Owners of Failing Building Say Only Organized Labor Will Be Em- -ployed by them Mayor Williams Suggests Arbitration But Meets With No Ready Re sponse From Either Side. The nnion soored a very decisive victory at 11 o'clock this morning. At that time O. Alvord, representing the railing Estate, called at union headquarters and signed an agreement to the effect that if the men who were called off the Tailing Building y.eterday would return to work none but union men would be employed. He further agreed that If sheeny Bros., who have the painting eon. tract, refuse to abide by th agreement the work . will be taken from them, Bhecuy Bros, are members of the Master Painters' Association, and It is be lieved that this turn of affairs will have. a demoralising effect upon that organ, isatlon. Von-unlon msa are reported to be at work on two other small Jobs on Mor rison etreet. They will probably be declared unfair this afternoon. Despite the Orst victory gained by the union men there la every reason to believe that the master painters will not give up without a struggle. Should the light be prolonged it la not unlikely that fully 3,000 worklna; man will be Involved. This means oomplete stagnation In building' circles. Mayor Williams has suggested arbitration, but as yet neither the union men nor the master painters have taken any steps looking to the adoption of such a plan.

(Journal Special Service.) CHICAGO, April 7. Reports from all sections of the state show exceptionally early and heavy totes In nil municipal ltles. In Chicago more than one-half the vote had been cast before 9 o'clock. and although It has been one of the tlerceBt and most bitter campaigns In history, not a disturbance has been re ported from any of the polling places, Betting is even and fully a half mil lion dollars was wagered before the vot ing began. One of the heaviest bets waw that of Bookmaker Cleary, who wagered $25,000 on Carter Harrison, Gates and Drake taking the other side. ROBBER HOLDS UP A BEAUJIFUL GIRL Neither sex, youth nor beauty are qualifications for exemption when the Portland highwayman takes the road. This is attested by the fact that Miss Pearl Lamberson. V years of ae and prtty, was madeto "stand and deliver' at the point of an ugly-looking revolver, "n, That the girl and her companion, Ray Lamberson, her brother, were not relieved of anything of value was due to the fact that the hojd-up ar tist whose victims they were meant to be, was a novice In hlb line. Al though money could have been taken from them, the robber consented himself with slapping the pockets of his victims, noting the absence of jingle and bidding them "move on." A flaring arc light at the' corner of Nineteenth and Hancock streets, Irvington, shed its rays over the place the robber chose for the perpetra ' tion of his daring crime. He wore no mask, and his features were plainly discernible to the two young people whom he faced. Obeying the young "Btlck-up's" command, the boy and his sister hur ried home, there tolling In breathless excitement the experience that had befallen them. The police were notified immediately, and detectives were dispatched to investigate. This Is the boldest hold-up occurring since the daylight robbery some two months ago, and leads the officers to the belief that- a new man has arrived on the scene. That an experienced man would be so bold is son" sidered scarcely creditable, however, and from the manner in which he operated the police believe him an amateur. The hold-up is described by Pearl and Ray Lemberson as a man prob ably 21 years of age, with light hair and blue eyes. He was dressed neatly and wore a dark suit at the time.

FARGO, s. V.. April 7. Western hos pitality was the keynote of the magnifi cent welcome tendered to President Roosevelt this morning. From hundreds of milts around the city came throngs of people to greet the nation's executive and to lienr him speak. Mr. Roosevelt umse early this morn ing and for the Hist time since his Westward Journey began he donned his famous "Rough Rider" hat. As the party alighted I'lurn the special train the crowd caught sight of the familiar hat and there was a shout of delight. After breakfasting the President was escorted In the Upeia House. The build ing was already Jammed with people to its capacity, and hundreds were unable to force nil entrance. The President's address was devoted to the Philippines and the army. After paying a high tribute to the soldiers of the Northwest, who fought In the Civil War and the war with Spain, Mr. Roose velt referred to the words of McKinley concerning "Those of little faith w,.o wished us to abandon tin- Islands." After leaving the Opera House the President addressed an overflow meeting from the balcony of the Waldorf Hotel. MAT0B WILUAK8. "The strike that threatens the City of Portland will. If allowed to come to a full head, be a public disaster, and should be settled by arbitration us In the end all parties Interested will find that this is the only way by which thy can successfully adjust their grievances. "1 am willing to do anything In my power, either to appoint a commission to arbitrate this ques tion or to act In that capacity myself. My opinion Is that the party that acts first along these Hues will find public sympathy entirely on Its side, which, of course, would naturally help their HUse. "Further continuance of the strike will Interfere materially with the prosperity of the city, and I sincerely hope that the parties Interested will not be stubborn and forget ths duty they owe the people at large. By all means let them arbitrate."

That was the subject of President Roosevelt's address In the Opera House of this city this morning. He said: Sons of the Northwest. My Fellow Citizens: The Northwest, whose sons in the Civil War added such brilliant pages to the honor lull of the republic, likewise lime a full share In the struggle of which the war with Spain was the be ginning; a struggle slight Indeed when compared with the gigantic death wres tle which fur for years stamped to and fro across the Southern Stales in the Civil War; hut a struggle fraught with consequences to tile nation, and indeed to the world, out of all proportion to the smalless of the effort upon our part. Three ami a half years ago President McKinley spoke In the adjoining State of j Minnesota on the occasion uf the return oi ine i no leciiui ..i niiieaoitt volunteers from tha Philippine Islands, where they had served with your own gallant sons of the North llakola Regiment.

Its members decided to employ non-union men Just as soon as they can possibly procure them. If this plan Is faith fully adhered to every building upon which the non-unionists go to work will be tied up. according to the statement made by those who are conducting the strike. These tactics would soon throw in the neighborhood of 2.500 or 3,000 men out of employment. The strikers say that they are deter mined to carry on an aggressive fight. They state Ciat they will adopt no half way measures, let results be what they may. At the meeting of the Building 1 rades Council last night they took oc casion to censure the Board of Trade for Its presumption, as they term It. giving them unsought advice as to what course tiiey should take during the pres ent trouble. They believe that the reso lutions of the board were drafted with the Intention of turning public opinion against the union. A vigorous reply was made. llsst Tonhjht. Tonight both the Master Builders' and the lirlcklayers' Associations meet. Their action is being awaited with In terest. It is certain that tiiey will dis cuss the strike situation In all Its varl- otis phases. It Is believed that they will force the issue by extending to tha ! Master Painters' Association their fult' Biipport and earnest co-operation. If ! they do It will resolve itself into a flght. I organist d capital versus organised la bor, pure and simple. The Protective Loborers' Union, the members of which are employed by the Bricklayers' Asso ciation, are asking for concessions. If the association takes the same stand a the Master Painters, matters will more complicated. G. W. Gordon, a mas ter builder and a member of the asso ciation, says that the time Is comlna when each painter. r carpenter and all other craftsmen will be paid what they are worth and no more. The minimum scale will be done away with and good men will draw the best of wage, while poor mechanics will receive smaller re muneration. Whether he Intends to In sist upon their Idea being taken up by the association tonight he declined to say. but he admitted that the Mastel Builders will have to place themselves on record at once. Bay Will Win. The strikers are confident of winning? out in a few days. At their meeting this morning the first thing the Executive Board did was to appoint six mora special business agents to patrol differ ent sections of the city with Instruc tions to lose no time in reporting all buildings where non-union painters are employed. At such places the union mechanics will be withdrawn with little or no ceremony. That they will heed the order to quit was demonstrated yester day at the Falling Building and a new , residence on Sixteenth and Irving streets, where all the men were called off. These two structures are still designated as unfair. Not a man la em ployed about the Falling Building to day, with the exception of two non. union iron workers. A representative o the estate called at unloij headquarters this morning and inquired what step would be necessary in order to have th work resumed. He was Informed thai -as soon as the contractors decide to put union men to work there, and no others. 1 the difficulty would be settled Immedi ately. The matter Is now pending and many believe that a full crew of men will soon be at work on the building . again. J. McKenzle is the general con tractor, but h? has sublet contracts to Master Painters and others. He says that it is not his intention to allow (he building to stand Idle for any great length of time, and that it Is probable (Continued on Second Page.) IT : HURLED 100 FEET !

Scott, aged ts 6 years,, yesterday afternoon 30 miles south of Albany, Or. Upon the urrlval of the Southern Pacific train this morning, the unfortunate man was removed to the police station, and later to tha county poor house. He cried bitterly at the thought of going there. hen relating his terrible expedience to The Journal this mor the aged man could scarcely talk above a whisper. He complained that he was injured so badly Internally that he was hardly able to apeak. "I was walking the track." said Scott, "and had reachedthe trestle below Albany. It Is Quite a lptvg span, and I was unable to, rnake my way with , sufficient rapidity to escape the danger from the oncoming passenger train. The best I could do was to try and find roomon the trestle. I crowded to the edge, and as I did so, the train swept by. The first steps knocked me from my position, and I felt myself hurled to what4 fully ex pected would be my death. "The fall was awful. I cannot descrlbftlt. I was struck with ter rible force by the steps of the car, and was badly injured. The distance from the trestle to the rocky depths below must be over 100 feet, and when I strick on the rocks and debris. I lost consciousness. "The next I knew was when I found myself on the train bound fof Portland. They had mercifully stopped, picked me up and summoned medical assistance at the first station. Then I was brought ta this City," Tears dimmed the oUt man's eyes as he finished his story, for he Wa drawing toward the most pitiful portion of It. : "And now." he continued. "I'm going to the poor house- The thought is dreadful, but even the poor house Is preferable to this misery an4 pain. "Have yod'tio family?" was asked. .
