All Is peaceful and serene around the

lieved that the disturbances of the past

repeated.
Architect Lewi' derisive action yes
terday. It I thought, will have the effect
Of keeping Master Painter Moorehouso
off the premises until the strike la set
tled. .
It la probable that the laborers' strike
will be nettled today. With that object
Itt view arrangements have been made
for a conference of representatives of
the Building Trades Council and the
Master Bricklayers' Association. It Is
tated that both able are prepared to
make concessions. If this Is true It Is
altogether likely that the laborers will
return to work tomorrow morning.
.By their walking out yesterday sev
eral large brick buildings were tied up
In varlia parts of the olty. Without
hodcarrlers and concrete men It was Im
possible for the bricklayers to continue
operations. With the settlement of this
part of the difficulty the strike sltue
Jon will be considerably simplified.
Beport of Combine.
There la persistent rumor on the
Streets to the effect that the planing
mill men are going to assist the Master
Painters and Builders by refusing to sell
lumber to any contractor employing
union mechanics. It is said that they
wJU constitute a part of the combine
..whlch was recently formed for the pur
' pose of disrupting local organized labor.
If such a course is taken all admit that
Jt will be the mean of bringing on n
reneral strike and tlelng up Indefinitely
building operations in Portland. G. W.
flerdon, secretary of the Master Build
ers' Association and the recognized lead-
rr of the combine, was asked about the
matter this morning. He declined to
make any comment on the matter
though he admitted that the right Is far
from ended. Mr. Gordon Is very bitter
igalnst the methods employed by the
anions to gain concessions, and substan
tially says that organised labor Is a
curse to Portland.
'Twelve years ago." he said, "exclud
Ing the Bricklayers' Union, there were
no labor organizations In this city.
Times were never more prosperous and
wages were higher than they are at
present. Carpenters were making 13.50
to 14.50 per day. 'But as soon as unions
were organized there was an Immediate
thane. Wages came 'down and labor
difficulties have since been frequent.
Before that time strikes were unknown
and the worklngman made money."
. Opposed to Unions.
'If the Vaster Painters can induce the
planing mill men to Join them they will
have a powerful ally, as It Is1 known that
ome of the planing mill owners are op
posed to the unions. They demon
strated this fact during the building
trades strike last summer. Whenever
4hfy could get them they put non-union
5ien to work in the places formerly held
y the strikers.
The painters appear to he in the best
f spirits this morning, and are oonft
'lent of Ultimate victory. The Chase
Paint & Oil Company signed the union
'tgreement last tilght and the union
tlalm that it has won an Important
point.' Mr. Chase was a member of the
Master Painters' Association and the
Arm he Tereeents is one of the largest!
In Portland. When seen this morning
.be said:
Mr. Chase Talks.
"I considered It my duty to withdraw
from the association and sign the Union
agreement. There is nothing unreason
abfe Tri' the demands made, and I do not
think that it was good business policy
vr to have allowed a strike to come.
In all the contracts recently secured I
Invariably figured on the basis of pay
ing1 my men 13.50 per day. the amount
of 'Wages asked by the union. I think
that all of the other member of the
Master Painters' Association did the
an me thing. Then why not pay the men
jtha,t amount, sign the agreement and
be done-with the matter? That Is the
Jvay i have, reasoned the matter out. 1
ave contracts to complete and I want
to finish them as soon us possible. In
'sly' opinion there Is no excuse for pro
longing this affair and injuring the busi
jaess prospectR of tin' city."
It will be seen that Mr. Chase cor
roborates one of the Important state
ments made by J. P. Burns, who recently

THE STABLEMEN
NOT TO STRIKE
Matter Now in Hands of the Fed
erated Trades.
It Is now announced that the stable
men will not go on a strike tomorrow
morning, but It Is possible that they may
be locked out. Officers of the union, how
ever, hardly expert Jhls to occur.
Some time ago the Stablemen's t'nion
presented to their employers a new
agreement to sign. The only difference
between the old and the new was the
wage question. The old rate of wages
was 2 per day, and the union asked
that It be increased to 12.50. Members
of the association declined to grant the
concession, and so Informed the union.
It was demanded thut the hew scale
should go Into effect on April ID, 1903.

Frailer & McLean, prominent members
of the Employers' Association, began to
prepare for what they believed would be
a strike by discharging union men and
employing others. They pursued this
policy until all but four union employes
were discharged. In order to save these

were called out by the union. This In
formation Is given by Secretary Hitler,
who also says:
'There will be no strike of the stable
men tomorrow. The matter has been
placed In the hands of the Federated
Trades Council for settlement. Unless
Frailer & McLean reinstate their old em
ployes the probabilities are they will be
placed on the unfair list. Their plan all
along has been to get non-union men
before tomorrow, and then let the other
members of the association fight It out
with the union. It is said that nothing
would have pleased the Frazler people
better than to have seen us go on
strike tomorrow."

Mr. McLean was Been this morning, but
declined to make a statement. A num

DODGED OFFICERS.
FOR BEING MANY
DAYS IN JAIL
Judge Webster Certifies for Sail
ors' Witness Fees.
It Is owing to The Journal's expos
ure of methods practiced by certain
attorneys, that three young Scandina
vians were allowed their witness fees
by Judge Webster late yesterday.
Charles liuren was kidnaped several
weeks ago and James White found
guilty of the crime. Buren, Cyren and
Pearson (the two latter witnesses) were
held In the city and county Jail for 63
days pending the settlement of the case.
Last Friday an attorney appeared for
the Incarcerated witnesses and demand
ed their release, and witness' fees,
amounting In each case to $106. Judge
Frazer ordered the men's release, but
referred the matter of fees to Judge
Webster. It was ascertained that the
attorneys asked $70 from the sailors as
a fee for attorney work. It developes
that In such cases the work of an at
torney is not necessary and when the
County Commissioners meet tomorrow
the young men will probably receive all
the money they ask.

Because Rev. W. O. Kins'. Distor of if
First Christian Church at the eaochef .ne
city of La Grande did hot substantiate
charges made to President Roosevelt
against Judge J. W. Knowles; because
the President does not know whether or
not Judge Knowles Is overly fond of
Manhattan cock tails and gin fines ! be
cause Edward W. Bartlett Is showing no
undue haste to give up his Job; because
on a memorable occasion at Salem sev
eral years ago in the silent watches of
the night Bartlett threw tnree vote to
Senator John H. Mitchell, at a time
when Mitchell thought he wanted them
tiadly; because the President Is swinging
around the circle and is paying little at
tention to offices and office holders, and
Just because they don't, no one knows
who will eventually be register of the
United States land office at La Orande.
Thereby hangs a tale.
The office has been in the undisputed
possession of Hon. Edward W, BTV,tt
for the Dast five years. Other -4 ie

the senatorial toga. Bartlett threw
enough votes to Mitchell to have elected
him. bad there not been treachery else
where at the last moment. For this
work. Senator Mitchell gave Mr. Bartlett
his solemn promise that he might remain
in possession of the La Grande regis
trsrshlp. Mr. Mitch U Swltche.
But Mr. Mitchell switched to A. B.
Thompson of Pendleton; a eompromls.
waa effected; Thompson was appointed
receiver to fill the Dlace of 8. O. Swack-
hammer and Judge Knowles was named
as Mr. Bartlett's successor.
Then the news waa flashed from
Washington that serious chsrgee had
been made against Knowles and the ap
pointment was "held up."
Thereby hangs another tale.
It has heretofore been regarded as a
mystery what those charges were. It
has been considered sufficient at Wash
ington to say that there were charges
and that they were being investigated.
Mr. Knewles' friends said they were
trivial and amounted to nothing; Mr.
Bartlett's adherents declared them to be
serious and of sufficient weight to make
him Ineligible.
The truth leaked out today.
When It was announced that Knowles
was to be appointed it Is said that Rev.
W. O. King, pastor of the Christian
Church of that town, wrote to the Pres
ident and charged that Knowles was
an Intemperate man, that he was a
gambler and that he "stood In" with thi
"Bporting" element.
A special agent of the government vis
ited La Grande and asked Pastor King
to substantiate his charges, and this it
Is alleged the minister could not do, and
the matter still remains In statu u.uo.
Land Offloe la Bad Way.
The land office at La Orande has not
been hovering under the white wiiPK '
peace for several years. Twenty moons
or more ago. Receiver Swackhammer
and Register Bartlett quit swapping
Jokes during office hours and forget to
call each other "Ed" and "Swock" as In
the palmy days of yore and it was a rare
occurrence to see them at the Mint or
Dick Kelly's with their buttons pressed
against the Juice pole at the same time.
But when the coolness In the old Uazette
office, which Uncle Sam has rented,
became so marked that the receiver and
the register "failed to speulc as they
passed by," Oene Schow, who was the
deputy to both officials, packed up his
doll clothes and declined to play any
more. The fight was carried Into poli
tics, both men being Republicans, but of
a different brand. Mr. Swackhammer la
a deacon in the Scrlber wing while Ed
Bartlett trots with the Church element.
It la said that these are some of the
reasons that made Senator Mitchell
break his promise and caused President
Roosevelt to say: "Behold bow good and
how pleasant it Is, etc."
Ed Bartlett is in the city today. Hla
mission Is a paclno one. He attended
iha hnriA Bala nut fit thu mc track and
Is now spending a few pleasant nou
with friends.
And . there are no wars nor rumors' of
wars In the Orande Ronde Valley. The
spear is Idle now, and the crimson tide
of battle ebbs and flows no longer where
the sugar. Jbeet grows.
Still Ed Bartlett is jet register of the
La Orande land office.
