'" ' PORTLAND, : OREGON, TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL 2J, 1903. PRICE FIVE CENTS. ORGANIZED WORKERS: Y FIGHT THE FAIR MA Threats Made to Appeal to Referendum if Wae,,r ly Early Settlement Can Avert Very Grave Trouble The Views of Prominent Citizens Anenf Situation y r Aabor union men are seriously think ing of bringing another weapon into ilay in order to win the demands of the painters and carpenters. They contend that they are In a poaltion to aay whether or not the Lewis and Clark Fair Bhull be held, and strongly intimate that they are join to exercise their power In that direction If there are not some Important changes in the labor situation within the next few days. They argue that the Fair will prove of untold benefit to the property owners, real estate men, mlllowners. master builders and all other employers, but of little, if any, help to the laboring - mun. In the end. some of them con tend that the enterprise will be a det riment to them. It will only have the effect, so some of them say. of over doing the city in a building way for the next two years, crowding Portland with wage-earners, and when the Exposition 1b a thing of the past there will be about three men for every job. In speuking ubout the matter O. N. Pierce, business agent for the carpenters, says: "If we take n notion to do so we can circulate it petition und secure enough signatures m u duy to have the appro priation made for the Fair submitted to the people for a referendum vote. We would only need about 4.200 names and we could got these without any trouble at all. Laboring men do not care to Knock' the Fair, and under ordinary circumstance would not think of doing so. Hut It is simply disgusting te sea those who are to receive the benefit from the enterprise get so small as not to allow us the .same rate of wuges that re paid in the other Coast cities. They want to reap all the benefit, even to the extent of keeping us down to the very lowest wage that they possibly can. If there Is not a change soon It Is very probable that we will take steps to pre vent the Fair ever being held. As I ay. we could get the necessary names to have the matter brought before the people in very short order, and once before them there are enough of us to defeat the bill passed by the Legisla ture. Many of the union labor people believe that the Fair is nothing more than a big private concern, conceived by the capitalists and employers for the purpose of making as much out of It ns they can. Whether they will be allowed to do so or not remains to be seen." Groups of laboring men are on the streets today talking of the strike, sit uation, which Is the all-absorbing sub ject among them. At the meeting of the 'Building Trades Council last night a committee was appointed to make arrangements for a big mass meeting to be held In a few days. Employers, business men and all others are invited to attend. Speeches will be made, set ting forth the reasons that the demands of the carpenters and painters should be granted, and If anyone wishes to cham pion the other side of the controversy he will be invited to do so. This lnvi tation will be In the nature of a chal lenge, and an Interesting debate is ex pected to ensue. The laboring men are firmly of the mlllmen and the Master Builders' and Painters Associations has been effected nd they are making a careful Investi gation of the matter. As soon as sufflc lent evidence is secured to prove the matter, they state that the facts in the sase will be published in the form of worn statements. At the Falling Building, they say, no trouble is experienced in securing lum- er. because . McKenzie & Wallace are members of the association and are em tloytng non-union men. But at other places, they argue, where union men are jraployed no building material is avail ble. This Is one of the instances they olnt to. to show that a combine does xlst. According to certain mechanics there ire fully 400 carpenters idle, V$d they tne reason given by the emblovers this condition of affairs Is beBause lumber can be procured. Opposite Tlew. w. u. Francis, of the City Retail Lum- er Office Is emphatic in the statement 'hat no combine exists so far as the nlllowners are concerned. He says: "All local orders for lumber pass through this office, and I know that no Incrimination Is made as to who shall Mid shall not buy lumber. We ask no juestion as to whether union help Is imployed or not. There is an unusual ly heavy supply of lumber going to foreign tolnts now, and that is the eason that the local demand cannot e supplied at present." "Ia it not strange." suggested the re porter, "that a shortage should occur it this particular time, when certain mechanics are asking for Increased jragesT' "It Is a strange coincidence," he an iwered, "but I am positive that no combine exists to keep down wages. It m the foreign trade, and that alone which has reduced the lor! in rrtfiAr aim. ply. Aalde from the several vessels loading here, there are many en route and cargoes have to be held for them' very day that , a vessel lies Idle here waiting for a cargo the sawmill owners re-, obliged to pay a heavy demur rasa." Oaneral Charles r. Beaba, ex-president of tha Chamber of Commerce and a prominent member of the Lewis and Clark Fair Aasociatlon. Thi la tha Tha strike situation has assumed such proportions as to threaten tha existence of the Lewis and Clark Fair. In addition to this organised labor, through Ita accredited representatives, set forth the statement that If they are pushed to the wall they will make a concerted effort to put aside tha 1400,000 appropriation for the Morrison street bridge, the $116,000 for the portage road and the $15,000 for the Bell wood ferry. Labor claims to be able to accomplish' 'all of this through the use of the referendum. TJte leader say that while they. would be very much averse to adopting such atrenuoua measures, yet 'they may feel compelled to do ao If the combine between the mlllmen. and the Master Painters' Association la continued. It la held by the union men that such action on their part la absolutely essential to the perpetuation of organised labor In Portland. ' . It la held by aome that capital as represented by the mlllmen la In clined to be oppressive to the extent of Joining In an issue which does their refusal to sell building material to contractors employing union their refusal to aell building material to contractors employmlng union labor does not meet with the hearty endorsement of the conaervatlve business men. The Journal publishes today Interviews with well-known Portland cltiaens. It will be seen that they do not by any -meant endorse the attitude of those who are apparently acting as sponsors for tha present trouble. On the other .hand many are Inclined to the belief that labor as an organisation would lie very short; sighted If It adopted a policy of boycott against the Lewis and Clark Fair, or any other Institution In which tha publlo Is directly concerned. ' In any event the situation is sufficiently serious to authorise tha belief that unless both sides come t6 an early amicable understanding, either by way of arbitration or a rttlemnt- of their differences, the entire labor world and commercial Interests of Portland will receive 'a shock from which It will take many months to recover. 1 -.

It Is not possible that the union men would put any obstacle In the way of a successful exposition. Henry Kahn, ex-presldent Of the Chamber of Commerce and a member of the Lewis an Clark Fair Association. I know so little about the trouble that I can make only a general statement. I believe the members of the unions and the leader of the unions generally are too broad-minded to resort to any means that would be detrimental to the Interests of the fair, and that means detrimental to the Interests of the state at large. A. H. Derera, chairman of the exhibit committee of the fair, was out of his office when a reporter called this morn ing, but It is understood that he shares the opinion that the worklngmen will do nothing that will in any way hurt the fair. Adolph Wolfe, cf Ziipmaa II Wolfe. "I have too much faith in the good sense, loyalty and patriotism of the working people to believe that they would attempt to attack the Lewis and Clark enterprise as a means of revenge for the unfortunate condition of labor affairs at present obtaining. The fair Is of national as well as municipal Im portance and In no way responsible for the local labor troubles. I believe every business man In this community would, and will, do all In his power to bring about an amicable adjustment of the. present dHBculfles." BV O. WortMia. of Olda, Wortman ft Xing'. "As a matter of Justice to all there should be earnest thought on the part of any concern or combination of business concerns before making an at tack on tha institution of organized la bor. On the other hand the laboring people should be equally thoughtful of the best Interests of the community and delay action which might defeat any enterprise which means added wealth to Portland and. in fact, the state of Oregon." R, X. Hall, advertising department O. B. ft W. "Unions have strong sup port In Portland and I do not believe that an attack, on them by a few In dividual concerns will amount to much. I believe that the business men of this community are largely in sympathy with organized labor nd would not feel friendly to any scheme of antagonism. Our company is about to spend $100,000 In advertising this section of Oregon. and let me say that the eyes of the whole country Is on the Northwest. The Lewis and Clark Fair will do Im mense good to this city and state, and I do not believe a few dealers In mer chandise, or such persons as may be ad verse to the principles of unionism, should Jeopardlae the fair enterprise by causing the army of worklngmen to be come enemies to it." Secretary Bead of the Lewis and Clark Fair Commission, when Informed that the union labor men are seriously think ing of "knocking" the centennial in the event It is ascertained that a combine has been effected to keep down wages, was asked for a' statement about the proposition, but declined to speak for .publication; William Barry, a business man. said: "The laboring man must protect him self. Rents, the price of every commod ity and the cost of living have advanced In Portland, and the only and direct cause of It all Is because the Lewis and Clark. Fair Is to be held here. Wages, however, remain the same. Should not the working man receive some additional pay to meet the increased cost of living? If he does not, it would be better for him, if the Fair were never held or even talked of. Some employers are reason able and are willing to concede the de mand for a proportionate increase In wages, but the majority. It seems, are strictly opposed to It. I will say this much: If the Fair is held and working men are kept down to a low wage tha enterprise Is going to work an undue hardship on them. The steady 'advance In lumber, rents and every other com modity proves this. They have gone up on account or tne Fair. Now, let the wages be correspondingly Increased." A prominent labor representative, who requests that his name be withheld for the present, says: "The Lewis and Clark Fair officials have already been apprised of the fact that the wage-earners of this city cannot be trifled with, and advised to take' some action to bring about a settlement of the present difficulty be tween employers and employes. If It Is shown to be true that there is a com bine on here to keep down wages It can be set down as a fact that the Lewis and Clark Fair Will not be held at Port land In 190S. By taking advantage of the referendum law the union men are strong enough to put an inglorious end to that enterprise. If they are to re ceive no- additional wage every one knows that it will prove a detriment to them. Already the proposed Fair has increased the cost Of living to an enor mous degree. If the mill owners, mas ter builders and employers generally be- ! Have In . retrenchment, it Is' altogether probable that the union men will join hands with them on this proposition, and will alaot by means of tha referendum.

The suit was tried over a year ago, secretly, and not until the plain tiff. Miss Mary McNeills, brought another action, asking for a pub lic trial, was any of the case allowed to get out. Miss McNeills claims to be in possession of letters written by the Senator to her together with a number of other exhibits cal culated to show that the million aire had a warm affection for her. (Journal Special Service.) LONDON, April 21. The tight between revolutionists and Turkish troops, re ported yesterday, appears to have been a virtual victory of the rebels, although they were repulsed after a gallant at tack on the soldiers. The Turkish loss was much heavier than that of the attacking party. The Kvening Star's Sofia correspond ent wired today that the 6 U members of a revolutionary band who were defeated and scattered by Turks at Menellk. April 9, were betrayed by tha Turkish mili tary. The reason they were not annihilated was they were re-enforced by the villagers. The fight lasted six hours. The Turks retreated after losing Bve killed and six wounded. A tight has occurred at Zenol. lusting six hours. Sixty-five revolutionists at tacked two battalions of Turks. They were repulsed with a loss of 15 killed and IB wounded, after a bitter hund-to-hand fight. The Turkish loss was much heavier. 5 MAN WHO AROUSED IRE OF GERMANY T I set aside the $100,000 appropriation made for the Morrison street bridge, the $1(15.000 for the portage road around The Dalles and the J15.U00 for the Sell wood ferry." Condemn the Combine. Whereas. The Hulhllnir Trades Coun cil of Portland, Ore., deems It expodlent to Inform the public of -the condition which prevails In this locality at the present time, owing to the fact that the contractors and lumbering combines have conspired to injure the building industry of this city by refusing to hell material to nil contractors employing union labor, thereby causing great financial loss to all branches of business; therefore be It Kesolved, That the Hullding Trades Council call a mass meeting anil earnest ly request the builders, lumbering and business men or Portland to attend said meeting to have the question debated from both standpoints. As we consider the question of vital Importance to ev ery citizen of the country; be It further Resolved. That the Council hereby challenge any and all associations of master contractors or combinations -to a Joint debrfte of the question at issue. At the regular meeting of the Building Trades council last night the above reso lutions were passed. After making a careful investigation of the matter union men say they are convinced that a com bine has been effected for the purpose of disrupting local organized labor. Organixing Trip. T. E. Latimer, state organizer for the A. L. I'.. has returned from an organiz ing trip up the Willamette Valley. He reports having organized a Federal Un ion ay Medford, and states that he has received applications to form similar or ganizations at Astoria, Pendleton. La Orande and The Dalles. He says that he will leave next week to look after the wants of these places. Sailors Are Scaroe. Sailors are said to be more scarce In Portland than was ever before known. This Is ascribed to the reason that many of them, as soon as they arrive here. leave for the sawmills and logging camps, where they can command higher wages than by following the sea. Here tofore It seems that It was more difficult for them to get employment on land. Of recent date many new mills and logging camps have started up and down the 'river and,. It is stated that It has been compar atively easy ' for a common laborer to get Work. As a consequence nearly all the coasters lose their men .as soon as they arrive here. This la said to be working a great hardship upon the own ers of the deep sea vessels coming to this port, it is maKing sailors come un usually hlh, and In some Instances they have to send to other points for them, UNION MEN ON .TSUL .

The date of his arrival In Portland is not yet known, but it Is believed he will consider Southern and Central Ore gon from a Portland basis, and may even go over the proposed routes.

Although the extension of railroad lines Into Central Oregon Is of vital lm- ! portunce In the Northwest, Its consld- ! i nation Is thought to be but an incident i j of the railroad king's tour. One ques- I j tion that has been agitated for some i time and which has proven a mystery j too deep for even the most astute rail- i road official in the West, is that of own- ership of the California Northwestern, j ; and It Is expected that tills will be ' . cleared up.
