The laaua naa leen forced, they assert, oy.ths uncora promising attitude of what they term the lumber trust Laborers. Oat. As a result of the laborers being call ed out yesterday by Business Agent Smith of the Protective Laborers' Un ion, exclusively stated la yesterday's Journal, many bricklayers are idle to day. Mr Smith was unable to make the complete, rounds yesterday and this mornlnir he called out the laborers on the brick building belns; erected opposite the Willamette Iron Works. Some of the master bricklayers are paying the union scale, and consequently these are not affected. It Is stated, however, that it will be only a -matter of a short time until every building, brick or otherwise. Is completely tied up .If no immediate settlement is brought about The rea son assigned for this statement Is that when a brick buildinc Is erected to a certain stage, carpenter work -must be done before further progress can be made. Oct Benefits. There are eleven unions connected with the. Building Trades Council, and they have a membership of about 2.400. If circumstances become such that all of them will be thrown out of employment the majority will receive regular bene fit dues from their respective Interna tlonal organisations. The : painters and carpenters are now drawing weekly al lowancea ranging from 110 to $14 per week. Those who have been members but a short time and are not entitled to regular benefits will receive assistance. If It Is deemed necessary, from other sources In. the way of voluntary dona tions from other unions. During the anthracite strike in Pennsylvania last year the Portland unions contributed to the miners' support In the neighborhood of S10.000. and H. O. Greene, business agent of the Building Tradea Council. says that they will be willing to reclpro cate if the opportunity preaenta itself. Kay Spread. There Is a persistent rumor afloat that the longshoremen are contemplating tak lng a hand In the fight by refusing to load the lumber vessels now In port Officers of the union, however, deny this, but other members of the organisation av that auch action haa been under con- FofMtfTS Pi-mart to Hold Meetin slderatlon.

He had been a model prisoner since enter ing the Institution in May. 10J, and before having served much time was made a trusty. He had served as such for three month, often having ample opportunity to escape, but declining to do so until yesterday. C. W. James, superintendent of tha penitentiary, posted a $50 reward for the arrest and detention of the escaped convict, and several omcers were de tailed to search for him. Long seems to have been very successful In -his effort to gain lasting liberty, for up to a late hour today all efforts to capture him hud proved unavailing. Seises the Opportunity. Yesterday afternoon fong was work ing juat outside te penitentiary walls. He had been engaged previously In the SRfrie work, and why he selected this op- tunity above numerous others Is s tystery. He waa left alone for a time, and when the guard returned. Long had flown. The alarm was given, and Im mediate but futile steps were taken to apprehend the escape before he could make his way far from the place. Long was sent up from Douglas Coun ty. He was arrested, tried and convicted for receiving atolen goods. By escaping from the penitentiary. Long loses all of the "good time" he had to his credit. through his excellent behavior.

Ancient Order of Foresters, has returned from a via It to Pioneer Court of Troutdale, and re ports having met with a hearty recep- tlon there. ' Mr. Adler says the Trout dale lodge is in excellent condition; has a large and enthusiastic membership, and haa been the means of accomplish ing much good in that section. Pioneer Court Is the banner lodge of the order in Oregon and Washington, and Its rec ord of benefits paid In cases of sickness or death are unsurpassed anywhere. Portland Court paid a fraternal visit to Mount Hood Court Ancient Order of Foresters, at Oregon City, on last Mon day evening, refreshments being served by the host organization. A rousing gathering of Foresters will take place In the Mount. Hood Court Hall on the even ing of May 4. at which time members of the following lodges will be present: Pioneer, of Troutdale; Lafayette, of La Camas; Portland, and others. CASEY GETS 90 DAYS. ; "'Box Car" Casey, an old familiar figure In police circles, was arraigned before Judge Hogue in the Municipal Court this morning on a charge of drunkenness. As this was the 999th time Casey had been before the court on a similar charge ha was sentenced to serve a term of 90 days In the city Jail. Casey was former ly one of the most competent machinists In America, and it was he who invented the great Westlnghouse airbrake now In use on the large railway systems of this and other countries. rounds that the Southern Paclflc freight handlers are also dlscussstng the advloa blllty of not loading cars with lumber from the mills. If these reports prove true, nearly all the foreign, coastwise and Interior lumber trade will be cut off. well 'as the local, and as a conse quence the mills would be forced to shut down. If a settlement la not soon reach ed It will undoubtedly come to this, fee rordtnar to the local labor leaders. Q. Y. Harry, president of the State Feder atlon of Labor, this morning said: I do not think there is any probability of a general strike. But there Is one thing certain: The Building Trades peo ple will have the support of organised labor everywhere, both local and na tlonal. It Is now nothing more nor less than a lockout, forced by the lumber trust through the agency of the con tractors. Painters' Statement E. A. Price, a member of the Painters' Union, says that the master painte can well afford to Dav the. union scale, and submits the following statement to prove his assertion: "One hundred pounds of lead costs $6.60 and Ave gallons of oil $3.06. This makes a total of $9.66 and Is sufficient to paint two coats covering 1,200 square feet. One man will do this work In three days. Allowing him 13.60 per day his wages will amount to $10.60 for the Job. The total cost of material and labor will, therefore, amount to $20.05. j',Now the contractors charge $2.60 to paint 100 square feet. In painting 1,200 feet his charge will amount to 12 times $2.50, or $30. His profit will be the difference between $30 and $20.06, which makes $9.96 on the wages of one man for a period of three days. He usually has several men at work for him, and it Is easy to see that he could make a handsome profit on a small outlay of capital by allowing union wages. By not granting them he makes an enormous - 4 - 4 m. . : il l I if J a UWW N4A - 4 1 i V4V.V - , t w .irTcruur?v fail-.; i IT 1. -W K i Am, 1 mai. ...

Suit has been filed In the State ClrT cult Court by Deputy District Attorney Spencer against Carl L. Schmidt of the Lobby Saloon. The action brings up the old fight waged by S. Morton Conn to gain possession of the nlckle-ln-the-slot business in Portland. Monday of this week, the police arrested J. Blssler and Jeff Nye for operating slot machines. It developed that the machines operated were not those of the trust pattern for which Cohn is agent. When this be- earns known, Frank Snyder and Attorney B. M. Smith entered a complaint against Schmidt of the Lobby, as it was under stood he operated one of the Cohn ma chines.

McKay, of the Northern Pacific Lumber Company, was asked this morn ing- if lumber Is laid down by his firm at points in the Eastern part of the state at a cheaper figure than It Is sup plied to the local trade. He answered: Denies Beport 'That is all rot. It is sold at the same price, with the cost of loading; and hauling eliminated tr deducted. Sup plying the local retail trade we are at the expense of delivering and collecting our' bills. When we sand lumber to outside points we only have to put it aboard cars and that ends It. The buyer, however, has to pay the freight, and the product costs him much more than It does the local contractor." "It is said that you lay lumber down cheaper at Manila than It can be bought for here. Is that true?" "We put it aboard ships more cheaply, because all we have to do is to load It on vessels from our mill. We have nothing to do with paying the freight, however. The consumer has to foot this bill, and consequently It costs him much more than those who buy lumber In Portland." Are They Persecuted? Manager Francis of the City Retail Cumber Office, was asked this morning why It is that lumber Is being provided to McKenzlJ & Wallace, contractors on the new Falling Building, and to George W. Gordon, secretary of the Master Builders' Association, each of whom em ploy non-union men, when the manifesto ..issued by the mill owners explicitly ' stated that no material will be delivered to the local trade until the strike is end ed. He replied: ; "Those contractors ar being perse cuted and It Is' the plain duty of the mill owners to assist them In their hour of need." Mr. Francis then gave a -scriptural quotation. Favor Arbitration. Chief Bant. I believe arbitration Hi the best method of settling these labor questions. It has been the means of final settlement of all difficult 1m In re gard to labor troubles. Carefulness and wise precaution is better than hasty violent measures. By these methods many times serious troubles have been diverted. This has been demonstrated In this city. It can never be known what will develop when persons con gregate in large numbers whose inter ests and sympathy is divided on these questions. ' It might take but little to Incite an excited crowd Into a mob of violent people. It Is better to take pre cautionary steps to prevent, than It Is easy to suppress serious trouble on such occasions.- Olty Attorney PltigeraM stated this morning that he Is very muoh In favor of arbitration as a means of settling the present labor troubles. ,.'1 have made considerable study of such mat ters." said he, "and am convinced that arbitration Is the beet and quickest method of bringing about peaceful Con ditions between employer' and employe. county Clerk r. meld, in review ing the strike situation and the serious complications now arising from It. said this morning that a halt In the pres- lleve." continued Mr. Field, "that any move on the part of persons to block, Bertha Rueff. the pathway of an amicable settlement of the present difficulties should be con demned by all. I understand that the unions ask that the matters now agitat ing the sommuntty be 'IMft to a body of men1 who will arbitrate with tb,e view of justice to all. What more sen sible request could be made? If cor porations, - Individuals, or whomever they may be combine to defeat such a fair proposition, It then behooves those olttzens who have the community's best Interests at heart, to make them heard, even though the only means is to en list on the side of organized labor. George X. Howell, a prominent mem ber of the Typographical Union and of the executive board, held a brief conference with the Mayor this morn ing and proposed a plan of arbitration Information waa filed in the State Circuit Court today In the case of D. J. Hawley, who Is alleged to have shot Louis Llngren, April . In the case of Alfred A. Bronkey against the Southern Pacific Railroad Company, for damages, in the United States Circuit Court a demurrer waa overruled today by consent. Time to answer was extended until May IS, by Judge Bellinger today In the case of Lilllenthal Bros, versus D. W. and R. L. Stevens. Suit has been filed In the State Cir cuit Court by J. A. Prltchard versus Prltchard is suing to re cover "6 on a doctor bill which he alleges became due Dr. A. E. Rocker for treatment to ' defendant's husband, Charles Rueff. LEE WILL TELL ALL (Journal Special Service.) CHICAGO, April 23. Lieutenant Gov ernor Lee, of Missouri, who has been hiding here for. a week, returned to St. Louis this morning. He says he will tell all he knows about bribery in the last Legislature. louder Than Babies. The funny thing about It all Is that the very landlords who will not re;t ot the strike question which seemed to their premises to families that have oaDies win aumu musical insirumems him to be acceptable to the city execu tlve. "My plan." said Mr.. Howell. "Is to refer the whole matter to the executive board. Both the employes and the em ployers may submit their claims to that body and the board shall act as a board of arbitration." "But If the employers should object?" asked the- Mayor, t They may, but" I hardly think they will," responded Mr. Howell. "Of course we will meet with considerable difficulty. The mill owners, to use the language of the street, have become Involved In the fight, and It looks n If they and the other employers were trying to down unionism." "That seems to be apparent," said the Mayor. "But If they try to down the unions they muHt down the men who make the organizations and these are the worklngmen of Portland." "Some of the employers have made an avowed fight aguinst the unions with the Intention of destroying them," re joined Mr. Howell. "If they do they will hurt the unions ana the men who belong to them." said the Mayor. "Certainly they' will hurt the city. All parties should arbitrate, and the men who will refuse to sub ject his troubles to arbitration will re ceive jio sympathy from me,' "Arbitration Is all the unions ask." said Mr. Howell. "There they are right," replied the Mayor. "They phould have an oppor tunity to arbltraie. and, although the position Is a difficult one. I would take the place .f arbitrator. I would prefer that your suggestion that the whole matter be referred- to the execu tive board be adopted, but as I .aid. I am willing to accept the responsibilities." OREGON CITT. April 13. When the case -of A. Leulllng against Clackamas County was brought up for argument yesterday a postponement i until .today was secured by the District Attorney on the ground that the attorneys for tho plaintiff had been misinformed. A let ter was produced signed by the County Clerk In which he stated that the let ter was in the Oregon City postoffice on the tenth evening. Dut mat u i was not taken to the court-house until ' the next morning. Argument for a re opening of the case will be heard this morning at 10:30. The Willamette Pulp ft Paper Com pany has granted their employes' re quest for a semi-monthly pay day. This seems to settle the much-talkd-of to be strike for higher wages and ahorter hours. While neither have been grant ed, the men have gained a point In se curing the twice a month pay day, and It is gained with no trouble. - Now the Oregon City Woolen Millls employes, ask for the same concession, but as yet no action has been taken by the owners. The agreement en tered Into and signed about a year ago by the factory owners and Textile l.'nlon officers after the strike, will ex pire on May L Whether or not the same agreement will be kept for another year cannot be learned. In the Circuit Court yesterday the following cases were heard and settled: Decree for plaintiff In the suit of Catherine Gibbons vs. George and Laura Doll; In the case of Ethel .J.

Many a Portland Citizen Knows now Sure They Are, Nothing uncertain about the work of Doan's Kidney Pills In Portland. There is plenty of positive proof of this In the testimony of citizens. Such evidence should convince the most skeptical doubter. Read the following statement: D. D. Coffey, whose place of residence Is at 488 at Thirteenth street, says: "1 have been a great sufferer from car buncles or tumprs for years. Every once in a wnlle they appeared, not only one at a time, but broke out in different places, mostly on my arms or about my neck. Three years ago I suffered from a number of them, which broke out al most at the same time. I was treated by a physician and he stated that I would never get entirely rid of them 'unless I had them lanced and the core taken out. He operated ori them and I waa not bothered with any more until last fall, when one made its appearance. I came to the conclusion that my blood was out of order, and that the kidneys were not performing their functions right, and wnt to the Laue-Davls Drug Company's store and got a box of Dnan's Kidney Pills, taking them as directed, and they did all that was claimed for them. On previous occasions when one appeared It was followed by others, but Doan's Kidney Pills checked them. About two weeks ago one broke out on my arm and I again resorted to Doan's Kidney Pills, and they prevented others from appearing. I can cheerfully reoommend Doan's Kidney Pills, for I also know others who have used them with very satisfactory ' results. For sals by all dealers. Price (9 cents a box. Foster-Mllburn Co..
