Holds Meeting I J: VX7 Wants to' Hive Federated Trades Support the Lewis and Clark Fair. President Beach Of the Board of Trad LU Dpolnt a oommltteo to Invito tho FV rated Trades Council to a confer- encVxt Monday, evening. An effort la on foot to have the latter reconsider ita recent action In tho matter of opposition to tho Lewi and Clark Fair and to see If It will not withdraw Its condemn torr resolutions. A committee la also to be appointed by President Beach to confer with the saw mill men, with the hops that these will finally conclude not to stand by their decision to decline to furnish lumber for local consumption. The Board of Trade by resolution opposes tho Initiative and referendum In relation to tho portage road matter and Us committee will look Into the opposition thereto. At last night'a meeting of the Board of Trade In the Chamber of Commerce the members pledged themselves to ex tend ail possible aid looking- to the set tlement of the present labor troubles. In the resolutions Inviting the Feder ated Trades Council to participate In a conference next Monday night, after re citing the great benefits to be derived by.ie citlsens of the city and State ZJPTn the Lewis and Clark Fair and the clara t Ion that opposition was unfair at this time, appears the following: Zs TTnJoa tillable. Whereas, In tlia opinion of this board areolutlon asking the members of the labor unions to burn down the public buildings of this city would be quite' as justifiable, and Whereas, Up to the .present time this board has sympathized with and tried to assist the labor unions of this city In their efforts to better the condition of their members, even, as In the troubles of last year, to the extent of bringing censure upon this board from many business men of Portland; be it Resolved, That the 'Portland Board of Trade withdraw all sympathy from the Federated Trade Council and request all fair-minded citizens to also withdraw their sympathy and support from said Federated Trades Council until such time as the resolution above referred to be rescinded. There was a great deal of discussion, more or less heated, : before the resolu tions were finally settled upon. Mr. Marshall was particularly emphatic In his denunciation of the Federated Trades .Assembly for Its recent resolutions against the Fair proect. As a union man himself and an employer of union labor he spoke, yet he declared: "I can not express my disgust at the methods of the labor leaders who foisted upon the Federated Trades Assembly the resolution placing them in- the position of opposing the Lewis and Clark 'Fair." An entirely opposite view was enter tained by Judge Seneca Smith. He thought the board's resolutions would tend to excite enmity, ami would per haps relegate the possibility of an ami cable adjustment of differences to a re mote future. Indeed, If It did not make such settlement Impossible. The several members in the discussion ranged them selves on. opposite, sides and the ques tion at issue got as warm a turning over as possible, before the resolutions finally went through. Portage Koad Resolutions. Tho portage railroad resolutions in aubstance showed the -following: That tne recent Legislature, in pass ing the bill providing for the construc tion of the read at Cclilo, had already expressed the sentiments of the people; that the Invocation of the referendum to oppose the matter was In defiance thereof; that to defeat this plan would deal a severe blow to the commercial Interests of the InlaYld Empire; that there Is no reason for such opposition nor for delay in the construction of the line; that such opposition is selfish and actuated by antagonistic Interests. The resolutions emphatically endorsed the enterprise, "believing in the widest ostiible scope for competition in trans lation. Members were asked to fhhold their signatures from the petl- tis now in- circulation in opposition to the measure. The appointment of a committee to "lay bare the animus" of the. opposition was decided upon, the membership of which will be announced later.

By great in dustry their business agents had made full arrangements - to reoelvo large quantities of lumber from outside points. Tho material has arrived, both of the rough and finished variety, but many of the independent contractors, ac cording to.O. W. Pierce, are opposed to its ifa ror rear mat tney win gain en mity of the Mlllmen's Association, which would prove disastrous to them after the labor troubles are adjusted. In other words if they buy lumber which Is provided by the unions, they are of the opinion that tne association will boycott them and sell them no lum ber In the future. Pear tho Millmen, This Is one very serious difficulty that we are meeting with now," said Mr. Pierce this morning, "but I do not believe this state of affairs will last for any great length of time. When the Independent contractors become thoroughly convinced that we Intend to remain permanently In the business of supplying lumber, I think they will not hesitate to buy from us. At present the association has many of them pretty badly frightened and they are slow to do anything which might excite the ani mosity of the trust We are now getting kiln dried lumber and every other kind that Is carried by the Portland mills, and If people will buy it. we will soon have the building operations of the city assuming their old-time activity. Some of the small contractors and quite a number of own ers are patronizing us. but not to such an extent as we would wish. We are undoubtedly up against a hard fight, but we are In the right and are bound to win." Will Hot Close Plants. Planing mill men vigorously deny that there Is sny likelihood of their plante being shut down In the near future. They state that such a report is abso lutely false, and without any founda tion whatever. They further allege that they have orders enough ahead to keep them running Indefinitely. Manager Neppach, of the Nlcolal mui, said: It is a lie, pure and simple. No uch action has been considered. We have plenty of work to keep us going. nd Intend to run. Manager Jackson, of the North Pacific mill, had the following to say: We have no Intention of closing down, and there Is nothing In the report at all. The extensive outside trade which we enjoy will keep us busy, and we do not have to depend upon the local market." "Have your employes, as a union, asked for an increase In wages?" "No. One of our men now and then asks for an Increase, but the union has nothing to do with It." The Painters. J. C.

Mr. Shields made the journey to the Puget Sound city for tho purpose of making final arrange ments for his vaudeville entertainments at that place. Seattle, as well as Ta coma. Is Included in his circuit, and some wag at the Rainier Grand Hotel started the report that Mr. Shields want ed to engago the services of about 10 Slwashcs to do stunts In his park at tractions. Last Friday morning Mr. Shields appeared in the rotunda of the hotel and was told by a clerk that sev eral show people had been waiting for several hours to sign with him. Not being Wise to tho Joke ho asked where they were and was directed to look Into the street. There had gathered along the curbstone on First avenue, nearly So as nonde script a looking lot of aborigines as ever appeared In town. There were old wo men and young girls, old bucks and boys. To have a little luugh on the vaudevlllo manager, some friends or enemies had gone about town and caused to gather at the hotel every Indian, that could be found, making it known to them that they were wanted for a Wild West at traction. It happened that many 81- ! washes were In the city selling baskets. However, friends of Mr. Shields In Port- I land say that Seattle always hns a lot ! of Indians. j It Is said that the mnnnger gnv? ouch man, woman and child a dime npk-ce and told them that there was "nothing ' doing."

Denver Post People generally are given to "won dering things'' whore stage folks are concerned. They wonder whether they are married or single, what their really truly names are, where they come from arid what their nationality happens to be; how old they are and how they came to adopt a stage career, whether they ever had the measles, and whether their vaccination took. Thousands have wondered why Vir ginia Harned, when she married E. H. Sothern, did ncjt change her name on the bilj 'boards as. well as on the marriage license. Iast week Virginia explained. - "It is because, my dear friend." she told the last inquirer. "I do not wish to be known as a railroad. I have trouble enough now." "A railroad?" queried the friend.

"I have not been in the city long enough," said Mr. Skemp this morning, "to acquaint myself thoroughly with the local situation. I shall put forth every effort, however, to bring both sides to gether Just as quickly as possible. It Is my Intention to call upon the master painters today" and ascertain Just where they stand in regard to the dif ficulty." Tsvors Arbitration. "Are you In favor of arbitration V "Yes; I believe in that and yearly agreements." "Would you be willing to have the union sign an agreement to the effect that the members would refuse to walk off a building in the event that a non union carpenter, for Instance, should be employed there?" "I would oppose the signing of ouch an agreement, because if that idea should be carried out it would mean tho death of unionism. .When an em ployer asks us to do that he is vir tually asking us to renounce our alleg iance to union principles. If it should be granted our organisation would aoon go to pieces, and wo would be at the mercy of the associations. I believe in the principle of organisation and am glad to see the employers forming; as sociations. A body of men Is consid erably easier to deal witu than an in dividual. When you reaoh an under standing with the associations, the mat ter is ended, but It Is far different when dealing with Individuals." At the meeting of the Building Trades Council last evening, a committee of three was appointed to confer with the master painters and builders and re quest them to appoint a similar com mittee, the six men fhus selected to choose an arbitration board.

These cars, which are designed by M. Serpollet, run on the rails of the com pany and are therefore i.ot amenable to speed rules. With u clear track they can make 93 miles an hour or 76 miles on up grades. The cars will weiKh 32 tons each, but as the weight of an ordinary Euro pean locomotive Is 94 tons, there is an enormous saving in wear and tear on the rails. The cars were designed with a view to lessen wind resistance: their sides will be flat and have no projections and tho ends will be pointed. The railway world is Interested in this development, and M.

May 4 The dedica tion of St. Joseph's Catholic. Church In this city yesterday was made memorable by the presence of M-nsigneur-Dlomede Faleonlo. head of the Catholic Church in America. Archbishop Montgomery as sisted In the masses and dedicatory serv ices. So great "a crowd attended the ceremonies that thousands were unable to gain admittance. The facts given below are worth a pe rusal by all who are anxious atj'out their physical condition or are similarly situ ated to the resident of Portland. It Is a local occurrence and can bo thoroughly investigated. Mrs. J. Jenkins, residing nt 315 East Sixth street, wife of J. Jenkins, retired, says: "An ltchinp and Irritated spot on one of my ears annoyed me for some time. It spread, grew tender and I be came uneasy about It. for It resisted all my efforts to cheek it. although I used more than one salve and ointment. My husband brought home a box of Hoan's Ointment, which ho got at the Lnue-Davls Drug Co.'s store, and urged me to try It. One application soothed, and after a few more the Itching and in flammation disappeared entirely.

Mrs. Edyth Toaier Weatherred r-- i turned yesterday from a trip through j Eastern Oregon, where she went In tho Interests of the woman's department of the Lewis and Clark Centennial. Mrs. Weatherred said: "I never saw such earnestness as that with which the women of Eastern Oregon have taken hold of the work. The most prominent ; of club, lodge and church members has ten to Join the throng. Each department when assigned their duties at once begin pleasing plans. The educational, art, music, domestic, his torical, reception and other committees at once grasp the respective importance of each, and many are surprised to learn of how much the women outside of Portland can do to aid the Fair before and after its opening." Mrs. Weatherred Is thoroughly ac quainted with the many details of ex position work and wherever she hum gone the ladles are delighted to grasp the many Interesting plans assigned . them. Mrs. Weatherred has received several , letters from the southern part of the j State asking that she come-and instruct : them what to do. Some Seem to think I the Eastern Oregon ladles ahead of them j on general work. "There Is no danger j bUH what they will all have an equal I opportunity," said Mrs. Weatherred, "for at the . gathering here May 20, a - sys tematic plan will be given. Then, too.
