( : TO FIGHT TO FINISH Carpenters Angered and Will Call Out ; All Men Working for the' Association. Will Not Attempt to Arbitrate Busi ness Organizations to Take - Action at Once. the first time since the Inaugura tion. Of the Painters' strike organised , labor tar thoroughly united on to prop eettlew ef carrying on an aggressive campaign. There la to be no quarter hewn -or half-way' measures pursued. Word liar been aent all along the line that a, great principle la Involved, and 'that rlctory must be won at any ooat Before f o'clock tonight it la be ; llered that every union carpenter In 1 the employ of a member of the Master Builders' Aaaoolatlon will be called out. . It la barely possible that this actios , will not be taken befors Tuesday. ' Some are tn favor of waiting until the Bulld ' ' tag Trades Council meets Monday night . and ., gives "Its- official aanctlon to the natter. But other, and they appear to. be in the. majority, are urging im mediate action, and they will probably be sueceaaful in winning their point. The Carpenters Union had a rousing i meeting ' last I night Its members de cided. - by unanimous vote sot to work . fos airy member of the assocaatloa until full recognition of the union Is granted, and to call out alt those who are now so employed. . They were in favor of carry ing out the sentiments- of the meeting this , morning. This means that prdb . ably 100 mora aaeaj will lay down their , tools and wait for a settlement of the . trouble. STow la Sanest. ; "We .have Just begun to fight," say the carpenters. "If the master asso , elatlons imagine they hate us whlppea they are making a fatal mistake. Here tofore we have not been very firm in our -stand,' hoping that some settlement would soon be reached. ' But- the asso ciations have refused to arbitrate, or to . accept any other proposition tending to bring about an amicable understanding with their employe Their evasive tac tic at the conference Thursday after noo tv .make all further steps toward ' settling the -difficulties along this line Impossible We oan say with them with equal emphasis that the time for arbi tration. Is past When they paid the rate of wages asked we worked for them, but we Intend to do so no longer. Now, let them sea If they can get non union dec ha nice to corns here and take .our places. In. every other city along . the Coast wages are t3.lv per day for carpenters, and no on is going to be -so foolish as to coma,-to Portland to work for U. They will be unable to gt any competent mechanics." . . From the start the painters have put tip an aggressive fight but the carpen ters were more conservative. In fact the latter did not go on a strike, but . worked for anyone who Would pay the scale of wages asked. But now. they stats that that time has passed. By the action of the mlllownera in refus ing to self lumber , to anyone but mem bers of the association, they claim that they are practically locked out Of course, they could still work, they ex plain, if they were willing to bo em ployed: by the association men, but this course ie now owt of the1 question. Tbs carpenter are determined te wis, and since there are almost 1.000 of them In the city they are going to be able to put up a fight cf no small consequence. Of course many of them will have perma nent employment with some of the -small contractors wlie Uva signed an .agree ment with to union. Many of these con tractors, heretofore, have- been greatly embaraasod In getting' lumber and still are to certaltt-extent, but U Is now com ing In in considerable quantities from outside points. Aa soon as the union car penter' are pulled oft the Jobs which the association., controls it la believed that the mlllowners will again restrict the local supply of lumber to ths very lowest ' possible point During the past few weeks union men have worked for all members of the as sociation, they explain, who paid the wages .asked, but this policy will no longer be pursued. Their action, they aver, will therefore have the effect of practically tielng up the building opera tions of ths city. Standing Together. The painters will also Join hands with the carpenters, ss well as sll the other unions connected witn the Building Trades Council, and use every effort to win ths big struggle, which they say Is Just beginning. All of them will get weekly benefit dues from their re spective International organisations, and if need be, stats that they can remain idle Indefinitely. 1 J. C Skemp, third-vice-president of the Brotherhood of Painters, left for Seat tle last evening, to remain a few days. He advised the union he represents to go into ths contracting business as much as possible and also to asslat the fair flrma. The president of the International union is now In 8an Francisco and Is expected to arrive here in a few days.

Assistant Secretary Mos essohn of the Chamber of Commerce re ports that both orranlrationa.Jiaiia ap pointed a committee of two and these four are to choose a" fifth, for the purpose of devising some means to settle the strike.

"The missing brother bore an excellent reputation wherever known, and was apparently a hard-working and honest man. I ara Inclined to the belief that he has been murdered and robbed." When the missing man left the Depot Hotel he was attired lh a black worsted suit of clothes and soft black hat and black shoes. He is described as a man of medium build, five feet six inches in height and weighs 147 pounds. James M. McReynolds, father of the two boys, still lives In Galena. Kan. He, was chief of police of . that city for seven years. Kelley of Savannah. Bishop McQuade of Rochester, and Bishop Vanssen of Belle ville, Ills. Bishop Chatard was born In Baltimore In 1834. . He Is of French descent, though his maternal grandmother was Irish. His mother was born In the Isle of Martinique. He was educated at the College of Mount St. Mary, Emmets burgv Md., where he was noted as a diligent student, graduating in 1863. He adopted the profession of medicine, but had no sooner finished his medical course than he felt that he waa called upon to qualify himself to enter the priesthood of the Roman Catholic Church. He at once entered upon the work of preparation, and soon .crossing the At lantic, proceeded to Rome, where he entered the Urban College in 1857. At the end of six years of study he read a public thesis, which brought to him the degree of doctor of divinity. Soon after this his merit as a scholar was recog nized by his appointment aa vice-rector of the American College at Rome. On the elevation of the rector, the Rt. Rev Dr. McCloskey, to the bishopric of Louisville, Dr. Chatard was made rector. 'This office he ably filled for 10 years. As a resident of Rome and ths eccles iastical head of a great educational In stitution, his influence was, wide, and his labors in every good cause were untiring. His work during the Vatican Council, in 1868, was especially recog nised by Pope Plus I. who, as a token of appreciation, presented him a gold medal. In 187S Dr. Chataiyl visited the United States on a mission to collect money for the support of the American College. On his -return to Rome he was notified of his appointment as bishop of the dlo coae of Vlncennes and was consecrated to that high office In Rome on May II, 1878. He arrived In Indianapolis In August of the same year, From the first he made this city the seat of ths diocese, but the name of the see was not changed from Vlncennes to Indian apolis until 1898. and the fact-that so much wheat Is hauled that way new is because the O- R. & N. Company sees fit. it is said, to maintain present rates rather than start jl. war. and risk: dangerous inroads pn their territory at other points. Completion of the PortBRe Road then, in the optnidn '- ef prominent railroad men, would force the Northern Pacific to build down - the north bank of the Columbia. This outlet Is the only pos sible one, It la urged, and the fact that Northern Pacific 'Surveyors have already run lines down the Columbia as far as the mouth of the river. Is Indisputable proof that the'-oompetlng Northern line is preparing - for the Inevitable. Northern Pacific's Position. Should the mountain routes to the Sound have to be abandoned by the Northern Pacific, the construction of a line down the river will give President Mellen's road a position not Inferior to cause it is better ro let well enough alone. The O. R. & N. has the business now. and Is willing to let the other roads climb the mountains to Puget Sound ports, and Is willing to keep the rates high enough to enable them to do so." Great Benefit to State. In any event the opening of the Port age Road would prove of great benefit to the grain producers of the State. In Sherman County alone, which Is tapped by the Columbia Southern, in raised one sixth of the wheat of the entire 8tate. Adjacent to the feeder is a great wheat country, every part of which would be directly benefited by the lower rates. The same may be said of the territory tributary to the 'Columbia River in Washington. At present. It costs 13.80 a ton to ship wheat from Rltsvllle, Wash., to the Sound, and a ton to ship It to the same ports from the Da kotos.

Mr. BrVinlck charged that Mr. John ston was Offered money by a member of the Seattle company that la trying to dispose of the Hamill. it lie would present a favorable report. v General Beebe was quoted as authority and that gentleman explained that ha had fieen so Informed by a riverman whose name he Was not at liberty to give Expert BalUs Explains. Mr. Ballln. engineering, expert, de fended the Hamill and stated, that she was a good craft, strongly built with double hull, and said if she had new boilers she would be entirely suitable for a flreboat, ana that there were but a few places in the port she could not easily reach. These, ha said, could be cheaply dredged out to the required depth. He believed that the twin screw type of boat, like the Hamill, waa bet ter than a stern wheeler. x Mr. Ball, a civil and marine engineer, followed and argued that the Hamill could be made to do without boiler cnanges. in a- technical way he ex plained the process by which the boil ers could be made to. work the DumtJs. and closed by saying that for $40,000, Including the purchase pnee. the Hamill could be made into an entirely satis factory boat. Mr. Gllsan said that, although he was no expert, to him ths Hamill looked like an excellent boat and that when Con sidering the matter of her purchase he had not believed the city was looking for a boat that would walk sand bars or crawl under wharves. Mr. Boise followed by stating that from a newspaper story he had become convinced (hat the Hamill was responsi ble for the bankruptcy of the cannery company and breathed his relief that she was not as destructive a Jonah as was reported. - The question of the bribe was then referred to by Mr. MacMaster. who dwelt on Jhe fact that the receivers were engaged in interests aggregating mil lions and that It . was unlikely they would bribe or try to bribe for a mere tug's sale. After this defense tha mat ter of the flreboat purchase was reforred back to the committee with instructions to report to the Mayor when a special board meeting should be called for ths consideration of the entire question.
