The united strength of the , laborf unions In their industrial tight which is now being waged In Portland Is being brought to bear upon the strike of the laundry operators. All possible means at the command of the organized forces is centered today on that phase of the union difficulty.- Both ' the Pressmen s Union-and the Typographical Union have followed suit with the others and are today a solid unit with the rest of the city's organized labor In assisting the laundry workers. The pressmen and the "typos" "have arranged to levy assessments to afford such financial assistance as ' they are able to the strikers, and have also elded to fine any member caught patron Ixlng a non-union laundry. This - boy cott 1b to be a strict one, too, and the union leaders expect to attain a victory In a short while. . - The pressmen met, on Tuesday night and the strike question was the most Interesting measure for debate. After deciding to levy the fine upon members found guilty of patronizing; a scab siiop, ln thiTextlariatton"w'Iitch" rbllowedrit was utated that "If members of the union found It necessary to patronize a laun dry to go to. a Chinaman's place before giving any trade to the unfair places. If it is necessary to patronize a China man," continued the speaker, "give a yellow-skinned one the preference." Several of the striking unions held their regular meetings last night and thesituatlon of the labor difficulties was the only matter of Interest to be brought up. The electrical workers transacted nothing in the way of set-! fling' their difficulties. The carpenters; and joiners also held a session, but took no further steps towards ending their' strike. The "woodworkers accomplished . a grist of routine business. Tonight f mere . wju' ub seKHinns en snverai umer of the atriking organizations, but so far as known nothing of great import Is scheduled to come up. The general sit uation In every -union is progressing as favorably as could be desired. The only unions today with many unem ployed are the laundry workers and the painters. If good weather keeps up it is likely that nearly all of the painters will be at work soon. All of the' other unions have practically accomplished what they went out for in .the first Place. The bosses, (While making no formal con cessions to ttte unions, have --really agreed to the conditions- in an .nff-hand way. There is enough work in the city to keep practically all of he mesj-'ln those ttradtt organizations busy, Some of the union, leaders expec'to to see a settlement of the Industrial fight now. being waged .through a conciliation In all the departments where an element of conflict has existed. However, there are no signs of any Immediate results In this direction, for the task of Wing ing about peace .between the conserva tives and radicals la felt to be gjob of gigantic proportions and one" almost Impossible of accomplishment just now. In several Instances master builders and master painters are said to be mak ing overtures to the unions, but 4f such Is the case, both sides are keeping such alleged negotiations "strictly on the oulet. Such carpenters and painters as are at, work are laboring under fair con ditions, receiving I3.D0 per day, ana re fuse to Work on the same Job with a non-union man. As- a consequence there are very few idle men in those trades. It is claimed that no doubt exists as to a settlement between tne painters ana master painters within a very short time. The entire question has hinged on the union painters agreeing to work for no boss except one a member or tne association. This they have constantly refused to do, however, and some other method of reaching an amicable settle ment is -looked for. The plan adopted by the painters now is that they will not work with non-union men, and only under fair conditions, at a wage of- $3. SO per day. SAN FRANCISCO HAS A TREMBLER SAN FRANCISCO, June 11.

Matthews Combination Has Failed in Effort to Boss Port Board Thus Far, Mothers! Falling to effect a combination that would win. it Is believed the Jack Matt hews' political machine, which is striv ing to gain Complete control of the Port of Portland Commission, did not choose to show Its full strength at yesterday's session of the new board when balloting Jor president was con tinued, and it is not known whether there will be tangible developments when the meeting Is called at o'clock this afternoon. - The deadlock for the presidency re mained unbroken yesterday, Willis still receiving two votes, Thomas getting the same number and the, others being scat tering. It Is admitted the Matthews faction can control three, but indica tions tivlay are 'that the opposition is badly at outs with but small hope of getting together. It 1 claimed that : Drlscoll and Tlomas. membeVs' of . the new commis sion supposed to . represent organized 1-ibor. attempted to form a combination, wun owigert and Adams, either for the el ec.tlou .of.

Some profess to believe that this re- ult was foreseen by the Matthews ekment, which chose to wait until af tr the breach In the opposition had Widened before it made its final effort Pease, Spencer and Willis are counted upon as Matthews members and If Prlsctill can be won over to their side control will be secured. Even those who are carefully watch ing the political complexion, of the board and who wish te see the shop worn plans of the Mattliewsltes fail and cleanliness prevail admit the situation la vt-ry complicated and Say. they do not care to hazard a prophecy of the out come.

Notice 'of appeal to tha Supreme Court was taken. At the for mer trial Houghton was 'given eight years. -Counsel for the defense made a plea to the court to change Its views in regard to the amount of bail, charg ing that $3,500 under the clroumstances waa excessive, but Judge Fraser was Arm - and declared, the . amount .would have to stand. Houghton went to jail in default of . bonds, although - an at tempt Is being made to raise the amount required.

"He doesn't appear able to keep out of trouble, and ' I believe that jail la the proper 1 place for . him," said the court., "The defendant's old blind father and poor old mother have done all' in their power to keep him straight, but he has dissipated "nearly all their prop erty by.' hi waywardness, and when a man .is under sentence to Ave years- in the penitentiary th court, does. not be lieve the ball excessive." - Houghton demanded ' commitment' pa pers before he would consent to accom pany an officer to Jail.
