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 .

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,

In several Instances master builders

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.

An earthquake of unusual severity
lasting five seconds occurred at that
hour. This is the first shock of any
consequence In five years and was not so
severe a shock as the one In 1898. It

Matthews Combination Has
Failed in Effort to Boss Port

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.

wun owigert and Adams, either for the
el ec.tlou .of. Swigert - or- Thomas , and
division of the patronage, but that their
advances were not met ; with favor.
Some profess to believe that this re-
ult was foreseen by the Matthews
ekment, which chose to wait until af

Widened before it made its final effort
Pease, Spencer and Willis are counted

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

vt-ry complicated and Say. they do not
care to hazard a prophecy of the out

judge Frazer Refuses to Lower

" Goes to Jail.- - -
"Chick" Houghton, twice convicted of
robbing Steve Balch, waa thla, morning
sentenced to serve five years In the state
penitentiary. 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.
Until yesterday, when Judge Frazer
announced his decision denying a new
trial to Houghton, the man had been at
liberty on ball In the sum of J1.B00
The defense stated that ball of $2,000 or
z,ouu couia oe. secured. . .
"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.
