That B. H. Harrtman and his asso

rent In the last year of hla buying thla
railroad and that the list has Included
the -Santa Fe. the Illinois Central, the
Milwaukee, the Northwestern, the Al-

Pacific party haa actually secured the

What haa been paid by the purchasers
for these stocks Is not known by any
body excepting Hnrrims'n and nls Inti
mates.. Neither la It clear where the
money came from. But nobody has any
adequate idea of the amount of money
that the Harrlman crowd controls from
the revenues and assets of companies
in which they are the dominant Influ
ence. They have the call on all the
aourcea of the Pacific railroads . under
Hartiman's management, the Wells
Fargo Kxpress company, the Pacific
Mall Steamahlp company, and the' big
life insurance Companies with their af
filiated trust companlea. Thla la the
foundation on which Harrltnan haa built
Ms colossal railroad structure which
now spans the American continent with
one unbroken chain, welded by those
long-headed German-Jewish bankers,
Loeb a Co., and Jscob Schlff. Whether
the Rockefeller Interests are atlll allied
with the Harrlman party la a question
that admits of much doubt. The action
of the Milwaukee stockholder last
week In refusing to submit to the Har
rlman plan and voting a stock Increase
of $76.0000.000 to not only push forwsrd
Its Pacific coast' extension, but shoot
out tn arm southward Into California
territory, haa furnished strong evidence
of a break In that quarter.
Mr. Harriman'a Idea of taking over
the B. A O. waa not a recent Impulse; It
la said, but one of years of deliberation
and manipulation. He had hla eye on
the property 10 years ago. but had the
business sense to await the psycholog

his Western Pacific, and when the time
came to forestall the letter's ocean-to-ocean
project Harrlman pushed forward
his plan to acquire ready-made links

equipment, because It haa antedated him
from one end to the ether and haa . the

It Is said' many of the financiers on
the Inside are. pussled to understand
how Harrlman succeeded in wheedling
the Pennsylvania Railroad company out
of the bulk of ita B. a O. stock hold
ings. It seems that the Pennsylvania
simply "needed the money." to carry
cn Its enormous Improvement plane In
New York, and found the easiest way
In realising on Its B. a O. stock, st the
same time btndlng Harrlman with an
iron-clad agreement that would safe
guard the Pennsylvania company's
traffic Interests. According to the of
ficial manuals, the Pennsylvania, on
January 1, owned in Its own name ll,
000,000 of B. a O. stock, while M,0v0,
000 more stood tn the names of Its
subsidiary companlea. Last spring the

HELP FROM All OVER WORLD
Striking Grainhandlers Say Longshoremen
of Other Countries Will Not Unload the
Cargo Loaded Here by "Scabs"
The striking gratnhandlera of this
olty are not only counting on the back
ing of the longshoremen of Portland,
but they are supremely confident of the
support of the longshoremen of all tha
world as well. If the grain exporters
do sucoeed In loading the ehlpa now la
tbs harbor with nonunion labor, when
they reach their deatlnatlon the union
longahoremen on the other aide of the
water will refuse to unload them and
the troubles of the exporters will be
greater than ever.
This la a prediction made today by
J. A. taadaen, ninth vice-president of
toe Dongshoremen s International, by
Oscar Melby, business agent of the
Longshoremen's Union No. til and by
D. P. Hall, secretary of Ixtmrshoremep's
Union No. 216.
The body of men known aa long
shoremen are credited With being one
of the best organised bodies of work
men In their World. Their interna
tional organisation extenda to all coun
tries and the longahoremen of every
leading port In civilised countries are
said to jelong to the union. The grain
ships now In the Portland harbor wait
ing to be loaded will carry their cargo
to European ports. According to Sec re
tray Hall. In tlmea paat the longahore
men of Europe have been called upon
by tha longshoremen of America to aid
them in case of a strike, and the for
mer hsvrf complied with as much alac
rity aa If they both lived under the
same flag and no ocean lay between.
Oo sanitation Covers Case.
The fact Is. there Is a provision tn
the constitution of the Longstoremen's
International providing for Juet such a
situation as the cne which confronts ths
Portland strikers. It provides that In
case wheat le loaded on tble elde by
"scab" labor the longahoremen on the
other aide of the weter must refuse to
do the unloading until auch time as tha
owners of the cargo sbaU pay a atated
line into the treasury of the union. Thla
fine varies with the shipment, but Sec
retary Hall stated today that It Is large
enough to 'more than cover the differ
ence between the wages paid the non
union men and the wages that would
bars been paid the union men had the
latter done the loading.
"We do not want to go any farther
than we have to," said J. A. Madsen.
"We have conducted thla strike In an
orderly and peaoeable manner and we
are glad of It Further than that, wa
want to aettle thla thing without caus
ing any hard feelinga. If possible. But
If we have to put up a more vigorous
fight we will certainly do It. For one
thing. If the exporters do succeed In
loading these ships here It will be up to
us to say whether or not they ore un
loaded on the other side. We hope that
It will not go that far, but If It does,
the longahoremen In Europe will stand

What "Other Cards" ate.
The "other cards" mentioned by the
union o (fleer undoubtedly spells 'Water
front Federation." It haa already been
authoritatively atated that the steve
dores (Longshoremen No. IM) and the
teamsters were preparing to walk out In
sympathy With the grainhandlers, but
there is still another union affiliated
with the Waterfront Federation which
could appreciably annoy tha exporters
by quitting woffc. Thla anion consists
of the riggers, liners, ship cleaners and
shp painters. Besides, there are the
Tacoana grainhandlers, who have de
manded a raise of wagss and who are
expected to atrlke within a very few
daya.
It la agreed that the oriels In the
waterfront strike will arrive when the
grain ahlpe are taady to receive their
cargo.
Thla crisis was expected to arrive to
morrow, but there will he further delay
of from one day to a week. The etrlk
ers were saying today that the export
ers are purposely delaying the prepara
tion of the ships In order to avoid the
lssus aa long aa possible. The British
ship Allerton has been moored to the
Oceanic dock end Brown at McCabe, the
stevedoring firm, say that ehe will be
ready to load on Wednesday. Tha ahlp
Nerelde la being lined and ahould be
ready on the same day. When thla time
comes, the unionists predict that the
stevedores and teamsters, snd possibly
the riggers, liners, cleaners and paint
era, wlU atrlke, that ..ie ship captains
will refuse to allow the loading to be
done by Inexperienced handa, and that
the exporters may then begin to again
consider the. advisability of coming to
terms with the strikers.
"Double-barreled scabs" la a term In
vented yesterday by some Ingenious
Striker to apply to a dosen nonunion
grainhandlers who worked the steamer
Spencer on an excursion trip up the
Columbia In order to give their em
ployes an outing yesterday, the ex
porters chartered the Sponsor for an
excursion trip. But when the strike
breakers came on board the crew of 10
men. though they ere members of no
union, refused to work the vessel. It
looked as If ths excurelon would have
to be postponed until a number of the
excursionists volunteered to take the
places of the crew. It waa finally ar
ranged In thfa way. The new crew
therefore worked aa strikebreakers In
two different ways at the Saras time
and In this way earned the appellation
of "double-barreled scabs."
This morning the Speneer went on
her regular trip up ths river with an
entirely new crew.

"Larry" Loses Suit
Against Mining Rec

Seems to Have Fallen Into Bad
Company and Met Disaster In
Connection With Hie Trust
Company Formed at Goldfield,
Nevada.
Larry M. Sullivan, who used to bo
well known In Portland, and who Is still
well remembered, has met with disaster
la a suit which he and hla associate,
O. Q. Rice, and their corporation, the
I M. Sullivan Trust company of Gold

Dally Mining Record of Denver.
Abeejc the middle of September, the
Record published a card on Its front
page la which It atated that the deal
ings of Sullivan and Rice, through the
Trust company, were not on the square,
and that the unwary were being enticed
into buying worthless mining stock at
fancy figures with no p respect of re
turn. It waa also hlated that Mr. Rice
haa left his real name and an unsavory
record behind him In New York. New
Orleans, San Francisco and various
Other places In which he had resided
temporarily.
Aggrieved at this unkind publicity,
the mining gentlemen got out an In
junction against the Record and asked
at the same time that they be given
150,000 as a salve for their wounded
feelings and damaged reputations. Ths
suit wss filed in the district court of
Denver and a temporary restraining or
der waa issued prohibiting the paper
from publishing anything about the
plaintiffs, "defamatory or otherwise."
