paid off. Borne of them came from the

sailed from Ban Francisco. They called
.on French Consul Labbe this morning

concerning conditions In tbe far north

The Berlin goes to Bristol bay every

'elation and returns In the fall with the
catch, prepared In cane and eases ready
for shipment east and to Europe. The
vessel also takes the fishermen and can
nery hands north, the latter being
: chiefly Chinese. On her last trip north
the Berlin bad n milch cow and several
live, hogs on board, Tbe bogs were
brought along for -the Chinese, who
would not think of leaving -their sup

A story of an amastngly audacious
swindle comes from Madrid, Spain. Tha

women, who, the other day,' visited a
specialist In mental diseases on behalf
of her husband, who, sha said, was a
sufferer from religious mania. Having
explained the ease. It was arranged that
shs should return In about an hour with
the afflicted husband.
The next scene of action was a Jew
eler's shop In another part of the city)
where she selected : diamonds ' to the
value of 11,000 on - tha understanding
that shs would buy them If her husbsnd
approved, Would " someone accompany
her home In a cab, and tha money wou.13
be paid Immediately? A trusted clerk
was sent, and with him the lady drove
back to tbe doctor's bouso. In an ante
room she took tbe stones "Just to show
them to her husbsnd"; then, entering
with sublime assurance the doctor's
study, she Informed tha specialist that
her husband was now In the ante-room
and ready to be examined.
Leaving a visiting card, ths lady took
her departure, and the doctor; bidding
the supposed patient enter, proceeded at
his leisure to ask professional question!.
Tha Jeweler's man was pussled at first,
but soon he realised that be had been
made tbe victim of a clever fraud, . The
doctor, however, interpreted his agita
tion caused by his complaint, and
when after two hours matters were
finally eJrplalned the lady Impostor had
vanished with her spoils without leaving
any trace. ' - -

that It would ever assume ths propor

A. r. Of Z Keeps Sands Of.
There Is littls likelihood that the
strikers will be backed by tha Portland
Federated Trades , council, or by tba
unions sfftllstd with the American
Federation of Labor generally. While
members, of the Carpenters union de
clare that they will put the sawmills on
tha unfair list. If requested to do so
by the Industrial Workers of ths World,
members of other crafts are, aa a rule,
lukewarm. ' The Longshoremen's union,
which wsa expected to refuse to load
lumber from the mills eonoerned. voted
last night to keep strictly out of ths
controversy.
' "The Industrial Workers of tha World
are - not affiliated with ." explained
Secretary Hall of the Longshoremen's
union this morning. .They belong to a
different organisation altogether, and
we do not feel that they are entitled to
our support." i . , o,,' ' '
. Fight Own Battle, i
Speaking for tha Federated Trades
council. Secretary P. McDonald, of that
body, said this morning:
The strlks will undoubtedly bo dis
cussed at the regular meeting tonight,
but I am sure no action .will ba taken.
The Industrial Workers of tbe World
Is organised on a different basis from
the -. American - Federation of loct.
What la more. It - oame Into tha field
with tha avowed purpose of supplanting
tha American Federation of Labor, and
It will have to fight Its own battles.
On tbe other hand, tha trades council
will certainly not take an attitude of
hostility toward tba strikers. It would
not send men to take their places, nor
would It allow any of Ita members-to
take the Jobs of tha men who are on
strike."
