A strike In Portland would affect about 120 men employed here In the different Iron foundries.

The man appeared at a house on ths corner of Nineteenth and Washington streets this morning and the housewlfs, whose name was not given. Immediately suspected the character of the alms so lioi tor and asked Captain ; John D. .... ..

And ars always pro vided' with proper credentials so that no uncertainty mar be noaslble If thosa solicited will take the necessary pre--) caution to examine Closely into the au thortty oi the person soliciting.

One of the biggest masquerades ever given in the city will take place at the Oaks skating rink tomorrow night A ghost party Is new In this locality, but In eastern sections, where they have been held they have proved to be great entertainers. On this occasion most of the skaters use a sheet and pillow oase for a mask, a simple and cheap garb that affords a complete mask and gives a pretty and weird effect. A special electrical effect also makes the skat ers more ghostly. The masquers are not confined to this one style of mask ing, as prizes will be given for all kinds of characters and face masks can be purchased at the rink. This masque rade will be Interesting to spectators as well as maskers, and the grand march will be a pretty sight The beginners' clasa continues to grow, and every day competent instruct ors are added.

In 'a statement mads to ThejQurns.l,.,4akes Issue with P. Mo Donald, editor -hf the Labor Press, who haa alleged that Mr. Hatch had turned from the support of John B. Coffey for mayor to Thomas C Devlin for a. con sideration. In his statement Mr. Hatch brands as absolutely false any such allegation and grills McDonald In the bargain. "People who know MoDonald do not believe that he would resent ths offer of a bribe with any great Indignation." said Mr. Hatoh in discussing the story that McDonald had refused an offer of 86,000 to turn from Coffey to Devlin and that members of the Freight Han dlers' union had received money to change their Ideas. . "I did state In our union that I had some suspicions of Mr. Coffey, that I feared his intimacy with W. E. Burke," continued Mr. Hatch. "When Mo Donald says that I spoke disparagingly of Mr. Devlin at a meeting In March he says what Is absolutely untrue. He appears to bs a man who cannot con ceive of a man acting Independently and honestly; a man who has no moral principle or integrity. He apparently realizes that he Is losing his influence with the laboring people and seeks to regain It by detecting fraud where no fraud exists. "I believe In ths workmen sad am with them. Their Interests and trials are mine. I believe that the recognition of the labor unions will work for the betterment of society, but I believe that If we as laboring men are ever to com mand our own self-respect and that of the general public we roust come out from under the Influence and control of such men as ths editor of ths Labor Press. "I do not know Mr. Devlin person ally "and have never been approached by anyone in his Interest I have noth ing to gain -or lose by the election or defeat of any candidate, but I am a native of Oregon and I hope to aee the city of Portland the greatest and clean est and the most beautiful city in Jthe land."
