The trouble arose o-r the fart that " the sign writer went to the starting place of the 4 parade in conveyances driven by nonunion irlvcr. They claim ' that this was unavoidable, ga. account . nt the fact that th ha k urlvero of . Portland have no union and therefore ;it waa impossible o secure union driver. But the teamsters' union resented . the presence In the parade of any non- i tinlon men. and, according to the state ment of the secretary of the sign 1 wrltora' union, ,W. H. mevln. pro reeded to tear down the signs and dec orations which had been placed on the norees and hack. The sign wrltere wanted to fight, but being few In number while the teamsters were many, were unable to ' do anything. They accordingly left the parade and went back to the office of the Portland Sign company where a formal meeting was held and the union ' resolved to disband?' refusing to be longer'-associated with any affiliation ' of whloh the teamsters' union is a part The aign writers were not the only one who had trouble on the same ac- count. Several of the other unions had non-union drivers and were compelled by the lea maters to discharge them. As a result tnrre were several uim represented at all in" the paraie, while ethers that hart started out with sev eral hacks and tailyhoea were "bilged to dlscharao most of them and were rep resented bv a single conveyance. And on top of all this, the teamster union Itself finally refused to parade because tlture still remained a few non union drivers In the procession. The Cooks end Walters' union was not rep resented in the parade, and mere waa only olio carrl.igi representing the leather workers. W. H.
