" iAi a "reeult of the trouble, hie sign
.writers' unloa hue disbanded and re-
J fuses henceforth t have anything to
do with organised labor.
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. JtlevhtH. secretary of Sign Writ
ers' loral union No. t), ma the fol
lowing statement this afternoon con
cerning the. trouble:
"friends of organised labor will regret
to learn tbt Sign Writers' local union
No. Sit of i'ortlmxl raulu to an untime

havlne been nnslrned a position In the
parade, proceeded In hacks to the pluce
of formation, where they were attached
by the teamsters' ' union, the signs torn
from the horses and carriages and were
forced to stay out or mo parade on ac
count of the drivers not being members
of the teamsters' union.
"There Is no hackdrlvers' union In
Portland and the sign writers as rea
sonable men stood by their drivers and
concluded they would rather be unor
ganized than be domineered by any un
reasonable element in tne ranks or or
ganised labor who saw nt to take ad
vantage because or their numbers.
"A meeting was held at the shop of
the Portland Sign company after tho
parade had started, where it was agreed
to msoana.
