"No place Is so beautiful as Port
land," said Dr. William Hiram Foulkes,
pastor of the First Presbyterian church,
this morning.
Dr. Foulkes had returned from see
ing most of the earth. He had been In
ngtand, Germany and Italy, and had
seen the beautiful spots of the world,
the places that are famous historically
and scenloally, and his assertion that
Portland ', was most beautiful of all
seemed to have emphasized sincerity,
from the extent of his travels.
There was no Incident of my ; trip
more pleasant than addressing my own
people again yesterday," said j Dr;
Foulkes, 'continuing a brief conversa
tion., "Portland is the 'homiest' ' city
on the face of the -earth. The welcome
rocelved did me good all over. :
H tninit. i snau stay until i go to
attend a committee - meeting; that con
venes well, I will not say when, for I
don't want the Idea of a good-bye' to
get Into either tny mind or that of my
perple for 8) long time to come."
Dr. joujKes.i accompanied by u. .
Wonacott of the Y. M. C A. and Rev.
Henry Marcotte, pastotr of the West
minster Presbyterian church, left Fort-
land two months ago to attend the M
tlonal Presbyterian assembly. In this

part "At its close they made a tour oH

Isador Lang Makes Statement
for Lang & Co. in Which He
Explains : His Relations to
the Teamsters' Strike.
Portland, Or., July 15. To the Editor
of The Journalr-Upon my return from
camp in mountains, where I have ben
since "Friday-of lBRt; week, I was shown
a copy of the Sunday Oregonlan of yes
terday, wherein a statement appeared,
relative to 1 attacks said to have been
made, by men In the employ of Lang
& Co. against strikebreaking teamsters.
Fairness to the public, ourselves and our
drivers demands that the facts be pub
lished with reference to the statement
contained in the Oregqnlan article.
, Friday afternoon a policeman entered
our- offlca.and complained that a brick
had heen thrown at ,a atrlkebreaking
teamster from a Tear window of the
second atory of the Burnside street
side of our building, stating that he saw
the brick coming from the direction of
the window", but did not see the person
throwing it, I Immediately started an
investigation in an endeavor to find the
guilty person, but as the -officer could
not recognize any ; person,, my efforts
were without direct success. However,
as suspicion seemed to rest on certain
employes of our house, we immediately
discharged such employes from our ser
vice, f
, Employe Ss Warned. , v.
The article in the Oregonlan attempt
ed to give specific instances of other
overt, acts, but no complaint has been
made to us of any such acts, and upon
a. thorough investigation conducted by
us we have Jailed to flndany evidence
whatsoever substantiating, the ' state
ments appearing in Sunday's Oregonlan.
The only incident which in any man
ner sustains the statement was the
abuse of a-strike breaking driver by
a man in our employ while on the street
car on his way home. When this mat
ter was cauea to our attention, our em
ploye was Informed that upon repetition
of any such conduct, even outside of
working hours it would be ' necessary
for us to dispense with his services.
We are not members of the Employ
ers' association although we have con
tributed funds towards their ' Work.
Shortly after the strike started, we
were accused, by members' of the Em
ployers' association of signing up-With
the union, and word was passed to boy
cott our firm. We learned of this and
took the matter up with the association,
and the members of the association
having satisfied themselves that the
statement was false, they caused to be
Issued- to their membera a letter - f
which the following ia a copy:
"Portland, June 13, 1910 To onr
members: Dear Slra A rumor! has
been circulated that Lang & Co.. whole
sale grocers, had signed up with the
teamsters'! union, we have Investigated
this matter and find it to be absolutely
raise, and have : their assurance that
such will never.be the case and that
they will absolutely stand for the "open
shop" principle, and have the open chop
card now in their window. , r
"The4 Employers' Association of Oregon."
r . Demonstration la Declared. ; . -
. Later. . on. the president of the asso
ciation requested us, f among others, to
lay our men off for one day and not
move a pound of freight,, in , order to
maKe a public demonstration with "a
view of calling the city administration's
attention to existing conditions. It is
needless to Ray we refused to take thla
stand.' -
Later we were asked to display the
"Open Shop" sign in our windows. We
agreed to do so, providing other houses
In our line would do likewise, and upon
being informed that all houses With one
exception had agreed to post these
signs, we- placed these signs In ' our
windows In prominent places. - s - .
several days, ago we were accused of
paying Mr. Gram who we understand
is an officer of the Teamsters" union.
the sum. of 20 per week for permitting
our men to stay with their Jobs. An
other report had It that we were paying
ttvis gentleman 60-cents perflay for each
union man driving for us. We have
never dealt with the union or its offi
cers as euch, and have paid no Bums
Whatsoever except to our drivers for
work -performed., " , ? . .
. .. Wot All Union Drivers. .
Our drivers are not all union men.
regardless : of the statement made by
Mr. Banfleld, president of the Employ
ers association. , We agreed to the open
shop and conduct an open shop, and eii
ploy our drivers for competency and
service, regardless of Whether they are
union or nonunion, tror nearly , two
years our firm has been operating its
own teams. On two occasions prior
to ; the time -we commenced operating
our tearoa tne team owners' union ad
Vanced their hauling rates, the last time
about two years ago, when the men de
manded an advance of 25 cents per day.
me naming rates, however, were ad
vancea irom 25 to-0 per cent over the
rates we had been paying, and of the
advance the drivers got about 15 per
cent ana tne .trucking companies 85
per 'cenU'l'C-J. -".,-.r-
J he rates became so excessive and
burdensome that we were forced to put
on our own teams, and although we
have been paying our drivers better
than union wages, and v giving them
shorter hours, the venture has proved
profitable,, to us. When the present
strike occurred, we were therefore In
a position altogether different from the
other , wholesale grocery houses , and
while -not dealing with the union, they
have not attempted to call our men off,
Hfld they done so, we would have taken
means to keep our teams at wow.
The fact that our men have Kept at
work has excited the other wholesale
grocery houses and . has caused a good
dual of Jealousy, and without doubt
some of the reports In circulation ema
nate from Jealous ; competitors, j We
