Fleming Declares "Agi tators" Have Intimidated Would-Be Signers, 'STANDPAP ACTION TAKEN XwtlAff t Arloa Hall Dacidaa Wot to Abftt Stand for TncreM In Wrn ftt Bt. Jobna. Believlnff that an overwhelming majority of workmen are willing to go back to the St. Johns tunnel opera tions at the tame waKe scale that prevailed before the strike and lock out. J. F. Fleming, 632 East Salmon street, has asked that workmen who are tired of enforced idleness write the contractors postal cards to indi cate their wishes. "I cannot be called a 'scab a many of the agitators are calling men who are signing petitions to go back to work," said Mr. Fleming, "becausi I am a member of the Western Fed eration of Miners and have been for nearly 30 years. MoBt of the men em ployed at the tunnel were satisfied and would be working thera yet but for the agitators. Says Agitators rolled Plan. "A meeting called for Columbia park at which petitions were to be signed proved futile because the agi tators there kept shouting 'scab.' and thereby intimidated men from sign ing. We have 600 signatures, at,that. "So I would suggest that those who really want to go back to work write their names and working num bers on postcards and send to A. Guthrie & Co., the contractors. That will have the same effect as a peti tion without any of the trouble and intimidation." Mr. Fleming denied that he is act ing for the company in any way, not having even consulted any officer of A. Guthrie & Co. Meeting Decided to "Stay." About 150 tunnel workers held a meeting at Arion hall last night to discuss the situation. After a num ber' of speeches. It was decided to "stand pat" on the demands. The charge1 was made, however, that the men who are tired of idleness were not fully represented at the meeting. Among those who spoke were V. H. Couth walte, who urged a return to work; Blmoa Billings, who urged hold ing out for a "pay Increase; J. Brttt Carity, c. H. Miller- and C. Carson. K. A. Hathaway presided. About 1200 uen are Idle as the result of A. Guthrie & Cos action in suspending work when the strike was put partially in effect. Postmasters Elect ' Myers Chief Again Portland P.

NOISE ANNOYS NOBODY City's Biggest Throng; Mores About Uke Soman Olaclsr Through Erery Street Down Town. There never was a crowd quite like it. Variously estimated at from 75,000 to 160,000 in number, it moved through, the streets, now a turgid mass, now a broad stream, from early evening until after midnight. It was a crowd remarkable for its orderliness, exceptional . for its good nature and unprecedented for its absence of a rowdy element. It was a crowd on foot and in auto mobiles. Hundreds of machines crawled through the streets for hours. Good Time Eternal. It was a gay and lively crowd, and every individual In it had a good time. Confetti was kept swirling hrough the air Like snow. Tangled ribbons of serpentine caught on autos and . street cars, thrown around the necks of walkers, formed thousands of nets. Hawkers stood on every street cor ner vending their wares, confetti, ser pentina, tin horns, squawkers,.' Charlie Chaplin mustaches, dunce caps and all the other appurtenances of the car nival. Indian files pushed their way through the masses of people like lbng snakes. Auto sirens, street car gongs, cow bells, tin cans and horns blended in unlovely discord. The din was deafening. Pestl7al Center JKaseed The Festival center was one solid mass ' of humanity, the streets sur rounding the. park blocks choked with people. They moved and that was all. A few policemen directed the stream of traffic, but little attention was paid to the crowd. They looked out for themselves and with a re markable restraint from rowdyism. The only stimulus was the spirit 'of festival and carnival, and all Portland had a good time for the price of a few bags of confetti, a tin horn and carfare. It is an accomplishment probably unequaled by any other American city.
