THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORT LANP. MONDAY SEPTEMBER 15, 1919. , r.i RABID OUTBURSTS OF SEATTLE REDS ' LACK IN RESPECT : Noisy Demonstrations at Soiind Metropolis by Radicals Are Regarded With Little Favor. EASTERN WRITER PUZZLED True American Element Goes Wild Oyer Wilson as if to Nullify Unfriendliness of Bolsheviks. Hy Pavld Lawrence En Route With President Wilson to Portland. Sept. 15. Out of the tur moil and noisy demonstration with which 'Seattle greeted the president of the United States, few Americans can derive confident satisfaction. Mr. Wilson's speech about the League of Nations was incidental, indeed relatively unimportant. What was vital and disturbing to the East ern observer was the atmosphere of unrest, ef mob psychology and mob inclination which made the whole presidential party nervous through out the 38 hours of their stay in Seattle. Police lines were none too good and an unmanageable mob of several thou sand kept up a bombardment of noise and hand ', pounding against the doors of the auditorium where the president was trying to speak. Several hundred marines from the Pacific fleet, which the president had reviewed earlier in the day, stood on guard on the docks with fixed ammunition and they stayed there all Saturday night In readiness for trouble. RADICALS ANTAGONISTIC Why? Did the mob want to express - its dissatisfaction with the League of Nations or peace treaty? Not a bit of it. They didn't care about anything so remote as reign policy. They were part apd parcel of the labor movement here, which contains leaders whose pur poses and desires constitute the most tangible evidence of Bolshevism which the United States has yet witnessed. From the moment the president en tered Seattle after a remarkably en- thuslastic demonstration at Tacoma, an hour away, the unfriendly, almost an tagonistic attitude of labor toward Mr. Wilson was conspicuously apparent. f Simple white badges on which was printed In big black letters, "Release po litical prisoners," caught the eyes of all of. us as the presidential procession , passed through thoroughfares more crowded and congested, more noisy and turbulent than anything I have ever seen with the possible exception of the fanatical demonstration which the peo yUo of Milan, Italy,, gave Mr. Wilson last January. MANY TRt'E AMERICANS The I. W. W, and a great many labor men who are not affiliated with the I. W. W wore those badges and kept silent as the pageant went by a silent protest against the imprisonment f men like Eugene, Debs, and Hulet , Wells, who were convicted under the espionage act of attempting to obstruct our success in the late war. And as If the true Americans wanted to show Mr. Wilson that Seattle is loyal, that it Is a population not dif ferent from the populations of other American cities, the demonstration of enthusiasm for Mr. Wilson, the symbol of authority, was by far the most re markable tribute he has ever gotten in this country. Confirmation of this was to be found In the way the audience at the auditorium leaped "to its feet and shouted with almost frenzied en thusiasm as the president, after describ ing the pitiful condition of the Russian people and the terrible rule of the mi . nority of Bolshevist autocrats, spoke with dramatic emphasis this sentence: "My fellow citizens, I am going to devote every influence I have and all the authority I have from this time on to see to it that no minority commands the United States." MEETI2TQ PEACEFUL Outside the hall we could hear the crowd yelling in loud chorus, "We want ' Wilson, we want Wilson," but on in- vestlgation I found that the crowd wasn't merely trying to get in to hear the president, but was trying to get an opportunity to heckle him about the "political prisoners." Three hundred of these laJww people had been, promised seats in the arena and they alt came wearing those badges aforementioned, and while a few were admitted, somehow or other the police couldn't find room for the great majority f the others and the meeting inside consequently was peace , ful. Nothing so disrespectful to the presl 1 dent has occurred In any previous jour - ney of Mr. Wilson or any other Ameri-- can president, and the peremptory char acter Cit the H Am Bnd m a H a hv on,tu ' labor leaders for 'a conference with the president on the Sunday afternoon when he was resting In Seattle was also not lost upon Eastern observers.

But it cannot be said that all the men In the American Federation of Labor out here are Conservatives. Perhaps it is the contagion of radicalism or the desire to prevent their own authority and position from being uprooted by agitating radicals, but the men who went to see President Wilson at his ho tel on Sunday talked as some of the radicals might have talked. They presented arguments concerning the release of what they termed political prisoners, and their persistence along lines which the radicals have agitated gave an impression not wholly different from their more aggressive brethren. But the hope and confidence of Seattle seems to be dependent upon the wisdom of such men, for the present any way, because they are for law and order as differentiated from the direct actlonlsts., XABOB GEOUP INF1TJE JTTIAL But Seattle is not like Eastern cities. Labor conditions are entirely different. The labor group is .much more audible and influential. For instance, they pub lish a daily newspaper which circulates among hundreds of thousands of work ers In this section. On the front page of the Seattle Union Record, labor's organ, there was printed in flaming letters, on Mr. Wilson's arrival, a series Of questions full of innuendo and de manding the immediate repeal of the espionage law, the release of Tom Mooney and other "political prisoners.': the withdrawal of American forces from Russia, an explanation of the refusal of passports to Americans wishing to visit Russia, support of the Plumb plan and, finally, this query: "Why do you not fire Burleson?" GRIEVANCE AGAINST BTTBLESO There follows a long editorial condemn ing the postmaster general for dismiss ing employes from the postal service for activity In organising unions, and a long discussion supposedly of griev ances of American labor and causes of social unrest in the Pacific North west, but, curiously enough, not a little space is given to the Russian situa tion with a plain undercurrent of sym pathy with the Russian Bolshevists. The people of Seattle have been over run with, propaganda about the Rus sian question and responsible people here tell me they have beep at a loss to know how to fight it because of the uncertainty of the American govern ment's position. President Wilson's plain speaking on his Western trip, his denunciation of the rule of the 34 Bol Bheviki commissioners in Petrograd and Moscow therefore has had an affirma tive effect here. WILSOS'S ADYJCNCES IGNORED It has stimulated those who are try ing to squelch Bolshevism in the United States and given them the impression that they will have the full force of the reaerai government behind them If ne cessary. The president in his speech at Helena talked about radicalism and said plainly that agitation which had for its object the curing of existing wrong by political means should not be molested, but should be encouraged. Some of the newspaper men traveling with the presi dent thought this was a plain stimulus to the lawless elements, who would use the president's words as an excuse for their campaign of agitation. Inquiry in Seattle reveals that what one might have supposed would be food for the radicals or at least good headlines for the labor papers here was carefully buried and ignored. KEEP LABOR DISTRUSTFUL The president's overtures, so to sneak. were concealed from the readers for fear they might renew their confidence in the president, for it is labor's policy to keep me rann and file distrustful of the president and cynical of his promises. wor are they ror this same reason mit ting much emphasis on the capital and labor conference soon to be held In Washington. The I. W. W. and large Doaies or otner laboring msn are apa- tneuo about that conference. A typical question addressed to President Wilson which reveals the attitude of the main labor paper in Seattle, for instance is this: Why do you not occasionally suggest to employers that they pay the wages or grant the conditions demanded by labor pending the calling of an indus trial conference. Instead of continually asKing lanor to make the sacrifices?' RADICALS BLAME PRESIDENT The average Easterner would probably argue mat rresioent Wilson had been very friendly to labor throughout his administration and it is because of that fact that he is so often criticised "by conservatives Jn both the Democratic and Republican parties. But out here the editorials and speeches of the labor group mane Mr, Wilson out to be a tory of the most tyrannical stripe, suppress ing tree speech, torturing" political prisoners, offending the workers" of Rus sia, and participating in an alleged mis carriage or justice with respect to numerous labor martyrs- This, then, is the atmosphere in which president-Wilson found himself at Seat tle aa atmosphere of class friction with an aparenension or disorder and anarchy tnat icnot imaginary but real. - Perhaps It was the turbulence of the mob friendly though It proved to be which threw Mr. Wilson off his steady poise, for his speech in Seattle was dis connected and devoid of any new argu ment. It was at Tacoma that the presi dent made his best speech. He made his audience gasp as he recited the fearful cost In men and money of the late war and a spontaneous outburst of approval greeted his reading of the final paragraph of his famous war mes sage of April, 1917. It was a passage printed on Liberty loan posters every where throughout the war and Mr. Wil son's point is that when he made his ad dress to congress. Republicans and Dem ocrats alike, applauded and Issued state ments afterwards declaring that the president had' truly spoken the wish of the American people. TACOMA IN 8TMPATHT So the president repeated the phrases in which he had pledged America to fight for the liberty of small nations and the establishment of a concord of powers to preserve the peace of the world, namely a partnership of nations. The Tacoma audience and the crowds gave Mr. Wilson evidence upon evidence of their sympathy and approval. ..but it would be difficult for anyone to' an alyze whether the riotous clamor In Se attle was a demonstration for the League of Nations or a demonstration of the social unrest which Mr. Wilson has been arguing would spread through out the whole United States If the peace treaty is not soon disposed of and gov ernments ana peoples given a Bettled basis on which to calculate their social and economic future.

LITTLE JEAN GRUBBS TO PRESIDENT'S WIFE Event Not Programmed, Staged by Park Rose School Children. A bright little feature of the presi dent's entertainment this morning, not on the regular program, was staged at Parkrose, on the highway, just, beyond the city limits, where the presidential car pulled up long enough for the wom en of the district to present Mrs. Wilson with a huge bouquet, and for the school children to give their yell, ' Welcome, Wilson," and to get a "close-up" of the chief executive. A banner of greeting had been stretched over the roadway, and the honor flag, awarded the Parkrose school by The Oregon Journal for the school's splendid record in the sale of war sav ings stamps'durlng the war, floated aloft and added color to the scene. Little Jean Grubbs presented the flow ers to Mrs. Wilson. Jean is the daugh ter of J. F. Grubbs, who was principal of the school, and who did much to keep up the patriotic endeavor of the PRESENTS BIG BOUQUET children during the war. Mx. Grubbs died recently. Mrs. J. Mann Fisher apd Mrs. W. F. Wilmot represented the community in arranging the program. The president and Mrs. Wilson smiled graciously and beamed appreciation' as their car sped on after the brief interruption. Seditious Gossip About President Lands Two in Jail Charged With using seditious lan guage against the president of the United States, J. C. Smith, 48, and George Hense, 38, were arrested in front of the Portland Lumber company office by William Warfel, special deputy sher iff, at 7 :15 o'clock this morning. The arrest was made on complaint of L. Gar field, who said he heard the tirade di rected against the president. At the police station both gave ship yard work as their occupation. Police made a rigid examination and it was decided to hold the. pair without bail and incommunicado.? Custom Tailors Strike Seattle. Wash., Sept IB (I. N.

SEATTLE RADICALS TALI Imprisonment of Leaders Under Espionage Act Protested at Special Meeting. By Jay Jerome Williams Seattle, Sept. 1 5. One result of President. Wilson's speeches on radi calism came to pass Sunday, when three representatives of labor in this city . and the state of Washington sought and were granted an ap pointment with him. They wanted to see him, they said, to talk over the "existing state of social unrest.'' The president was closeted with the men for an hour and toward the end of the conference Admiral Rodman, the commander of the new Pacific fleett and a distinguished array of other, naval officers, waited for their appointment with the nation's chiet executive. The spokesman of the labor trio was L. W. Buck, acting president of the tate Federation of Labor, and with him were c li. uotiren, secretary oi in Triple alliance, an organisation of rail way men, workers and farmers, and pat terned on the lines of the Non-Rartlsan league, and James A. Duncan, secretary of the state labor council. All three men are identified with tlte more radical labor element on the coast, and Duncan Is said to, have been one of the figures in the general strike here last spring. MOONEY CASE IS CITED They told the president that labor wanted a fair representation at the forthcoming Industrial conference in Washington next month. In reply the president told them It was all right to have grievances, but he wanted to know what their remedy was for them. Their response was largely a repetition of the statement that labor should have a fair representa tion at the industrial conferences The Mooney case was mentioned, but only in the lght of a labor man Im prisoned after an unfair trial, and they called the president's attention to the cases of four radicals here, all of whom are prisoners in the federal penitentiary at McNeill's island after conviction on charges of seditious conspiracy. The men, Hulet M. Wells, a former president of the Central Labor council, Sam Sadler, and Morris and Joe Pass, Rvssians, are doing two years' time for opposing the draft. It is because of their imprisonment that hundreds of men in Seattle yester day wore cardboads on their hats bear ing the inscriptions, "Release Political Prisoners." There is a fine distinction In their words. They are not seeking a pardon for the men. They want the president to release them because their adherents do not believe them guilty of anything. Because of the four convicted men, whose Imprisonment is a big topic here, there were several open air agitators at work before big crowds within earshot of the president's hotel Sunday. When the labor men left the president they said they would ''give him an op portunity to issue a statement first," and that today they would issue their statement. The president. It was said authorita tively, however, does not intend to issue a statement. The conference Sunday was the first "side conference" that the president has held. I TO WELCOME WILSON (Continued Prom P One) tor the appearance of the president, re tired to the car. for the welcome, , and came out a few moments later witn Joseph P. Tumulty, president Wilson's private secretary. A corps of secret service men were in and about the car, and orily the designated members of the reception committee wera admitted.

While other members of the reception committee awaited the president's party outside the station, the welcome group entered the Mayflower and greeted members of the official party. The program for the president In Port land today was marked at 1 o'clock by the dinner in his honor at the Hotel Portland. C. S. Jackson, as host, had assembled for this event a representative group of Oregon citizens who there had their first opportunity to hear President Wilson. Mrs. Wilson shared the honor of the dinner with her distinguished hus band.

The 80-mile run possessed the ele ments of an almost constant ovation. very house had its decoration of flags. A blue glngharaed mother stood at the roadside with a bouquet of dahlias, which she had lovingly gathered for Mrs. WUson. Another rosy-cheeked housewife lustily waved a flag big enough to have made her a dress. Though summer was in the air, the touch, of autumn had brought blushes from the maples. The countryside radi antly reflected the smile of heaven and so did' the president and his fellow countrymen who rejoiced not only to see him. but to think that his eyes rested upon the view which they believe lo be, of all views, most beautiful. From roof, window, and fire escape, and from the thronged thoroughfares of Portland, President Wilson was heartily acclaimed this morning. From flag-hung buildings and from the densely crowded streets below the distinguished visitor was waved a fond welcome with flag and handkerchief. From street and building voluminous cheers greeted Portland's guest, as he bowed with bared head in recognition of animated applause. GETS ROVS1JHJ WELCOME The 'president's car moved into the sea of onlookers, preceded by machines bearing service men and police, and the Red' Cross band. Moving slowly up sixth street the applause opened. In creased in volume, and broke Into wild aoclatm as the presidential car turned Into Washington street. Up. Third the cheers continued, punc tuated with shouts of welcome and hurrahs for the League of Nations Fluttering handkerchciefs and American flags drew the attention of the presi dent as he passed through the con gested areas on Madison and Broad way until the climax was reached at Morrison and Fifth. For several min utes the applause continued with cries of welcome and approval greeting the president from every side. EXECUTIVE CLOSELY UUABDED The army of bystanders continued to line Broadway, across the bridge through Irvington and out into Rose City Park, where seas of automobiles lined the path of the presidential pro cession. The Incessant cheers of the crowd only ceased as the president's car eased into the fresh air and green fields outside the lty limits. The chief executive's car was flanked in the procession by a squaC of motor cycle police, and followed immediately by secret service operatives. MAST CARS ITS PROCESSION" Admiral Orsyson and Secretary Tu multy were accompanied in the third car by Mayor Baker. Dr. C J. Smith and Marshal Alexander. Ex-Governor West, chairman of the general reception com mittee, and Mrs. Olcott, Mrs. Baker and Mra Jackson, special reception commit tee to Mra Wilson, followed closely, with news writers and secret service men in line.

After leaving the city limits, the presi dential partys and local reception com mittee members proceeded to Crown. Point, where the official welcome to the city was extended. Probably the most Inspiring demon stration that has greeted President flVll son during his stay in the city was oc corded him on his arrival at Hotel Portland from Crown Point The presi dential machine, proceeding rapidly up Morrison street, was loudly acclaimed several blocks from 'the hotel, climaxing wtth a deafening outburst asthe car, bearing the chief executive, swiryf into the courtyard at the hotel. Contiguous streets were densely banked with onlookers, and others viewed th Ecene from windows, roofs and other vantage points. Those who had gathered at tha hos telry in hopes of hearing a few words from the president were dissapointed, for although he immediately entered the hotel after alighting from his automo bile, he appeared on the veranda- and inspired a deafening greeting from several thousand persons, many of whom clung perilously to vantage points ofl Liberty Temple and the federal build ing.
