All cars of the health bureau were
busy this morning. The car usually
operated by Dr. Slpple was in the
repair shop. Many smallpox patients
were in need of attention. Dr. George

to Commissioner Mann for' help. The
result was the commandeering of the

RETAILERS REFUSE
TO OPERATE UNDER
CLOSED SHOP PLAN
A big majority of Portland's re
tail merchcjits, flarge and small, are
today operating their establishments
on the , ''American plan," and: have
flatly refused to sign a "closed shop"
agreement with the i - ail Clerks'
International! Protective association,
employers an! union officiate de
clare, j
' Not cme of the' leading retail , mer
chants would sign the agreement present
ed to him today by union officials, al
though the union, anticipates acceptance
of the agreement by one large- depart
ment store and a number of smaller
stores, its president. J. D. Myall, an
nounced. Coincident with the decision of men
chants to adhere strictly to the open
shop principle of business, comes .the
announcement of employers that I retail
stores throughout the business district,
will close at 6 o'clock Saturday evening,
instead of at 8 or 9 o'clock as heretofore.
EMPLOYERS HATE POWER i
The "American plan," which has been
adopted, the merchants say, entirely by
individual action, provides that empoly-
ers may hire and fire clerks as they
choose, without the interference of an
organisation of clerks and without re
gard to union or otl er affiliation, mean
while establishing and applying their
own wage scales and otherwise conduct
ing their business as they choose.
President Myall of the clerks union
declares that the union has made 1.0
attempt to dictate business polidies, nor
to. determine wage scales for men work
ers, although the union did demand the
closed shop, leaving the employer ho
alternative but to employ members of
the union. The union did ask. Myall
avers, that a minimum wage scale for
women employes' be established and
asked adjustment of working hours.
"My canvass today In seeking signa
tures to the new union agreements, the
former agreement having expired February-
28. makes me feel certain that
the merchants have taken concerted ac
tion .toward this plan, and that It has
not been the spontaneous, individual
conclusion of the merchants," Myall
said. "I believe the employers have as
sociated themselves to overwhelm us
when we presented the agreements for
their signatures. We baVe obtained a
number of minor signatures and expeet
j within a very short , time to add others,
Including that of the management of o..e
of the largest department stores."
Merchants deny that they have any
quarrel with thi- union and say that
their action is not influenced by any as
sociation or group of employers,
NOTHING AGAINST UNION
"I am not dissatisfied with the union
because of past relations," Sea Selling,
Clothier, said today. "However, I have
adopted the open shop policy, and in
addition have shortened the Saturday
working hours until now we close the
store at 6 p. m. Instead of 8 o'clock.
There will be no change, as far as I am
concerned, in the present store staff and
la adding to the Btaff union members
will receive exactly the same considera
tion and treatment as any other appli
cant for a position."
Other leading downtown employers
aver that they have 'no bone to pick
with the union. ' There will be no
change in the wage scale, although in
many cases the working hours will be
voluntarily cut. Union and non-union
workmen will be on the same footing
hereafter.
The retail clerks are causing the
picketing of two shoe stores that adopt
ed the so-called American plan some
weeks ago and declined to sign an
agreement to employ only union men.
In connection with the same cases the
Multnomah county circuit court has re
cently given the union the legal right
to picket so long as the picketing per
sonnel be confined to one person at a
time at each store. ,

sions has derided the decisions as in
comprehensible. "I have listened on numerous occa
sions to your statements that the rul
ings were silly and ridiculous," said
Judge Wilson. "I am not speaking with
reference to myself on this bench ; I am'
speaking for the court , and the au
thority with which It is clothed. ; I don't
care what you say to me' In chambers,
as you have on many occasions. I don't
care what you say out of the court, but
while I am presiding here you must
show the court the honor and dignity
and justice which the orderly procedure
Of court guarantees."
! Interminable- discussions in the last
few days on the admissibility , of evi
dence by the 'defense to show threats
against the I. W. W. before proof was
given that Grimm participated in an as
sault on the 1. W. W. hail brought the
issue to a decisive point today.

said the soldiers were IS or 20 feet
away when the first shots were fired
by Wesley Everest. James Mclnerney.
another of the defendants, testified the
doors and windows were smashed in
and that this was followed by shoot
ing. Defense Attorney Vanderveer changed
his tactics today, abandoning, temporar
ily at least, his efforts to introduce tes
timony relating to alleged threats to
drive the I. W. W. out of Centralia.
Evidence of this character, the court
ruled, must be preceded by a showing
that Warren Grimm was a party to the
alleged raid , on the Industrialist head
quarters. i,
Through the testimony of Mike Sheehan-
and James Mclnerney, Vanderveer
attempted to Impeach the sworn' state
ments of Tom Morgan, star witness for
the prosecution, who was one of the men
captured in the I. W. W. hall after the
shooting. ' .
Morgan and Sheehan were sitting by
the stove in the L W. W. hall when the
parade went by, Sheehan said j He had
been reading a book and had Just gotten
up to get a newspaper when he heard a
crash at the front of the hall, he said.
Fifteen or 20 soldiers were in front of
the building in the street, the nearest
of them 14 or IB feet away from the door,
an Wesley Everest' poured lead into the
crowd. - j," .

As tor Mclnerney, he was not.- cross
examined by the proeecutiott. Each of
the : witnesses testified that , he did not

afternoon of November 11. and SheVhan
said he did not nave a gun at that time.
Mclnerney admitted possession of a
revolver holster and cartridge belt, lib
erally supplied with cartridges.
Mclnerney and Bheehan planned leav
ing on the 4 o'clock train the afternoon
of November 11. Sheehan declared, to
order to bear De Valera speak that night
in Tacoma.
BROAD IRISH BEOOCE
Sheehan spoke in the broadest of Irish
brogues and Mclnerney also proved hie
Gaelic ancestry. . -
Sheehan testified that be waa born in
Ireland and that he was not a citisen
of the United SUtes. He was tn Cen
tralia 'Monday evening about 6 o'clock
and Inquired of two "wobbUes at the
station, to use his own language, as to
the location of the I. W. W. haH.-
He also inquired for Mclnerney, with
whom he had been friendly, the witness
declared, In Portland in February of
1919. Sheehan Joined, the l- W. W. in
1911. He is a member of the. labor work
ers' branch, Sheehan declared. For
seven months during the war he "worked
at Camp, Lewis as a carpenter.
HEARD OF NO RAID
Sheehan said he heard no conversa
tion relating to a purported raid at the
mil Monday night The night was spent
n a room In the Denmark hotel In Cen
xalia. The following morning about
10 :30 he cashed a check for $19.40 with
Britt 8mlth at the L W. W. hall.
"In my time in the hall I never heard
one word, directly- or Indirectly, about
a raid," Sheehan declared. t
Practically all the time he was in the
ball was spent in reading. Sheehan as
serted, for the most part engaging In a
perusal of the report of the Industrial
relations committee of congress.
"I finished reading and stood up with
me back to the door and was wiping me
specs'.' testified Mike. "I heard a noise
and looked around and saw the door
open and that man Everest shooting
out He shot very fast."
Sheehan said he broke for the rear of
the hall, the first Urn he had ever gone
to that part of the building, and with
Morgan. Mclnerney and Ray Brlcker
bid in the icebox.
'I got out me union card me Wobbly
card and stuck in the slats overhead,"
sal'' Sheehan, illustrating his testimon I
with emphatic gestures. "This MorgAt
Was crouching behind me," V
He . was shaking, apparently from
fear, Sheehan intimated.
"DON'T SHOOT," IS CRT
Presently a soldier came along and
opened the door, Sheehan declared, and
glimpsing those within, exclaimed,
"Donf shoot, don't shoot."
Sheehan said he was! the first man
out of the icebox. Presently those who
had been captured were .taken, to the
city jail. The mob, he declared, was
furious and wanted to lynch them.
Patrolman Jackson of the Centralia
f9rce struck an ex-soldier in the fce
to keep him from attacking the at
tendants. He' was In the city jail at
Centralia three weeks, Sheehan said.
Vanderveer attempted to produce evi
dence showing that Tom Morgan, one
of those arrested with Sheehan, was
subjected to duress in jail, but Judge
Wilson ruled adversely. Morgan was
a witness for the state, and Is not a
defendant In the murder proceedings.
FEARED DOUBLE CROSS
When he learned that Britt Smith had
made a statement to the prosecutors,
Sheehan declared, he thought he was
being double crossed," so he made a
statement also. This was given in the
office of Special Prosecutor Cunningham
In Centralia, .
Vanderveer was sternly . 'called" by
the court when he attempted to argue,
in the presence of the jury, in behalf
of a desire to present testimony in re
gard to the lynching of Wesley Everest.
RED PRISONER'S ATTEMPT
TO ESCAPE IS FRUSTRATED
By Fred H. MeXell
MoTitesano, Wash., March 1. The
quiet serenity of an extra day in the
leap year, when most Montesanans who
were not in church were still In bed, was
rudely rent Sunday morning with loudj
EurieKS irom me county jau, adjoining
the courthouse.
The shrleker was one Antt-Kal.' a
Finnish Communist, recently tried with
11 others before Superior Judge Ben
Sheeks and convicted of violating the
state criminal syndicalism act
Tiring of the long confinement and
not knowing exactly what It was all
about, he decided to abide it no more.
Plcktng up a garbage can in his cell,
while the prisoners were cleaning house,
he walked boldly out of the corridor into
that area where only Jailers and visitors
may go, and stood awaiting the oppor
tunity to pass through the one door to
freedom. .
MOTfTESAJfO DESERTED
His sortie into forbidden territory was
short lived. Deputy Sheriff Roy Inmon,
whose father is one of the jurors in the
Centralia murder case, throttled the sur
prised syndicalist and had him back la
the cell In a trice.
The outburst followed. Shrieks In
Finnish followed, accompanied by tears
and an occasional curse in English. Other
prisoners Joined In the chorus, which,
however, was cut short.
Outside of this, one would not have
known today that a murder trial attract
ing the attention of the nation, was in
progress. The "not in" signs were hung
on the doors of prosecuting attorney's
headquarters, and if any of the defense
staff were within a dozen miles of
Montesano, none, was in evidence. -
Soldiers lolled' around on the grass
back of the courthouse and the only
man looking busy was Lieutenant R. E.
O. Opte, guard officer of the day. Head
quarters of the guard are in the county
jail office.
' The Centralia murder case enters oh
Its sixth week this morning, and
there is every prospect that. the case Is
more than half complete.
Defense Attorney George F. Vander
veer signified Saturday . that he waa
practically half through with presenta
tion of his testimony. His attempts to
prove that Warren O. twimm, one of
the four vicltims of the Armistice day
tragedy at Centralia, was an aggressor,
were fruitless, in the opinion-of Superior
Judge John M. Wilson, in the two days
Vanderveer spent on it last week. ,
MUST SHOW GBIMM'8 PABT
Further proof of overt act on the' part
of Grimm is expected Monday. As soon
as prima facie evidence of Grimm's par
ticipation in the supposed assault on
the I. W. W. hall Is proven to the satis
faction of the court, introduction of the
testimony will be permitted, showing that
members of the I. W. W. were threatened
-In Centralia. and that their actions were
'In self defense. -i vJ
The entire, case of the defense, at
torneys claim, rests on thle one point
It must be shown. In more or less com4
plete form, 'that Warren O. Grimm was
in the assaulting party, and hot until
this Is proved can evidence of any con
spiracy or plot to raid the L W. W. hall,
thus giving the accused a self defense
basis,, be Introduced.' ;
So far 5 witnesses have testified in)
defense. Three of the defendants haves
been on the stand. Two of them, Kugene'
Barnett and Britt Smith, to tell their
complete stories ; the third. Elmer Smith,
testified in regard to the sanity of Loren
Roberto, and yet has to tell of his par-
tici nation in what, transpired at ' Cen-tralla..-
' -j "
-The stories of eight remain to be told.
Besides Elmer Smith, O. C Bland.; John
Lamb, Mike Sheehan, Bert Bland.' Ray
BecKer, James Hclaerney and Loren
Roberts are to testify, if Vanderveer's
promise that all will take the stand ma
terialize. - ; . i
Smith," the prosecation admits, was
not in - the hall when the shooting
actually occurred, but was In his of
fice. He ts accused of adviitinir tha
other in their ctctione. O. C Bland and
John Lamb are said to have been In the
Arnold rooming house during the shoot
ing- The prosecutor maintains they were
shooting from a window.
Mike Sheehan, Becker and Britt Smith,
James Mclnerney and Bert Faulkner,
who has been acquitted were in the ball,
the prosecution contends and the defense
admits. Sheehan the state accused orig
inally of participating in meetings; when
defense of the ha".l Jwaa planned; The
defense claims that! he did not reach
Centralia until Monday night before the
shooting, and this the prosecution now
admits and, stipulation to that effect is
being prepared.

said to have been posted on Seminary
