'If the strike Is not settled before to morrow night, draitlo nitrtn will be adopted at the Federated Trades Coun cil' wu the declaration soade this morn ing by J. E. Lewton. secretary of the Building Trades Council. '-A' walkout Is 'threatened of erery laboe organisation In the city which li In any manner, directly or indirectly, connected with building operations or the handling of lumber. Some even go farther, and say that every union In the city will be , called out, but' thla assertion cannot be traced to any official source. It Is almost an absolute certainty, how ever, that the sawmill men, the Water Front Federation and the teamsters will be called out, and very probably several other organisations. Borne Intimate thut the street oars will be tied up, and that the strike will spread from branch to branch of the Federated Trades until every Industry In the city will be la a complete state, of Inactivity, Trainmen May Strike. There is one card which the unions have yet to play that will have a potent Influence In bringing the opposition to terms. It has been reserved as a last re sort, and will probably be broaght into action tomorrow night. This Is the Broth erhood of Railway Trainmen, which Is affiliated with the Federated Trades. In this organization Is Included engineers, conductors, firemen, switchmen and brakemen. The Building Trades Council has al ready received an unofficial notice from the Brotherhood of Trainmen .that none of the material turned out by the boycot ted mills will be handled by any members of the organization. A car was being leaded yesterday by one of the planing mills for the Alblna Lumber Company when the switchmen rebelled and the car was sidetracked) where It still remains. If the swltahme eontlnue this policy, 4 and it Is believed they will, the train men may not be tailed out tomorrow nlghf. On the other hand, if the rail roads are tied up, it Is argued by -business men and others, the mlllmen will be either forced to make early concessions or to close down Indefinitely. It Is not thought that they will adopt the latter course, as their business would suffer tre mendously thereby, from which It would require years to recuperate. Strikers Confident. All of the 2500 men are still out, and seem more confident as time progresses. It was thought by some that many of the carpenters would weaken and re turn, but out of the 850 members of the organization only two have gone to work, and they were granted special permits to finish a job that had to be completed. They say they will be the last men to de ' sert the union cause. T. Fltzpatrick, business gent of the Plumbers' Union, said this morning: "It was reported yesterday in one of the locLpapers that some of the plumb era are getting "cold feet and are anx ious to return to work. This Is wholly untrue, and T wish you would deny the statement In The Journal. The plumbera In the fight to win." ? Some of the tinners were complaining today about their being called out, and severely criticised the order. They say they do not see what assistance they can render the strikers, but concluded with vthe remark: "We havo been called out, however, and intend to obey the sum mons until the last." If the mill owners are entertaining any proposition to make concessions to the Ipcked-out employes, they fail to betray the fact by word or act. If they are on the point of yielding from the position which they have assumed throughout the difficulty, then they are actors of the best type. Apparently they are as firm In their opposition te lbs recognition of the onion' as they have ever been. They reiterate their oft-repeated statement that they have nothing to arbitrate, and that they can ret along without the assistance of rganlzed labor. Millmen's Side. Four of the mills are working with about the same forces which have been . on since the lockout occurred These are the Nlcolal Bros., the Alnslle, the Martin and the Northwest Door Company. Su perintendent Connell of the latter firm aid today: "We usually have on a crew of from 45 to 50 men, but now have SS at work. At present we are filling some city or ders for nonunion carpenters, of whom . there is quite number In Portland. We are also filling shipping orders so far aa our capacity will admit We have a suf ficient amount of orders ahead to keesi running constantly for some time . to . coins.'' It Is not our Intention to concede . anything to the "union or to recognise it in any manner whatsoever." I "If the trainmen should refuse to han- die your material, what effect will It have upon your business, Mr. Connelir 'I do not think' that they will 'refuse to handle it ' I do not think that the Federated Trades wlU have any Influence upon them whatever." Mr. Neppach; manager fct Nlcolal Bros.' mill, la very voluble on the subject, and maintains that the union Is not injuring their business la the least It U a great rendezvous for pickets and strikers, and Neppach puts In a great deal of his time "Jollying" them. A stalwart 'cop' appears on the scene occasionally to size up the situation, and then meanders off in some other direction. The non-union men are not molested, but the pickets seem to look upon them with pitying glances. Brick Supply Stopped. The executive committee of the Build ing Trades Council was In session this morning,, awaiting some communication from the mill owners, but none came, The committee being notified that bricks are being hauled to the various bulldingj In course of construction, conferred with the brickyard proprietors, who promised that no more-bricks will be hauled from their yards, ,., President Ourr said that this strike would be brought up before the Feder ated Trades Council tomorrow night. East Side Situation. On the Advance Threshing Company's building, corner East First and Belmont streets, there were about 15 nonunion men employed by Contractor Griffin. A num ber of union men were gathered about the building, but no demonstration was made. Tho. contractor who has charge of the erection of the new warehouse of the John Deere Plow Company, corner East First and East Yamhill streets, has about five men employed, three of whom are members of the union. At the large building of the Buffalo Pitts Company, two nonunion painters were at work this morning. A contractor who is erecting a number of residences In Sunnyside was in town among a large crowd of strikers and wanted" Information as to when opera tions would be resumed. He said that all his men had quit yesterday, leaving '6lVma(l )6y 'td( complete the work. This morning he asked the boy to -clean up the yard In front of one of the new resl dehces. and he refused, saying that he guessed thai as all the men had quit their jobs, he was going to strike, too. Then the boss threw up his hands and quit, also. Non-Union Men Strike. At three minutes before 12 o'clock today the 12 non-union men who have been em ployed at the Nlcolal Bros.' mill walked out, and did not show up for work this afternoon. Amohg them was the en glneer, and the mill Is now deserted with the exception of the owners and Manager Neppach who are still on the scene. One of the men said: "We could stand It no longer. The union men are all on a strike and we want to see them win. Therefore, this was the sensible course for us to take." The union men were elated when this Intelligence was conveyed to them, and believe that It will have a powerful tend ency to bring the mlJlowners to time. They consider that Mr. Neppach had al ways been more active In opposition to tho union than anyone else connected with the planing mills. He has always con tended that the strike did not affect the mill, with which be Is connected. In the least. The unions now believe that It will be but a matter of a short time when tne non-union men employed In the other mills will follow the example set today by those who walked out. ' If so. It looks as though the labor trouble will soon settle Itself. A prominent labor leader said this af ternoon: ' "The mlllmen have absolutely refused to meet us and talk over the situation. They are putting up a stubborn fight, and by so doing are Injuring themselves more than anyone else. Conferring With Owners. "Robert Inman, of Inman, Poulsen & Company. Is conferring with the mill owners this afternoon, and endeavoring to get them to meet the labor representa tives and arbitrate the matter. "If something Is not done soon I look for Portland to present a very dead ap pearance next Monday. I would not be surprised to see every labor organization In the city called out. The railroads and street railways may be tied up, as well as every) other enterprise. We can never re cede now; It is too late for that." On, being interviewed regarding the men walking out of Nicholal Bros.' mill this morning, Manager Neppach; In an swer to a question as to what he inends to do, said: "You want to know what I intend to do, do youT Well, It's none of your busi ness." On being questioned further, as to what the mlllmen would do, and that The Journal wished to get both sides of, the case. Mr. Neppach said: . "I don't know what the mlllmen will do, and as to the paper, X know it's fair." .Action Approved. The carpenters,; bricklayers, plumbers and Janitors met ta their respective halls last night and uumreved the action of the Building- (Trades Council In esJHnr out the several unions affiliated with that (Continued from H.
