"' ' " , - Many of the carpenters are out of em ployment because the material at the planing mills, against which the strike was made.' has been declared unfair. Until material can be secured from other sources building operations will not progress 'vary rapidly. The contractor ' belonging to the Mas ter Builders' Association are taking the stand that they should be permitted to use material from tho unfair plaining mills, stating that it had been contract ed for them several months in advance and whether they use It or not they will be compelled to pay for it. Nine Hours Favored. Tbey are favorable to the union and are almost unanimous In expressing the wish that the men will be granted the nine-hour day. But they also have to complete their buildings In a certain length of tjme, and say that it is impos sible at fhe present time to get any ma terial other than that from the boycotted planing mills. The' union mills on the East Side, they say, are too small to turn out a sufficient amount of material to meet all demand; and that goods can not be procured from other sources In time for them to go ahead with their work and have It completed at the time for which the contracts call. Contractor George Gordon offered a Very sensible .suggestion looking toward a settlement of ait difficulties this morn ing. He said: Plan of Settlement. "I believe to the nine-hour day, and think tnat aff master ouuaers entertuln the same view. It Is my opinion that this trouble could be settled shortly if cone about in the right way. I am almost certain that if the Building Trades' off cera would approach the planing mili owners ana give them permission .to finish the contract which they have on hand on the 10-hour system that at the expiration of that time the mlllowners would grant the Amalgamated Wood workers the nine-hour day. You see the mlllowners took the contracts which they now have, figuring that their men would work 10 hours B Cay. Let the Building Trades go to them and tell them to finish these contracts with 'the union men at (he old scheduled and . same house, and when completed, to grant the nine-hour day, and I believe that every one of the mlllowners will do it. I think that they would sign articles of agreement with the union to that effect "There has been hasty action by both sides all around, and it seems to me that this thing can be settled very easily if gone at properly. Let them get together for a final conference and consider the plan as I have outlined, and I believe that arrangements can be made for everyone to return to work, building will be re sumed and all classes of industries will again be in a flourishing condition." ... Return to Work. The carpenters in the employ of Lewis & Lewis returned to work this morning. There are about 26 of them. They quit yesterday because a master plumber was working on the Job, and they were under the Impression that the Master Plumb era' Association had locked out Its men. After becoming acquainted with the situa tion they reported for work this morn ing. Steward 4c Wlnslow's men are also at work. These firms have a considerable supply of fair goods on hand, and will be enabled to keep their- union employes at work continuously for several weeks. They do a great portion of their own manufacturing work, such as making Toors sashes, etc., and do not have to SEEKING SAFETY sScrlpps-McRae New Association.) PARIS, May 28. Acting Governor of Martinique L'Huerr has sent a cable gram to the Ministry of the .Colonies giv ing the .latest accounts' of conditions there.

WASHINGTON, May J$.-T1 Senate today agreed to vote on the Philippine bill on Tuesday next at 4, p. nv Boy COMPLICATED Planing Mills Causes Trouble depend exclusively in getting their ma terial from the boycotted mills. The officers of the carpenters' union state that If the master builders use any of the material from the non-unin planing mills that, the members of uio union will refuse to work (or them, but will not molest any non-union men who may be employed. "If they think that they can complete their jobs," said one of the officers, "without the assistance of union me chanics they will be allowed to proceed free from any Interference on our part. We will not send out pickets to per suade the menet oqult, but will pur cue entirely different tactics. We will merely let them severely alone, and you will soon see them become ashamed of themselves, and throw up their Jobs. Moreover there are not over half a doz en good mechanics in the city who are hot members of the union." Plumbers Situation. The Master Plumbers' Association has not yet reached an agreement with the union, hut expects to arrive at an under standing In a day or two. In the meantime a great many of the plumbers have been put to work by the master plumbers not allied with the association There are about six of these firms In the city. One of the most prominent of these Is perhaps J. F. Shen, who has a large force of men at work today and shortly expects to make position for many more. He Is bitterly opposed to what he designates as the combine form ed by the association for selfish pur poses, trying to "freeze out" those who have opinions of their own. Boycott Statred. A complete boycott is now started against the mills, and many painters, glaciers and others' connected with the building trades will bfc-tuiied oft any and all Jobs where any attempt is made to use any of the unfair product, Quite a number of painters and glaziers quit today on this account. New Planing Mill. A meeting will be held tomorrow night at 7 o'clock In the Painters' Hall by the Building Trades Council for the purpose of perfecting plans for the early starting of the new planing mill which the sev eral unions have under contemplation. It is to be known as the Building Trades Co-operative Planing Mill Company, and will represent a capitalization of $50,000. The pnr value of shares has been plac ed at $10 each, and no pne will be al lowed the privilege of subscribing "tor more than 20 shares of stock. The officers of the Building Trades are In receipt of an offer from 8. L. Brown, of the Portland Cigar Box Factory to the effect that he will contribute $25,000 to the project of putting In a planing mill here If the unions will raise a sim ilar amount for the same purpose to be run Jointly by htm and the unions. This offer has been rejected, as the men are desirous of establishing a co-operative concerned in which no one will own a controlling interest, but from which all will share equally from any profits that may accrue. f Master Builders Meet. At their meetings yesterday the mem ber of the Master Builders' Association adopted me following resolutions: Owing to the action of the union in declaring that all mill and finishing ma terial must bear the stamp of the union, otherwise they will not handle it, therefore, . be it Resolved, That we, the Master Build ers of the City of Portland refuse to resume work under theae conditions, but that we are ready to commence opera tions with men who will handle mill or finishing materials from whatever source It may come.
