Pratt of Multnomah county that the situa tion there had gotten beyond his control. "The police arrived there at 6:20 p. m. yesterday and assembled the 'so-called pickets' and marched them . to Viking park, across the Bandy bridge, and turned them loose." the governor continued. Prohibit Return. "Guards were pla.ed on the bridge and a detail placed there to pro hibit any of these men returning. They were told they could go any direction except back to the mill. The scene of the disorders wsa about. 30 miles from Portland and the men were marched about ten miles." "Cars from the labor temple in Portland carrying more men were stopped at the bridge, the men or dered out and the drivers with empty, cars sent back to Portland. These agitators then were told to shift for themselves. The governor digressed for a mo ment In relating the events of last night by declaring "if they want a showdown, we will give them one and let them know whether they are running the state or hether the con stituted law authority shall prevail. Not Peaceful Picketing. "Such demonstrations are not In cluded m the law permitting peace ful picketing. Pickets at the mill were backed by Jeering mobs. Intimi dating the men who wish to work. The employes of the mill are not on strike, it Is Just a case of Insur rection and a defiance against the law." Reports at the executive office early today were that "all was quiet on the Columbia," the governor added, and that "the situation was well In band." Asked if he meant to 1d "at least for the present" to his com ments that all was quiet, the gov ernor replied: "I mean that the situation will remain well in hand. There will be no further intimidation of men willing to work. Not even one agi tator will be allowed around that plant, or any other place if they show signs of defiance to county and state officials." Suits Viewed Lightly. Suits were reported filed in Port land against the state polios super intendent for damages. The governor considered these suits lightly, de claring all actions were according to law and told Pray he had nothing to worry about. It was stated here a 25.000 suit was filed against Pray. Multnomah county officers last night arrested 237 pickets, but wttn the arrival of the state police no further arrests were made. Union headquarters in Portland declared the arrests were Illegal. Frank Johnson, executive secretary of the Portland Sawmill and Timber Workers' union, declared "we're going to rignt. we've conducted our picket ing according to our own constitu tional rights and according to state law. I'm going to stand on that right." The state law permitting state po lios to intervene In labor disorder went into effect yesterday, but prior to that time, under orders from the governor, the constabulary was used In dispersing mobs at Forest Grove and Tillamook. Conciliators Report. The report of the state board or conciliation, railed into session sev eral weeks ago by the governor, was on the executive's desk today but the governor declared he had not had time to read It. "I have been too busy maintaining law and order to study this report Just now." Martin stated. It will not be released for publication until after he has read the document.

While Andrew W. makes his home In the great By MARBEN oA,HAM lof the treasury himself had known of William's presence only since the death of the late R. B. Mellon, broth er of Andrew, In 1933, but that the banker's efforts to Induce the "poor cousin" to move to a, better home had been futile. "As soon as Andy learned I was here he wanted me to permit him to provide me a, place to live." said William, "but I like It here and would not consent. "I work, dream, read and think. What more could a man want?" Is Writing Genealogy Shortly after the "poor cousin" was found he disclosed he was writ ing a genealogy of the Mellon family and now. after months of work, he says considerable progress has been made. The former secretary of the treas ury Is aware the book Is being pre pared, William says. and. In fact, the millionaire banwer presented the Pittsburgh mansion, seen Hht. William A. p1ne nnav at the Mellon geneaomgy in nts meager little room that looks out upon the ftqualtd Pitts burgh alley, left. PITTSBURGH. (AP) Andrew W. Mellon 'a "poor cousin" hopes his wealthy kinsman will win the income tax suit in which the government charges fraud and seeks 03.089.000. The kindly old man William An drew Mellon paused in his "spring cleaning" of the back-alley abode in which he has made his home for 17 years and said: "I have found my own peace and happiness in obscurity, but I hope Andy wins In his suit." Had No Coal The "poor cousin" is 68 years old and the son of the only brother of the father of the noted banker. He lived virtually unknown in the downtown area which is the heart of the giant financial empire developed by his "rich cousin" until a relief investigator found him without coal almost a year ago. It developed the former secretary "poor cousin" with the typewriter on which he is painstakingly writing the volume. William Mellon years ago was as sociated with the late Judge Thomas Mellon, father of Andrew, but he did not like banking and went west to take part in a mining enterprise. He made cnoslderable money and lost it. He returned to Pittsburgh after the death of his wife, bringing with him numerous old documents and family relics. No Interest in Money He found the tiny tenement home tucked away between Third and Fourth avenues and moved in. The abode can be reached only through a coffee shop on one aide and the basement of a tailoring establish ment on the other. The "poor cousin" eats, works, sleeps and does most of his own laundry in the crude establishment. One corner of his room la his "li brary" and workshop. Outside, the narrow alloy Is lined with empty packing boxes, rusted cans and other waste. On pleasaant days the gray-hnlred man moves his books and papers to one of these boxes and works. While he snys he has no interest in money other than that he doea not want to go in actual want, he keeps up with alt that goes on in the outside world. Of the income tnx suit in which his "wealthy cousin" Is In volved, he says: Sees No Conviction "I don't believe they can convict Andy of fraud. If you look at the cass purely from a legal standpoint, you know the supreme court never has reached such a decision based on in ferences. The government lawyers think they see something but they can't prove it. The "poor cousin" says he has no feeling one way or another about capitalism as such "It is purely a matter of every man deciding what he wants to do and doing It." re declares. "Somf want money; others don't. Big for tunes sometimes break up. float away and melt like a cake of Ice. Maybe the Mellon fortune eventually will do that. I don't know. "I sit here In peace that I could not get anywhere else, and the noisy world goes by. This is home the kind I want. I wouldn't trade it for the best suite in the best hotel."
