members of constabulary to Bridal
Veil late yesterday under Superin
tendent Pray aitr he had received
word from Sheriff Martin T. 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."

least for the present" to his com

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

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

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."

banker's efforts to Induce the "poor

had been futile.

William, "but I like It here and would
not consent.
"I work, dream, read and think.

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.

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."
