Portland Capitalists Merging For
Fight TO Finish.
100000 FOR THE PURPOSE
Grainhandlers' Strike at the Bottom Of
the Movement-It Is Drawing Too
Many Side Lines Into tide
precate An Idle Winter.

PORTLAND, Oct. o0.--To fight gen
eral walkout In Portland Of the unions
affiliated with the Water Front Fed
Grafton and Others that might be drawn
into the controversy between the grain
handlers and exporters through the
Federated Trades Council, and to deal
a death blow TO such organizations, a
fund Of 100000 Is being raised. 1t il
said to be the beginning of a war to
the finish In this city between capita
and labor,
Various interests which might be
concerned in such a general overthrow
Of union organizations as has been
threatened In the event the trouble on
the front il not settled shortly, have
rallied to the support OF the exporters
Some firms are reported to have sub
scribed individually to the extent OF
$4,000, and II the first fund should be
exhausted more Ia to be provided, ac'
cording to the understanding entered
into. This scheme has been growing
several days and 1t is the unanimity OF
opinion among the employers concerned
that II unionism is to be fought, no
time Ia better than the present,
The feeling has been growing stron-
ger as the fight on the docks contin-
ues, because 1t has reached out to en-
velope so many lines other than the
grain exporters. Loggers have been
drawn in, owing to the danger Of mills
shutting down, through the action Of the
longshoremen in placing lumber export.
ers on the unfair list. If the mills
were forced to close, II would conse-
quently force the shutdown Of numer'
GUS logging camps along the Columbia,
On the other hand, the cessation Of OPP
erations by the mills would work a
hardship on contractors in preventing
supplies Of lumber being delivered, and
as It is commonly reported some orders
are two and three weeks behind, the
prospect Of an idle winter was not
faced without determination to strike
back strongly. H.

Thief Apprehended Two Years
After Crime.
FROM EUROPE TO THE PRISON
Romance and Mystery Surround Career
Of Former Portland Confidential
Man Wanted For Grand
Larceny. y.

PORTLAND, Oct. 20.-Two years
ago j. T. Thompson robbed his em-
ployer, aBillya Winters, proprietor Of
the Log Cabin saloon, on Third street,
of diamond jewelry and money aggre-
eating $l,50O in value and fed by night.
He might forever have escaped detec-
tion had it not been that few days
ago he visited a girl at San Antonio,
Texas, with whom he is infatuated, and
was seen and recognized by ]. M. Heal
ey Portland travelling man, who
caused his arrest.
Since that time the wires have been
kept hot between San Antonio and
Portland. The most peculiar feature OF
the affair is that While District Attor-
ney Manning filed an information
against Thompson shortly after his
flight and has been in conference with
Winters since the arrest of Thompson
at San Antonio, he Is said to have rep
resented to Chief of Police Gritzmacher
that he knows of no person named
Thompson who Is wanted here for dia-
mond robbery, and word to that effect
has been sent the police of San An.
tonic BY the head Of the Portland de-
partment.
Thompson was employed as bartender
at the Log Cabin saloon, and had served
in that capacity for some time when
he committed the larceny. He had been
treated well by Winters, and before ne
was ON his feet financially had been
rendered assistance by his employer
The bartender had access to the safe
in which Winters keeps his coin and
valuables, and one night on closing the
saloon took a diamond ring, diamond
craft pin, other jewelry with the same
precious stones and some money and
left the city. A complaint was filed
by. Winters, the information being
drawn in the District Attorneys office
and the police sent circulars to many
cities in the effort to locate him.
IT appears that after leaving here,
Thompson went to Chicago and has
since travelled in Canada, Europe and
Mexico. Some time ago he secured
position with large fashionable club
at Mexico City.
