out of All Employees in New York
and Jersey City Is Ordered.
New York, March fS.--Drivers and
helpers of the Adams, United States
and Wells-Fargo Express companies in
New York city and Jersey City have
struck in obedience to a general strike
order issued in Jersey City. Employees
of the American and National Express
companies reported for work as usual
but leaders of the strikers declared
they expected them to join the walk
out.
The strike will involve upward oi
5000 men and affect many others.
The strike started several days age
with the men of the Adams company
who complained OF alleged discrim1na
tion against certain employees involved
in the gene al strike last fall.
1t was believed Thursday that set
tlement of the difficulty between the
Adams men and the company was il
prospect through the promise of The
leaders that the men would return t.
work pending discussion of settlement
terms which Mayor Gaynor had prom
ised to bring about.
This plan, however, was overturned
at meeting of delegates of the EN-
ployes of the various companies il
Jersey City, when it was decided no
only to keep the Adams men out, bu
to extend the strike sympatheticall.
to the men of the other companies.

HUBBARD LIONIZED
BY PORTLANDERS

Ebert Hubbard, Roycroft philoso-
pher. who will lecture Monday evening
in the Heilbronner Hall is the center
of an attentive crowd of members and
would-be members of his Philistine
flock this week in Portland where he
is appearing at the Orpheum in his
characteristic heart to heart talk.
Yesterday M. Hubbard was the guest
of honor at an Ad Club luncheon and
this afternoon he is to be entertained by
the Press Club. The fact that he is
editing his magazines at long range and
number of other labors keeping him
busy made it impossible for him to
accept an invitation to speak to the
Portland High School.
The appearance of Mr.. Hubbard in
Hood River is attracting wide spread
attention and large crowd is expected
Monday evening when he speaks on
the subject of "The March of The
Centuries" Parties are coming from
Mosier, The Dalles, Underwood and
White Salmon besides all parts of the
valley to hear and see the Fra.
In speaking of the appearance of
Hubbard at the Portland Orpheum, the
Oregonian said:
"Vinci, vidi, vici" might with all
propriety be written after the name of
the Elbertus at the Orpheum this week.
Naturally there are several other
things on the bill-of-fare but the bard
from Fast Aurora takes home the
cakes.
When the slender gentleman with the
ITATN hat To-
fitting clothes walked onto the boards
everybody exclaimed to his neighbor,
why he's just like other folks !"
But he isn't: tnat is, in the conversa-
tion, he hands out. No review of his
act could give an estimate of what this
modern phiistine says, or how he says
it. His act is a monologue made up of
straight -from-the Aurora factory Hub
bardisms of wisdom, and semi-wisdom,
with generous sprinkling of humor.
Some of it is so subtle that it took even
an Orpheum audience several minutes
to get the point yesterday,
But Fra ElbCrtus is nothing if not
kindly disposed. Take your time on
that one, he said in several instances
when the laugh came on the Install
ment plan. Many new stories, told in
chatty. pleasant way interspersed
the main talk, which was an advoca-
tion for a better standard of morals
and citizenship.
Think, work, laugh and play and
love all you cam" is Hubbard pre-
scription, which, if followed, he says,
will lead to ultimate happiness and
success. He calls his act "Heart-to-
heart talks with my flock" The flock
Monday liked the heart stuff" very
much and the Fra was brought back
several times. still talking.

which the Oregon Apple Co. is offering
to the public, $32, 600 has already been
subscribed. The company has had
three agents working IN the east and
five here in the west. However, con-
sideriug the short time the stock has
been on the market, their sales show
that the public has been eager to seize
on the proposition offered. The com
