THE SUNDAY OKEGOXIAX, PORTLAND, NOVEMBER 1G. 1919. 3 125 LUMBER MILLS Continued Brisk Demand for Rail Shipments Expected. RECORD WEEK REPORTED Western Washington and Western Oregon Operation Prospects for Winter Are Good. "Demand for lumber, especially for rail shipments, now is well under way amonp the mills in western Washing ton and western Oregon and gives every prospect of continuing with in creased proportion through the re mainder of the winter, according to the weekly statement of the West Coast Lumbermen's association. The 125 mills contributing to the report of the association accepted or ders last week for 6.447,843 feet more than they can actually cut. Inquiries from all over the country are re ported brisk and the sales movement that usually sets in along about the first of the year appears to be mak ing good progress already.. The sum ma ry continues: Week's BnMineMM Heavy. The aggregate volume of new busi ness accepted at the mills for the week was 88,802,079 feet the heaviest for more than four months. Most of this was for rail delivery. The rail orders alone were enough to fill ti06 cars. The- prevailing car shortage pre vented the mills from keeping their shipments on a level with their new business. The rail movement for the week was only 1495 cars 1111 cars less than the rail orders. The mills now have an aggregate of 8723 cars of unfilled rail orders on their books. No immediate relief from the car shortage is in prospect, say the mill men, although more cars probably will be available toward the first of the year. ' Cargo Orders Continue Good. Cargo orders, too, continue in good volume, the total for the week being in excess of 6.000,000 feet. Most of this is for domestic delivery. The industry is running on nearly a capacity basis, production at 125 mills for the week reaching 82.354,236 feet an average of 65 8,834 feet per mill. The normal production at this same group of mills was 87,555,000 feet, so the actual was within 6 per cent of the normal. It protects American citizens in their property rights under decisions of the alien property custodian. This leaves but two committee res-; ervations, Nos. 14 and 15. Number 3 4 is one in which the United States declines to interfere, or participate in th3 disposition or government of Ger many 'o former overseas possessions. There is likely to be some republican opposition to this reservation, butniot sufficient to defeat it Number 15 is the Reed blanket pro viso designed to scuttle the treaty. It will be defeated by the vote of all the democrats but three or four and all of the mild reservation republicans. There are approximately 50 indi vidual reservations to be considered after this committee programme in disposed of Monday, but a vote on the resolution of ratification should come by Wednesday or Thursday at the latest. President's Attitude Problem. Then the question which arises is, will president Wilson accept the treaty? It was declared by two or three of the leading Washington newspaper correspondents today that President Wilson will spurn the doc ument as it appears likely to come tout of the senate, but both of them admitted they had no late informa tion from the White House. They were only basing their statements on the president's declarations on , his western tour, particularly his charac terization of the reservation to article 10, "as. a knife thrust to that part of the treaty." Senator Ashurst of Arizona, who has not deserted the administration on a single vote, issued a statement today saying: "The reservations that have .been adopted eviscerate the treaty; they intej.rupt its circulation, paralyze its respiratory organ's, lop off its limbs, and thus the treaty is rendered a useless, hideous hulk, serv ing mankind in no useful capacity whatever. I suppose the treaty wreckers in the senate will now be pleased to see President Wilson go, hat in hand, to Germany, asking her to sign a new treaty." LINN PI0NEER IS DEAD Mrs. Susannah Hale Survived by Four Children. ALBANY, Or.. Nov. 15. .(Special.) Mrs. Susannah Hale, probably the old est person in Linn county, and one of Oregon's earliest pioneers, died last night at her home south of Albany, aged 97 years. She crossed the plains in 1845 and had been a resident of Oregon for 74 years. During most of this time she resided at the family home in the southern edge of Albany. She was a native of North Carolina, and resided in Iowa and then came to Oregon. Children who survive are Judge W. C. Hale of Grants Pass, Mrs. J. D. Burkhart and V. G. Hale of Albany and Mrs. Fred G. Burkhart of Har-rlsburg. BOLSHEVIK LOSS OF Early Rout of Red Forces Is Held Inevitable. YUDENITCH ARMY ACTIVE HDr ID! IDT lDir "HH Our Store Opens at 9 A.M. 1GE SCALE SUBMITTED HIXES JUKES PROPOSAL TO RAILWAY BROTHERHOODS. Increase Provided Would Approxi mate $3,000,000 Monthly Xot so Much as Men Expected. WASHINGTON, Nov. 15. Director General Hines today submitted to representatives of the four rail way brotherhoods an increased wage scale amounting approximately to ?3. 000.000 a month. The proposal, laid before represent atives of the brotherhoods at the closing session of the wage confer ence, was taken under advisement. It was not what the men had asked for, but their answer will be presented to the director-general within the next 10 days, and it was considered likely that they would accept. The increase would affect train men, firerrfen, engineers and conduc tors, but more particularly those em ployed in the slow feiprht train service. There are many other questions af fecting working conditions of train men which have not been decided. These will be the basis for further conferences between the brotherhood heads and members of the director general's staff. Omsk, Capital of All-Russian Gov ernment, Reported Lost by Kolchak Contingent. WASHINGTON-, Nov. 15. The fall of Petrograd to the anti-bolshevik forces Is reported in Swedish circles to be inevitable. The Swedish Red Cross is planning to co-operate with the Red Cross societies of Norway and Den mark when the city falls. HELSIXGFORS, Nov. 15. In the course of the recent offensive by Gen eral Yudenitch his forces captured 12,000 bolsheviki. according to a northwestern army report today. LONDON. Nov. 15. Omsk, capital of the all-Russian government, has been occupied by the Russian bolsheviki, a Moscow official communique received here today asserts. The Kolchak forces, the statement adds, are retreating in an easterly di rection. LONDON. Nov. 15. General Deni kine has given orders for the evacua tion of Kiev, the Ukranian press bu reau announced this afternoon. The Ukranians, It was asserted, had cut Denikine's railway communications with the city. LONDON, Nov. 15. The eastern coast of the Black sea from Yelenz- hik to Sochy has been seized by an insurgent army of 70,000 men operat ing on the rear of the forces of Gen eral Denikine. the anti-bolshevik leader on the southwestern Russian front, according to a wireless dis patch from Moscow. Soviets have been formed, the dispatch adds. The insurgents captured Mariopol 140 miles southeast of Yekaterinoslav; Berdiansk, 45 miles southwest of Mariopol, and Alexandrovsk, 50 miles south of Yekaterinoslav. General Denikine has allotted troops to sup press the ris'ng. SENATE, BRIDLED, ACTIVE (Continued From First Page.) Ik in. King, phelan, Pittman, Smith of Georgia and Thomas of Colorado. On reservation Xo. 6. relating to the Mon roe doctrine. Chamberlain, Kir by, Owen. Thomas and Trammell swung into the majority column with the four other regular democratic sup porters of reservations. One unusual fact was that for prob ably the first time in the history ot this congress every senator was present and voting on most of the questions. The death of Senator Mar tin of Virginia leaves 95 senators and on the cloture rule that number of votes was cast. Again in adopting reservation No. 4, forbidding the United States to accept any mandates for small nations without an act of congress, a vote of 52 to 43 was re corded. No. S Get Big Vote. The highest majority vote was given to reservation No. 5, the vote being 59 t.o 36. All attempts to amend were de feated, with the one exception men tioned, the Hale amendment, which was accepted by Majority Leader Lodge before the question was put to a vote. On reservation No. 7, by which the United States declines to be a party to any controversy between China and Japan, having reference to the disposition of .Shantung, Nelson and McCumber, republicans, joined with the democrats, but five democrats Gore, Reed, Shields, Thomas and Walsh voted with the republicans, assuring adoption by 53 to 41. Reservations numbered S, 9 and 10, giving congress the power to pre scribe methods of appointing mem be of commissions created under the treaty. relatinjto a reparations com mission and freeing the United States from obligation to contribute to any expense in connection with the league or nations without an appropriation of congress, went through with a rush. Constitution Held Violated. Reservation No. 11. covering the limitation of armaments, caused Sen ator Jones of Washington to say that he favored such a reservation because the treaty provision relative to the limitation of armaments was in con tvavention of the United States con st i tut ion. He pointed out that the constitution gives the power to con gress to fix Jie size of the army and navy and asst-rted that these powers cannot be bartered away in a treaty. He said, however, that he tavored re duction of armaments and would like to see it accomplished by some legal method. This reservation commanded seven democratic votes. Some debate was th-eatened with regard to reservation No. 12, but after listening to an explanation of article lti of the peace treaty, toward which this reservation is directed, the oppo sition melted. This reservation per mits nationals of any covenant-break ins: state, as defined in article 16, re siding in the United States or in a country other than that violating the article, to continue their commercial, financial and personal relations with the United States. The economic boycott provided In article 16. it was declare by Sena tors "Wads worth and Gore, might prove a dangerous boomerang to the commerce of this country, both in exporting its surplus products and importing some actual necessities for which we must depend wholly on other countries. Some Reservation Remain. The last reservation adopted to day. No, 13. is not ot wide importance. NAVY MAY TRY SPY CASE New York Officials Cannot-Convict Alleged German Agent. WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.
