The most important legal victory
In the prosecution of Joe Laundy,
I W. W. organizer, under the crim
inal syndicalism act, was won by the
state yesterday, when Circuit Judge
Belt upheld the contention of District
Attorney Evans that he had a right
. to bring into evidence testimony con
cerning activities of the Industrial
Workers of the World in the state of
Washington to aid in the proof of
the general character of the organi
zation in which Laundy was a mem
ber in Oregon.
"There are two aspects to be con
sidered in this case," commented
Judge Belt after listening for nearly
two hours to arguments by Attor
new George F. Vanderveer, District
Attorney Kvans and Deputy District
Attorney Bernard.
Needed Proof Outlined.
First, the state is required to show
that Joseph Laundy became a mem
ber of, helped to organize or volun
tarily assembled with the I. W. W.
Second, the state must prove that the
I V. W. as an organization violates
the criminal syndicalism act by ad
vocating violence -in effecting indus
trial or political ends. The acts of
Joseph Laundy must have been in
Mu,ltnomah county, state of Oregon,'
if he is to be prosecuted nere. mere
Is no Question about that.
"The question of the character and
nature of the organization is inci
dental to the trial of Laundy, but I
do not believe that In determining
these things the prosecution is bound
to consider only such testimony con
cerning the I. W. W. as may be found
within this state.
Illiwtratlon Is Given.
"To illustrate my position: If ten
men combined to commit a crime, but
half of them lived in Washington and
the other half in Oregon and part
of their acts were committed in each
state, it is elemental that a con
spirator could be charged in Oregon
only for crimes committed within this
state. But what took place in Wash
ington in connection with this samei
conspiracy would be competent evi
dence. "Therefore the motion of counsel
for the defense to strike froVi the
records all testimony and evidence
concerning acts of the I. W. W. in the
state of Washington will be denied
and an exception- allowed.'!
Though much literature was found
in a raid on the local I. W. W. hall,
"the more Inflammatory of the docu
ments introduced in evidence were
circulated by the organization in the
state of Washington within the past
vsar. according-to-the- testimony or
witnesses for the state. This refutes
the contention of the defense that
only mild, innocuous pamphlets have
been distributed by the I. w. w
nince 1917. none of which advocate
tabotage or violence.
Police Sergeants Testify.
T. K. Mitchell and Alexander Mc
Donald, police sergeants of Spokane,
Wash., were witnesses called by the
state yesterday to testify concerning
recent I. W. W. activities in that

APPEAL MADE TO LEGION
SUPPORT ASKED FOR HIGHER
EDCCATIOX MILL AGE.
Service 3Icn Declared Likely to Be
Greatest SulTercrs If Measure
Is 'ot Adopted.
A strong pica for support from the
rank and file of the American Legion
in Oregon for the, higher educational
relief bill was made by v unam u.
T.v.ii.tt rienartment commander, at a
meeting of the state executive com
mittee at the university ciud yester
day noon.
"Former service men will suffer in
evltablv next fall," sa'd Mr- Follett,
"if the University of Oregon and Ore
gon Agricultural college have to turn
away 2000 or more students, as will be
the case if the bill docs not pass on
Slay 21.
"There are now about 1500 former
service men at the two institutions
and next fall many more are expected.
The number of full-time students at
the two institutions is more than S000
and in September will go up still
higher. .
"The university and agricultural
college are equipped and. financed,
however, to train only a fraction of
that number. Their attendance Is two
and one-half times as great as it was
when the present mlllage support was
passed In 1913. whereas their income
from that millage has increased less
than 4 per cent. Moreover, the rise
in costs has reduced the buying power
of their income to less than one-half
what it was.
"I am hoping that the posts
throughout the state will, give a
strong indorsement by formal resolu
tion to this relief bill, which is known
as the higher educational tax act and
which provides 1.26 mills for the fur
ther support of the university, college
and normal school. It means much to
our comrades."
Rogers MacVeagh was named chair
man of the Americanism committee of
the Oregon department. He is to
cooose the committee members after
consultation with Commander ollett.
Mr. MacVeagh already is a member of
the national committee on American
Ism. . Commander Follett announced that
he had written Representative Haw
ley, thanking him for his expression
of support of the American Legion
bill now before the ways and means
committee, of which he Is a mem
ber. This Is the four-option adjust
ment of compensation bill.

doing her level best to make the
Manchester building clubrooms at
tractive for the Canadians and their
women friends. Regular weekly
dances will be a feature of the social
life of the club as soon, as the Lenten
season is over.
With a record of nearly 40 years
in the British service Alfred J. Hall,
secretary-manager of the Canadian
Veterans' association clubrooms in
the Manchester building, has one of
the most interesting military careers
of any Portalnd resident. Hall, who
first enlisted with "The Buffs" in
18S2, has just taken charge of the
Maple Leaf veterans' headquarters,
where his wife, Mrs. Helen A. Hall,
is also serving as matron.
In 1884 Hall went tto Malta with
the 1st battalion of "The Buffs," to
the Malay Peninsula at Singapore in
1SS5, Hongkong in 1SS6 and to India
in 1887 for a long ten-year term. In
the South African war Hall was
wounded three times and wears the
King and Queen's South African and
long service ribbons.
During the late war he was a
staff sergeant-major, Canadian army
service corps, engaged as a drill
master for three years. He had the
unique experience of drilling 250
Japanese volunteers and also a com
pany of Fiji Islanders. He has had
great deal of experience with vet
eran organizations and is a charter
member of the Vancouver branch of
the army and navy veterans.
Mr. Hall is anxious to get in touch
with any Portland residents who are
in sympathy with his work in again
placing the soldiers in their civilian
life positions and invites the co-operation
of British or Americans who
would like to assist In this work
Any man who has served under the
British flag in any campaign is eligi
ble to join the Portland association
and others can join as associate
members.
Mrs. Hall was one of the founders
of the famous Kitchener league of
Vancouver and is credited with knit
ting more than 300 pairs of socks for
the boys at the front.
DIVIDED' SESSION URGED
Topic Taken- Up at Weekly Meeting
i of Oregon Civic League.
The question of a divided session
of the state legislature, as was
recently adopted in California and is
being urged in some quarters for this
state, was discussed at the regular
weekly luncheon and meeting of the
Oregon Civic league yesterday noon
at the Benson hotel, a debate upon
the subject being staged. David Mor
rison upheld the affirmative while
D. C. Lewis took the negative.
Under the proposal the legislature
would meet for a stipulated period
for preparation and first passage of
bills. Then a recess would take place.
during which time, it is argued, the
public would have an opportunity to
study the measures. Then there
would be a final short session in
which bills would be voted upon, but
no new matter could be taken up.
Following the debate, there was a
general discussion. Milton A. Miller
was also a speaker, his topic being,
"By the Light of History, More Op
timism Is Needed."

Take SHOES for Instance
First there is the Leather
Baron, who exacts his toll in lib
eral amounts. One leather con
cern alone, the Central Leather
Company, earned (?) a profit ex
ceeding $14,000,000 in 1919. Then
comes the manufacturer and job
ber with profits that were un
dreamed of a few years ago. And
last, but not always least, the
retailer comes in for his.
It's but a few years ago that
Shoes sold on a margin of 75c to
$2 a pair, the highest grades sold
seldom showing a margin of over
$2. But TODAY a margin of $3
to $8 is the rule. Of course,
everybody realizes that on ac
count of increased expenses it is
necessary to charge higher prices
than formerly. BUT - should
they be so MUCH higher? We
think NOT.
HERE'S THE TROUBLE
Owing to an almost never
changing basis of figuring prof
its in PERCENTAGE instead of
DOLLARS, the margin increases
in too great a ratio. For instance:
Take a $5 Shoe in the old days
selling at a profit of 40 showed
a margin of $2. Today the same
shoe selling at $15 on a 40 basis
yields a profit of $6, to oil the
way. The cost of doing business
has not trebled, has it?, NO !

the mill men. The report continues:
Production for the week ended
March 20 reached the total of 89,702,
784 feet at the 126 mills reporting to
the association. This was only 1,490,
216 feet or 1.63 per cent below normal.

car supply also promptea me mum
in accepting a greater proportion of
the business offered them than has
been their practice in- the last few
months, with the result that orders
booked for the week at the 126 mills
aggregated 77,736,393 feet.
Total shipments for the week were
88,467,349 feet, of which 72,810,000
feet, or 24-27 cars, moved by rail. The
