"All this could and baa been done

of funds. But still shorter of men
We have called meeting after meet
lnr, where matters of extreme im
portance were to be considered, havi
spent hours and hours notifying
members and endeavoring to secun
their attendance, only to have twc
or three respond to our call. A suc
cessful Chamber of Commerce can
not be operated In such a manner.
If the best work Is tc be done Hi
aiembers must respond to meeting
rails and must take an interest In tin
affairs brought before the- chamber
Had the members of this body been
present at the meetings where thU
campaign was discussed, our pres
ent difficulty would not have oc
curred, and now tonight, when thos
who have opposed our work have
aucceeded, they are absent and do
rot offer suggestions as to how tc
continue. At the present time the
progress wo have made has brough:
us to the point where we need a
great deal more money. We must
. have fundi or else quit completely.
We are doing so much and leaving
so much undone that should we fail
t keep going forward we must stor
short. To raise more funds we miw
have a campaign of some sort. Our
campnlgn has failed, we can do noth
ing more. If there is a way out then
rersonally I Btnnd ready to do any
thing within my power to assist and
co-opemte."
"It la no more than fair to Mr.
Feinllne that we accept' his resigna
t!on," Sir. McCllntock said In mak
ing the motion of acceptance. "When
a man has given his whole time and
energy, when he has made a supreme
effort to put over what he believed
to be beat for the organization and
for the city, and has met with suca
opposition as has been brounh;
against Mr. Helnline, It Is only right
that we should allow him to' resign,
but'lt la with great reluctance that
T make this motion." Mr. Helnline
tas served this Chamber of Com
merce for years and during that
time has not only given his time but
also his money to the work. He has
been paid a salary of $50 a month
and he has added to this and turned
It ovpr to a stenographer. He ha3
wrved without hope of remunera

the Chamber of Commerce just the

I express the sentiment of all pres

new officers propose thai will In any
way benefit the Chamber of Com
merce they will flr.d all of us ready
snd willing to co-orerate with them.
V'e may be through insofar as cur

Committee of Public Welfare
Takes Up the Task
In New York.
APPOINTED BY WILSON
Many Individuals Volunteer Services
to I'revent Tying Up of the a-
tlou's Industries by Walk
out and Strikes.
By Associated. Press
NEW YORK, May 14. An inves
tigation of the "one big union of citi
zens" idea and Its feasibility In pro
tecting American communities from
possible fuel or food famines during
strikes Is now under way by JO mem
bers o fthe New York State Chain
be rof Commerce, recently appoiuted
by the president of the organization
as a "commltttee on public welfare."
Revolutionary labor upheavals and
strikes designated as "outlaw" walk
outs by union officials and the em
ployment of volunteer Americans in
keeping the channels of communica
tion and transportation open, are the
object, it Is said, of tho chamber's
present Inquiry. The chamber for
several weeks has been listing and
classifying volunteers who, with no
antagoniHin toward unions or parti
san interests in labor quarrels, obli
gate themselves to operate motor
trucks or do any other work neces
sary to keep the nation's commercial
arteries open in times of stress. To
prevent the "tying up and throttling
of whole communities," the commit
tee has received hundreds of re
sponses to blank questionnaires
specifying the ability and equipment
of the various volunteers. Their oc
cupation, home addresses and tele
phone numbers, together with other
similar data, are In possession of the
committee which, in time of crisis,
may be utilized.
The chamber at a recent meeting
authorizing the appointment of the
committee by President Alfred E.
Marling, passed resolutions in which
It said that "civilization Is now men
aced by false and distorted and bo
lllical Ideas and the public welfare
demands that" the men and women of
the nation, who hold to high Ideals
of personal and political conduct,
v.-ho believe In sound economic prin
ciples and in constitutional govern
ment, shall undertake more resolute
ly to fulfill their civic duties." The
resolution further declared that "the
structure of government and society
as a whole" was lmporllled by the
Interruption of the normnl channels
of communication and public service
due to "an irresponsible minority of
the population of the United States."
It further stated that the duties of
the committee on public welfare
should be to draw up "a plan of or
ganization and co-operation whereby
the publicwuay, by volunteer service,
aid in maintaining tho uninterrupted
use of public utilities and assist the
duly constituted authorities in pre
serving law and order."
Many Interesting letters accom
panied the applications of volunteers.
A doctor- who formerly was a tele
siraph operator offered his services
in any capacity for "the maintenance
of social equilibrium against the re
bellious and misled small minority."
He said "that the movement de
served the support of all right-minded
citizens who. are the backbone or
tho country."
A Russian refugee, a major-general
in tho former Russian army,
"who has suffered the loss of every
thing I possessed through the Bol
r.hevikl," said he felt In duty bound
to offer his services. He wrote: "I
am perfectly familiar with the bo
ginning of the Holshevtkl movement
In Russia which started, as you
know, with strikes, uprisings and
ihe curtailment cf food. I know
thoroughly the Bolshevists of other
countries as well as Russia and their
methods and, since I am the gucsi.
ot America and everybody has been
so very kind to me. I wish to do all
In my power to help America."
A man. a consultlns engineer. 6T
years old. In "fair health and vigor."
wrote: "I am fully In sympathy
with your apparent theory that the
way to combat 'outlaw' or even 'In
law' labor obstructions to public act
ivities is to develop a strong and
widespread sentiment among the
! masses of right-minded citizens
! against such labor disturbances. Also
i that "the best way to develop this
I sentiment among right-thinking peo-
pie Is to permit them to take part In
! combatting lawlessness and to aid
I In the carrying on of public aciivl
! ties which may be interrupted by
labor disturbances."
A lawyer wruia enrolling hi name
"as a member of your organization
v hlch has for its purpose tho preser
vation of the national life. No other
country," he added, "'gives to Its
I citizens and others so large an
'. f.mount of freedom and privilege an
does America, yet many of those
i within our borders fail to appreci-
ate that with liberty also comes re
I sponsiblllty toward qthers. It is
I high time that the true American
; citizen awakens to the conditions
thit threaten and rallies to the sup
port of law and order."
The committee on public welfare
In expected to make a report of Its
I investigations and progress In the
I near future.

else for your mohair. Ask me for

GAS SHORTAGE
IS e SEROUS
B. L. Hyland of Standard Oil
Says They Are Trying to
Supply Farmers.
ALL MUST CONSERVE
Should He the Duty of Every Mo
torist to Curtail tho fo of the
Fuel Which Is So Scarce
at TliU Time.
' The gasoline shortage in nose
burg and Douglas county is assnm
lng serious proportions, accord nK
to B. L. Hyland, managor of the
local agency of the Standard 01
Co.. who has beer trylwf dV "'
night to secure additional shinmnts
of the fuel to this section and has
only partially succeeded. Late to
day the shortage became quio acme
and several of the pu-nplng stations
wepe closed as a result. Howcvvr,
Roseburg Is not the only ci'y iu if-"
state suffering from the shortar.e.
Virtually every part of tho stau
faces the same situation nl Hood
river has only received one car load
of gnsollne which the o'f'clals tay
must- last the residents of -bat sec
tion three weeks. The stoc of gas
oline in the Coos Bay tc win has
cal agency yesterday distributed
practically been depleted. The lo
i small amount of (ttsollni to l"cl
stations from the sh-pm i.it rcMlved
f-om Wyoming. Mr. Hylmd r elv
d word today that two cars nre en
route here and should arrive to
morrow wh'.eh will be goad n.iwa ro
he many farmers thro'ifi'ion'. th
county who are at tho present ti n '
um.Me to wo-k with the'.r traders
and hnndle their crops.
"We ecclve many pitiful appeaU
for assistance." said Mj. Hyland thin
-fternoon. "We'are dol l? our I"1
best to supply the farmers and' oth
ers who must have the product to
conduct their businesses. One farm
er has written us for gasoline say
ing that he Is over 60 years of age
and that a mortgage Is hanging over
h'is farm. In order to meet the pay
ments It Is virtually necessary thai
he operate his tractor and put in
his crops. Such appeals only go to
show why those operating pleasure
cars should conserve and psslst us
In stretching out the supply. Pre
ference will be given farmers who
demand gasoline for operating sprav
rigs and tractors. Yesterday 267
tourists In autos passed through
Roseburg. Nearly everyone df these
cars filled nn with gasoline here,
stating that It was Impossible to get
any at Eegene. I would suggest that
local stations only supply the Rose
burg trade Such action would make
It possible for ns to hnndle the sit
uation more easily. We have tele
phoned to Portland and San Fran
cisco numerous times within the last
few days but get no satisfaction and
It Is up to every one to save the
gas in the face of a more serious
shortage.
"It has been intimated In case
other o-ll companies could como In
here the situation would be cleared
up. I can only say that we wnuM
only be too glad for them to come
In. It would relieve matters ereatljv
Tt Is for that selfsame reason that
Medford has plenty of gasoline, but
they have already started to cur
tail the sale of tt here. Northern
California Is also affectod. Our
Ix.i.ks and records at thli station
will show any person In do'lbt ns to
whether or not we have a supply on
hand. Those doubting the fait that
we ore short can call and Insprct
our tanks The demand u;?oeds
tho supply In every Instance"
