the program now decided upon tne
platform will go to the convention
late tbii afternoon, and after adop
tion, It la "tated, a night aeaalou
might be called for nominating
speeches. '
' Johnson Pleased.
Senator Johnson declared this af
ternoon that In the contest over tho
league of nations seotlon of the plat
form, the "first assault of interna
tionalism and the Internal banknrt
of the republican party has been met
and defeated." It had been charged
by the Borah and Johnson group that
the Crane league plank "had Its birth
In Wall street." There would be a
second aasault by the same forces.
Johnson stated, with the object of
nominating their candidate, which he
"hoped would be met and" defeated,"
but he added that If reports on the
platform decision were correct, it
would not now be necessary to carry
the league flcht to the convention
floor. '
. I Completing Details.
The entire personnel of the reso
lutions committee met this afternoon
to complete the final draft of the
platform, which It Is alleged will be
ready for presentation to the conven
tion at 4 o'clock.
Acceptable to Everybody.
A league of nations plank, declare,!
by leaders to be acceptable to every
body, was unanimously adopted late
today by the republican resolutions
sub-committee, apparently ending all
threat of a party split over the
league of nations issue.
The Leattue Flank.
The Root plank to the platform Is
summarized by a member of the
sub-committee . as follows: -""The
lilank Is a direct condemnation of
the action of the nresident both In
Ills negotiation of the treaty of peace
and the league of nations, and In his
Insistence upon Its acceptance with
out change by the senate. It Is a
complete ratification of the- action
of the republican senators, without
distinguishing between either group.
'It pledges the country to a continu
ation of the policies -of Washington,
Madison and Monroe, and also to
the fulfillment of all its internatlon-
ol obligations by establishment of
International courts for the promul
gation of rules of International law
and conduct, and suggests that fu
ture wars be made. Impossible by es
tablishment of laws and agreements
whereby all International contro
versies mayb3 settled by interna
tional agreements. The plank made
ao mention of disarmament. The
league of nations Is not specifically
mentioned."
liallotinic RegltM Frtilay.
CHICAGO. June 10. When the
republican national convention re
sumed session late this afternoon,
an agreement was pending, said to
have the approval of managers of
the
various factions, to dispose of
the platform report and then ad
journ until 9 o'clock tomorrow morn
ing, with the understanding that all
nominating speeches and balloting
would be finished before the conven-
uon aajoumea again.
There had been plans to run un
der forced tension tonight, and be
sides disposing of the platform prob
lem to finish all nominating speeches
and take one ballot before adjourn
ment of the night session. Frank
H. Hitchcock, field marshal for the
Wood forces, objected to this plan
because he said be expected Wood"
to poll his minimum of votes on the
first ballot, and he did not want the
balloting stopped at that Juncture.
Only One DlwuMiter.
CHICAGO, June 10. The treaty
plank as adopted by the resolutions
committee had only one vote against

Has Ten Pay Time.
WASHINGTON, June 10. Attorney-General
Palmer has issued an In
formal ruling to the effect that the
chief executive has ten days after
the adjournment of congress in
which to sign bills and resolutions.
This ruling may change the status of
a number of measures which the
president killed by the "pocket
veto," explaining that he had not had
time to consider them. These meas
ures include the water power bill, al
so the resolution repealing most war
time legislation. .

The' Rupert cannery of this city
will start Its sesson June 2oth. ac
cording to A. J. Geddes. the locsl
manager. The equipment is now
being put In shape for tbe summer's
run and the employes have been In

iolh. The cannery will start opera
tion on cherries and .will then take
up the canning of loganberries and
other fruits will follow in rapid suc

pected to make this year the largest
one in the history of the cannery
from the standpoint of output. '
It Is believed that the output this
year will be at least 60 per cent
larger than last season, which at that !
time set the record for production.
Contracts secured on fruit guaran
tee that the cannery will be kept In
operation throughout the entire
season and It is expected that the
full and entire shift will be kept at
work during the canning months.
"We are in a better position this
year than last season." Mr. Geddes
stated, "for last year we started late
and were forced to do many things
that should have been taken care of
during the winter and early spring,
but this season we have matters well
in hand and are ready to start with a
rush. The equipment will not be
materially Increased at this time but
we are In better shape for a larger
output for we will not be forced to
wait for cars or use any part of our

have our large warehouse under con
struction and expect that it will be
ready for use within 60 days. We
will then be able to pack our fruit
and store It under- Ideal conditions
until such a time as it can be ship

"We are assured of a sufficient
amount of fruit to guarantee a SO

PRIZE WINNERS ANNOUNCED.
The prise winners in the essay con
test recently conducted In the local
schools by the Associated Industries
of Oregon have been announced by
Mrs. J. W. Perkins, head of the local
"Made in Oregon" committee. They
are entirely from the Benson school,
owing to the fact that no other
school In the city submitted essays to
the committee. Much credit is due
Prof. Gusten and the pupils who
wrote, for the Interest taken In the
Sttbject. which should he of Interest
to all those who are Interested In
Oregon made products and the wel
fare of our Industries. The prize
winners were: Leonore Godfrey, first
nrlze: Evelyn Craig, second prize;
Edith Long, third prize, nnd Hubert
Oilinore, fourth prize. The judging
was done hy school officials In th!
city and the results forwarded to A.
G. Clarke, of Portland, manager of
the Associated Industries nf Oregon.
The prize consisted entirely of Ore
gon made garments, sweaters, silk
waists, and other articles. The sub
ject on which the manuscripts were
written was: "Why we should buy
Oregon made products."
SEED IS OI1TAINAIU.K.
One of the problems facing the
farmers Is the securing of some for
age plant that furnishes a reasonable
amount of feed and which j"an be
seeded on the hill land.- One of the
most promising crops Is bur clover.
This is a winter annual with the
ability to re-seed Itself and make
j"splendld pasture during the winter
and early spring. The difficulty
j heretofore has been the securing of
, sufficient seed, as the plant grows
close to the ground and the seeds are
very difficult to harvest. The county
agent has received quotations on this
seed from several firms In California,
but Ihe supply is limited. Those de
siring lo sow the seed should send In
their orders at once.

candidacy for president of the stale
senate in the 1921 session. Having
been renominated as senator for
Douglas county without opposition,
he does not Intend waiting u lit II af

He does not wish to give names, but

During the day Mr. Eddy had a
little confab with Gub C. Moser, but
whether he solicited the support of
the Multnomah senator is not stated.
Anyway, Mr. Moser Is not tied to the
Eddy camp, even -though part of his

Mr. Moser, it Is rumored, would, like

fences for the position before the law
was passed or even considered.

'AMERICAN LEGION
AND LABOR UNIONS
Official Publication Urges All
Members Eligible to at
Once Join Legion.
COMMEND SERVICE MEN
1 -eg Un Take No Sides In- Labor
VirtlHi llelieve in (ha Kn
furceineiit of Law and Or
der at 'All Times.
For the benefit of the comparative-
ly few isolated communities in which
here is a noticeable tendency to
give credence, to misinformation em
anating chiefly from the ranks of
alien agitators aud other enemies of
100 per cent Americanism, It is
deemed advisable to refer to an edi
torial In "The Chronicle," Cincinnati,
Ohio, official organ of the Ohio Cen
tral Labor counril and "local voice
of the American Federation of La
bor." '
In Its Jssue of May 29th, 1920.
this publication quotes the preamble
to the constitution of The American
Legion, aud adds:
"The above is the preamble to the
constitution of The American Legion
and to our lnlnds it clearly sets forth
a principle that every true Ameri
can, wnetner he be a world war vet
eran or not, can consistently sub
scribe to.
"Recently an International officer,
returning from a state conference lo
Cincinnati gave vent to the expres
sion that the members of his Inter
national union would not be allowed
to Join The American Legion. This
to our mind Is baby play. The attt
tude of The American Legion to
ward organized labor in the state of
Ohio, and locally as well, has been
clearly defined and has been ap
proved of by the Central Ijibor Coun
ell. It Is claimed that at least 40
per cant of the boys who went to
France and across the water were
trade unionists. . If this is true, then
the proper thing for them to do
would be to Join . The American
Legion, and then they would be In
a position. If ever the occasion arose
when there would be a criticism of
'he labor movement, they could he
of service by explaining our real pur-
noses, thereby eliminating some of
the antagonism to us which comes
from misunderstanding only. There
need be no fear by the trade union
'sts of The American legion. We
believe that they are right and that
they are fair, especially their lead
ers, and as we said above, we would
recommend to every trade unionist
who Is eligible to membership that
he can best protect "his Interest and
the Interest of the wage earner by
getting In line, and place himself
where he properlv belongs."
In this connection the following
excerpts from a recent letter of
Franklin P'Oller, tbe Legion's na
tional commander, to Thomas Gold
Ingay. state adjutant of New Jersey,
appear appropriate:
"The American Legion has taken
a very positive stand that, as an or
ganization. It should never tnke any
definite part In any dispute between
the emplover or the emplove, or be
tween capital and labor. This policy
should be sdhered to strictly by the
la'lonal organization, state organi
sations and bv the posts ss well.
"In any such controversy, the In
terest of the Legion Is confined to
that of the maintenance of law and
order and without taking nnrt on
either side. In case the situation
should arise where life and property
nre endangered, it Is the dutv of a
member of The American Legion to
nerform Its full dutv as s citizen,
according to his own conscience and
ils own understanding. Because of
his mflltarv service. Ihe ex-service
nan has vcr" ken sense of his
resnonslhllltv. Therefore, in rase
of s contingency as nbove outlined.
It is his dutv to assist in the mainte
nence of law nnd order bv acting as
n Individual and ocerlng his ser
vices to the dnlv constituted author
ttv for the maintenance of law and
order.
