ficial association broke negotiations

develop International proportions, as
the Ilritlsh engineer are awaiting

tion. The marine firemen and 'wa

SOX O.N JOKKST PATItOL
(es-lti-vlew Washington liurcwu.)
WASHINGTON April 25 A flnt.sh
fight to cither amend or repeal the
LaFollette seaman act so that Amer
ican shipping can compete with the
merchant marine fleet of the world
will be one of the development!! of
the present congress. Its abolition or
modification so that the cost of oper
ating American ships will not be any
grealer than that of foreign com
petitors means much to the shipping
of the Pacific coast and the ports of
Los Angeles, San Francisco. Seattle
and Portland. Already the tying up
of scores of shipping board vessels
because of British and Japanese com
petition, due to low rates and low
cost of operation has delayed if not
Impaired the development of the U.
8. merchant marine, particularly on
the Pacific coast. While Andrew Fur
seuth is coming on from San Francis
co to lead the fight to keep the La
Follette biN on the statute books In
its present form, the head of the sea
men's union has before him the fight
of his life. Close observers say that
there Is every probability of a modi
fication at least, of the law which
now mnkes the operation of the mer
chant ships of the United States al
most Impossible with scant cargoes
available and a great differential in
favor of foreign owned and operated
ships.
Strange to say. this fight does not
start on either the Atlantic, Gulf or
Pacific coast, but comes from the
Great Lakes, where shipping Inter
ests have always Insisted that the
law was never meant to operate, A
number of embryonic attempts have
been made by the owners and oper
ators of lake vessels to cnange these
laws, hut this time the whole lake
country Is In the collar fighting for
relief. It came about In this way.
Some months ago the great De
troit and Cleveland Navigation com
pany, which for years has operated
steamers to Mackinac Island, an
nounced that this service would be
abandoned this summer. Following on
the announcement now comes anoth
er announcement from all other of
the small lines which were fed by
the D. and C. boats, that they have
also abnndoned their lines. This now
leaves the Mackinac and northern
rexorts without service and many of
the cities of northern Michigan face
a real disaster with the summer,
tourist and resort traffic cut off.
More than -forty of the Chambers of
Commerce of Michigan held a joint
indignation meeting , In Detroit the
other day and the representatives are
now here ready to start the war to
a finish on the I.aJollette law. which
they contend Is the real cause of the
suspension of nil steamship service
to the resorts. This Is but the start
ing point aftd shipping men and the
merchants of the middle west are go
ing to back up the proposition to say
nothing of the ship owners of the
Atlantic, Gulf and Pacific coasts.
They contend that there Is no chance
for American shipping lo compete
with the merchant fleet of the world
as long as the law remains for the
differential forced against the Amer
ican ships Is too great for any cor
poration to overcome.
In congress in both houses there Is
a growing sentiment that the law Is
both expensive, hr.rmful and without
economic justification. Some
Will Johns this morning received
a h-licr from his son Haven Johns,
of the 91st Aero Squadron, located
at Sacramento, saying that he, to
gether with a number of othe avia
tors, will leave S:tcrninento on May
15th. to take up the forest patrol
work In this state, lie will be located
at Eugene, and expects to stop In
this city on his way north for a short

PREDICTS LA KG K ERl'IT CROP
Fred Winston, one of the pioneer
fruit men of the Winston district
made a tour of the orchards in his
vicinity Sunday. He visited the Geo.
Bradburn and Harding Bartlett pear
orchards and found existing condi
tions above the average. He is of the
opinion that the pear crop is assur
ed and out of danger.
While the Italian and silver prunes
are loaded and the fruit la Betting
well, the tree can stand a consider
able drop and still have a record
crop.
Apples, especially Spitzenbergs and
Xewtowns, are one mass of bloom,
hut are hardly far enough advanced
to make a safe estimate, however,
indications point to a bumper crop.
Mr. Winston Insists (hat the pros
pects for a big fruit crop have never

Soil conditions, ho maintains, are
unusually favorable this season for
