INTERPRETS COMPANY'S STATEMENTS In McCormlck's paid advertise ment tn last weeks' Mist supposedly to come from his employees, refer ring to conditions In his yard, he says that false reports are being cir culated by those not employed there. If any one cares enough to wrlie the Shipping Board at Washington, It. C. or the District Office In Portland, about the treatment of employees by the McCormick Company, the will get answer enough to satisfy any cfltlc as to working conditions, etc. The union men who were employ ed In this yard were anxious to strike some months ago and would have done so regardless of the fact that the war was at Its most crltloai point had not cooler heads prevailed a( that time and referred the case as a whole to the District Examiner of the Emergency Kleet Corporation, who made a thorough i ivestlKatlon and reported to the Emergency Kleet Office at Washington, 1). C. Regardless of the many minor de tails that the Officials of the Com pany and their hirelings were able to cover up. enough evidence was ob ; talned that the Government Offi cials notified the Company t lip. t un less they made these matters right and treated their employees accord ing to Covornment standards, their payments on Uovornnient contract 7 would cease.
