STRIKE POSTPONED

SALEM, Ore., Oct. 22. In closing a
communication to Governor Withy
combe relative to the validity of com
pulsory arbitration legislation, Attor
ney General Brown quotes from a trea
tise by Thomas J. Parkinson, saying
that even though a compulsory law Is
drafted which will meet all constitu
tional requirements It "may not prove
doslrable." The govornor has been
considering calling a special session
of the legislature, but it Is thought
that, in view ot the attorney general's
communication and the adverse advice
of-frlends, he will now probably aban
don the plan.
The walkout ot the employes ot the
Crown Willamette company scheduled
to take place Wednesday was post
poned at a late hour Wednesday night
due to the fact that negotiations look
ing to a settlement were being opened
by the grievance committee and the
management, in roruanu. it is re
ported that Mr. Lewthwalte of Port
land has placed the situation before
the board of directors of the company
In San Francisco and that nothing will
be done until they are heard from.
The people the committee announces
are asked to prepare fruit cakes, fruit
ed crackers, salted nuts, dried prunes,
figs, dates and raisins as suitable arti
cles tor the boxes.
The committee will also be glad to
receive contributions of money to pur
chase writing paper, envelopes, postal
cards, pencils, playing cards, tobacco,
pipes, cigarette papers and chewing
gum. The boxes must be packed and
ready for mailing by November 1st in
order to arrive for the holidays.
The decision of the supreme court of
Oregon was received Friday by the
circuit court in the case of Weyer
hauser Land company against the
Board of Equalization of Clackamas
county. The supreme court reverses
the decision of the circuit court and
orders that the decree be amended ac
cordingly. In 191) the Board of Equalization of
the county assessed the holdings and
timber of the Weyerhauser Land com
pany according to the figures obtained
from the timber cruise which the land
company claimed were not correct In
that they were too high. The board
refused to change the figures of the
county assessor and were then made
defendants In an action in the circuit
court by the land company seeking to
set aside the assessment or claiming
that It was incorrect The circuit
court decided for the land company
and the Board of Equalization appealed
the case through District Attorney
Hedges to the supreme court ot the
state, which In turn reversed the de
cision of the lower court and assessed
the costs amounting to something
over two hundred dollars against the
Weyhauser people. The result of the
decision is that the figures of the
assessor as agreed upon by the Board
of Equalization will remain as the
assessment against the land company.

County Superintendent J. A. Cala
van, today will send to all the teachers
in the county, the first of a series of
letters he will get out in the interest
ot the Food Conservation campaign
which will be waged throughout the
nation during the week of October 23.
The purpose ot the letter will be to
stlmulte interest in the food saving
movement through the schools, teach
ers will be expected to arouse interest
among the families through the school
ers, and leave no stone unturned that
will contribute to the success ot the
campaign in the respective district.
The boards of the different districts
in the county will be requested to se
lect a citizen from the district to serve
as a permanent member ot county gen
eral committee during the time the
work is carried on, no doubt for the
duration of the war.
The letter further announces that on j from the Food Conservation day pro-
Monday night October 29th a meeting! gram held in Oregon City on Saturday,
will be held in every school house in
the county at which speakers will talk
to the people on the subject ot Food
Conservation. Since there are one
hundred forty schools in the county
enough Bpoakers cannot be furnished
by the general committee for that
night and the rural districts will be
requested to ask through the general
committee tor some speaker from an
other district and by interchanging be
able to provide a sufficient number.
The districts or schools first applying
will be provided first, and those asked
to deliver a talk at some school house
will be selected from both men and wo
men Interested in or prominently
identified with the work, so stated Mr.
Calavan,
The letter ot the county superintend
ent Is in the nature of a follow-up
when O. M. Plummer, federal agent
for the Hoover organization addressed
tne people on now ana why it was
necessary to save food and Mrs. Mil
lie Trumbull spoke on the conserva
tion of the child. In connection with
the campaign the government has Is
sued a home card, explaining why
America must supply the nations at
war as well as our own country and
giving data on how the food required
by the armies can be saved, and thus
increase the amount now moving
across the sea. At the time of signing
the pledge cards ,to be distributed dur-
the week of October 28th through the
school children each family will be
given one of these cards, also a card to
place in their window which gives no
tice that they are a member of the
Food Administration.

The Clackamas county grand jury
reported for duty on Monday morning
and will continue in session during the
greater part of the week. Among the
cases taken up for consideration are
State of Oregon vs. Charles Barte
charged with non-support; State of
Oregon vs. Harry Holland and G. W.
Clark, Portland men charged with lar
ceny of a dwelling, complaint having
been filed in justice court that about
October 2nd, they entered the home of
Ed Bowles on the Tualatin river and
carried off considerable household
furniture, hauling the goods in a truck
to Portland where they were sold at
pawn shops and second hand stores;
State of Oregon vs. G. H. Felsensteln
of Spokane charged with selling prop
erty to which he had no title; State of
Oregon vs. Stanley Gibson, Witchita

section. For many years he was well
known as an educator, having served
as school superintendent ot Clacka
mas county. He is a leader in grange
work, and is a regent of the Monmouth
Normal school. Several years ago he
was sent to Europe by Governor West
to make a study of the continental
rural credits systems, and the report
of his investigations was used in
framing the Oregon rural credits law.
Early announcement of Republican
candidates is expected. Governor
Withycombe will undoubtedly be a
candidate for a Becond term, and he
will be opposed in the primary by
Gus C. Moser, president of the state
senate, and by3ecretary of State Ol
cott Another prospective candidate
Is Robert N. Stanfield, speaker, of the
house of representatives.
Rumors are afloat ot the intention
of some of the county officials to be
come candidates tor a third term.
Those who will complete second terms
next year are Sheriff Wilson, County
Clerk Harrington, Treasurer Dunn,
Commissioner Knight and Surveyor
Johnson. Constable D. E. Frost is
mentioned as a candidate for the Re
publican nomination for sheriff, and
George Swafford will be a candidate
for county clerk on the Republican
ticket.

EUGENE, Ore., Oct. 22. The board
of regents of the University of Ore
gon, in session here late Saturday
night, accepted the resignation of Al
len H. Eaton, a member of the faculty,
who is charged with disloyal activi
ties.
Mr. Baton participated In the gath
ering in Chicago of the People's Coun
cil og America for Democracy and
Terms of Peace. Since his return to
this city he has been the target for
much criticism In the form of resolu
tions adopted by the Chamber of Com
merce, patriotic societies and moth
ers of Oregon soldiers now in the ser
vice of the United States.
After a protracted session which
ended early yesterday morning, the
board adopted and gave out this brief
resolution:
"Resolved, That it is the sense ot
the board of regents of the Nnlversity
of Oregon that, in accepting the resig
nation of Allen H. Eaton we do not in
tend to accuse him of intending disloy
alty to his government."
