Subscribed by Strikers.
The backbone of the big paper mill
strike, Involving more than a thou
sand men. received a severe fracture
Monday when paper machines num
bered five and six of tho Crown Wlll-
nmetto Paper company, capable of
manufacturing CO per cent of the mill's
output, wore plucod In operation short
ly before noon on a 24 hour baBls and,
according to tho company officials, an
other machine will probably start to
day. Tho mill operators were silent
as to tho number of men employed
and whero they had been socurcd, but
they have been bending all tholr en
orglea since tho outbreuk of the strike
to place the mill In operation, and
tholr success will make tho situation
of tho strikers more sorlous. The
Hnwley Pulp & Pnpcr company, which
has been shut down since the begin
ning of the trouble, has mado no ef
fort to resume operations, though It Is
roportod they have BUfTlclont number
of mon at the mill to operate one papor
machine.
Tho strikers have cullod another
public meeting for this afternoon nt
o'clock In Bunch's hall, where Prosl
dont Otto Hurtwlg, and Secretary E.
J. Stack, of the State Federation of
Labor will be tho main speakers. Tho
pulp and Bulphlte workors met Sun
day and voted $1000 to carry on the
strike nnd the paper makers made an
appropriation of $500.

wage scale, Just announced by the
United States shipbu:ldlng labor ad

that the workmen, especially In the
northwestwn cities, will accept It.
The board's findings granted an av
erage Increase In the minimum wage
of approximately 35 per cent, which
will remain In effect for one year. The
agreement Is retroactive, taking ef
fect from tho time the men resumed
work after accepting the temporary
agreement negotiated in September.
The Increased cost of living since the
war began was the basis for the w age
Increase.
When V. Everett Macy and the other
members of the commission left here
Inst night to begin adjustment of the
wage scales on the Atlantic seaboard,
they declared the new scale would
definitely end tho recent strikes nnd
other difficulties In tho shipbuilding
trades on the Pacific coast.
Advices from northwestern cities to

not certain. President Dan McKlllop,
of the Seattle Metal Trades council de

WASHINGTON, Nov. 7. The navy
department was today awaiting from
Vice Admiral Sims a complete re
port of the torpedoing of the Ameri
can patrol vessel Alcedo, which went
down In the war zone early Monday
morning with a probable' loss of one
officer and 20 men. The Alcedo, a
convorted yacht, apparently was hit
in a vital spot, as only four minutes
elapsed before she plunged below.
Of the Alcedo's full complement
of seven officers and 85 men, 71 are
belloved to have been rescued, but
little hope is held out for the possible
safety of those reported missing. The

MM GUNS TO ENEMY
BERLIN, via London, Nov. 5.
Six thousand more Italian soldiers
were captured when German and Aus
trian forces succeeded in crossing the
middle Tagliamento river, according
to today's war office statement. A
number of guns were also captured.
"After crossing the Tagliamento
river, our troops are advancing to the
west," the official statement declared.
ROME, Nov. 3 Increasing Ger
man-Austrian pressure on the left
wing of the Italian army now drawn
up along the Tagliamento river, was
announced In today's official state
ment
I "North of Pinozano the enemy, who
succeeded In bringing forces to the
right bank, intensified his pressure on
our left wing," the war office Btated.
A flood of human wreckage, borne
forward on the tidal wave of the German-Austrian
advance Into northern
Italy, reached Rome today with har
rowing tales of suffering and despair.
Slgnora de Zullani, formerly Miss
Davidson of Sioux City, Iowa, with her
two children, both under four, arrived
safoly from her home In the northern
provinces, exhausted by the flight.
She told a vivid story of day and
night hurrying ahead of the enemy, of
the ranks of the Italian troops steadily
tramping backward as others heroical
ly fought back the advancing hordes.
Soldiers refused to abandon the
wounded, and Slgnora de Zuliana told
of hundreds of cases where three and
four bandaged men were lashed to
each gun carriage and hauled along
with the precious artillery.
Italian workmen everywhere are re
pledging their patriotism and solidar
ity of support for the government.
Scores of messages have been received
from all over Italy in which workmen's
organizations offer their services and
reassert their unqualified allegiance.

Resolution at Live Wires
Session Arbitrate Strike
Causes Fiery Discussion
The Live Wires of the Commercial
club Thursday night, after a heated
discussion of the paper mill strike sit
uation, declined by a vote of 19 to 14,
to adopt a resolution presented by E.
E. Brodie that requested both sides to
submit the controversy of their dif
ferences to the State Conciliation
board. The resolution presented the
main facts concerning the labor situa
tion and Indorsed the principles of ar
bitration. It was fought by B. T. Mc
Bain, mill manager of the Crown Will
amette Paper company; T. W. Sulli
van, hydraulic engineer of the Port
land Railway, Light & Power com
pany, and George Randall and It was
indorsed by State Senator Dimlck, Ex-
Representative E. P. Carter and J. W. 1
Moffatt.
From the moment of Its introduction
the resolution drew fire and a motion
by Mr. Sullivan to table it was lost by
a close vote. Mr. McBaln made a clear
statement of the company's attitude,
stating that men were on their way to
Oregon City to work in the mills,
which would probably be in operation
by next Monday; that the union would

Organization.
Following the resumption of opera
tions of the two largest machines of
the Crown Willamette Paper company
Monday, the Hawley Pulp ft Paper
company Tuesday morning started
machine No. 4, carying 60 per cent of
its output, and will continue to operate
it on a 24 hour basis. The first order
turned out by the Hawley company
was the 10-ton order for the Crown
Willamette Paper company, which
caused a walk out by. the Hawley un
ion men October 27 and shut down
the plant. Every department of the
Hawley company is running except the
sulphite mill, but the company has at
least a month's supply of sulphite on
hand.
There are 365 men at work in the
Crown Willamette mills, many of them
staying at the plant, where they are
fed and lodged. It is probable that a
third machine of the Crown Willam

and would remain closed for years
rather than acceed to the demands of
the union. The mill manager told of
his work to better conditions for his
men and manifestly had the sympathy
of many of his hearers who supported
him by their votes on the resolution,
which in no way reflected upon the
merits of the controversy.
Mr. Moffatt declared that both sides
had been hot headed and that it was
time to take a reasonable view of the
situation. He said the city had a deep
concern in the trouble and that it was
entirely proper for the Live Wire or
ganization to go on record along the
lines of the resolution.
O. D. Eby, president of the rammer.
cial club, emphasied the statement
that the club is not opposed to arbitra
tion, but he said the club does not feel
that it can say to the mill owners that
they should arbitrate the question of
recognition of the union, which would
be in effect the very recognition that
has been refused by the companies.
It is possible that the matter will be
reconsidered, with the elimination of
the question of union recognition.
