LOCAL UNI
PORTLAND. Feb. 4 With 11 ob
ject hte presentation to Portland of
the union's case In the pr.per mills
strike at Oregon Ctt Lebanon and
Camas, Wash., a mass mooting was
held Sunday night at the auditorium,
under the auspices ot the State Fed
eration of Labor.
Representatives ot the striking
workmen from the Crown Willamette
Paper company and the Hawley Pulp
& Paper company, declared that the
companies had steadfastly declined to
recognise ot treat with orgatttied lab
or, had refused federal and state medi
ation, and charged that the attitude ot
the companies has been ' undemocrat
ic and un-American" throughout.
Among the speakers were Otto Hart-
wig, president of the State Federation
of Labor; J. D. Brown, president of
the Oregon Farmers' Nonpartisan
league; Edward Launer, ot the Oregon
City union; Mayor Clark, of Camas,
himself a striking member ot the un
ion; and "Mother" Gee, organUer of
the Garment Workers' union.
The speakers asserted that the first
attempt at unionising had been met by
the companies with a compromise
agreement under which the men were
to return to work, their committees be
treated with, and no discrimination be
made against union men; that this
agreement had been violated by the
companies, that discrimination was
practiced, the enlistment of strike
breakers for anticipated trouble car
ried on secretly, absolute refusal to
treat with the workers collectively had
been made, and the unions forced to
strike for the right to organize.
Mr. Launer, ot Oregon City, charged
that, with one exception, the city of
ficials were solidly aligned against the
strikers and their cause, and that
Sheriff Wilson and his deputies were
perniciously active agalnat them, de
spite the fact that no disorder bad oc
curred. President Hartwlg and other speak
ers urged the assembly to rally to the
support of the striking papermakers.
A motion was unanimously adopted
recommending that the State Federa
tion of Labor continue Its assessment
of 25 cents per capita each month for
the support of the strike. Approxi
mately $150 was taken in a voluntary
collection to aid the strikers.

LONDON, Feb. 4-The supreme war
council, which met si Versailles, finds
no approximation In the German Chan
cellor's and the Austro llungarluu For
elgn Minister's speeches to the terms
ot the entente allies and has decided
to continue vigorous prosecution of
the war until peace can be obtained
"based ou the principle ot freedom,
Justice and respect for international

made here Sunday.
A summary of the official report of
the Versailles War office says:
"The council was unable to find
Von Hertllng's' recent utterances any
real approximation to the moderate
conditions laid down by the allies' gov
ernments. "Under the circumstances, the coin
ed decided that the only task before
them to meet was the vigorous and ef
fective prosecution of the war until
the pressure of that effort produced a
change of temper In the enemy gov
ernments, justifying the hope of the
conclusion of a peace based on the
principles of freedom. Justice and re
spect for International law.
"The council arrived at a complete
unanimity of policy on measures for
the prosecution of the war.
