MORE MONEY FOR COLUMBIA IR MID-WEEK SPECIALS OF GREAT SAVINGS LVERFIELD' SILVERFIELD'S FOURTH AND MORRISON FOURTH AND MORRISON MacKenzie ' Recommends Ap propriation to Complete ' the Jetty. CONTRACT FOR CELILO Iirfpenlng Channel From Port-land (o Sea Improvements In Upper Willamette, Columbia ' and Snake Rivers'. WASHINGTON, D. C Nov. 12. In his nmml report made public V-oday, General MacKenzie, Chief of Army Engineers, recommends that Coneress, at Its com ing session. appropriate the $1. 700.0)0 which was authorized last session to complete the Jetty at the mouth of the Columbia River. When this approprla . tlon was authorized It was believed that tiie amount would, complete the project, but owing to the Increased price of lum ber and material and the damage caused by Wlnti-r storms It is now believed that a supplementary estimate covering the increaso in cost will have to be sub mitted. Genera! MacKenzie also believes that JSil.000 or f.'X1) should be expended put ting new boilers In the dredge Chinook, . which is now unseaworthy. If this is done, the dredge can be put back to work oh the bar. and it is his belief that It could greatly aid the concentrated tidal current In broadening and deepening the channel now in process of formation. Speaking of the Improvement of tho channel from Portland to the sea, the report says: "There has been no time during the year when a vessel could not safely load at Portland to a draft of 24 feet.'" Sufficient money Is on hand to continue this Improvement and build a new dredge to replace the Iadd, which is nearly ready for the junkplle. Dredging has so f.ir Increased the depth of this channel by eight feet. Celllo Canal and Willamette. The last river and harbor bill authorized the appropriation of JA0O.000 for the Celilo Canal, in addition to ?I0O.0 then made available. It is recommended that this amount be appropriated at the coming session so work can be continued without delay. That will leave nearly KS.OOO.OOO yet to. be appropriated. General MacKenzie recommends that Congress' provide for the construction of a revetment opposite Albany and for the extension of the existing revetment at Independence In the. Willamette River, fo as to maintain the existing alignment of the river banks and channels. Xo new appropriation Is recommended. The im provement of the Upper Columbia and Snake Rivers Is proceeding and the work will be finished by the time the Celilo Canal Is completed. Further improve ments of Coos Bay depend upon the re port of the special Army Engineer Board appointed to determine the advisability of deepening the channel across the bar. If this board reports favorably, it will Riihrnlt the nrntpct nnrt out ttvtn toe w.hloh will form the basis of legislation In the next river and harbor bill. - ' Tltl.. r....

RAISE FUND FOR PURPOSE Van Cleave Takes Up Gage Thrown IHm n and Will Kill Boycott and Blacklist Make tlie 8 Hour Hay Universal. NORFOLK. Va, Nov. 12. That there will bo war to the knife between, the American Federation of Labor and the National Association of Manufacturers was evidenced today at the ses94on of the Federation of Labor here. The Federa tion has already taken the aggressive by looking to the establishment of a fund to fight the manufacturers through Its executive council. The charge Is that un due pressure Is being brought by the manufacturers of the country against or ganized labor, to the detriment of the latter. , ' ' - The manufacturers . combat this in a statement made today by James Van Oleaye, president of the National Asso ciation of Manufacturers, in .which he holHs that the object of his association Is to put labor unionism on a basis whereby they may be held responsible for their contracts. As an instance he called at tention to the pending ult in New York of the Typbthetae against the Pressmen's Union, alleging the breaking of con tracts by the union. Will Fight to Finish. On the issue made by Mr. Gompers to day in seeking funds to fight the suit brought by Mr. Van Cleave as president of the Buck Stove & Range Company, of St. Louis against Mr. Gompers and the Fedoration's executive council, the Man ufacturers' Association comes out flat footed with the statement that It will fight the boycott and the blacklist to the finish. The Federation authorized Mr. Gom pers to appoint special committees for the consideration of aggressive steps to! ward the establishment of a universal eight-hour day, and to raise a fund to fight the Manufacturers' Association, the committees to report at present ses sions. ... . Mr. Gompers was also authorized by resolution of the Executive Council and unanimous vote of the Federation to ap point a third special committee to pro vide ways and means for the Increased circulation of the American Fedation ist, the official organ of the National body. . . Rights of Navy-Yard, Men. A resolution was presented by James O'ComieU,- of Washington, calling for a report by committee of a bill to be pre sented to the next Congress giving Ihe same relief at law to employes in the fnlted- States navy-yards who may be disabled by accidents, or to the heirs of navy-yard employes who may be killed while in the pursuit of their occupation, as persons employed by private corpora tions. " . . Another resolution was presented by Mr. O'Connell asking Congress to legal ize ' the half-day holiday on Saturday during the months of July, August and September, which employes of all Gov ernment navy-yards, tndfc-idual stations. Governmental factories and arsenals have enjoyed by proclamation during the last two years. The important features of the annual report of the executive council were on the revocation of the brewery workers charter, because of" their alleged rpfusal to relinquish Jurisdiction over the fire mrn and teamsters, and tm? report of the court proceedings which have beeij brought at Washington through the Manufacturer!' . Association restraining the members of the executive council from placing the goods of a certain stove concern on the "we-don't patronize" list. This, the report declares, was an efforf by the "arch enemies of labor, after the failure to disrupt all labor unions, to discredit the discretion, the honesty and integrity of the American Federation of Labor and Its officials and to deprive them of the freedom of speech and of the press and of their personal liberty." Funds Needed for War. The report declared that the Federa tlbn Is without sufficient funds to meet 'ibe war that the Manufacturers' Asso ciation will be able to put forth, and ask d for action by this convention for raising the same. The Federation at present has only a per capita fund ot 6 cents per year for meeting all expenses, and emergencies.
