GROCERS UNITE TO
COMBAT "TRUST"
Oregon Body Incorporates to
Concentrate Buying '
Power of Firms.
TERMS MADE TO JOBBERS
Fight in Prospect if Proposal Is
Xot MetConcern Xow at San
Francisco May Be Brought
to Portland Territory.
TP ith a representative membership
of 60 dealers already signed and 100
expected, ultimately, the United Gro
cers of Oregon, organized two months
ago and incorporated Thursday, are
prepared today to launch formally a
fight against a so-called grocers' job
bing "trust' in Portland.
The organization will present what
It considered grievances to the job
bers, manufacturers, packers and brok
ers in Portland. If they are not met,
it is understood, the fight will be
launched and the pooling of purchases
by the United Grocers members will be
the weapon used. The members of the
new organization are opposed 'to the
Jobbers maintaining so-called pre
ferred lists of buyers.
Buying to lie Concentrated.
F. E. Foote is secretary of the new
organization and yesterday he defined
the purposes of it as follows:
"The object of the organization is
to concentrate the buying power and
to further the mutual benefit and pro
tection of its members. By the aid
of indorsements of jobbers, manufac
turers, packers and brokers the as
sociation will prove of mutual benefit
to both its members nd those in
dorsed firms whose bid for recogni
tion will be acceptable to the associa
tion. "We are not in the least antago
nistic to any firm or manufacturer or
any, line of wholesale business, but
we simply ask their co-operation in a
fair bid for our combined purchasing
power, which collectively is greater
in our line of merchandise than all
the larger stores combined, and we
must be so recognized."
Members Aot Talkative,
Members yesterday were reluctant to
talk of the new organization, for the
reason that their proposals to the job
bers had not yet been presented. The
lines of the organization are firmly
drawn, however, and their silence they
explained was 'merely for the purpose
of not opening their fight prematurely,
or before the jobbers had an oppor
tunity to consider the conditions pre
sented. It is understood should the dealers
not meet with success in getting the
co-operation of one or several local
jobbing houses, a large San Francisco
jobbing house has proposed opening
a plant in Portland. The members of
the United Grocers, it is said, do not
favor bringing the new concern here
unless conditions cannot be adjusted
here satisfactorily.
The United Grocers of Oregon was
organized in September. Two weeks
ago an election was held at. the tem
porary headquarters in the Pittock
building.
The United Grocers are in no way
concerned with the Sunday closing agi
tation and at present have no legisla
tion in mind or ahiy fight on any pro
posed legislation.'
Incorporation Papers Filed

Articles of incorporation were issued
today by Corporation Commissioner
Schulderman to the United Grocers of
Oregon with headquarters in Port

Added Feature at Land Show
ProRrnmmr.
Chinese babies of &11 ages, dressed in
all colors, delighted hundreds of visitors
to the Manufacturers' and Land Prod
ucts Show Thursday night. It was the
night for the little almond-eyed young
sters to "show off" and they did tt to
a decided advantage. When the judges.
Miss Florence Holmes, Miss Vella Win
ner and Mrs. Alva Lee Stephens, sought
seclusion at the end of the baby Judg
ing, all that they could say was "we
did not have half enough prizes to bo
around."
In the Infant class, from birth to th
see of one year, Mildred Chin was de
clared to be the winner among the girl
babies with Margaret Lee. a 40-day-old
child, a close second. Raymond Sire
was selected to be the best boy in the
infancy class and Victor Lee was sec
ond choice. From one to 2 years Hanel
Lung -was first, Gertrude Johsang being-
second. Among the boys in this class.
Edwin Lee was chosen flrst-and Ches
ter Lee was second best. In the third
class, ages from 2 to b years, first
place was awarded to Anna Wong, sec
ond to Clara Lowe. Frances Leo was
the best boy in this class, Benjamin
Lee being second.
Second in importance to the baby
how and another feature of the cele
bration of Chinese night was the mar
riage of a Chinese man and a Chinese
maid, who, however, proved later to
be a man also.
Two musical numbers, one a vocal
solo by Harry Ding, formerly with the
University of Oregon Glee Club, and
the other a piano boIo by Kose Moy
Ling, ended the programme.
While the Chinese were celebrating
In the ballroom of the Armory a large
audience was listening to a lecture by

WEAK HEADLIGHT CHARGED
Commission Asks Prosecution of
Southern raciflc Company.
As an echo of the Southern Pacific
wreck' of August 20, when a freight
conductor and brakeman were killed
in a rear-end crash near Oswego, the
Public Service Commission Thursday
asked District Attorney Evans to file
a complaint against the Southern Pa
cific Company, charging that an engine
is being operated with a headlight that
is lacking in power.
A 1913 statute provides that engines
must have headlights that will make
objects. 800 feet away visible at night.
On Octoger 11 and October 23, says the
Commission, an inspector found engine
2130 of the Southern Pacific with a
weak headlight. This is the same en
gine which was involved in the wreck
wherein two men lost their lives. Al
though the Coroner's jury held the
train crew responsible, the grand jury
exonerated it.'
LETTER SCORES MR. DIECK
Commission Accused of Unfair Acts
Under Efficiency Code.
A scathing denunciation of Commis
sioner Dieck is contained in a letter
presented Thursday to the Municipal
Civil Service Board by W. S. Chapman,
an engineer in Mr. Dleck's department.
He says he has been reduced in salary
and position by unfair methods and
asks that his old position and salary
be restored.
"The maladministration of the so
called efficiency code," says Mr. Chap
man in his letter, "and the actual con
tempt shown for the laws, rules and
orders of the Municipal Civil Service
Board have been the means of stultify
ing those who have essayed to claim
their rights' under those laws and rules
and have enabled their . superiors to
employ or promote those not entitled
to such employment or promotion."

. POLK TO FRONT
Counsellor to State Depart
ment Is Lansing's Aide.
SALARY IS CUT IN HALF
From Corporation Counsel of City of
New York at $13,000 a Year,
Young Lawyer Takes Up Du
ties AAith Pay of $7500.
WASHINGTON', Nov. 5. As recently
as. the early part of the Taft Adminis
tration, the position of counsellor for
the Department of State was regarded
as of bo little consequence that it was
not evert listed in the Congresssional
Directory, though, chief .clerks, i division
chiefs and private secretaries were
deemed worthy of having their names
in this official "Who s Who" of the
National Government. Not until 1911
was the title cf the position and the
name of the person holding it included
In the book. It carries a salary of
$7500. Formerly Mr. Polk's salary
was 115,000 a year.
Today the counsellor for the Depart
ment of State Is among the most pow
reful and responsible officers of - the
United States. He figures more often
in the day's news than most Cabinet
officers. ,
With the Incoming of the present
National Administration that eminent
authority on international law. Dr. John
Bassett Moore, was called to the posi
tion of counsellor for the department.
Thereupon Congress provided by stat
ute that, in the absence or disqualifica
tion of the Secretary of State the coun
sellor and not the ranking Assistant
Becretary should act as Secretary. This
gave to the position a dignity which it
had not previously possessed.
Mr. Lansing Called to Post.
In March, 1314, Dr. Moore resigned
and Robert Lansing was called to the
post. Then came the European war,
with tho result that the Department of
State suddenly became the most impor
tant part of the Government.
So it was that when Mr. Bryan re
signed the secretaryship the counsellor.
Mr. Lansing, was promoted to be Sec
retary of State,
Then came a new counsellor, fresh
from his duties as Corporation Counsel
of the City of New York, Frank Lyon
Polk. It was September 16 that Mr.
Polk took office. Germany's unsatis
factory -iete on the Arabic case was
just in hand. The Dumba incident
was crowding for attention. Mexico
was boiling over the border. Hayti was
just in the process of being straight
ened out and resisting the straighten
ing process. International complica
tions- on the surface of things were
numerous.
Secretary Ooes a Fisliln',
September 18, two days later. Secre
tary Lansing, who, for a period, had
been his own counsellor, and bearing
a tremendous burden, departed for his
vacation to fish for . bass. Some ob
servers about the department held
their breaths. A new man, a fresh
man in the senior class of this Admin
istration, automatically became Secre
tary of State. How was he going to
"get by"?
The answer was not long in forth
coming. The newspaper correspond
ents, assembling for their daily talk
with Acting Secretary Polkj the mem
bers of the diplomatic corps, calling for
the transaction of their business; the
many routine callers, the cotton men
and the beef packers and the- repre
sentatives of interests affected by the
war or by other international matters,
all found the new acting secretary
thoroughly Informed on all pending
matters, suave, self-contained, digni
fied, sure of himself, talking the lan
guage of modern diplomacy as a mas
ter. .
Biologists have advanced the theory
that there is being evolved a distinct
physical type of American, which type
contains tome of the characteristics of
the aboriginal American tall, lithe
frame, high cheek bones and dark skin.
Sprung from a long line of American
born ancestors, Mr. Polk seems to meet
the specifications and to justify the
theory.
Jaw Similar t President'.
The jaw, like the famous jaw of
President Wilson, is a. prominent fea
ture. It- is a fighting' jaw. Observe it
and you 'do not wonder that the pos
sessor was an athletic star in his col
lege days.
In his conversation he, Mke his chief.
Secretary Lansing, has an evident par
itality for the informal. He prefers to
get at the crux of the subject speedily
and easily, without circumlocution. He
converses: he docs not orate. Wherein
he differs from some public men.
It is but natural that any conversa
tion with him drifts into a discussion
of international law. its principles and
its application to present day condi
tions. Seid he:
Legal Frofemlon Takes Netlce.
"International lawr as a separate
branch of the legal professison, has not
had a large following in the United
States until reoent years. The isola
tion of the United States in the earlier
period of the republic's history pro
duced this result. But now this Na
tion is less aloof from other countries
than - it ever was before. Means of
transportation and communication have
reduced Vreeks to days and days to
minutes. Our trade is expanding. We
are becoming a creditor ''instead of a
debtor Nation.
"It is altogether probable then, that
we are to see a larger section of the
American bar devoting its attention to
international law and the development
in that section of a considerable num
ber of specialists in that branch of the
profession. In my opinion this is a
matter to which the young lawyer and
the law student may well give serious
attention.

points of interest, indicating the man

RURAL HELP IS ASKED
FARM AND CITY URGED TO CO.
OPERATE IX : DEVELOPMENT.
County Exhibitors at Chamber Discnna
Plana for Promotion of Indus
. tries of the State.
A note of cordial relationship be
tween the man of rural, community and
farm and the business man of the city,
said to be the keynote of state develop
ment, was sounded Thursday night
at the banquet tendered by the Oregon
Development Bureau to 60 represen
tatives of the 22 Counties exhibiting
at the Manufacturers and Land Prod
ucts Show. Co-operation of the coun
try and the city for the good of the
state was the chief theme of speakers
ior tne evening.
One suggestion, made by D. M. Lowe.
of Jackson County, met with hearty
approrjation rrom officials of the show
present, with the probable result that
plans for the exhibit, of 1916 will be
formulated by a committee in which
outlying districts of the state are as
well represented as Portland.
In the closing speech of the even
ing, George Hardy, executive secretary
of the Chamber of Commerce, assert
ed that plans for reorganization of the
Oregon Development Bureau are al
ready being contemplated with a view
toward efficient co-operation between
city and country forces. He also said
that it is probable commercial clubs of
the state will be organized during the
coming year in sections, and not in a
single state body, which might prove
unwieldy.
C. C. Colt president of the Chamber
cf Commerce, was the first, speaker.
He asked for helpful suggestions, say
ing that Portland is seriously deter
mined -to do all in its power to build up
the country, as it realizes that the elty
will never grow great without rural
development.
As toastmaster, C. C. Chapman wel
comed the county representatives, while
x. J. Jurry, of Grand Honde valley,
responded on behalf of the visitors.
Others who responded during the
evening were: D. M. Lowe, of Jackson
County: W. B. Meacham, of Baker
county: 15. E. Beard, of Clarke Coun
ty, Wash.; Mrs. -Ina B. Garrett-Hays.
of Lake County; G. M. Lazelle, of
Clackamas County; President Hurley,

ty; John Phillips, Columbia County;
S. T. Lowden, Lincoln County; H. G.
Turner, of Portland, " representing
Klamath County; H. E. Gale, of Jose
phine County, and Secretary Hardy, of
Portland. .
The sweepstakes at the Land Show
were condemned as unprofitable by
several or tne speakers.
ne tangible result of the Land Show
this year, pointed out by Mr.. Lowe, of
Jackson county, was that through
wholesale men in Portland this last
week enough orders for pears, apples,
loganberries, etc., were placed to put
the canneries in that County on a new
basis for four or five years.
A suggestion that special trains to
county fairs be done away with next
year and that Instead squads of eight
or 10 from the Portland Chamber go
to the fairs and among the farmers,
asking what Portland can do to help
their counties, was made by Mr.
Smead, of Morrow County.
RULES IGNORED, IS FINDING
Attorney-General to Keceive Data on
Streetcar Accident.
Rules of the Portland Railway. Light
& Power Company were disregarded by
the motorman and conductor of the
Sunnyside car which Wednesday night
ran away and, colliding with two other
cars near Eleventh and Morrison
streets, injured six, according to tho
Public Safety Commission of Portland
which Thursday made an investigation
The action of the crew in leaving the
car will be lail before the Attorney
General, as a result of the findings,
said H. P. Coffin, a member of the
commission, yesterday. . -
'We have found that the rules of the
company provide that when a car leaves
the barn, one or the other of the crew
must remain with it at all times." said
Mr. Coffin. "These, men left the car
with' the air on. but not tightly enough.
It apparently leaked and the accident
resulted. The men were negligent, and
possibly they made themselves liable
to contributory criminal negligence,
For this reason we are presenting the
facts to the State Attorney-General."
DRUGGISTS WOULD CLOSE
Physicians' Stocks Declared Large
Enough for Sunday Xeeds.
Indorsement of the Weekly rest-day
feature of the proposed Sunday clos'
ing law was given by the Portland Re
tail Druggists' Association at the
monthly meeting at the Chamber of
Commerce. Different opinions were ex
pressed on Sunday closing, but a motion
Indorsing the plan was carried by a
rising vote.
The proposed' law was explained by
Dr. G. L. Tufts, superintendent of the
Weekly Rest Day League of Oregon.
W. F. Woodward and several others
declared that it probably would work
no hardship if all drug stores were
closed on Sunday. Physicians, thev
said, usually have sufficient medicines
to meet actual needs on that day. Other
druggists declared that Sunday was
their best business day, although a
large proportion of the receipts are for
tigars ana omer siao lines.

ROOT URGES DEFENSE
USTION LCAGtTK'S PROPOSAL OCT.
DOES ADMINISTRATION'S.
Universal Military Service fer Al!
Abie-Bodied Men and Navy of
4S Ships Are Wanted.
NEW YORK, Nov. 12. Ex-Senator
Elihu Root, president of the Union
League Club, presided last night at a
meeting of the club, at which a resolu
tion was passed in favor of a National
defense programme bigger than that
proposed by the Administration, one
that will Include a universal military
service of all able-bodied men and a
Navy of 48 ships of the line with full
equipment.
In presenting the resolution. Senator
Root said:
"The war in Europe is not the cause
of a movement for preparation for de
fense. That cause has long existed.
The war in Europe is but the demon
stration striking the imagination and
convincing the judgment of the people
of the United States upon the neces
sity for the adequate preparation for
defense.
"Do not let us deceive ourselves.
Adequate preparation for- preservation
of our liberty meins a vast expendi
ture, but it means more than that; it
means a willingness for self -sacrifice,
a spirit among our people along the
length and breadth of our land, among
the rich and poor, among the highly
educated and the graduates of the com
mon school, among professional men,
between merchants and bankers, farm
ers and laborers a National spirit
among the people of the land, and a
determination to preserve the liberty
and justice of the American Eepubllo
and to make a sacrifice of. means and
convenience, comfort, and,, if need be,
of life in that cause."

"SONNY" IS LEFT AT HOME
Mrs. Finley J. Shepard Fears to
Take Boy to Sewing School.
NEW YORK, Nov. 5. Fearing cranks
Mrs. Finley J. Shepard did not take her
adopted son to the reception for moth
ers of the children of the sewing school
at White Plains. The 400 who were
present were disappointed when Mrs.
Shepard announcsd that she had left
her adopted son at home, for the pros
pect of seeing the child had drawn
many mothers to the big tent in which
the reception was held.
It developed during the reception
that Mrs. Shepard had arranged a few
days ago to have the boy with her, her
intention being to introduce the child
to the mothers of the sewing pupils. A
teacher advised her that such a course
might attract a crank and that there
was no telling what would happen.
Mrs. Shepard reluctantly consented to
leave her adopted son at home, but she
promised the mothers that she would
take the boy with her the next time
she went to the school
There were 14 graduates and Mrs.
Shepard awarded the diplomas to each.
