THE MORNIXG OREGONIAN, SATURDAY, JAyUARY 29, 1916. 'J FERRIS BILL IS HOT MOUSED BY LABOR Motion Presented in State Convention Dies Before It Comes to Vote. SALEM GETS NEXT MEET dominations Made for Officers and Delegates of Federation to lie Ileferrefl to Members of Individual In ions. While the Oregon Federation of Labor adopted a waterpower resolution in the closing hours of its session yesterday, it failed to sanction a motion that the body memorialize Congress to enact the Ferris bill now pending on this sub ject. Delegate Lawrence had made the motion to memorialize. It was apparent that there was a latent opposition and the matter was sent over to the after noon session for further consideration. However, nothing more was heard of the matter. It is suspected that debate on this proposition would have aroused antagonism and it was dropped. I'nloa Tax Doubled. The convention doubled the amount of its per-capita tax on the unions affiliated with it. and referred it to a vote of the various unions for rati fication. It was the purpose of some in the body to push the increase through without referendum, but Dele gate McKenzle headed this off by moving the referendum. Debate was fcharp and general over the proposi tion. Heretofore the tax was one and a half cnts tor each member of every union affiliated with the federation. Here after it will be three cents a month, if the referendum is successful. The plan is to raise $0500 during the current year, so as to finance the "people's land and loan bill" for the election in November. That is the single tax measure, which the federation, against the judgment of fome. farmers particularly, is advocat ing. Salem rxt Meeting Place. Salem was recommended to the in coming executive board of the federa . Hon as the next rlace for holding the convention. This was done just before final adjournment of the session last night. Under the constitution of the body, all officers are nominated on the floor of the convention and elected by a . referendum vote of the unions. The fol ' lowing nominations were made: For president. C. M. Rynerson. t printer: T. H. Burchard. musiciau, and Otto Hartwig. painter. Vice-president. C. H. Keller, barber. Secretary-treasurer, E. J. Stack, ci garmaker. ( Delegates Are dominated.

Indorsement was given again for the non-partisan tariff board which the National Chambers of Commerce, through the Portland Chamber, pre sented to the body. When Mrs. Gee reported as chairman of the committee which looked after the use of union labels, J. T. Madsen objected to the use of the word "de spised'" boycotts, strikes and the like. He sugested substitution of the word "deplore." which was accepted. V. 31. McKenzie charged that firms and man ufacturers using union labels were em ploying non-union engineers. Disarmament Motion Referred. The resolution from a pacificist for a world disarmament was referred to the executive board, and the resolution rel ative to water-power sites and their conservation was read and adopted by unanimous consent, as follows: Whereas, It appears that there are within the boundaries of this state many magnificent undeveloped water power possibilities, which in time will be harnessed to meet the needs of an ver-growing community, and Whereas. It appears that the greater part of the developed water rower of the Nation has passed to the control of a small coterie of capitalists who are now endeavoring to acquire the cream of undeveloped power possibilities throughout the West and thus in time completely control the production of hydro-electric energy throughout the United Slates, and Whereas, The representatives of these vast interests have been quietly, but diligently at work in this state with a view of securing the indorsement of legislation which would further their selfish ends, and Whereas, They have recently pre vailed upon certain of our public offi cials to attempt to place this state on record before our Federal courts as favoring the contention of this selfish interest in what is known as the Utah power case, be it Hesolved. That we are opposed to the Government granting away in perpetu ity ny lands which control water power sites in this state: that while we favor such legislation as will per mit their development, we are unalter ably opposed to any movement which would result In their passing from the control of the people, and be it Resolved. That we insist no public official should attempt to place this stale on record upon this most im portant question before the tribunals of this Nation without first submitting the matter to all the people and learning their wishes. Federal Arms Plaat Kavared. The resolution by the Farmers' Union that, should the Government find it necessary to prepare for war, that it manufacture its own munitions was concurred in. The Jewish appeal for funds present ed to the body was received and, on motion of E. E. Smith, favorably acted upon, while "deploring the system that made such appeals necessary." Delegate McKenzie opposed the prop osition, but was outvoted. He did not think that organized labor should be u. ked for fund?, because it had its own troubles and poverty. Udgar T. Crawford, of the Northwest ern Institute of Anthropology, spoke to the convention asking that the secre tary of the body be allowed t act as a member of the governing tj'-ard of the institute. The request was granted. Mr. Daly Ja Speaker. City Commissioner Will Daly spoke to the body, saying that the labor spec ifications governing the builtiing of the Auditorium would make that improve ment cost, an excess of what" had been estimated, but he favored the excess because it would go to the Fortland workmen, for the most part. H. M. Lortsen, of Astoria, spoke upon the fishing in Columbia River and pointed out that methods which had been condemned everywhere else were in use by fishermen. Unless more im proved ways are adopted, he predicted a continued decrease in the catch and pack. Jack Rosin, of the Seaman's Union, explained the seaman's act, and the convention indorsed it. He reviewed the history of the act, showing that it took SON OF ORBOOX HEADS SEW. BEKU COMMERCIAL CLUB. George L. Kelty. KEWBERG, Or.. Jan. 27. (Spe cial.)

Wouldn't you be happy? The 25 little boys under the age of 10 years who are out at tne Boys ana Girls' Aid Society may not be saying Just this, but they are in great need of homes and mothering, and Runo Arne. the superintendent, has made an appeal for homes for these little lads.

Huooara, uentrana, treas urer; Thorpe Babcock, Seattle, secre- tarv. Representatives of the industry from all over the territory attenaea tne an nual meeting today and heard optim istic reports of the trade, which showea a cut of 79 per cent or tne normal, stiffening markets and a sustained ad vance in price. The name of the organization was changed by vote, following the report of the committee, to the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, by which it hereafter will be officially known. Trustees, who elect the executive offi cers, were chosen as follows. R. S. Shaw. Hammond Lumber Com pany, Astoria; E. B. Hazen. Bridal Veil Lumber Company. Bridal Veil, Or.; E. D.

The report of President Bloedel indi cated a practical elimination among manufacturers of running double shifts in the face of strong markets and an inclination against oversupplying the demand. It was announced that the feeling in the trade was more unuorm ly encouraging than at any time for two years. J. D. Moffit, a prominent lumberman of Toledo, O., in an address before the assembly, declared that the Southern manufacturers have advanced the sell ing price of their product at a much more rapid rate than have the manu facturers of Douglas fir. None of the yards east of Chicago, he said, were oversupplied with stock, and the ma jority of these held stocks below the normal demand. He asserted that the feeling among the owners of the Eastern line yards was that the -lumber advance was per manent and that the low prices of the past would not. be expected again or used as a commercial possibility. In conclusion he advised West Coast lumbermen not to manufacture too rapidly, explaining that the danger now was over-optimism. He expressed him self as opposed to double shifts in mills because of their capacity to over stock the market. SHIPPING POLIGYUNSURE UNCERTAINTY PREVENTS UPBUILD. ING, SAYS CAPTAIN" DOLLAR. Creation of Board by Congress to Rec ommend Means of Increasing Merchant Marine Advocated. NEW ORLEANS. Jan. 28. Lack of a definite National shipping policy pre vented business men from building up an American mercantile marine.

William Manly, Assistant Federal At torney In Territory, Says Illegal Traffic Mast Cease. SEWARD. Alaska. Jan. 28. Twenty- eight women arrested today on a charge of selling liquor at Anchorage, the principal construction camp of the Government railroad, pleaded guilty and were fined 100 each. The raid was conducted by special cents of the Department of Justice, acting under special instructions from W ashington. Under the rules of the Alaska engi neering Commission and a stipulation included in deeds to town lots at Anchorage the sale of liquor in the camp is prohibited. Assistant United States Attorney Munly who came here from Portland, Or., said the engineering commission and the Department of Justice are de termined to stamp out the illegal liquor traffic at any cost. As the women arrested resided out side the townsite limits the provisions in deeds to town lots forfeiting prop erty to the Government on which liquor is sold was inapplicable in their cases. William Munlv is a brother of M. G. Munly, of Portland, prominent Demo crat and member of the Board of Edu cation. -Mr. Munly, whose home is in Portland, was appointee Assistant United States Attorney for Alaska about two years ago. PERSIA QUERY REPEATED Washington Again Asks Austria if Knowledge Is Had. WASHINGTON.

Assertions by survivors that the ship was torpeaoed bv a hostile submarine, presumably Austrian, have not been proved. The State Department wants a aer- inite statement from the Vienna gov ernment, and. should a denial be re ceived, the case probably will be con sidered closed.
