STONE PREPARES SPEECH
Mexican Affairs Also to Be Promt
ncut in Week's Discussion ; Con
firmation of Fletcher as
Ambassador Probable.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 10. Discussion
from an Administration viewpoint of
the submarine issue with Germany will
be undertaken in the Senate this week.
Democrats, led by Senator Stone, chair
man of the foreign relations commit
tee, have determined to meet what
they term an effort on the part of the
Republican Senators to make a parti
san issue of the situation that has
arLsen since the announcement of the
German ' Admiralty's determination to
sink all enemy merchant ships, whether
armed for offense or defense.
Senators Sterling and Lodge. Re
publicans, discussed the subject last
week, urging that for the United States
to yield the right of Germany to sink
defensively armed merchant chips
would be an unneutral act and a step
toward war. In announcing his pur
pose to address the Senate, Senator
Stone said he would answer some of
the arguments made by the Repub
licans, but declared the situation was
of such grave importance that it should
not be debated in the Senate in a parti
san way.
Belief in Gravity Taconcealed.
Preparing for his address, the Mis
souri Senator has conferred with
President Wilson and Secretary Lan
cing and his views on the subject are
being awaited with interest by mem
bers of both houses, who do not con
ceal the belief that the Nation is fac
ing the gravest diplomatic crisis since
the beginning of the European war.
Mexican affairs also are to be aired
again in the Senate. Republican faena
tors are planning to attack the Presi
dent's reDort on Senator Fall's resolu
tion asking for information concerning
the" Carranza government. Senator
Fall has expressed disappointment be
cause the President and Secretary Lan
sing did not disclose diplomatic cor
respondence relating to political con
ditions in Mexico which led to the
recognition of Carranza. In the for
eign relations committee Wednesday
the nomination of Henry Prather
Fletcher as Ambassador to Mexico will
be considered and Administration Sena
tors purpose to demand a vote on a
motion to recommend his confirmation
to the Senate.
Fletcher ConnrmaHon Probable.
Action on the nomination has been
held ud pending the President's Mexi
can report- Now that the report has
been received, whether satisfactory to
the Republicans or not. Democratic
leaders are determined to press for
confirmation. There has been no op
position, even from Republican sources,
to Mr. Fletcher personally, and the
general opinion at the Capital is that
bis nomination will be confirmed be
fore the end of the week.
Other important matters to occupy
the attention of the Senate during the
week will be the Haitien treaty, a
resolution to direct Congressional in
vestigation into charges of inefficiency
of the Army aviation service, continua
tion of the inquiry into the fitness of
Louis D. Brandeis for the Supreme
Court, water-power legislation and
further inquiry into the alleged effort
of American interests to monopolize
the sisal output of Yucatan.
In both houses the preparedness pro
gramme will be urged in committees
which are framing the Army and Navy
bills.
The Kitchin resolution to repeal the
free-sugar clause of the ITnderwood
(Simmons tariff law may be reached
late this week in the House.
Democrats Repudiate Caucus.
Ten Democrats already have notified
Majority Leader Kitchin that they will
not be bound by the caucus decision to
support the measure when a vote is
taken. Other Democrats may Join the
insurgent" ranks, it is said. As yet
no attempt has been made by the oppo
sition to perfect an organization, and
Jt is probable that they will do no
more than speak and vote: against the
bill individually. Majority leaders aver
that adoption of the resolution in the
House is assured.
If consideration of the' free-sugar
resolution does not follow disposal of
the postoffice appropriation bill, which
will be passed early this week, the
Kurnett immigration bill will be taken
up instead. Representative Sabbath
and others opposed to the literacy test
will wage a determined fight on the
floor against the measure. The Asiatic
exclusion bill now is being read by
. paragraphs in the immigration com'
mittee. and its introducer. Represents
tive Raker, of California, hopes to
have it reported.

NEW YORK, Feb. 20. Representa
tives of the anthracite operators and
the United Mine Workers of America
arrived here today to attend the Joint
conference that will open tomorrow to
consider the demands of the miners
for a new wage agreement.
The demands of the union leaders.
who represent more than 175,000 work
ers, in brief are:
A 20 Der cent increase in wages: full
recognition of the United Mine work
ers: a two-year contract instead or tn
existinar four-year agreement, which
expires March 31, ana an eignt-nour
working day.
Representatives of 19 anthracite com'
panies issued a statement here on ueD
ruary 3, in which they attackea tn
miners' demands as unjust and con
tended that to grant the increase would
make necessary an advance ot tu cents
a ton in the price paid for coal by the
consumer.
Short-Term Compact Demanded.
On the other hand, the miners con
tend that -the cost of food in the last
12 years has increased 40 per cent and
wages only 5V4 per cent. The demand
for a two-year, instead of four-year,
agreement is baaed upon the conten
tion that the cost of living is rising so
rapidly that a wage readjustment is
essential at least biennially. John P.
White, oresident of the United Mine
Workers of America, who arrived here
today for the conference, issued a state
ment in which he said:
"The miners are going into this con
ference with every confidence that the
operators will recognize the justice and
reasonableness of their demands and
that a satisfactory agreement will be
signed.
'The only class of workers in the
anthracite industry that make more
than 700 a year are the contract min
ers, representing less than one-fourth
of the total number employed. The
annual earnings for miners, laborers,
other inside men and outside workmen
average not more than $600. Labor
statistics show a man cannot support
his family in decency for less than
750.
Industry Declared Profitable.
"Yet the anthracite industry is enor-
mouslv profitable. The railroads that
own and control It have paid big divi
dends on heavily watered stock and
have laid up huge surpluses besides.
This is a year of prosperity, livery
year is a year ot prosperity ior me
anthracite operators. The miners are
asking only a little part of it as their
share. They are asKing it, not mat
they may become rich they have no
hopes of that. ''
'All my people are asking is a chance
to live in decency and comfort and
security. They want enough to buy
milk for their babies and to give them
a fair start in life and to keep them
selves out of the poorhouse in their
old age. They don't want to be al
ways in debt to the butcher and grocer
and doctor. They don t want their
wives to go about badly dressed and
overworked from keeping a nouse iuii
of boarders."

DECLIAE ATTRIBUTED TO HEAVY

Federal Official Says Section Virtually
la Market to Itself and De
mand Is Limited.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, Feb. 20. The condition of the
market for hogs in the Pacific-Northwest
has been productive of several
calls upon Senator Jones for informa
tion. The Senator has called for a
statement from the Agricultural De
partment, and has received a letter
from the office of markets in which
the chief, Charles L Brand, said that
the condition Is due in part to similar
conditions existing throughout the
country and in part to the unusually
large number of hogs produced in that
section.
showing that at the Portland markets
302,786 hogs were received during 19151
as against 234,4b7 in 1914, and only
36.263 in 1909. The largest number
of cattle received was in 1910, when 89.-
733 were handled. In 1913 80,399 cat
tle were received and in 1915 only 72,-
61. In sheep the high-water mark
was reached in 1911. when 301,052
were received, and the report shows
that only 197,386 were received in 1915.
Mr. Brand says:
"On account of its location in rela
tion to other market centers the Pa
cific Northwest is virtually a market
in itself and, therefore, is somewhat
limited insofar as the demand for meat
products is concerned. This fact, cou
pled with the enormous increase in
production, as shown by the receipts at
the .Portland market, apparently ac
counts, to some extent at least, for
lower hog prices at Portland than at
Chicago, as has been the case during
tne past six months.

Call for 77,000,000 Keet for Portable
Houses Said to Be Open to JVorlh
tveat Competition.
CHICAGO. Feb. 20. (Special.) The
Belgian government is in the market
for 9,000,000 feet of lumber, according
to reports received in Chicago. Of this
amount 3,000,000 feet will be in large,
hewn timbers. Orders are to be placed
on the market through the Belgian
Consul of New Orleans.
Rumors of large orders from Euro
pean governments form one of the most
interesting features of the lumber
market. One order is said to involve
41,000,000 feet, while another still open
to competition in Canada and the
Northwest calls for 77.000.000 feet for
the construction of portable houses.
According to the last of the reports
from J. E. Rodes, secretary ot the
Southern Pine Association, limited
stocks abroad and the urgent needs of
various governments have caused
strong effort to be exerted toward a
greater liberality in the nanaung oi
lumber, and there is every reason to
believe that the export movement will
continue to form an important factor
in the yellow pine situation.
