MINISTERS DIFFER ON PREPAREDNESS Methodists, Baptists, Pres byterians Are Lukewarm or Else Opposed. FEW EXPECTED IN PARADE Some Individuals Have Favored Demonstration, but Ministerial Associations Do Not Muni tion Propaganda Hinted. The clergy in at least three denomin ations probably will ' not be strongly represented in the patriotic demonstra tion Saturday night, June 3, when the citizenship of Portland will march to give voice to its belief in peace through adequate preparedness. The ministerial associations of the Methodist, Presbyterian and Baptist Churches, meeting yesterday, all took a position of positive opposition or Iukewarmness, and In the Presbyterian Ministerial Association the representa tive of the parade committee who pre- sented the matter to them was assailed with sharp cross-examination and in sinuations that the movement was backed by munition makers, who would profit from a programme of military preparedness. Methodist Vote Optional. A motion that the Methodist ministers participate was brought before their association, but was checkmated by the Rev. A. F. Cramer, the Rev. R. E. Smith, and others, who took the position that the ministers should have nothing to do with the parade. A substitute mo tion was adopted finally, after the rep resentative from the committee on the parade had assured the reverend gen tlemen that there was no disposition on the part of anybody to coerce them into a popular demonstration with which they might not be in sympathy, appointing a committee to receive the names of those Methodist ministers who desire to participate in the parade. Rev. C. E. Clme and several otner Methodist ministers, who were not rep resented in the meeting yesterday, have signified their intention of participat ing in the patriotic demonstration, but the position of the Ministerial Asso ciation of the Methodist Church is neg ative. Presbyterians Are Inactive. "No action was taken on the matter. and I believe that very few of the Presbyterian ministers will participate n the parade," said the Rev. Henry Marcotte, yesterday afternoon, sum ming up the position of the Presby terian Ministerial Association. "The Baptist Ministerial Association declined to take any action on the sub ject of ministerial participation in the preparedness parade," said the Rev. VV. O. Shank, of the Baptists. "I think it unlikely that there will be any material representation from them in the march Saturday night." The representative from the parade committee who waited upon the Metho dist and Presbyterian ministers was in formed by them that the W. C. T. U. had also taken a position opposed to the parade. The ministerial branch or the profes sions is thus far the only one in which there has appeared any .indication of a disposition to oppose the proposed pop ular patriotic demonstration. , CRAFT PROVES STAUNCH Kits ah n buffets oai.k ox trii TO SEATTLE.

TWO SUSPKXDED BY INSPECTORS Trials Conducted of Licensed Officers Becanse of Accidents. On charges of carelessness. First Of ficer K. Detlefsen, of the steam schoon er Alcatraz, who took that vessel through the Rogue River reef May 26. and Captain J. J.

A report from the mate was included in which he accepted full responsibility. The vessel touched once but is not believed to have been damaged. In the case of the Break water, on investigation was held yes- terday morning and the trial of Cap tain Anderson, followed. HIGH FRESHET NOT PROBABLE Weather Man Finds Mantle of Beauti ful Gone From Lower Levels. E. A. Beals. District Forecaster of the Weather Bureau, brought good news yesterday on his return from a tour of Eastern Oregon, to the effect ob servations led him to believe that there would not be more than 22 or 23 feet of water above zero here with ordi nary warm weather, and that if it sets In unusually hot the stage would not exceed 24 or 25 feet. In his opinion. Snow is practically out of the foot hills, reported Mr. Beals, and while it is abundant in gulches and valleys on highlands, that is well packed and therefore expected to melt slowly. In formation gathered by the Weather Bureau before the return of Mr. Beals was that there was plenty of snow on the foothills and that quantities had been added in Idaho and at certain places near the Columbia a few weeks ago. For that reason the outlook here was admittedly uncertain. EXCURSION TRIPS OX TODAY Vessels to Leave for Columbia and Willamette River Points.

TOW PRICES MAY ADVANCE Mill Threatens to Close if Log- Hanltng Cost Advances Long shoremen May Secure Con cessions on Demands. In the action of some of the deck crew of the steamer Diamond O and the steamer Ocklahama walking ashore yesterday, even though steamboat own ers have until 8 o'ciock Thursday morn Ins In which to comply with demands of the River Steamboat Mens Union, some along the waterfront regard it as presaging a strike. Other men are said to have given up their places since the ultimatum of the union was issued. It is ald, and owners look upon the situation as one in which men who have been on steamers lengthy periods do not want to be concerned In a general walkout. The replacing of men ud to this time is declared to have been an easy matter, though In the event of all men quitting It Is averred no concerted programme has been decided on to fill their places. One firm engaged in towing notified mlllmen yesterday that should a pro longed strike ensue It would be neces sary to Increase towing rates, where upon the mill management Is quoted as having said they will shut down their plant rather than- shoulder additional expense getting logs. bteamboat owners have announced $45 will be the wages paid after June 1, an increase of J5 a month, while the union insists that $50 be paid. On cer tain runs the owners declare such an advance cannot be met at existing rates, and the latter must be main tained in competition with rail lines. Charles Bennett, business agent for the union, said last night that men left the Diamond O because of individual trouble with the mate. The organiza tion, he says, expects a definite answer from the owners today. The demand of longshoremen for an Increased scale at all ports is another topic in shipping circles, but It was the impression yesterday that some, if not all, of the longshore workers' de mands would be acceded to. There are only two offshore vessels on the river that might be involved in the event of a strike, the schooner Alumna, which goes to Knappton today for a lumber cargo, and the schooner A. K. Coates. which is ready to shift from Rainier to complete her cargo at Wauna. The British steamer Photlnla is due short ly to load ties on the lower river for London, also the Union liner Waimarino to work paper for Australia. The principal contention regarding the new scale Is on Puget Sound, as a heavy volume of business is handled there, and the scale provides for an in crease there of all existing rates. Port land shlpplngmen hold that the great est burden this city faces under the lat est scale Is in handling lumber and cer tain grain cargoes made up of trnusu ally large bags for handling which higher wages are insisted on. LONGSHORE STRIKE IS NEARER 12,000 Men Arfected When Employ ers' I'nion Refuses Demands. SAN FRANCISCO, May 29. A srtike of 12,000 longshoremen employed in Pa cific ports between San Diego and Alaska was brought a step nearer to day by 'the action of the AVaterf ront Employers' Union, which met and formally rejected the demands of the Riggers' and Stevedores' Union. According to the secretary of the labor organization, this action means that the strike will take place auto matically on June 1. unless the employ ers take steps to avoid It. The effect of a strike would be vir tually to tie up all the deepwater ship ping of San Francisco and other Pa cific Coast ports. Asked what steps the employers would take to load and move ships in the event of a strike, C. W. Cook, of the American-Hawaiian Steamship Company, president of the organization. refused to say. declaring: "We are not going to play poker with our cards on the table." The longshoremen demand a flat rate of 65 cents an hour. he present rate being 50 cents, and overtime ok $1 an hour. In a statement issued by the employers'- union following its meeting, the demands of the longshoremen are de clared to be unreasonable and impos sible to meet. It also declares that the employes violated an existing agree ment which requires that 0 days' no tice be given before any change In the agreement is made. No such notice was given. It is stated. The stevedores have expressed the belief that the employers' will be forced to meet their demands rather than per mit their ships to He idle. FREIGHTS REPORTED EAs'lER Charters for China and West Coast Done at $30. Lumber freights on the Pacific are reported easier, though the charter of the schooner Fearless last week at $30 a thousand feet. Is said to have been followed by another engagement for the same voyage. Columbia River to China, at J5. The schooner Alert has been taken for the West Coast at $30. From the mainland to the Hawaiian Islands $17.50 has been paid, and $20 now is asked. Many vessels have been taken for Australia, to load the latter part of 1917. and at fairly stiff rates, and. at least among Portland firms, no decided shading of freights is admitted. As to coastwise freights, $7 was paid in one instance for lumber from Grays Har bor to San Pedro, and now the rates are said to be from $5.75 to $6 for San Francisco delivery, and $6.50 to $6.75 for San Pedro and San Diego.
