REFUSE TO
WORK OH SCHOOL
Benson Trade Contractors Are
Declared to Have Broken
Pact With Labor.
JOB MAY BE DELAYED
Savings System for Children Is In
augurated and ISanks Arc to
Co-operate Accounts Will
Be Opened for $5.
Liabor troubles threaten the comple
tion of the Benson Trade School next
Spring as scheduled. The School
Board was told yesterday trfat It is im
possible to get union men. to work therft
because of alleged unfiilr conditions
imposed by the Freilaerg-McLennan
Company, which has the general con
tract. R. N. "Willson, representing -union la
bor, appeared before the School Board
at its meeting yesterday and said that
the contractors had rather misrepre
sented things at that school and had
agreed to observe union conditions on
the work if the unions would make
concessions when the work was first
started.
Agreement Declared Violated.
Mr. Willson said they did so; but the
contractors have failed to live -up to the
agreement, and that as a result union
men will not work on the Job. He
said it is difficult and, in fact, impos
sible to get -union men to work on the
concrete part of the construction, as
well as the plastering. It is said sheet
metal workers employed there quit
work Saturday because nonunion car
penters are employed.
"Dr. Alan Welch .Smith, member of the
Board, told Mr. Willson that the mat
ter is not up to- the directors at all,
and that the condition complained of
s entirely in the hands of the con
tractors,, He said that the contractors
hav'"4 agreed to build the school and if
they Sail to do so. then the Board will
take cognizance of It.
SmlnKl Syntem Approved.
MY. Willson gave the opinion that
the matter will son be one that the
Board will be required to recognize.
A schooT. savings system for the chil
dren was approved yesterday by the di
rectors, having been recommended by
the finance and judiciary committee.
The system ctontemplates the establish
ment of ravings accounts by the pu
pils, the various buildings being ap
portioned among the Clearing-house
banks of the city. Surety bonds will
be required of the banks housing the
savings.
It is suggested that the teachers keep
account of the deposits by the pupils,
and when each has $5 on deposit, a
personal account may be opened by the
pupil.
Mrs. Alexander Wants More Pay.
A. E. Clark, attorney for Mrs. Alevia
Alexander, deposed principal of the
Benson Polytechnic School for Girls, re
turned to the Board a check for $6.73
being salary for the small part of Oc
tober Mrs. Alexander was principal
before her sttspension by Superintend
ent Alderman. Attorney Clark put in
a claim for th full nion;..is salary
The matter was referred to the Ju
diciary committee because Mrs. Alex
ander is now having a hearing on
charges against her.
Delegations appeared before the
Board at yesterday's meeting from va
rious parts of the city, one from Glen
coc district asking that the manual
training department be opened even
ings; another from Irvington askln
for the erection of a playshed at that
school and also for permission to.use
the mainual training facilities on Sat
urdays. The Board received a personal
tender of thanks from the people of
Kranklin High district because of the
fact that the auditorium asked for some
time ago has been included in the
budget for the coming year.
Three bids were received . for the
clock system to be Installed at Ben
son Polytechnic school and they were
referred to the committe on buildings
and grounds.

OROUND AT NEW YARD BROKEN
Albina Concern Gets Ready for Turn
ing Out Steel Carriers.
Grading operations began yesterday
on the old,j Motgomery dock site, where
the main yard of the Albina Engine
& Machine Works will be located for
the construction of steel steamers of
3?00 tons dead-weight cap- Mty. A few
teams were employed, and as soon as
the ground is ready it is expected the
Port of Portland will assign one of its
dredges to make & fill in the rear:
Material for ways, buildings and
platforms has been arranged for and
UNIONS
many details of the shop and yard or
ganization attended to, so when the
fabrication of Fteel starts it will find
many former employes of the company
on deck. News that William Cornfoot.
head of the corporation, had accepted
contracts for two tsteel vessels end
that more would follow has turned the
eyes of steel -workers on the Coast
this way. especially those who had
been on the payroll before
Stranger Resumes Jtun Today.
Oil-burning: equipment aboard the
steamer Stranprer has been overhauled,
as well as other machinery work done,
and she is to go out again on the Port-land-The
Dalles run thic morning, after
being idle since her return Sunday,
when engine trouble prevented .ier

Vessel Reported by Berlin aa Sank in
mediterranean Declared Arabia
ami None Other.
LONDON. Not. 18. The official press
ureau gave out today the following of
ficial German statement:
"On November 6 a German submarine
sank by a. torpedo a hostile transport
of about 12,00-0 tons, eight nautical
miles west of Malta."
The British Admiralty appends this
omment:
"The announcement Is an obvious at-
empt to explain away an outrageous
and inhuman act in torpedoing a mail
teamer without warning. The only
ship sunk in the Mediterranean on No
vember 6 was the Peninsular and Or
iental Mail steamer Arabia, 79.'S3tons,
unk without warning about 300 miles
east of Malta."
BERLIN, Nov. 16. (By wireless to
Sayville, N. Y.) The following an-
ouncement was made today by the Ad
miralty:
A German submarine on November
15, 80 miles west of Malta, sank with
torpedo a. hostile transport steamer
of about 12,000 tons, sailing under con.
oy of destroyers and patrol boats."
The Berlin wireless dispatch and the
able dispatch from London evidently
eferred to the same announcement
from the German Admiralty, the dis
crepancies as to the date and place of
the occurrence probably being due to
rrors in transmission. The date given
in the wireless dispatch, November 15,
robably is incorrect, as ordinarily re
ports on the operations of German sub
marines in the Mediterranean do not
reach Berlin until a week or more after
the events to which they relate have
occurred.

WEST JEFFERSOV FOLKS WANT TO
ME PART OF GRAYS HARBOR.
Round Trii to Principal Seat la ttOO
Miles and Six: Days Will Be
Required to Get Mail.
IlOQUrAM, Wash., Nov. 16. (Spe
cial.) Ranchers of the Queets, Clear
water and Upper Quinault River val
leys are preparing to petition the Leg
islature to divide Jefferson County and
annex Ihe western end to Grays Har
bor County. This word has been
brought to this city by a delegation of
ranchers from the two former valleys,
who came here to interview Represen
tative Albert Johnson, of Hoquiam, and
Linn H. Hadley, of Bellingham, on the
need of mail service to the Queets dis
trict. Western Jefferson County Is settled
only along the Queets and Clearwater
River valleys in the Queets district, and
along the upper Quinault valley north
of Hoquiam. It is for the most part
heav'ily timbered and contains several
townships of state lands of various
classifications, as well as a large area
of the Olympic National Forest. The
district is cut off from the eastern end
of the county by the Olympic Moun
tains, the Olympic forest and by lack
of any means of transportation.
Ranchers in western Jefferson Coun
ty, to reach their county seat. Port
Townsend, must travel about 2J miles
over trails impassable for horses most
of the year, to Lake Quinault. The
lake is crossed by canoe or launch and
from there to Hoquiam the trip is by
auto stage. From this city to Seattle
they go by train, and at Seattle they
board a steamer for Port Townsend.
The round trip is about 600 miles. Mail
from Port Townsend to Clearwater, the
Queets postoffice, would require six
days for transmission if there was no
delay.
REGULATION IS ADVOCATED
Chamber of Commerce Committee
Passes on Railway Question.
At its meeting yesterday noon, the
executive committee of the Chamber
of Commerce favored a plan of th
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States either to take up by referendum
or at Its meeting which starts today at
Washington, D. C, the subject of closer
Federal regulation of railways.
The plan in mind is for the Govern
ment to eliminate as much as possible
the present conflict in some instances
between the Federal and the state gov
ernments in railroad regulation. The
local chamber went on record as favor
lng a simplified and centralized regula
tion, leaving it to the National cham
ber either to institute a referendum or
dscuss it directly at its meeting today,
Four Schooners Sold.
SEATTLE, Wash., Nov. 16. The Port
Blakeley Mill Company has sold the
wooden schooners Willis A. Holden
and Wilbert J. Smith to shipping in
terests of Mobile, Ala., and they will
enter the hardwood trade between Cen
tral-American and Gulf of Mexico ports
The company has sold the schooners
William Nottingham and J. W. Clise
to Norwegian interests which- prob
ably will change their names. The
four boats will be turned over to their'
new owners on completing the voyages
on which they are now engaged.
Second Steamer Catches Fire.
VANCOUVER, B. C, Nov. 16. Fire
broke out last night aboard the TJnio
Steamship Company's New Zealand
freighter Waikawa in a cargo of cop
peras in the after hold. Third Officer
Waterman was removed from the hold
in an unconscious condition, having
been overcome by smoke. This is the
second fire of this sort within the last
24 hours, and while there Is no indica
tion that the fires are anything but
accidental, precautions are- being taken
to prevent further outbreaks. As in
the case of the steamer Waimarino last
night the fire was extinguished by
flooding the hold.
Hunter Found Frozen.
WEXATCHEE, Wash., Nov. 16. The
body of Ray K. Simonds was taken to
North Yakima today after having been
found frozen yesterday in the. wilds of
the .Chelan Mountains. Simonds be
came lost a week ago Monday while
hunting, and seaching parties found his
body 21) miles from the nearest habitation.
ATLANTIC RATE-HIGH
Ocean Freight Charges Go Up
Instead of Down.
FOREIGN VESSELS SCARCE
Two Old-Time Sailers Ileuded Tor
San l-'ranoirico Are Kreneli Harks
General de Negrier and Marie.
Four Others Are En Route.
Instead of a. general drop In rates
on the Atlantic side, where the bulk of
the grain from the NorOwest is find
ing Its way, moving by rail to East
Coast ports, and then being trans
shipped, advices to A. O. Anderson &
Co., of this city, are that they are firm
and gradually advancing.
About a month ago it i said the
freights from the East Coast to the
French Atlantic were from 80 to 85
shillings, and now they are quoted at
S7 shillings, while in the same psriod
the freights to the West Indian trade
have gone from 37s Ad to 40 shillings.
On the Pacific side the decidedly lim
ited amount of tonnage, compared with
the fleet that could be ueed. is holding
rates steady, and shippers say Uiere is
no more reason to expect ships from
the Atlantic tlian there was a year
ago. There is a remarkable absence cf
foreign sailers In the ltet of carriers
bound to Pacific Coast points, though
two old-timers are numbered with
those en route, the French bark Gen
eral De Negrier being 46 days out of
Mejillones for the Golden Gate and the
French bark Marie listed from Valpa
raiso. There are two Peruvian ships and
one Chilean bound for an Francisco;
also one British scZiooner. In the way
of steam tonnage there are vessels of
the British, Japanese and Scandinavian
flags plying In the Pacific trade, but
at that there are more American steam
ers operating on trans-Pacific routes
than before.
The only foreign tonnage on the river
from Portland to the sea is three Ger
man equare riggers, the Arnoldus Vln
nen, Kurt and Dalbek, all of which
have rounded out more than two years
of idleness and, as their owners refuse
to sell, their return to sea depends on
the restoration of peace. .The few men
left aboard have settled down as care
takers, and, while the vessels are In
the best of trim and shipshape from
keel to trucks, the time when they may
spread their canvas again is not even
being wagered on.
OFFSHORE BREEZE CALMS SEA
Beaver Comes From Bear State 'With
Big Cargo of General Freight.
Officers of the flagship Beaver, of
he Kan Francisco & Portland line.
which is now in the harbor from
California, found the sea as smooth
as glass on the way north from
the Golden Gate, due to the east wind
prevailing, and it was decidedly in
contrast to that experienced on the
last voyage from Portland, which was
the teeth of a southerly blow.
The Beaver was heavily laden as
compared with her usual northbound
oad. there being close to 15t0 tons of
general freight and a big shipment of
cement. Dick Martin, steward on the
steamer Bear when she went ashore
June, and who left on the Beaver
last trip as second steward, resigned
at San Francisco to accept a position
as steward on one of the Admiral line
vessels. Chief -Wireless Operator Fast
man, who has been on the Beaver four
years, is again on dut3 after a month's
visit In the East.

As work of tearing away some of the
topside and bulkheads aboard old
Lightvessel No. 50. which Is at Supple's
dock to be converted into a combined
freight and passenger vessel for the
Mexican Coast trade, Mr. Supple says
it becomes more apparent that the ves

GRAYS HARBOR BAR IS DEEPER
Dredge Col. I S. Mitclde Makes Bis
trogress in Fair Weather.
HOQUIAM, Wash.. Nov. 16. rSpe
cial.) The bar dredge. Col. P. S. Michte
already, has been able to make a de
cided improvement in the channel
across the Grays Harbor bar, although
she has been -working less than a week.
Her work also has been aided by the
increased "scour" of the high Winter
tides and freshet water.
froundinss nhow a depth now of 19
feet In the channel at low tide, fri v
inff about 27 to 28 feet at high tide.
This is a deepening of at least two
feet and is sufficient to make navi
gation across the bar safe. The dredge
since coming to the harbor has been
favored by fair weather.

different doc tors and
they ail said I bad

be operated on. I
had suffered for four
years before this
time.but I kept get
tin? worse the more
medicine I took. Every month since I
was a young girl I had suffered with
cramps in my sides at periods and was
never regular. I saw your advertise
ment in the newspaper and the picture
of a woman whe bad been saved from
an operation and this picture waa im
pressed on my mind. The doctor had
given me only two more days to make

drug store at once for a bottle of Lydi

believe me, I only took four doses be

possible t;ie Germans from etablUh

All the attempts to the enemy to

plain away the fact that in three days
the British troops, by the capture of
beaumont and 4t. Pierre livioii and the
semi-circular ridsre they dominated
have gained an important strategical
advantaKe. This rtdjre formed a salient

"Our troops advanced from below
through sticky, hwite -lialk and a net
