18 THE MORNING OltEGOXIAX, FRIDAY, . JANUARY 13, 1917. NORTHWEST STRIKE MAY CEASE TODAY Jf Counter-Proposition Made by Union Is Acceptable . Peace Will Be Declared. MASS MEETING IS CALLED Tomnilsslon of Public Docks Denies Use of Building for Reglstra v tion of Strikers on Theory v That It Must Be Neutral. The strike of metal workers In Port land against the Northwest Steel Com pany may be brought to a close this afternoon. It all depends on the accep tance of the counter proposal that will te made by the unions to President J. IS. Bowles. The proposition of the steel company to the unions has been considered by them, but it is not entirely satisfactory. On that account, the metal workers drew up a counter proposal that was finished late yesterday and this will be submitted to President Bowles today. This afternoon at 2 o'clock a mass meeting of the striking workmen is called at Arion Hall at 2 o'clock. It is lioped by the union leaders to submit to the men the results of the conference with President Bowles at that time and It Is thought not at all unlikely that the strike may be declared ended, at this gathering. "The proposition of the men to Mr. Bowles will. I believe, be conservative, and one that we trust will be satisfac tory to him," said Joseph Reed, chair man of the executive board of the Metal Trades Council. As regards the strike against the Willamette Iron & Steel "Works, it was declared vigorously yesterday by the Striking union men that the walkout Is Still in effect at that establishment. Primarily on the ground that the Commission of Public Docks has to do with the leasing and rental of space for shipping purposes, and secondly that it was opposed to any action that might le viewed as indicating the members took sides in the controversy between steel shipbuilding plants and union or ganizations affiliated with the Metal Trades Council, a request of "W. L. Sul livan, representing the striking metal workers, that a small building on prop erty to the rear of Municipal Dock No. 1 be rented as a place where the strik ers could sign the roll during inclem ent weather, was denied yesterday. Commissioner F. C. Knapp moved that the request be denied on those grounds and was seconded by Commis . eioner A. H. Averill, the motion carry ing. Mr. Sullivan had explained that men reporting at the plant of the Wil lamette Iron & Steel Works, where the strike is on, signed a list each day so as to obtain strike benefits, and that the small building was the only shelter In the vicinity they might obtain dur ing stormy days. BTEEIj strike is condemned Progressive Business Men's Club ; ' Committee Reports. Fears that great damage will be done to the- shipbuilding industry of this city unless the strike now on among the Metal Workers is brought to a speedy conclusion are expressed in a report made to the Progressive Busi ness Men's Club by a special commit tee appointed to investigate the mat ter. The committee, composed of F. T. Richards. C. H. Farrington and J. R. Tomlinson, also points out objections to the closed shop system. "Unless the walkout of men employed In Portland shipyards comes to an early adjustment great damage will result to the city's industrial welfare." says the report. "The new era of prosperity Just beginning to be felt through the im pulse of shipbuilding will come to a 6top. There will be danger that Port land will lose its place as an important shipbuilding center. So long as the strike lasts the industry in the entire Columbia River district will be seri ously affected." The labor unions' Insistence on the use of the terms "working conditions" Jn the framing up of some agreement is characterized as a mere subterfuge to hide the real purpose, which is declared to be that the business agents of the unions have free access to the plant and dictate conditions of employment and questions relating to employment and discharge of workers. f PERSONAL MENTION.

L LINES LOSE SEATTLE'S STREETCAR SYSTEM HAS 985,387 DEFICIT. Only In Two Months In Two and One Half Years Are Revenues Sufficient to Fay Operating Cost. SEATTLE,. Wash, Jan. 11. (Special.) Two and one-half years' operation of streetcar lines cost the City of Seattle $85,387.06 more than the revenues of Division A and the Lake Burien line. This is without talcing into considera tion the report of state accountants that there was a greater loss for the reason that in 1915 the city light de partment furnished power for less than the . cost of production and no charge was made that year, or since, for all of the superintendence and clerical work, which is made a charge in its entirety against the public utilities de partment rather than the street rail way fund. The lines were operated during last month at a loss of $2393.36, according to the statement of Superintendent of Utilities A. L. Valentine. His reports for the year show a total loss in 1916 of $29,417.52. During the months of May and June the lines were operated at a profit sufficient to more than pay the operating cost, but not sufficient to cover the interest. In all other months the revenues were not sufficient to cover the bare operating cost. The city began the operation of streetcars on June 1, 1914, and ton the remainder of that year there was a loss of $14,580.28 and loss for the whole of 1915 of $41,389.26. POWELLS FOUND FROZEN ALDER LOGGER AND BRIDE LO CATED NEAR CASIP. Searchers, Led by Collie, Find Woman Standing With Rifle In Hands, Man Lying; Down. TACOMA, Jan. 11. The bodies of Otto Powell and his bride were found today In the mountains after a search covering about three weeks. December 17 they left on a hunting trip. They froze to death. The bodies are being carried into Alder. Powell was a mem ber of the Powell-Pool Logging Com pany, operating a camp near Alder. The bodies were found on the Little Nisqually River, not far from Mona, by W. D. Stone, of Puyallup, and P. Parmenter, who went into the woods in search of the Powells the day be fore yesterday. Mrs, Powell was leaning up against a tree with a rifle in her hand. Powell was lying beside the river with his head down the stream. Indications were that the pair had frozen to death. Success in finding the Powells is due largely to a collie dog owned by Stone. The bodies were found within a short distance of the place where the searching parties gave up the hunt Tuesday, and not far from the noon day camp that was established by the Powells on a high cliff at the junction of the Little Nisqually River and Mona Creek. They were not more than five miles from camp and almost within hearing distance of the logging camps at Alder. TO BE TARGET COUNTY COMMISSIONERS IRATE AT ACTION OF CHAIRMAN. Support of Vancouver Man for Superin tendent of Interstate Bridge Arouses Strife. Some action for deposing Rufus C. Holman as chairman of the Board of County Commissioners of Multnomah County is expected to come up at a meeting of the Commissioners to be neld today, bucn action has been con templated as a result of Mr. Holman's support or a Vancouver man in prefer. ence to an Oregon man for the position of superintendent of' the new interstate bridge at a meeting of the bridge com mission neld Wednesday. Since Wednesday's meeting Commis sioner Muck has made opon declara tions favoring a change in the chair manship of the Board of County Com missioners and yesterday said he favored the election of Commissioner Holbrook for that position. Commissioner Holbrook declined to discuss the matter last night. He said he did not know whether or not any action would be taken for a change at today s meeting. Commissioner Holbrook said that there was no possibility of the bridge commission getting together to rescind the action of Wednesday when a Van couver man was appointed superin tendent unless some member of that body should signify his desire to change his vote. LIQUOR SELLER FINED $200 Jesse Murphy, Unable to Pay, Faces 100 Days in Jail. Jesse Murphy, arrested by Patrolmen Hill and Spaugh for violating the pro hibition law, was fined $200 by Munici pal Judge Langguth yesterday. He was unable to pay, and probably will serve a 100-day sentence in Jail. Murphy was arrested at Third and Alder streets when he handed a quart of whisky to Patrolman Spaugh for $4. The officer received his information from a waiter, Charles Ellis, it is said, who told him that liquor could be pro cured from Murphy. A complaint was drawn against Ellis by Deputy District Attorney Ryan, charging him with soliciting orders for liquor. He has not yet been arrested. VOTERS TO PASS ON GRAIN ELEVATORS Docks Commission in Favor of Facilities for Handling ' Products in Bulk. GROWERS MAKE DEMANDS Loyalty to Portland Expressed by Inland Empire Men, but They Point Out That Seattle and Astoria Have Plants. Providing bulk grain handling fa cilities at Portland, on which is de clared to hinge the future of this har bor's status as a grain shipping cen ter, is up to the voters and will be de cided by them at the polls In June. Whether an elevator alone or a com bined elevator and warehouse is to Be the plan adopted, and the cost of a plant capable of housing 1.000.000 bushels or more, remain to be worked out, but the Commission of Public Docks has taken a stand in favor of the system and is backed by the grow ers of the Inland Empire. Seattle has had such facilities two years and Is increasing its elevator capacity to 1,000,000 bushels, while at Vancouver. B. C, an elevator Is main tained that cares for 1.200.000 bushels. It is believed the matter of bulk transportation of wheat is no longer in doubt, that vessel owners will in sist on receiving the cereal ' In that manner and if the business is not drawn here through elevator accommo dations it will be diverted.

" i tne committee, fur nished the Commieslon . food for thought yesterday through the follow ing letter: . rth.w",- Grain Convention. In ses- h rthe AK'-iciiltnral College. January 8. 4 and C, appointed a committee to present to your commission the sentiments of the gralnsrowers of Oregon and other Nortn- iTC"k ,ltte"sardlnK tne erection of pub lic bulk-handling terminal elevators at Port land and to secure soma nctin,. w- !VLwUh you or, elsewhere. Since this com! . t, v l"e meeting at some time soon, It has been suggested that I write you r,MInf th" frm. ,n Wh,ch t ma?r h?f.n 5 "rMented tn" 'ould be most Ing JeiuHs yUr comm"",lon accomplish- '"h ay at It eeems to me that the grain business at Portland Is in a critical position Seattle and Astoria have provided terminal facilities and are aggressively after the business. Both cities have bulk-handling, equipment, civic pride and a desire for ei paneion. Seattle's representatives were pres ent at the convention for practically every session end wer active and made a splendid Impression. Too, many of Portland s of ficial representatives were In on the last train that would allow them to fill their dates on the programme and out on- the next one, leaving town. Seattle's representatives presented fa-ts and established equipment Portland's representatives could present only promises that the matter would be taken up Sentiment Is growing to the effect that Port land Is not sincere in the matter, although fFralnRro.weT" of Ea3tera Oregon stood solidly by Portland in a matter of choice between the city and Seattle. The conven tion recognizes the difcicultlee under which the commission works and this committee wishes to render every assistance possible to get action. We believe Portland should have a chance for definite expression of po sition. A letter from yon indicating most effec tive method of procedure and when such meeting with your board can be had will be appreciated, as it will be necessary to gather together members of this committee fr-m various parts of the state. Commlsfiioner la Impressed. Commissioner A. H. Averill. who at tended the convention, covered the sit uation in the following report: The question of properly preparing grain for the maricet. and the best method to be pursued In handling it, both on the ranch and at the terminal, received a great deal of attention at the convention tnd nn n..i,i not help but be Impressed with the fact that M,c re ucepiy jn earnest over the situation and that the handllm? of min in bulk, so far as they are concerned. Is no longer a theory, but Is fast becoming a practice; in fact, becoming a reality more than we perhaps realize. In a paper read before the convention, and which -was prepared bv one nf , v. M fessors of the Agricultural College, it was stated that come 35 elevators for the han dling of bulk grain had already been built in me Loiumnia rtiver .Basin, and that some thing like 100 additional bulk elevators were 1 ' " eietuuo prior to the nan dling of the 1817 crop. The manager of the farmers' elevator at Condon. Or., called attention to the fact that while their elevator was only ererreri i. year, yet they already contemplated Increas ing its capacity and. In fact, had partially prepared plans for increasing Its present ca pacity of some SO.OOO bushels by two units aggregating Dusnels. In a conversation with F. c. Burrell. manager of the Burrell Engineering & Con struction Company, who makes a specialty of designing and building grain elevators, he informed roe that in his opinion the handling of grain in bulk was no longer a theory, but was fast materializing Into a realty. If the agitation concerning the balk han dling of grain was confined to any one lo cality In the Columbia River Basin It might be a question for the future to handle, but from the interest shown at this convention from the various sections of the entire dis trict, and from the earnestness with which all discussions were entered Into, It is my opinion that the bulk handling of wheat is an actuality to be reckoned with, and I am of the opinion that immediate steps should be taken by Portland interests to pre pare public facilities for hanOllng grain in bulk, and I think that now is not too early for the UocU Commission to begin seriously considering any problems which may con front thm to provide proper facilities for taking care of the grain raised in the terri tory naturally tributary to this port. If we do not prepare for taking care of the products of these farmers we may ex pect to see them pntronlze other ports that are wilUng to provide them with proper facilities. Seattle Is bidding for the business and they will leave no stone unturned to get it. The chairman of the Port of Seattle was In attendance at the meeting and ex plained to the farmers and graingrowers how they were prepared to handle their crop and how they had already Installed the latest type of machinery for cleaning and washing the grain to make it more accept able in tl.e market, and even how they were prepared to assist ths farmer and grain grower In procuring 6 per cent money from his local banker with which to handle his crop. Growers Ixyal to Portland.' The graingrowers in the Columbia River Basin are loyal to Portland, and want to do business through this port, but they must be furnished with equal facilities which they may enjoy la other ports to cause them to come here. A committee was appointed at the conven tion from among the leading graingrowers who will soon come to Portland to confer with the Dock Commission to ascertain as to what we propose doing here to enable then to patronize this port in the marketing of their bulk grain. This matter Is an Important one for this port, and In my opinion should receive the Immediate and earnest consideration of all citizens and organizations who are anxious to sea this port develop as it should. Commissioner Averill added verbally that he understood the attitude of the growers was that they would demand of Portland the establishment of the bulk equipment, and if unsuccessful they would arrange to send their busi ness through a gateway that would provide the elevator. 'UNDERHAND' PROBE HIT PORT COMMISSION ASKS CONFIRMA TION OF AI?FnED TUCKER. New Member Applies Criticism to In ' vestiKatlon Being; Made for Individuals Unnamed. "Underhand and unknown persons" was the manner in which Alfred Tucker, of the Port of Portland Com mission, referred to men alleged to be responsible for steps taken to investi gate the affairs of the Commission. Testerday'smeeting was featured by action of those present. Commission ers R. D. Inman. D. C O'Reilly. Cap tain J. W. Shaver, Captain A. L. Pease tind Captain E. W. Spencer, in adopting a resolution, recommending to the Leg islature that its members confirm the election of Mr. Tucker as a member of the board he having been named since the last session of the Legislature, and succeeded 8. M. Mears. Under the Port of Portland act the Legislature must confirm appointees not made directly by It. On the resolution being read and passed. Mr. Tucker thanked his col leagues for the confidence reposed in him, the tribute to his ability and his wide knowledge of maritime matters and the needs of the Port, "As the board is under fire at pres ent by underhand and unknown per sons, I feel that it would be unfair and unjust for mo not to stay, said Mr. Tucker. "I have enjoyed being with you in this work, yet have no desire to enter into any fight, but un der the circumstances feel that it is my duty to remain." In the course of a discussion of the investigation. Commissioner O'Reilly said he "did not like this sub rosa un derhand method" employed. An expert accountant retained by Mr. Bristol went over the records Tuesday and Wednes day, and it is understood Mr. Bristol is now engaged in scrutinizing them. That eight responsible business men are concerned in the movement to take up the affairs of the Port was said yesterday at the meeting to have been ascertained. SULPHUR COMES, LUMBER GOES British Columbia Arrives from Van couver With Shipment- Vancouver. B. C, and Portland are exchanging business, the British steam er British Columbia, a small carrier, having reached the harbor last night from the north with 600 tons of sul phur, which was brought from the Far Bast on the Japanese steamer Unkai Maru No. 5. The steamer Grace Dollar, of the well-known Dollar fleet, loaded her second shipment of lumber at the plant of the Peninsula Lumber Com pany and sailed for Vancouver, where the material is to be reshipped to the Orient. The Grace Dollar came here from San Francisco, bringing a boiler for the Peninsula plant, then she took on 260. 000 feet of timber, valued at $4000, for Vancouver. It is expected that the business will be fairly regular for a time. SIX-DAY SCHEDULE ARRANGED Xorthwestern's Desertion of Run to South Causes Change. S.Uf JRANCISCO, Jan. 11. (Special.) G. L.

C NEWPORT IS READY Citizens Will Match Appropria tion for Channel Work. ARMY TO GET PROPOSAL B. F. Jones Is Here to Present Ar guments Before Major Jewett, Corps of Engineers, in Be half of Yaquina Bay. Lincoln County's wealth of billions of feet of standing timber, the promise of timbermen and sawmill operators that 1 1.000,000 will be invested immediately in getting out material, and that the taxpayers of the district stand ready to match the Government appropria tion dollar for dollar, sum up in brief arguments that B. F. Jones, of New port, representing the Port of Yaquina Bay, expects to present this morning before Major H. C. Jewett, Corps of Engineers. U. 6. A., when a hearing will be held dealing with improvements wanted on that waterway. "It was 22 years ago that final work was done on the north and south jet ties at the entrance to Yaquina Bay, and it has been proved beyond question that the Jetties have held the depth there to 16 feet at mean lower low tide." said Mr. Jones. "We believe that the channel can be, deepened to 22 feet at low water at a cost of less than $500,000. the principal means being the recon ditioning of the Jetties and extending the south jetty about 2000 feet and the north Jetty 1000 feet. Originally they were 1000 feet long. "A surjrey was made there last sea son by the Government engineers, and they have all information covering the situation. At tomorrow's hearing we will present arguments, as well as fur nishing data, as to commerce, the at titude of the taxpayers of the district and prospects for domestic and off shore trade if our plans are realized. From that showing we hope recom mendation will be made to Washing ton in our behalf. "As far as Yaquina thefe Is a 16- foot channel and from there to Toledo the road Is 10 feet deep at low water, the- latter channel having been dug by tne ort under private contract. Add ed to those depths is tidal influence. but the aim of the district is to inter est the Government in a co-operative project, t'ortlanders have aided us in this campaign and we appreciate what the Portland Chamber of Commerce has done and insists on doing now, so with tnis city interested to that extent there is every reason to believe our mission will not be fruitless."

DOCK SHORTAGE HURTS PORTLAND DEBARRED FROM MUCH GOVERNMENT BUSINESS. Orrgon Cement Plants Shut Oat of Competition on nig; Army Order for Hawaii. Because the Government maintains docking- facilities at both San Francisco and Seattle and never has provided facilities in Portland's harbor. Port land has lost immense volumes of Gov ernment shipping; contracts. -fc.mpb.asis on this discrimination again was made yesterday when it was learned that OreBon cement manufac turers will be shut out of competition for supplying the Army with 67.000 barrels of cement for which bids recently were asked. As soon as the Portland Chamber of Commerce learned of tho proposals telegrams were dispatched to Senator Chamberlain at Washington ursine him to -obtain if possible a modification of the requirement of load In r the cement at other ports than this city. Senator Chamberlain replied yesterday that the Quartermaster-General had refused to change the specification providing that tho material he delivered either at San Francisco or Seattle. The position was taken that each carfro would contain lumber and miscellaneous articles. In addition to cement, and that an extra expense would be entailed to send ves sels to Portland to take on the cement alone, no provision having been made to work cargo here. Senator Chamberlain stated In his telegram that he was sending: by letter full details regarding his conference with the Quartermaster-GeneTal. The cement which the Government Is bidding for will be used In construc tion at Schofield Barracks near Hono lulu. STATE VESSEL WANTED PILOT SCHOONER IS TO BE KEPT OFF RIVER IS DESIRED.
