APPROPRIATIONS TO
BE IDE AT ONCE
House First to Rush Through
Legislation Bearing on In

Republican Leaders Oppose Coali

to Elect Mann Speaker Dem

WASHINGTON. March 28. House
leaders. Democrats and Republicans,
began conferences today to pave the
way tor quick action on appropriation
bills and legislation bearing on the in
ternational crisis regardless of which
party organizes the House when the
extra session begins Monday.
Speaker Clark, Democratic Leader
Kitchin. Republican Leader Mann and.
Representative Fitzgerald agreed ten
tatively that the big appropriation bills
which failed at the last session should
be reintroduced in the form in which
they originally passed the-House, acted
upon without delay, under a suspension
of the rules, and sent to the Senate.
They also agreed that should either
party organize the House the minority
representation on all committees should
be raised several members.
Committee Assignments Prepared.
Democratitc members of the ways
and means committee of the last Con
gress, who will serve in the incoming
Congress, conferred on committee as
signments for their party, confident
that, as heretofore, their caucus will
name them to make the selections. The
meeting was executive, but it was un
derstood an agreement was reached to
reassign all committee chairmen of the
last Congress who will serve in the
coming Congress and advance most of
the Democratic ranking members to
chairmanships.
Democratic leaders continued today
to express confidence that the dissatis
fied element of their party would make
no serious objection to the committee
designations as planned by the ways
and means members, but all or tnem
are awaiting the coming of Repre
sentative Galllvan. of Massachusetts,
before they will say finally that the
anti-prohibitionists will not cause some
trouble. Representative Galllvan is
credited with controling 20 or more
votes. Representative Caldwell, of New
York, who has been classed as an in
surgent, reached hero today and
promptly declared that he would be
regular.
Mann to Be Candidate.
Save for a statement by Mr. Mann
that he expected to see tickets placed
in the field by both parties, it was
nuiet in Republican circles. Mr. Mann
declared that while he still believed a
coalition organization of the House
would' be the wise and patriotic move,
he was willing- to be and expected to
be the regular Republican candidate for
Speaker if one was named.
Some members professed to see a
possibility of Representative Lenroot,
of Wisconsin, who has publicly op
posed the Mann coalition plan, being
nominated as the Republican candidate
for Speaker. Mr. Lenroot had no fur
ther comment to make on the situa
tion. Representative Hill, of Connecticut,
the veteran Republican tariff expert,
who has been ill, appeared at the House
today and declared he would be in his
seat next Monday. He expressed dis
approval of the coalition organization
plan.
Representative Fitzgerald, of New
York. also declared emphatically
against any bi-partisan agreement.
EGG FETE TO BE SHIFTED

as the White House itself will be
abandoned this year because of the In

bad. The authorities had hoped the
new government would be able to con
trol all sections of the population and
that the result would be a stronger
offensive by the Russian armies. But
reports received indicate that all is not
going well in the land of the Bear and
that the new government has not the
stability which had been hoped.
This fact, of course, Is known In
Berlin, which has had Its agents ac
tively at work-throughout Russia. Von
Bethmann-Hollweg's speech without
doubt will be tactfully prepared In
order to be welcomed In Russia.
Rumors that Germany has proposed
a separate peace to the new govern
ment at Petrograd have no confirma
tion here. No surprise, however, will
be expressed should it develop that
the rumors are true In such matters
Germany would not move officially.
MAKING IT PLAIN
The Pure Food and Drag Laws aim
to protect the public by preventing
mis-statements on the labels of prepa
rations but some people continue to
accept "extracts" of cod livers think
ing they will get the benefits of an
emulsion of cod liver oil.
The difference is very great. An
"emulsion" contains real cod liver oil,
which has had the hearty endorse
ment of the medical profession for
many years, while an "extract" is. a
product which contains no oil and is
highly alcoholic.
Scott's Emulsion guarantees the high
est grade of real Norwegian cod liver oil,
skilfully blended with glycerine and
hypophoepbites. Scott's is free from the
false stimulation of alcohol and is en
dorsed by good physicians everywhere.

Her conversations would be of the
most informal and private character
and would become public only when
results were obtained.
To disclose the attitude of General
Carranza. the State Department has sent
instructions to Ambassador Fletcher,
accredited to the Mexican government,
directing him to make inquiries as to
German activities in the neighboring
country, which were described In The
Oregonian this morning.
The War Department today denied
that any large number of German re
servists were passing from the United
States across the border into Mexico.
The route followed has been via Cuba.
German reservists also have been en
tering Mexico from South America
Reports that a large body of these
reservists had assembled at Torreon, a
strategic railroad point in Northern
Mexico, will be among the matters in
vestigated by Mr. Fletcher.
Action Depends on Reply.
Above all, the President desires to
know what will be the policy of Car
ranza in the- event of war between the
Unltetl States and Germany. The Am
bassador will seek to get the facts in
this connection and communicate them,
with his opinion, to the State Depart
ment. If Mexico intends -to be hostile,
preparations to deal with her will be
made.
An important economlo question has
been raised by the Argentina embargo.
The allies have been receiving great
quantities of wheat and beef from the
South American country. They will
now be forced to buy more from the
United States, which will affect the
market here and perhaps further boost
the. cost of living.

LABOR PLANS IDE
Means of Getting Workmen
for Government Outlined.
FEDERATION PLEDGES AID
Officials at Washington Confer
With Leaders to Plan Way to
Get Most Efficient Help In
Yards and Arsenals.
WASHINGTON, March 28. Mobiliza
tion of labor for Government service in
event of war was planned today at a
conference of officials and labor lead
ers in the office of Secretary Wilson.
Means were agreed upon for making
readily available enough workmen to
insure operation of Government ship
yards and arsenals and of plants work
ing on Government contracts.
Officials, profiting by the experiences
in England, are determined that if the
country takes an active part in the
European war it shall not be embar
rassed by labor troubles.
The American Federation of Labor,
which has pledged Its membership to
support the Government, was repre
sented today by its president, Samuel
Gompers. Through the federation the
Government expects to get trained
workmen. The Linited States public
employment service will furnish un
skilled men. and the Civil Service Com
mission will supply clerical help. The
Postofflce Department will advertise
the country's needs. The Council of
National Defense, of whose labor com
mittee Mr. Gompers is chairman, also
will co-operate.
Resources to Be Mobilised.
"The purpose of the conference," said
Secretary Wilson, "was to find ways
and means to prevent overlapping of
effort in mobilizing the resources of
industries for the support of the Gov
ernment. We are planning to work to
gether first to find where help, male
and female, can be located quickly for
the Navy-yards, arsenals and for other
factories of the Government and for
any private plants working on supplies
for the Government; second, to ascer
tain the fitness of any offered workers
and where they best can be employed;
and third, to smooth their way to the
work where they are needed."
In obtaining men for mechanical
service, the Civil Service Commission
will waive scholastic qualifications and
will examine applicants for physical
fitness and mechanical experience only.
"In reaching the country," Secretary
Wilson said, "the whole power of the
local unions of the American Federa
tion of Labor will be availed of. The
Postofflce Department has agreed to
transmit information and aid by post
ing advertising material also. The
Civil Service Commission has a force
of 3000 boards of examiners and the
country is divided for their purposes
into 12 districts, the whole force in
each of which can serve in examining
men. The field forces of the Bureaus
of Immigration and Naturalization. La
bor Statistics and Children's Bureau
will work as temporary examiners.
Examinations Are Outlined.
"The Government will appreciate the
active assistance of all organizations
and civilians having means of co-operating
'with these officers in locating
and preparing persons desiring em
ployment under the Government for ap
pointment. In given places the Civil
Service Commission will furnish the
examinations. United States Employ
ment Service's 80 stations through the
United States will be solidly engaged
and will co-operate with the Civil
Service Commission also for work
under private concerns doing work for
the Government.
"These plans propose utilizing the
machinery already in existence to meet
the immediate needs of the Govern
ment for workers, and do not inter
fere with the plans being developed by
the sub-committee of the advisory com
mittee of the Council of National De
fense dealing with the mobilization of
labor."

KANSAS CITY. Mo.. March 28. Re
cruits for the Navy are being received
at the naval enlisting office here in

taches of the office said today. A.
much larger percentage are being ac
cepted than normally.

cent of the men offering themselves

tache of the office said. "Now, how

DANIELS GAGS ADMIRAL
FISKE NOT PERMITTED TO TELL
"MIND OF THE NAVY."
Retired Officer Said to Have Spoken
Previously Against His Orders
Tkrongk Misunderstanding;.
NEW YORK, March 28. Rear-Ad-mlral
Bradley A. Fiske, TJ. S. N., retired,
who had been expected to speak on
"The Mind of the Navy," before the
New York Electrical Society tonight,
was- unable to deliver his address be
cause Secretary of the Navy Daniels
withheld his permission, it was an
nounced by George H. Guy, secretary
or tne society.
Secretary Daniels recently sent a note
to Admiral Fiske directing him not to
make public speeches without special
permission. Mr. Guy said he made a per
sonal appeal to Secretary Daniels, who
expressed sympathy at the predicament
of the society, but said he did not feel
he could change his ruling in respect
to Admiral Fiske. Mr. Guy left with
the Secretary a copy of the speech the
Admiral intended to deliver with the
request that it be censored by some one
in the Navy Department. Mr. Daniels
retained the speech and said he would
look it over, Mr. Guy said.
Secretary Daniels returned the speech
this morning, according to Mr. Guy,
with a note saying the rule relating
to Admiral Fiske still held. Mr. Guy
tnen called Washington on the tele
phone, and told the Navy Department
he had read in the newspapers that
Admiral .iske had spoken here last
night. He was informed, .he declared,
that the address of Admiral Fiske,
which was at a meeting arranged by
the Navy League of the United States,
had ' been without the knowledge or
permission of vne Navy Department, al
thought it had been announced that the
speech had been approved by Secretary
Daniels.
Mr. Guy said he then made Inquiries
in this city and said that Admiral Fiske
spoke last night "through a misunder
standing by some one as to the mean
ing of a communication from Washing
ton denying him permission to speak."
In his address at the Navy League
meeting Admiral Fiske declared there
were at least an even chance that Ger
many would be victorious in the war,
and that she might be able to dictate
terms of peace, which would permit her
to send her fleet to this side of the
Atlantic.
Rear-Admiral E. Peary urged the es
tablishment of a separate department
of aeronautics, independent of the
Army and Navy, in charge of a man
with a seat in the President's Cabinet.
For this post he proposed either Theo
dore Roosevelt or Major-General W.
Goethals.

fied that Mr. Kroner, "because of his
apparent Teutonic origin," would not
be appointed to a position as special
agent In Europe, and for the Chamber
again to urge the appointment after
this explanation had been made, he
says, was both Indelicate and Improper.
Mr. Redfield further says that the
Portland Chamber- of Commerce is a
co-operative branch of the Bureau of
Foreign and Domestlo Commerce, of
which Mr. Pratt is chief, and because
of the Chamber's insistent efforts in
behalf of Mr. Kroner, he has been
forced to consider the advisability of
suspending the co-operative arrange
ment with the Portland body, as Its
officers apparently fall to appreciate
the. responsibility resting on them
under this co-operative agreement.
However, he will not take this de

notice he will sever connections be

ment if the Chamber again attempts to
secure the appointment of any special
