The meetings were held in secret. Following prolonged discussion, which took up practically all the angles of production and demand, a permanent executive committee was appointed to meet two or three times a week in order to keep in close com munication with the development of the demands for the short working day.

Jerome, Seattle. Mr. Jerome was elected treasurer of the fund. The following resolution was adopted by unanimous vote: Resolved. That the establishment of an eight-hour day in the lumber industry at this time, when production in all manufac turing industry must bo maintained at its maximum Is Impossible, and that employers therein hereby Dledjre themselves unequiv ocally to maintain a 10-hour day for the purpose of maintaining" the maximum pro duction in the lumber industry. Competition Is Marked. General discussion of the eight-hour day, demanded by the shingle workers effective July 16 and advances in pay already granted by individual lumber mills was entered into. It was devel oped in speeches by members of the executive committee that the "West Coast lumber industry is in keen com petition with Southern pine and other sections, all operating on a 10-hour basis, due to the heavy demand more upon' their plants for material and that should the wage scale now de manded be instituted, it was declared. It would be impossible to meet such competition. Lumber and shingle manufacturers from the Columbia River to Blaine were present. PORTLAND SHY DELEGATES River District Sends Xo Spokesmen to Toledo Longshoremen's Meet. Portland and Columbia River long shoremen are not represented directly at the annual convention of the Inter national Longshoremen's Association, which was convened yesterday at To ledo, O. It is understood the sessions will continue two weeks, and among the Important features will be ballot ing for the election of president. T. V. O'Connor, incumbent, has held the of fice a number of years, and it is said he will have a strong opponent in the person of Dick Butler, who was active at the San Francisco convention two years ago. At a recent district convention of Coast organizations, held at Seattle, the Willamette and Columbia River dis trict did not send delegates, so it has no representation at the international gathering. Since a general strike along the Coast a year ago the Oregon unions have dealt largely with the em ployers direct, and in that way recently were granted a rise on all but the big coastwise fleets, which are expected to meet the advance shortly. DREDGE MICHIE HAS RECORD Month's Work of Dredge Chinook Is Exceeded by 990 Yards. MA RSHFIELD, Or.. July 9. (Spe cial.) The bar dredge Col. P. S. Michie, operating in the harbor, is credited with two records in June; the first for ex cavating more sand in 24 hours than at any time before since being employed here; the second a Pacific Coast record for a full month's work. According to information here, the dredge Chinook held the month's record for bar dredg ing, with a slight advance over 313,000 yards, made in a month of 31 days. The Michie worked through June, a 30-day month, and excavated and dis charged at sea 313,990 yards. The work was accomplished only through the deep interest taken by the crew. The Michie carries a double crew and the shifts are of eight hours each. The largest day's work was 19,123 yards, removed on June 26. Figured on a cost basis, the dredging of June cost 2 1-3 cents per yard. Junior Engineer James H. Polhemus is working in his third year on the Michie, after having visited all the eastern and southern dredging locali ties. The previous two years the Michie left 30 feet of water on the bar when she was removed to other ports in the FalL but the Spring each year found the bar shoaled to about 23 feet.

"Women's patriotic night at the Hei Hg' Theater last nig-ht swelled the war relief funds of the Oregon Equal Suf frage Alliance, offered opportunity for the women of Oregon to present the cause of constructive equal suffrage to a large audience of thinking people, and demonstrated at the same time that a night at the motion pictures can be made a social success. It was an exemplification of a "woman's way' of providing a benefit at which the pub lic paid, but was entertained in return. The motion pictures and. tri-colored photography of Sir Douglas Mawson's expedition to the South Pole regions, which are at the Heilig all week, with varied and interesting travel and wild animal life studies, were the announced rogramme, but a distinctive feature was the music programme contributed by Hartrldge Whipp, Portland baritone. nd Mrs. Thomas Carrick Burke, and the heart-to-heart talk on women's part In the war by Dr. Esther Pohl- Lovejoy.

SHIPS TO HAVE TRAILERS Vessels Without Machinery Could Be Built Quickly and " Each Could Carry 2 500 Tons of Produce Across Atlantic. Dreeon wooden ehlobuilders are In terested In talk now Indulged in that the Government plans the construc tion of about 1000 wooden barges of 500 tons, deadweight, to be towed by hins now moving into the war zone. So long as the self-propelled vessels are convoyed by Navy ships to protect them against submarines. It is rea soned that some of them could tow a barge handily. As compared with wooden steamers, the barges could be constructed much more rapidly and carry within 1000 tons of some of the steamers already contracted for. They would also be available for loading at certain ports with cargo to be assembled at other points for shipment in fast steamers. Latest of the Government contracts awarded in this district were closed for last week by the St.. Helens Ship building Company, two steamers being accepted. The company has two ves sels under way at the plant, the five- masted auxiliary schooner John W. Wells, which is a duplicate of the City of St. Helens, except that the Wells will be a double-decked ship and the first of the kind built at St. Helens, also a five-masted topsail schooner for Balfour, Guthrie & Company. Frames for the John W. Wells are being cut The'saiUng vessel is all in frame and a start has been made on the ceiling. The Government steamers are to be laid down unier new plf.ns gotten out. there being more dead rise as com pared with the first ships, and there are other changes regarded by build ers as generally improving them. The first will be ready in 10 months and the second in 12 months. Machinery will be built in the East. At Somarstrom Bros.' yard, at Colum bla City, below St, Helens, a 60-room hotel is being erected for the yard force, also a dock, and four to six ways will be put in. The company is expected to close for Government ships shortly. At the Supple & Ballln yard, foot of East Oak street, the work of laying a keel for the first of eight Government steamers there has been started on ways No. 3. and another will go down In ways No. 4 in a day or two. The big motorships on ways No. 1 and No. which are for Gaston, Williams & Wlgmore, of New York, will be afloat the last of the month, and two more Government ship keels will go down tnere. WAR BARON IS HELD BACK Steering Engine From East Altered to Insure Prompt Response. Failure of the steering engine of the new British steamer War Baron to respond properly when she was started from the plant of the Willam ette Iron & Steel Works for Puget Sound yesterday resulted in the man agement of the works recalling her to the dock for minor alterations to the engine. She proceeded last night to Linnton to fill her fuel oil tanks, being expected to get away early today. The steering engine was manufac tured at Philadelphia and it was said yesterday that it could not be thor oughly tested before, the ship not hav ing been under way, bo the difficulty was not known. Captain M. Moran, of the Columbia River Pilots' Association, was selected to take the big ship down stream and after one of the lower river pilots guides her outside she will be turned over to Captain "Buck" Bailey, well-known Puget Sound pilot, who is to deliver her at Seattle.
