WAGES TO BE FIXED
Government Will Direct Work
at Steel Plants. -
CLOSED SHOP IS EXPECTED
Captains Plllsbury and Blaine,
Representatives of Snipping
Board, Expected in Port
land to Arrange Details.
Shipbuilders expect Captain Pills
bury, of San Francisco, in charge of
vessels under way, and contracted for,
on the Pacific Coast for the United
States Shipping Board, and Captain
Blaine, district officer, with headquar
ters at Seattle, to visit Portland today
or tomorrow, and probably go into a
number of details relative to the .big
fleet.
One of the principal problems build- ,
era are concerned with at present is
the Government's attitude as to wages
and working conditions. At the steel
shipbuilding plants, it is said the un
derstanding is the shipping board will
look after those matters, regulating
.wages and working conditions, and, if
that organization exercises jurisdic
tion, it Is believed a uniform system
will -prevail along the Pacific. That
is what the Metal Trades Council seeks
here.
Government Will Ft Pay.
Agreements submitted to the steel
plants provide for the new scale to be
come effective tomorrow, but no answer
has been received by the council from
the steel builders, other than that the
Government will direct what is to be
paid.
At wooden yards, the unions expect
the agreements to become r effective
September 1. Heads of some plants
say they have not received a copy of
the agreement that has been sent to
the steej yards, though it is said they
are alike, and a few, at least, of those
holding both private and Federal con
tracts expect to. meet with the men In
advance of September 1.
Closed Chop la Eirected.
Organized labor" bodies' concerned In
the shipyards -have representatives at
Washington, .and the expectation Is
they will have direct information from
the shipping board as to Its attitude
on wage schedules In a day or two.
The main features of the agreements
submitted here are increased wages In
line with' the Puget Sound and San
Francisco yards, and closed shop regu
lations. Captain PIllsbury"s visit here will be
the first since he was named by the
shipping board to attend to building
details on this Coast. Captain Blaine
has been on the river a number of
times. Both are well-known to the
shipping men, and are acquainted with
river conditions.
ERXEST H. MEYER INSPECTED
Vessel on First Voyage Here Is
Looked Over by Company Officials.
Formal Inspection of the new steam
er Ernest H. "Meyer, of the Broughton
& "Wiggins Navigation Company, was
made yesterday at Oak-street dock by
Mr. Wiggins and Mr. Meyer, the vessel
being named in honor of the latter. She
reached the river at 7 o'clock Sunday
right from the Golden Gate, after be
ing fogbound for a few hours, and left
up at 8:30, so was In thp harbor early
yesterday. She brought cement, dis
charging at Couch and Oak-street
docks. The vessel goes to the Penln
eula mill this morning and finishes at
St. Helens. The Meyer and Wahkeena,
which were built at Wilson Bros.' yard,
Astoria, both have two hatches for
ward and in that respect differ from
other vessels of the McCormlck type.
While in the river before. It is the first
time the Meyer came to Portland.
The Meyer is an exclusive freight
vessel, and is to continue in the- trade
now undertaken, handling building ma
terial and such cargo to Portland, and

en Gate and Southern California.
MAJOR ALLEN AT PEXIXSCLA
Oriental Shipbuilder to Direct Wood
, en Ship Construction.
Theodore Knudson, superintendent of
the Peninsula Shipbuilding Company
plant from the time it was established
early in 1916, has resigned and plans
.to end his service the last of the month,
being succeeded by Major A. F. Allen,
who came to the Coast recently from
the Far East after considerable experi
ence in shipbuilding at Chinese and
Philippine Island yards. His first serv
ice here was as yard inspector for the
United States Shipping Board.
Work of painting the hull and rig
ging of the auxiliary schooner Esper
ancia, now on the St. Johns drydock,
is being looked afteyby Mr. Knudson,
and he will do similar work on others
there for the present. Four auxiliary
schooners were floated there and the
ways turned over to Government work,
and Mr. Knudson looked after laying
the keels of the merchantmen and prob
ably will have them practically ready
for machinery before leaving. He says
he is not at liberty to make known his
future plans.
VESSELS
MUST
BE
LISTED
Owners Tardy in . Responding; to
Second Government Order.
Vessel owners who' have procras
tinated in the matter of obtaining li
censes for carriers of three tons and
larger, as prescribed by the Govern
ment. and which regulation is being
enforced' by Commander Koontz, of the
Thirteenth Naval Defense District, may
shortly hear forcibly from the Bremer
ton Navy-yard.
A complete check Is being made here.
Harbormaster Speler is co-operating
with the Navy officers In the matter
and his acquaintance with small ves
sels of the three-ton class -makes It
certain that none will escape. Since a
second notice was issued last week by
Commander Koontz more craft have
been licensed, and there are said to be
others not registered. No fees are ex
acted, and the owners escape all ex
pense other than the brief time re
quired to Insert dimensions of the ves
sels on a blank form.
SLOUGH AVILL BE CHANGED
More Direct Rontc to Be Dug to Im
prove Water Terminal Site.
Tn administrating the affairs of its
office the Commission of Public Docks
has found it imperative to adopt many
new departures in the Interest of ef
ficient public service, but that of dig
ging a slough is the lates. step faced,
and that is rated an entirely new de
parture in dock maintenance.
Gatton Slough passes through the
Gatton property at St. Johns, which,
with the Malarky and Ogden tracts.
comprise the public elevator and water
terminal site recently selected. As the
slough's course must be altered where
It crosses the land, so as to find a. more
direct rout to the river. It ha.s been
decided to Gig a new course along- thelnpi llipnif Pll II II HF"! IPnfB
northern boundary line of the prop-I
erty.
The work will be done by dredg-
ing.
DISCARDED SHIPS REAPPEAR
Areata to Become Schooner and Pro
gress to Be Broken Up for Material.
Poor, indeed, is the vessel today that
cannot be made use of. in the general
Pacific trade, and though it was thought
months ago that all idle tonnage had
been cleaned up, Oakland Creek con
tinues to disgorge almost forgotten
hulks to serve some purpose in the
present search for vessels.
The latest to emerge from the marine
graveyard are the steamers Areata and
Progresso, the former to become a
four-masted schooner and the latter to
be broken up so the steel may be util
ized for shipbuilding purposes. The
Areata was drydocked at San Fran
cisco last week and the Hanlon line of
ficers learned the bottom was in good
condition, though she was built In 187S
at San Francisco.

MERCHANTS EDUCATE CUSTOMER
TO WAR SCHEDULE.
Plan Is to Prevent Return of Goods
and to Encourage Shopping;
Early In Day.
Inauguration of the universal one-delivery-a-day
system among the retail
merchants of Portland has been post
poned until next Monday, August 20, so
that all affected interests will have
time to adjust their business accord
ingly.
It was originally Intended to start the
system yesterday, but many stores
were not ready for the change.
A mass meeting to consider the plan
further will be held in the green room
of the Chamber of Commerce at 8
o'clock tomorrow evening.
The movement is the product of the
National Council of Defense and has
the official sanction of President Wil
son and of Herbert Hoover, national
food administrator.
In addition to the one-delivery prin
ciple it embraces the following re
forms: Not to accept or offer goods for re
turn after 48 hours, and binding both
purchaser and seller.
An appeal to women .- shoppers to
carry small parcels home with them.
Not to purchase merchandise until
reasonably sure it can be kept.
Avoiding C. O. D. purchases when
ever possible.
Bringing back, 'personally, return
able goods for credit-
Shopping early in the day to dis
tribute business more evenly.
The rjlan was submitted to Henry L.
Corbett, president of the State Council
of Defense, from the National Council
in the following letter:
Sir: In the ' present emergency It is ab-
olntelv- necemarv that the country s re
sources be used to full advantage to aid in
rarrvlnp on thft war. 'This reaulres that ail
unnecessary services shall be eliminated in
retail trade as well as In other lines or
business. The Commercial Economy Board
has made a careful ' Investigation of the
economies that are possible in the delivery
of retail stores. This shows that a large
number of men and vehicles can be re
leased for military or other service that is
essential to the welfare of the country.
The Board points out, therefore, that de
livery service in retail stores can be very
substantially reduced- Immediately by re
stricting the free delivery of small purchases.
by eliminating special deliveries, ana Dy
other means. Not more than one delivery
a day should bo made on each route.
The Board urges, furthermore, that the
acceptance of returned goods be reduced to
an absolute minimum and that all non
essential operations in each store be elimi
nated.
There is such urgent need for men and
equipment in other work that the country
cannot endure the waste that Is occasioned
by the abuse of the return goods privilege
and accommodation deliveries or small pur
chases. Wfl. trust that we may have the co-oper
ation of your association in making these
corrections Immediately effective. These
changes should be Introduced as early aa
practicable, certainly not later than August
1, 1917. The Board will use every resource
at its command. Including the co-operation
of the State Council of Defense, to assist in
making these changes effective. Yours very
truly,

West in Hebrew characterization
is simply great. This musical ex
travaganza is free to Oaks patrons
each afternoon and evening of this
week. The several musical selec
tions immediately preceding the
show, by the Metropolitan Or
chestra, conducted by George Mc
Elroy, are a treat, indeed.
Bring your lunch and spend the
day at the Oaks you will find
everything delightful for the en
tertainment and comfort of every
member of the family.
