OF SHIPS
TO GO ON
OF
Western Shipyards Will Later
Receive New Contracts,
Admiral Capp Says.
PROGRAMME: IS DELAYED
Shipping Board Must Be Assured
of Reliability of Builders Be
fore Letting More Contracts
Xor Wooden Craft.
OREGOMAX NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington. Augr. 23. Admiral Capps. gen
eral manager of the Fleet Corpora
tion, today told Senator McNary that
there has been no permanent abandon
ment of the wood ship construction
programme, and assured him positively
that additional contracts would later
bo awarded to responsible yatds which
can make a satisfactory showing, both
as to financial backing and their a,bil-
ny to uuiia snips in contract time.
But for the present all wood ship con
tracts are held up, and will remain sus
pended until the shipping board can
examine into the reliability of each
shipyard that has submitted bids.
Senator McNary called on Admiral
Capps in response to numerous tele
grams from Portland protesting
against the stopping of the wood ship
programme. He told the Admiral that
numerous citizens and companies in
Oregon on assurance of the shipping
board that they would be given ship
contracts had gone ahead in good faith
establishing and equipping shipyards.
Injustice la Protested.
Now that they have their yards un
der way, or ready to build, they are
met with the statement that no con
tracts are to be let. He protested that
this was a rank injustice, and if per
sisted in would entail heavy loss upon
men who made heavy investments on
promises given them by the shipping
board.
Admiral Capps said he realized the
situation, but explained that the ship
ping board is now swamped with bids
and offers to build, and in the accumu
lation are many bids from irrespon
sible parties who cannot fulfill con
tracts. He has, therefore, directed his agents
on both coasts to investigate and re
port on the standing of every yard
which has bids pending, and until
those reports are received and the un
desirable bids are sifted out the wood
ship programme will remain at a stand
still. Yard Must lie Equipped.
Admiral Capps said no contracts
would be awarded hereafter unless the
bidding yard can show proper and
ample equipment; has sufficient cash
at its command to buy all necessary
material and pay all requisite labor,
and be able also to show that its re
lations with labor are such that it will
be assured of sufficient men to build
a ship in contract time. Yards that
are not in harmony with local labor
interests, and therefore unable to get
enough laborers to complete a ship
in time, will get no contracts.
Senator McNary said Admiral Capps
did not designate any date when the
letting of wood ship contracts will be
resumed, but he feels confident that in
the not distant future new contracts
will be awarded to those Oregon j-ards
which can make a showing: satisfactory
to the shipping board.
Puget Sound shipbuilders in con
ference with the shipping board today
were told that no more contracts will
be let for wooden hulls, that all future
contracts must be for completed ships.

MOTORBOAT JIEX GET PERMIT
Applications for Licenses to Oper
ate Show Increase.
The announcement In The Oregonian
that motorboat owners woulJ have to
pet their "loyalty license" right away or
run the chance of having a possibly
disagreeable meeting with the officers
of the Navy has brought a host cf them
to the local hydrographlc ofrice, where
registrations are made.
However, there still are a lot of them
who have yet to fill out their papers
and square themselves with the Navy.
The law has been in effect for some
time, and if the boat owner has not
the necessary license posted on board
he will, when met by an officer, be
forced to return to his landing and
tie up until the law is complied with.
The registration applies to all motor
propelled boats over 28 feet in length.

LUMBERMEN WILL
KEEP MILLS CLOSED
Decision in Pacific Northwest
Practically Unanimous,
Secttle Reports.
PRICE SLUMP CAUSE GIVEN
Plan to Continue Shutdown Dur
ing Remainder of 1917 Not Due
to Strike, Say Officials of
Coast Association.
SEATTLE, Wash., Aug. 23. An
nouncement was made by the organized
lumber manufacturers of a continued
and practically unanimous shutdown of
all the Pacific Northwest lumber mills
and logging camps for at least four
months, or until after the beginning of
1918.
Officials of the West Coast Lumber
men's 'Association made the following
statement today:
"The decision to keep the lumber
mills and logging camps closed during
the remainder of 1917 is not tha result
of concerted action, but is a practically
unanimous statement of intention in
the individual reports made to the as
sociation. "Nor has the strike any connection
whatever with this decision. It is pure
ly due to a heavy slump in the market.
Shlngjle Mills Continue.
"The decision does not apply to the
shingle mills, which will continue oper
ation. "J. Harry Covington, Federal Judge
of the District of Columbia, sent here
as President Wilson's personal investi
gator of the lumber situation, is in the
state and was in conference with Gov
ernor Lister yesterday. Thus far he
has not requested a conference with
any of the lumber operators. We shall
be glad to meet him at his request and
aid his work in any way possible."
SPOKANE, Wash.. Aug. 23. (Spe
cial.) Lumber mills of the Inland Em
pire will suspend operations within a
short time if present market and log
ging conditions continue.
The lumber market has suffered such
a severe slump, it is reported, that the
continuance of activities is not profit
able. Some Idaho Plants Closed.
Already a number of large mills In
Northern Idaho have stopped and have
sent no logs through for 60 days. Ac
cording to J. P. McGoldrick, large mill
owner of Spokane, a decided slump in
the lumber market may oon result in
general suspension in Spokane and
nearby camps.
"The action of the Coast lumbermen
was in no way due to the I. XV. XV.
situation," said Mr. McGoldrick. "There
has been such a slump in the market
that operations through the Winter
months is not profitable.
'In Eastern Washington and Idaho.
however, the type of lumber produced
more marketable titan that of the
Coast."
'Logging camps in the Inland Em
pire are practically all shut now," said
J. C. H. Reynolds, of the Inland Em
pire Employers' Association. "They
were not shut by any wish of the own
ers, but by the dry weather, which has
made work in the woods too danger
ous." OREGON MILLS NOT TO CLOSE
Operators In Portland Inclined to
Discount Reports.
West Coast mills in Oregon have no
intention whatever of closing their
plants on account of the market con
dition, labor condition or any other
condition.
Mill operators here are inclined to
discount the reports from Seattle that
any considerable number of plants
there are going to close.
As a matter of fact it Is absolutely
certain that the spruce mills, nearly
ail of which belong to the West Coast
Association, will not close. They have
Just arranged with the Government to
turn out airplane stock at $105 per
thousand feet and are assured of all
the business that they can handle at
that figure for the next year or so.
The big fir manufacturing plants In
Portland and the Columbia and Wil
lamette River valleys are running on
Government orders and many erf them
also have substantial orders for do
mestic stock.
While the domestic business outside
the Government contracts is not brisk.
the market Is satisfactory and no mills
in the Portland territory have any in
tention of closing, they say.
The West Coast mills still have about
10,000 carloads of unfilled orders accu
mulated during last year's car shortage.
Most of this business was taken on at
the old prices before the market took
its jump and it would not be surprising
to see some mills close rather than fill
these orders at old prices while paying
the current scale of wages and sup
plies. Judge J. H. Covington, of the District
of Columbia Supreme Court, who is
making a personal investigation of the
lumber Industry for President Wilson,
arrived in Portland yesterday but was
desirous of taking a rest after his work
in the State of Washington, so did not
go into the situation here. He con
tented himself with a ride out the Co
lumbia River Highway with S. Benson
and J. B. Yeon, and probably will be
gin his investigations today.

of this military district, supporting his
arrest of the 27 men and instructing
him to hold them as military prisoners,
if necessary, in a guardhouse.
A drastic street-speaking ordinance
