SHIPYARD STRIKE IS
UP TO GOVERNMENT
If No Settlement Is Reached
Plants Will Attempt to
. ' . Resume on Monday.
FEDERAL OFFICIALS SILENT
Boggcstion Made That Ruling on
Union Policy Will Be to Have
Same Conditions as Obtained
Before War Continued.
That settlement of" the shipyard
trike is up to the Government is the
presumption of men and employers and
both are aa?tlng information from
Washington, where the issue of closed
or open shop is before the United
States Shipping Board.
Unless a settlement is reached be
fore, the shipyards are to resume Mon
day with such men as can be assem
bled, according to statements of build
ers yesterday, who say they are hold
ing off until then through an under
standing with G. Y. Harry, Federal
mediator, who has placed the full sit
uation before the authorities at Wash
ington and is hopeful of early action.
Builders take the stand that if the
Government would pursue the same
policy regarding its new ship con
tracts as is followed at Navy-yards,
vhere open-shop conditions prevail,
there- would be no further question.
"We want, to get along with the
men and want them to get along with
us. but we certainly cannot work un
der the closed-shop system, else how
are we to obtain all men required to
posh these vessels along?" queried one
builder yesterday. "We figure that
there are about one-third enough ship
carpenters available now, and we must
make the others from house carpen
ters, bridge workers and the like, but
how can we initiate comparatively
green men. into the business if ham
pered by closed-shop policies?"
It is regarded as probable Wash
ington will hold that yards on the
closed-shop list before the war should
remain so and open-shop plants to
be governed similarly. As to the mat
ter of wages, builders say there is no
obstacle there, the delay being due
solely to lack of expression from the
Shipping Board on. open or closed shop.
"I expect that whatever action, is
taken at Washington will have a di
rect bearing here." said Mr. Harry
yesterday, but added that he has re
ceived no telegrams throwing 'any
light on the probable attitude of the
officials there.
On the general situation along the
river there was little change, though
ft report reached Government officials
from Astoria that Hindus there re
fused to return to work at the Ham
mond mill on the plea that they had
been intimidated. Investigation of the
case caused officials to question this.
At the foast -Shipbuilding fompany.
In South Portland, and the Columbia
Engineering Works. at Llnnton,
where the main forces were undis
turbed by the strike, work is being
conducted as usual and without in
terference or shortage of men.
STRIKERS APrum RESTLESS
Break in Ranks at Astoria Regard
ed as Probable.
ASTORIA. Or.. Sept. 20 (Special.)
There was practically no change In the
strike locally today, so far as the ship
yards are concerned. The machinists
and laborers are working at the plants,
but thus far none of the striking nln
carpenters have resumed work. Some
of the latter, however, appear to be
becoming restless at being idle, and
those in a position to know predict a
reik in the ranks unless the strike is
amicably adjusted within a few days.
Picketing has been suspended and
the only persons about the entrances to
the jards and mills are the soldiers,
who are on guard.
The Rodgers yard has eight house
carpenters and about 15 general work
ers employed. At the Wilson shipyards
five carpenters are at work, while the
JlrEarhfrn yard has the same crew of
machinists and general employes at
work, but no ship carpenters.
The situation at the Hammond mill
was considerably improved today and
In the neighborhood of DO more of the
yard crew reported for duty. This is
the only local mill that has been in
terfered with. The efforts to form a
union among the millworkers is in
progress, but Is said to be meeting with
poor success.
10-HOrK LIMBER OBJECTED TO
Gotrmmrnt rirct-tion of All Timber
Tliouslit Ultimate Result.
SEATTLK. Pent. 10. Jay O. Brown,
president of the International Shingle
Weavers' Union and chairman of the
general lumber strike committee, which
is managing the Seattle shipyard
ertike. said today:
"A number of shipbuilders, after vis
iting our headquarters lust night, said
they would put it squarely up to the
Government whether they should sign
an agreement with the wooden ship
building employes to use only eight
hour lumber. A representative of one
of the four largest steel yards told us
lat nipht that his plant would be
obliged to close next Saturday night
for lack of lumber and that he knew
two others were no better off. The

fourth is supplied with eight-hour lum
ber. "We are not urging the Government
to commandeer sawmills to provide
eight-hour lumber, hut that course
reems the most available to settle the
shipyard difficult jr."
The Seattle Central Labor Council
today made public a letter received by
the council from Representative Albert
Johnson, in reply to a request that he
advocate commandeering of lumber
mills by the Government:
"If the Government finds it is in
need of timber durlnt? the war, these
mills undoubtedly wi 11 be comman
deered. But as a great 'percentage of
the timber used by the Government
comes from the South, that step is not
an immediate possibility.
"I am firmly of the opinion that
soener or later all the standing timber
in the Western states will be taken
over by- the Government and placed in
reserves. I have long been of the
opinion that this business could not ex
ist half Government owned and half
privately owned.

RUTH ROLAXD APPEARS IX FILM
PLAY THAT ETERTAIS.
-A Vaudeville Flirtation" Is Excel lent
Act and Much Pan Is Offered
by A Clean Knockout.9
Unique interest attaches to the ap
pearance of Ruth Roland as the hero
ine in a dramatic and intensely thrill
ing film story shown on the new pro
gramme at the Hippodrome.
The play is "The Stolon Play," and
Miss Roland is seen to excellent ad-r
vantage as a lovely ama'nuensfs to a
blind author. It is through her in
strumentality that the author's play is
saved from thieving play brokers, and
the story abounds in big human inter
est throughout with a particularly
happy ending.
The vaudeville part of the bill spar
kles with bright new offerings. Promi
nent among these are Blanche Alfred
and her bevy of symphony girls, all
beauties and talented in music and
dance. The stage setting is a gorgeous
one. and the cirls dance and sing and
make exquisite music on 'cellos, violins,
piano and by whistlinir.
At a parting of the velvet curtains
"The Rainbow Girl" appears to add to
the entertainment with a fascinating
dance. Madame Alfred has a beautiful
soprano voice of great range.
"A Vaudeville Flirtation" is a capital
little act offered by the clever George
Kbner and an attractive maid named
Judith Reuch. who wears smart frocks.
This clever pair carries on a flirtation
by the song and smile and stepping
route that pleases much.
A comedy sketch Is presented by
Marie Dufour, who is a brilliant come
dienne. With her little company she
offers "A Clean Knockout.' which tells
of the Irish mother's opposition to her
son's enlistment and of her pride in
his powers as a pugilist. The sketch
abounds in laughter. Frank Phelps as
the son and Charles Treadwell appear
to fine advantage in .Miss Eu four's
support.
The two Pearsons are a pair of de
lightfully happy, snappy chaps, who
dance and divert exceedingly.
Bobby Stewart and iertrude Earl
are a pair who offer one of -the gay.
bright spots on the bill. Miss Karl is
pretty and dresses gorgeously, and
with Mr. Stewart she dances, sings and
chatters cheerily.
Openlna: the bill is a smart little
turn presented by Mae Iu Bo is, in
which a lot of well-trained dogs and
monkeys are put through their paces
la an amazing manner.
