That "Shy" Hunting-ton. the famous University of Oregon football star, would not return to school this semes ter, but Instead would obtain a posi tion in Portland and play quarterback on the Multnomah Club football squad, was persistently rumored In football circles yesterday. Gossip also mentioned the name of the firm with which Huntington would identify himself should he decide to come to Portland. It was Impossible to get in touch with any of the mem bers of the firm mentioned last night, but a Ions-distance call to The Dalles, where Huntington resides, brought forth a denial of the rumor.

I am working here for the Stadelmann Ice Company and have not yet decided whether or not I will return to Oregon this year. I will riot make up my mind until the latter part of the week." If Huntington decides to remain In The Dalles it will put Coach Hugo Bezdek's plans in a serious predica ment.

HUNTERS GET 3 DEER PARTS' OF" POHTLASD SPORTSXE.V RETl'RN FROM TRIP. Rains of Last Few Days It Za Declared Will Help Aim rods to Baar Learal Limit. With three big deer and as many fish as they could conveniently carry, a party of local sportsmen comprising: T. L. Honeyman, Charles Hindman, J. T. Honeyman and K. ft. Eldredge returned yesterday from a 10-day trip on the south fork of the McKenzie River. The party enjoyed a very pleasant outing, and their only regret was that the brush in that part of the country was still dry and not good for deer shooting. The rains of the last few days will enable hunters now in that section to bag the limit. "We saw plenty of deer," said Tom Honeyman, "but they heard us com ing. Those hunters who are now in the mountains will find plenty of ex citement od account of the rain which fell yesterday and today. 'We had a wonderful time and the party is well satisfied with the trip." TICKET SALE IS LARGE TOTAL OP 75.0OO ASK FOR SEATS FOR GAMES IX CHICAGO.

This decision was made fol lowing communication between Presi dent 'Comiskey and Manager Rowland, of the Chicago Americans. "Weaver will be in the lineup," de clared President Comiskey today. "His injured finger is not bothering him and we need his spirit of fight. After what McMullin showed at third base during Weaver's illness there was no chance to supplant him." President Comiskey also asserted that he is not worrying about a. ru mored threat by the New York Na tionals to rule out Pitcher Eddie Ci cotte, of the Chicago Americans be cause of his "shine ball." He said that official action by the baseball commis sion is impossible "for the simple rea son that the commission has no proof that the 'shine ball" exists." Braves Challenge Red Sox.

Contlnued Trom "First Fag-e.V which the employers are looking to In vestigate the local situation. Is headed by Secretary of Labor Wilson, and is expected, according to dispatches, to be preparing to start for the Coast early next week. Leader's Plea Ignored. While Alfredo J. Berres, American Federation of Labor representative on the adjustment ' board, telegraphed Portland labor leaders, urging them to return to work pending an investi gation and rearrangement of the wage scale, etc., they have not. so far as is known, made any move to comply with his request. James MeKinley, general manager of the Columbia River Shipbuilding Corpo ration, yesterday received a telegram from Captain John F. Blain, of Seattle, urging that the Portland plants be opened and work resumed, pending the adjustment of differences. Captain Blain is the Northwest representative of the Shipping Board. In response to the telegram. Manager McKlnley announced that the plant would resume operations Thursday morning. The original of Captain Blain's telegram was posted at the yards and with it a statement of in tention to open for work. It was ex plained that any of the men who are out on strike may come back if they wish; wages and conditions of employ ment to be the same as before, pending adjustment by the authorities at Wash ington, with no rights lost. Flant Employs 1591. At the time of the strike. Mr. Me Kinley said, he had 1591 men on the payroll. Captain Blain's telegram follows: The Kmergency Fleet Corporation, which Is In charge of the building programme to produce ocean tonnage so necessary to the country at this time, has been advised of a cesatlon of work at your plant and the corporation dealres that every effort be made both by employers and employes to dis cuss proposition for wage increase and other conditions and to continue at work pending settlement of dif teifnua. At this critical time, when the building of ships is vital to the success of the Nation In war. both em ployers and employes should fully realize their mutual responsibilities and should make every effort to compose their differ ences on a reasonable and equitable baala therefore, the corporation expects work to continue at your yard. ti. Y. Harry, Federal mediator of the Department of Labor, yesterday re ceived from Washington a telegram. saying that Oswald West, ex-Governor ot Oregon, had. in a recent letter to United States Senator Chamberlain, of fered his services, if at any time he might be of use in bringing about an adjustment. Mr. Harry was instructed to notify the department if Mr. West could be of assistance and, if so, to assure him he would be appointed to serve. Mr. Harry's Efforts Continue. Mr. Harry, being anxious to have any useful assistance, at once got into touch with Mr. West and asked him to serve, but Mr. West is leaving for an Eastern trip this morning, and therefore was obliged to decline. In spite of various discouraging fea tures, Mr. Harry is continuing his ef forts toward bringing about resump tion of work by the strikers and to that end is endeavoring to get a meet ing of the members of the Columbia Itiver Shipbuilding Association here in an effort to see if they will name a committee to meet with the union rep- ! resentatives. llo Is hopeful of results. but was unable to report any progress yesterday. Harold Edwards, living on East Fifty-third street, who is employed at the Northwest Steel Company, was set upon by several young fellows and badly beaten as he was leaving his work yesterday. He appealed to Police Sergeant Carlson for protection and the officer escorted him to a streetcar. Incendiary Threat Reported. I The Kiernan & Kern Shipbuilding Company officials yesterday reported to police headquarters that strikers were using threatening language about the plant Monday night. Mr. Kern re ported that he heard one striker threa ten to burn the plant. These were the only acts of violence or threatened violence reported to the police ystrday and Chief of Police Johnson wa3 still confident last night that there would be no serious trouble. The attack on Harold Edwards, he said, had taken place some distance from the shipbuilding plant and he was doubtful whether or not the young man was sot upon by strikers. All local and state governmental agencies pledged their support in pre venting violence or picketing at the ship plants at a conference held in Mayor Baker's office in the morning. Tie meeting was attended by Gover nor Withycombe. Mayor Baker, Sheriff Hurlburt, District Attorney Evans. City Attorney LaRoche, Adjutant-General White and Chief of Police Johnson. Troops May Be Called In. After the session Mayor Baker made the following public statement: "The various officials In conference today have pledged their united support in law enforcement. It was agreed that law and order will be maintained and that the anti-picketlng ordinance will be enforced in whatever form it may arire." While the Mayor or the others re fused to disclose just what forces are available to enforce the anti-picketlng measure, it is understood that the po lice. Sheriff and Constable forces are available and that Federal troops can be placed in the field quickly if occa sion demands. Mayor Baker yesterday received the following telegram In response to a message sent to Senator Chamberlain asking him to take up strike negotia tions personally: "Upon receipt of your telegrum this morning I conferred with the Secretary of Labor and the direc tor of mediation, as it was not possible to reach President Wilson at this Jurcture. Am assured the Department of Labor, Shipping Board and other Gov ernment agencies are co-operating to eflect an early settlement of the Port land strike situation. Will keep in toi:ch with officials here and telegraph developments. Am glad to assist in any way possible." STJADU'ER Y.IRO HAS QUOTA Most of Old Men Return and Many From Elsewhere Apply. ' VANCOUVER, Wash., Sept. 25. (Spe cial.) o fax as the G, iL Standifer Construction Corporation is concerned, the recent strike is history. .The plant opened today and the company had all of the men it could employ. Most of the men have gone back to work, though there are a number from other shipyards who have come here and gone to work. There are a few" car penters yet out, but their places have been filled. The plant was buzzing today with activity. Three more keels are to be laid this week, when more men will be given employment. The men were not striking for more wages or shorter hours the only ques tion was whether the plant should be a closed or open shop. SKXDIXG OF TROOPS INDORSED Astoria Labor Unions Send Congrat ulations to Governor. ASTORIA. Or.. Sept. 25. (Special.) organized labor in Astoria heartily in dorsed the action of the Governor in sending troops here to protect the mills and shipyards. The leaders say that the presence of armed guards to pre vent acts of violence by irresponsible persons or radicals, should any occur, will assist in fixing the blame where it belongs. W. E. Seal and C. L. Utter, a committee representing the allied unions, today sent a telegram to Gov ernor Withycombe expressing the senti ments of organized labor. , The telegram said: "At a called mass meeting of all labor unions in the ;city of Astoria, Clatsop County, Oregon, it was the voice of those present that congratulations be sent to you on the noble stand you have taken by sending troops to Astoria to protect the. in terests of organized labor. Again thanking you for your interest in labor difficulties in Astoria, we beg; to re main fraternally yours." There jvas practically no change to day in the strike situation at the ship yards, but the conditions at the mills are steadily improving with a few more men reporting for duty each succeeding day. A small number of the house carpen ters who staged a sympathetic strike yesterday resumed work today and rumor says that others will be work ing tomorrow. Astoria Chamber Would Mediate. ' ASTORIA. Or.. Sept. 25. (Special.) The Chamber of Commerce tonight voted to offer its services as a media tor to settle differences between the shipyards and striking ship workers. SEATTLE STRIKE IS SET fContlnued From First Page.) not be affected. Three wooden ship yards and half a dozen or more con tract shops also have signed the new wage agreement. The receipt yesterday of telegrams from President Wilson and Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, urging that no precipitate action be taken, gave some hope that a walkout might be averted, but this vanished this morning when press dispatches announced that the President was planning to have the Seattle wage controversy considered and settled by the wage adjustment committee of the United States Ship ping Board in connection with similar controversies In other Pacific Coast cities. Position la Explained. These dispatches precipitated the calling of the general eirlke. The Coun cil's board of businecs agents took the position that the Government had hopelessly misunderstood the Seattle situation in attempting to link it with the situations in San Francisco and Portland, and that further attempts to postpone the walkout were urelesr. Though about the same demands have been made in all three cities, the metal tradesmen explained, the Seattle case differed from that in San Francisco, in that the workers had not gone on strike, but had continued at work pend ing negotiations with their employers under an agreement that the wage in creases granted should be retroactive to August 1. Some Acceptances1 Complication. The situation was further compli cated by the fact that the Skinner & Eddy Corporation, one " of the largest of the steel shipbuilding companies, had granted the wage Increase at the start of the negotiations, while other smaller wooden shipbuilding companies and a number of contract shops had followed its example. a In view of these facts the rank and file of the Seattle workers took the position that the sole issue was whether the employers who had not conceded the increases intended to do so with out a strike. VANCOUVER, B. C. Sept 25. The British Columbia Metal Trades Associa tion met here last night with repre sentatives present from Vancouver, Victoria and New Westminster. The labor situation was discussed and it was stated that the settlement at San Francisco by the United States Govern ment probably would have an effect upon the situation along the Pacific Coast. STRIKE MAY BE AVOIDED YET Adjustment Board Says Early Ac tion Will Be Taken on Scale. WASHINGTON. Sept. 25. Convinced that the strike of Seattle workers has been called under a misapprehension. the shipbuilding labor adjustment board believes that an understanding can be reached before Saturday, the day set for the walkout. The union officials' will be advised tomorrow that it has been and is the intention of the board to take up the Seattle situation immediately and settle it upon is merits under the agreement that the new wage scale shall date back to Au gust 1. Louis B. Weble. counsel for the ad justment board, said tonight the board fully realized the difference between the cases of Seattle, Portland and San Francisco and that there had been no thought of confusing the issues. He explained that the board's work had been delayed while the shipping board and plant owners discussed what part of any wage increases to men. working on commandeered ships should be paid by the Government, but that now, at the President's direction, it was ready to resume the task and hoped for prompt and favorable results. The Seattle situation is the only one in which all union men are concerned. The wage scale contracts there expired August 1 and but for the intervention of the Government there would have been a strike August 14. Now the ship ping board and the Government have agreed to pay half of any increase granted men working on commandeered ships and the adjustment board be lieves an agreement acceptable to all parties can be arranged if a little time is given for negotiation. Rct. Henry Greene Visits Here. Rev. Henry T. Greene, pastor of the First Methodist Church of Goldendale. Wash., accompanied by Mrs. Greene and their son Bob. arrived in Portland yesterday for a fortnight's visit with relatives here.

PATRIOTIC WEEK IS TO RAISE $10,000 Emergency Fund for Third Oregon Planned by Mayor Baker and Others. WAR PICTURES PROMISED Schoolchildren Will Sell Tickets for Great Show at Auditorium Sen ator Chamberlain Promises to Select Government Films. October 23 to 29 Is to be Patriotic week in Oregon, with the object of luismg aiu.uuu to De placed at the dis posal of -the Third Oregon as an emer gency fund. Further plans for the handling of the campaign, the definite settlement of the date and other details in connection were discussed at & meeting at the Courthouse yesterday, attended by L. R. Alderman, Walter H. Evans, Tom Word, Hopkin Jenkins, Sol Baum. Will iam F. Greer and Mayor Baker. It was first planned to have the week early in October, but rather than tako a chance on not getting every one properl,- worked up to the cause, the latter day was set. Official War Ptctarea Promised. . The campaign for the fund will be extended all over Oregon. Portland will have at the Auditorium United States official war pictures. Senator Chamberlain will select pictures to be shown here for the benefit of the Ore gon boys. Various civic organizations will pro vide the "spielers" and advance men for the show, and the school children will see that everyone has a chance to ' buy a ticket for the benefit. "Emergency" la Related. L. R. Alderman, Superintendent of Schools, wanted to be sure of the cause and asked Mayor Baker, just what was meant by the "emergency fund." "Well, let's think of an example of what might be called an 'emergency,' " mused the Mayor. "Let me tell you of Just one little incident. "A week ago or so the only son of a Portland mother who, in giving her son, had given her all in all received word that the boy had died. "It took about $40 to send her to the boy and to bring them back to Port land. There were no funds to bury the boy. A few of us personally saw to it that that mother's eon was taken care of." High School Win Make It Go. "I see. If it's to be things like that, why I am sure the high school people will be glad to get behind this thing, and any time they do take up a thing they usually make it go," remarked Mr. Alderman. Mr. Greer related a story told by Colonel May of a case where a little money, which enabled him to buy milk for a man for several months, saved that man's life. He is now a prosper ous rancher in Eastern Oregon. Mr. Greer also said when the boys got to France there would be many occasions where a little money might save the life of a soldier. Everyone agreed that a worthier cause could hardly be found for war time benefits. Mayor Baker said he had under consideration an offer of films of the American Lake canton ment for the benefit to be sllown with Uncle Sam's pictures. Ticket Sale Begins Soon. The ticket sale will begin just as soon as the arrangements for printing and distributing can be made. The Jef ferson High School press will make the tickets, of which there will be about 100,000. Adults will pay 25 cents and children 10 cents. The pictures will be entirely differ ent from what the theaters are show ing, or the war pictures that have been released through the film companies. They will come from the Government's own supply, which have so far been withheld from the commercial ex hibitors. So the production will be doubly interesting. Mayor Baker will make his commit tee appointments for the campaign in a day or two. WORK FOR WOMEN WANTED Mrs. Lola G. Baldwin Makes Tn. quiries From Portland Employers. ' "You employers who have lost men who have answered the call to colors, is it possible for a woman to handle some job that the man has left behind? Isn't there a chance that a woman might don overalls and fill the miss ing man's shoes? Would you pay her a mans wage? would she be prop erly safeguarded at her work?" These and other questions are now being asked by Mrs. Lola G. Baldwin, superintendent or the women s Pro tective Bureau, who is making a sur vey of Portland's industrial life in an effort to gain certain and comprehen sive information as to the channels open to women in tabor's mart.

It was no more than expected that enthusiasm would find voice in shouted greetings. As the train rushed through the Oregon towns or stopped at a sta tion there was a large crowd out to speed the "boys" on their journey. At that, there never was a time when the greetings exchanged were not soldier ly tempered. Even when train after train of select service men being rushed to American Lake were passed, the loud noise came from the lads that had yet to learn what discipline is. Ashland was the first and last Ore gon stop this morning. At Ashland, like other points along the Southern Pacific, people sat up all night waiting for the train. It seemed as though the rain of prepared lunch boxes would never cease. Lunch. Boxes Ponr On. Colonel May, quite willing to give the soldiers almost free rein while they were passing through Oregon, was ready to put on the lid today. While the train crews were being changed at Ashland. Colonel May issued an o. der for all hands to get 10 minutes' setting up exercises and 10 minutes of march drill.

Train Discipline Prevails. In train discipline Colonel May is proving that he knows as much about railroading: as he does about the sol diers. An armed guard is stationed in each car vestibule. Only the officers and the non-commissioned are allowed to pass from one car to the other while the train is in motion. Nor are the soldiers allowed to visit from car to car. At Dunsmuir there was another lung stop. The regimental band played sev eral bits 'of stirring music, and while this was going on each company com mander had the soldiers of his organi zation doing double time for exercise.
