OREGOMAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington. Sept. 26. The Labor Adjust
ment Board, to whose hands the Presi
dent Intrusted the task of adjusting
the wage scale In the Pacific Coast
shipyards, . will leave Washington next
Wednesday for the Pacific Coast, and
after an extended conference in the
principal cities, will undertake while
on the road to establish or decree &
wage scale which will be satisfactory
and acceptable to all parties con
cerned. In view of the determination
of the board to go to the Pacific Coast,
no decision on the Coast wage contro
versy will be attempted in advance, of
the trip.
The adjustment board, considering
th crisis that has arisen at Seattle,
will go first to that city, and expects
to begin hearings there Monday. Octo
ber 8. How long the board will re
main In Seattle will depend" on devel
opments. After concluding at Seattle
the board will go direct to F.ortland
and later to San Francisco. The board
consists of V. Everett Macy. chairman,
appointed by the President; Edward
t'arr. appointed by the Shipping Board,
and A. J. Berres, appointed by Presi
dent Gompers, of the American Feder
ation of Labor. W. B. Whel. counsel
' for the board, will accompany them,
and probably a. representative of the
Navy.
Hearing Will Be Open.
Chairman Macy eald this afternoon
that the board will hold Its hearings In
each city visited, these hearings to be
open to the shipbuilders, to the men
employed In the shipyards and to any
others who care to appear to present
uata bearing on the question of wages,
the cost of living and other conditions
which must be considered in fixing a
reasonable and Just wage scale.
The board will invite one representa
tive of labor and one representative of
the shipbuilders to sit with it and 'to
act with it in reaching a decision. If
this invitation is accepted the decision
will be reached in each city by a board
of five instead of the basic- board of
three. In Seattle local men will be
Invited to sit with the board, and at
Portland representatives of Portland
shipbuilders and shipworkers will be
asked to act as the local members of
the board.
It Is hope of the board that it may
be able to gather sufficient data on
which to base a decision, and the desire
is strong among the board members
that they may be able to fix a uniform
wage scale for the entire Pacific Coast.
If the chances for doing this seem
favorable after the board reaches the
Coast, the outcome of its decision may
be withheld until the shipbuilders and

been beard from.
Uniform Scale Desired.
A uniform wage scale, it is pointed
eut, would remove the incentive for
transferring men from one yard to an
other, the very thing that has brought
disruption to the shipbuilding indus
try on the Pacific Coast. . At this time,
while settlement of the wage dispute
Is the prime purpose of the board in
going to the Coast, it is not unlikely
that some action may be taken' with
regard to the hours of work.
Just now this board is gathering of
ficial information bearing on the ques
tion. It is looking up the eight-hour
law and its application to the ship
building industry, and by the time this
board reaches Seattle it will be fully
prepared to discuss this jssue with the
men. So far as the open and closed
hop issue is concerned, the adjustment
board cites the statement of Secretary
of Labor Wilson "that employers and
employes In private industries should
not attempt to take advantage of the
existing abnormal conditions to change
the standards which they were unable
to change under normal conditions."
This is taken to mean that the ad
justment board Is not disposed to or
der a closed shop where the open shop
prevailed prior to the war. The ad
justment board is of the 'opinion that
If the wage question can be settled the
' other points In controversy can be ad
Justed without serious trouble, and it
la to this task that it will direct its
,best efforts. The board is going to the
Pacific Coast in the belief that it
can best work out the wage problem on
the ground, after hearing all the In
terested parties who fare for a hearing
and after investigating conditions. In
a way the findings of the adjustment
board are final. They are final so far
as the Government is concerned, and
In view of the board's peculiar status
probably will be final so far as ship
builders and their men are concerned.

"When one gets to Washington,"
continued Mr. Houser, "one really real

different there than it was last June.

"It has taken quite a while to get

"All is running smoothly in the' Kast

In the near future."
Official Title Is long.
Mr. Houser first went to Chicago,
where he conferred for three days with
vice-presidents of other grain zones.
Though unofficially Mr. Houser is
known as Federal Food Administrator
for the Northwest, his official title is
second vice-president of the Federal
Food Administration's Grain Corpora
tion for the Northwest. The conference
at Chicago was made up of other vice
prenidents and agents from the dif
ferent zones.
He engaged in other conferences in
New York, and then In still further con
ferences in Washington. It was very"
hard work the conferences continued
often until 1 or 1:30 o'clock in the
morning, and were resumed again at 6
the next morning. There was nothing
restful about it.
Mr. Houser is extremely modest about
taking -credit for his part in obtaining
the basic- price of $2.05 a bushel for
wheat at Portland.
"Give Mr.-.Hoover the credit for that,"

STRIKE QUARTERS OPENED
Metal Trades Council Demands
Wage Increase of 33 . Per
Cent 12,000 Men In 3
Yards Affected.
SEATTLE, Wash., Sept. 26. Labor
leaders asserted positively tonight that
there was only one way of averting
the strike of nearly 12,000 metal work
ers in three large steel shipyards In
Seattle next Saturday morning at 10
o'clock, and that was by granting the
new scale, which increases wages 33
per cent.
In preparation for the metal workers
strike, the Metal Trades Council today
opened strike headquarters adjoining
those of the striking shingle weavers
and timber workers. Officers of the
Metal Trades Council said that the
calling of their strike would simplify
the lumber boycott question, inasmuch
as if the new metal trades agreement
is signed by the shipyards and con
tract shops it will automatically settle
the status of 10-hour labor.
The new agreement contains a clause
specifically reserving to the workers
the right to refuse to handle materials
of any kind "unfair" to organized labor.
The metal trades strike committee
had before it at its meeting today the
following telegram sent last night by
tha delegates sent to Washington, D.
V., three weeks ago to -represent the
Metal Trades Council In wage confer
ences with the Shipping Board:
"We are doing everything possible to
effect a settlement on the basis of our
Instructions, and will not consider any
other proposition. Board will meet
again tomorrow. Will wire result." .
The instructions of the Seattle men
were to insist upon the wage demands
as presented last July jnd as conceded
by the big Skinner & Kddy corporation
and several smaller Seattle shipbuild
ing concerns.
AVallace G. Collins, chairman of the
Seattle district exemption board, to
night reiterated the announcement of
the board that all shipyard workers
who have secured exemption on indus
trial grounds will be automatically
certified for military service if they
cease work in obedience to the strike
order.

The Smith A "Watson Iron Works
yesterday posted formal notice of in
tention to resume operations this morn
ing, combining the statement that
"Ample protection will be afforded
workmen who desire to serve their
Government."
DIoldera Ordered Out.
Ten molders '.n the plant of the
Phoenix Iron Works were called out
yesterday morning by four men, who
told B. Morrow, the proprietor, they
were from the Metal Trades Council.
Mr. Morrow says they asked him to
sign an agreement to do no Govern
ment work or to furnish supplies for
any ship work in local yards during
the strike. He refused, and they linme
diately ordered his molders out.
"I had no hesitation," fiaid Mr. Mor
row, "in most emphatically telling the
men, wnose names I did not get, tha

SNAPS SCENES NEAR PLANT OF THE WILLAMETTE IRON & STEEL
. FIRST CLASH WITH STRIKING SHIPBUILDERS.
Who Are la n Patrol Wagon About
cials in the office of the chief yester
day morning. Captain Moore, of the
day relief, commanded a squad of ap
proximately 80 policemen and detec
tives near the vicinity of the Wil
lamette Iron & Steel Works plant at
3 P. M.
Captain Moore at first advanced on
a crowd of strikers, gathered near the
entrance of the shipbuilding plant, and
ordered them to move on. He told
them that the city was determined to
enforce the antl-picketing ordinance to
the letter, and that they would avert
all trouble by leaving the place quietly
and orderly.
The strikers retreated for perhaps
B0 yards and stood about in groups at
the unexpected appearance of the po
lice. They refused to disperse, how
ever, and within a few moments Cap
tain Moore led a squad of patrolmen
into the crowd.
Arrest every man who refuses to
go away from here," he instructed the
officers, and they advanced on the
strikers.
Reluctantly, the men began to move
away, but 12 of them persisted in re
maining near the picket line, and these
were placed under arrest, charged with
violating the ordinance. They were
taken to police headquarters and later
released on $-5 cash bail, each.
Whistle Bringa Activity.
The strikers who did leave the vicin
ity of the plant, moved on for several
hundred yards and once more stood
about in groups, discussing the situa
tion. The 4 o'clock whistle at the ship
building plant was a signal for the
strikers to hurry down to the vicinity
of Sixteenth and Savler streets. The
workmen leaving the plant were es
corted to the streetcars by the police,
while another cordon of bluecoats and
deputy sheriffs formed a line to hold
back any strikers who .might attempt
to interfere with the men leaving the
plant.
Only the large number or unnormea
police and motorcycle officers pre
vented trouble at Sixteenth and Bavier
streets when the streetcars passed the
corner with their loads of non-union
men.
rrlea of "scab." "traitors" and other
epithets were hurled at both the work
men and streetcar operators as the cars
sped by, and several of the strikers at
tempted to board the moving cars,
which were going at a fast rate of
speed.
No Violence iteporrea.
In fact one or two strikers did board
each of the first two cars, wnne
others ' appeared to be attempting to
throw the trolley pole from the wires.
Aside from heated talk, no violence
was reported on the cars on which the
Rtrikers rode with the non-union men.
These first two cars were accompanied
to Washington street by motorcycle
Tiatrolmen. while all other streetcars
loaded with employes from the ship
building plant bore two patrolmen each
until the cars had reached the Dusiness
center. - I
It was at Sixteenth and Savler
streets that one striker, giving the
name of W. I,. Martin, protested loudly
against the "treason" of the streetcar.
workers. .
"We'll make them hold a special
meeting tonight and force them to go
out on strike with us," he shouted after
the cars as they speeded past him. '
He was making other threats of a
similar nature when placod under ar
rest and taken to police headquarters,
where he was released two hours
later.
The men arrested as pickets at the
Willamette Iron & Steel Works plant
gave their names as follows: Frank M.
Smith, Roy McCullum, Alvin Krouse.
Frank Holly, Jack Cunningham, George
Hayes, Eugene Hedrlck, Job Marino,
William . Williams. Ralph Colver, Ar
thur Overland and Fred Sanchez.
ruring -the morning-, Joe Kaufman,
alleged to be a striker picketing about
the Northwest Steel Company plant,
was charged with assault and baUery
in two separate complaints, which were
sworn out by V. R. Tozier and J. A.
Smith, who asserted that Kaufman had
attacked them as they were going to
work. Ed Gussi. O. P. Cass and S. Sam
uels appeared at police headquarters as
witnesses to the alleged attacks.
Near the same plant Patrolman
Spivey arrested Emil Mackey and
James Conway, both alleged plcketcrs
for the strikers. They were the only
two men who refused to move on when
ordered to do so by the patrolman.
There was no other disturbance near
this plant, it was reported.
Shortly alter noon .W. . Wiles was
arrested at Seventeenth and Overton
streets while carrying a banner pro
claiming the construction of the Wells
Fargo building at that point as "un
fair." Both he and the banner were es
corted to police headquarters. ,
A little later Frank Fisher was ar
rested near the Willamette Iron &
bteel Works plant. It is alleged he
was carrying a banner against the
shipyard. He was later released under
$50 cash bail.
Deputy City Attorney Stadter an
nounced following the arrests that a
vigorous prosecution of all the charges
will be conducted by the city. In fact,
the men had scarcely arrived at the
station before City Attorney LaRoche
besran to investigate the arrests prepa
ratory to filing complaints against each
of the alleged pickets. Complaints
probably will bo filed today.
At all the other shipyards the pick
ets dispersed as soon as they were in
formed by the police that the city
would not tolerite picketing. G. H.
Johnson, an . employe of one of the
South Portland shipyards, reported to
Sergeant Carlson that ho had 'been
beaten by a striker. In other plants
no disturbances were reported through
out the day.
Captain Moore predicted late yester
day that practically the same trouble
would be encountered again this after
noon when the men at the Wilamette
Iron & Steel Works go off ehift. An
extra squad of patrolmen will be de
tailed to watch this plant again this
afternoon.
One striker yesterday boasted that he
would have the "whole bunch" on hand
this afternoon and see if the police
would arrest them all.
Twenty-five men, who have been
working at the Wilamette plant and
who have been rooming at the North
Bank Hotel, were picketed by strikers
yesterday morning and all but one were
forced to remain in their rooms and did
not get to work.
CITV
ATTORNEY PREPARED
Test of Anti-Picketlng !Law Not
Feared, as Cnsc Is Ready.
City Attorney LaRoche is prepared
to go Into the courts for a test of the
ant -picket ing law as enacted by the
voters at the last city election.
Following- arrests yesterday under
the new law Mr. LaRoche started to

PAVING COSTS INCREASED
Report for Clackamas County Plant
Made Public.
OREGON CITT. Or.. Sept. 26. (Spe-J
clal.) County Judge Anderson this
afternoon made public the report of
the operations of the county paving
plant, which shows that 3'A miles of
asphalt pavement were laid this year at
an average cost of 91 cents a square
yard. The county laid a total of 32,
421 square yards at a total cost of
J2!. 680.80.
The average cost of the pavement laid
in 1916 was 73.3 cents a square yard,
but the advance in the cost of labor
and material added 17.7 cents a yard to
the cost this year. The cost sheets on
the paving on the river road south
from Island Hill shows an average of
SI. 5 cents a yard.

Iron Trades Accept Temporary
Wage at San Francisco.
STRIKE OVER IN 10 DAYS
Object In Agreeing to Advances in
Wages at This Time Is Said to
Be "Purely Patrlotlo on Botb
Sides" Maximum Pay $6.
' SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 26. Thirty
thousand metal trades mechanics here
will resume work Friday on one-eighth
of the United States Government's en
tire shipbuilding contracts, tied up the
last 10 days by a strike, in compliance
with Orders issued today by the Iron
Trades Council.
Work will be resumed on a tem
porary wage schedule, promulgated in
conference last Sunday, which has been
ratified by a vote of the unions. The
council reserved the right to call an
other walkout if the permanent wage
schedule to be drawn up by the Fed
eral board of conciliation is not satis
factory. The council expects this per
manent agreement to be drawn up
within six weeks. It was announced.
New Wage Scale Proponed.
The employers and the men were
given 30 days by terms of the tem
porary agreement In which to pass
upon the permanent schedule after it
has been decided upon by the board.
The temporary agreement made pub
lic today provides for a substaiatial
general wage Increase, and that eight
hours should constitute a day's work,
with time and a half for overtime, and
double time for all work after 11 P. M.
The agreement provides that wages
up to and including $4.25 a day shall
be Increased 20 per cent; wages from
$4.26 up to and including $5 shall be
increased per cent, and wages
from $5.01 up shall not be increased In
excess of $6.
Move la Patriotic.
It states that "the object In agree
ing to this advance In wages at this
time is purely patriotic on both sides."
Seventeen trades of 25 unions were
represented at the meeting. Thirteen
of these trades voted to return to work,
and four opposed such a move.
According to their constitutions those
opposing settlement of the strike will
be obliged to side with the majority
in the council and return to work. The
council is made up of delegates from
the 25 unions.
Vote Brde I'nanlmoua.
It was announced that the vote to
return to work was later made unani
mous. The men walked out on Monday,
September 17, after the United States
Shipping Board had been appealed to
by the employers to prevent the strike
if possible.
NAVY-YARD MEN ASK MORE
Proposed Increases Up to $1 a Day
Based on High Living Cost.
WASHINGTON. Sept. 26. Machinists
employed by the Government at vir
tually every Navy-yard and arseual
have presented revised demands for a
further increase in wagres over tho 50
cents a day demanded last October.
The proposed new increases run up
to $1 a day.
Representatives of approximately
u.utiu machinists, in session here, are
considering steps to be taken in case
the demands are not granted. The de
mands of last October were met 1 n
part by Increases In pay which, the
machinists assert, averaged approxi
mately 24 cents a day.
Demands for further Increases In
pay are based upon higher living costs
at present than at the time the original
demands were presented. The demands
have been presented to President Wil
son. International officers of the labor
uniqns involved in the strike of more
than 8000 mechanics at the Norfolk
Navy-Yard have advised the heads of
the local unions there to return the
men to work, pending negotiations to
adjust the differences.
