DUE IN PORTLAND SOON TO INVESTIGATE .SHIPBUILDING STRIKE SITUATION. Union Men to Discuss Issues at Auditorium Meet L ing Tonight. Light Four r T4 r 1 lilt , ' r EMPLOYERS ARE INVITED Shipbuilders Say Working; Forces Arc Being: Augmented Daily. Federal Labor Adjustment V Board Expected Soon. A mass meeting of all unions affil iated with the shipbuilding industry organizations will bp held at the Pub lic Auditorium tonight at 7 o'clock, according to official announcement made yesterday afternoon by C. J. Vanderpool, of the Metal Trades Coun cil's press committee. To this meeting, Mr. Vanderpool said, the committee of the employers, which recently met with a committee repre senting the strikers, is invited, as the union leaders wish the employers to tell the strikers their view of the situa tion. It was said by the members of the employers' committee, however, that they will not attend the meeting:, as they do not regard it within their prov ince to go before a muss meeting of union men and tell them what to do. That, they point out. is the duty of the leaders of the unions and the rank and file must decide .what action, if any, they wish to take when the case is laid before them. When the two conference commit tees were in session with G. Y. Harry.' Federal mediator, last week the ques tion of a mass meeting was brought up and the employers' committee recom mended that one be held, at which the union leaders should lay the facts be fore the men, afterwards permitting a secret ballot, "so that every man may record his honest convictions." This proposal was countered by the strik ers' committee, the members of which said they would call such meeting if the employers would agree to be pres ent. To this the employers agreed providing the members of the union committee would tell the strikers at the meeting what they had said in con ference that the strike was unjusti fied; that they counseled against it. and that the men could gain nothing thereby. The men replied that "it would make them look like a bunch of pik ers" and refused to do it. In announcing the mass meeting for tonight Mr. Vanderpool said that re ports of the entire strike situation, de veloping since the session at which the walkout was ordered, will be submitted. This includes reports of the executive committee sent to the authorities at "Washington, I. C, a review of the con ferences between the employers and employes' representatives and all de tails growing out of the strike order, which has tied up the shipbuilding in dusty in Portland and vicinity for more than three weeks. "It is necessary," said Mr. Vander pool, "that we have a thoroughly rep resentative meeting tonight and 1 wish to urge upon all of the men affiliated with the unions on strike to be there at 7 o'clock. "There will be a great mass of de tail to pesent, much of which is of the utmost importance to their interests. The Auditorium will accommodate all who wish to attend, and I hope every man on strike will try and get there, even if he cannot remain through the whole session." According to statements of various employers yesterday, a considerable number of their former employes, com bined with new men. took up work at the plants here. The "open-shop" policy has been adopted by all of the ship building plants. The Federal Labor Adjustment Board is expected to reach the city very soon to investigate the situation. ASTORIA STRIKE O SETTLED Men Attend Trial of Shipyard Superintendent. ASTORIA, Or.. Oct. 10. (Special.) The question of whether the Astoria shipyard strike will be settled soon was not decided today, as no meeting of the ship carpenters was held.

A.1Y. r i fie- x&kari j " ' f L Draft Army Moved to Ameri can Lake Without Mishap. SLEEPERS ARE PROVIDED Regular Passenger and Freight Schedules Maintained While 1 S, . -10 0 Xnv Soldiers Are Trans ported to Camp Lewis. Completion of the movement of the third draft contingent at Camp Lewis, American Lake, safely and on sched ule, is a matter of congratulation to the AVestern department, special com mittee on National defense of the American Raiiway Association. The task of transporting a large number of men long distances on railways with out the interruption of regular train service, and without delays or acci dents to the large number of troop trains speaks well for the care with which the railways conducted the movement. L. C. Oilman, president of the Spo kane. Portland & Seattle Railway, a member of the committee on National defense, discussed the movement of drafted men yesterday as follows: "The last of the third draft con tingent arrived safely at American Lake last night. The movement just completed represented IS, 400 men. or 40 per cent of the 46.000 to be transported. Sleeping; Cars Provided. "By train schedule adjustment!! all the troop specials arrived practically on time. Sleeping cars were provided for everyone for at least part of the trip, so there were no discomforts for lack of berths. The draft boys were uniformly well behaved, and there was no damage to equipment. "There have been no train accidents on any of the movements. There, was no interruption of regular passenger and freight service. "By means of prearranged schedules and other arrangements, the American Railway Association representative at Camp Lewis, L. F Newton, was able to act as an intermediary between the civilian organization attending to the drafting and movement of the liberty boys and the military authorities who received them. The movement was strictly civilian, the Army assuming control only when the men arrived. The plan worked so well that the boys were checked in and registered as carefully as at any hotel and as signed to quarters and detachments, all within an hour of detraining. Major Sullivan .et Credit. "Major Kalph Sullivan, who. prior to receiving his commission, was em ployed by the Southern Pacific in charge of its military bureau, is credited with having worked out all the details of train schedules. "The 46.000 men of the western de partment moved as follows: l-'ive'per cent, 2300 men, on regular trains, be ginning September 5. Forty per cent, l.400 men, on special trains, beginning September 10. Another 40 per cent, 18.400 men, on special trains begin ning October Fifteen per cent, 6900 men, are yet to move. "The 40 per cent movements required the use of 697 sleepers and 106 trains. The new railroad terminal at Camp Lewis has been given . its first real test with the arrival of these trains. There were no delays and no- con fusion has occurred, so well were the needs forecasted." E NOT T MRS. ..iXUREWS ASKS PROPERTV D1YISIOX AXD Sl FrORT. Wife Denies Husband's Charge That He Has Bern Persecuted or That Son's Home Has Been Divided. Mrs. " Margaret E. Andrews. who caused the arrest of her husband. K. G. Andrews, at Council, Idaho. last week, yesterday denied the charges made by her husband that she and his former partner, .Frank Gibbie, had persecuted him. "1 am not trying to persecute Mr. Andrews," Mrs. Andrews said yester dny. "We have been married for 2S years and I feel that I am due his sup port, which he has denied me. I have had nothing to do with his losing nu merous positions of which he speaks, but it has been due to his own tactics. "1 have not sued for a divorce as slated by Mr. Andrews, but I am ask ing for separate maintainance. He also says that 1 have caused his life to be miserable and that I have broken up our home.- This is also untrue and i due to his action. The charge made by him that I have caused, a wparation between our ton and his wile ia a IN PHASED ;:... : fit- VV t - i 1? i i S i a, falsehood. They are living happily to gether in Rochester. N. V." Mr. Andrews returned to Portland of his own volition when he learned that Mrs. Andrews had preferred a criminal charge against him. Me is now at lib erty on his own recognizance pending action of the grand jury. Instead of asking for a divorce from Mr. Andrews, Mrs. Andrews, in a suit filed the first of the week in the County Clerk's office, asks for a divi sion of their personal property, the recovery of some personal effects and a monthly allowance for her support. She seeks to be decreed the owner of one-half of the bunds alleged to be owned by Andrews of the estimated value of $10,000 and asks for the re covery of Oriental rugs valued at $1000 and other personal property of the value of $300, said to be wrongfully withheld from her, or their equivalent in money, and for 550 a month for maintenance.

Mrs. Hedlund was awarded $100 a month alimony and a monthly allow ance of $30 for the support of the son. Mrs. Hedlund told the court that her husband for a number of years had manifested an ungovernable temper, and had treated her with varying de grees of cruelty.
