STRIKE-END PLAN HELD UP (Continued From First Pafre. belief in the loyalty of employers and employes and expressed the belief that the situation here will work out satis factorily. The statement is as follows: "The members of the labor adjust ment board have been conscious during their stay in Portland of an increasing willingness to co-operate on the part both of employers and employes. Re lying upon this spirit of co-operation, they have concluded their labors here by recommending a plan of settlement, t'ntil this plan has been presented to the wage-earners chiefly concerned they cannot discuss its details. They can only say that they confidently be lieve that, if accepted, it will not only end the present strike, but lead to t hose better relations between employ ers and employes in the shipyards of the city upon which, to mention only the material aspect, the number of ships produced so vitally depends. l.vyaHy Xot Questioned. "In urging the acceptance of their plan, the Boa rd members cannot de clare with too great emphasis that every day's delay In the construction of the ships now on the ways in Portland yards tends to lessen otir efficiency in the conduct of the war and in that way to aid the enemy. It appreciates the evidences of loyalty and patriotism dis played both by employers and em ployes during i ts hea rings. Tt believes that the failure of this spirit of loyalty and patriotism to result in the uninter rupted operation of the shipyards has been due to no deliberate purpose on either side, but to difficulties in the situation which neither side seemed able to control. "In a time of peace, interrupting in dustry to attempt to settle these diffi culties would be accepted as a matter of course, but in a time of war a dif ferent attitude must be developed. The interests of the Government 'must be recognized as paramount. Just as our boys have disregarded their personal inclinations to respond to the draft law, so employers and employes must sacrifice their personal interests in re sponse to their country's call for their services. . If both sides will approach their differences dominated by this spirit, even the most complicated labor issues will prove susceptible of settle ment. StrlKea Held Inexcusable. "The board has been created to speak the final determining word when ship building employers and employes can not adjust their differences themselves, liefore it came into existence an in terruption of the shipbuilding industry was perhaps justifiable; since it has been cieated and since it has heen de voting itself assiduously to its task there is no longer an adequate excuse for failure on the part of employers and 'employes to co-operate with all possible energy and loyalty in the car rying out of the Government's ship building programme. "After learning to know and to like the representative employers and labor leaders of Portland, the board is re luctant to have the impression gain currency that there is les devotion to the Government here than in other parts of the country. The only way to avoid this is for both sides to determine to forget their differences, to resume th production of ships and to leave to th board the settlement of issues which cannot otherwise be adjusted. "Nothing would please the members of the board better than to proceed at once to an analysis of the facts brought out in the hearings and to a decision in reference to the wage scale in con troversy. But the essential facts as to the situation - in Portland constitute only part of the evidence on which the board must base its decision. Outlook I" Hopefnl. "As a National body it must consider the relation between Portland and the, other great shipbuilding centers, Se attle and San Francisco. Really, satis factory relations between employers and employes cannot be re-established in the shipyards of any of these cities unless they are re-established in all of them. It is, therefore, a duty which the board owes not only to the Govern ment, but to the employers and em ployes of Portland, to study the issues which have arisen in the other ship building centers so that they may make their decisions as to wages in all three places conform to a uniform principle. "Before leaving Portland, we wish to express our appreciation of the many courtesies extended by the citizens of Portland and particularly to thank thos who have taken part in the hear ings for the good spirit which they have shown. All, while presenting forcefully and clearly their side of the controversy, have displayed a willing ness to give and take without bitter ness or rancor, which augurs well for the future. The board confidently ex pects- that its decision, when finallv arrived at, will be accepted and acted upon loyally by both employers and em ployes and that both will co-operate with the examiner or ad luster in the effort to maintain industrial peace." MAJOR L. H. KNAPP DIES VETERA X FAILS TO HALLlTnOJI -API'E.NDIOTIS OPERATION. Keeimentnl Quartermaster for Oregon Troop Born in Portland Forty elRht Tears Abo.

' Three troop trains paslied through Portland yesterday and three Thursday, and were turned over to the Southern pacific here for transportation to Linde Vista, Cal., near Los Angeles, where the 3000 men the trains carried are bound. They came from Camp Lewis at American Lake. The six trains complete the move ment. It is understood the troops are men recently drafted from Southern California, and the sudden change of climate from that part of the country to American Lake was decided to be inimical to their health. It is supposed this is the reason for the return of the men for training in the south. WILSON GETS DUTCH PLEA Petition to President States Party Detained Three Months. NEW YORK. Oct. 19.

YOUNG MEN NEEDED Senator Chamberlain Against Age Limit Change. BEST FITTED MUST FIGHT Older Men Held Less Qualified for Military Service and Should Xot Be Taken Except in Emergency. WASHINGTON, Oct. 19. (Special.) No change in the age limit for drafted men should be made at present, and if it is made the ages should run from 18 to 25, as originally proposed, and not from 21 to 40, as has been proposed tentatively. This is the opinion today of Senator George E. Chamberlain, chairman of the Senate committee on military af fairs. "The younger men will make much better soldiers." continued Senator Chamberlain, 'a nd. with the younger class made subject to the selective law, the question of depe.ndents will be avoided in a very large proportion of cases. Not only are the older men Ifss qualified for military service and as a class less available, but the man who has established his business, his home and his family should not be taken except in case of the most ur gent necessity. "I appreciate as fully as anyone can the distaste of the people for sending the flower of American youth to the battle front, but war is war, and the men best fitted to fight must be put forward and the men best able to main tain them at the front be kept at home." C. A. War Work Council, yesterday was appointed head of the music depart ment of -the Manufacturers and Iand Products Show to be held at the munic ipal Auditorium. November 3 to 24. David M.

Rosen, business agent of the Sail ors' union, Third street, has ac cepted the challenge issued by O. C. Fenlason, of Raymond, Wash., to de bate the question of the "closed" shop. Mr. Fenlason said he was willing to debate with William Mackenzie, of the Metal Trades Council, or anyone else. Mr. Mackenzie is too busy to accept. Mr. Fenlason takes the position that the "closed" shop is unfair to a large number of men and women who have to work, and that it would be decidedly wrong for the plan to be adopted in the United States. Arrangements for the debate probably will be made in a day or so. and to report those who are out after 8 F. M. unless accompanied by their parents or guardians. EDGAR OK LAZARIS ADVISES STATE MISREADING FIGURES. BREAD PRICE FIXTURE Bakers Will Xot Change Until Hoover Committee Reports. The size and price of a loaf of bread will remain as at present until the bak ers receive word from Food Adminis trator Hoover, according to an an nouncement made last night by H. H. Haynes, president of the Bakers' Asso ciation. "The Government experts are going into the matter thoroughly," said Mr. Haynes. "They are Investigating the cost of milling, baking and everything else that has to do with the price of bread. As soon as their investigation is concluded we will be informed of their programme and will abide by it." Portland Man Declares That Ar chitectural Fees and Interent Should Be 92S51.S9. SALEM. Or.. Oct. 19. (Special.) Edgar M. Lazarus, Portland architect, yesterday filed by mail still another amended and increased bill with Sec retary Goodin, of the State Board of Control, for architectural services on the south wing of the receiving ward at the State Hospital, which was con structed about six years ago. In a bill filed the other day he asked for architectural fees and interest amounting to 1966.99, in addition to what he had first received. He stated that the first estimate of the cost of the building was $48,001, but at the re cent meeting he raised this figure to J58, 923.91, saying he based his raise on figures furnished him by W. H. Mulvey, bookkeeper at the State Hospital. In the letter received by Mr. Goodin today, Mr. Lazarus declares that he misread Mr. Mulvey's figures, and that they read $68,789.84. "The whole cost of the building, he says, was $78,435.77, but some of this was for furnishings, which does not apply to the architect. Under his amended bill he asks for $2851.89 from the state.
