They contended that this minimum wage should continue as the basic pay for the men. Advance in " ngrii Shown. The case of the employers was con tained in a report which was read to the board by O. JI. Fischer, a represen tative of the two employers' organiza tions in the wage controversy the board is i n v .icat ins here. The report tended to show by tabu lations how the wages received by the iron workers here kept ahead of the price of round steak, pork chops, wool ens and other food and clothing? staples. Jt is also charged that the men are not abiding by the temporary agreement whereby they ended their recent strike and that such agreement would have been but a "scrap of paper" had not the Government decided to send the wage adjustment board to thi city.

Subsequently V. Everit Macey. chair-. man of the board, asked the labor rep . resentative to submit data, on the cost of llvlns;. "1 consider that a ridiculous request." stated V R. Burton, president of the lion Trades Council, who with Alfred 8. Ounn. of the California Metal Trades Association, was asked by Chairman Macey to sit with the board. DR.

Federal Commission - Paves Way for Arbitration of Other Copper Mine Strikes. WASHINGTON, Oct. 23. President Wilson's special labor investigating commission reported today a settlement of the strike of more than 6000 copper miners in the Globe-Miami district of Arizona on a basis which promises to set a precedent for composing labor dis putes elsewhere. By providing for resumption of work Immediately, the commission paved the way for arbitrating other Arizona cop per mine strikes, which have caused the loss of many million pounds of war metal in the last four months and re sulted in deportation of strikers and ether disorders. - The commission, headed by Secretary Wilson, is expected to press for settle ment many other industrial controver sies during its Western tour, of which the Arizona agreement is the first fruit. Acting on the principle that the prime necessity was to resume active produc tion for war purposes, the commission induced managers of the Old Dominion. Miami, Inspiration and Internationa smelter mines and union leaders to agree to formation of grievance com mittees of workers for each mine. Since union organizations are to be repre sented on these committees, the agree ment was interpreted here as virtually amounting to union recognition by the employers, one of the principal issues involved in the strike. Another important principle put into effect is the co-operation of employers in distributing the insufficient labor supply to the mines most needing men. "Re-employment is to be secured through a central employment bureau for the district." said Secretary Wil son's report to the president. "This provision is made because the labor shortage of the district, as well as the growing labor shortage throughout the country, requires the full utilization of all available power and the regulated employment of the men on strike." Labor officials here said this ar rangement was in line with the Govern ment's tentative plan to induce employ ers to form an association to deal col lectively with labor questions and elim inate economically wasteful movement of workmen between industries or localities. BUDGET WITHIN LIMIT SIX PER CENT LAW NOT EXCEEDED IX DEPARTMENT ESTIMATES, WASHINGTON. Oct. 23 Tomorrow, Liberty day by proclamation of Presi dent Wilson, the Nation faces the test of determining whether the second liberty loan of 1917 shall roll up an overwhelming success. Jt faces the greatest day of the cam paign with not more than half of the 000,000.000 hoped for actually sub fcribed, according to careful estimates compiled by Treasury officials tonight. Two and one-half billion dollars, they estimate, must be obtained in sub scriptions in the four days that re main. The field force of 2,000,000 workers will be reinforced tomorrow by speak crs, including members of the C'abl net, ex-President Taft, William J. Hryan, Speaker A. Clark and other Na tionally known orators. Secretary McAdoo, telegraphing from Nashville, Tenn., sounded the keynote of the day in a Liberty day statement issued here tonight. People Annealed To. "All that is needed now to make the liberty loan an overwhelming suc cess, he said, "is that the people gen erally in all parts of the Nation realize the personal application of the loan appeal. There is still too much of a tendency to believe that the loan will be subscribed easily and without the assistance of the average man and woman. "The liberty loan will succeed only if members of each family realize their di rect responsibility and loan their money to their Government through the pur chase of liberty bonds. "By this means only can a victory be won quickly and peace restored to ago nized humanity. Let neither apathy nor indifference nor over-confidence lull us into a false security. "Militant America can whip the Kai ser; the Kaiser can whip apathetic America. Business to Be Suspended. Business will be well nigh at a stand still throughout the Nation tomorrow, except for the sale of liberty bonds. Designated a National holiday by Presi dent Wilson, the day has also been made a holiday by Governors of the various states. Business houses and schools will be closed; thousands of speakers will deliver addresses and hundred of thousands of new workers will Join for the day the army of 2, 000.000 solicitors already in the field. These workers will carry the call of the Nation with special emphasis to the farmer. The farmers have been invited by the hundreds of thousands to come to town and attend liberty loan rallies and workers also are going into the country to solicit subscriptions. Farmers to Be JProdded. "Particular efforts are to be put for ward," says the Treasury Department's statement tonight, "to obtain further subscriptions from farmers in the South and parts of the Middle West. As was the case a week ago, the rural communities in those sections are mak ing the weakest showings of any in the country. "Returns from all Federal reserve districts show that at the beginning of business today subscriptions of 11.501, 392.150 had been officially reported to them. This represents subscriptions upon which the first payment of 2 per cent has been deposited in banks re porting to the reserve banks. "Unofficial figures Indicate that an estimate of $5,500,000,000 for all sales appears to be conservative. "Briefly stated, then, the situation tonight is that the $3,000,000,000 mini mum quota set for the loan at the out set of the campaign on October 1 will be parsed tomorrow if Liberty day sub scriptions come up to conservative ex pectations. They may carry the total beyond that point. The maximum total of $5,000,000,000 is far distant, how ever. To attain it by the close of the sale Saturday will be a feat worthy of the. best mettle. Official Total Given. 'Official totals of the various dis tricts tollow: "New York, $609,630,000; Boston, $184,200,000; Cleveland, $183,750,000; Minneapolis, $63,250,000; Richmond, $63. 189, r0; Chicago. $185,203,000; St. Louis, $45,522,000; San Francisco, 567, 234.(0; Philadelphia, $44,079,400; Kan sas City, $26,151,000; Dallas. $18,130, 600: Atlanta, $12,962,100. "Reports of maximum quotas having been passed in various parts of the country began to arrive today. . Des Moines Is $700,000 over its maximum; Kansas City thinks It is well past its city quota; Omaha, long past its maxi mum, continues to drive; Cincinnati will exceed Its quota by 30 nr cent; Cleveland hopes for a maximum record, and Pittsburg is past $50,000,090, and going up all the time. Ores-oa Issues Challenge. "Denver reports 8000 subscriptions for a total of more than IS.Q0O.O0O. Ne braska and Kansas are fighting out their old duel as to which will make the better showing. Oregon sends the percentages of nine cities over their minimum marks, and asks the East to shoot at their records. They are: lone, 137 per cent; North Bend, 122 per cent; Carlton. 120 per cent; Paisley, 114 per cent; Helix, 113 per cent; Lakeview, 107 per cent; Jlorrow, 103 per cent, and Jacksonville, 102 per cent. "Boston reports thst New England is moving along gradually. Chicago is turning in many small but few large subscriptions and reports conditions in rural districts to be improving. Kan sas City will turn out 40,000 marchers in its Liberty day parade. "New York wires that its sales will pass the billion-dollar murk tomorrow. Leading citizens of San Francisco will start an extensive campaign to achieve the city's maximum. San Diego has sold more than $3,000,000 and St. Louis reported that it must treble its sub scription list if it will reach its quota. "About the daily average movement of bonds, with high hopes of big sales tomorrow, is reported from Minne apolis. Philadelphia, Dallas, Atlanta and Richmond." St. Paul, through Loui.? W. X I ill. has issued a challenge to the Boy Scouts of all other American communities, tit. Paul Scouts have obtained subscrip tions totaling $711,000, Mr. Hill re ported, while the standing of the Hcouts in St.- Louis is reported as $302. 000; New York, $149,000, and San Fran cisco,, $103,000, with other large cities said to be trailing. Koouts In Competition. (At Mr. Hill's suggestion Secretary McAdoo will present to the Boy Scout organization making the largest sales In the campaign a fittingly inscribed shield or medal, to be furnished by the St. Paul liberty loan committee. In his statement made public by the Depart ment. Secretary McAdoo tells of his ex perience in the Southwest as follows; "The spirit In which the young men of the Southwest have responded to the selective draft law and in which the people generally are now subscribing to the liberty loan is inspiring and heart ening, I have seen many of the sol diers in their camPB and cantonments and have talked with farmers, bankers, cattlemen, professional men and busi ness men and patriotic women. All realize that the United States is en gaed in a righteous war and are deter mined to uphold their Government in prosecuting it vigorously until a glori ous victory is achieved." 1 etjgexe; to iio.lo rally Lane County People Expect to Ex ceed Quota, of $430,000. EUGENE, Or., Oct. 23.-( Special.) A. L. 21111s, president of the First Na tional Bank of Portland, will be the principal speaker at the liberty loan rally to be held here tomorrow night. The meeting is expected to mark the crest in the campaign to raise Lane County's quota of $450,000. Eugene's subscription tonight totaled $194,750. First reports from other cities in the county will be made at a lunch ton at the Osburn Hotel tomorrow, when bankers from Cottage Grove, Springfield, Creswell, Junction City, Florence and Coburg will be present. On Friday the syjol children of the city will participate in a patriotic parade. The Eugene women's commttee re ported that it had received subscrip tions for bonds totaling $25,000. CORVALLIS TO CELEBRATE Monster Parade and Whirlwind Campaign to Mark Liberty Day. CORVALLIS. Or.. Oct. 23. (Special.) Corvallis is preparing for a big cele bration tomorrow in observance of Lib erty Bond day. Every store in town will be closed. A monster parade will be held, headed by a band and mega phone announcers. After the parade, 24 committees will make a whirlwind campaign of every house in town to induce the people to buy bonds. At the close of banking hours this afternoon, Corvallis had raised $145,650 of her allotment of $200,000. To this will be added $9000 for Philomath, and $8950 for Monroe. Benton County will reach her allotment before, Saturday night. Sherwood to Raise Quota. SHERWOOD, Or., Oct. 23. (Special.) While Sherwood has been a little slow In getting started toward raising her apportionment in the liberty bond loan for Oregon, plans are being made for a whirlwind finish. Rev. Edward Constant tomorrow night will be here and address a big gathering in the Friends' Church on the liberty bond loan. Sherwood confidently expects to raise Its quota of $16,000. M)-SJs(BjBa4sas()-BSjB(-4 City Levy, However, May Have to Be Close to 10 Mills to Provide for Grants Allowed at Election. The new 6 per cent tax limitation law will not bother the City Council tomorrow when the sessions are begun to consider the budget estimates and tax levy for municipal purposes for 1914. Official figures were compiled yesterday by City Auditor Funk show ing that the budgets of the various departments as tiled are within tile law as far as increases are concerned. The 6 per cent law would allow an increase of $125,000 next year over the amount raised by taxation this year. The Auditor's figures show that the in crease proposed amounts to $73,155. However, the Council will face the question of a materially increased tax levy beoause of special amounts which wtol have to be raised to carry out improvement plans adopted by the voters at the last city election. The most important item in this line is $120.00u for the South Portland play ground. This requires a tax levy of four-tenths of 1 mill. With the budget standing as it is the levy would have to be about 9.3 mills, as compared with 9 mills for the present year. Witli the special appropriations to be cared for the levy, us figures stand now, would have to be approximately lo mills. The Council will begin its budaet sessions at 10 o'clock tomorrow morn ing, aud probably w-ill be at it for two or three weeks with sessions every (lay. Livestock Embargo Declared. ST. PAUL, Oct. 23.

Allen & Lewis i Mason, Ehrman & Co. i Closset & Devers Honeyman Hardware Co, I Portland Gas & Coke Co, 1 The Oregonian A Message I From Our Soldiers ! to You Few men know the Amer ican soldier better than Ma jor-General John F. O'Ryan, of the New York State troops. Read what he says about the mental atti tude and physical needs of the Army now going to France: . . "The soldiers of the, United States have a direct interest in the success of the next liberty loan. It is said that an army moves on its belly. This means that the Army must be fed. clothed, equipped, armed and supplied with ammuni tion, and this cannot be done without ample funds. The obligations of the sol dier at the front are trying obligations, but they can not be effectively fulfilled without the co-operation of the citisens at home. "There Is another aspect of the subject which Is im portant and interesting. The history of warfare shows that the soldiers in active campaign are more emotional than are the same class at home. This is caused by the character of their experience, involv ing, as it does, privation and the witnessing of un sightly scenes. Soldiers in campaign are tremendously affected for better or worse by the Influence of home news. If they feel that their sacrifices are not In some substantial measure . shared by those at home, the tendency for them is to feel that they are carrying the entire burden of na tional obligation that they have been offered as it were as a national cacrifice, "On the other hand. If home news shows that the people are not only watch ing and applauding, but are substantially supporting the conduct of the war, they are stimulated In their zeal. "Nothing possibly could better serve to increase the optimism of our fighting forces, and to cause them to feel that the people are - back of them and support ing them, than to learn that the next loan, which is to be used in the further ance of victory, has been over-subscribed." This, then, is what the American lads who will fight for you, your country and your flag, expect you to do for them. They want to know whether you propose to back them up. They want to know whether you are ready to take the responsibility of seeing that they are proper ly fed, clothed and armed. They are waiting to hear you say: "I'm with you, boys, to the last penny I ean 'make and scrape. Don't worry about that we're thinking of you, and pray ing for you, and working for you. Go in and win." There is just one way you can send that heartening answer to the appeal of the American Soldiers.
