THE MliLMMi CUECiOAx-,. jiG.
SPRUCE LEAGUE AIM
Organization of Workers Into
Loyal Legion Proposed.
LABOR THOUGHT PLENTIFUL
Committee of Mill Owners and Ixg
gers Called to Meet in Office of
Colonel Dlsquo to Discuss
Production Campaign.
Organization of mill and camp own
rs and their employes into an order
of a patriotic nature, with the object
In view of giving special recognition
to their services in helping-.to win the
war, will probably be effected at a
meeting in the office of Colonel Brlce
P. Disque, Yeon building, tomorrow.
He Is ranking officer in command of
the spruce production division of the
Signal Corps, with headquarters here,
and is desirous of bringing Into one
big company all of the men engaged in
this work.
' "It Is my Idea that this organization
should be given an appropriate name,
and among those suggested is 'Loyal
Legion of Lumbermen.' That Is per
haps not Just the proper title, but it
expresses the general need," said Colo
nel Disque. "A committee of mill own
ers and loggers will -meet In my office
Tuesday to form the order. .It is pro
posed to have a badge of an appropri
ate nature for each member, the whole
plan being based upon patriotism and
the fact that anyone who gives his
assistance to the spruce production
campaign Is Just as much a help in
winning the war as though he were
-Working in the first-line trenches."
Only Supervision Planned
Colonel Disque wishes the mill and
eamp owners and their employes to
handle the details of the organization
themselves, as it is upon them that he
and his staff are depending f or .active
co-operation in getting out the spruce
necessary to. help win the war. ,
Plans for the employment of suffi
cient men to man the logging camps
and mills are being worked out by
R. P. Bonham, in charge of the local
United States Immigration Districlf,
who is co-operating with the munic
ipal employment office In this very
Important phase of the situation. He
Is of the belief that it will be pos
sible, to provide plenty of help, espe
cially if it is found possible to advance
the men their transportation to the
places of their labor. ,
A survey of the shipbuilding plants
In Portland and vicinity has Just been
completed by the Federal branch of the
employment bureau, disclosing the fact
that, aside from skilled mechanics, all
of the yards have sufficient help at the
present time. Common labor is not In
dVmand any longer for this work, and
, it is the opinion of Mr. Bonham and
his aides in charge of this work that
many men who are now located in
""-Portland and who have been seeking
work of this nature can be diverted to
tho logging camps and mills.
Work Requires 10,000 Men.
There will be need for a total of
10,000 men to work in the spruce cam
paign, the plans for which require the
production of 10,000.000 feet a month
from the forests of Oregon and Wash
ington until the programme is exe
cuted. Colonel Disque hopes to com
plete this by the latter part of April
by the latest, as it is absolutely essen
tial that this should be accomplished
to fulfill the plans of the War De
partment. No men are being employed at the
office of the Signal Corps, but those
wishing employment In this work
should call at the municipal-Federal
office. 249 Ankeny street, where spe
cial agents will be In charge to take
care of them.
After the creation of the spruce pro
duction division of the Signal Corps
by Secretary of War Baker for the
express purpose of doing this impor
tant work. Colonel Disque. was as
signed to the command with head
quarters in Portland, and he has moved
his family here and will temporarily
be a resident of this city.
NARIKIN TAX ADVISED
JAP EDITOR WOULD ESTABLISH A
COUNTERBALANCE SYSTEM.
In Flowery KIncdom Prices of Com
, moditle Mm Risen BO Per
Cent Slnca War Opened.
TOKIO. Nov. 10. The Torodlzu phi
losophizes on the subject of rise of
prices of commodities and fall of prices
of men. and advocates that a system
of rrarlkin tax be established. The
editor, socialistic minded as he is, says
that th(B present-day phrase "the rise
of prices of commodities" runs par
allel with a phrase "the fall of prices
of men."
The editor further tells us that the
prices of commodities had risen 50
per cent before the war, as com
pared with 10. years before that time,
and at present they have risen twice
a high as before the war. But the
Income of ordinary people has re
mained constant. Besides the kind of
work required of men in service has
become more and more difficult to do.
Today employers do not use money,
but money employs employers. For in
stance, the salaries of policemen, who
are entrusted with the duty of protect
ing lives and property of the people,
have only been raised recently by 2
Jen a month. At this rate, there will
be a scarcity of policemen, as there is
of postmen. .
Reasonable or unreasonable, the peo
ple today yeaan for gains. The hokku,
"without sake to drink, who cares for
cherry?" has now come to be para
phrased Into "without money to use,
who cares for a mere man." What
ever one tries to undertake, the first
consideration is money. Capital is
first, second, third in importance. The
editor quotes from Shakespeare, who
remarked about the might of gold, and
says that he feels the significance of
the statement.
Today, in elections, it is the question
of the contents of the candidate's bag,
whereas years ago it was that of his
constituency. The cause of strikes is
money. Laborers would not mind hard
work or long hours, but they are par
ticular about their pay. A steel narikin
said to the editor recently that the
magnet which draws iron is made of
Iron, and therefore the magnet which
draws money should be money.
Thus when narlkins abound, there
will be more of poor people. The so
ciety will be divided into two parts,
namely, the narikin and the poor. This
Is not desirable to the editor. He says
that national resources should be
rather more equally distributed among
the people. He says that unless steps
are taken to adjust prices of men there
will rise something more serious than
the rise of prices of commodities.

BUILDERS MAY UNITE
Organization of Wooden Ship
yard Owners Proposed.
CO-OPERATION IS DESIRED
Secretary Dodson, of Chamber of
Commerce, Thinks Time Is Pro- -pltions
for Pushing Kew In
dustry to Leading Position.
Organization of the -wooden ship
building industry for its own advance
ment and protection probably will be
effected in the near future. Steps will
be taken by W. D. B. Dodson, .executive
secretary of the Portland Chamber of
Corqmerce and temporary secretary of
a committee named some weeks ago to
investigate tha situation of these yards
on the Coast, to put the business on a
permanent foundation. '
It is believed by those Interested In
the busienss that there should bo a
permanent organization. Including- all
shipbuilders engaged in the construc
tion of wooden vessels at all Pacific
Coast ports, for the upbuilding of the
industry and its fostering and protec
tion. Numerous features requiring the
attention of some trained man are con
stantly coming up for consideration,
and at present there is no organiza
tion or the men engaged in the busi
ness, although it is one 9f the most
Important in the Coast commercial
world of today. i
There is an organization of th build
ers of the Columbia River basin, but
It Is the purpose of those now backing
the move for Coast-wide interests that
every builder of wooden ships on the
Coast should be Included in a group
that will have for its object the wel
fare of this great industry.
I consider this a most favorable
time to organise and jmt forward the
best efforts of the combined shipbuild
ers of the Pacific Coast." said Mr. Dod
son yesterday. "With the reorganiza
tion or tne snipping Board and a more
reasonable situation prevailing at
Washington in this regard, it seems
to me an excellent opportunity is af
forded for Portland and the entire
Coast to get into the- game in a much
larger and more extensive manner. We
should make of this Industry one of
the greatest magnitude, and it should
be built up and protected in every way.
so that this section or tne country.
which has the timber to build any num
ber of boats, shall have its Inning In
tnis very important matter."
It is probable that Mr. Dodson and
others will take steps this week or ear
ly next to put the proposed organiza
tlon under way.
J. PULITZER THOUGHT - SAFE
Charterer Believes Vessel, Ont of
Astoria, October 2 7, Delayed.
That the Joseph Pulitzer, under
charter to Dr. Andrew C. Smith and
A. L. Mackintosh, of Bend, and sent
out from Astoria October 7 with a
cargo of general merchandise destined
for Dutch Harbor, is not lost, but has
been delayed by strong winds Is the
belief of Dr. Smith, of Portland. Some
fear has been expressed that the for
mer pilot schooner had been lost.
"I see no reason to entertain any such
fears." said Dr. Smith yesterday. "While
so far as known the .vessel has not
been sighted. It is certain that thefe
have been strong winds and she un
doubtedly has been delayed. I think
she will be reported soon."
The John Pulitzer left In command
of Captain Wendt. an experienced marl
ner, familiar with the Alaska Coast
and a capable navigator. H. E. Smith,
brother of Dr. Smith, is also aboard.
The cargo consisted of 48 tons of
general merchandise, liOO feet of lum
ber and 15 barrels of gasoline. She
was to bring back a cargo of codfish.
Dr. Smith and Mr; Mackintosh char
tered the Joseph Pulitzer for three
months from the owner, the Port of
Portland, for the trip. She was for
merly used as a pilot boat in New York
and was brought here for the same
purpose by the Port of Portland and
was formerly in service at the mouth
of the Columbia River.

SEA DEFENSES REPORTED
American Consulting Engineer In
vestigates British Guiana Work.'
GEORGETOWN, British Guiana, Nov.
1. Early in 1916 an American con
sulting engineer came to British Guiana
to investigate and .report on the sea
defenses of the colony. His report was
completed in July last year, and work
of construction was immediately com
menced in accordance with his recom
mendations, which will probably re
quire two or three years to complete.
Last Spring the Government request
ed him to Investigate the cause of. the
changes In the river channel and bar
at the mouth of the Demerara River
and to recommend a scheme for their
Improvement. Ills report on this sec
ond project has Just been published.
To dal with tho problem of the bar
he advises the construction of a break
water 12,000 feet in length, which he
suggests should be built of reinforced
concrete, and the purchase, of a suction
dredge. He recommends that steps be
taken as soon as possible to properly
mark th entrance channel by laying
down four gas buoys and, by removing
the existing lightship and mooring an
unattended light vessel at the seaward
end of the channel, and the erection of
a lighthouse to the west of the mouth
of the Kssequlbo River. The estimated
cost of the proposed work is 1.242.255,
made up of 12.000 feet of reinforced
concrete breakwater at 188 per running
foot. $996,000; concreting sides and top
of existing Fort Groyne. 17000; suction
dredge complete, 104000; cost of
lighthouse at Hampton Court. 834.600;
Installation of four. gas buoys, $5000;
installation of unattended light vessel.
36,B00. and a 5 per cent engineering
fee. The formation of a harbor board,
under whose control the harbor should
be placed, is also suggested.
A copy of the' engineer's detailed re
port has been forwarded by Consul
Chamberlain. This will be loaned to
Interested American firms by the Bu
reau of Foreign and Domestic Com
merce, at Washington. D. C. Refer to

MAJ. REDMOND HONORED

MAX WHO DIED FOR IT. -
Shamrock: Planted o Last RestliUK
Place of Nationalist as Cannons
- Roar Americana Tbere.
BRITISH HEADQUARTERS IX
FRANCE. Oct. 22. (Correspondence of
Associated Press.) Representatives of
the American Army vesterdav Joined
with a distinguished delegation of civil
ians from Ireland and with fighting
men from allied nations in paying trib
ute to the memory of Major William
Redmond, the Irish Nationalist who
dedicated his work for the unification
of his country by giving his life In the
battle of Messines on June 7, this year.
Redmond lies buried in the garden
of a Belgian convent not far from the
battle lines, and here soldiers from
both Ulster and Southern Ireland, to
gether with officers from the British.
American, French and Belgian armies
gathered for. the memorial, service,
which included the planting at the foot
of the grave of a consecrated sod of
shamrock from the famous Vinegar hill
in County Wexford, where the Redmond
family have lived so long.
Irish civilian representatives were
Nicholas Byrne. Mayor of Wexford: Dr.
Myles KcoRh. High Sheriff of Dublin,
and Dr. James Ashe, of Dublin, all of
whom were active In creation of a me
mortal fund for Major Redmond. Two
squads of infantry, one from Ulster
and the- other from counties in the
south of Ireland, were drawn up on
either side of the grave; grouped about
were allied officers, including a Major
and two Captains from the United
States Army, and nuns who cared for
the grave daring tho past months.
The day was ideal, with bright Octo
ber sun enhancing the color of the
flowers and Autumn-tinted foliage of
the garden. The surroundings were In
congruous with war and yet tho thun
der-of never-silent guns swept back
over the country as an accompaniment
to the service, while nearby great ob
servation balloons swung at their an
chors.
The ceremony was simple. No more
affecting chord was struck than when
Dr. Keogh stepped forward and, as an
emissary of Major Redmond's widow,
placed on the mound a little bunch of
heather she had gathered in the garden
of their home as an offering to the
memory of the man whose grave she
could not see until the war had run
Its course.
The planting of the sod of shamrocks
was made the occasion for a plea that
all Irishmen Join In the unity which
Redmond so long sought. Dr. Ashe
performed the brief rite, saying that
as shamrock is the emblem of unity,
"so may all we Irish unite for the wel
fare of our beloved country."
Later, in a short address. Dr. Ashe
emphasized this sentiment, in these
words: "Irishmen from the nqrth, east.
south and west, what matter if at dif
ferent shrines we pray unto one God?
What matter if at various times our
fathers won the sod? We must sink
our big differences, putting self and
selfish Interests on one side and with
firm confidence In our one God strive
to do all in our power to bring to Ire
land peace ana happiness."
Redmond was over 60 years of age
when he took- his command. Dr. Ashe
drew attention to this and added, "he
could have had a staff appointment
and been alive today, but he preferred
to go over the top with the men he
loved and who loved him. and thus fell.

Charles Whitesldes. IS. son of A. E.
Whitesldes, of 80 uimby street, is un

boyish scuffle Saturday night with Ed
ward Love, also IS, son of J. M. Love, of
490 Woodard avenue.
Patrolman Hewston, passing by a
garage at Twentieth and Washington
streets shortly after 9 o'clock, found
the Whitesldes boy lying on -the side
walk unconscious and bleeding profuse
ly, with a group of other boys stand
ing about him. Hewston attended the
injured boy and sent hi in to the hos
pital lh an ambulance, while a special
Deputy Sheriff, who happened to be
present, quizzed the boys and arrested
Edward Love.
According to the story told by the
Love boy. all the lads were members
of a junior boy scout organization, and
were playing together in the garage.
An argument arose between him and
Charles Whltaesldes, and Charles
struck at him. Love struck back, he
says, hitting WfUtesides on the arm.
The Whitesldes boy then turned and
ran out of the garage, struck his head
against a telephone pole and fell to the
sidewalk.
The exact nature of the Whitesldes
boy's Injuries had not been determined
at the hospital last night. He has
momentary periods of consciousness,
but is unable to explain how he was

condition.
BELGIANS FORCED TO WORK
Men Who Refuse to Labor Placed In
Prison and Sent to Front.
HAVRE, Nov. 14. Further evidence
of the forcible conscription of Belgian
citizens for hazardous work near the
front lines has Just been received here
by the Belgian government. At Bruges
all male citizens were requisitioned and
divided into three classes those who
refused to work, those who "agreed"
to work and those who "agreed to per
form military work."
Men who refused to work were
thrown into prison, provided with very
little food and water, and at the end of
a few days sent to the front, so near
the lines that a number of them have
been killed and wounded.
It is not difficult to understand why
other men. frightened by similar ex
amples, famished by hunger and un
nerved by the lamentations of their
families, sickness and other privations,
have "enlisted." After this pretended
voluntary enlistment the men are sent
to ports where they assist in the un
loading of boats and receive payment of
3 marks a day. If the Herman author
ities succeed by threats and violence
in obtaining their "consent" to per
form work of a military nature, the
men are sent to the front. There they
are forced to dig trenches and con
struct concrete defenses under heavy
ahellflre. for which they receive 6 to 10
marks a day.
Not even women have been spared by
the Uerman taskmasters in Belgian
territory. They have been forced to
repair soldiers' clothing and to assist
in the manufacture of cartridges. ,
FATS NEEDED" BY KAISER
Mountains of Potatoes Won't Help

tains of potatoes will not save Kaiser-

greatest corn crop in the world would
do the Germans no good if they have
no milk and meat.
These statements were made In a
recent lecture here by Dr. W. U. Bate-
man, assistant professor of physiologi
cal chemistry at the University of Mon

"Fuel foods are absolutely essential
to the human system." Dr. Bateman
declared. "These foods are proteins,
