TIIE MORNING OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, NOVE3IBER 21. 1917. LABOR FEDERATION PLEDGES LOYALTY Vote to Support National Administration Shows No Dissenters. PACIFIST ELEMENT SILENT Resolution to Stand Back of Gov crnment Is Sweeping in Scope. Gompcrs Call for Confer ence Is Approved. BUFFALO, X. Y., Nov. 20. Without a dissenting vote the American Federa tion of Labor reaffirmed its unswerv ing loyalty to the country and a deter mination to stand behind the National Administration until peace comes. The pacifist element, which yesterday mus tered a small minority against Presi dent Gompers' attitude in. support of the war, was silent. The resolution containing the declar ation was reported favorably by the resolutions committee. It was sweep ing: in scope. The course pursued by President Gompers in calling a confer ence of the National and international officers of the federation at Washing ton on March 12 was approved and all his subsequent actions and those of the executive council with reference to the war were concurred in. The pacifists declared that they were unaware that the resolution was to come up today. They made no move for a reconsideration, however, and It "was pointed out that while their fight yesterday was based on a vote of con fidence in President Gompers, today's resolution called for a declaration on a clear-cut question of loyalty to the country. Giffonl IMnehot Spcnkn. This resolution with others from the committee on resolutions occupied vir tually the entire day. Vice-President James Duncan made a report at the afternoon session on his trip to Rus sia as a member of the commission appointed by President Wilson, and Gifford Pinchot, speaking for the Fed erated Board of Farm Organizations, asked for closer relations between the farmers' organizations and the Ameri can Federation of Labor. The committee on resolutions, con tinuing its report, commended the work of the Federation's executive council on old age pensions for Gov ernment employes and civil rights. It deplored that part of the espionage law which "threatened unduly the restric tion of a free press." Taking up the report of the execu tive cour-eil on the high cost of print paper, the resolutions committee rec ommended that the executive council continue to work for measures that would bring about a reduction in prices and "curb the greed of the paper ti ust." Wage Advances Expected. John Burk, of the sulphite and paper workers, gave notice that when the piesent wage agreement with the paper manufacturers expired next Spring an advance 'in wages wouJd be asked. "If prices of paper are fixed by the Government," Mr. Burk said, "it must not be at the expense of labor." On motion of Max S. Hayes, of the Typographical Union, the report of the committee was amended to place the federation on record in favor of a Government-owned paper manufacturing plant. The only resolution that caused ex tended debate related to the organiza tion of negro labor. It was submitted by Delegate Murphy, of San Francisco, and embodied in its preamble a resolu tion adopted by the International Negro League and presented to the San Fran cisco Labor Council for Indorsement. The Negro League's resolution spe cifically referred ' to the "Southern 6tates" as the scenes of wrongs In flicted upon the race. Race Riots Recalled. The resolutions committee reporting to the convention assumed no re sponsibility for the statements In the preamble of the Murphy resolution and recommended reference to the execu tive council of only that part of It re ferring to organization of the negroes. O. D. Gorman, of Georgia, protested against the reference to the Southern etates remaining in the record and moved as an amendment to strike out the entire section. "The slaughter at Kast St. Louis came as a result of thefts by starving negroes enticed away from their South ern homes," Gorman said. "I defy any delegate to point to a single instance of a negro being killed for robbery in the South. I resent this reference to the Southern states. The treatment of the negro in the South is better than it has been in the North.". Finally the report was amended by the resolutions committee to read: "Your committee cannot be responsi ble for and rejects the statements con tained in the preamble of the resolu tion," and as so amended the report was adopted. In his address on Russia, Vice-President Duncan expressed confidence In the ultimate formation of a stable and lasting republican government there. "Give them an opportunity to develop their new democracy and there will be born in it a national spirit that will be worth fighting for," he said. WOLFRAMITE ARE SOUGHT ev Trade and Industrial Uevclop nicnt in Cliiiia of Interest. CANTON, Nov. 10. A new trade and Industrial development of interest In the Canton district has resulted from the growing demand for wolframite ore and the recent discovery that this mineral is to be found in marketable quantitie in Kwangtung Province. The demand corned chiefly from Amer ica, and as soon as the ore was known to exist here American merchants im mediately set about its exploitation, says American Consul-General P. S. Heintzleman. Little reliable information on the occurrence r.nd production of wolfram In this district is obtainaUe. This is not surprising, the discovery of the ore was made only recently, and the mining bureau has had few applicants for mining rights covering this ma terial. Just following the discovery of wolfram ore. in a majority of cases the natives, and even the official dep uties mistook it for manganese or iron ore, until the high prices offered raised a suspicion that it must contain some thing different from the commoner metals. The Japanese first learned of the value of the "iron ore" in Hunan Province and offered about 27 cents Mexican, or 17 cents gold, a pound for it. Other buyers learned of the bar gain and offered better prices. Now the average ore commands about $50 Mexican, or $32 gpld, per 100 pounds at Canton. Much of the ore comes from Cheng chow, Hunan Province, adjacent to the border of Kwangtung Province. It is transported on human shoulders from the mine southward to Ping Shek, Kwangtung, a distance of about 60 miles. From here it 1 carried In small junks down the North River to Shiu chow. an additional distance of 80 miles, whence it is brought to Canton over the Yueh-Han Railway. All the mining is done by hand. Production and transportation costs are not made public. Many anxious buyers, not waiting for the ore to reach Canton, have established headquarters at Lok Chong, a small town on the west bank of the North River, 40 mileB above Shiuchow, where they are able to in tercept the cargoes and get, firet choice from the middleman who has bought up the ore. The middleman daily col lects the goods direct from the miners in varying small amounts. Several places in Kwangtung are said to produce wolfram ore. but since investigation by the provincial govern ment is so limited and the differentia tion of minerals by the natives is so unreliable, the importance of these places must be confirmed by experts. Several, however, are positively known to produce the valuable ore. The Fu Min Co. has a claim at Walchow, on the East River. The corporation per mits ine natives to mine In the con cession, but insists on the exclusive right to buy the product. . The cur rent prices paid for the ore to the min ers is about 20 gold per hundred weight, and the company obtains about $32 gold at Canton. The number of miners engaged in this enterprise va ries between 1000 and 2000. The method of mining is principally hand placering. The miners dive for the san3 and wash it for the heavy ore. The ore runs from mere dust to the size of walnuts or larger. PASSENGERS LIST IS HEAVY X. X. K. Liner Well Filled on First Trip of New Service to Seattle. TOKIO, Nov. 12.

AGED LINN WOMAN DEAD Mrs. Narcissa Carothers Dies at Age of 90. ALBANY, Or.. Nov. 20. (Special.) Mrs. Narcissa Carothers, 90, resident of Linn County for 45 years, died at the home of her son, Alvin J. Carothers, here today. She was born in Indiana and spent her early life in Illinois.

War Department, the commander of the medical officers' training camp at Fort Harrison. Ind., is directed to as sign 25 officers of the Medical Reserve Corps to the aviation section. Signal Corps, and direct them to proceed to Portland to report to Colonel Brice P. Disque for assignment, to squadrons now being organized. Behind this order, which tells very little, is the story of the decision of the War Department to organize a regiment of 7000 experienced loggers and lumbermen and to utilize that reg iment, when trained, in getting out air craft spruce from the forests of Ore gon and Washington. Spruce produc tion has been greatly retarded by the activities of the I. W. W. and Is still being hampered. The West Coast mills are unable to turn out spruce lumber as fast as required by airplaine fac tories, in the United States and in the allied countries of Europe. The determination to organize a reg iment of loggers and lumbermen was reported only after other expedients had failed. In this way spruce produc tion will become a military function to a large extent, and once this reg iment gets into action a decided im provement in the spruce situation is looked for.

POLITICAL RIGHTS BRING OBL GAT ONS Roosevelt Urges New York Women to Perform Full Duty. PRO-GERMANS CONDEMNED War Held Prime Duty at This Time, and New Voters Are Asked to In sist That It Be Fought to Victorious Conclusion. NEW YORK, Nov. 20. Responsibili ties the women of New York State have inherited through their enfran chisement were outlined by Colonel Theodore Roosevelt at a macs meeting in the Metropolitan Opera-House in celebration of the recent woman suf frage victory. Governor Whitman and Dr. Anna Howard Shaw were other speakers. Colonel Roosevelt roused the enthu siasm of the women when he expressed the hope that the Federal woman suf frage amendment would soon be adopt ed. Then he said he would speak to them about their newly acquired "heavy responsibilities." ,, "Hitherto my appeal has been that you should be given a right," he said, "to which in my Judgment you were entitled-. Now you have been given this right. Now my appeal is not for you, but to you. Now I must earnestly and solemnly ask that you will well and faithfully perform hhe duty which the giving of the right entails. Rijgbts Involve Obligation. "What we citizens of the democracy who enjoy full political rights need to remember is that we have no moral right to their enjoyment, and that in the long run we will not be permitted to enjoy them, unless we perform the duties necessarily implied in their pos session. In this world neather man nor woman has any rigth to the enjoy ment of a privilege unless he or she accepts and fulfills the obligations ac companying it." "A democracy that represents merely the enjoyment of privilege is bound in the end to go down. It is only a democracy based on service which can permanently endure. The enjoyment of the right and the performance of the duty must go hand in hand." Pro-Grrmaiii Condemned. Women commit "moral treason" against the United States who do not insist that the war be fought to a victorious conclusion. Colonel Roose velt declared. He condemned the "Ger manized socialists in this country, men and women alike, the professional paci fists and the professional pro-Germans and all others who aid and abet them," as traitors to America and to mankind. Although the war, he said, is the "prime duty of the moment," there were other problems wheih he believed he extension of suffrage would clarify. "It is my belief." he said, "that cer tain duties in the way of securing Justice, about which many men are lukewarm will enlist the support of all women." GERMANS STEAL STUFF AMERICAN METHODS OF ADVERTIS ING USED TO CiET 'LOAN. Central Bureau Prepares "Copy," Which Ih Placed in Big Dlnplay Advertise ments and Sent to Newspapers. BERNE, Nov. 1. (Correspondence of the Associated Press.) Germany recog nized fully in its seventh war loan the value of advertising. It availed itself to the full of methods that might be called American in their spectaeulur qualities and that probably contributed materially to such success as the last loan Just closed achieved. Yet these advertisements, spectacu lar and clever as they were, and "Amer ican" as they seemed to be, revealed, perhaps unconsciously, the weakness of the loan. For, despite their spectacu lar effectiveness, they told a story that it i's doubtful whether Germany wanted told. ' The display advertisements that ap peared daily In every important German journal from the middle of September until October 14 contained two out standing features. Almost invariably they contained more or less passionate and only thinly-veiled assurances that investment in the loan was safe which surely would not have been inserted had not there been serious doubt in the minds of the German people who were asked to subscribe. And, again and again, the public was implored to suscribe without thinking, with oift consideration. and was more or less deliberately asked to abandon its customary caution in choosing its investments and subscribe merely as a patriotic duty, regardless of what the value of the investment might be. The advertising for the seventh loan, like the fifth and sixth, was operated from a central bureau that prepared the "copy" striking two and three column display advertisements and sent it to every important paper. Pro vincial papers, in addition, were en couraged to vary the programme with advertisements of their own that pre sented a particular appeal to their own readers. Papers in cities bombed by the French interlarded the stock adver tisements with appeals to their readers to subscribe to the seventh war loan as an answer to the acts of the entente in bombarding unfortified cities. The Stuttgart papers furnish a good example of the way in which the pro vincial German press has taken advan tage of local happenings to vary the routine advertising sent out from head quarters in Berlin. Immediately fol lowing the latest Frencn raid' they came out with the following blank forms for subscribers to sign: "In consequence of the aerial attacks on my home city of Stuttgart I have de cided to double the amoun. I originally subscribed to the seventh war loan." INDIANS BUY SILK HOSE Alaskan Fishermen Experience l"n hcard of Prosperity. SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 14. War time prices and a record run of fish has brought to the Alaskan Indian a prosperity such as he has never known before. Today in Juneau, Ketchikan, Seward and other Alaska cities he is purchasing everything in sight. No longer is his wife content to wear cot ton hose of the cheapest grade. Noth ing but the finest silk stockings suit her. When the family travel by water they go in their own fast motorboat, and when shopping in town they hire taxicabs by the hour. An interesting account of this pros perity is given by C. E. Flye, a steam- ship agent, who has Just returned after an extensive trip through Southeastern and Southwestern Alaska. "A merchant at Juneau." said Klye, "advised me that Indian families that usually come to his store with 1500 or J600 in the Fall have been coming in with $2000 or $3000. They do not know what tq do with the money and are purchasing everything that catches their eye. I saw an Indian woman at Juneau pay 60 for a coat with fur collar and trimmings." Flye states that this prosperity also has been enjoyed by the packers them selves. Every -cannery increased Its output during the season just ended. He says that a new Industry has de veloped in Southwestern Alaska, espe cially in Lower Cook's Inlet and in and around Kodiak Island, and that is the packing of herring. A representative of the United States fisheries bureau has been In that vicinity for some time educating the people Interested in the different methods of packing. Another reason given for Alaska's new prosperity is the demand for in dustrial metals. Copper mines that have been Idle for many years are now doing their best. . EX-AMERICAN LEADS LORDS Former Employe of United States Banking Firm Sent to Parliament. LONDON, Nov. 12. The Scottish peers have chosen an American-born business man to represent them in the House of Lords. Lord Fairfax of Cameron, who was born in the United States, worked for an American banking firm until the death of his father 17 years ago and now is a member of the firm of Bon bright & Co.. of London and New York. He is a naturalized British subject and established his claim to the barony be fore the committee of privileges of the House of Lords in 1908. Lord Fairfax' peerage dates from 1627. The second holder was the Gen eral Fairfax who defeated the royal army at Marsdon Moor and was sub sequently Governor of the city of York. The sixth peer inherited a vast tract of land in Virginia, where he settled. Since that time the family have been almost entirely resident In the United States. His lordship is the 12th holder of the title. A Scottish peerage does not entitle the holder to a seat in the House of Lords by virtue of his title. At the beginning of every Parliament the Scottish peers meet and elect 16 of their number to represent them during Its duration. Three of the representative Scottish peers have died during the' present Parliament and a bye-election has just taken place to fill the vacan cies. JAPAN'S SHIPYARDS GROW Total of 4 8 Merchants Craft 2 08,000 Tons Launched. of TOKIO. Nov. 1. That Japanese ship yards are doing an increasingly big business is shown by the fact that, during the first nine months of 1917, 48 merchant ships with a total of 208, 000 tons were launched at the six prin cipal yards. These figures do not in clude craft of less than 1000 tons. The Japan Steamship Company (Nip pon Yusen Kaisha) has placed con tracts with the Yokohama Dock Com pany for the construction of two ships yearly for ten consecutive years. Each vessel is to be 6000 tons, and the total amount provided for all the construc tion Is more than 84,000,000 yen. Thla figure has been necessitated by the ex panding trade of the" company and the demand made upon its management by the shareholders that its capital be largely increased in order to operate on lines now practically abandoned by other maritime powers. Among the projected routes arp those connecting Australia with the Pacific Coast of America, and Bombay with Liverpool via South Africa. On the other side of the account stands 20 Japanese vessels destroyed by German submarines. They aggre gate 86,975 tons.

Mrs. Chance G. Earnest, wife of the auto mobile expressman between Hollldays burg and Claysburg, appeared before Exemption Board No. 1 and pleaded that her husband be sent to war. Ear nest had been discharged by the board because he had a dependent wife and two children. Mrs. Earnest renounced all claim of dependency, declaring: "I will work my fingers to the bone rather than be a slacker's wife." The board revoked Earnest's dis charge and ordered him to report for military duty. Test your garden soil for acidity. Procure a dime's worth of blue litmus paper at a drug store.

EIGHT JURORS OBTAINED Men Accepted All of Mature Years, With Children of Their Own; Defendant's Interest in Trial Is Reviving. MINEOLA. L. I., Nov. 20. (Special.) It was a little thing to Blanca de Saulles that the four Jurors picked to day to sit in judgment upon her were as much of her lawyer's own choosing as were the first four. The combina tion of clever Jockeying and good luck through which there had been put Into the box eight men of whom not one was under the age of 58, kindly souls with children of their own and as ap proximate an understanding of mother love as their sex may ever realize, seemed to have escaped her.

Wednesday morning's reunion between mother and son is only the first of a eerles. At least twice a week throughout the trial the two will have a chance to be together.

It is known, though, that a threat of habeas corpus proceedings had been made by Mr. Uterhart, perhaps the result of a coun cil between Mrs. de Saulles, her mother, Mrs. Blanca Vergara Errazuriz, her brother, Guillermo, and her sister, Amalia. Behind the threat of a writ was a broken promise. Mr. Uterhart said that the relatives of little Jack's father had agreed to let him be with his mother at stated intervals during her imprison ment, and had not kept their word. "After the first few visits they kept the boy away." he asserted. "We could not find out exactly where he was. Two weeks ago I wrote a strong letter and Jack saw his mother again.
