Labor really la concerned chiefly In tha election of mem bare of tha Legislator, but eome of the more ambltloua mambara of the or ran .' ttoa decided to extend their Bona of Bolitica to Include atat offices. Thar war advocates of Louis J. Simpson and Gus C Moaar and neither aide could make headway against tha ether until taat Sunday, when th Moser people managed to muatar enough votes to bring tha Indoraament to their man. Simpson haa a a iron a: following la tha ranka of labor, and tha Indorsement, of Moaar doaa not pleas them. They point out that tha Kundar meeting waa amall and that the Moser indorsement waa made than rather than last Thursday night, when a Ur;e and mora repreaontallv (aw erlnr waa bald. Then ther la th Senatorial situa tion. For weeks, or rather, from the Inception of the labor legislative com . mittee. there has been a determined ef - fort on tha part of the frlenda of San' ator Ale Nary to secure for him the In dorsement. Tbe friends of Stanfield and Huston Insisted that their candl datca were more entitled to the sup port of labor than waa Mc-Nary. Per aoually. they opposed any Indorsement for Senator on the ground that the beat politics to play would be to confine the labor Indorsements to candidate for tbe State Legislature. At the Thursday night meeting, champions of Oswald West Joined with th supporters of Huston and R. N. fitanfield In opposing any Indorsement for Senator. The West agents urged that labor make no Indorsement until a(ter the primaries so that labor might then Indorse west. ineir plan, evi dently, was to prevent complications for West and to snake his campaign more smooth. There were renewed efforts by the Mc.N'ary supporters Sunday- to bring his Indorsement, and while they co operated wltb the Moser supporters to a Large extent, the Closer lorcea oiu sot reciprocate sufficiently to enable JltNur to capture the approval of tbe Labor legislative committee. Hue ton'a friends In tbe labor movement continued to maintain that no Indorse menl should be made, although at that time Huston had publicly withdrawn from the contest for Senator. a It was with a feeling of genuine ptimlsm that E. D. Cuslck. of Albany. Itepubllran candidate for State Treas urer, returned yesterday from a tour ef Ka stern Oregon. In the last le rtays Mr. Cuslck haa visited the voters In the counties of Malheur.

He haa that assurance from fhe voters of the various coun ties visited. It la the Intention of Mr. Cuslck to devote the remainder of the campaign to the Interest of bis can didacy In the western part of tbe state. e e e At tta last meeting tha Oregon Re rubllran Clnb unanimously Indorsed the candidacy of Ralph K. Williams for re-election as Republican National committeeman. Mr. Williams Is con ducting an agrresalve campaign for re-election to the office he has held for th past 10 years. a An enthusiastic rally ef supporters of Odi C. M osier.

WASHINGTON. April 30. With view to speeding the arrival and de-1 parture of ahlps in American porta, I the Government departments having to I do with overseas transportation today created a port, terminal and harbor I improvement commission to be put in I charge of all port facilities. The com mission s first aim will be to so link I the railroads and shipping lines that I unnecessary delays will be eliminated. 1 Edward F. Carry, director of oper ations for the Shipping Board, heads I the commission, which has as its mem bers Benjamin E. Winchell. represent ing the Railroad Administration; S. M. Felton, representing the War Depart ment; Captain A. C Hodgson, repre senting the Navy: Dr. Edwin F. Gay, of I tbe War Trade Board; J. H. Rossiter, of the Paclflo Mall line, and George S. I Dearborn, of the American-Hawaiian I line. Lack ef Congestion Factor. Th commission will put into full op- I oration a system, already started, of I freight diversion .under which ships will load and unload at the less con gested ports. Th plan calls for an I agreement by which both exports and I Imports-will be handled through porta which will require the least amount I of railroad transportation. As a part of th programme for util izing more fully Southern ports the commission will be given authority to build drydooks and repair plants for he Shipping Board. In improving port I facilities it will work with municipal ities, many of which have already spent I large sums in harbor improvements. Portland shippers and commercial In terests feel that at last their efforts to help the Government, In offering port facilities that are not suffering from congestion, are to be recognized through the decision of th commission o inaugurate a new system of freight diversion so ships will be dispatched I to and from harbors where congestions do not exist. Portland Offers Solution. The aim to take advantage of the I least amount of railroad transporta tion certainly places Portland and the I Columbia River district In front place, for there ia abundant space lor han dling inbound and outbound cargo and I rapid dispatch in loading and dls- harglng cargo has been made here as I . anv port on the Paclflo Coast.
