Portland ministers have given as
KUrance that taey will greet their fl.cks
tomorrow with war savings sermons,
and it is estimated that the message
will be given locally to from J!0,000 to
30,000 people. Similar services will be
held everywhere in the state. Plenty
of war savings literature, replete with
pppeal and argument, has already been
forwarded to the parsons.

be held an open-air meeting for the
war stamps issue, with the community

on Friday next. The call for all work
ers to attend is urgent, as the instruc
tions to be given at that time are vital
to the success of the drive. President
Wilson's final message on the war sav
ings campaign will be read to the as
sembled loyalists. .
Citizens of substantial financial girth
will have their .opportunity to go the
limit on the day of the drive, when
11 will be asked to join the "Limit
Club." The club is a handy contriv
ance to do away with the inconven
ience of the flying squadron maneuvers
employed in other campaigns, and to
insure the maximum from those who
can afford to invest it.
lSOO "Limit Cards" Ready.
Fifteen hundred personal pledge
cards, each drawn for a heavy tax
payer, have been issued. They call for
membership in the "limit club" upon
the payment of $834, this month's fig
ure for a $1000 war savings stamp cer
tificate which is the limit for Individ
ual investors. Joining the club means
lessening the possibility of failure, and
Portland men of means are looked to
for a response in keeping with the
cause.
Today at Oregon City the citizens
and war savings workers of Clackamas
County will hold a county convention
for the discussion of the day of the
drive and the elimination of all prob
lems that stand in the path of certain
and' spontaneous victory.
All details are arranged, or will be
within a few days, and Oregon stands
ready to redeem the state's full quota
of war stamps in the single day al
lotted.

CITY FILES ANSWER
Fish Market Held Imperative
as War Institution.
DEALERS' COMBINE CHARGE
Document Alleges That High Prices
In Retail Markets Is Due to
Wasteful Methods Employed
to Limit Supply.
That the continuance of the Munici
pal fish market is imperative as a war
emergency institution and that its dis
continuance would hinder the successful
prosecution of the war is the chief plea
set up by the city of Portland in an an
swer filed yesterday in the Circuit
Court in defense of the injunction suit
instituted by the retail fish dealers of
the city.
The court file, prepared by City At
torney LaRoche, Deputy City Attorney
Tomlinson and Martin L. Pipes, special
counsel, goes thoroughly into the meat
and fish supply problem as It affects
Portland, and endeavors to show that
t is absolutely essential that the city of
Portland be permitted to operate a mu
nicipal market in order that the people
of this city may be supplied with sea
products at normal cost.
The answer sets up the assertion that
the high prices prevailing in the retail
fish markets is due to the wasteful
methods employed by fish dealers,
which is done, it is alleged, for the pur
pose of limiting the supply of fish and
keeping the prices high.
Dealers Combine Charged.
"Owing to conditions brought about
by a state of war, various kinds of food
supplies and necessaries of life have
risen to such an extent as to be almost
prohibitive under conditions now exist
ing. The food supply of America Is re
lied upon to feed not only the people of
the United States, including its military
forces at home and abroad, but. In a
large measure, the fighting forces and
civil population of the nations allied
with the United States in war. In order
to carry on the war and to avert want,
suffering and industrial disorder at
home, it is necessary to conserve the
articles most needed for the successful
prosecution of the war, including beef,
mutton and pork, which articles are
demanded for the Army and Navy and
other public use connected with the
common defense." .
The answer goes on to state that de
spite the fact that the waters of the
Pacific Ocean abound with fish, the
people of Portland have been unable to
procure such sea rood at reasonable
prices through the ordinary channels
of retail markets.
Injunction Is Opposed.
"Without the aid of the municipal
government it is impossible for the peo
ple oi roruana to procure such sea
foods either in adequate quantities or
. reasonable prices, reads the answer.

"The furnishing of such supply of
necessary food at prices available to the
masses and the promulgation of infor
mation concerning such food is & pub
lic purpose."
The city of Portland further charges
as an affirmative answer, that the re
tail fish dealeu of the city are in a
combine to limit the supply of sea foods
and maintain high prices.
"Without such combination among
dealers, sea foods in Portland ought to
be and would be cheap," it is asserted,
"because of the abundance and availa
bility of the supply."
The court document filed in behalf
of the city yesterday marks another
step toward the final determination of
the suit instituted by a score of retail
fish dealers who are seeking to deal a
death blow to the municipal fish mar
ket on the ground that its operation is
unconstitutional. The fish dealers are
seeking a permanent injunction re
straining the city from conducting the
market.
