l'oung Men at Front Are
100 Per Cent American.
SALEM. Or.. Sept. 17. (Special.) At
an address delivered to hundreds of re
cently registered men from over Marion I
County at the Salem Armory tonight. I
Governor Withycombe hurled hot shot!
at tw bollermakers in Portland ship
yards who have demanded a continu
ance of their Saturday half holidays to I
obtain a 44-hour week.
"One hundred per cent Americanism I
has been shown by the people of Ore-
ton," declared the Governor. "Oregon
people have made a splendid record;
they have supported the President as a
state in all war activities, and while
they have been doing; this our boys at I
tne rront nave been making a glorious I
record, of which every Oregonlan may I
oe proud.
Minority' Demands Decried.
Tet there is a sentiment amonr a I
few to try to reduce their hours efl
labor in vital war work to 44 hours a I
week. I declare that this is almost I
criminal. Instead of these men being I
100 per cent American, they are not 1
per cent American. Oregon has sent I
20.000 of the flower of her young man
hood to the war-torn fields of Francs
and these young men are 100 per cent
American, giving their lives in the in
terest of democracy and in the cause
of truth and justice and are doing it
with no limitation on .their hours and I
for $30 a month.
"Yet some men are trying to block
the progress of the war in an effort to
get a 44-hour week while they are liv
ing on the fat of the land at a wage
of from $5 to $10 a day, not duplicated I
in the history of the Nation a labor. 1 1
reiterate that they are not entitled to I
be called 1 per cent Americans while
the boys are fighting and giving their I
life-blood at $30 a month.
Time Limit Plea I'npatrlotle.
"I do not mean to cast aspersions I
on organized labor by this statement,
but I do refer to the little bunch that
is asking for the 44-hour week. There!
is no place for the man who wishes I
to place a time limit on his efforts to I
win this war. The only time limit I
should be the limit of a man's physical
enduranace.
The meeting was called to Impart I
information of interest and value to I
the men coming under the new regis
tration act, and talks also were made I
by Captain J. Frederic Thorne, Captain I
R- I Russell. F. G. Doeckebacb. Rollin
X. Page anda the Rev. A. J. Russell, I
Presbyterian pastor of Portland.
CHAIRMAN MAC? IS FIRM
Federal Official Says Disregard of
Decision 'ot to Be Tolerated.
Chairman Macy, of the Macy Wage I
Adjustment Board, has telegraphed to I
Richard Montague, Federal examiner I
here, to inform the Boilermakers'
Union that the Government will not I
tolerate a disregard of the decision of I
the board.
Another development In the situation
as regards the declination of the men
to work Saturday afternoons is the
action of the Boilermakers' Union at
Vancouver, Wash., In resolving to work
Saturday afternoons regardless of what
the membership of the Portland organi
sation decides.
The Team, Auto and Delivery Drivers' I
Union No. 162 has adopted resolutions I
condemning the move of the boiler-
makers as "ill-advised, unpatriotic and
a breach of faith.
Last week the Operative Plasterers'
and Cement Finishers' Union adopted!
resolutions tn favor of a full day Satur
day.
Chairman Macys telegram to Mr. I
aiontague Is as follows:
"The board wishes you to notlfr the
boilermakers that their action in re-l
fusing to work Saturday afternoons is I
a direct violation of the decision. After!
creating machinery for dealing fairly I
with wage-earners the Government!
will not tolerate in this crisis a disre
gard of the decision of duly .constituted
boards on which labor is re presented."
Local 572. the Vancouver Boiler
makers' Union, unanimously voted for!
tne adoption of a resolution to work I
Saturday afternoons and to exert their I
influence to induce the Portland boiler-
makers to do likewise. The organiza
tion has a membership of about 300 1
and a majority are employed In the I
plant of the G. M. Standifer Construc
tion Corporation.
MAYOR ISSUES WARNING
Theaters and Restaurants Ordered
to End Ban on Filipinos.
Mayor Baker yesterday notified the
ater owners and some restaurant men
that discriminations shown against
Filipino boys in military service must
end. The action was taken because of
complaints received during the last
two weeks.
The last complaint was filed brL C
Ompoc, representative of the Filipino
bovs in Portland. Mr. Omooc com
plains that some Filipino boys were
ejected from one of the theaters, on the
ground that men of color were not per
mitted to enter the theater.
One restaurant owner refused to I
serve a Filipino soldier. It was charged.

DRAFTING OF SHimORKF.RS IS

Deferred Claaslflcatioa to Builders of
Vessels as a Class Opposed
Official Views Exchanged.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 17. Retention
by the American shipyards of such em
ployes as are considered essential to
the production of ships, replacement
of those who will be taken in the. new
draft and provision for obtaining 190,
000 additional workers, now needed by
the Emergency Fleet Corporation, were
the subjects of a conference today be
tween Chairman Hurley, of the Ship
ping Board; Director-General Schwab,
of the Emergency Fleet Corporation,
and Provost Marshal-General Crowder.
No decision was reached today, and
further conferences will be held.
Shipping board officials are under
stood to take the view that the needs
of the shipyards and the merchant
marine are at present entitled to right
of way over the needs of the Army, as
without continuation of the construc
tion programme and without uninter
rupted operation of the existing ves
sels, even the army now abroad can
not be supplied.
The viewa of the War Department
are believed to differ in some measure,
.though admitting that the construction
and manning of merchant vessels is
necessary to the operation of the Army.
Exemption to shipbuilders as a class,
it was said, is not desired, as such ac
tion probably would cause many men
to evade the draft by flocking to the
shipyards.

Extra Pay for Coos Shipyard Men

MARSHFIELDi Or., Sept. 17. (Spe

wrights' Union, arrived last night and
today were in conference with the

of the Kruse & Banks yard at North
Bend, and A. E. Adelsperger, of the
Coos Bay yard at Marshfield.

mately 112,000 is due the employes in
back wages and $8000 from the local
yard. No trouble is anticipated by the

ers to agree to the payment.

IF YOUR EARS RING
WITH HEAD NOISES
If you have roaring, buzzing
noises in your ears, are getting
hard of hearing and fear Catar
rhal Deafness, go to your drug
gist and get 1 ounce of Parmint
(double strength), and add to It
pint of hot water and a little
granulated sugar. Take 1 table
spoonful four times a day.
This will often bring quick
relief from the distressing head
noises. Clogged nostrils should
open, breathing become easy and
the mucus stop dropping into the
throat. It is easy to prepare,
costs little and Is pleasant to
take. Anyone who has Catarrhal
trouble of the ears, is hard of
hearing or has head noises
should give this prescription a
trial. Adv.
