SALARIES DEEMED TOO BIG President Tearney, of Three-I Or- fianlzation, Says Players Pay la . "Entirely Without Reason." PEORIA, 111., Nov. 13. Plana for re construction of the minor league base ball organizations were started at the annual meeting of the National Asso ciation of Professional Baseball Leagues here today. Committees were appointed to con sider the advisability of reclassifying all organizations and redisricting the territories. The movement was started by A. R. Tearney, of Chicago, president of the Three-I League, who declared the sala ries of some organizations were "en tirely without reason" and the geo graphical make-up of the leagues were too unwieldy to assure successful op eration. Committees considering the pro posals will report to the meeting to morrow. William O'Rourke, owner of the Omaha team of the Western League, announced he would pay $50,000 for an American Association franchise providing It could be transferred to Omaha. The franchise O'Rourke de sires, it is said, is now held by Louis ville. Several club owners of the American Association view with satis faction the proposal to include Omaha in the circuit. LAUNCHING J0 BE UNIQUE Port's New Towboat May Lcate the Ways Ready to Steam on Trip. Launching of the new sternwheel steamer Portland, to be the most pow erful of her type In the district, with all details of construction and equip ment ready for her to steam from the ecene of her origin, is a possibility. The vessel is being assembled at the Fulton plant of the Portland Shipbuild ing Company under a contract from the Port of Portland Commission. Already her boiler is in position. though none of the outer planking of her hull is in place. The walls of her lower house are up and as soon a the deck above can be canvased. so as to insure the hull remaining protected from the weather, the outer skin of the hull will go into place. Engines and auxiliary machinery are ready for Installation. The Portland is intended as a towboat for handling deepwater vessels between the porgt and Astoria and shifting them here from one berth to another.

After remaining stuck on the ways of the marine railway at the Aloore Ship building plant for nearly three weeks, the United States Shipping Board steamer Co conino has been eent back into the water and the damaged ways can now be repaired and put in shape to receive other vesaela. The Coconino i not ready for sea, how ever. The vessel got Jammed on the ways and the repairs could not be done. It will now be placed in one of the other docks and repairs will be runhed to completion. Kepairs on the boiler of the steamer Kineo will be rushed immediately and the vessel will then asain leave - for Honolulu without reloading t Wo present cargo. "A serious shortage exists 'In the number of young men now making application to receive a. nautical and engineering training for the sea In the free Government schools established here, at Berkeley and - other Coast places," said Captain Charles W.

The Matson Company operate all of the wooden ships of the Shipping Board out of this port and Barker said that so many of these vessels need the services of caulkers In or der to make them fit to go to sea that there are not enough of this class of me chanics on hand to do the work as fast as is desired. The Australian wooden vessels Coalchs and Bellata are now loading cargo here preparatory to sailing for the common wealth. The Coalcha is a motornhip and the Bellata Is a steamer.

WOOD SHIPBUILDING EXPECTED TO GO ON Foreign Governments and Pri vate Interests in Market. SITUATION UP TO SCHWAB Query Sent to Leara Whether Gov ernment "Will Continue Build ing of More Carriers. Wood shipbuilding- In Oregon will continue indefinitely if Emergency leet corporation officials at Phila delphla will advise shipbuilders wheth er tne Government Intends to avail it self of the opportunity to build more carriers after the present contracts ex pire ana. if not, whether orders may be accepted from allied governments ana private interests. Anticipating early peace, the Oreron Wood Shipbuilders' Association placed the situation squarely before Charles M. Schwab, director-general of the emergency Fleet Corooratlon. and Charles Plez, vice-president, in lengthy communications more than a week ago. Answers are looked for daily. Matters Polly Explained. The communication to Mr. Schwab was as follows: Dear Sir: On the occasion of th -vt.it nf yourself and Mr. Pies to Portland last July you advised ths wood shipbuilders to take up wnn air. ties the matter of further con tracts as their wavs became vrani Th uuauon in inn a nt net has become so serious mat we have felt It necessary to lay before you and Mr. Pies m. full itaiommi of conditions. We are. therefore, writine direct to Mr. Pies on the subject and en close herewith a copy of our letter to him. The letter to Mr. Plez follows: Dear Sir: The undersigned have been di rected Dy tneJregon Wood Shipbuilders' As- sociatfon to take up with you the matter of ine wooa snip progress of the Emergency i leet Corporation so far as it affects the Loiumoia itiver district, and to ask as eariy and as definite advice as may properly be Civen in regard to this programme. Additional Contracts Needed. As you know there is at present a sub stantial number of idle ways in this dis iijti. una unless additional contracts are awarded It is certain that within .."0 days many, yards will be compelled to discharge a large proportion of their employes, and will lose their organization which has been Duiit up in the past two years. You wil readily appreciate that this situation has created a sense of uncertainty which is rap idly growing into a feelini of lnnrrhonninn If it should be determined to let no more contracts for wooden vessels or even to ul. stantlally curtail production with no oppor tunny ior gradual adjustment, the rrault wouiu oe calamitous to this community htm: especially so berauso all of the builders have arranged their affairs In accordance with the understanding reached on the occ sion of the conference with yourself and Mr. i-enwao at tho time of your visit to Port land in July. The buildem have all relied upon the assurance that the yards In thi district would be kept busy and that as the ways became vacant new contracts would do awaraed. I'Ocal Distress Possible. we all appreciate, however, that notwifh standing your forecast and t hut of Schwab, and notwithstanding the assurances wnich were based on this forecast, it mt be possible that the demand for the produ or these yarns ha a decreased, and we also appreciate that the appropriation of the necessary funds must rest with Congress, and that the Fleet Corporation can do no more than recommend appropriations. Never theless a change of proKrautme and a cur tailment of production has such possibilities of local distress, and indeed of results which may be even more widespread that the build ers are sure that you will welcome the op portunity or atavism tnem aeiinueiy as to what they may expect. Prior to tho tune that the Fleet Cor poration undertook Its construction pro gramme In this district there was a large and increasing demand from foreign in terests for the construction of wooden ves sels. The necessities of our own Govern ment were such that the Shipping board promptly and properly restrained any con struction for foreign account, but this foreign demand still exists and has doubtless been Increased by the destruction of tonnage which has s'nce occurred. It Is probable, therefore, that If a curtailment of wood ahip production shall be decided upon by the Fleet Corporation the yards here can read iiy -secure orders from our allies for vessels In sufficient number to Insure the Industry against the consequences which must follow a shut-down, or a substantial reduction in output, I, amber Industry Involved. The shipbuilding Industry Is not alone affected by the present situation but It In volves in a very close and vital way the lumber manufacturing Industry, and a col lapse of the wood shipbuilding industry must necessarily result In the paralysis of the lumber Industry. It Is a conservative esti mate that three-fourths of the Industrial population of Oregon are engaged In wood shipbuilding and in the lumber Industry. Hence the situation is one of ths utmost gravity. We beg you, therefore, to advise us In the following particulars: 1. May the wood shipbuilders of this dis trict rely on the Fleet Corporation to award sufficient additional confracts to keep their yards occupied during the. year of lrt!9? 2. loes the Fleet Corporation contemplate a substantial curtailment of Its wood shlp buildng programme in this district? 3. If the builders In this district may not count on further contracts In sufficient num ber, may they not rely upon an imme diate recommendation from the officers of the Fleet Corporation to the Shipping Board that they be permitted to accept contracts for construction of vessels to take foreign flags? It may be thst full consideration hss already been given to our situation and ample proviaton hss been made to insure sufficient contracts for ths yards and that the present vacant ways do not signify a programme of curtailment, but that we may still proceed in accordance with our pre vious understanding. The builders are unan imous in a desire to serve the Government to their utmost and have implicit confi dence in your purpose to pursue a policy which will produce the beat results for all concerned and which at the same time will not impose any unnecessary individual hard ship.

Forelga latereets In Market. French, Italian and Greek interests nm id to be in the market for wood tonnage, seeking vessels of from 3000 to 4500 tons. Norwegians also are seek ing new fleets from Pacific coast builders, but at present restrictions are Imposed by the Fleet Corporation. Only vessels of 1300 tons ana unocr may oe constructed for allied countries and they must be sail or motor driven. The limitation is placed so as not to inter fere with the Government's programme with the larger ships, types being turned out on Federal account being 3500, 4000 and 4500 tons, deadweight. One view is that the Government can not risk throwing thousands ofmen out of work and bring about a financial depression by shutting down on ship construction now, when spruce proauc tion has been stopped and many men in that industry will be jobless. Another is that America is so decidedly short of tonnage to take her place among the leading mercantile marine fleets of the world that the Administration cannot afford to suspend maritime construc tion.

Nature tells us what to do and we pay no heed. Down deep In the Do ay or man lie streams of blood. Koingr everywhere and making- a complete circuit of the body every few seconds. In these riv ers, brooks and streamlets of blood flow millions of little soldiers called corpuscles, whose dnty It Is to heal hurts, expel the enemies of man germs from ths body and carry away Im purities. - Nature, with the blood, builds bone and hair and teeth and flesh. tShe does this so quickly and with such absolute perfection that if we put Into our mouths and stomachs the things the body needs, nature will distil her own chemicals and build up any torn-down portions. Catarrh Is a tearlnir down of mucous membranes. A mucous membrane is one of the wonders of science. It does the Important work of the body In some lines. When It becomes diseased, you aulckly have the alarm from nature. Catarrh. In most cases, first warns us from a condition of the nose and tnroat. These membranes cannot do their work. They become clogned. Impurities form and choke them. Decay starts, unpleas ant odors arise, gradually it spreads until the membrane Is almost worth less. Then we learn the fault Is with the blood.
