THIRD OREGON IS FAVORED
Executive Says Picketing or Intimi
dation in Strikes Will 'ot Be
Tolerated. In Oregon.
SALEM. Or.. Nov. 20. (Special.)
The fact that removal of Federal
troops from Oregon will leave the atate
practically helpless as to internal dis
orders which might arise; the nec
essity for some co-ordinated force over
which, the chief executive has direct
control to quell such disorders, and the
fart that with Federal aid it is the
cheaper and more economical form of
guard protection than that accorded by
the Home Guard, are given as reasons
by Governor Withycombe why he be
lieves that the organization! the new
National Guard should be continued
uninterruptedly.
Trouble is liable to come internally
in this or any other state, and a state
should be protected against such event
uality." said Governor Withycombe, in
assigning his reasons for his belief
in the organisation of the new National
Guard.
National Guard Favarrd.
"We have three military organiza
tions in Oregon, the military police
being the only one directly under the
control of the state. The Home Guards
are under the Sheriffs, and with them
there is no co-ordination or no central
ised authority as a state organization.
The removal of Federal troops from
the state will leave it practically help
less as far as protection is concerned
in a military sense.
"My plan Is to follow the Federal
suggestion and to organize one regi
ment to be known as the Third Oregon,
a name rich in tradition in this state.
I would like to see the name of that
regiment perpetuated, as we are all
proud of its record. I would suggest
that an engineer's corps be incorpo
rated within this regimer...
"Such an organization will be a re
liance In case of any trouble, and
cheaper for the state as a whole, as
the Government will equip them, pro
viding allowances for uniforms, guns,
etc. While the state might have to
pay for this equipment at first, it will
be reimbursed for the expenditure by
the Federal Government.
Fair Treatment la Aim. '
"The Home Guard expense falls upon
the counties, which is upon the tax
payers, and consequently the state
actually escapes no expense for that
reason.
"I wish to make my position clear
on one thing that as long as I am
Governor there will be no picketing or
intimidation and all strikes must be
settled in an orderly way. Any man
must not be molested who wants to
work, and no riots or intimidation will
be permitted. I hope the Legislature
may be able to evolve some plan pro
viding that all industrial disputes be
referred to some competent board of
conciliation and arbitration for adjust
ment. "I am not unfriendly to labor., but
there are certain proprieties which
must be observed. While that is aside,
it helps explain my attitude toward
the necessity for some strong military
organization for protection against the
possibilities which I do not expect to
arise, but which may come at any time.
"The cost of the new National Guard,
so far. has been very nominal in fact,
virtually nothing, you might say. The
headquarters and officials connected
with it would have had to be main
tained whether there had been a guard
or not because of work for the Gov
ernment in connection with the select
ive service act and other Federal de
mands." I
w Guard Kipeiae Light.
The Governor's estimate of the cost
of the new guird so far Is borne out
by the records in the Secretary of
State's office, which show that aside
from the charges for the headquarters,
which would have been maintained be
cause of Federal demands regardless
of the creation of the new National
Guard, that the guard itself since its
inception has probably cost no more
than $1000.
This, of course. Is exclusive of ex
penses for the military police, and is
eliminating a charge of something over
12300 for an officers' school. This
school was attended by officers in the
Home Guard units, as well as In the
National Guard, and it is Impossible to
segregate the expense credited against
the respective organizations.
The total estimated expense for
maintenance of the military department
during the next biennial is placed at
$334,000. This includes $76,000 for the
military police and $4000 for instruc
tion in connection with high school and
university military training. Charging
these off as not being directly against
the National Guard, an estimated main
tenance appropriation of $154,000 la
left, or $1000 less than the appropria
tion made for the maintenance of the
guard by the last Legislature.
In addition the estimate asks for
$3000 for drainage system at Clacka
mas station mobilization camp. For
arms and eauiDment $45,000 is niked
In this connection it is mentioned in
the estimate that in time of war emer
Igencles it is practically Impossible to
depend upon the Federal (jovernmeni
for arms and equipment. The Govern
ment provides for the reimbursement
for these, and with the war emergency
probably past, this item will also un
doubtedly be checked off. Already
there are 3000 rifles in the state for
guard Dumoses.
An additional sum of $2000 is asked
for renovation of armories, $5000 as a
contingent fund for the Adjutant-Gen
eral and $10,000 for emergency aid to
civil authorities. How far these items
will get in the Legislature is, of course,
problematical. However, additional ap
propriations estimated above the main
tenance charges for the next biennium
are not greatly above those appropri
ated, aside from maintenance two years
ago.
With what will be cut off from the
estimates by the .Legislature it is ap
parent the proposed military expenses
for the new guard will be virtually on
a par with those for the biennium Just
closing.
GCARD WILJj OCCUPY ARMORY
Plans for Housing Local Organiza
tion Perfected at Conference.
Definite arrangements for the dual
occupation of the Armory by the Mult
nomah Guard and the Oregon National
Guard, with provisions for the housing
of certain companies of the formet
regiment in the Atkinson School, were
perfected yesterday. Adjutant-General
Beebe. member of the conference com
mittee, said that all possibility of fu
ture friction had been removed.
Colonel Campbell, commanding the
Multnomah Guard, consulted with R. H.
Thomas, school clerk, yesterday after
noon relative to repairs and alterations
needed in the Atkinson School before
It Is occupied by the designated com
panies of the home defense regiment.
The school structure, but one block
distant from the Armory, will at once
be electrically lighted and repaired by
workmen of the school district, with
material expenses defrayed by the $1000
fund appropriated by Governor v ltnry
combe for that purpose.
Both the Multnomah Guard and the
new Oregon National yuard will have
neaaquaners in mc flniwi?. f iciwhi
Danles of Multnomah Guard infantry,
A. D. E. G and H. with the transport
company and hospital corps, will be
quartered in the Atkinson School,
which is to be ready' for occupation by
the first of next week. Companies is.
and C. the machine-gun detachment,
the supply company, headquarters com
pany and Multnomah Guard Band are
to remain at quarters in the Armory.
Some alterations in the Armory will
be necessary, said Adjutant-General
Beebe, for the housing of both organ
izations. These will be made without
delay.
NO LIMITATIONS ON SHOES
RESTRICTIONS ON PRICES AND
STYLES TO BE REMOVED.
Plan of Control Worked Out by War
Industries Board Aban
doned Since Peace.
Shoe retailers would have sold their
wares on a Government-approved basis
if the armistice had not been signed, ac
cording to the State Council of Defense
for Oregon.
A telegram received yesterday from
John S. Gravens, of the National Coun
cil of Defense canceled preceding in
structions which were Just about to
have been sent out to Oregon shoe re
tailers. The change was made because
of the request of the War Industries
Board -which Informed the council that
the shoe programme was, by agreement
with the trade, limited to the period of I
direct war requirements. At the sign
ing of- the armistice representatives of
the trade recommended that price limi
tations be dropped with the general
conservation programme.
This insures "milady" of having
leather boots in as many colors as she
chooses to buy during the coming sea
sons. Many thoe styles, colors and
leathers had voluntarily been omitted
from the Spring buying programme as
one of the ways in which the merchants
could do their "bit."
The programme worked out by the
Government included a plan in which
all shoes would be grouped in four
classes to be retailed at prices as
signed with the approval of the War
Industries Board. Fledge cards were to
have been distributed among dealers to
be placed in show windows to inform
the public which stores were on a Gov
ernment basis.
