Discharge of Men at Willam
ette Plant Is Cause.
BOYCOTT IS THREATENED
Shipbuilders and Committee to
Meet This Morning for
Conference.
In retaliation for the discharge of
tnen from the plant of the Willamette
Iron & Steel Works, who left there at
noon Saturday In following orders of
the Metal Trades Council for a 44-hour
week, a general strike Is threatened
of all unions affiliated under the Metal
Trades Council and the Columbia River
Ulstrlct Maritime Council. If that is
not carried out there may follow a
boycott against plants using equipment
and material manufactured by the Will
amette Iron & Steel Works.
A committee from the Metal Trades
Council, numbering six delegates and
headed by Phillip Pollock, of the
plumbers' and pipefitters' union, called
yesterday on Joseph Reed, assistant
examiner for the Shipbuilding Labor
Adusiment Board In steel yards and
Arthur W. Jones, assistant examiner
in wood ship yards and stated the
eituation as viewed by the labor or
ganizations, resenting the action of the
Willamette's executives in ordering
discharged all who left the plant, the
number being placed at about 60 men.
Steps were taken to bring the matter
to the attention of shipbuilders, and it
was understood there would be a meet
ing this morning between them and
the committee.
Contract Cannot Be Filled.
"Based on the Macy wage agreement,
"we have taken contracts and promised
deliveries that cannot be made on a
44-hour week," said Bert C. Ball, pres
ident of the Willamette Iron & Steel
Works, last night. "Our men did not
want to stop work, and most of them
who did were 'sore' about it. We can
not fulfill our obligations to the Emer
gency Fleet Corporation unless we keep
going all hours we are allowed to
fork."
When asked regarding the boycott
feature that had sprung into the mat
ter, Mr. Ball said he did not understand
how that could be carried out without
delaying the Government ships, since
the Willamette was the only plant
building for yards generally and that
the boilers ordered could not be turned
The Willamette plant has contracts
for boilers to go ,in snips building
for the Northwest Steel Company and
the Albina Engine & Machine Works
.here, the force being actually engaged
In fittting out the Northwest's ships
and it is doing the same work, though
not furnishing boilers, for some of
the wood steamers launched at the
yards of the G. M. Standifer Construc
tion Corporation, while boilers are un
der order for delivery at Victoria,
Seattle, Tacoma, San Fancisco, Los
Angeles and Balboa.
Of a total of 2S0O men? It is said
SO were discharged on the day shift
as they walked from the yard Satur
day, when the Metal Trades Council
followed the Columbia River Maritime
Council in its order for Saturday aft
ernoons off,' cutting down from a 48
to a 44-hour week. Others let go,
declare the union representatives,
brought the total discharged to about
eixty.
Notification was given the union men
by Mr. Reed and Mr. Jones when the
44-hour week was announced that it
was in contravention to the Macy
agreement, and that has been the stand
of the employers.
Reinstatement Demand Expected.
If an attempt is made to involve all
yards in the strike it would reach
thousands of men, the total strength
claimed being 30,000, but if confined
only to plants handling equipment
turned out at the Willamette plant it
would reach about three, the North
west Steel Company, Albina Engine &
Machine Works and the G. W. Standifer
Construction Corporation.
Reinstatement of the discharged men
Is expected to be demanded as a means
of preventing immediate action by the
unions. The Willamette has been con
ducted on an open shop basis for years,
and a few months ago, when the Boiler
makers' Union first declared for a 44
hour week, a number of men were dis
charged on walking out and the man
agement maintained its attitude.
SATURDAY OVERTIME IS OFF
6nipbulldlngr TFago Adjustment
Board Issues Instrnctions.
One stralgbt-f rom-the-shoulder order
from the Shipbuilding Wage Adjust
ment Board as to the Saturday after
noon programme of shipbuilding unions
affiliated under the Columbia River
Maritime Council and the Metal Trades'
Council, is that, 6hould any of the men
'work the full day. no overtime is to
be paid.
The information came yesterday In
inc way vi & icicgrani irum tne neaa-
quarters of the board to Examiner Mc
Bride, at Seattle, wh,o telephoned the
text of the message to Arthur Jones,
assistant examiner here. The board has
not made any other move in the matter.
As the agreement with the men calls
for a 48-hour week, except during June,
July and August, while they have de
clared Independently for a 44-hour
week, the admonition of the board that
no overtime la to be paid, strikes yard

Uniformity In the general port sys-
m rP tariffs rVinnff-Vi nnt nanoucTrilir
uniform charges, are expected to be
. made effective shortly as a result of
. the San Francisco meeting last week
of a committee representing the Pacific
Coast Association of Port Authorities,
Portland's delegate to which, Frank I.
.Randan, assistant secretary ol the
Commission of Public Cocks, reached
home yesterday.
Mr. Randall says the session was
most Interesting and he is sanguine
It . will be productive. As regards a
feature that -transcontinental rail
roads were to absorb charges at all
ports on transcontinental freight, Mr.
Randall says the information given out
was that there would bo some absorp

said how much. It is expected that
the railroads will place all docks on
an equality, making a charge for
freight handled on their docks In line
-with the tariff on private and xnunlcl
pal docks.

PORT DEVELOPMENT TGPld
REMOVAL OF SWAN ISLAXD IS
SUGGESTED BY OFFICIAL).
Creation of 2 0,000 Feet of Sites for
Docks and Piers Ileld Necessary
to Attract -Big Cargoes Here.
W. p. LaRoche. City Attorney, held
the close attention of members of the
Chamber of Commerce at the luncheon
of the members' council yesterday,
speaking on "Reclamation of Adjacent
Shores and Removal of Swan Island."
Conveying an intimate knowledge of
the engineering features of the project,
he detailed the three possible methods
of solving the port necessity for a
turning basin for ships in the harbor.
Mr. LaRoche outlined- the coning sys
tem of rates, proposed by the United
States Railroad Administration, under
which goods for export and Import
should pass through the ports that
would afford economic advantages for
the movement. Viewing the certain
rapid growth of the Pacific commerce,
due to the increasing earning power of
Asiatic population and its known needs
for manufactured goods, he predicted
enormous shipping development, which
requires speedy preparation of Portland
port facilities in order' that the traffic
may be brought into the Columbia
River. Relationship of manufacturing
industries to port development was
touched upon.
The project was described as em
bracing the complete removal of Swan
Island, raising of adjacent shores
above danger from high water, and
the creation of a basin 4000feet wide
and 11.000 feet long. This length of
more than two miles would extend
from near the Portland Flouring Mills
site to Willbridge.
Another possible development is said
to be the removal of two-thirds of
the western part of tho island, filling
of the present channel on the east
side to create dock frontage, and leav
ing the basin 3000 feet wide, with a
straight course for the stream. Instead
of the present 45-degree curvature of
the channel.
"Our fate rests with ourselves," said
Mr. LaRoche, "and God helps those
who helps' themselves. Problems of
peace are Just as serious as those of
war. I have confidence in the ability
of our men of business to meet the
demands with the same patriotic spirit
they have manifested during the war.
Dredging of Swan Island and reclama
tion of the shores is the key to the
entire situation. It will create 20.000
feet of sites for docks, wharves, piers
and transit shedd on the east and west
shores, and will create a turning basin
which Is necessary for the bringing
of big cargo-carriers to this port."

Home - Mixed Cough Syrup.
Very Cheap, Very
Effective.
Mrs. Joseph Mellleur, 445 Jefferson
street. Tiffin, O, writes:
I have used the Mentho-Laxen for
colds. Must say I find It better than
any cough syrup I have ever used yet.
I coughed night and day for a week.
After I got the Mentho-Laxene to use
the coughing stopped in three days,
etc."
Just buy a 2 H -ounce bottle of Mentho-Laxene
(it Is richly concentrated)
and mix It with simple syrup, as pw
directions with bottle, and then ydu
will have a whole pint of the finest,
quickest cold, coufih and catarrh medi
cine you ever used, and no opiates or
narcotics, either. Hundreds of thou
sands of people now make their own
medicine to avoid expense and uncer
tainty. Adv. "
