While no definite statement could be
obtained from either representatives
of metal trades or carpenters as to
specific proposals under consideration,
the outlook was reported hopeful.
Manager M. R. Ward, of the Grays
Harbor Motorship Corporation, said the
yards here are operating under the
understanding that they are not af
fected by the recent Emergency Fleet
contract cancellation order as long as
they are not forced to shut down. This
is taken to mean that if the yards
should be forced to suspend because of
s
cipation by the wood workers in the
strike, the cancellation order would
become operative. Every effort is be
ing made by the companies to avert
such a crisis.

The conference committees of the

WASHrNOTON. Jan. 27 J.
Armour, president of Armour
told the Senate agriculture committee
tonight at the conclusion of his tes
timony that he and his counsel were
drafting legislation for the regulation
of the meat-packing Industry, which
he expected to submit as a substitute
for similar bills now before Congress.
Before being presented, this legisla
tion will be submitted to tho other big
packing firms and the independents for
their approval, Mr. Armour said. Ho
added that he believed the plan which
he had in mind would satisfy producer
and consumer and remove "antagonism
to the packers," which, he admitted,
seemed general.
Car Control Rapped.
Mr. Armour reiterated that his oppo
sition to control by the Government or
by the railroads of refrigerator and
livestock cars and stockyards was
predicated solely on his fear that they
could not be operated as efficiently
as now. He said he believed private
ownership of branch houses absolutely
necessary, but declared Government
operated branch houses for the small
packers would not be opposed by the
large companies.
While Mr. Armour was finishing his
testimony before the Senate committee
Edward S. Morris, of Chicago, presi
dent of Morris & Co., appeared before
the House interstate commerce commit
tee in opposition to the pending leg
islation, which, he declared, would im
peril the Industry and prove costly to
the consumer. Mr. Morris had a pre
pared statement of 134 pages, but at
the suggestion of the committee he
read only part of it. The entire state
ment, however, was admitted to the
record of the hearing.
Prompt Payment Ankrd.
Mr. Morris told the committee he had
no objection to Government ownership
of the meat Industry provided his com
pany was reimbursed immediately for
its property and investments. He said
he would object, however. If payment
was postponed, as "the industry would
soon be in such a chaotic condition that
a proper settlement would be Impos
sible. "Unless Congress wants to have an
other industry in the situation where
the railroads are now," the witness
said. "It should leave the meat industry
alone. Oovernment regulation might
causo the ultimate ruin of the In
dustry, as well as resulting in a great
increase in the cost of living."
Mr. Morris declared that there was no
monopoly of the meat Industry. Re
plying to the statement of the Federal
Trade Commission that there was col
lusion among the five big packing
firms in buying and selling Mr. Morris
said the best proof that no combination
existed was in the fact that prices of
livestock had more than doubled in four
years.
Price Plot Imrur-.l.
The witness charged that the pur
pose or the market committee of the
National Livestock Association, which
he said was behind the investigation of
the Federal Trade Commission, was to
obtain higher prices for livestock.
which would mean higher costs to the
consumer. He suggested that It might
be advisable for Congress to investi
gate the uses to which the committee
had put the fund of $150,000, which
he said it received annually from the
association. He asserted that he did
not mean to intimate the fund was put
to any "improper purpose," but said
"its size would make it rather danger
ous If It should happen to get Into the
improper channel."
Profits of Morris Company for the
fiscal year ending November 3. 1918.
were only 7.24 per cent on the
capital invested, Mr. Morris said,
profit, he asserted, was only a
more than one-half of what the
Administration approved.
Questioned by Representative Wins
low of Massachusetts regarding the
relative profits of producers and pack
ers, Mr. Morris tald he believed that If
the Investigation conducted by the Fed
eral Trade Commission had covered all
branches of the meat industry, instead
of having been concentrated on the five
big packing firms. It would have re
vealed that the producers' profits were
much the higher proportionately.

Bill Especially Designed for School
Superintendent's Benefit Passes
Before People Know It.
THE DALLES. Jan. 27. (Special.)
A rapid-fire fight is being made over
the bill introduced In the Legislature
to tncrease the salary of the County
School Superintendent of thia county.
Tho first known of the measure here
was when It passed the House. The
County Court Immediately undertook
to head it off by the circulation of
remonstrances. In the meantime. Sen
ator J. R. Nickelscn, of this district,
was asked to defer action on the meas
ure In the Senate.
Yesterday, local residents read in The
Oregonian that th-i bill had passed the
Senate and awaited only the signature
of the Oovernor before becoming a law.
Not anticipating such action, the Coun
ty Court here has framed a bill which
would give the County Court the right
to fix the salaries of county officials
and to appoint their deputies. This
bill 'names the present salaries of local
officeholders as a minimum and gives
the court the right to Increase them at
any annual session, or to subsequently
reduce them to any figure not below
the fixed minimum. If they see fit.
County Judge Adklsson says he will
call a mass meeting of all civic organ
izations and taxpayers of the county to
discuss the new bill before its sub
mission to the Legislature.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 27. To make It
possible to offer every officer who has
served in the war a reserve commission
in the grade for which he haa been
found qualified. Secretary Baker said
he would ask Congress for legislation
amending the existing law limiting
rank in the reserve corps.
Since the armistice, he explained,
there had been a surplus 6f officers In
ovt-ry grade.
"Th matter may briefly be summed
up as follows." the letter says. "Demo
bilization of the Army makes It Impossi
ble to employ any additional officers for
active duty, but on the contrary, neces
sitates the discharge of many already
In service. For officers not on active
duty, but held in reserve, the need will

Department, therefore, has discontinued
the appointment of officers for active

Mr. Ralph Graham
Tells How Cuticura
Healed Pimples
"My trouble began with pimples
on my face. They would start with
a red spot ana come to s
head, and they were soft.
They were scattered ail
over toy lace and itched
so that I Irritated them
by scratching. My (ace
was disfigured while the
pimples lasted.
"I tried many remedies but had
no success, and I was troubled with
the pimples for about (our years.
Then I used Cuticura Soap and Oint
ment. I found relief and when I had
used two cakes of Cdtlcura Soap and
two boxes of Cuticurs Ointment I
was healed." (Signed) Ralph Gra
ham. Post FaUs. Idaho. June 1.1918.
