THE MORNING OEEGOXIAX, THTJESDAT, " FEBRUARY 6, 1919 13 STRIKERS ASK HELP OF. PORTLAND LABOR Action Awaits Meeting of Met al Trades Council. iL.llllil& liflljiiw rilii! IB I.11HJ ; Kia :.': SR: s "WALKOUT HELD UNLIKELY fcig Increase In Movement of Car goes Here Expected as Outcome of Seattle Situation, Seattle labor bodies have a?ked the Support of 'their brethren in Portland in connection with a general strike to be be held in Seattle at 10 o'clock this rnorningr. It is said the matter of join ing in the movement is under consid eration, and probably will be for 10 days at least. The annual convention rt the Pacific Coast District, Metal Trades Council, opens In Portland Feb ruary 17. and it is to be attended by delegates from all metal trades coun cils in the district. Action to support the Seattle strike must be put up to the membership of each, union for a vote. What action the convention may take bearing on the trouble on Puget Sound is expected to be Important, as it will be effective throughout the district, but the likelihood of Portland organ izations joining In the strike immedi ately is not viewed as certain by con servative union men. Portland Council Meet Tonight. The Portland Metal Trades Council meets in regular weekly session to night at its headquarters, Second street, between Washington and Alder .-treets. The Seattle situation may be reviewed, but it has not been indicated the council will take action. Messages passing between the councils of the two cities, however, may develop some thing unexpected. H. W. Shaw, secretary of the Pacific Coast District Metal Trades Council, says messages have been sent to coun cils at all Coast cities advising them of representation at the annual conven tion, but that no telegrams have been tlispatched in which Portland bodies took the initiative In asking if the sup port of unions here Was desired in the Seattle strike, as had been reported. Cargoes Here May Increase. The impression prevails that union men of Portland are not inclined to rast their lot with their Seattle broth er?, unless a coastwise sympathetic strike is agreed on. As the last sched ule decided in the Macy agreement ex sircs March 31, there is a disposition to endeavor to obtain more favorable con ditions under the new schedule, which should be effective April 1. The Seattle trouble, it is expected, will increase the movement of cargo from Portland and other ports. Port land shipping interests are prepared to take care of whatever new business is offered in the way of handling vessels, ps it is believed a prolongation of the Seattle difficulty, so long as it is con fined to that region, will result in a demand for shipping facilities here.

The photoplay Is an adaptation of the succesful W. Somerset Maugham play. "Lady Frederick." The play was clever and the ecreen visualization has been handled wonderfully welL It runs smoothly, carries suspense, has heart interest and is deliciously witty and full of fire. The leading figure is a divorcee who s so superior to those who condemn her that she realizes it herself and in turn looks down upon them with con temptuous amusement. She is so clev er, so brilliant and so full of real no bility of character that she easily tri umphs over them and compels them to finally accept her. The best part of it all is that the lady is really clever and n truth makes clever speeches from the captions, instead of forcing the spectator to take it for granted, as i3 the case in so many productions. Ono of the most amusing details in the 6tory shows Miss Barrymore trying: to discourage a youthful suitor by in- tiating him into the secrets of her makeup, and thus impressing upon him the difference in their aces.

VICTORY COLORS IN LEAD threatened by strike leaders, due to the general walkout scheduled for 10 A- M. tomorrow, or saved from such situation through failure of labor organizations to reach an agreement at the Central Labor Council meeting m progress tonight. Two Labor Factions Developed. Two labor factions have developed one claiming that the majority of electrical workers to make exemptions for hospitals, where lack of light might result in death. I'nion Agent Is Russian. "No exemptions," was the reply of Leon Green, business agent for the union. A few hours later Mayor Hanson called attention to the fact that Green s a recent arrival in Seattle, that he is a native of Russia and that he is not a citizen of the United States. Tet, the Mayor pointed out. this man at tempts to place the hospitals and their patients at his mercy. The prompt action taken by the city authorities to operate the light plant caused a reconsideration by the union late tonight, and city light workers were exempted. In similar manner the strike leaders have arrogantly refused to grant ex emptions to workers in other trades whose continued activity might be nec essary to preserve life and health, such as milk wagon drivers, cooks and res taurant workers. Tho strike committee, which pro claims that it will "administer all de tails, great and small, with equal con sideration, has undertaken to estab lish milk supply depots, at various places over the city where mothers who actually must have milk for their babies can go and get it; they also have ar ranged, they say, to operate a laundry for the accommodation of the hospitals. At first the strike committee Intend ed to call the city firemen, who are strongly unionized, out with the oth ers, but they have condescended to per mit the firemen to remain on duty, as the committee declares it has "thor oughly considered the general public welfare relative to fire protection. Martial Law Recalled. To read some of the strike proclama tions issued by this committee, com prising delegates from some of the principal unions in town, a stranger might think that he was in some of the occupied territory along- the Rhine where General loch has found it neces sary to remind the German people of their duties. "Persons ha-ing no urgent business to attend to on the streets after 8 o'clock in the evening should remain at home," reads one such manifesto, signed by the strike committee and printed in the morning papers. Imagine some of the pioneer resi dents of Seattle who always have obeyed the law and attended to their own business reading that at their breakfast tables! It doesn't eet very well with them. They are not saying much, but they are growing more hos tile every day. Mayor Makes Quiet Announcement. Then the committee has undertaken, too, to enforce "law and order," pro claiming its intention to "do its own policing on behalf of organized labor.' But "the seat of government still is at the city hall." says Mayor Hanson in a reply issued today, and meanwhile Joe Warren, chief of police, is arrang ing to have plenty of reserves on hand in case of serious trouble. The Seattle public is taking the situ ation good-naturedly, philosophically. But tne Seattle public is a forehanded public. People are laying in stocks of groceries sufficient to last them through several weeks of a possible paralysis or industry. The threat to close down the electric plants caused department stores qutcKiy to display old-fashioned lanterns and oil lamps In their win dows. They did a rushing business The hotels have laid in thousands of candles. There has been a mad rush for the more modern flashlight, too. Gasoline May Be Cut Off. People who are depending upon their own automobiles for transportation may bo doomed to disappointment unless they have a plentiful private supply of gasoline. The big oil com panies have announced that if the strike is called they will attempt to maintain service between their central supply depots and their filling stations, but that if their wagons or their driv ers are molested, they will discontinue service entirely. This also will shut off many hotels, stores and apartment houses that burn oil for fuel. The strike committee has thrown one crumo of comfort to the Seattle pub lic, though. No one need go hungry, they say. They have arranged to es tablish a series of soup kitchens all over town where the people will be fed. They have laid in generous supplies of beans, potatoes, meat and provisions and will serve all comers. Union mem bers will be fed for 25 cents a meal while plain citizens must pay 35 cents. Schools to Stay Open. The school authorities have declared their intention to open schools and to continue them open as long as it is physically possible to do so. Most of the employes of the City Hall are unionized and have been asked to join in the strike. The municipal authorities have declared, however, that any one who quits his or her job tomorrow will be removed from the civil service list for insubordination and cannot be reinstated. This may check a general walkout at the City County building. Through all the fuss and turmoil in preparation for the big general strike, people seem to have forgotten entirely the issue underlying it the demands of the shipyard workers for more money. The shipyard workers were dissatis fied with the Macy award, under which common laborers could be paid no more than 94-64 a day. The public is generally agreed that common laborers should have- more money than this, but they positively cannot see the necessity of crippling every Industry in the city to accom plish that end. I TEnMS OK MACY COMMISSIOX AWARD SET FORTH. SEATTLE, Wash.. Feb. 6. ' (Special.) The general strike called for tomorrow is the out come of a protest by the metal trades workers In Seattle ship yards last August against the Macy award. The Macy Commission awarded $4.16 per day for common labor ers, $4.64 for helpers and 85 to 00 cents per hour for mechanics. A demand was made for a flat rate of $6 for laborers, $7 for helpers and $8 for mechanics. Mechan ics, union officials say, were making more than $8 per day, as most of their work was done by contract. All over $8 per day the mechanics were willing to sacrifice, they say, in order to improve conditions for laborers and helpers. The demand was rejected by shipyard owners. In November a strike vote was taken. January 21 "the shipyard men went out. January 22 the labor council, at which all of the 130 Seattle unions were repre sented, decided to ask all unions to go out in sympathy. This was submitted to a referendum vote of the members of the various unions. against a walkout have openly stated that as individuals they will Join the strikers, and it is Just as generally stated that should any union or any trade not go out efforts will be made by the strikers to persuade them to do so. Just how far this persuasion will go rests in a large measure the extent of the demonstration tomorrow In its effect on the city's industrial and com mercial life. Bolshevik leaflet Circulate. 'Russia did It," is the heading of a eaflet given wide distribution through out Tacoma today. The leaflet urges the shipyard workers to seize the ship yards and build the ships themselves. Preparations for supplying milk at emergency stations for the use of ba bies and hospitals in case the proposed strike cuts off the supply are being made by a sub-committee of the strike committee. Plans for opening a group of stores are also being perfected. Average Woman Should Have Four Hats a Year and Well-Dressed Woman 1 8 to 2 0. "Well. I suppose you want to know something about the styles," said Ora Cne. The reporter supposed so, too, but as he was a mere man and was doubtful whether taupe was something about an aeroplane and henna well, he Just didn't know; he felt his limitations. And as he had just struggled his way into a room literally packed with feminine millinery buyers from all over Oregon, Washington and Cali fornia, who had come to Portland to hear Mr. Cne discuss the modes in the millinery showrooms of Lowengart & Co., he was also embarrassed. For Mr. Cne was the one piece of masculinity dominating the scene. . A score or so of dainty, pretty girls followed one another to the platform as Mr. Cne described this hat and that hat, the cathedral panel hat and the crush mob hat, the silhouette hat and the victory hat, and soon there was nothing but a haze of lovely girls wear ing one wonderful millinery creation after another. Henna Is Leading- Color. But soon the crowd faded away and there was left only Mr. Cne (pronounce it "see-nay, please) and the newspaperman. Mr. Cne was a symphony In taupe oh, yes, it's a color. HI hat, his socks, his shirt, his collar, his shoes, his gloves, his tie, and all that was his, wer eone slightly varying shade after another, all blending into one taupe whole. Mr. Cne does not sell mil linery. He. designs it, but the designs even can't be sold. They are only photographed. He tells women what they ought to wear and how to wear it and advises millinery manufac turers and buyers how to make what the American woman wants. "First of all," he said, "henna will be the leading color. And it won't be as It has been In years past that every woman win say: 'My dear, I like it. but I in afraid of it.' "It has grown and grown and will continue to grow all Summer. It is the first good color that Is good for the blonde and the brunette, the gray-haired woman and the ash-colored hair girl. Victory Blends In Style- 'Then there is a victory color of cherry red and navy blue much ad mired by women patriotically inclined and there are always some women who desire to demonstrate their patri otism. Incidentally it was learned that French names for colors are distinctly outre, gone, vanished. The American name is the world-wide one. In Eng land there used to be Copenhagen blue, in France, Alsace: in American, delft, but the new American name of "Jay" is universal. As to hats? Well, there are four dls tinct forms: "First, the mid-Victorian styles, pokes, you know. Then hats that turn" back from the face, known as Jean d'Arc's or Gendarmes. Next a medium-sized hat on raised bandeau fill ing with flowers and foliage at the back, known as a Watteau. Then there is an extremely larrce transparent hat which has Georgette crepe, is Invaria bly made in two or three colors, one over-lying the other, with applloued motifs or designs on brims that throw Fhadows on tho face or silhouette the face. Four Hats About Right. "It is very effective and charming to many women. It might almost be called elusive. The conversation was getting deep and intricate. Now for some facts. "How many hats should a woman have?" was asked. "The average woman should have at least four hats a year. The well dressed woman will need, of course 16 to 20. That ought to carry her through nicely." The reporter gasped. And what would they r cost? "Well." said the milliner-man, "be fore the war tho average cost of i woman's hat was $6.26, now it is $10.13." "So, the ordinary woman ought to have $40 worth of hats and the wcll- dresced woman $200 or so invested in headgear every year?" "Yes. that would, carry her through nicely." The era of femininity Is here. Gone are somber uniforms. Women Intend onco more, to be frilly and fluffy end frivolously feminine, opined Mr. Cne. Designers get their ideas from the world, he said. Conditions govern them. Prohibition, even, has produced a hat. There will be more dining without wining, hence more dancing Orange ot Popular Here. Hence the new, unquashable. un breakable, uncrushable lace affair that will hug the hair. "Copied after the Ranelegh mobs, you know." The reporter did not know. As to fashions in other lines, well. sleeves will be very tight, skirts 40 to 42 inches round the bottom, and but four to five inches off the ground, and coats and Jackets will be in box form. More information? The reason wom en in the Northwest don't wear orange is because it is a popular Indian color scheme. While purple is the rage in New York, the rage won't get south of the Mason and Dixon line, because col ored women affect purple, and lavender is not worn in Oregon because some thing in the climate fades out the color. There was lots more of It. The un happy newspaper man was shown ca thedral panel hats of Llsere straw, for which the designer received the idea from the French cathedrals. There was talk about sequin garnitures and pine apple braid, and "Oh, must you go?" said Mr. Cne. But the reporter had already gone. WATER AND RAIL WAR HIT EVIL OF TRANSPORTATION" COM PETITION SHOWN. Secretary Daniels Declares Railway) Burdened and "Waters Run Idly to Sea." WASHINGTON". Feb. 6. Eradication of the evils of competitive warfare be tween water and rail transportation, developments of the Nation's inland waterways and its harbors and their full utilisation for the promotion of the National prosperity were urged to day at the opening session of the Na tional Rivers and Harbors Congress. Optimism concerning economlo read justments also was sounded by most of the speakers. Indorsing the purposes of the con gress. Secretaries Baker and Daniels opposed the competitive warfare which has prevented full use of the water ways for transportation In the past and both predicted an era of indus trial expansion. In this connection they discounted the fesr of Bolshevism in this country, the Naval Secretary saying there "is no more danger of Bolshevism taking hold In America than there is of tho Kaiser entering the streets of Washington." Secretary Baker, in discussing the relation of waterways to the war and to the financial burden put on the na tions of the world by the war. said im provement of rivers and harbors would be a material factor in increasing for eign commerce for which ships now were being built. The waterway improvements, he said, also .would furnish useful and profit able work for many thousands of men. Secretary Daniels declared that the rauroaas oroKO aown unaer tneir in- i rruud hi.rH.n after Ainorin:. ntrt the war. while "the waters have run Idly to the sea." and said the railroads "naturally broke down because they were built on a peacetime programme based on the destruction of water traffic."

FEAR GRIPS MOST MINDS Continued from First Pn;.) public authorities appealed to the unions should control the decision and that each union in the matter of a sympathetic walkout Is governed by its International body, and the other contending that the majority o' mem bers of all unions, pooled as one, should rule.

Ilend of Grain Corporation Tolnt to Need of Extending Credit to Al lies if Cereals Arc Exported. WASHINGTON', Feb. 6. If the United States Is to sell its surplus wheat to the allies this year, the transaction muft be on a credit basts. Julius Barnes, head of the Food Administration's grain corporation, told tho Houee agriculture committee today at hearings on legisla tion to provide a method for carrying out the Uovernmenfs guaranteed price of $2.16 a bushel for tho 1919 wheal crop. The allies have not the financial ability to pay cash for the wheat, it was explained, and the United States Government will have to extend further credits. At present tho Treasury h:t5 no power to make loans to the Hllic after peace Is declared, although Con gress la considering a Treasury request to be permitted to extend the unused portion, about $1,500,000,000. of credits already authorized for war loans to allies for peace-time purchases in thi. country. Mr. Rarnes. In concluding his testi mony today, recommended that Con gress appropriate $1,000,000,000 to finance the marketing of the new crop and give the President broad powers over the export of wheat and trading in this country. He said it was neces sary to protect the millers against loss or there would be a dangerously low level of flour available as tho period of Government guarantee drew to a close June 1, 120; PINE OPERATORS CONFER Kcconstrnctton Problems Predomi nate at Spokane Meeting.
