TASHTN-GTON". Feb. 5. On the first
day of his return to the capital. Pres
ident Wilson put in more than 10 hours
at his desk, signing IS bills and Join
resolutions, making a. score of nomina
tion9. discussing arovemment business
for three hours with his rabinct and
winding up the day's work by a con
ferenco on the legislative situatio
with Democratic Leader Martin,
which the president announced his de
rUion not 10 rail an extra session o
congress until after his return from
Europe.
Altogether, it was one of the busies
cays in recent years at the Whit
House. President Wilscn resumed work
with a rush, surprising executive office
attaches by being; at his desk when
they reported (his morning. From then
on. there was ceaseless bustle every
where, clicking of typewriters, si.urrv
ing of messengers and arrivals c
callers, few of whom saw the chief ex
ecutive.
Two Questions Sidetracked.
Nomination of an attorney-general
and an address to congress were two
questions said by White House officials
to be relegated to the background for
the present, beveral names art .under
consideration for the cabinet vacancy
caused by the resignation of Thomat

of the league of nations in detail with

guests &t dinner, and the belief
growing in official quartern that the
president will consider his exlana

being.
Governors to AaacmMe.
There was a full attendance at the
rabinct meetlrg. Vice-President Mar

J'oik took Landing's plac.
Secretary Wilson announced after
the cabinet adjourned that March .". had
keen ehoien as the date for a confer

ident Wilson is anxious to disruss the
domestic labor filiation. The ronfer-e-nro
will be be!d In Washington. Un
employment, complicated by the de
mobilisation of large numbers of sol
diers and sailors, and the attendant
troblcm of labor unrtst are receiving
close attention from the prcsidtr.t.
Howie Breaks lafo Applaune,
A message from President Wilson an
nouncing his approval of ?8 bills and
joint resolutions passed by congress
and accumulated during his absence
overseas was the signal for a demon
stration late today in the house.
When the white house messenger was
announced democratic members started
hpplau'ling and cheering and many re
publicans joined In the demonstration,
ft--h continued several minutes while
the president's messenger stood smil
ing and blushing.
Of the bills signed by the president
the most important were the war reve
nue measure and the bill appropriat
ing HOtf.OO0.OOU fur European food
relief.
"Pay Cbeerfully," 5js Jlr. Glass.
Secretary Glass today appealed to
the American people to pay cheerfully
the higher war taxes. He referred to
it as a "victory tax" to bear the cost
cf a war which has brought "the in
effable boon of peace."
Taxes which become operative at once
include those on liquor, tobacco, soft
drinks, so-called luxuries, such as au
tomobiles, pianos, candy, chewing gum,
sporting goods and slot machines, capi
ta.! stock of corporations, brokers,
amusement places, taxicabs r.nd other
pecial businesses.

Robert M. Swectzer, Democrat, Is
Nominated Over Thomas Carey by
Estimated Majority of 60,000.
CHICAGO, Feb. 53. Mayor William
Hale Thompson was renominated by
the republicans and County Clerk Rob
ert M. Sweitzer was nominated by the
democrats in today's mayoralty pri
maries. Both won by big pluralities.
Four years ago Thompson defeated
Sweitzer by the largest majority ever
given a candidate for mayor of Chi-
cago.
Late tonight it appeared that Mayor
Thompson had not only received
plurality of about 45,000 over Judge
Harry Olson, chief Justice of the mu
nicipal court, but had received con
siderable more than both Olson and
Captain Charles E. Merriam combined,
Sweitzer's plurality over Thomas
Carey, a brick manufacturer, it was
estimated, would range between 60.000
and 70.000.
Max Herdiemeyer, who long called
himself "the burgomaster" in a. north
side German ward, also ran on the
democratic ticket, with a platform of
"free beer, no work," nd other limit
less planks. He received a few hun

STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or., Feb.
. (Special.) It is costing the state
more than $1200 each day that tn
legislature Is now hanging on. The
session should have ended sine die last
Saturday, but because of the dilatory
tactics of the house the machinery is
still grinding, and each day expenses
are rolling up unnecessarily.
Clerk hire alone ranges between
$1000 and 11200, and In addition there
are the extra supplies, postage, fuel
and light; and between 700 and 800
bills and calendars are mailed out
dally. All this expense should have
ceased last Saturday.
Members are working on their own
time, receiving no compensation, and
there is nothing to prevent every mem
ber of the house and senate from Lak
lng his hat and going home without
giving further attention to the un
digested and undisposed bills which are
still piled desk high. The fault rests
with the speaker, in the opinion of
many members, for the reason that two
weeks ago Speaker Jones should have
started driving hard and forcing ac
tion. Instead, Mr. Jones has been very
considerate and has not attempted to
curb oratory nor prodded the house to
greater activity, it Is said.
Business is drifting along now just
as though there were three weeks more
of session, albeit members are becom
lng restive and Impatient. It is possible.
If enough members take the bit in
their teeth, to force the legislature to
adjourn Wednesday night.

STATE CAPITOL, Salem. Or.. Feb. 25.
(Special.) Organized labor won a
hair-line decision In the Oregon legisla-
ure today when Representative
Home's anti-injunction bill. No. 203.
passed the senate on 'third reading by
a vote of 16 to 3 4. The fat of the bill,
which has the solid backing of organ
ised labor throughout the state, was
not decided. until President Vinton re
corded the deciding vote.
Representative Eugene E. Smith, a
labor leader of Portland, wae granted
he privilege of the floor, and for
nearly an hour made an impassioned
plea on behalf of the bill. He traced
the history of organized labor down
from its very inception in this coun
try, and painted a sordid picture of la-
or conditions in Oregon during the
reconstruction period if the Horne bill
should be defeated.
Speaker Sounds Warning.
He referred time and again to the bol-
hevik movement, and prophesied that
unless the legislature passes a measure
beneficial to organized labor it will
mean that the laboring men who are
ow loyal citizens will turn their eyes
toward the strongholds of the I. W. W.
nd bolsheviks.
'If you don't give them a chance,
they'll follow Bill Hayward and his
uncn, because they know Hay ward's
ng will .go out and take ulial they
.nt," wai the tvVrutnjf Hounded ty the
Multnomah! representative.
Senators Ira Smith, Moser and Eddy
ere the chief advocates or the Dill
during the senate debate. Senator Smith
asserted that the time is at hand when
labor must be recognized, and he asked
that as a matter of public policy, dur-
ng the critical reconstruction period
which is at hand, the laboring men be
given this law which they say is so
necessary to their existence.
Amendments Voted Down.
Senator Dimick said he favored the
bill in many respects but refused to
vote for it unless the section permitting
boycotts were eliminated. Several
amendments offered by him to strike
out the boycott clauses were voted
down, and on final passage he voted
against the bill.

STATE CAPITOL,' Salem, Or.. Feb. 25.
(Special.) Universal military train
ing in schools and colleges as provided
for In Senator Hurley's bill Is oast
I resurrection as far as the present ses
sion is concerned. The house killed
ine measure without hearing a com
mittee report or even a discussion on
its merits.
Proponents of the bill declare that it
was killed by lobbying of friends of
the Oregon Agricultural college; that
President Kerr came here personally
and lobbied against it, and that Sena
tor Pierce and other friends of the ag
ricultural college have been polling the
house for a week to kill the bill. When
the measure was up in the senate Mr.
Pierce declared that the seat of the
military training activities should be
at the Oregon Agricultural college, and
that Colonel John H. Leader should not
be in charge of the activities, with its
head centralized at Eugene. Despite
these attacks the measure went
through the senate.-
Arriving In the house, it went to the'
judiciary committee, where it was held
until thi3 afternoon. That committee
reported it out, but with no other rec
ommendations than that it be sent to
the revision of laws committee. Chair
man Hare of the revision of laws com
mittee balked at this, declaring that he
didn t propose to have his committee
a graveyard or a booster for a bill, the
merits of which should not be passed
on in his committee.
An effort was then made to pass the
bill over to the committee on military
affairs.
"The chairman of that committee just
told me he would kill the bill if it
comes in his committee." shouted
Smith of Multnomah.
A vote on referring the hill to that
committee lost. A vote was then taken
on Indefinite postponement and fur
ther chance of the bill surviving was
drowned in a chorus of votes adverse
to the measure.
University of Oregon advocates lay
defeat of the bill entirely to the activ
ities of Oregon Agricultural college
champions.
The bill would havo provided for
training throughout the high schools
and colleges of the state.

Wishes of Portland.

In the selection of these, seven Tort-
land business men, the Multnomah
legislators acceded to th wishes of th
business interests of Portland, which,
since the Moser bill first made its ap
pearance In the legislature last week,
hav been insisting that the personnel

Mfntati "f ; ni the varied business !?iU
csts of Portland.
Ex-State Senator Cobb and George
S. Shepard appeared before the dele
gation and urced the selection of new
members to the commission.
Mr. Cobb in particular pointed out
that great possibilities lie before the)
Port of Portland and he predicted that
a wise selection of members would
redound to the credit of Oregon as
well as the city of Portland. In view
of the fact that the vote on th seven
members was unanimous, it was de
cided that a drawing1 should determine
the length of the terms of the mem
bers. On motion of Representative Smith,
slips of paper with the names of the
seven members were placed in a hat,
with the understanding that the first
four to be drawn out would serve for
two years and the remaining three for
four years. Those whom the drawing
decreed should serve until the next
legislative session were George IL
Kelly, Phil Metschau, Jr.; J. D. Ken
worthy and 'rank M. Warren.
Others Serve Four Years.
The other three members are to
serve for four years. Jn making this
motion Representative Smith said that
if the new commission should be un
able to work in harmony, there would
be an opportunity to gain a new ma
jority on the commission by this
method.
Representative Moore presented a
proposed amendment to the Port of
Portland bill which for a time threat
ened to disrupt the harmony which had
been procured but a few minutes
earlier, when he suggested that the
district attorney of Multnomah county
should serve as the legal advisor of the
commission.
Both senators Banks and Moser In
sisted this might indicate that there
was some solid foundation to the
charges that they both aspired to be
attorneys for the commission and
Senator Moser declared he would not
let the amendment be added to a bill
bearing his name.
The delegation, however, voted
against them, but so Insistent were
hey in their demands for the with
drawal of the amendment, that the
other members laid It aside in the in
terests of continued harmony.
Bill to Be Drawn Today.
It was suggested that a. bill be drawn
and presented tomorrow placing the
legal work of the commission under
the jurisdiction of the district attorney
and this probably will be done.
In support of his proposal, Repre
sentative Moore said he had been in
formed that the Port of Portland com
mission last year paid out 30,000 for
legal services. This was characterized
by various members as gross extrava
gance, but they predicted that the new
commission as selected tonight would
make a sweeping change in such con
ditions. The bill was amended tonight by the
delegation to conform to the new per
sonnel, and it will be presented to the
house the first thing tomorrow morn
ing. It then will be transmitted to the
senate for concurrence In the house
amendments.
Definite Action Delayed.
All day members of the Multnomah
delegation were struggling with the
proposed personnel of the Port of
Portland commission. At noon they
