THE 3IOIIXISG OREGOXIAX, Tni'RSDAT, JUXE 12, 1913. REPLY! HUN MAY BE PREPARED BY FRIDAY Officials Talk- Hopefully, but Statements Are Scouted. PRESIDENT LOSES POINT CTemenccan Wins Diplomatic Clash With AVilson, When Latter Wants fixed Sum of Reparations. PARIS, June 11. (By the Associated Tress.) Distinct progress was reported tonight on the reply of the allied and associated governments to the German counter-proposals, and indications are that the reply will be ready for de livery on Friday. The Germans will be given five days limit for final action, which would therefore come on or before June 18. The main feature of this progress was an agreement regarding .the reparation terms which have been the subject of a sharp controversy during the past 10 days. 1 The fluid state of the proceedings, however, bakes it difficult to accept the optimistic statements of various members of delegations, that an agree ment on the reply to the German counter proposals probably will be reached speedily. In epite of the attempt to speed up the work on the peace conference, re ports are still unavailable from com missions dealing with Schleswig-Hol-ctein, the eastern boundaries of Ger many, the Belgian frontier and water ways and harbors. Big Foar'a Coarse Mystery. There is some discussion in general conference circles whether a plenary cession will be called to consider the reply to the German counter proposals or whether the big four will, send it directly to Versailles without reference to the other nations. No indications of the procedure to be adopted is permitted to come from the council of four. While the treaty textually is un changed, the reply reads into it con structions, definitions and explana tions of certain clauses which, in the belief of some elements of the confer ence, become virtually part of the treaty itself, entitling consideration because ell the parties are involved. The reply to the German counter proposals agreed upon by the peace conference heads refuses the German request for a mandate for the former German colonics, it was learned today. A lengthy memorandum gives the reasons for the refusal and explains the operations of the league of na tions on colonial matters. Total Sam ot Set. The reparations portion of the reply, which has been completed and has reached the printer, does not fix the total sum which the Germans must pay. The text of the treaty itself is not changed, but the reply contains as surances to Germany regarding the method of the reparations process, ex plaining that it is a workable arrange ment. President Wilson fought strenuously but vainly to include a fixed total sum in the reparations clause, and the close of the discussion leaves him unchanged, it is paid, in the belief that that is the best plan. It -is understood, however, that the president said that inasmuch as Pre mier Clcmenceau had insisted to the contrary and also that he had signed the original draft, he would sign the reply as formulated. It is understood that assurance will be given the Germans regarding the details of the army of occupation, the ize of it, the cost of its maintenance and the duration of the occupation un der favorable circumstances. Clcmenceau Wins Way. The league of nations commission completed and presented to the council of four a second report containing cer tain modifications of the league coven ant in favor of the Germans, but the fate of the report is uncertain. The first report was submitted after it had been adopted unanimously by the commission. It was rejected by by the council, it is said, on the insistence of Premier Clemenceau and sent back to the commission to be toned down. Any information whether the second report provides for the admission of Germany into the league at the first meeting next October was refused to day. Premier Clemenceau is especially firm in his refusal to agree to the admission to Germany to the league of nations immediately. The French hold that they understand German psy chology better than the' allies and realize what the increasing arrogance s.

They say they appre ciate how much this arrogance would be increased if the peace conference should yield to the German demands for immediate admission to the league. The French, it is understood, are will ing that the Germans should be ad mitted later, but insist that this admis sion must not be in compliance with what they term "Germany's present haughty demand." Many Reports Lnrktnr. The determination of France not to consent to any material changes in the treaty with Germany was clearly defined today- after the meeting of the council of four and various com-nitssions. FARMERS SEEK LOW BATE LOSG AXD SHORT-HArL CHARGE SYSTEM IS SOUGHT. All Farmers' Organizations in United States Will Be Asked to Join in Nation-Wide Movement. SPOKANE, Wash., June 11. (Spe cial.) Fifteen hundred farmers and their friends in Spokane today got be hind a nation-wide movement for re duced freight rates and the adoption o fthe long and short-haul rate system, when a resolution calling for legisla tion against unjust discrimination against inland points was adopted with out a dissenting vote at the morning session of the first federated farmers' convention of tne Pacific northwest at the state armory. The resolution was presented by W. S. McCrea of the Spokane Chamber of Commerce, who for years has been among the city's leaders in the fight tor tne long and short-haul clause in freight rates. Copies of the resolution will be printed and cent to every farm er's convention and organization in the United States with special requests that it be adopted and that every effort be made to get support for the proper legislation. Mr. McCrea was introduced by A. A. Elmore, president of the Washington Mate farmers union, who acted as chairman at today's session. The read ing of the resolution was the signal for a storm of applause. J. C. Cun ningham moved that it be adopted and was cheered. The motion was seconded in a dozen places. On the vote the armory fairly rang with the "ayes." AD MEN LAY SALES PLANS f Continued From First Pas?.) California in years prior to co-operative marketing had sent any grade of produce to the markets, had glutted the markets with heavy losses to themselves. Under the co-operative plan, which means the growers organized into corporation for the sale and ex ploitation of their produce. Mr. Wein- stock said that $200,000,000 annually is received for California products. The raisin industry alone is bring ing a total of approximately f 75,000,- 000 each year, whereas a few years ago the raisin growers were forced to feed the raisins to the hogs. Co-operative marketing presents an opportunity to every state and to every advertising agency," said Colonel Weinstock. "All that is needed is cleverness in presenting the products to the consumer in an appealing man ner and the results will be in the favor of the consumer, for under co-operative marketing every product is stand arized and assurance is given of per fect products." Salesmanship according to Mr. Wein stock is not alone the disposal of "things" but the greatest salesman ship, he said was in the sale of ideas. Father Abraham First Salesman. "The world's first great salesman of ideas" he said 'was no one else than Father Abraham who sold to the world of idolitry the Monotheistic idea one God. The second great salesman of the world was Moses who sold to tne world the ten commandments. "The world's third greatest sales man was our Master, Jesus Christ who sold the Sermon on the Mount. The fourth great world salesman of ideas was George Washington who sold the world the idea of civil liberty. The next great world's salesman of ideas was Abraham Lincoln who sold the idea of wiping out human' slavery. "In the present day we have a wonderful salesman of ideas, our own President Wilson, who is endeavoring to sell to the world the idea of a league of nations and who if success ful will be crowned with the virtue of having been instrumental in ac complishing that which idealists and dreamers have hoped for during the course of hundreds of years peace among all nations." Strawberries Cost Jkothfng. Large luscious strawberries furnish ed without cost by the apple growers of Hood River are proving the delight of the ladies in attendance at the con vention. The berries are shipped daily from Hood River and are served to the ladies each morning in the rooms of the hotels. The strawberries are also served to the ladies at the com plementary luncheons and at the trout breakfast the men and women delegates nad visitors will be served these berries at the trout breakfast at Eagle point. California visitors have expressed astonishment at the wonderful straw berries grown in this country and the Admen of the south point to these berries as a wonderful possibility for the Oregon advertisers to make the producta of Oregon better and more widely known throughout the world. The large paper mills at Oregon City and other manufacturing plants located in Portland and its environs is proving a treat to many of the visiting Admen. C. M. C. Raymond, a delegate from Los Angeles is conducting tours to the manufacturing plants and yesterday said that he never fully appreciated the importance of Portland until he had inspected the truly wonderful manufacturing plants located here. Attracted by the advertising ex hibits of the Crown-Willamette Paper company. Mr. Raymond sought Chair man Charles W.

SEATTLE FIGHTS PROPOSAL Samuel Gompcrs Declares Preven tion of TTse or Alcohol and Bol shevism Are Cause and Effect. ATLANTIC CITT, X. J.. June 11. A resolution expressing organized labor's disapproval of war-time prohibition and strongly urging that 2 per cent beer be exempt from the provisions of the 18th amendment to the constitution and from the war-time prohibition measure which goes Into effect July 1, was adopted today by the reconstruction convention of the American Federation of Labor. A bitter fight was waged on the proposal by dry elements, especially by delegates from Seattle, who based their arguments on the benefits they said thir city had found through prohi bition, but it was carried by an over whelming vote of 26,475 to 4005. The voting is proportional to the member, ship of the unions represented. The resolution will be sent to Presi dent Wilson and congress. Nearly all the big labor organiza tions of the country vnteri fnr ih. resolution. The blacksmiths, spinnera. stereotypers and delegates of the Teachers' Federation of America all voted against it. The boilermakers and iron shipbuilders, the longshoremen and "", lypograpr.ical organizations split their vote. Aside from Seattle, Chicago was the only one of the big city labor organizations that voted "no." Seattle Delegation Opposed. Immediately after the passage of the resolution another was offered provid ing that the convention should sus pend its session Sat ..day in order that the delegates might go to Washington on a special train to participate in the great demonstration to be held in front of the capitol there as a protest against war-time prohibition. This resolution was adopted almost unanimously, the delegation from Seattle being the only one to vote against it. So spirited did the debate become that Samuel Gomptrs. president of the fed eration and chairman of the convention, became involved in it. Mr. Gompers said that his name having been drawn into the discussion by delegates who criticised him for having written mag azine .articles on the rubject of prohi bition, he felt called upon to speak. He explained that he had written articles "as an American and a got 1 citizen." "From the time of the signing of the Declaration of Independence and the conception of the constitution of the united fatates," he said, "the prohibi tion question is the first that has ever actually involved denial of the right of people to do things. Bolshevism Is Feared. "What is coins- to hannen if th habits of a people are suddenly changed overnight? Look at Russia. Since vodka was suppressed entirely it is a fact that there have been more cases of alcoholism in the hospitals than ever before in the history of that country. "I am not prepared to say that pro hibition of alcohol and bolshevism are cause and effect. But you will find when later resolutions are introduced mat me proposition that comes from Seattle is one that favors bolshevism far the United States." Mr. Gompers paused for a moment, and then went on to say that the res olution was not a prohibition question. "It is a proposition to determine whether we think it fair to allow us to lead our lives as we desire." Washing-ton Conditions Described. .Immediately after the reading of the resolution, James A. Duncan, chairman of the central labor council of Seat tle, criticised the actions of the reso lutions committee for reporting the resolution first, claiming that, in his opinion, the workers of the country would have been better satisfied had resolutions dealing with a six-hour working day been the first out of the committee. He said he and his organ ization were against any movement to alter in any way war-time or any other kind of prohibition. "We believe in these important times," he continued, "that it is better to keep the minds of the people sober The experience in Washington has shown that with prohibition the work ers are better clothed, better housed and have better conditions than ever before." A resolution to come before the con vention is one requesting President Wilson to remove Postmaster-General Burleson. The postmaster-general is charged in the resolution with having "ruthlessly invaded the rights of employes." Among many other resolutions, which probably will be reported out of the committee at the sessions tomorrow, are several dealing with proposals for nationalization of various industries. Mrs. Moonrj Speaks. The Mooney case also came up today. Mrs. Rena Mooney, wife of the con victed man, obtained permission to ad dress the convention from the platform. Mrs. Mooney discussed all the evi dence in the case, which she said tend ed to prove the innocence of her hus band of any connection with the San Francisco explosion. The delegates listened in silence to her recital and at its conclusion there was considerable applause. Numerous delegates tonight attended a "discussion of the Mooney case."

Judges in Ad Men's Contests Are Confronted With Closest Va riety of Competition. The closest sort of competition was put before the judges selected to make awards in the various contests center ing at the I'aciflc Coast Advertising Men's association during the week, and especially so in the Victory Rose Festival and Animated Trademark pa rade of the dual organizations yester day. The judges in many instances had difficulty in determining the rela tive rank of entries in the competition and some difficulty, too, in fixing some of the classifications. Los Angeles contributed a handsome cup for the club making the best show ing of activities in supporting the ed ucational and other movements of the federal government during the war period. When the special committee appointed on this award reached a de cision, it was held that Los Angeles had far outstripped any other city of the coast in this particular field and the southern city will become the pos sessor of its own trophy. Spokane and Seattle were given honorable mention in this classification.

House, one of the United States peace delegates, has been asked to in vestigate the disappearance of Robert Minor, -a newspaper correspondent and cartoonist, who was taken from his hotel, presumably by French officials.
