THE MORNING OREGOMAX, FRIDAY, JULY 25. 1919. 22 JEBS'OF NORTHWEST WIN onciliation Board Grants v crease in Wages. In- SCHEDULE IS RETROACTIVE Recommendation Is Made That Fu ture Increases Be Based Upon living Conditions. Grainhandlers of Portland, Seattle Bud Tacoraa are granted an increase from 75 to SO cents an hour for straight time and from il.12 to $1.20 an hour overtime in the decision handed down last night by the Oregon state board of conciliation, consisting of William F. Woodward, O. R. Hartwig and J. I'lynn. This increase is retroactive to July 1. The decision of the board was unanimous. .;, Although the duration of the wage schedule is not fixed, a strong recom mendation is made by the board that further increases shall be based upon such changes in living conditions as will justify reopening the controversy. The hope is expressed in the decision of the board that losses which opera tors have sustained by raising wages while working under contracts which made no provision for Increased wages will be recompensed in new contracts now being drawn up between operators and the grain corporation of the United States food administration. Decision Is Accepted. The decision reached by the board last night is the outcome of an arbitra tion of the strike Issue agreed upon by both grainhandlers and operators. fter Portland grainhandlers had de clared their strike, they consented to return to work pending the decision of the board of conciliation, and both em ployers and employes agreed to accept the decision of the board as final. At this time grainhandlers of the Puget Sound cities, who had been contem plating a strike, joined issues with the Portland workers and added their wage dispute to the question before the )oard. i a Tiearinc- Wednesday in the cen tral library, at which representatives of the dock operators and of the -ort-:and, Seattle and Tacome unions were present, testimony was submitted in -Kokoir of the errainhandlers' justifica tion for their demand. Members of the w.Q r-A .nTieirtcreii and argued the cas yesterday, and announced their unani mous decision in the evening. Besides settling the strike in this district and preventing a strike on tiiret Sound, the decision of the board also equalizes wage scales for the entire northwest, thus eliminating the pn-nanH.so3ttli differential in pay -which has been a source of trouble and dissatisfatcion for many years. Action Is Commended. In announcing the judgment of the board, Mr. Woodward said last night: I wish to praise the loyalty and good faith of all parties in consenting to arbitration, and placing full confi in the administration. This board ..nmnienrls esDeclally the action of the s-rainhandlers in returning .to work wriille. the matter was being settled. Further than this, the board wishes to attest its appreciation of a con ference which embraced the interests of the various cities concerned and has brought about a condition wherein local and essentially unfair competi tive conditions he been eliminated."

Two gigan- ic liners, larger than any ships now float and designed to cross the At lantic in four days, are to be built by he shipping board. They will be 1000 feet long and of 30 knots speed and will be equipped for use as commerce de stroyers in the event of war. Announcement was made today by he board that plans for the ships had been completed and that work on them would be started in the near future. It is proposed, to provide a special ter minal for them at Fort Pond Bay, Long island, and it may be that two similar liners will be constructed later.

Contractor Curtis Works Every Day Now Since Taking Tanlac Rheumatism Is All Gone. "My wonderful Improvement since taking Tanlac Is the talk of all my friends and acquaintances." said W. K. Curtis, a well-known painting and dec orating contractor who lives at 813 West Grace avenue, Spokane, a few days ago. "L'p to tire time I commenced taking Tanlac," continued Mr. Curtis. "I hadn't been able to do any work for about six months, I took to my bed last Jan uary and stayed there for three solid months, and at one time my folks had given me up to die. Why. in one single night they gave me 115 worth of medi cine In an effort to save me. My kidneys were in terrible bad condition and nobody will ever know how 1 suf fered from the pains In the small of my back. That wasn't all that was wrong with me. either, for I had rheu matism in my hands and feet, and it just seemed that the awful aching pains 1 had on this. account would kill me. I was down and out. all right, and I had no idea that I would ever be a well man again. "A friend of mine, an insurance man. came out to see me one day. and be told me how much good Tanlac had done him. and advised me to give it a trial. Well, sir, I never saw anything to equal the way Tanlac got after that rheumatism, and in little or no time the swelling was all gone from my hands and feet and now I never have any sign of that awful trouble. The pains in my back are gone, loo. and my kidneys seem to be in perfect cendl tlon. I don't have to lie awake and suffer agonies every night now. but I just stretch out In bed and sleep like boy all night long. I have gained i lot in weight and strength, and In fact 1 was never in better health in my life. Am back on the Job, and never lose any time at all from my work. So you see Tanlac has proved to be a real medicine in my case, and as long as 1 live I will boost it as strong as 1 can! Tanlac is sold in Portland by the Owl Urug Co.

Changes in the government regula tions regarding foreign travel, inci dent to the signing of peace, are an nounced by it. 1'. Bonhatn, . United States immigration inspector for this district. Chief of these changes i the fact that travel to countries which were I Neighbor, neutral ana aiuea during tne war is now permitted with no further for mality than a passport from the local consul of the country to which it is dcHired to travel. Passports to the central powers, Bul garia, Turkey, Germany and wiat was forme-ly Austria-Hungary, may be re quested, said Mr. Bonhatn, but as yet the government has not granted any such passports. It is the present policy ol the government, he said, to discour age travel to these countries and hold it to the minimum. Because of the scarcity of shipping generally and the congestion on the Atlantic coast, all persons planning to visit Jurope should make sure of reservations from New York eastward before setting out from here. Thou sands pi persons, ne said, have gone to New York expecting to secure passage Immediately to the continent, the United Kingdom or the Scandinavian countries, and have been -obliged to wait in New York for months. "Only persons having relatives or legitimate business interests in Europe are being granted passports," said Mr. Bonham. "The government does not want sight-seers in France or the rest of Europe because of the food situation abroad." M CRD EH OF SETTLERS IX WYOMING AROUSES FRIENDS.

Company is a business of infinite details, requiring infinite attention. Experienced men must know livestock buying with a knowledge of weight, price, the amount and quality of meat the live animals will yield. Each manufacturing operation' must be done with expert skill and scientific precision. A highly perishable product must be handled with speed and care to avoid loss. . Chemists, engineers, accountants, and other specialists are required to take care of our intricate oroblems. Alert wisdom and judgment must be used in getting stocks of goods into the open channels of demand through our four hundred branch houses. Branch house organizations must show activity and energy to sell at the market in the face of acute competition from other large packers, and hundreds of small ones. All these requirements of intelligence, loyalty, devotion to the task, are met in the personnel of Swift 8c Company. Yet the profit is only a fraction of a cent per pound, with costs at minimum. - How can the workings of this delicate human mechanism be improved upon?

It remains for this committee to decide whether the proposed spur will be a municipal line owned and operated by the commission of public docks, or will be a part of the lines of the Portland Railway Lisht &.

Fuller, general manager of the traction company, stated that the St. Johns line is not paylnar expense at present, and that the company-cannot fford to build ana operate me orancn line unless susidlxed by the city. 1 urged that the dock commission con struct the line and then either run the cars itself or pay the company to do so. Commissioner Ben seiiina; oojeciea to this Dlan beca ise of tne delay ana congestion that would ensue at the transfer point. He urged that tne cars le run straight through from the municipal terminal to portlana.
