THE 3IORXIXG OREGOXIAX, THURSDAY, AUGUST 28, 1919. LOYAL LEGION READY TO FIGHT BOLSHEVISM Attacks by Labor-Controlled Astoria Paper Answered. AMERICANISM HELD FIRST Aim of People Xow Controlling Paper Declared to Be Overthrow of Present V. S. Government. ASTORIA. Or, Aug- 17. (Special. ) That Americanism versus bolshevlsra Is the real Issue now before the people was the sentiment expressed at a spe cial meeting- of Clatsop Post. Ameri can Legion, that was attended by fully joo members of that organixation of ex-service men. "To combat the epidemic of radical ism Is not one man's fight but the fight of every true-blue American, and for that reason we want known Just how every man stands on this Import ant question." That was the sense of a resolution unanimously adopted. Recent attacks by the Astoria News on the legion and Its officers were discussed and the executive board was instructed to appoint a special committee, which Is to employ counsel and begin criminal as well as civil action against those responsible for these defamatory articles. This com mittee Is to bring suit for libel In the courts and also submit criminal charges to the grand Jury at Its coming session. Labor's "eatlmrat SoBsfct. As the Astoria Central Labor Council is the owner of the News, the secretary of the post was instructed to send a communication to the labor council, asking If it indorses the bolshevik propaganda being spread by its paper. The letter sent to the council says: To the Central l-attor i.oun Deiaies of fcacn Union Belonflns Thereto: Gentleman In view ol the lamentable con trover.y brought about by the recent attack of the Aatona News upon the American lesion, the lesion wishes to make plain to the Cantral Ljibor Council, and to all of the umona compo.lng aald council. Just what l in position in the matter. In the first place, we wish It to be clearly understood that we have not and never have had any quarrel with organized labor, over mne-tentha of our members are laboring men. and every man of us. through the sac rifices we hate made together for the good of our country during the past war has learned to have a quick and keen Interest In the we. fare of our fellow man regardless of what may be his occupation. Loyalty to Country first. At the same time, we have, and always will have a quarrel with any individuals who. fur any reason, make such false and scurrilous attacks as the Astoria News has made on the character of men who have fought and bled with us In the cause of liberty. hold that Individual who will descend so low as to do tnese tnings inten tionally, or who are so irresponsible as to do them unthinkingly, are not worthy to voice Hie claims of the great mass of honest workina men of this city or country. We wish also to make It plain that we have an unenulng quarrel with any ana sit tndivldua.s whoso purpose la to overthrow the government of the United Stale of America. This we know to be the purpose of the people who at present control the policy of the Astoria News. The editress of that pwer has stated on oath in court that she la a bolshevik, and that she believes the conditions brought about by the bolshevik! In Kuaala today should be duplicated in the United Mates. Kurt bermore. we believe it la eviuent lo anyone who has followed her paper In the pat that ah Is using its col umn, not a a means of building up or benefiting organixed labor as such, but pri marily to spread bolshevik propaganda and to eudeavor to set up a Soviet government in eur land. Legloa Prepared t tight. We cannot believe that such propaganda represents the opinion of the average work. Ing man or of the average labor union of this country. We are convinced that It Is dia metrically opposed to the Interests of the working men and to all other classes. As Americans, we cannot permit this to go on unprotested or unopposed. We are prepared j to flcht It a bitterly, and break It aa thor- I oughty a we fougbt and broke the power of the Hun. We. therefore, earnestly request the Cen tral l-aiwjr 4nunrll and all the unions of Astoria to Join with us In this fight to put down this movement which Intends to turn our land of prosperity and happiness Into one of blnori-thed and terror. We request that you di-M'harge at once the people who have so proet;tutel the paper which ought to be a true oman of the unions In a con strue tlte prosranime for the uplift of the wolkinc il.ts-es And we pleuge you our ur.snr.ted support in any honorable effort that you may make to further your legiti- the J.

He recited his own dif ficulties in securing stocks for chain stores "You regard this opposition as an Indication of combination among tie wholesalers?" Senator Kenyon asked. "I do," Williams responded. He said i that ne had laid the facts before the federal trade commission and that an investigation had been started. J. G.

THE famous old Baker stock com pany, a Pacific coast theatrical in stitution. Is to' launch its 19th season on Sunday, September 7, opening in "Come Out of the Kitchen." The personnel of the new company is especially interesting to Baker patrons inasmuch as Verna Felton. who was a great favorite last season, is to be leading woman. At the close of last season, July 1. following a ten-week period during which Miss Felton had been playing leads, a lengthy manu script, a petition signed by some 700 patrons of the theater, was sent Mr. Seaman. The names and addresses of hundreds of Portland theatergoers were attached to the petition. "Naturally the petition, coming as it did so unsolicited and wholly unknown to Miss Felton, was a surprise and a compliment, but ft was only an added emphasis on my own Judgment, for our directors had already decided, after seeing Miss Felton's splendid work in leading roles, as well as in other roles during the season, and witnessing her big popularity, to ask her to consider auother season at the Baker," said the manager. "So the choice of Miss Fel ton in leads will certainly be unanimous." Another delightful surprise is con tained in the choice of Mayo Methot as ingenue. Mayo has been away from the I footlights In Portland for two years. during which she has been attending Miss Catlin's school and specializing in French and instrumental music Also she has been coaching in interpretative dancing and In vocal music with pri vate teachers here and in California during her vacation days. Mayo . is beloved by Baker patrons and now that she has graduated from little girl roles into a full-fledged ingenue her friends will surely watch her progress with much interest. David Herblln is coming from New York to be the leading man. He is from the Moroseo forces and his work Is best known in the east. John G. Fee. who was of the com pany last season and who played leads with Miss Felton the last ten weeks of the season, is returning. So Is Lee Reports Connecting Frank Meredith With Wardenshlp. Receive Scant Attention at Capital. SALEM, Or., Aug. 27. (Special.) Governor Olcott oday made it plain that he had no knowledge of a rumor current here to the effect that Frank Meredith, former secretary of the Ore gon state fair board, and at present acting in a similar capacity in Wash ington, was to resign his position on December 1 to accept the wardenshlp of the penitentiary. .-- Several well known Oregon men have been mentioned recently in connection with, the management of the prison here, but all present indications point to R. E. L. Steiner remaining in charge of the institution for an indefinite period. When R. L. Stevens of, Portland, re tired as head of the penitentiary a few months ago Mr. Steiner accepted the Job under protest, but since that time he is said to have Informed friends that he was satisfied with the berth. Because of Mr. Steiner's ability to or. ganlze the forces at the penitentiary in such a way as to get the best results at the least. possible expense to the state. It is not believed here that Gov ernor Olcott will dispense with his services and return him to the manage ment of the state hospital. Friends of Mr. Meredith here are of the opinion that in the event he again becomes a factor in the state adminis tration it will be in connection with the state fair board and not the pen! tentiary. They base this statement they say, upon a local rumor that A. H. Lea, present secretary of the fair board, has intimated a desire to retire from his position late' in the present year. . . - FIRE SITUATION BETTER SOME BLAZES STUBBORD, BUT . NO NEW ONES APPEAR. Dangerous Fires Are Spreading In Columbia Reserve on Washington , Side, but Crews Hopeful. Although no new fires were reported yesterday to the district forester's of fice, a number, of uncontrolled ones are still raging furiously. In- this state the Cascade, Santiam and Oregon forests are facing the worst situation, while in Washington two dangerous-blazes are spreading in the Columbia reserve. One of these is near Yauolt and thratens to spread 4n to the old Yacolt burn. The two fires in the Columbia forest originated on state land arid early in the week spread into the national re serves. At Cougar 30 men. Jed by F. H. HriinHac.0 Bnnrvi!tnr. T& battline: the flames, which are in the Siouxon burn. and a large number of men are worK- ine from the state side. It was reportea yesterday that the postoffice at Cougar had been consumed Dy me names, out this has not been verified. The Yacolt fire is between six and eight miles long. Three fires in the Oregon forest have been occupying the attention of Super visor Sherrard. One is at Rainy lake near Hood River, another at Roaring river on a branch of the Clackamas and the third on Rhododendron ridge. All of these are large and about 150 en are out caring for them, 50 to eacn fire. However, unless an east wina should set in, no great danger is fore seen, as the fires are all in old burns and are not damaging green timber. More men will be sent today to the Santiam forest, where 3o are needed to replace the logging crew which has been at work a week near Detroit. In the Cascade district the worst fire is at Fall creek ard another is on Cof fee Pot creek. At the latter place bi men from the Penn Lumber company are fighting the flames. The weather is decidedly unfavorable and the situa tion looks so serious that A. O. Waha, chief of the operations office, has gone to Fall Creek to direct his men. The situation is improved In tne Siskiyou forest, where all blazes are under control. Several big ones-are being watched in the Malheur forest, but these are not doing much damage. Two or three little fires have not-yet been extinguished in the Whitman re serve. ( Crabtree Fire Dying Down. ALBANY, Or., Aug. 27. (Special.) Conditions are reported favorable to. nlzht for stooDinsr the big forest fire on Crabtree creeK, east oi bacomo, wniun has covered approximately 6000 acres. The blaze has made little progress the past two days, and unless a strong wind arises the 300 fire fighters may- noia it circumscribed limits, only rain. however, can put it out and prevent It continuing a menace to large bodies of valuable timber. .Your Daily Bread and Ours IN the present drive against food hoarders and profiteers it is inevitable that some industries and businesses shall suffer injustice, even at the hands of ... those who seek to give justice to all. IT has always been the history of crusades that the voice of sober fact in the end prevails. But at the beginning of all drives its voice is lost " -. i. in the. clamor raised by the ill-informed, the politicians, the professional limelight posers and others who seek to further their own ambitions by ' - riding the so-called "popular wave." ..... "SUCH is the situation in Portland today. While the seekers for truth are -.patiently delving for facts the profiteers in popularity are making false accusations and charges against the baking industry of Portland . ; and of Oregon, either -without facts or in disregard of them. 1 -;V.: ' , It is charged that there is a trust when there is no trust. It is charged that the bakers are profiteering when many of them are losing heavily. . It is charged that the price of bread is too high, when, m - fact, bread is the cheapest food on the market today. c The public has been and. is being misled, either viciously or ignorantly inso far as the bakers are concerned. . The cards, for the present, are stacked ' against them. Politics and "policies" have stood in the way of giving the public the facts. As a result the Bakers today stand convicted at the bar of public opinion, without fairness or trial. Does the public know that the so-called fair price fixing com - mittee declined to accept the offer of the bakers to pay for an examination of the. bakery books by a certified public ac countant of the committee's own choosing? It does not! Does the public know that one member of the committee voted against the bakers after he had said that he hadn't heard the evidence? It does not! Does the public know that figures given in confidence at an executive meeting of the committee were published the next day in newspapers? It does not These facts, along with those which show that the price of bread in Portland is lower than the average price in ALL AMERICA have not been published. The facts concerning the cost of making bread and delivering it have not . graced the news columns. Thus far, in' fact, the facts have been suppressed; the con fidence of the bakers has been violated, and they have been compelled to remain silent in the face of false accusations. Now, unless the advertising columns are closed to them, they intend to give the facts. They ask the public to read them and pass judgment knowing that the people are fair once they have opportunity to get the truth. RLAD THE FACTS.
