CEMENT RATE CASE
HEARING IS OPENED
Allegations of Portland Men
Not Substantiated.
CONSPIRACY IS CHARGED
Interstate Commerce Examiner
Hears Statements, Holding
California Favored.
Testimony as not forthcoming
yesterday in support of the allega
tion contained in paragraph 14 of the
complaint of the Portland Traffic
and Transportation association and
tre Oregon Portland Cement company
that a conspiracy has been entered
into by California cement mills, the
Southern Pacific company and the
San Francisco, Portland & Seattle
Steamship company against the Os
wego cement mills.
While on the witness stand, G. Mc
Donald, sales manager of the Oswego
company, was asked to explain the
allegations set forth in the complaint
and to give specific data relative to
the conspiracy. U. Butler, examiner
for the interstate commerce commis
sion, pointed out that such a serious
charge should not be overlooked.
Mr. McDonald, although he said he
had reason to believe such a con
spiracy had been entered into, was
unable to present facts In proof of
the charge, but was permitted to
make a statement in which he re
viewed the maintenance of freight
rates that are considered discrimina
tory against the Oswego mills.
The action is brought against the
director-general of railroads and the
Fouthern Pacific company on the
grounds that the freight charges for
transportation of cement from Os
wego to points in Oregon, Washing
ton, California and Idaho are unjust,
unreasonable and in violation of sec
tion 1U of the federal control act.
Serious Cbaree Made.
The rate, it is alleged, is estab
lished, to foster the distribution of
California cement and is partial to
California shippers. The local com
pany alleges that no joint through
rate exists and demands the estab
lishment of a ruling as to mixed car
loads of cement, lime and plaster
similar to that granted California
mills.
During the course of his testimony
Mr. McDonald, who was on the stand
through the afternoon and during
the evening session, gave numerous
illustrations of what he considers un
fair treatment of the Oregon Portland
Cement company in the matter of
freight rates, contending for a re
duction that will permit his concern
to compete with California mills
within the territory that properly be
longs to the Oregon mill. Because
plants have been built in the south
far beyond the requirements of that
state they are finding it necessary to
use Oregon as a dumping ground for
surplus stocks, to the injury of Ore--gnn
manufacturers. The freight
rate granted them. the. witness said,
permits of this policy being carried
into effect.
lntervenom Are Present.
Numerous intervenors, representing
mills in California, Washington, the
Itock Hill mills, are in attendance at
the hearing, which wilt be continued
today.
At the close of the cement rate
hearing, Mr. Butler will open the re
hearing of the sash, door and blind
case, which was heard originally in
1916, and in which manufacturers ask
for lower freight rates from Pacific
coast to eastern points.
John H. Lothrop, secretary and
manager of the Portland Traffic and
Transportation association, was fhe
chief witness at the opening session
on cement rates Saturday and again
yesterday, pleading for a readjust
ment on a more equitable basis. Paul
P. Farren, representing the United
States railroad administration, con
ducted cross-examination, and H. C.
Booth, counsel for the Southern Pa
cific railroad company, is contesting
the proposed rate reductioh and the
fixing of a mileage rate. He endeav
ored to show, during cross-examination
of Mr. Lothrop, that the Oregon
cement mills now enjoy a differential
over Washington and California mills
to Portland and Vancouver.
Hate lxperts Coming.
A. G. Clark, manager of the Asso
ciated Industries of Oregon, an
nounced that rate experts in the em
ploy of eastern cement concerns are
on the way to Portland to give tes
timony, and the San Francisco cham
ber of commerce also is represented.
The Beaver Portland Cement com
pany has petitioned to become a
party to the proceedngs and to offer
testimony if found necessary. The
petition is signed by D. L. Carpenter,
who points out that the Beaver plant
is in competition with that at Oswego
and entitled to be heard.

C. B. Simmons is chairman.
Mrs. Duryea spoke with eloquence
of the great need for help for the An
menians and told of concrete instances
in which America's aid had saved
hundreds from starvation and the
wanton cruelties of the Turk. "She
described the fate of the 26,000
women and children driven from one
town. She called the way by which
they traveled "the road of death and
disaster."
The appeal for interest in the cause
was given clearly, with deep feeling
and ended with this sentence; "The
task of caring for these Armenian
children is up to the women of Amer
ica. What are we going to do about
it?"

phy of events, the latter, he said, had
been the subject of his choice, the for
mer, what he had been asked to speak
on. He harmoffized the two cleverly.
He spoke of the feeling of unrest and
of war between labor and capital and
of the fact that America had fought
for peace "and yet there is no peace
and urged the women in these times
to stand firmly by the right, to keep
"level headed and calm in judgment,
helpful, constructive, ready to have a
part in keeping things steady."
Miss Elizabeth Fox, dean of women
of University of Oregon, just back

suggestion is timely. Several clubs

is well taken.

dent of this delightful little club.
Because the name "Oregon Con
gress of Mothers and Parent-Teacher
Associations" is so cumbersome, a
movement is under way to change the
name to "Oregon Parent-Teacher As
sociation." The idea is a good one.
The state organization is made up of
all the parent-teacher circles of the
state. As to the congress it is a part
of the national organization. It still
can be loyal to the national and do
more effective work if not hampered
with so long a name. The resolution
to change the name will come up be
fore the state convention of Medford.

"My dear Mrs. McCraekin: I write
to thank you personally, and the
Young Women's Association official
ly, for the valuable assistance ren
dered the troops at Camp Lewis and
the friends and relatives Of such of
ficers and men during the period Mai
l-July 31, of my command of that
camp. The services rendered by your
association , and by yourself since the
camp was first garrisoned In 1917
have doubtless been the Subject of
similar recognition.
"I believe the assistance rendered
the garrison in maintaining the
morale of officers and men during the
trying period of demobilization, when
so many of the permanent garrison
were clamoring for discharge because
of the thousands sent there for dis
charge, was more valuable than at
any other period of the camp's life.
"I hope various reports I forward
ed to the war department concerning
the valuable aid rendered by the Y.
W. C. A. have insured for the asso
ciation the appreciation which" Is due.
"For yourself accept heartfelt
gratitude and wishes for your happy
future."

DEMOCRATS' EYES OfJ
M100 OR PALMER
Speculation Rife in Oregon Oh
. Presidential Outlook.
PARTY PRIMARY IS LIKELY
Politicians Expect Preferential Bal
lots to Be Cast Unless Wilson
Breaks Tradition to Run.
Oregon democrats probably will
have a chance to express a choice un
der the presidential preferential pri
mary, to be held next spring. Unless
Woodrow Wilson throws tradition to
the winds and becomes a candidate
for a third term, there will be two
names on the ballot for the democrat
of this state to select from.
A. Mitchell Palmer, attorney-general
of the United States, and William
G. McAdoo, ex-railtoad dictator, and
ex-secretary of the treasury, will be
the contestants for Oregon's ten vote
In the national convention. Ten votes
are not to be sneezed at, and particu
larly when they can be gathered with
out much effort and a nominal ex
pense. "If the league of nations is ratified
by the senate," say local democrats,
"AIcAdoo's name will certainly appear
on the presidential preferential pri
mary ballot. If the league Is not rati
fied, then it Is probable that Mr. Wil
son will be a candidate to vindicate
his policies. If Mr. Wilson runs, and
this is not considered as probable,
Mr. McAdoo's name will go on the
ballot, and several more, perhaps, but
ilcAdoo'a will in any event."
Leaders Express Opinions.
This appears to be the consensus
of opinion among federal office hold
ers and among deserving democratic
leaders who are hot on the govern
ment payroll. Whether this matter
wfes fixed up while Mr. McAdoo was
in Oregon is not stated, but it is
known that he was in touch with
democrats while In the state who are
expected to look after his interests
when the presidential preferential
primary is held.
Not all Oregon democrats are
friendly to McAdoo. There are some
who feel kindly disposed toward Attorney-General
Palmer, and the word
they have received 'from Washing
ton. D. C. is to the effect that Mr.
Palmer will put up a hot fight in
the convention for the nomination.
Under the provisions of the presi
dential preferential primary, the dele
gates to the national convention are
supposed to carry out the wishes of
their party as expressed at the polls.
Thus, if Palmer receives more votes
than McAdoo in the Oregon primaries.
Palmer will be considered as- the
choice of the party in this state and
the delegates will be expected, if
they act in good faith, to cast their
10 votes for Palmer. Once the dele
gation is thus instructed, an aspirant
with a presidential boomlet does not
have to worry any more about the
10 Votes.
The field In Oregon Is open to
Palmer, McAdoo, Burleson, or any
other democrat who wants to garner
a block of votes.
Voting; Plan Outlined.
While anyone can be candidate for
delegate to the national conventions
of the republican or democratic par
ties, the democratic leaders are

plump man. also Le Grolis. assist
