I5ovles, President of Com pany, Tells of Changes Necessary to Permit Operations. By the beginning of the new year, not a wheel will be turning in the plants of the Northwest Steel com pany. Definite announcement to this effect was made yesterday by J. R. Bowles, president of the company. The reasons for the shut-down while contracts are available on every hand are given by Mr. Bowles as the labor situation throughout the coun try and the high trans-continental freight rate on shipbuilding steel. The yards could operate in spite of the freight rate, according to Mr. Bowles, if the labor situation were satisfac tory. "Though I am personally in favor of a 44-hour week," Mr. Bowles de clared, "we cannot operate under this handicap while men are working longer hours elsewhere in the coun try. Portland and Seattle cannot pay bjgrher wages than i,re paid on the Atlantic coast and In California. In Los Angeles the new high wages never have been paid, and men have gone back to work there at the old scale. The 'San Francisco agreement' has been abrogated by the operators of San Francisco, and now the men there are working at their former wages. "The north Pacific cities cannot meet this competition. The only hope of a revival of shipbuilding in Portland lies in a nationalization of shipbuild ing wages." lta'dicnls Become Menace. The rise of radicalism in the ranks of labor is the direct cause of the Impending shut-down, according to Mr. Bowles. The reds, he says, have gained control of the labor movement and are imposing demands which no employer can grant and survive. "The only prospect for a continua tion of labor unionism is for the radi cals to step down and out," he said. "The question of the closed shop must be dropped. The only closed shop possible is one with its doors closed and no work for anyone. The closed ehop foments radicalism and cannot be tolerated. The difficulty with the American Federation of Labor is that it is in the hands of radicals, and unless the radicals can be weeded out the federation will fall. The Amer ican people have stood just as much radicalism as they are inclined to. "It also will be necessary to curb the radical employer, but he can easily be reached by public opinion. "The principle of collective bar gaining is sound. It is admitted by all proper employers to be the cor rect way to deal with employes. An operator, however, should deal only with the employes of his own plant, who are represented by an individual who is directly interested in the one plant and in no other. Situation Must Clear. "No move toward resumption of hipbuilding will be made by the com pany until the situation clears so that a supply of labor and material can be depended upon. Not until a Btable labor situation prevails in the east and throughout the country will the doors of the Northwest Steel plant open. The plant, however, will not be dismantled, according to Mr. Bowles. Everything will be left as it is when work stops, so that operations can be resumed whenever a satisfactory situation prevails. For a single steel vessel of 8800 deadweight tons, Mr. Bowles pointed out, the difference in wages on the Atlantic coast and in Portland amounts to from $75,000 to $80,000 The difference in the freight rate on shipbuilding steel from the steel pro ducing centers to the Atlantic coast and from the .same centers to the Pacific coast amounts In a single 8800-ton vessel to $75,000, Mr. Bowles said. These two factors, combining to make an extra production cost of $150,000 for each ship, he said, leave the local yards unable to compete Liiuae in me east. LINE TO ISLES ASSURED MONTHLY SERVICE TO HAWAII FROM PORTLAND PROMISED f alls of Clyde to Be First of Yes feels to Put In Here With Cargo of Bulk Molasses. A monthly service between Port land and the Hawaiian islands is to be inaugurated with the sailing of the tanker Falls of Clyde, now on passage rrom Milo to Portland with a cargo of bulk molasses, it was announced yes- I terday by Richard Evans, local man ager for Parrott & Co., San Francisco importers and exporters, who are the operators of the vessel. The Falls of Clyde, which is the first ship to carry cargo of bulk molasses to this port, is expected to arrive about De cember 1. Work on the six steel stor age tanks at the St. Johns municipal terminal is being pushed to have them in readiness to receive this cargo. The first cargoes to Portland from the islands in the new direct service will consist of bulk molasses. There is also a quantity of fruit and some re fined sugar to come this way, Mr. Evans said. An abundance of freight is offering for outward cargoes from Portland, according to Mr. Evans, and the only difficulty will be in the matter of return cargoes. Aside from the molas ses, fruit and sugar, for which there is a ready market here, the principal commodity to be shipped is hardwood ties, which are used by railroads in the desert country of the south. Some of the ships chartered by Parrott & Co. will probably take part cargoes of these ties to San Pedro and continue to Portland with the remainder of their freight. Bulk molasses imported here is to be used largely for the manufacture of livestock feed. IXIOX TO CONTRACT JOBS San Francisco Striking Stevedores to Open Own Agency. SAN" FRAN'CISCO, Nov. 14. The Higgers and Stevedores union has de cided to open its own agency for con tracting stevedoring, instead of tb.e members getting jobs through steve doring companies. This new turn in the stevedores strike was preceded by an announce ment of the Waterfront Employers' Union yesterday breaking off all con ference with the striking longshoremen. Hull 3 8 to Be Launched Monday. Hull No. 38 of the Northwest Steel company, which with another vessel on the ways of this company and two under construction by the Columbia River Shipbuilding corporation, has been sold to the Green Star line of New York, will be launched Monday, it was announcer Thursday by J. R Bowles, president of the Northwest Steel company. The builders have telegraphed the owners, asking what name shall be given the vessel, and who shall be the sponsor. Xibiimaha Is Checked In. The 9500-ton steel steamship Nish maha. built by the G. M. Standifer Construction corporation. was checked in Thursday by the Pacific Steamship company, to whom she has has been assigned for operation for the Emergency Fleet corporation. It is expected that the Nishmaha will carry flour to the Atlantic, though no loading orders have been received as yet from the operations division. The vessel is lying at municipal dock No. 1, where she will take on stores. World Freight Acceptable. The Oregon-Pacific company, a local maritime concern. Is now prepared to deliver freight in any port of the world, it was announced Thursday by George Powell, manager of the com pany. Arrangements have been made, he said, with John W. Chapman, San Francisco representative of the com pany, to place parcel freight on tramp steamers sailing from the bay port tj all parts of the world and to charter steamers for full cargoes whenever sufficient tonnage is offered.

Boundaries of the city of Portland will be extended to include the entire peninsula district and give the city frontage on the Columbia river if a movement started by the commission of docks at its meeting yesterday morning finds favor at the next gen eral election and at the next session of the state legislature. A resolution was adopted at the meeting requesting the city attorney to draw up an act extending the pres ent eastern city boundary line north ward to the Columbia river and in cluding all that portion of the penin sula beyond St. Johns, which is not at present a part of the city. This attempt to textend the city limits, if successful, will give Portland almost as much frontage on the Columbia river as on the Willamette. All of the Swift industrial district would be in cluded, but not Hayden Island. Progress on Projects Shown. The monthly report of G. L.

Trusses for the remaining 600 feet have been framed and all trusses for the pier shed extension will be erected in ten days. Work on the six steel tanks for the storage of vegetable oils has been delayed by labor troubles, but it is now believed that satisfactory prog ress will be made. An effort will be made to have enough of the tanks ready to take the cargo of 10,000 bar rels of bulk molasses coming in the tankship Falls of Clyde, which is now on passage to Portland from Hilo. The total revenue from the four municipal docks and terminals for the month of October was $16,797.72. Though this amount is $10,000 less than the revenue reported for Sep tember, it was brought out that the business for the past month was really as great as for September, tnouf,h bills cannot be collected until ca i , vx o a t c ihv cu uu inc uulas. The warehouse of the Panama cooperage works at 228 Front street was condemned by the commission on receipt of a communication from the water front committee- stating that the building is more than 40 per cent deteriorated.

In five minutes $10,500 wa raised in stock subscriptions in the Pacific International Livestock exposition yesterday at an eleventh-hour lunch eon called by Mayor Baker to clear the stock show's $300,000 pavilion of debt for its official opening: on Mon day. More than 200 of Portland's lead ing business men and financiers were present, and when Vice-President E. G. Crawford, who presided, issued a call for eubscriptions more than one-fourth of the deficit was wiped out. Some consternation was felt when the purpose of the meeting was learned. Invitations signed by Mayor Baker asked attendance at a luncheon to "consider a matter of very great importance. A rumor circulaiea that the meeting was to consider action relative to the I. W. W. sitution and the Centralis, outrage and a big at tendance followed. Mayor Baker ex pressed his regret that the misunder standing had occurred and made a rousing talk on "Americanism" to ful fill the expectations of many who had come, following which the stock ehow was considered.

A big consignment of Holstein cat tle arrived yesterday from the famous Carnation farm near Seattle, owned by K. H. Stuart, comprising several carloads of the finest Holsteins in the country. In this notable herd are two diminutive animals which are sure of much attention from next week's stock show crowds. These are two little calves, one just a month old, and the other only a week old. They have the distinction of being the first son and daughter of the world's highest priced bull, Carna tion King Sylvia, for whom Mr. Stuart paid $106,000 a little more than a year ago, when the animal was only 9 months old. A trainload of purebred stock is now on its way from Lewiston to Portland, and is expected to arrive tonight or tomorrow morning. There are 35 cars in this special Pacific International train, carrying all the winners from the Spokane and l-,ewis-ton fairs, many of the exhibits be ing from Montana, Wyoming and Utah.

It would cost only $2800 to open Kelly Butte rockpiie, estimated Road master Eatchel yesterday. Considerable pressure is being brought to bear to convince the county commissioners of the need of reopening the old rock quarry as a punitive measure to lessen the wave of petty crime and to aiscouiage local I. W. W. The rock crusher is old and in bad condition but can be used this year. it is believed. Roadmaster Eatchel is including J4000 in his budget for next year with which to buy a new crusher. Sheriff Hurlburt does not intend to send any prisoners to the Kelly Butte jail, which is being renovated, until the county jail overflows, as the expense will be considerable without any income to the county through the sale of crushed rock if the rockpile is not operated. One reason the commissioners are said to be hesitating at reopening the rockpile is Sheriff Hurlburfs desire to pay the prisoners 50 cents a day for their work.
