PEACE FOUND IMPOSSIBLE Finland to Aid Yudenitoh With 3 0,0 0 0 Volunteers In Attempt to "Take Petrograd. LONDON', Nov. 14. The bolshevik! captured Yamburg, 68 miles southwest ot Petrograd. this afternoon, accord Ins to a wireless dispatch received here this eVenlng from Moscow. The bolsheviKl have been over thrown in Brest-Litovsk, a soviet dis patch from Moscow today admits. After fighting the insurgents there .for eight days, the- dispatch says the bolsheviki withdrew. HELSIN'GFORS, Finland. Nov. 13. (By the Associated Press.) The Baltic states conference at Dorpat has been advised that Finland has decided to aid General Yudenitch with 30,000 volunteers in a new attempt to take Potrograd within the next few weeks. This development may seriously in terfere with and perhaps speedily bring to an end the efforts of the Baltic states delegates to reach an agreement with the Russian bolshe viki. IVace FoBnd 'ImpowtiMe. A delegate to the conference inti mated to the correspondent that such (treat pressure had been suddenly brought upon the conferees- that it would be impossible to attempt to' ne gotiate a peace with the bolsheviki. Reports here are that the pressure came from England and France. 'It is possible that tomorrow will be the last day of the conference," eaid the Informant of the Associated Press correspondent with regard to the changed situation. Asked as -to the nature of pressure which was al leged to have been brought to jDear upon the conference, the delegate said: "Pressure can be exercised by an other means than a blockade, which would be rather crude. There are a hundred ways, including financial and economic methods." The delegate emphasized the asser tion that there were 200,000 German troops in east Prussia, saying: "They were permitted to occupy the Baltic states." Delejrates Change Demeanor. A great change was apparent in the demeanor of the delegates when they emerged from this evening's confer nce, which was a long one. They ap peared to be depressed and even de jected. WASHINGTON'. Nov. 14. Because of the eerious lack of food in bolshe-viki-controlled Russia and other eco nomic difficulties experienced by the soviet government, not much real en thusiasm Is felt in Moscow over the forward movement of the bolshevik forces, according to advices received today by the state department. TKo itiGnolnhcs c a i A t Vi o t ino tr fVa ' lack of morale in the soviet armies, Trotzky recently ordered forces fol lowing up the bolshevik armies to fire on any "red" soldiers who fell back. The soviet forces were said to number only 200,000 men, distributed on the various fronts. WILSON PUBLIC CHAMPION (Continued From First Page.) several of hts labor friends hailed' him with "Hello, Jack." the only ac- jtnowieagment or which was a noa of the head and a slight tilt of the cigar which he carried in his right hand. He was well dressed and his per sonal appearance was of the type of the young and able country lawyer on the road to a great future. Secretary Green showed much more Interest and better nature toward everything going on. He was dressed to the fall fasiiion plates and seemed like a person of strong social quali ties. There was nothing interesting about the operators" group. Every one who has witnessed a bankers' convention knows what they looked like. The miners present brought the specta tor to the realization that the Ameri can laboring man has been raising his level by jumps in the last few years. They were sleek and well fed and wore none of the belligerent or de jected expression that some might picture. . It is expected that when the con ference reconvenes tomorrow nego tiations will be hastened and what ever success comes of the meeting, the credit will be due to the plain speaking of Secretary Wilson, coal miner, union leader, and member of the cabinet, but above all else the people's advocate. STRIKE PENALTY GUT FROM RAILWAY BILL Compulsory Arbitration Voted Out by House. VOLUNTARY PLAN WINS WIRE OPERATION COSTLY GOVERNMENT HAS BILL OF MILLIONS TO PAY. . yet recovered from the destruction of war we cannot afford to try the experiment. "I want to say to you also that a 60 per cent increase in wages, which is one of your demands, is an impos sibility. A 60 per cent wage increase will put the miners out of line with the rest of the workers. Fuel enters into the cost of living from a thou sand different angles." Then he showed how such an increase would fall on all of the people, including other workers. Turning to the coal operators, he said: "1 want to eay to you that the etandpat position heretofore taken by the operators is also an impossibility." He reiterated the government's con tention that the wartime contract with the miners is still in legal ex istence, but said: People Not Shj locks. "I want you to understand that the people of the United States are not Shylocke; they are not insisting on the technical provisions of this bond made when conditions were different. Notwithstanding this bond, the cost of living has increased, falling upon the miners as well as other classes." Advising that the two sides to the controversy get together at once and negotiate a new wage scale, he con tinued: "1 presume some of you will be ready to hurl rocks at the other and shout "bolsheviki," 'I. W. W.'- and 'reds,' and that some will call the other side 'coal barons," 'profiteers' and "taskmasters." We will take that for granted for the purpose of the record, but the public interest de mands that you get together and set tle your differences." P. L. Penna. of Terre Haute, Ind., representing the central competitive field operators, took the floor in a most conciliatory speech, standing al most at the side of Secretary Green and in three feet of Secretary Lewis, but neither of them looked at him, though he sought to exchange glances. Lewia Intellectual Looking. President Lewis appeared to be conscious that he was the center of all the glances from every quarter of the auditorium, and even the two big mo;ie cameras on the stage were taking aim at him every second. It should be said that he made a good impression, not on account of any charm in his personal manner, be cause he carried himself with an air of sullenness, but because of r.n in-, tellectual-looking head. Some say he is a bolshevik and that his looks convict him. If so the dis tinguished and able senator from Idaho, William Edgar Borah, also stands convicted. Lewis has the Borah head, with eyes deep set and overhanging eyebrows. The speech which he made would have done credit to the best lawyer in the land. There was nothing explosive about it. It was as guarded as if the Indian apolis injunction were still standing, or "lying," as the lawyers insist on calling it. It was all business. . He spoke in the voice of the orator and with an entire absence, of stage fright. He was the most conciliatory of the speakers. He made a strong point in saying that the main feature of the plan of negotiation proposed by Secretary Wilson was a principle for which he had always contended in his union. From the time he entered the hall until he left, a smile never escaped his lips. As he walked down the aisle Report for Period, of War Time Control Shows Government Ob- -ligation or $1 1,118,237. WASHINGTON. Nov". 14. War time operation of the telephone and tele graph systems of the country cost the federal government $f4,418.237, according to a report to Postmaster General Burleson transmitted to con gress by President Wilson. . This sum represents the difference between the net earnings of the companies taken over and -.the compensation guaranteed by the government. No figures as to the operation of the cable systems, which were under federal control for six months, were given, Mr. Burleson explaining that the reports from the companies had not yet been received. Total net earnings of the telephone and telegraph lines during federal control were reported at $70,3S7,532, while the compensation as.sured was $S3, 055.769. The total deficit included an estimated $3,000,000 -for settlement of future claims. Small independent companies operated by the govern ment reported a surplus of $57.4l'8. Reported deficits of the American Telephone & Telegraph company, operating 36 subsidiary compiinies, were $9,290,170.31, while the Western Union Telegraph company asked :an adjustment of 5&21.5U. The government claim against the Postal Telegraph & Cable company was listed at $2,123,392. "If the unadjusted claims of the government against the .Mackay com panies be taken into consideration," said Mr. Burleson, "the estimated ob ligations of the government would ie substantially reduced." NEW YORK, Nov. 14. Clarence H. Mackay, president of the Postal Telegraph-Cable company, last night made public a letter he had written to Postmaster-General Burleson declin ing to send a check for $2,349,195.20, which Mackay asserted would be "the difference between the $4,029, 195.50 our company earned from August 1, 1918, to August 1, 1919, and $1,680,000, the award which you claim to have made us. .."Apparently you are short of funds to pay the Western Union." Mackay wrote, "and you, therefore, demand $2,349,195.20 of our profits in order that you may pay them to the West ern Union. This means that you wish to use our profits to pay Western Union losses." SENATE ACTION AWAITED GERMAN DELEGATES DELAY ARRIVAL IN PARIS. Representatives Are Vested Witli Authority- to Sign Protocol, as Well as Ratification. Conciliation Method in Force Dur-Ing- War and Indorsed by Labor Is Substituted. WASHINGTON, Nov. 14. Railroad workers scored a complete victory in the house today through incorpora tion of their plant tor voluntary con ciliation of labor disputes in the Esch bill. The house rejected a plan of compulsory arbitration, including an anti-strike provision, and also the plan written into the bill by the house interstate commerce committee, which was described as a "middle ground" between that adopted and compulsory arbitration. No direct vote on the anti-strike proposal was taken. On both votes the proponents of the union's plan won by large majorities. First, by a vote of 151 to 75, the house substituted the unions' plan for com pulsory arbitration, and then, 161 to 108, cast aside the committee plan for that indorsed by the workers. Final action came after practically the entire day had been devoted to debate of the three plans and after adoption of the workers' plan, re newed efforts to include the anti strike provision met with defeat through parliamentary tactics. Worken Divided Into ClaMMes. In brief, the plan divides the rail road workers into three classes and for each it establishes an adjustment board and an appeal commission. No penalty against strike or lockout is imposed and membership on all Bix boards would be restricted to the workers and their employers and divided equally between them. Both the roads and the" employes would be directed" by the plan, as written into the bill,- "to exert every reasonable effort and adopt every available means to avoid an inter ruption" of traffic, and to this end the three boards of adjustment would be created, these being substantially the same as those existing under the railroad administration. The three adjustment boards would each deal with the disputes of certain classes of the 14 railway unions. One board would include representatives of the four big brotherhoods the engineers, the firemen, the conduc tors and the trainmen: another would include the machinists, tb,e. boiler makers, the blacksmiths, the car men, the sheetmetal workers, and the elec trical workers: and the third would include the telegraphers, the switch men, the railway clerks and the way and shop laborers. Railway execu tives would name four, six and- four representatives, respectively, as mem bers of tljes. boards. Body of Appeal Provided. Corresponding to each board, there also would be set up a commission to consider appeals, which cor'.", be sent tj them by half the members of a board. These commissions would be of the same size as the boards, with the select method of choosing mem bers obtaining, but with duality .of niembTTship between boards and com missions prohibited. Headquarters of all six tribunals would be in Wash ington. ... After determining the machinery for adjusting labor disputes, the house became involved a more bitter fight, centering about extension of the in terstate commerce commission au thority in regulating car service, which was carried into the night ses sion. Before the fight became sharp, however, the house, without objection, approved a change in existing com merce law so that the Interstate com merce commission may upon its own initiative compel a division of Joint rates so as not to "unduly prefer or prejudice any participating car rier.". ' SIXNOTT ASKS FAIR PJLAY BY ARXO DOSCH-FLKUROT. (Copyright by the New York World. Pub lished by Arrangement. . PARIS, Nov. 14. (Special Cable.) German delegates who have the addi tional authority necessary to sign the protocol and at tne same time to sign the process verbal of the ratification of the treaty will arrive in Paris at the end of this week. Originally they were expected to arrive on NdVember 10, as the note to Germany from the supreme council set that date. The date was set, however, in expectation of the deposit of the treaty on No vember 11, but time has been allowed to drift because the council wants to delay ratification, if possible, until the United States senate ratifies, so making united action. The Germans took advantage of this to send additionally qualified repre senatives because, evidently, they were informed by their representa tives already in Paris that there was no hurry about coming, as the deposit of the treaty was being delayed on account of the United States senate. The German press has complained of the additional demands in the protocol as weakening the present government. but no word has reached the Ameri can delegation at the peace confer ence indicating that the Germans have no intention of refusing to sign the protocol. j ine protocol contains penalties which were added to the treaty prin cipally on account of the Scapa Flow subterfuge, which relates chiefly to the delivery of submarine and aero plane machinery. This must be done within ten days of signing the pro tocol or, the- events being simulta neous, within ten days of the. deposit of the treaty; Compulsory Arbitration Amend- ment Is Opposed. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Washington. Nov. 14.- Representa tive Sinnott spoke today in opposi tion to the Webster amendment to the Esch railroad bill, which provided for compulsory arbitration and practical ly wrote the Danbury hatters' deci sion into the proposed new railroad law. Sir. Sinnott said: "It is manifestly gross, unjust and unfair discrimination in the differ ence between the legal sanction and remedy granted against the union and its members and the legal sanction and remedy granted against the car rier for a violation of the provisions of tn" bill. The Remedy against the unions is both against the unions and the individual property' of the mem bers thereof, even though the mem bers may be wholly innocent, having voted against and not participating in the strike or wrongdoing. "The remedy and the legal sanction against the carrier is solely against the corporation and not against the members or stockholders of the car riers. - 1 look upon the s'tockholder of the canter for the purposes of -this b'll as analogous to the member of the union, and what is sauce for "the goose ought to be sauce for the gan der. I fenture to say that if a taw were proposed here in this house to abolish the ordinary limitations of liability of a stockholder of a corpo ration, it would not be considered, it would not be tolerated for one mo ment in the house. Let us treat both li:bor and capital with even-handed justice." Post Honors III HeroJ GRANTS PASS. Or.. Nov. 14.(Spe cial.)

Adv, joys the services of the only privately owned system Jn the United States main taining an eight-hour day. Consequently a higher rate per hour is necessary to en able an employe working for only eight hours to receive a monthly income corre sponding to that of an employe working at a lower hourly rate for nine or ten hours. Upon the hearing much stress was laid by the employes upon a comparison be tween the rates of wages In force In Seat tle and those in force In- Portland. It appeared that the Seattle lines are munici pally owned and operated, the effect ot which will be hereafter considered. It appeared that Seattle is putting in effect a system of wage adjustment dif fering from that in Portland in that in stead of prescribing a lower rate at the commencement of employment and higher rates after three months and one year, the rates vary according to a system of merit and damerit marks. The maximum rate is $o.'2o per day, or cents per hour, and the minimum Is $4.75 per day, or 5U.ft cents per hour. When by the ap plication of demerits a Seattle employe's wage falls below $4.75 per day, his dis charge automatically follows. Seattle Rate Higher. Reliable data furnished to this board In dicates that the average hourly rate ap plicable in Seattle under this adjustment, which, like Portland, ts on an eight-hour basis, is substantially less than the max imum of C5.5 ceita per hour as compared with an average rate of G1.5 cents In Port land, which will be produced by this award. - - This board has not ' raised the Portland rate to the full level of the Seattle rate because'of the following considerations: (a) The financial condlUon of the Port land company as compared with the mu nicipal fund n Seattle which is available for transportation expense. (b; An effort has been made to adjust the rates fixed by this award In accord ance with: -the award of the war labor board .of August, 1919. taking account of the increase in the cost of living since that time. c) The cost of living Is somewhat less in Portland than In Seattle. Financial Condition of Company, : Full data were presented to the board showing the present financial condition of the Portland Kailway, i-ight & Power com pany. For" the purpose merely of suggesting possible solutions, it may not be out of place to incorporate in this report certain comparative data applying to tieatue and Portland which the parties brought before this board. The Seattle municipal street railway department w relieved from the following items which are borne directly b the Portland cmupany: General taxes, franchise fees, legal de partment and accounting expense (assumed in Seattle by other city departments! . bridge tolls, paving (assumed in Seattle by street department). The aggregate of these expenses in Portland amounts approximately to $0OU, 00O per annum. It further appears that Seattle is charg ing no depreciation on its street iai'.way system, while the Portland company is sub ject to depreciation charge of juO per year. Furthermore, it appears that Seattle la now paying from -the general fund to the street railway department approximately $."0,000 per year for carrying city employes. In Portland firemen and policemen fie carried free. Adjustment Is Alternative. In effect the in ureases in the cost of operating the Seattle system are thus as sun ed by the taxpayers, and unl ss the Portland public desires to ui-dertake the necessary Inventi ient ineltlent to actiuirin tiie street railwr y proper ty and tlie con sequent obligations of operation, some ad justment of revenue or expense wouid ap pear to be th ci.ly alternative. ThW board does not conceive that it is its proper fuiution to do more in this regard than to liht the possibilities of in creasing revenue and decreasing expend i. tures, ill without i wonun ndailon, but in order that the public may consider the necessary effect of this award and give cjnsidera:ion to ways and means of insur ii g a continuance of service. Possibilities of Increasing Revenue. 1 . Incre scd fares. 2. Charge for transfers. 3. Limiting length of rid-for one fare. 4. Payment of lure by city for firemen and po. icemen. Possibilities of Reducing Expenditures. 1. Kelief from bridge tolls. 'Z. Kelief from franchise fees. 3. Reduction of taxes. 4. Relief from paving obligations. 5. Reduction of service. It has appeared to this board that the prosperity of the people of Portland would be seriously - affected by the insolvency and bankruptcy of a utility which plays such an important part in our industrial and commercial activity, and that the board wouid fail in its duty to the public it it should withhold a clear and comprehen sive statement Of the facts brought out an its hearings, which, with their obvious results, are of such importance to the public generally. , In conclusion, the board desires to em phasize the satisfaction felt by its several members in the clear and unmistakable evidence of the. cordial and friendly rela tions which was manifest at all the hear ings between the representatives of thO' company and its employes. In times of strained relations between many employ ers and their employes, it Is a matter for mutual and, as wtfll, for public congratu lation that such an attitude, born of fair ness on each side, can be maintained.

In presenting its findings, the arbi tration board said in part: In undertaking to reach a determination which would be just to the employes and to the company, the members of the board have been unanimous in the opinion that they owed a duty to the public as well. It" has seemed self-evident that In any event the employes are entitled to a living wage and to employment under conditions conducive to the development and main tenance of good citizenship, which neces sarily involves the question of the num ber of hours of daily service. It has also seemed clear that It 'would be unjust to the company to impo;.e an added financial burden of such a character that no relief could be af forded by municipal action or by action of the public service commission and which would inevitably lead to bank ruptcy. The public is deeply concerned with both these features of the matter, namely. Jus tice to the men and Justice to the com pany, and It Is also vitally concerned with the operation of the transportation prop erty and the furnishing of service at rates not unduly higher than the rates charged for similar service in the neighboring cities of the Pacific coast If local conditions make this possible.

WAGEMACH WTO PACIFY LABOR URGED Guarantee, for Industrial Jus tice Is Proposed. END OF CLASS RULE SEEN Charles E. Hughes Declares Time Is at Hand to Establish "An- . tidote for Bolshevism." PITTSBURG.. Pa.. Nov. 14. Machin ery for industrial justice -which -would prevent the interruption of services essential to the community was advo cated tonight by Charles E. Hughes in an address on "The Antidote for Bolshevism" at the world's Christian citizenship conference. Referring? to public serva.nts. trans portation and basic industries, he said: "If the community provided just means for the settlement of complaints and for the redress of wrongs which might be suffered by thos engaged in these essential activities, we should have a right to prevent concerted at tempt that is, through any sort of commission to hold up the commu nity and enforce demands under threat of widespread suffering and want." For industrial activity outside the essential services he urged collective bargaining -with decisions binding in law. End of Class Rule Foreseen. "The time is at hand," he said, "when we must furnish suitable ma chinery for industrial justice, at least so far as those vital enterprises are concerned upon which our life de pends. The processes of justice imply that the parties to the dispute cannot take the law into their own hands and sacrifice the peace and well-be-inj? of the community to their con tentions. "With the apostles of violence silenced, the schemes of inciters to disorder and revolution frustrated, law and order preserved, -with an in flexible demand for loyalty on the part of the public servants, with pro vision for the peaceful and just set tlement of industrial disputes, thus making possible effective measures against interruption of essential serv ices to the community, we should go far towards making class rule im possible. "We" have made little progress In providing the machinery for indus trial justice and in this, respect -we are still uncivilized. We are still at the - Btape corresponding to .that of trial by battle and trial by ordeal in the early law of procedure. But we cannot go on indefinitely in this way. Collective UarKatnf ntf Favorrd. "What is absolutely necessary, as I have pointed out in the case of the basic industries upon which the com munity's life depends, is clearly ad visable throughout the field of in dustrial activity, although -when the vital interest of the community is not involved the plan should not go further than to facilitate and enforce agreements. "I believe in the recognition of the right of collective bargaining on the part of labor through representatives of their own choosing. The qualifi cations may be made - that these should be proper representatives and not $.hose who aim at the demoraliza tion of our industrial life and use labor disputes as a means to promote sinister designs. "It is a hardy issue that survives the painstaking examination of the facts and it cannot be doubted that the provision of representative instru mentalities of conference and concil iation will be of the greatest benefit to capital as well as to labor. "While the same sanctions may not be Justified when the interests of the community are not so vitally con cerned as in the case of public util ities and the basic industrials, there should bo the greatest readiness to secure voluntary co-operation through boards and representative councils by which disputes may be settled peacefully. Fair inquiry should result In agreement and agree ments, when made, should be binding and enforced under provisions of law." Mr. Hughes favored sharing of ex cess profits with labor, but opposed co-operative management. Our Store Opens at 9 A. Af. CAR COMPANY WINS SUIT Mrs. Lazelle Loses $15,000 'When Negligence Is Shown.
