NEW LEADER COMES
TO
Lee Roy E. Keeley, Attorney,
Asserts Himself.
COMMUNIST PLANK ISSUE
Meeting1 of Organization Xearly
Breaks Cp in Riot Because of
Red. Manipulations.
Another self-asserted leader, in the
person of Lee Roy E. Keeley. a Port
land attorney, has come to the front
to head the host of radicals in the
Portland Central Labor council, ac
cording to this week's issue of the
Oregon Labor Press, which charges
Keeley with attempting to use organ
ized labor in an effort to further his
own political and personal ends.
The Thursday night meeting of the
council, from which newspaper re
porters were barred, was one of the
stormiest meetings in the history of
the council, and nearly broke up in a
riot because of the actions of Keeley
and the radicals who stood with him.
say conservative union officials who
were at the meeting.
Talks Are Counted.
Keeley wanted the council to adopt
tn of the major planks in the plat
form of the un-American communist
labor party by amending the consti
tution to prohibit any person holding
an appointive or elective public of
fice from holding- any office in the
Central Labor council or from serving
en any committee of the council.
According to the Labor Press. Kee
ley, by actual count, talked 32 times
in support of His motion, and his ad
dress is said by those present to have
been as fiery and as surcharged with
radical ideas as were the most radi
cal orations of Joseph Laundy. now
under indictment for criminal syndi
calism; Charles Saunders, recently de
ported to Canada as an undesirable
alien; Floyd' Hyde, now under arrest
as a "red," and others who at times
have led the radical forces on the
floor of the labor council;
After their efforts to make this
amendment to the labor council con
stitution had failed, the radicals
trained their forensic guns op C. M.
Rynerson, editor of the Labor Press,
and succeeded- in putting through a
motion, by a vote of 60 to 67, refusing
to ratify any contract which the
board of control might make with
Editor Kynerson for the coming year.
Feeling- la Tense.
So titter was the debate on the
two questions that the meeting con
tinued until well past midnight, when
it broke up on the verge of a riot.
Although it was the regular night to
nominate officers of the council for
the ensuing year, this action could
not be taken because of the "red"
control of the meeting. Nominations
will be made next Thursday night.
The Labor Press, in commenting
-upon Lee Roy Keeley's advent into
the radical leadership in the labor
council, says:
"His new-born desire to lead the
labor movement led Keeley to make
a number of wild and reckless state
ments, and finally his monopolizing
the time of the council for the ad
vancement of his personal spites
began to pall on some of those who
were at first In sympathy with some
of his ideas.
"Keeley has publicly stated his in
tention of becoming a candidate for
some public office and asking the in
dorsement of the central labor coun
cil." Motive la Shown.
Keeley is the attorney who gained
considerable notoriety last summer
when he filed charges against the
Industrial accident commission. In
vestigation showed his complaint
against the commission was due prin
cipally to the fact that they blocked
bis efforts to procure a major part
of the compensation which had been
awarded to a widow because of the
death of her husband. Keeley is a
delegate to the central labor council
Xrom. a federal employes' union.

Greater Leeway in Raising- Funds
for 'aval Base Site to Be
Sought at Session
ASTORIA. Or., Jan. 9. (Special.)
To enable the port of Astoria to in
crease its bond issue to raise funds
for the purchase of the site of the
proposed naval base which is to be
presented to the government, and also
to continue projected port improve
ments, a b'll will be introduced at the
special session of the legislature by
fcenator Norblad.
This action was decided: upon at a
conference held yesterday by the port
commission, its attorney and the
members of the Clatsop county legis
lative delegation.
The commission submitted a list of
the harbor improvement projects
contemplated for the future, includ
ing the ultimate extension of the
belt line railroad to all the indus
trial sites about the harbor and the
construction of a 15,000 ton drydock
with estimates of cost amounting to
13,810,000.
Under the original port act the
commission is authorized to issue
bonds equal to 10 per cent of the
assessed valuation of the taxable
property in the port, or in the sum of
J3. 000. 000. The new bill provides that
this limit be increased to 15 per cent.
As the legislature will call a special
state election at the same time as the
primaries are held in May. this cues
tion can be submitted to the people of
Clatsop county then.

MAY ROBSON WOULD BAR ALL
TEARS FROM MIMIC WORLD
Impersonator of "Tish" Believes Theater Is No Place to Go to "Enjoy"
One's Self by Weeping and Wailing.
BY LEONE CASS BAER.
MAT ROBSON eays that she hopes
when she retires permanently
to knit socks beside a fireplace
that her friends of the theater days
will remember her for something be
sides the color of her eyes or her hair
or the sound of her voice or some
trick or personal appeal.
"I like to think that I have bullded
mine house on the solid rock of
achievement rather than the shifting
sands of popularity," she said. Also
she added that the hour of permanent
retirement to a fireside is not ap
proaching soon and that as long as
her public wants to see her doing
funny old ladies she will still tread
the boards.
Xn the meantime she knits miles
upon miles of socks. Every time I
have interviewed May Robson her
hands and lap have been .filled with
yarn being magically made into some
thing for somebody else. It's a
sweater or a muffler for a little grand
Bon, or a muffler for some stage
hand in Dayton, O., who had an awful
cold Just from having no muffler the
week she played his town, or else it's
a knitted petticoat for the great aunt
of someone in the company, or socks
Tor her husband, who is a throat spe
cialist In New York. During the war
she knit for the soldiers and nurses.
Invariably she introduces her knit
ting into the plot of whatever play
she is in. Even as "Tish," in her
present play, she trots out a eock and
puris and counts.
May Robson says that her favorite
play is whatever play she is appear
ing in at the moment you ask her
which one she likes best. Just now
it is "Tish." Every time she plays
the role she is adding more of May
Robson and subtracting some of Mary
Roberts Rlnehart. -For instance, one
of her best laugh getters is Tish's
admonition, "Don't say I've gone to
town. There's no need to lie about
it. JuBt say I'm not home" (which
was equally an untruth).
This line has been used in two
other plays of Miss Robson's. "I hear
a clever bit of repartee and I remem
ber it and put it into the dialogue of
the play. Sometimes I forget to tell

Threatened Rock Fall at Elk Rock
Is Removed.
Cars of the Southern Pacific elec

pension of traffic for several days
owing to falling rock which threa
tened the safety of the track at Elk
Rock, where a bluff overhangs the
tracks and the river.
During the interrupted service the
trains have run to Elk Rock, where

ELABORATE OUTDOOR
L
Innovation for Array of Choice
Blooms Decided On.
DATES ARE NOT YET FIXED
Portland Society Limits Exhibitions
to Own, Members Dr. Sulli-
ger Urges' Test Gardens.
An elaborate, magnificent, out-of-door
exhibition of the choicest blooms
its members can produce is the inno
vation decided upon last night by the
Portland Rose society at a meeting
held in the green room of the Cham
ber of Commerce. It is planned to
hold the novel showing of the world's
greatest city of roses on Madison, in
the block between West Park and
Tenth streets, which will "tie" it into
the wonderland of beauty in the
south plazas, known to the myriads
of people who visit Portland as the
festival center.
Necessity is the chief cause of the
departure in the staging of the show.
As the imperial council of the Mystic
Shrine, thousands Btrong, will be in
session in Portland. Indoor space can
not be found and the exhibition must
be held outdoors. '
The members of the committee in
charge of location, composed of J. A.
Currey, H. J. Blaesing and C. P. Key
ser, superintendent of parks, devised
the plan of the open-air show. The
proposal was unanimously approved
by those present, including many of
the city's most experienced rosarians
and florists.
Da tea Not Fixed.
Dates for the rose show were not
definitely fixed, but they will be set
as early as possible.
Because the Portland Rose society
has increased its membership largely
since last season, it was announced,
this year's show will be confined to
its own members and no others will
be permitted to exhibit.
"Portland, the Rose Mecca," is the
title which Dr. Spencer S. Sulliger,
now of Kent, Wash., but for many
years superintendent of the Vancou
ver district of the Methodist Episco
pal church, gave to this, city last night
in his address as speaker of the even
ing. Dr. Sulliger, who ia a rosarian of
more than national repute and who
has acted as a judge at the Portland
rose shows for many years, declared
nothing has been-of such great ad
vertising value to the city as the rose.
He said that not even in his visit to
the famed rose show of London had
he seen anything to surpass the beau
ties grown here.
Of untold value to Portland as a
culture feature, said Dr. Sulliger, are
the test gardens recently established
here and which are now being de
veloped and are soon to give to the
world some wonder roses. Nothing
ever done in this city in rose culture,
he said, will be half as great as the
step it has taken in the working out
of this feature.
Information Center Vrged.
That the rose test gardens should
become the world's center for infor
mation concerning "the queen of
flowers" was the declaration of Dr.
Sulliger.
"I want to see you . put in those
gardens a library such 'as no other
city in the world has one where
every bit of literature on tho rose, in
poetry and prose, may be had; where
Information of every kind about the
rose may be found, so that the world
may call upon you and get what it
wants to know about the rose, from
every angle classification, cultiva
tion, preparation of soil, fertilization,
disease prevention and treatment."

At a banquet and meeting of the

civic clubs, held last night at the
Benson hotel, Marshall N. Dana, re
tiring president of tho Portland Ad
club, and also the retiring president
or tne presidents council, was re

year. Fred W. German, new president
or tne Portland Realty board, was
elected secretary of the council, to
succeed Herman Von Borstel. who, as
the retiring president of the realty
board, leaves the active membership
or tne council.
In order to re-elect Mr. Dana as
president of the council it was neces
sary to pass a ruling that the posi
tion of president of, the presidents'
council would be open to any presi
dent or past president of a Portland
civic club. This ruling passed unan
lmously upon motion of Charles Berg
of the members' council of the Cham
ber of Commerce, and Immediately
afterwards Mr. Dana was elected by
unanimous vote. In spite of the elec
tion of Mr. Dana to the presidency
of the council, the membership of the
council was not otherwise extended,
but will continue to be limited, with
the exception of the president, to the
active presidents of the civic clubs
only. A motion that the past presi
dents of the civic clubs be admitted
to associate membership in the coun

Tho budget of the inter-church world

the world, was approved today at the
conference of 1400 church leaders.
The budget calls for the expendi

years. It provides for evangelistic
work in America and the foreign
field, proper financing of hospitals
and homes, liberal awards to strug

period between April 21 and May 2

moved that the drive be deferred to

Dr. David C. Downey of New Tork,
a Methodist, called attention to a
declaration of the Methodist leaders
