REACHED DIM TREATY
Last Bi-Partisan Conference
IVIay Be One Held Today.
FIGHT IN SENATE NEXT
Article 10 and Monroe Doctrine
Clause Are Only Points of Dis
pute Between Parties.
WASHINGTON", Jan. 2S. Prepon
derance of senate opinion on the eve
of another and perhaps final bi
partisan conference of republican and
democratic leaders was that a dead
lock had been reached on compromise
peace treaty reservations.
Reservations to article 10 and for
preservation of the Monroe doctrine
promised to be the canter of variance
between the. leaders of the two fac
tions at tomorrow's meeting. Should
the hi-partisan conferences, which
have been in progress for more than
two weeks, be abandoned. Influences
at work in both political parties, it
was asserted today in some quarters,
undoubtedly would have a strong ef
fect ultimately in the direction of a
compromise which would keep the
treaty out of the political campaign.
Article 10 and the Monroe doctrine,
it became known today, were the only
subjects on whicU tentative agree
ment has not been reached by the bi
partisan committee. Much of the lan
guage of the republican reservations
adopted last session has been agreed
to by the democrats, it was revealed,
while many changes had been con
ceded by the republicans and two of
the reservations had been rewritten
entirely.
Definite Objection Hrqnirrd.
Among the changes approved by the
committee were the following:
Modification ot the preamble so
that instead of requiring specific af
firmative acceptances of the reserva
tions by three or four of the great
powers, such acceptances would be
taken for granted unless objection
were made before disposition of rati
fication by the United States.
Qualification of the reservation on
voting strength in the league so that
the United .States would not be bound,
except in cases where it previously
bad given its assent, by decision in
which any member had more than one
vote. In the republican reservation
this exception was omitted.
Change of the withdrawal reserva
tion to make it provide that notice
of withdrawal from membership in
the league "shall be given by a joint
resolution" of congress instead of
'may be given by a concurrent res
olution." A joint resolution requires
the signature of the president, while
l concurrent resolution ordinarily
does not.
Deletion of direct reference to Ja
pan and China by name in the Shan
tung reservation so the United States
simply would withhold assent to the
Shantung articles and reserve liberty
of action in any dispute arising under
them.
Congress Rnrirrl Powers.
Complete redrafting of two of the
reservations so they would require
that no representative to the league
be appointed without congressional
authorization and that no recommen
elation of the league regarding arma
nients would be valid until approved
by congress.
The sticking point on the Monroe
doctrine reservation came when the
democrats proposed to strike out
provision that the doctrine should be
Interpreted by the United States alone
while the article 10 impasse was
reached on a democratic proposal to
make the exemption from the article's
obligations apply only to use of the
nation's armed forces. It was when
the whole negotiations had been sifted
down to these two propositions that
the republicans served their notice
that they would not agree to any com
promise on the two reservations af
f ected.
Should the bi-partisan negotiations
collapse democratic leaders expect to
try to bring the treaty into the open
senate for debate. Senator Hitchcock
of Nebraska, acting administration
leader, said today, however, that he
probably would make no such move
lor ten days or two weeks.
WOMAN ON I. W. W. JURY
(Continued From First Pag-e.)
opinion that the trial of the accused
I. W. W. will consume not less than
one month and possibly more. It is
improbable that a jury will have been
finally selected before the close of the
present week.
In open court today the defense de
clared that the case will occupy two
months, a surmise bo strong that
many talesmen are reluctant to serve.
Lie la Paaned.
"That's a deliberate lie!" exclaimed
W. H. Abel, counsel for the state, at
one juncture in the examination of
jurors, when George F. Vanderveer,
attorney for the defense, charged the
pasistant prosecutor with being in the
hire of the Grays Harbor lumber in
terests in prosecuting the case against
the I. W. W. defendants.
Recrimination was halted by prompt
suppression from Judge Wilson, the
court denying Vanderveer's motion
that the Montesano attorney be re
moved trom tne stair oi tne state on
the allegation that he represents the
lumber companies.
Scarcely had the lie been passed
and the argument of the principals
halted when Herman Allen, prosecut
ing attorney for Lewis county, arose
and made a statement relative to
Abel's status with the prosecution.;
j-rosecuior Alien, asserted that the L.
W. V. counsel's contention was un
true in every particular and that Abel
retained by the state throuerh the
office of the county prosecutor.
in the examination of W. F. Fer
guson, plumber of Hoquiam. the state, '
through the stiff questioning of C. D.
Cunningham and W. H, Abel, counsel
for the prosecution. develoDed the
facts that the talesman was a member
of the socialist party, that he was an
objector to the draft and that he is an
almost constant reader of the Seattle
Union Record, which has upheld the
defendants and pictured the armistice-day
attack as self-defense.
W. A. Combs, merchant, of Klma.
was excused from jury service after
a brief examination, when he had
informed attorneys and court that he
is afflicted with heart trouble and
that physicians have repeatedly
warned him against excitement. He
declared his willingness to serve, but
expressed grave doubt as to the ad
visability.
Opinion Causes Dismissal.
G. H. Karshner of Aberdeen, next
examined, was dismissed from serv
ice on the challenge of the defense
for cause. The venireman had main
tained that he possessed an opinion
which evidence and testimony could
not remove.
"You believe in upholding your
country's laws?" pursued W. H. Abel
of the state, receiving an affirma
tive reply.
"You are a loyal American?"
"I am."
"Do you believe that free speech
includes the right to advocate de
struction or crime?"'
"I do not." exclaimed the Juror.
Here Vanderveer interposed an ob
jection, declaring this course of ex
amination to be a perversion ot the
privilege, with the state using the
venireman as a "stalking horse."
Judge Wilson overruled the objec
tion. At the close of the examina
tion, during which the venireman
said that he has no personal fear of
the consequences to himself or his
home should he serve on the jury, the
challenge of the defense was sus
tained on the ground of an existing
opinion in the. mind of the juror. I
"As I understand it," he queried,
"you do not like the I. W. W. organl
zation. You think that it is a crim
inal agency?"
"The worst I ever knew of."
"But you understand that the
I. W. W. organization is not on trial
just these men who are charged with
murder? '
"I should forget their membership
and try them merely as men."
Woman Replies to Queries.
The defense again took up the
questioning. To a dozen queries Mrs.
Pattison replied that she had sought
to keep her mind open regarding the
defendants, and that defense litera
ture mailed to her had served to cor
rect and modify her original impres
sions of the blame and its placing.
'I thought that the marchers may
have knocked on the door and started
to break in," she said, adding that
her belief in the possible existence of
conspiracy to attack was still
strong, as she had read that radical
riflemen were stationed on a distant
hill.
Time and again the defense sought
to bring the prospective juror to bay
on the issue of I. W. W.ism, receiving
placid replies that she did not be
lieve this was the principle involved.
"The I. W. W., as I understand it."
said Mrs. Patterson, "is not on trial
here Just these men are on trial."
"Did you not say a moment ago
that you'd hang all I. W. W.?" coun
tered the defense.
"I said that if I had my way I'd
blot out the organization. I know
that young boys are roped into it."
"But eliminating these younger men
and considering the older ones?" in
sisted the defense.
"I know that the older men preach
violence."
The Juror had assured the defense
that she has no scruples against the
infliction of the death penalty. On
this tack the questioning now turned.
Response Kvokes Smtles.
"You don't want to sit on this jury
for any reason, do you?" asked Van
derveer. "You don't want to sit in
Judgment on a man's very life?"
"No, sir."
"Do you take the Union Record?"
"No, sir."
"Are you prejudiced against it?"
"I'm not prejudiced against it I
don't like the paper," was the fem
inine reply that brought smiles to the
courtroom.
"Had you a son in the service?"
"Yes, sir."
"Is he a member of the American
Legion?"
"I don't know."
"Do you believe that the I. W. W.
have a legal right to maintain halls
and meeting places for the trans
action of business?"
"1 do not."
Frequently the juror declared that
he would abandon all prejudice
against the I. W. W. organization in
her consideration of the accused men
whom the defense readily admitted to
be members of the organization.
The defense renewed Its challenge
for cause, which the court again overruled.
Mill Foreman Excused.
M. S. Anderson, mill, foreman, of
Hoquiam, was excused from service
when he informed counsel that his
opinions were fixed and that evidence
could not remove them.
Orton Glenn, laborer, Satsop. passed
for cause by both state and defense.
said that he was not against the death
penalty, that he had no decided
opinion on the merits of the case and
that he believes in the right of labor
unions and the principle of picketing.
He had known Bert Bland and O. C.
Bland, two of the defendants, for a
number of years, but would not per
mit acquaintance to color his con
sideration of the evidence.
O. C. Schneid-er. hotel man of Aber
deen, was passed for cause, and is
tentatively seated, though the state
has reserved the right to question
him further tomorrow. This talesman
declared his opposition to the prin
ciples of the I. W. W., but admitted
that he is a member of the triple
alliance.
At the conclusion of the afternoon
session of court the examination of
Samuel Berdine. saw-filer of Hoquiam,
had not been completed.

DOLLARS ID FOOD
Credit to Purchase Raw Ma
terials Held Salvation.
POTATOES AND GRAIN LOW
Labor Ample and Willing to Work,
Says American Observer; Danger
of Bolshevism Declared Over.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 28. (Special.)
The financial and economic situa
tion in Germany is summarized as fol
lows by an American observer who in
terviewed leaders in several branches
of German industry:
"First, Germany is rapidly ap
proaching financial breakdown where
the government will have to declare
itself bankrupt.
"Second, the supply of potatoes
and grain, as well as certain other
foodstuffs, is so low that Germany
will reach the point of starvation by
March unless food supplies from
abroad are made available.
"Third, with the present low ex
change value of the mark and ex
isting resources, it is not possible for
Germany to purchas,e sufficient food
supplies from abroad. The only way
to save Germany from the coming
catastrophe is a credit from the
United States sufficiently large to
enable it to purchase abroad supplies
or cotton and other raw materials to
enable it to start up industries now
idle or running on part time, as well
as to purchase abroad necessary food
supplies.
People Willing to Work.
"Fourth, contrary to the situation
four months ago. the laboring neople
all over Germany are now willing to
worn, anu witn employment and nec
essary food assured to them no seri
ons labor or political disturbances
may be expected. Moreover, the sup
ply of labor is ample. Therefore, with
the necessary raw material assured.
Industries now wholly or partly idle
can be started up on a large scale,
goods produced for export, an inter
national exchange be built up, and i
situation created which wilt enable
Germany to meet her international
obligations.
"Fifth, or.ly a credit of not less
than two years or more could be of
material advantage, the creditor loan
to bo guaranteed by a syndicate of
first-class banking Institutions and
industrial combinations In Germany,
which would then undertake the dis
tribution of the raw material pur
chased abroad, among the German
factories, against corresponding guar
antees.
"Sixth, the foreign aid must come
quickly if the threatening catastrophe
is to be avoided.
V. S. Aid Counted ns Need.
The investigator declared that the
assistance of the United States

tion of Germany in the near future
In an interview with the investigator,
Lengfehler, collector of imperia
customs and other revenues for the
Rhine province, said that he expected
great relief from the extension o
the old customs tariff to the occupied
part of Germany, thus stopping up
"the hole in the west." He declared
that the danger of bolshevism wa
over, so far as Germany was con
cerned.
Bank Director Wolff, manager of
the Deutsche bank, Cologne branch
stated that the financial Interests
Germany were opposed to small in
dividual credits being opened by in
dividual impostors. In his opinion
the only thing that could bring relie
in the German situation would be
large loan by the United states bank
ing and industrial interests of th
United States.

while inspecting army posts out there.
The Wood and Johnson booms are the
two perfectly friendly ones up to this
time, because both candidates and
their managers have set out on a
policy of not attacking the opposi
tion. The Wood and Lowden battle
promises some heated exchanges,
while Senator Poindexter is going
after all other candidates hammer and
tongs wherever they interfere with
his progress.
Poindexter managers, by the way,
say that he will have three of the
eight delegates in New Hampshire,
General Wood's native state, which is
he first time they have ventured into
figures.
l.Mrid Humor Funilnhpd.
With the republican contest warni
ng up, each day furnishes some lurid
umor. One which even got into
print was that Hiram Johnson and
William Randolph Hearst were to tie
up in a third party, with Johnson the
leader, in case of his defeat. This
was emphatically denied by the John
son manager in New York, who called
attention to Senator Johnson's state
ment in a speech in Brooklyn recent-
y mai ne intends abiding by the de-
lsion of the republican party.
The contest reached the straw Fal

ping board, and Alexander McMur-
cnie, Democratic state chairman.
Hoover Believed Antocratle.
There is no longer any talk of
Hoover as the republican candidate.
He will be the democratic nominee if
nominated at all. His candidacy does
not appear to have taken hold of the
republican rank and file in the east
any more than of the party leaders.
The explanation is said ro be the feel
ing that he Is too much of the Wilson
temperament, and as president might
be more or less autocratic That will
go in the democratic party, which is
supported by a dozen states that are
always democratic, no matter what
happens, but republicans do not feel
generally that a man of that type
would ever get along with their party,
which is so quick to bolt at bossism.
The republican party, it is realized,
must depend for its success on such
states as Ohio, Indiana and the inde
pendent commonwealths of the west
which can flop one way as quickly as
another when things do not go to
suit them.
Mr. Hoover is held in the highest
esteem, but It is pointed out that his
success in life has all been in an ex
ecutive capacity and the assertion of
autocratic power. He has always
driven and never led.
Mr. Wilson appears to have given
the country sufficient of that kind
of direction to last for a generation

OREGOXIAX NEWS BURE AU.Wasb
ington. Jan. 28. There will be anti-
strike legislation of some character
in the railroad bill when it is finally
reported back to the senate and
house by tho conference committee
of the two houses, according to re
ports from the conference commit
tee's deliberations, which appear to
be authentic.
The legislation on this subject, aa
finally formulated, will not be the
provision contained in the Cummins
bill, nor will it follow the exact
lines of the Webster amendment of
fered in the house, but it Is likely
to contain some of the features of
both proposals. The house will prob
ably pass it.
An informal canvass made ot the
house witbin the last few days dis
closes a very substantial change of
sentiment among the membership on
the problem of settling labor dis
putes. Since the vote was taken
some weeks ago and the house
knuckled to the officers of the rail
road brotherhoods, tho great unor
ganized middle-class union has been
heard from.
The class neither owning railroad
stocks nor working for the railroads,
but which is called upon to foot the
bills resulting from the wage messes
Into which the transportation lines
are pitched at intervals, has come
forward to protest against the
tyranny ot capital on the one hand
and labor on the other. Congress is
told that an end must be put to all
these disputes which mean only
hunger and cold and higher prices to
the innocent public.
Changes have taken place in more
than a half dozen state delegations
since the house voted to put the so
called Anderson amendment into the
bill at the behest of the railroad big
four. In one delegation which cast
less than four votes for anti-strike
legislation when the bill was before
the house all have lined up for a
measure of this character. This means
almost a score of votes.
Several members privately have
expressed regret at their support of
the Anderson amendment and say
they are anxious to see it stricken
from the bill.
The conferees are divided on two
sections of the legislation, the rule
of rate-making and the anti-strike
provision. The house conferees have
been told by the senate representa
tives that there will never be an
agreement on any measure that does
nt nffer some better solution of
labor disputes than that contained in
the house hill.

today that it is true. Besides think
Ing well of the California candidate
because of his political and economic
theories. South Dakota has a penchant
for the name of "Johnson." The state
has a senator and a representative in
congress by that name, the latter
being the war hero. Royal C. Johnson,

some doubtless suppose.
The result In South Dakota also
may be influenced somewhat by what
happens in North Dakota, which is to

ahead of the sister Dakota. It was
declared positively by a prominent
North Dakota republican here today
that Hiram Johnson will have the

University Graduate Says Early
Recognition of Poems Cost $1
an Hour Job as Boilermaker.
SEATTLE. Wash., Jan. 28. (Spe
cial.) Confession that he is leading
a dual life that of a janitor by day
and a poet by night was mad Tues
day by Oliver. G. Dunlap, who asked
J. H. Shields, superintendent of the
city free employment office, for a job.
"What kind of work do you want?"
asked Mr. Shields. -
"Well. I'm a poet, but I believe poet
iobs are pretty scarce." said Dunlap.
"Have you anything in the Janitor
line? The country is howling for
greater production. I've been produc
ing poems by the dozens for five
vears. but the demand for increased
nroduction doesn't seem to take in
poetry."
Dunlap asked Mr. Shields if there
were any objections to his giving an
other than bia right name on his ap
plication for a janitor job.
"You see, there is a girl In Seattle
who thinks my poems are the great
est ever written," said the applicant
"She is certain that some day some
one is going to discover me and that
all the publishers in the country will
be fighting for my poems. It Is bad to
mix sentiment with soap suds and
wouldn't like her to know I'm scrub
bing floors. I want to stay poet by
night, but have to be a janitor by

"If I hadn't sold those two poems.
I'd he a fine boilermake.r today

Portland Showing Marked Prog
ress in Machinery Manufacture
jjt -
S ' -St"? '
The manufacturing: of any city is
determined in kind largely by its en
vironment. It is therefore natural
that Portland, so closely connected
with the timber industry, should
have turned to the manufacturing in
a big way of logging and sawmill
machinery.
Very ' important indeed has he
come the manufacture of logging
engines and rigging, cars and equip
ment for logging railroads, sawmill
machinery, and transmission and
conveying apparatus. In addition
Portland has become universally
known as the home of the power
drag saws that are being used in
timber districts throughout the
world.
Portland has made re
markable headway in the
manufacture of marine en
gines and boilers, auxil
iaries, deck machinery,
winches and windlasses for powered
vessels, and the Portland and Colum
bia River plants are noted for their
exceptional facilities and equipment
for marine outfitting and repairs.
Perhaps a second reason for Port
land's activity in this regard is the
fact that trans-continental railroads
maintain here large division shops
for locomotive and car upkeep, which
gives this city a distinct advantage
over other western cities. Alto
gether prospects are bright for the
manufacture of machinery in this
city.
