FINAL WORDS EXCHANGED
I-'urtlier Xosotiatioa Before Re

Regarded s Unlikely.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 13. Xegotia
ttons of the union railroad employes
for an increase in pay practically
were suspended tonight until the rail
properties arain are in the hands of
their owners. There remained as a
finale only the presentation to Presi
dent Wilson of the union reply to his
statement given them earlier in the
day and this likely will be sent to
the White House tomorrow morning.
Union officials conferred for six
hours on the president's statement
but they steadfastly refused to di
vulge its contents on which White
House officials likewise maintained
silence. Nor would the union chiefs
give any information as to their reply.
Hinr and Lee Confer.
Director-General Hlnes conferred
briefly late today with W. G. Lee.
president of the Brotherhood of Rail
road Trainmen, and a committee from
his organization. This conference, so
far as the railroad administration is
concerned, was saidf to conclude the
series of meetings on the wage ques
tion. Mr. Hlnes late today sent a letter
to the brotherhood of maintenance of
way employes restating his attitude
toward that group's scheduled strike.
He did not make public the nature of
his communication, but it was hinted
he had informed the maintenance
workers they could expect nothing
further in the way of wage Increases
from the railroad administration.
Members of the committee which has
been representing the maintenance
employes, however, denied this, but
declared there had been no decision
to call off the strike which has been
set for Tuerday.
Mr. Lee Reticent on Plana.
After Mr. Hlnes had given the ad
ministration's final word to Mr. Lee's
organization, the trainmen's president
announced he regarded the White
House decision "as bonding on our
union as well as the others."
Although Mr. Lte declined to dis
cuss the next move he would make, it
was understood h5 would not break
from the other organizations. It was
indicated also that he would permit
the wage agreement, notice of abro
Eation ef which was given for Febru
ary 23, to remain in effect until the
termination of fcoeral control.
The general attitude of the union
' officials after being made acquaint
ed with the president's statement, in
a conference on the south lawn of the
White House, was plainly one of dis
appointment. Some of them were
openly dissatisfied, but the more con
servative leaders urged that they bide
their time, in the hope of success
along other lines.
Whether this attitude was proof
that the president had flatly denied
the request for increases or was an
indication he had submitted an un
satisfactory counter-proposal was the
subject of differences of opinion
among union leaders who were not
made acquainted with the president's
reply.
It was understood Mr. Hlnes had
told the president the railroad earn
ings were insufficient to take care
of a new pay raise.
their demands for an increased salary,
urging the high cost of living as the
main reason. At a meeting held in
the high school there on the night'of
January 29, and after a sensational
report had been printed to the effect
hat a strike of instructors was about
to take place, the teachers were told
by the members of the board that
they had been warned 'to go slow" on
granting rises; that legal action
might be taken thiit would make them
personally liable for any money paid
out In this connection. Since then,
however, the details were Investi
gated from every angle and the de
cision reached was made public yes
terday. The teachers indignantly de
nied ever Intending to strike, They
expressed satisfaction yesterday with
the board's announcement.

LOCAL INFORMATION LACKING
A. J. Davidson Optimistic
Prospect for Settlement.
OTer
There is a dearth of information as
to whether there will be a railroad
strike here. This applies alike to
executives of the various lines oper
ating out of Portland and to the rep
resentatives of unions affiliated with
branches of the systems centering
here. All are eager for the latest
news concerning negotiations at
Washington. .
On a hurry call to Washington, S.
B. Hobbs, general chairman of the
O.-W. R. & N. Brotherhood of Railway
Trainmen, and P. F. Reidy, general
chairman for the same organization
on the Spokane, Portland & Seattle,
left Portland for the national capital
several days ago and are now there.
participating in the general negotia
tions being carried on. No word has
been received from them, said Frank
C Hanley, local secretary, yesterday
afternoon.
In case a strike order eventuates
it will come, it is understood, through
Messrs. Hobbs and Reidy to the men
of the companies represented by them,
and in such case they probably would
return here speedily to deliver the
word direct to the men.
No further action on the demands
now before the national administra
tion will be necessary to call a strike,
as this subject was settled by the
brotherhoods at the Columbus con
vention last July, when a special com
mittee of 16, together with the grand
lodge officers, was named to formu
late an appeal for increased wages on
account of the cost of living, and were
empowered to present and negotiate
it with the powers that be. Failing
to obtain results, the authority to
order a strike lies with them.
A. J. Davidson, federal manager for
the Spokane. Portland & Seattle, ex
pressed optimism relative to the
situation, saying he believes a solu
tion of the problem will be reached
within a few days.
"Not that I am a prophet or the
son of one," commented Mr. David
son, "but it does seem to me as
though there must be some way to
adjust the situation without resort to
a strike. It would be a pity to tie
up business at this time, when things
just begin to show promise of the
greatest activity and when it is cer
tain that, with favorable opportun
ity, the roads will be launching great
programmes of betterments. While
I know nothing definite regarding
the situation, I trust it will clarify
soon.'
More than the $250 needed to pay
off the balance due on the hew motion
picture machine at the Lincoln high
school was cleared last night by the
students, who put on an excellent
vaudeville entertainment followed by
a "jitney". dance. The vaudeville
programme, which was held in the
school auditorium, was made up of
specialties contributed by various or
ganizations of the school.
It was called "A Seven Ring Frolic"
and was given under the auspices of
the High-Y society. Ten acts, each of
an originality, and each clever in
execution, were offered. Following
a selection by the school orchestra,
directed by Carl Denton, a series of
animated cartoons was shown, fol
lowed by an Indian pow-wow by
the Hakanaki Campfire Girls, in pic
turesque ensemble. These were May
Helming. La Velle Long, Gertrude
Lanning, Georgia Jacobs and Maude
Schroeder.
The Aeqlian Musical society spon
sored three delightful musical num
bers, a solo by Lester Davis, a piano
solo by Ray Goodman, and a violin
solo by Alfred Keller. The Adelphlans
contributed two short acts from "The
School for Scandal," with a cast of
excellency, consisting of Marion Don
ney and Dorothy Blakley. A clever
monologue by Stewart Biles added fun.
The Philolexian society contributed
classical dancing number with La
Velle Long, Katherine Forbes and
Doris Holman as interpreters of
dance. Jt pianologue and a High-Y
minstrel act with Stewart Biles,
David Pattullo, Arthur Robinson, Gib
son Wright and Tom Graham com
pleted the delightful entertainment.
Following the vaudeville programme,
the students and audience lepaired to
the gymnasium, where the "jitney"
dance was held, the proceeds of which
went to swell the fund. Candy sales
added materially. Sufficient money ;
was raised not only to pay the bal
ance on the machine, but also to pur
chase new and needed films on timely
subjects.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13. Vigorous
opposition to shipping board plans for
the sale of ,30 former German pas
senger liners broke out in the senate
today. The opposition was expressed
in sharp, critical debate and the pres
entation of several resolutions pro
posing to block the action. While the
debate was in progress other develop
ments came thick and fast.
John B. Payne, chairman of the
I board, appeared before the senate
commerce committee and through its
chairman. Senator Jones of -Washington,,
reported to the senate that no
immediate action was necessary. No
action accordingly was taken. ,
At the White House there was made
public a letter concerning the pro-
j posed sale sent by Mr. Payne to the
president, wnicn remarKea on mc
"vicious but characteristic attack
against the shipping board emanating
from a certain quarter regarding the
sale of the ex-German passenger
ships."
Hearst Seek Injunction.
In the District of Columbia supreme
court, William Randolph Hearst of
New York, appearing as a taxpayer,
filed an application for an injunction
to prevent the proposed sale of the
ships at auction Monday. The court
issued an order requiring the boar4
to show cause Monday why a tempo
rary injunction should not be issued.
Chairman Payne assured the senate
committee, and his assurances were
repeated to the full senate, that the
board would merely receive bids Mon
day for the vessels and would report
the results to the senate before act
ing. He met charges that the sale of
the vessels to a single purchaser for
$28,000,000 was intended with a flat
denial, but repeated his own conclu
sion that the sale of the ships to
American private owners at the pres
ent time was to the advantage of the
government.
Asbnrst Opens Debate.
Senator Ashurst, democrat, Arizona,
opened the debate and later brought
it to a head oy oiiering a concurrent
resolution directing the shipping
board not to sell the ships except
through regular bidding after three
months' advertising. He and the sen
ators supporting his resolution de
clared the board's action would result
in the sale of vessels worth $200 a ton
and more to private interests for
around $80 a ton.
The possibility that they might go
to English ' ownership was strongly
intimated by opponents of the imme
diate sale.
Mr. Payne faced prolonged exami
nation. Senators cited the price of
fered the board for the Leviathan,
the 64,000-ton leader of the' ex-German
fleet, which was $4,000,000. This
was compared with an original con
struction cost for the vessel of $10,-
000,000. and a present cost of dupli
eating her In American yards of $25,
000,000 or 130.000,000. The latter fig
ure was furnished by Homer S. Fergu
son, president of the United States
chamber of commerce, a shipyard
head, who was present. Chairman
Payne likewise furnished the esti
mates of shipping board experts that
it would cost V,buo.uuu to recondition
the vessel from a troop transport to
her former) capacity of passenger car
rier. Only one concern wanted to buy
the Leviathan, Mr. Payne said, but
from two to five bids were made on
other vessels of the fleet.
Payne Gives Argument.
Discussing fully with the commit
tee consideration prompting the
board's decision to proceed with its
attempts at sale. Chairman Payne re
stated the arguments briefly outlined
in the letter to the president which,
as given out at the White House,
follows:
In view of the vicious but charac
teristic attack against the shipping
board emanating from a certain quar
ter regarding the sale' of the ex-German
passenger ships, may I restate
the simple tacts: i
1. The ships are to be sold to
Americans only and will sail under
the American flag, will serve the
routes which, in the opinion of the
shipping board, will best serve. Amer
ican commerce and will always be
available to the government In case
of any national emergency. ,
secretary of labor as well as the attorney-general
who needed to advise
with their fellows, but, of course, ac
cording to the custom, the ecretary
of state presided.
All of these meetings were held
by the cabinet, in the absence of
the president's advice, on the old
theory that several heads were bet
ter than one in handling any great
problem which confronted the in
dividual chief of a department. In
the belief that there is strength in
unity the cabinet got together, and
it is doubtful if anyone can be found
here who will agree with the presi
dent's contention that the cabinet le
gally could not confer, even infor
mally, without him..
' Other Course Difficult.
To follow that conclusion would
have left nothing for the cabinet,
which was all that was actively left
of the government of the United
States for four months, but to divide
itself up into ten individual govern
ments each acting independently of
the other.
The sympathy expressed for Mr.
Wilson tonight was more in the na
ture of condonement of his behavior
toward Mr. Lansing on the grounds
that he must yet be too ill to consider
the good motives and earnest pur
poses of the man forced out of the
cabinet on a childish charge of offi
cial usurpation to satisfy the jealous
pride of a great powei;.
The speculation that follows is
whether or not other resignations will
follow. It has been understood all the
time that Attorney-GeneraK Palmer
advised holding the meetings of the
cabinet and that other members were
eaually as responsible for them as
Mr. Lansing or Mr. Palmer. .
One remark made by a senator to
night was that Mr. Lansing's cabinet
meetings had about as much to ao
with his removal as the assassination
of an archduke had to do with start
iner the war in Europe.
Mr. Lansings coldness toward tne
form of peace treaty negotiated oy
the president with the other powers
in Europe will stand generally in the
public mind as the real reason for the
breach.

"2. None of the ships will be sold
to England or to any foreign person,
corporation or country and will not
be sold to a single company or a sin

as possible.
3. Before deciding to offer the
ships for sale the board ascertained
(a) That to make them over from
troop to passenger ships, as must be
done, 20 of those to be sold will cost
$57,000,000 and the others in the same
proportion. We did not deem it wise
to make such an expenditure of public
money.
"(b)In view of prohibition and of
the actual conditions, the board
deemed it probable that passenger
ships could not be operated by the
shipping board at a profit Indeed, it
feared that serious losses would re

present need for passenger ships make
this perhaps tne best possible time
to sell the ships indeed, we do not

were received the proposed sale has
been in the press for days with the
statement that on Monday next at 10
