T1IE 3I0BXIXG OREGOXIAX, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1920 Secretary of Labor Reported Ready to Quit. CAMINETTI IS ALSO THORN Capital Opinion Asserts Members of Official Family Keenly Feel Servile Position. ORE GOVT A N NEWS BUREAU. Wash frig-ton, Feb. 19. (Special.) The at mosphere is thick with rumors that several cabinet resignations are to follow that of Robert Lansin? and, should a complete disintegration of the president's official family set In, little surprise would be occasioned. William B. Wilson, secretary of la bor, is expected to be the next to go. and Newton D. Baker, secretary of war. may be close on his heels. Secre tary Wilson is the only cabinet mem ber who is free of having given of fense to the president in connection with the holding- of the informal cab inet meetings which enraged the sick man of the White House. Iabor Secretary PbiuedL Secretary Wilson had an industrial conference on his hands all of the time that the cabinet meetings, over which (canning presided, were going on. the ret ore only attended one or two kc s.sions. The labor secretary principal reason for wishing to qu however, is understood to be a feu vhich has sprung up between him and Attorney-General Palmer. Th labor chief, it is said, feels pique over the mauenr in which the coal strike was handled bv Palmer, wh he feels, usurped the authority of the labor department in handling that controversy. So, after all, his com plaint against Palmer is much the same as that of the president against JUi rising. This alleged usurpation goes much further. In his opinion, than the coal strike. He is understood to feel that in the deportation of radicals th' duties of his office have practically heen taken over by Attornev-Ueneral i aimer and tnat ( ommissioner-uen era I Caminetti, of the bureau of immi gration, though his subordinate has ignored him in the handling of th "reds," taking orders instead from the attorney-general. Caminetti for America. Commissioner-G e n e r a 1 Caminetti, though considerably aged and broken In health since he came to Washing ton from California to take the post at the head of the immigration hu reau, which is subordinate to thi secretary of labor, is set in his ways. One idea which is irresistably fixed In his mind is that America should be reserved for Americans and that those who advocate the overthrow of the government promptly should be thrown out. In the maintenance of this princfpli he is known to have made it difficult for certain aliens whom he regarded as objectionable to get into this coun try after Secretary Wilson, his chief, had directed their admission. Several such aliens have been detained at Ellis island, it is reported, for three or four months after Secretary Wll son approved their admission, and inquiry disclosed that the orders of the secretary had been held up by the commissioner-general of immigra tion. Bail Cauaea Iipute. Caminetti is even declared to have overruled his chief in demanding $500 bail for the release of certain aliens detained at Ellis Island after Secretary Vilson had fixed their bail at $1000 each. Secretary Wilson has declined to discuss the rumors of his intended resignation, there are strong reasons to believe that his retirement will be soon. It is not believed that Secretary Baker's grievance is other than that he feels there is just as good reason why he should quit as that Lansing should have gone. He was on the inside of the objectionable cabinet meetings and participated as actively as Mr. Lansing. But there is still another and more dominant reason for quitting which is suspected of having caused all of the members of Mr. Wilson's cabinet to sit up and think, with a sense of humiliation stealing over them. Letter Dlrloaea Attitude. The action of the president with reference to Lansing, and the ac' companyin? letters, discloses the servile position which a cabinet mem ber occupies under this administration. The president makes it so emphatic In his letter to Mr. Lansing that cabinet members of such doubtful potency that there is said to be a feeling among all of them that what really ails this administration is not "cerebral thrombosis" but append! citis. "Then why not get out?" each one is said to be asking himself, and save the president another operation sim ilar to the removal of the former sec retary of state. urged by Sir Edmond Walker, presi dent of the Canadian Bank" of Com merce, recently returned from the ori ent, in an address yesterday. Declaring he believed Japan would respect the reputation for never yet having broken a promise. Sir Edmond painted a rosy nicture of the advan tages that such an undertaking would have on the business of America dur ing the next hundred years. "Japan is the only place in the orient where east and west are meet ing and where there is a desire for attainment of western ideals, he declared. Sir Edmond deplored the spirit of bitterness which he said was notice able among both American and Brit ish merchants toward Japan. H COSTS MAGE CLEAR PROFITEER IS HEID TO BE OXLY MIXOR OFFENDER.

LINE-UP WITH JAPS URGED Canadian Banker Sees Rare Trade Opportunities in Orient. TORONTO, Ont., Feb. 19. An Anglo Saxon partnership with Japan to se cure every available opportunity for upbuilding trade and commerce along the great highway of the Pacific waa NEW YORK, Feb. 19. Profiteering is the last and least of six reasons for the high cost of living given by Howard E. Figg, assistant United States attorney general, at the ninth annual convention of the National Dry Goods association. He asserted, how ever, that some of the dry goods deal ers were guilty of profiteering and should be punished, while ho believed all were guilty of having profiteered. perhaps unwittingly, at some time or other. "The first reason for present con ditions, he said, is the increased volume of money and credits; and second, the wide increase of wages, due partly to war necessities and government wage scales; third, less ened world production: fourth, in creased cost of distribution; fifth, reckless extravagance and a spirit of speculation, and sixth, profiteering." Mr. Figg predicted that there would be no appreciable price reduction un til labor "considers itself a part of the whole of industry and consents to co-operate." "I do not oean," he explained, "that labor must give up its short work days and Ite- high wages, but labor must work a full 60 minutes in each hour." " Labor cannot see the position into which it is putting the entire indus try of the world, Mr. Figg said, add ing that no appreciable reduction in prices could come until all interests labor, public, the manufacturer, pro ducer, wholesaler and distributer-co-ordinate.

There is a sound of revelry every night at numerous nlaces in Berlin, which seems deter mined to put up a strong bluff at the merry carnival spirit despite the decreasing hard times.

The trend toward nudity has at last reached its goal at several Berlin en tertainments and popular dance halls, where the dancers have been compet ing with one another in shedding one veil after another. But it remained for one Celly Den hevd to appear literally in the all together along with her ballet troupe of hand-picked beauties. .Benin cm ics agree that this is the last word in nude dancing, but they argue it is not in the least immoral and the absolute nudity of Celly and her supporting ballet is far less suggestive than the partially veiled sinuousness of other dancers.
