SOCIALISTS OUSTED,
TRAIT
Five New York Assemblymen
Formally Expelled.
"JOBBERY" PROTEST RISES
'Outrage at Albany Clarion Cull to
People to Rally for Revival
of Ancient Liberties."
ALBANY, N. T., April 1. The five
socialist members of the state assem
bly Louis Waldman and August
Ciaessens of New York, Samuel A.
Pewitt and Samuel Orr of the Bronx
and Charles Solomon of Kings county
were expelled from the lower house
of the legislature today by an over
whelniliiB majority.
The next utep In the fight against
the socialist party, characterized as a
"traitorous party" by the assembly
judiciary committee, will be taken in
tbe lrpislature tomorrow.
Bills desisned to carry out tbe rec
ommendations of the Judiciary com
mittee, that "appropriate legislation
he enacted to the end that hereafter
no party, croup or political organisa
tion in which aliens are acceptable as
members, or whose principles, policies
or programme are responsive to or
detcrmirted by an organization, na
tional or state, composed of persons
not members of the electorate of the
nation or state, shall be privileged to
occupy the position of a political
party on the official ballot of this
state," are expected to be introduced.
Appeal to Courts Unlikely.
Legislative circles tonight were dis
cussing the statement given out to
day by Louis Waldman and Charles
Solomon in which they said th
workers by whom we were elected
must and will be heard. If the people
are to be driven from the ballot box
where shall they goT'
Iteports from New York that the
socialists would appeal to the courts
were given little or no attention, most
members of the assembly declaring
that the courts could not review the
action of the assembly In voting to
deny eeats to the five assemblymen
because, they eaid, "the house is a
judge of its own members and its de
cision is final."
' Vote Follows Wrangle.
Voting came after 23 hours of ora
tory, parliamentary wrangle and fili
bustering. Owing to the fact that the men
were expelled after midnight March
31, there can be no special elections
to fill their seats In the assembly un
less an extraordinary session of the
legislature Is to be convened.
Voting began at 9:38 A. M. today.
Louis Waldman, the first voted on,
was expelled, 116 to 28. August
Ciaessens, who was socialist floor
leader, was ousted, 116 to 28.
The vote on Charles Solomon, who
last week was arrested In Philadel
phia for alleged disorderly conduct
at a mass meeting called to protest
against the ouster proceedings here,
was 116 to 28.
The vote in Samuel A. Dewltt's
case was 104 to 40. .
Assembly Chamber Crowded.
The chamber was crowded with
spectators from the time the assem
bly convened at 10:20 A. M. yesterday
until long after midnight. Many of
the visitors remained, throughout the
night and heard the assembly record
its verdict. Luncheon and supper
were eaten at the desks.
Waldman and Solomon remained at
the capitol throughout the delibera
tions. Both appeared to be highly
amused at the proceedings and smiled
frequently. Tha other three men un
der fire were not present.
The fir3t chapter of the story in
the expulsion of the socialists was
written January 7 last, the day on
which the legislature convened for
Its regular 1920 session. Immediately
after Speaker Sweet had been re
elected he ordered the fjve socialist
assmblyraen before the bar of the
house and told rhem that a resolu
tion to suspend them from participa
tion in the business of the assembly
pending an Investigation of their loy
alty was to be introduced and that
they would be allowed their "day in
court."
Precedent Is Established. .
The resolution was offered by Ma
jority Leader Adler.
Hearings were begun January 20,
after the Judiciary committee had
been appointed and had organized,
with Louis M. Martin, republican, of
Oneida, as chairman. A notable array
of attorneys, headed by Attorney
General Charles D. Newton, appeared
for the state, while Morris Hillquit,
Seymour Stedman, Gilbert E. Roe, S.
John Block, William Karlin and Wal
ter Nelles appeared for the suspended
assemblymen.
Twenty-four days were consumed In
the hearings.
By its action the assembly estab
lished a precedent altogether unique
in the legislative history of the United
States, as never before has an entire
party delegation been ejected from
any legislative body.
"Treason has been committed In the
New York assembly by republicans
and democrats, with few honorable
exceptions." says a statement issued
today by Louis Waldman and Charles
Solomon, two of the expelled socialist
assemblymen.
"A bi-partisan combination has
overthrown representative govern
ment. The representatives of a
political party have been driven from
tbe legislative halls solely because
their platform was distasteful to the
political opponents.
"The constitution has been lynched
and the perpetrators of this outrage
must be brought to justice. The
spirit of the mob breathed in the as
sembly debate throughout the weary
hours. Under the leadership of
Speaker Sweet, man after man openly
implied to violence.
"Arbitrary Power" Decried.
"The doctrine of arbitrary power
was shamelessly proclaimed again
and again.
"The forces ot plutocracy and re
action have temporarily triumphed.
Tho common people have been told
they have no voice in government ex
cept oa the sufferance of the hire
lings of vested interests to whom the
powers of tbe state have been sur
rendered. "The outrage at Albany is a clarion
call to the people of America to rally
for the revival of their ancient lib
erties. The life of democratic in
stitutions is at stake and the people
must get together to right the wrong.
"The workers, by .whom we were
elected, must and will be heard. If
the people are to be driven from the
ballot box, where shall they go?
"The right of the ballot ia an Amer
ican right, and those who deny it are
traitors.
Political Jobbery Allejrrd.
"The assembly has consummated
t act of lawlessness it bejran Janu
ary t. Where the verdict was not the
product ot hysteria and ignorance U
0
s
was the fruit of contemptible politi
cal jobbery. The Albany outrage is
the culminating step in a series of
assaults on our popular liberties
which will jolt the people into a new
political consciousness.
"The socialist party refuses to re.
gard the act of the assembly as more
than- a mad manifestation of fear of
the growing political power of labor.
"It will not be swerved from its
historic course and mission. With
greater faith and vigor than ever it
will go on agitating, educating and
organizing the workers for peaceful
social change.
Fight Is to Continue.
"Socialists will not be goaded into
violence or driven, under ground.
These have never been the methods
of socialism. Always and every
where it has waged its fight in the
open and where this opportunity has
been denied it has ceaselessly fought
for political democracy.
"We shall go back to our districts
with complete confidence. The people
who sent us here knew us and they
will speak their sovereign will is
overwhelming numbers."
SOCIALIST APPEAL- EXPECTEP
Action of New York Assembly Held
Far From Final.
NEW YORK, April 1. The five
socialists evicted from the New York
assembly today will appeal to the
supreme court and If necessary to
th United States supreme court, S.
John Block, state chairman of the
socialist party, announced here to
night. He said counsel for the so
cialists, of which he is one, would
meet in a day or two to determine
whether an immediate appeal to the
state supreme court should be made.
"The fact that action was taken by
a majority of the assembly does not
establish the constitutionality of that
action In any way," he said. "In
fact, the action of the assembly was
the most unconstitutional ever taken
in the history of democratic govern
ment in the United States. The action
was an invasion of the constitutional
rights of the voters of the five dis
tricts the expelled assemblymen rep
resented, as well as of the five men
themselves."
Samuel Orr, one of the deposed
assemblymen, said:
"It Is needless to say that thle will
not abolish socialism. An idea can
never be abolished. The kaiser and
the-czar tried it and. failed miserably
in the attempt.
"We may have failed in Albany,
but the people of New York state and
the nation in general have been fully
aroused by this use of naked power
by the officials temporarily trusted
with the power of the government."
EX-SOLDIERS VOICE PROTEST
Albany Ouster Declared "Act Op
posed to Democracy."-
MINNEAPOLIS, April 1. Resolu
tions condemning the action of the
New York state assembly for expul
sion of the five socialist members to
day were adopted here by the first
state and northwestern district con
vention of the World War Veterans,
and the convention voted to send' a
telegram to the assembly declaring
the expulsion an "act opposed to de
mocracy." Another resolution adopted branded
universal military training as "Prus
sianism," and stated that such legis
lation would have a tendency to en
courage war. The resolution pro
tested against any form of universal
military training or conscription ex
cept in time of war.
CALAMITY, SAYS C. E. HCGHES
Action Held Blow at Standards of
i
True Americanism.
NEW YORK, April 1. Charles E.
Hughes said today that he regarded
the expulsion of the socialists from
the New York state assembly as "a
serious blow at the standards of true
Americanism and nothing short of a
calamity."
"Those who make their patriotism
a vehicle for intolerance," he con
tinued, "are very dangerous friends
of our institutions."
MILK CUT 2 CENTS HERE
(Continued From First Page.)
more milk than ia now being used and in
this way to a great extent compensats the
producer and dealer for the reduction in
price now recommended.
Grass la Declared Abundant.
That the producere, as represented by
the Oregon Dairymen's league, consented
at its recant meeting that milk Bhould be
laid down to tha consumer at a cheaper
rata than at present, for tha reason that
the next three months cover tha abundant
grass period, when production, will he
cheaper and the flow greater. .
We are also of the opinion that the
league, while honestly endeavoring te solve
the dairymen's problems, have not yet
reached the state of perfection In handling
tha aituation, aa shown by the low per
centage of purity of product passing
through their surplus plant, also in the
method ot drawing new members into the
organization who has no market for their
product, but simply tending to swell this
surplus, -which adds to the loss of all
members of the league and la one of the
main factors in keeping up the price of
milk te the consumer. This condition may
be improved by the . leagu striving and
using its best endeavors to better educate
ita members and employes as to the great
importance of cleanliness and striving to
maintain or sur&aaa tha very high and en
viable position held by Oregon dairymen's
production of milk and milk, products.
We are also of the opinion that the deal
ers or diatributors are In a position, by
using their best abilities in the distribu
tion or delivery of the milk and handling
of same, to stand a share in a reduction
In the price of milk to the consumer.
That the price to the cortdenseries located
out in the state, but within easy shipping
distance to Portland, is 11.60 a hundred,
while the price to Portland distributers is
$3.90 a hundred, a difference ot 50 per cent
in the condensery rate.
In view of the recognized faot that een
denseries command a full supply at this
rate, and that wo find no adequate rea
son for this disparity of rates, save that
producers can deliver at profit to con
denseries at J2.60 per hundred and have
found themselves able under present gen
eral market conditions to command J3.90
per hundred in Portland. It seems to your
commission that the difference of J1.80
can easily absorb a reduction of 70 centa
per hundred to the producer, which will
permit a reduction ot 1 cents upon the
price to tha Portland consumer. That is,
that the rata to the distributor ahould be
13.20 gross, tha producer and the dis
tributor each taking care of matters of
surplus, in which tha public is not con
cerned, and for which each has competent
facilities.
furthermore. In view of the fact that
tha means and methods of distribution are
auecepuoie ox quica - ana relatively eaay
improvement and are subject far mora
than la the producing end of the Indus
try to scientific management; and. in view
of the fact that advanced management
of the larger bulk should make for a
greater saving; and, in view of the prom
ise in June of an enlarged market, due to
the Influx of over 100,000 tourists for
jeverml daya.
Your commission believes 'that tbe dis
tributors ahould absorb another V, cant of
reduction,' making a total ot 2 cents upon
the quart to the consumer until July 1
1020. .

FISH TREATY ATTACKED
E. KEAMES, MEIIPORD, RAPS
STATE SENATOR THOMAS. .
Contract Should Have Been Made
Public Before Signing
Asserts Ang-Ier.
The recent agreement between Rod
erick Macleay and sportsmen's associ
ations over the fishing in the Rogue
river is attacked by A. E. Iteames
of Medford, who declares that the
people's rights have been bartered
away by State Senator Thomas and
the sportsmen's organizations. Mr.
Reames, in an open letter in the Med
ford Mail-Tribune, wants to know
why the contract was not made pub
lic before it was signed.
Mr. Reames, who is one of the best-
known steelhead anglers in the state,
waxes hostile over the- contract and
the manner in which it was handled
by his fellow-townsman. Senator
Thomas.
"Until this secret contract was put
through," asserts Mr. Reames, "there
was a plain understanding that a
measure should go on the ballot in
the fall election closing commercial
Ashing in Rogue river."
Mr. Reames charges that the very
organizations which were to have
supported the measure in the fall
election have been induced to lend
their signature to the contract under
the belief tht it will give the de
sired protection. It will now take an
immense amount of work and a lot
of activity, contends Mr. Reames. to
relieve these institutions' of an obli
gation under a contract which they
were misled into signing.
Mr. Reames objects to the contract
recognizing the importance of the
Macleay investments at the mouth of
the river. He asserts that when Mr.
Macleay bought the cannery, commer
cial fishing had been closed by law.
The process was to take an ontlon
on the cannery and after lobbvinsr a
bill to permit commercial fishing, the
cannery was bought.
According to Mr. Reames. Mr. Mac
leay endeavored to engage his profes
sional services and when Mr. Reames
refused, Mr. Reames declares that
Mr. Macleay threatened to spend
$100,000 to subsidize every newspaper
In the state and take the steelheads
as well as the salmon.

will go forth today with renewed
determination, trusting that a large
percentage of the remaining $20,000
will be in sight when the returns are
reported at 4 o'clock this afternoon
Although Mrs. K. P. Northrup's
team is still in the lead, that of Mrs.
William Wheelwright yesterday took
the honors for the largest sum turned
in for the day. With her workers
she was able to report 11875 in con
tributions.
'I wish I could make a big pledge
to your , drive." said a working girl
to Mrs. Northrup yesterday, "but un
fortunately I can only spare this dol
lar which I would like to spend for
a. year s membership, for I get so
much comfort and pleasure out of the
many departments of the Y. W." This
same spirit is shown by many of
those who are contributing small
amounts and all who are making larg
er donations speak in the highest
terms of the good work done for
the girls of Portland by the associa
tion.
