ican Federation of Labor headquar
ters, was signed by Samuel Gompers,
Matthew Woll and Frank Morrison as
members of the platform committee
of the national non-partisan cam
paign of the federation.
Acceptance of the principles enunci
ated in the reply was regarded by po

These principles include: v
Slx-Day Week Kr-ommrnid-d.

and the six-day week with Saturday
half holiday.
Recognition of American wage
earners' right to organize in accord
ance with their own judgment.
Continued exemption of labor
unions from anti-strike laws.
Acceptance of the right of em
ployes to choose their own repre
sentatives from within or without the
plant.
Recognition of. the right of em
ployes to strike.
Abandonment of the use of the In
junction In labor disputes..
Establishment of free federal, em
ployment agencies in the administra
tion In which labor would have a
voice.
Minimum Agf Is Set at 16.
Payment of such wages as to ren
der old age and retirement pensions
unnecessary.
Equal pay for equal work.
llinimum age of IS years for em
ployment of children.
Extension of the federal workmen's
compensation act to all wage earners
not provided for by state compensa
tion acts.
Elimination of company welfare
and uplift organizations and substitu
tion of welfare work as conducted
by labor organizations.
Other phases of the industrial sit
uation covered by the questionnaire
and labor s replies include the prin
ciplcs of the Kansas court of Indus
trial relations: the function of the
secondary strike or boycott; righ,t
of government employes to organize
and strike: establishment of federal
arbitration boards and encourage
merit of thrift among wage earners.
Conrt Principles Attacked.
- "The general principles in what is
known as the Kansas court of in
dustrial relations," the labor com
mittee asserted, "are principles that
are so anti-democratic as to be repre
hensible in the extreme and repug
nant to every American concept of
justice, freedom and democracy.
"The secondary strike," or boycott,
the reply stated, "has been resorted to
and will be resorted to only when the
tactics of employers left to labor no
Other course."
Defending the right of government
workers to organize, the labor com
mittee said the right of such workers
to strike, "would be maintained but
there should never be occasion to
use it."
an hour at St. Vincent's hospital. Mr.
Collins, at the time he was stricken,
was riding with Dr. George Ainslie,
a brother-in-law, on the Linnton
road. He had not been in good health
fof some time. Friends believe that
the death of his wife less than , two
months ago helped to accelerate bis
decline.
Mr. Collins was born 53 years ago in
St. Johns, New Brunswick, and came
to Portland with his parents as a child
about 45-years ago. He was a mem
ber of the Lang Syne society. He
had been in the lumbers business here
much of the time, -more recently hav
ing offices in the Panama building.
Mr. Collins is survived , by a daugh
ter. Miss Dorothy, now in Virginia,
and a son. Ainslie, a student at Stan
ford university. Mrs. R. G. Dieck is
sister-in-law. Funeral arrange
ments remain to be announced.

SENATOR TO VISIT OREGON
FOR 1 6-DAY i TOUR.
J. O. Herbsman, . Campaign Man
ager, Predicts No Nomination
on First Convention Ballot.
Miles Polndexter, United States sen
ator from Washington and republican
presiaenuai canaiaaie, win oe in ure
gon from May 5 to May 21, inclusive,
according to definite word received
Sunday by J. C. Herbsman, manager
of the Polndexter campaign for this
state. Mr. Herbsman is now arrang
ing an itinerary for Senator Poindex-
ter, who will make a speaking tour
of the state up until the date of the
primary election.
Mr. Herbsman Sunday predicted
that no one republican candidate will
have a sufficient number of votes at
the Chicago convention to receive the
nomination on the first ballot, and for
that reason Senator Polndexter- and
his backers insist that he will havi
as good a chance for the nomination
as anyone whose name will be' pre
sented to the convention.
"We feel further that the interests
of Oregon and Washington from the
standpoint of shipping, fisheries, minr
ing, lumber, agriculture, irrigation
and general development are iden
tical," skid Mr. Herbsman, in assert
ing Senator Poindexter would have
the -solid backing of Washington at
Chicago. "We feel that Oregon, in
supporting Washington's senator for
the presidency, is really supporting
one of her own eons a man of the
northwest."
Senator Poindexters Oregon itin
erary will be made public by Mr.
Herbsman Just as soon -as it has been
definitely settled.

COPENHAGEN, April 12. A great
explosion occurred today at an army
supply factory north of Uotenstein,
near Koenigsberg;, East, Prussia, and

WASHINGTON', April 12. Attorney-
General Palmer will take up the ques
tion of governmental action in the so
called outlaw railroad strike imme
diately on his return . to Washington
tomorrow. Officials of the department
of justice were busy Sunday assem
bling detailed reports gathered by
telephone and telegraph from all im
portant strike centers.
Officials would disclose only the
general trend of the reports, said to
show an "extremely serious situa
tion." When a decision is reached, the
public will know of it early, it wajj
saia.
Inquiry Extends in Scope:.
The inquiry, ordered by Mr. Palmer
from Georgia, where he has ben on
a speaking tour, has developed a wider
scope than'originally planned.
It is known that staff attorneys at
trie department have been engaged for
several days reviewing cases of gov
ernmental action in strike crises.
Action can be taken by the gov
ernment under the Lever act, in the
present, case it was said. There was
a slight hint, however, that in event
Mr. Palmer decided to throw the
weight of the government into the
controversy it would not be by the
Injunction process, the method em
ployed in the bituminous coal strike.
Indictment Is Favored.
Officials apparently favor fhe use
of the criminal indictment to check
the power of the so-called "outlaws."
If the government moves to end the
strike on the authority of the Lever
act, it was indicated the basis would
be a charge that the food supply had
been hindered.
Although the provisions of the Lever
law make it possible to charge a con
spiracy, it was believed that by whole
sale indictment of individuals, the
strike could be ended more quickly
than through he lodging of con
spiracy charges against the strike
leaders.
justed without any delay. He said he
predicted trouble at the time the Cum-mins-Esch
bill was before congress
and blamed congress for bringing the
trouble on.
Mr. Gompers expressed confidence
that the strike soon would be ended
and declared that he had no fear of
the effect on the union labor question
generally.
"The strike is a mistake," he said.
"These men don't realize the millen
nium cannot be made in a day. The
progress comes only by years of per
severance and labor.
"This strike has no real leadership
and no real plan.
"1 saw this trouble coming on. I
testified at Washington it would hap
pen. It was inevitable. It is the pro
test of the men against the effort to
legislate away their rights.
"It is men like Senator Cummins
and- Governor Allen of Kansas who
are to blame for this situation with
their legislation to deny a man the
right to quit . work to enforce a
legitimate claim or redress an injury.
"It is the policy of getting out in
junctions, both prohibitory and man
datory, and so keep men at labor un
der grievous conditions which has
brought on this wave of uncontrollable
resentment.
"It is not the brotherhood officials
or the union leaders.' They have done
ail tney oould at all times to hold
their men within bounds, but there
are times when human nature will
assert itself. Thljs is one of them."

Responsibility for Fiscal Matters
Would Be Tested Largely In
Secretary f Treasury.
WASHINGTON, D. C. April 12. A
bill providing for a national budget
system will be presented to the senate
this weelf by Senator McCormick, re
publican, Illinois, chairman of a spe
cial committee assigned to the subject
several weeks ago. The plan proposed
was adopted unanimously by the com
mittee. Senator McCormick said last
night, and Is "more sweeping" than
that outlined by the house budget bill
passed last year., i .
Responsibility -. for fiscal matters
would be largely vested In the secre
tary of the treasury, the' senator said.
adding: .
"While the. : measure reserves to
the president the power to revise and
control the terms of the budget. It is
the hope of the committee that in the
actual working this power would have
to ba exercised only seldom and that
the secretary of the treasury, together
with the commissioner of the budget.
wouKl assemble, revise and prepare all
estimates of expenditures for the gov
ernment."
Other departments would be re
quired, under the proposed plan, to
submit estimates for expenditures in
the ensuing fiscal year to the budget
bureau, of the treasury department
before October 1 every year. The bu
reau would compile and submit these
estimates with its recommendations
to ine secretary 01 ine treasury, not
later than November 1, and he, in
turn, would submit them to the presi
dent, not later than November 20
after having revised and co-ordinated
them.
Provision also is made for the sub
mission of statements showing the
treasury's resources and obligations
and its conditions at the end of the
preceding fiscal year, together with
its estimated condition at the close
of the current year.
The president would receive auth
ority to increase or to reduce esti
mates or to eliminate any item or to
assign specific duties in the various
departments or to consolidate or
eliminate service In the interests of
economy and efficiency, subject to
approval by congress.
The bill also would create an audit
bureau. Ths bureau report would
go both to the presidents and to congress.
