HINDERED BY STRIKE
Oil Shortage and Stevedores'
Walkout Felt.
11 CRAFT TIED IN PORT
Xone of Fleet ' Operating Out of
Portland Is Affected, However,
i'uel Xeed Most Serious.
A shortage of fuel oil throughout
the orient and a stevedores' strike at
Yokohama are combining to retard
operators of vessels plying the far
eastern waters, according to word re
ceived from the offices of the Pacific
Steamship company in Yokohama
yesterday by Frank J. O'Connor, local
agent of the company. The stevedores'
strike at Yokohama is so effectual,
according to this information, that 11
veHsel-s under the operation of the Pa
cific Steamship company are tied up
there unable to work their cargoes.
Fcrtunately, none of these is of the
fleet operated out of Portland.
The shortage of fuel oil is a more
serious matter, and unless relief is
obtained immediately every ship of
the Portland-Oriental fleet of the Ad
miral line will have to be converted
from an oil burner Into a coal burner.
Word has been received by Mr. O'Con
nor that no fuel oil is available at
Yokohama for the steamer Waban,
which left here March 30, and unless
a supply is found for this vessel be
fore she reaches the Japanese port,
she will be the first of the fleet to
undergo conversion.
Conversion Is Planned.
The method determined upon by
O'Connor for meeting the situation is
to make the conversion from oil to
coal burning apparatus while the
vessel Is working her cargo. Thus,
the change, which will take about
three days, can be accomplished with
out delaying (he ship.
At Yokohama an extra crew of
about 20 men. necessitated by the
coal-burning appliances, will be
shipped for the cruise through the
orient and back to Yokohama, and
there the extra crew will be dis
charged. While the ship is loading at
Yokohama for the return trip to Port
land, the oil-burning appliances will
be substituted for the coal burners.
It is possible that sufficient fuel oil
can be secured to keep one boiler
heated with this fuel, in which case
the changes necessary will be less and
a smaller extra crew will be required.
Government Supply Sooeht.
It has been learned by the Pacific
Steamship company that the United
States government has a quantity of
oil at Manila for the use of naval
vessels and the company is now trying
to make arrangements to buy or bor
row a portion of this supply.
The steamer Waban, the first of
me roruana neet to oe aiiectea Dy
the oil shortage, lost a blade of her
propellor at sea about a week ago.
She will be due at Yokohama Monday,
but because of the loss of the blade
is not expected to reach that port
on time.
Mr. O'Connor said yesterday that
the Waban and the Wawalona will
both be drydocked for overhauling
and painting on their next visit to
this port, and that new bronze pro
pellors will be fitted on the vessels
at this time in place of. the cast steel
screws which they now carry. All
the other ships of the Portland-Oriental
fleet are equipped with bronze
propellors.
The next vessel in the Admiral
line's oriental service to reach Port
land will be the steamer Abercos,
which left Yokohama April 9 for this
port. A radib report received from
the Abercos yesterday stated that
she was 2700 miles from the Columbia
river lightship April 15.
The steamer Montague, now loading
at municipal terminal No. 4 for five
oriental ports, will sail Monday.

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal.. April 18. (Spe.
clal.) Lack of return freight from the
far east to the United States has brought
about a war of steamship rates and car
goes are now being carried back to San
Francisco on shipping boara vessels at
rates so low that the expenses of opera
tion cannot be paid, according to advices
received here. One report has it that the
steamer West Conob brought 2500 tons of
oriental merchandise at a $3 rate. This
Is fully an low as anytnlng known in the
days of the old Pacific Mail, when steam
ship companies went Into a wild scramble
to get any kind of freight at any kind
of a rate so as to have ballast for the
home-bound voyage. According to the
advices, the Asiatic ports are filled with
ships of all nations and there is not
nearly enough freight to go around. There
still remain a number of shipping board
vessels built at the Japanese shipyards
that have to be delivered In the United
States. It Is reported that these are sup
piled with cargo at any old rate and
thus unusual competition works a hard
ship for securing more freight here for
trans-shipment offshore. The shipping men
announce, that the situation cannot popst
bly be improved unless the railways re
serve the right to Install preferable rates
on exports. If this is not permitted and
the present rate Is raised, as proposed
some 25 per cent. It is expected that the
trans-continental freighting will cease and
this will further hamper the movement of
the overseas commerce here and at other
Pacific coast ports.
Owing to the state of war existing in
the state of Sonora. Mexico, the authori
ties here now refuse to clear vessels for
the port of Guayamas. it was announces
today. 8teamshlp concerns here operating
to the lower coast report that there Is a
consequent demand for the transportation

LUMBER GUT INCREASES
PRODUCTION FOR LAST WEEK
SLIGHTLY A.BOVE NORMAL.
Switchmen's Strike and Shortage
of Cars Cause Substantial Redac
tion in Quality Shipped.
Lumber production in western Ore
gon and western Washington for the
week endings April 10, aggregated
90,767,488 feet, according to the regu
lar report of the West Coast Lumber
men's association, based upon figures
from 125 sawmills. This is 93 per
cent above normal. In the face of
this, however, the switchmen's strike
and the shortage of cars reduced the
rail movements for the week below
those of the several weeks Immediatly
preceding. Actual shipments were
1778 cars of 53,340.000 feet. The re
port continues:
"Total shipments of rail and water
business and local deliveries from
these 125 mills were 68,016,877 feet a
difference of 22.750,611 feet below the
week's production. This excess of
production is enabling those mills
that have been short of stock to re
plenish their supplies.
"Car supply since April 1 has not
been as adequate as the general
average through the month of March
Some mills report extreme difficulty
in getting cars.
"Export business continues prom
ising. Nw export orders accepted
last week by the mills reporting to
the association barometer were nearly
6,000,000 feet.
"Additional statistics compiled by
the association show that 123 mills,
during the entire month of March, cut
a total of 342,948,317 feet and shipped
529,012,415 feet as compared to a nor
mal cut and shipment of 352,710,032
feet.
"Reports from 105 Identical mills
show that the cut in March. 1920. was
!-(9,61S.BS?i feet compared to 234,180,491
feet in March, 1919. a gain of 76,435,

Camels expert blend of choice Turk

Camels blend to either kind of to
