MORE GEAR IX USE THIS YEAR
THAN EVER BEFORE.
Fishing Season on Columbia River
Opens Today With Every Indi
cation of Bis Catch.
ASTORIA, Or.'. April 30. (Special.)
More1 gear will be placed In the
water when the spring fishing season
on the Colwnhia River opens at noon
tomorrow than In many years. Such
is the assertion made by those di
rectly interested in the industry.
About 500 new boats have been built
at various points on the lower river
during- the past fall and winter for
gillnetting and trolling, and the indi
cations are that approximately 3000
boats .will be heading for the various
drifts. j, -
The majority of the traps in Baker's
bay will lower their leads at the
opening of the season "and at least
four seining grounds will start fish
ing immediately, while all are ex
pected to begin -operations much
earlier than usual, as with the small
amount of snow in the mountains,
only e. slight freshet in the river is
looked for. Some big catches are ex
pected during the first week, as large
numbers of chi nooks are known to be
in the river. A gillnetter who was
arrested a few days" ago for illegal
fishing had his net in the water but
.10 minutes and secured 17 fine big
salmon. Pilots returning from out
side report great schools of salmon
playing about the mouth of the river,
with herds of seals and sealions de
stroying hundreds of them.
All the canneries and cold stprage
plants which operated last year are
ready to begin packfng and the Point
Adams Packing company's new plant
at Hammond will be operating in

victed by a Jury in the court of Judge
Bejt, Sorllie was not an organizer
for the I. W. W.. but his testimony
on the etand was that he was an
active member and ardent, sympa
thizer with the views of the organi
zation. , Judge Morrow's instructions to the
jury were a more strict interpreta
tion of the criminal syndicalism law
than was laid down by Judge Belt.
He held that the prosecution must
have sh.own.that the I. W. W. actually
advocated violence within Multnomah
county since 1918 and that evidence
that they so taught in other states or
in other parts of Oregon would not
be competent for consideration- -by the
Jury. Much of the state's 'case was
based on documents crrculated by the
organization in Washingto: A great
deal of the literature spread broad
cast in Washington during 1918 and
19J9 had not been prevalent among
Portland I. W. W. since a successful
federal raid of thei headquarters in
1917
" Vaaderveer Sheda Tears.
Further, Judge Morrow ruled that
the prosecution must have shown that
Sorllie knew the purposes of I. W. W.
when he joined the organization, that
the purposes were unlawful and that
he joined with intent to carry out
such illegal aims. tfi
In the concluding argument for
the defense yesterday, George F.
Vanderveer, I. W. W. attorney, shed
familiar Vanderveer tears as he read
pathetic poem concerning- a '. little
girl whose I. W. W. father had been
drafted in the late war. It was en
titled "Don't Take My Papa Away,"
reaching a sad conclusion in the un
timely end of the father somewhere
in France with, the pitiful plea of
his baby girl to stern officers ot the
law ringing in his ears.
Vanderveer declared that 'the fol
lowers of the I. W. W. cult were all
men of peace, who believed in get
ting control of industry and govr
ernment by quiet, orderly' means, who
were opposed to warfare in every
form as evinced by their opposition
to the draft during the world war.
He made a plea for consideration in
the name of labor and of the "lowly
isazarene.
Itlbald Sonera Written.
To these arguments, Joseph L.
Hammersly, deputy district attorney,
replied in the closing argument for
the state, saying:
" know, from the testimony that
has been introduced here, that the
I. W. W. is the most damnable, trea
sonable organization that has existed
since the angel stood with flaming
sword guarding the gates of Kden.
Six days after America entered the
war this organization wanted to call
a general strike to cripple production
and disarm our men.
"The I. W. W. have the audacity to
take such tunes as 'Onward, Chris
tian Soldier." 'Throw Out the Life
line' and 'Nearer, My God, - to Thee
and have 'written 'to them words of
ribaldry and ridicule, rotten, dirty
songs. And when the strong arm of
the law reaches out and grasps them,
they appeal to you through the worst
sort of sophistries, compare them
selves with the lowly Nazarene, and
say they are standing up for you."
SEATTLE FACING STRIKE
LOXGSHORE.MEX MAKE DE-
MAXD ON EMPLOYERS.
Shipping Men Said to Be Opposed
to Using "on-Union Labor In
Case of Walkout.
SEATTLE, April 30. As the result
of a demand made by the Seattle local
of the International Longshoremen's
union that the Water-front Employ
ers' association select water-front
workers from a list posted in the
longshoremen's hall Seattle today was
facing a strike which may tie up
privately-owned and port-commission
shipping terminals from Smith cove
to the east waterway. Only the fact
that no new gangs were needed
averted a walkout, it was stated.
The port commission has been in
sisting on an open shop, while union
leaders declare that without the list
system the work is not equally divid
ed among all the union men, going
only to a few. Members of the Em
ployers' association today asked rep
resentatives of the United States ship
ping board what course the board
would follow in case of a strike. The
employers suggested that no attempt
be made to load or discharge vessels
owned bj the government or by pri
vate corporations until the labqr dif
ficulties were settled. Shipping ' men
generally. It was stated, are opposed
to using non-union men in case of a
walkout.
Questions of hours or wages are not
involved in the controversy. The list
system was abolished by the employ
ers about two weeks ago and they
insist upon 30 days' notice of its re-i
instatement. demanding the right to
select men in accordance with their
ability and not from a list prepared
by the longshoremen's union.

No agreement was reached on meth
ods of carrying out the programme
of clean-up week. May 16 to !2, by
the general commUtee of the Portland
Realty board and the city officials
headed by Mayor Baker, who held a
meeting Friday night.
A plan worked . out by the realty
board and- Fire Marshall Grenfell.
whereby it was proposed to have the
residents of the various sections of
the city gather their rubbish at given
points in each district during the
week, to be burned and carried away.
seemed puncturedby the declaration
of Superintendent Donaldson eft the
street cleaning department tnat tne
department would be unable to care
for this additional rubbish, and by the
assertion of Mayor Baker that the
city had no funds to appropriate to
provide additional cleaning equip
ment during that period, although ha
pledged support to the general move
ment. It had been estimated that the sum
of 15000 would be sufficient to enable
the streets to be thoroughly cleaned
in one week of all rubbish which the
residents would gather.
The meeting was adjourned after
the passage of a resolution naming a
special committee to consider the
problem and work out a plan for its
solution to be presented to the gen
eral committee. This committee,
which will meet this afternoon, was
named as follows: Fire Marshal Gren

SEPARATE ISSUE OPPOSED
WATERFRONT PL-AX SENT TO
COMMITTEE FOR REPORT.
Matter Will Be Considered by All
Interests Concerned and Re
port Presented Later.
The $10,000,000 waterfront improve
ment project presented to the city
council by City Engineer Laurgaard
was yesterday referred to the com
mittee of 21 lor consideration and
report, by vote of those attending a
joint meeting of the city council, the
commission of public docks and the
Port of Portland commission.
The. plan came before the joint
meeting, together with the question
of wheUier it should be referred to
the voters as a separate bond issue,
or should be joined with the Swan
island development, to be carried into
execution, unit by unit, as funds
permitted.
The consensus of opinion was that
to place the waterfront plan on the
ballot, separately from the Swan
Island plan was to defeat both. It
was explained that the port commis
sion if consolidated, would be au
thorized to levy certain funds, which
could be utilized in Carrying out the
waterfront development in small
units. .
' By adopting this method the voters
would not be asked to authorize more
than a $10,000,000 bond issue, and the
work could be spread over a period
of years:
Committees appointed by all inter
ests connected with the waterfront
will report to the committee of 21,
and It will probably be at least two
months before the final report on the
matte? will be submitted to the city
council. When this is done a con
ference will be held to decide what
course to pursue.

In the Springtime
It's just at this time of the year that
we seed something taken from Nature
to restore the vital fereea.
People get sick because they go sway
from Nature, sad the only way to get
well is to go back. Something grows out
of the ground in the form of vegetation
to care almost every ill. Some of these
Tegetable growths are understood by
man, and some are not. Animals, it
would seem, know what to do when
they are sick better than men and
women. Observers hsve noted that a
sick horse, dog or eat will stop eating
food and seek out some rsget&ble growth
in the field or yard, which, when found
and eaten, often restores appetite and
health. Haven't yoo seen these animals
do this very thing yourself?
Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., long
since found herbs and roots provided
by Nature to overcome constipation,
the ways in addition to two launches
completed, and several thousand dol
lars of material for ,lhe manufacture
of furniture.
