the open shop pfan in Industry. The
shipyards are to open up shortly. Our
association has . been working with
them for the open shop, and I think
will be successful.
"We have one obstacle In our way
in this direction. Mr. David Rodgers.
It is reported that he Is trying to buy
No. 2 yard of Skinner & Eddy In this
city, and judgir.g from past experi
ence with him, he will unionize any
yard he may acquire. I am wonder
ing If it is possible for you to assist
us in any way that will not Jeopar
dize your interests, as we know that
you favor the open shop.
'If Mr. Rodgers opens a yard here,
he will unionize it, as is taken for
granted by union officials here. If he
does so, it will follow that the other
yards will be forced to do the same.
I presume he will come to you or your
association for steel contracts, and
your Influence might change his atti
tude. "I can refer you as to my standing
personally to J. D. Armour, Arthur
SEATTLE, Wash.. May 13. (Spe
clal.) The Associated Industries did
not sponsor the'letter to Judge E. H.
Gary of the steel trust, asking his
support in an effort to keep ravld
Rodgers from opening a unionized
shipyard in Seattle.
Air. Itodgcrs, president and founder.
of the David Rodgers Shipbuilding
corporation, abandoned possession of
the former Skinner & Eddy yard No.
2, withdrawing all his organization
from the plant. Howard Cosgrove,
Seattle district attorney, for the
emergency fleet corporation, later
took over the yard with a force of
watchmen. This, it was announced,
ended the deal which Mr. Rodgers
arranged with the shipping board for
the purchase of the yard by his cor
poration. The real source of the letter to
Judge Gary was made clear today
when, following a disclaimer from the
Associated Industries, the writer
made the letter public.
The writer Is E. H. Luby, a salaried
employe of the "American Association
of Craftsmen and Workmen." Ho for
merly was ..employment manager for
the Waterfront Employers' associa
tion. He has lived In Seattle 20 years.
He lives with his wife and three chil
dren at 2622 Thirty-eighth avenue
southwest.
"Equal Opportunity" Asked.
Luby said: I
"The credit and responsibility for
the letter belongs entirely to the
American Association of Craftsmen
and Workmen, an organization of
some 3000 American citizens who de
fend the right of every American to
work, regardless of whether or not he
is a union member.
"The letter was not written with
any wish or intention of preventing
Mr. Rodgers from engaging in the
shipbuilding business, but in the Viope
that influence could be brought to
bear upon him to allow equal oppor
tunity for all American citizens to ex
pect employment in his yard when it
opened. Similar letters were sent to
others whom we thought might bave
influence with Mr. Rodgers.
"There was no thought of blocking
him in the financing of his project
or in obtaining material.
"Open Shop" Emphasised.
"The letter was written on the sole
initiative of this association and
signed by me personally. This asso
ciation, composed entirely of work
men, stands unalterably for the open
shop and the advancement of industry.
We made no effort to block Rodgers
in his efforts to revive shipbuilding,
as the opening of a shipyard is as
much in our interest as In the interest
of the rest of the community.
"American citizens who were barred
from service in the shipyards during
the war because they did not carry
union cards, however, do not wish to
see that condition again when . the
yards do open up, and our sole pur
pose and aim in this matter was to
protect our rights as American citi
zens." Office Maintained In City.
The association which Luby repre
sents maintains an office at 94 Spring
street. It was organized last Vctober
m Seattle. Some of its organizers say
they are union members, or have been.
"We are for the open-shop princi
ple, through and through." said J. Wr.
McDaniel. secretary. "We have 67
crafts represented. We aim to place
men in Jobs."
"Where do you get the money?" he
was asked.
"From dues only $1 a month."
"Are you a union man?"
"I was a member of bollermakers'
union No. 144. I got tired of listen
ing to the numerous appeals for
money for this and that. So I quit.,
and started working as a longshore
man.
TTalon Axneet Is Dlcansefl.
"After I got a Job I was told I would
have to Join the union, when I
tried to they would not let me in be
cause they were only accepting one
new member a month.
"Then I became a carpenter's
helper. As a result of these experi
ences I got the notion for this associa
tion and took a prime part in or
ganizing It."
"How jid Dave Rodgers get Luby's
letter to Gary?"
"I don't know, but If we had known
bo wanted to see one we would have
sent one to him. There is no mystery
about our work."
Other shipbuilders In Seattle said
they had figured on the ships which
Rodgers wanted to build and decided
they could not make a profit on them
at the price named.
The contracts, they pointed out,
have been "kicked around the coun
try" for months. Rodgers would lose
money if he tried to build them, they
insisted, one estimate of Rodgers' loss
running as high as $100,000 a ship.
Belief of bankers that Rodgers
couldn't build the ships at the con
tract ffgure was given as the real
reason lor ineir reiusai to oacK him
financially with J2.000.000 perform
ance bonds.
"Rodgers knows shipbuilding, but
he doesn t know costs, one man said,

OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU,
Washington. May 13. President Wil
son's veto of the legislative, execu
tive and Judicial appropriation bill to
day took congress by surprise. The
euprise appeared not so much to be
the fact of a veto, but that Mr. Wil
son should complain of "encroachment
by congress on executive authority."
This appears to be Mr. Wilson's an
swer to charges long ago made by
republicans and now re-echoed by
leading democrats, that the executive
has usurped every kind of authority
that he could find and has been seek
ing something new to usurp. It will
be conceded, doubtless, however, that
some of the president's points are well
taken because in its attempt to. put a
check on waste and extravagance in
printing and in the administration of
public building space, congress inad
vertently may have stepped over the
line in a few places.
High Purpose Conceded.
The country. However, will hardly
understand what congress was trying
to do when it placed in the legis
lative, executive and Judicial appro
priation bill the section which caused
Mr. Wilson to use the veto. To state
the matter fairly, congress was seek
ing to put a check on itself as well as
on the executive department. The
purpose was to enjoin the executive
departments from printing large
numbers of expensive documents for
the use of members of congress and
others to eend out to their constitu
ents for campaign purposes.
Congress was well aware when.. that
section was passed that several mem
bers of the house and tenate would
be hampered in their campaigns, but
the law was conceived in the high
purpose of " preventing waste by
whomsoever practiced.
Chief Objection Aoted. .
Tlfe president, however, appears to
oDject particularly to that provision
which would put a check on the
liberal use of the "multigraph and
the mimeograph" by the executive de
partments. Plainly stated, this pro-
ision was aimed to stop adminlstra
ion press agents from using govern
ment money for political propaganda.
The manner in which the executive
departments under President Wilson
have maintained press bureaus Is
sometimes declared to be the eighth
wonder of the world. Not only reams
but bales of paper bave been used
laily to sing the glories of depart
ment heads and bureau chiefs and
every department of the government
has bad a booster organization work-
ng overtime. The press room has been
the only office working after 4:30 in
the afternoon, when all other help
eagerly quits and goes home.
People Fay for Hobbies.
Government publications. It has
been shown in house and senate de
bates, have been used to the extent of
millions of copies to promote ad
ministration hobbies, regardless of
the fact that the cost fell upon a very
large proportion of the people of the
country wholly at odds with the poli
cies, ideas and idiosyncracies of MrS
Wilson and come of his cabinet members.
Senator Smoot of Utah, who was
the author of the objectionable sec
tion, has waged a heroic fight to re
duce waste in government printing,
but the president's veto will compel
the Utah senator to find another and
different method of reaching the evil.

CORVALLIS. Or., May 13. (Special.)
The Benton county cannery will not
be idle this summer, says its manager
Ira Hutchings, for the local growers
have not demanded a prohibitive prlca
for their berries. Manager Hutchings
says that he has contracted with
number of logan growers for 10 cents
and has the assurance that his can
nery is going to get all the berries It
can handle at that price.
Ho figured out that, whereas he
could handle 200,000 tons at 10 cents.
he could handle but 50 tons at 12
cents, and above that price he would
not contract at all. His conviction is
that a high price will make the canned
fruit prohibitive to ordinary custo
mers and would so curtail the market
that no canneryman can afford to
take the risk.
Mr. Hutchings says Jobbers have
been refusing to contract for canned
goods at the high prices for the rea
son that retailers refuse to buy of
the Jobbers. The retailers say there
is a price beyond which the customer
will not go in the purchase of berries
and otherfru!t, ancLtbat in their es
timation the limit has been reached.

considering foreign trades and the
press George M. Cornwall was vice
chairman. l' C. Knapp in the orient group
mofed that the chairman appoint a
committee of five to formulate
resolution to put before the general
meeting Saturday that would express
to the oriental countries the senti
ment of American traders for fair
play.' justice and the sentiment favor
able to the suppression of yellow
journalism that preceding speakers
said had given a wrong impression
of this country to the people of
Asiatic countries.
The keynote of the promotion of
large trade between coast ports and
the countries beyond the Pacific was
declared to regard seriously the hab
its, customs and prejudices of the
people to be dealt with. Tho speakers
held that there are markets for fruits,
canned goods.'lumber, condensed milk,
woolens, machinery and the manufac
tured goods.
Busy as beavers are the Portland
and Astoria delegates to the trade
convention to make 'shippers and offi
cial representatives of foreign coun
tries acquainted with the port, trans
portation and traffic conditions that
afford greatest economy and dispatch
through the Columbia gateway. Each
Portland delegate has taken the spe
cial task of bringing a certain num
ber of representatives from other
trade centers to the exhibit made by
the chamber that shows in an illus
trative way the situation.
Full datajrovided by the port com
mission and prepared by the experts
of - the allied bodies of Portland are
brought to the personal attention of
each delegate and many of them learn
for the first time of the volume of
business that has been, established
through the port.
Eastern and oriental traders ex
press their surprise at the true condi
tions pertaining to the port but the
officials and representatives of ship
companies are well apprised of the
development and striving to obtain a
share of the movement that has set
in by that route.
Important conferences of traders
with the port officials. Mi H. Houser,
general chairman. President Van
Duzer and Secretary Dodson of the
chamber, engineers of the port and
dock commissions were held today,
the results of which will be later

OREGON DEMOCRATS SPLIT
(Continued from First Page.)
administration candidate to support
for president.
. Lrtltr Held Challenge.
Under the heading, "The Blacklist."
the New York Tribune says, edito
rially, today:
"The president's Ore-on letter has
been accepted in that state as a chal
lenge to Senator Chamberlain's can
didacy for re-election. Chairman
Hamajter, to whom the letter was ad
dressed. Is managing the campaign of
Mr. Starkweather, Mr. Chamberla'n's
opponent in the democratic primaries..
Mr. Chajnberlaln voted on March 19
last for ratification of the treaty with
the Dodge reservations. If, as the
president holds, these reservations
'nullify' the pact and are a strain
upon American honor, then Mr. Cham
berlain is a co-conspirator to destroy
our 'world leadership" and to prevent
the application of 'moral and Christian
principles' to the world's problems.
Big Boycott Undertaken.
"Mr. Chamberlain, has committed
the unforgiveable sin of supporting
treaty reservations which the presi
dent dislikes. He is to be defeated
for renomlnation if the administration
can bring about that result, even
though a democratic seat in the sen
ate may be lost in the process.
' "But if Mr. Chamberlain is to be
blacklisted all the other democratic
senators who voted as he did on
March 19 must be blacklisted. It is
a boycott of . huge proportions. But
the president seems perfectly willing
to defeat any senator or to lose any
state In his effort to punish democrats
-who failed in loyal appreciation of his
treaty policies and his personally con
ducted world leadership.",
Exceptions are taken to statements
of Dow V. Walker, manager of the
Wood campaign in jregon, by Joseph
re. Dunne, manager ior Dowden in this
state. Air. Dunne resent the lmputa
tion that General Wood is weaning
away the supporters of Governor
Lowden, and issues the following dec
laration:
"I again feel It is necessary for me
to make an emphatic denial that the
Lowden forces are leaving and going
to any other candidate. A stutcmcrrt
in today's Oregonian is attributed to
Dow Walker, in which he says: 'In
the second place, wc would have a
conventional remonstrance from Mr.
Dunne, who Is in charge of the Low
den campaign, and one or two of the
Hoover people.'
"Let it suffice to say that Ihe peo
ple in the Lowden headquarters are
convinced that Dow Walker is su
fering from an illusion.
. Ooija Board Blamed.
"Undoubtedly Mr. Walker has be
come conversant with the mysteries
of the ouija board and has chosen for
his guide, since all ouija players must
have a guide, no other than 'Laughing
Water' of Ivory bubble fame, and this
guide alone, so far as the writer can
say, must be his authority for the
assumption that Governor Lowden's
followers are leaving him, because
through no other source could such
conclusion be reached.
' "In the five states in which Gov
ernor Lowden, General Wood and Sen
ator Johnson have been candidates.
Governor Lowden is only SO. 000 votes
behind General Wood, and the state
ment by Mr. Walker, that Governor
Lowden had lost part of Illinois, i ab
solutely untrue and we refer to the
Associated Press reports of yesterday
to show that the state of Illinois is
solidly behind Governor Lowden and
that he has not lost a delegate, despite
the expensive campaign carried on by
the Wood people in the city of Chi
cago, with the aid of Big Bill Thomp
son s machine; whereas. Lowden
spent not even as much as $1 and,
in one of his addressse to the people
of Chicago, he said, 'I do not intend
to pay one dollar towards newspaper
or billboard advertising: I will let my
efforts In behalf of the Etate of Illi
nois say whether I am worthy of your
support or not and abide by the
result.
81.000 Majority Claimed.
"The result was a majority in the
state of Illinois of 81,000, although
it is probably well known that Gen
eral Leonard Wood, on account of his
association with the army and having
ived in Chicago where his head
quarters were for a long period or
time and where ho is probably as well
known as Governor Lowden himself.'
and after a campaign costing what is
variously estimated from $200,000 to
$300,000, still the state of Illinois
voted to support Governor Lowden by
this 81.000 majority.
When Senator Borah requested that
all of the campaign committees sub
mit their contributions at Washing
ton on a certain day, Louis L. Eraratr
son was there and. please let us say.
Governor Lowden was the only candi
date whose manager was there. This

ing to hide and, wnile we nave ueen
carrying on a clean ana nonesi cam
paign, have never resonea 10 me

other fellow in the race ror me pur
pose of saving our own hide.
New Hampshire Is Cited.
"One of the paragraphs to which
I wiBh to direct attention is the one
regarding native sons, in which Mr.
Waiker dwells at length upon the
record which Dr. Wood made in the
state of New Hampshire as a native
son. in which he said: 'Only one can
didate so far has made an impression
In nis native siaie ana mat is vtru
eral Wood.' If I remember correctly,
every other candidate respected the
native son principle and stayed out
of New Hampshire. Small wonder
that Dr. Wood carried the state, with
no one running against him. I must
say that this Is a record to be Justly
proud of and I want to congratulate
Mr. Walker on the discovery of this
incident.
"Let me also add that General
Wood's management does not adhere
to the gentlemanly example set by
the other candidates and, in their
efforts to win on the first ballot,
spent their money so lavishly in the
states of other candidates and in
vading the native state of Senator
Harding, caused the manager of Sen
ator Harding to ay that the nomina
tion of tiir. Proctor's candidate is
impossible. "
"While we do not doubt the value
of Mr. Walker's political judgment,
and feeling certain that General Wood
will be defeated, we feel that he h
admitted it a little too early and
hate to express our sympathy this
early in the game to one of the fel
lows who lias fought so valiantly in
J the race. We are not acquainted with
the intricacies of the ouija board and
are, therefore, unable to find any
thing that would look like a prophecy.
and present the cold, hard facts to
the republican electorate of Oregon.
