THEATERS DECLARED
PROFITING BY STRIKE
C. S. Jensen, Member of
Movie Firm, Makes Assertion.
PROPAGANDA HELD BOOST
1'ublic Interest Intensified' and At
tendance Records All Broken,
Declares Manager.
Although the "intensive" campaign
of the motion picture operators and
musicians against the local motion
picture houses owned in whole or in
part by the Jensen & Von Herberg
interests has been in effect since last
Saturday, the net result of the etrike
propaganda has been to intensify
public interest in these theaters, and
business has broken all former rec
ords, according to C. S. Jensen, senior
member of the firm.
It was last Saturday that the musi
cians' and operators' unions chartered
a seaplane and scattered broadcast
from cloudland small leaflets which
........ ........ --- -- :
sought to convey the misinformation 1
that the Columbia theater, one of the
.lensen-Von Herberg houses, had been
closed because' it was "unfair" to or
ganized labor.
True Warding Beneath.
'Columbia Theater Closed, Unfair,"
was the black-faced type legend
which caught the eye as the leaflets
fluttered earthward, but careful read
ing of the leaflets showed the true
wording to be:
'Columbia theater orchestra has
closed Its engagement at the Colum
bia theater because the house is un
fair." "It was the best advertising we
could have received from the unions,"
was the testimony of A. C. Raleigh,
manager of the Columbia. "The Sat
urday afternoon that these leaflets
were scattered about the city broke
all former Saturday afternoon attend
ance records at this theater. Scores
of people came to me and said they
were determined to patronize our
theater simply because of this mis
leading propaganda spread by the
labor unions."
Although the strike of the motion
picture operators and musicians has
been In progress since July 10, Mr.
Jensen said yesterday his company
had no intention of giving quarter to
the labor unions, and so far as he is
concerned the strike, or walkout, as
he characterized it, can go on Indef
initely. Walkout First at Tacomi,
A history of the walkout against
the motion picture houses operated
by the Jensen & Von Herberg inter
ests shows that it originated in Ta
coma June 30, last, when the Moore
Amusement company declined to sub
mit to an inoreased wage scale as
offered by the operators in that city
Ten days later, the operators and
musicians in Portland, Seattle, Butte,
Bremerton and Yakima were called
out on a sympathetic strike by their
international unions. According to E.
E. Pettingill, one of the leaders of
the local strike committee, the walk
out in Portland was directed only at
the Jensen & Von Herberg interests,
and was ordered, not as a sympathetic
etrike, but because all the labor em
ployes involved were employes of the
Jensen & Von Herberg interests.
Assurance that the Portland walk
out was based on a false premise was
repeated yesterday by - Mr. Jensen
when he authorized an earlier state
ment that the Jensen & Von Herberg
interests do not control the Tacoma
motion picture houses first affected
by the strike.
Ownenhlp Is Denied.
"The theaters there are owned
Jointly by the Moore Amusement com
pany, the Greater Theaters company
of Seattle and John Ij. Baker," he
said. "The Greater Theaters com
pany owns 50 per cent of the stock
and the Moore Amusement company
and John L. Baker own 50 per cent of
the stock. The Jensen & Von Her
berg Interests own but 60 per cent of
the stock of the Greater Theaters
company, which gives the Jensen &
Von Herberg interests but 25 per cent
Interest in these Tacoma theaters
affected by the strike In that city.
Our company has an iron-clad agree
ment with the Moore Amusement
company to the effect tha4 it cannot
In any way dictate the policies of the
company, and H. T. Moore, manager,
has complete control over the employ
ment of all persons at the theater.
"When the local operators and mu
sldaJis called their 'sympathetic
etrike. they directed their attack at
our company, giving us absolutely no
defense. Before the local strike was
called I called Mr. Moore by long
distance telephone and urged him to
eettle his differences with the union
but be declined to do so.
Persons! Qonrrel Denied
"So far as I am concerned I have
bo quarrel with the unions In Port'
land or elsewhere. I was once I
union man myslf and believe in the
principles of onion laDOr, but when
these local employes demand that I
do something which is not within
my power to grant, they are asking
the Impossible.
At union headquarters, labor union
officials appeared confident that their
fforts would soon be crowned with
is-access. They talked about the
"scoop" which they said they "put
over" the police department when
they chartered an airship to scatter
the strike leaflets about the city.
"They were dropped by an -angel
from heaven," laughed E. E. Pet
tingill, in charge of the general
etrike committee. "I understand the
police have a warrant ready for the
man who did this job. I al-so am in
formed they have a certain police
man ready to make the arrest. They
have made up their minds that the
man Is guilty and already have de
cided upon the penalty which shall
be imposed. All they need now -Is
the man who took the airplane ride."
Utah Declared Birthplace.
Other bits of strike information
riven out at union headquarters were
prompt'ly and indignantly denied by
Mr. Jensen. Mr. Pettinglll and his
associates' -said that Mr. Jensen was
born in Denmark and did not obtain
citizenship papers in the United
fUates until about the time war was
declared. They also said that a
brother of Mr. Jensen fought on the
Prussian side in the recent war with
Germany.
"It is similar to other morsels of
Information they have given out
Since this walkout has been in prog
ress," said Mr. Jensen. "The fact is
that I was born at Richmond, Utah.
September 22, 1SS1, or just 39 years
ago today. "I had three brothers who
served with the American .forces
during the war and one of them was
with a detachment of marines of
which but 19 escaped death or wounds
in France." 1
CRUELTY CHARGE DISMISSED
Accusation Againt C. S. Jensen Is
" Held Xot Sustained.
Charges of cruelty to animals as
preferred last week against C. S. Jen
sen of the Jensen & Von Herberg mo
tion picture interests were dismissed
yesterday in municipal court by Judge
Rossman. who held that the charges
had not been sustained.
Other charges of disorderly con
duct, growing out of alleged fistic
encounters with C. S. Woodruff and
Harold Jones, photographers, were
continued until Friday. These latter
charges resulted from efforts of the
photographers to take pictures of the
theaters under commission from the
motion picture and musicians' unions
A disorderly conduct charge also is
pending against Jones.
F.
SIMS PROMOTION COMPANY
UNDER INVESTIGATION.
Investors In- Building Scheme Are
Asked to Appear Today and
Present Evidence.
WHile investors who have entrusted
their money to S. Sims, promoter of
the Bungalow Builders, 230 Slark
street, are clamoring for its return.
District Attorney Evans is seeking
a way in wnicn ne can comply
with the request of the Portland' Real
ty board and better business bureau
of the Portland Ad club and issue a
criminal warrant for the arrest of
Sims, who now is supposed to be in
Seattle.
Investors have been asked to ap
pear in his office at 10:30 o'clock this
morning with Charles W. English, of
he better business bureau, and Fred
Brockman of the realty board, that
all the cases may be investigated and
criminal action taken, if possible.
Sims Inserted advertisements in
Portland papers offering to finance
future bungalow owners by bulld-
ng their homes within a stated period
and allowing them to pay the cost at
the rate of 110 to $20, a month and
nterest at 6 per cent on the invest
ment. According to realty board in
vestigators, Sims has not begun work
on any buildings though many pros
pective clients have called at his of-
flee. Many are said to have paid a
substantial sum down on the drawing
of the contract. - '
'Sims cannot be charged with ob
taining money by false pretenses,"
commented Evans, "for It cannot be
proved that he did not Intend to
carry out the contracts as yet. He
merely promised to do something in
the future."

DICAP
HELD PERIL TO ALL
All Industry Menaced, Says
Bureau Federation.
ECONOMIC OUTLOOK DARK
Xation Declared to Be Facing Con
dition That -Threatens to Ini
peril Social Order.
CHICAGO, Sept. 22. The American
Farm Bureau federation, in a state
ment tonight summarizing its inves
tigation of business, industrial and
agricultural conditions, declared that
America "is facing an agricultural
economic condition which, if not in
telligently dealt with, will lead to
consequences so grave as to affect all
industry to the point of imperiling
the social order."
The statement says farmers must
have immediate help in transporta
tion, finance and labor, and recom
mends the following remedial efforts:
Preferential treatment in transpor
tation of all farm produce and all
goods consigned to farmers which are
necessary to conduct the business of
farming.
More profits for farmers, better
distribution systems which would
tend to eliminate middlemen, and
stabilized prices.
Ample-finance, with rural bank as
suming the obligation of financing
the farmer with long and priority
credits.
Protection from "wildcat" invest
ments which were said to be taking
millions of dollars from farmers an
nually. Equalization ol agricultural and
industrial labor wages, which, the
statement declares can be accom
plished only by lowering industrial
wages or increasing farm wages
Encouragement of immigration.
Industries Held Topheavy.
"We have tried to rehabilitate our
country by every method except
through sweat of the brow," the state-
ment says. "Many industries have been
so stimulated that they are topheavy.
Liberal credit has had the effect of
inflating values. Abnormal credit ex
ensions granted to manufacturers of
luxuries and non-essentials have
largely been expended in driving up
wages and the cost of living, while
tne producers of essentials have been
overlooked. We need more capital.
ratner than more credit.
"The nation's prosperity depends
primarily upon bumper crops, for ag
riculture is the basic foundation of
every human endeavor.
"We are facing an age in which
griculture and industry must move
forward hand in hand. Leaving the
interest of the farming class entirely
out of the question, it will be to the
advantage of the nation to grant nref
erentiai consideration to agricultural
requirements, even though other in
austries may be temporarily handi
capped.
Crop Movement Imperative.
concerning transportation the
statement says it will be months,
and even years, before our transpor
lauon systems can be restored to
tneir normal efficiency." and tha
preference must be granted asrricul
tural produce 'mmediately. so as to
move this years crops.
Concerning profits the statement
adds that more profits for the farmer
would necessarily mean higher costs
to tne consumer.
ine consumer need not nav more.
but the producer -must receive more.
it says. in. most cases we will find
the remedy in elimination of excessive
middlemen's profits.
The statement, in asking encourage
ment of immigration, declares that
tnis 19 necessary to supply labor and
aaas tnat tne mere fact that a ma
cannot speak English does not mean

FIRE LAW IS DEFERRED
COCXCIIi LAYS MATTER OVER
CXTIIi NEXT MONDAY.
Houses Where Anartments Lead
Direct to Escape Will Probably
Bo Exempt From Ordinance.
Although a partial report on the
proposed ordinance drafted to re
quire enclosed stairways, elevator
shafts and light vents was submitted
and adopted by the city council. Fire
Marshal Grenfell and Building Inspec
tor riummer were unable to submit
a complete report, with a result that
final consideration of the ordinance
was deferred until next Monday at
2 o ClOCK.
It was agreed by members of the
council that in cases where each
apartment in an partment house leads
directly to a standard fire escape, ex
emptions rrom the provisions of the
proposed ordinance will be made.
Frank S. Grant, appearing as at
torney for the hotelmens" associa
tion, urged that a similiar provision
be added to the ordinance in the case
of hotels and rooming houses. This
suggestion was referred to Fire Mar
shal Grenfell and Building Inspector
Flummer for consideration.
m the partial report. Mr, Grenfell
and Mr.,Plummer state that they in
vestigated two buildings with a view
of ascertaining the approximate costs
of making the repairs and alterations
required in the event that the pro
posed ordinance Is adopted.
in one large hotel where it would
be necesary to enclose two elevator
shafts and four stairways, the report
gave the approximate cost between
$12,000 and $15,000. and in a small
hotel where but one stairway was
found the estimated cost of alteration
was given as between $700 and $1000.
The report further stated that the
repairs required In the ordinance
provide simply the minimum of pro
tection and that unless the ordinance
was adopted by the council, many
hotels, apartment houses and rooming
houses in this city, would remain
potential fire traps with possibilities
of a repetition of the Elton Court
disaster at any time.
CHAMBER TP ISSUE ROLL
ROSTER WILD CONTAIN N AMES
OF 3600 MEMBERS BY TRADES.
Directors Name Aid to Committee
to Entertain Party on Park-to-Park
Tour.
Directors of the Portland Chamber
of Commerce yesterday authorized
the preparation of a roster of the
membership of the body, which now
exceeds 3600.
Frank Andrews, chairman of the
membership committee, asked the
board for the Order to issue a care
fully checked, classified and cross
indexed roster which will afford a
ready means of locating the members
irf various lines of trade. The roster,
it is believed, will prove of value to
the progressive business men who
believe that community service Is a
public duty.
In the campaign for increased
membership the committee has found
frequent inquiry for a roster, and it
is to sirpply this demand also that
the edition will be printed. It will
take some time to prepare and pub
lish the roster, so that it will finally
be checked up to a date to be deter
mined later, as near as possible to the
time of closing the forms. When
printed it will . form a comprehensive
business directory of the city, and
probably will become a regular publi
cation of the chamber.
a The directors or tne chamber at their
regular meeting yesterday named W.
J. Kofmann to assist the entertain
ment committee in the reception and
entertainment of the party engaged

PRINCIPALS WOULD i
CHANGE TENURE LAW
i
Greater Powers in Dismissal
Would Be Given Board.
SEVERAL PLAN'S ARE UP
Reduction In Pay and Rank Be
cause of Partial Inefficiency
Is Favored1 by Teachers.
A modification "of the present tenure
law, which will transfer the power of i
dismissing teachers, principles and
supervisors from the hands of the
commission now operating to the
school board, was advocated In a pe-"
tition approved yesterday afternoon
at a meeting of the principals' asso
ciation of the city.
"We principals do not want to hide
behind the tenure," said) one yester
day. "We feel that under the present
tenure we are under a cloud in the
eyes of the public, since It is so- dif
ficult to remove inefficient teachers,
principals and supervisors under the
present system. The principals wish
to take.-the lead in this movement.
We desire to declare an open season
for principals."
The principals say they feel that
the board should have the right to
dismiss teachers, since It has the
right to employ them. Under the plan
they suggest, the full board must be
present to act in cases for dismissal
which will first be recommended by
the superintendent, and a unanimous
vote will be necessary to dismiss any
teacher.
Lesislatnre Most Act.
The question of changing the teach
ers' tenure law must be taken before
the legislature, as It is a state law.
The resolution adopted yesterday
states:
"Because the school board has prac
tically given up trying to remove
teachers, by reason of long-drawn-out,
harassing and expensive trials,
over which they 'have no control, and
because we feel that the general pub
lic is in favor of such modification
of our present law as will leave no
undue protection to the inefficient
teacher, supervisor or principal, and
because we think it would promote a
better understanding of and respect
for rights and privileges as between
classes, therefore, be it
"Resolved, that the Portland Prin
cipals' association go on record as
favoring a modification of the pres
ent tenure giving the board of edu
cation the power to try all cases
against teachers, supervisors and
principals on the proper presentation
by the superintendent and by a unani
mous verdict of the full board mem
bership, to drop any such teacher, su
pervisor or principal so oharged and
so judged."
Grade Teachers Disciasa Act.
The petition is signed by C. E. Fer
guson, secretary of the association,
of which H. M. Sherwood is president.
The commission which tries teach
ers charged with misconduct or in
efficiency at present 1b composed of
three members.
Representatives of the grade teach
ers' association in a meeting also
discussed, proposed changes in the
tenure. Mrs. Jennie Richardson,
president of the association, presented
three changes, which she said had
been given to her by D. A. Grout,
city superintendent, as changes which
the school board members approved.
The first change in the tenure
which Mrs. Richardson presented to
the teachers was the plan which the
principals approved in their resolu
tion. The second modification is that a
"teacher may be transferred from one
classification to another classifica
tion with a lower salary by the un
animous vote of the full board." This
is suggested, since at the present time
teachers cannot be given lower sal
aries than they hold in their present
positions, and it is thought that some
times teachers might do more effec
tive work in a grade in which the
salary is slightly lower than they are
receiving. The same change is
thought to be necessary occasionally
in reducing a principal in rank, for
instance, it was explained. ,
Retirement Power Sucareatcd.
The third change in the tenure law
would be to give the power to the
school board to retire a teacher at
certain age to be determined later
and to make a further provision that
at the age of 70 a teacher must be
retired.
These three proposed modifications
In the present law will be taken by
the representatives who met yester
day back to their respective schools,
where they will be discussed by the
teachers.
The grade teachers' association will
hold a meeting next week probably
to determine the stand of the body on
these changes, which will first be
