3 TIIE MORXTXG OREGOXIAX, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1920 ASSEMBLY'S BRAKES ; PUT OEM DISARMING First Step to Be Cautious and Deliberate. BARNES RAPS DECISION English Labor Delegate Declares League Body Quibbles Too Much. uml J I as Xo I"luelt. ciple." Her adhesion. It la declared, was "adhesion in general." The documents are adduced to show it was clearly stated that Argentina sent delegates for the purpose of as sisting in the organization of the league, after having set forth in dip lomatic communications that it fa vored the establishment of a league in which all nations would partici pate without distinction. The government's adhesion, there fore, was conditional, it is further ex plained, and its delegates went to Geneva to discuss the conditions of the league's establishment. The Ar gentine government's view, at was de clared. Is that since the Geneva as sembly did not permit discussion of the Argentinian conditions as to the formation of the league, the with drawal of Argentina's delegation ends the matter. FIRST FROST HIPS EIRS COLD 6XAP HITS IKXRTIiAXD, BCT SUN IXTERVEXES. GEXEVA. Dec 14. (By the Associ ated Preset.) The first step for- dis armament of the nations must be cautious and deliberate, the assembly of the league of nations decided to day, notwithstanding sharp criticisms by George isicoll Barnes, the British l.Dor leader and Christian Lange of Korway. Mr. Barnes said there was "too much quibble and not enough pluck" in the decisions to go slowly. The policy of the United States on this Question, was, by more or less veiled allusions, invoked as one rea son why general disarmament can not be boldly grappled with at this time. Mr. Barnes said. H. A. I Fisher of .the British delegation, referred to "nations with powerful arms and munitions making facilities that still are outside the league." Enemies Held Disarmed. The absence from the league of ex-enemy countries also was referred to by Mr. Fisher. This brought from Mr. Barnes the retort: "They now are practically disarmed and cannot constitute a menace for years to come." A curious manifestation of the ses sion was the general applause of the delegates for the pleas made by Messrs Barnes and Larige for an im mediate minimum effort, while at the same time accepting the conclusions of the disarmament committee. These are, briefly, an effort to prevent the xuiure increase of armaments and propaganda in favor of decrease as a steady means of bringing about, eventual, but remote, general dis armament. France and Belgium accepted the committee's conclusions upon limita tions of armament expenditures during the next two years on the basis of appropriations of last year. Belgian Gives Ills Views. M. Poullette of Belgium, said: "Belgium has received no repara tions. She cannot spike her guns while the league of nations still is in the process of formation." The committee in its report pointed out that a convention for the control of the traffic in arms and ammuni tion was signed by Great Britain, the United States, France, Japan. Belgium, Bolivia, Cuba. China. Ecuador, Greece and Italy at St. Germain when the Austrian peace treaty was signed, but that this convention had not been ratified and that no steps had been taken to make it effective. The report proposes that the council urge the signatories to ratify the treaty with out delay. Traffic In Arms Prohibited- The convention in question prohib its exports of arms and munitions ex cept under special licenses for de liveries to the governments them selves. It was especially intended to prevent quantities of arms remaining on hand at the end of the war from falling into the hands of less civilized peoples. It provides for an interna tional office to control the trade in arms.' The committe proposes that thin Vinv Vi o n uerl In n rri .ir srenpr.a.1 nay to exercise control over" the pri vate manufacture of arms. "The first step in disarmament," was the characterization of the meas ure proposed voiced by HJalmar Bran ting of Sweden, the chairman of the committee, when he laid the report before the assembly. In explaining the report to the as sembly. Mr. Branting and H. A. L. Fisher of Great Briain, said that the committee, while unanimously and whole-heartedly in favor of the speed lest possible disarmament, was forced to come to the conclusion that the momeni. had not arrived when it would be possible to accomplish it. Britain Expected to Accept. "There are. countries with the most powerful armament building facilities outside the league," said Mr. Fisher, "and disarmament can begin only When it is universal." Mr. Fisher said he had no doubt of the acceptance by Great Britain of the proposal to spend no more on arma menu for the next two years than she did last year. "Disarmament." said George-Nlcoll Barnes of the British delegation, who followed Mr. Fisher, "is the real acid test of the success of the league of uat ions." "I regret," he added, "that there is In the report no clear-cut declaration: that there is not less quibble and taore pluck." Continued Study Is Asked. The report, largely filled with aca demic discussion, proposed as the firsf practical measure to ask the powers to agree not to spend on armament! during the next two years more than they spent lat year. It also asked for continued study of the disarmament question by .the military commission of the league and by a special temporary commit tee. Leon Bourgeois of France said he accepted the conclusion of the report with the reservation that France was obliged to restore her armaments that had been worn out by the war. He did not consider such action as an in crease in armament, he added. The league council virtually ap proved the plan for an International credit organization, framed at the Brussels financial conference. The economic commission has amplified the scheme into what the commission members believe will be a working organization, but the fundamentals of the plan remain unchanged. Thermometer Drops to lowest Level of Season and River Mounts to Highest Stage After Rains. The first frost of the season yes terday nipped the ears of Portland's early risers. The thermometer at 4:30 A. M. reached its lowest level. SI degrees, and did not rise above the freezing point until 10 o'clock. There will be no need to turn off the water and drain the pipes for a few days, at least, however, for Weatherman Wells last night predicted warmer weather for today, with increasing southwest erly winds. There also may be a vis itation of the old familiar rain. As early as 11 o'clock Monday night the water which covered streets and sidewalks as the result of the rain had begun to freeze and formed a precarious footing. The river at Portland yesterday morning reached the stage of 9.8 feet above zero, the highest point since the subsidence of the last summer freshet. With a falling river at Eu gene, Albany and Salem, however, Mr. Wells predicted that the river at Portland will fall for the next two or three days. Tog Dense in Vancouver. VANCOUVER. Wash., Dec. 1. (Special.) A dense fog dropped down over Vancouver ana vicinity iasi night, and this morning when resi dents awoke they found that a heavy frost had come with the fog. The streets were coated with ice and nu merous accidents were reported, but no one was injured so far as has been reported. The ice stayed on the streets most of the day where it was pro tected by the shade, but where the sun finally broke through the frost soon left. Fog was so dense on the Columbia river that traffic was in terfered with. Persons crossing the river on the bridge were at times unable to see the water below.

BIG TERMINALS FORECAST (Continued From First Page.) ARGTEXTLXA TAKES SO ACTION Notification Refused Because Mem bership Is Denied. BCENOS AIRES, Dec. 14. The Ar gentine government will not give any notification of withdrawal from the league of nations in accordance with article 1 of the pact, because it does not consider that Argentina ever has been a member of the league, the Associated Press was informed by the foreign office today. Geneva dispatches had indicated that notification of withdrawah-from the league was expected from Argen tina as the next diplomatic step and that it was considered she must con tinue to be a member of the league for two years after such notification was given, in accordance with the terms of the pact. The foreign office points to a series of diplomatic documents published last week regarding the relations of Argentina to the league, which are held to show that she only accepted tha formation of the league "in prin said, "to talk about continuing Joint use of the present terminal facilities without added expense at this time, but it cannot be done. It is a phys ical impossibility and an impartial in vestigation will prove it to be so. Without la any way referring to what action, if any. our officials New York may take, it may be said as a fact that the terminal situation here has reached the point where we cannot handle the business of the member roads and still accommodate the heavy trains of the two non- member roads. "The statement that has been put forward about the war-time and Shriner strain, bearing upon the ter minal situation, is misleading, al though perhaps not intentionally so meant. The facts are that we had very little passenger traffic move ment and less freight during the wai and as for the Shriners convention. we simply shut out all freight from the west side and patrons were of necessity made to go over the river to haul their goods, who otherwise would have been served on the west side. It must be remembered that, during the war, we took off many trains; but we could not continue that kind of service afterward, for' the people demanded and rightly bet ter service; for example, a fine train to Chicago and the east. ' "If. for any reason, the use of the terminals is granted the two non member roads mentioned, it probably will mean that an entirely new scheme will have to be inaugurated, whereby freight problems will be re moved to Guild's lake, where we have large acreage, and, that, in turn, would mean an outlay of not less than Jl',000,000 initial coat. It is a serious situation, especially from our standpoint." In addition to the present situation, as outlined by Mr. Spencer. It has been announced officially by General Manager O'Brien of the O.-W. R. & N.. that It is intended to put on two new passenger trains out of the ter minal station in early spring. One of these is to be a morning train to Spo kane, to take care of rapidly-develop ing business. According to Mr. Spencer, the Northern Pacific Terminal cpmpany is handling now the maximum of freight and passenger cars daily for the member roads, freight alone serv ing 110 large Portland firms. Ex pansion of tracks in that immediate vicinity, he points out. is impossible owing to the presence of the Broad way bridge. Hence, if any changes are made, it follows, according to his views, that the freight problem must be removed to a point below that span. That, he declares, means Guild's lake and a vast outlay for new ter minals. NEW YORK, Dee, 14. Testimony that the Bethlehem Steel company, the United States Steel corporation and manufacturers of fabricated steel are blocking building operations in New Tork and other cities by at tempting to force their "open-shop" policy upon builders who employ union men was heard today by the Joint legislative committee investi gating the alleged "building trust." Enforcement of the "open-shop" principle In steel construction in New Tork and Philadelphia, it was testi fied, is merely the "opening wedge" of the system which was to be ex tended throughout the country. Steel Couldn't Be Bought. Despite personal appeals to Eugene Grace, president of the Bethlehem Steel company, and Charles M. Schwab, chairman of the board, Paul Starrett, president of the George A. . Fuller company, and Louis Horowit, ' president of the Thompson-Starrett company, two of the largest construc tion companies in the United States, testified they were unable to pur chase structural steel direct for erec tion under union-shop conditions. They declared they had been virtually- driven out of the steel erec tion business because of their em ployment of union men and had to have all their structural work done by members of the Iron league of New York, or the National Erectors' association, thus increasing the cost of construction work. Bridge Workers Under Inquiry. The committee also began an In quiry into the alleged combination of bridge building and structural steel workers' organizations the Bridge Builders' and Structural society which includes lr its mesnbership the American Bridge company, a sub sidiary of the United States Steel cor poration and the Bethlehem Steel Bridge company. G. E. Gifford, secretary of the so ciety, admitted its 29 members had a system of exchanging bids and that its "book of rules" contained provis ions whereby estimates could be re vised to meet outside competition. He said Vice-President Earle of the Beth lehem Bridge Steel company is head of the society. Fabricators Issue Denial. The National Association of Steel Fabricators also was brought under the committee's fire while Mr. Gof ford was on the stand as he was acting secretary of the organization. Despite the denial of the witness that the organization was not formed to deal with "mainly labor conditions." Samuel Untermyer, the committee's counsel, read extracts from its minutes showing It had been support ing the "open shop" movement. A resolution adopted by the asso ciation was read into the records by counsel, placing the National Steel Fabricators association on record "being unreservedly and entirely in favor of the open shop in all fabricat mg plants, recommending that the policy of the members of the associa' tion should be to "adjust their busi ness so that the steel fabricated by them is erected under open shop conditions." The resolution authorized the executive committee to use "all Influence in its power with the mills. fabricators and factories and business associations to bring about the above policy.' Associations Interlocked. Interlocked in the association, Mr. Gofford said, was the structural soci ety, the structural steel society, the National Erectors' association and the American lurectors' association. The organizations include in their mem bership virtually all of the bridge and structural steel manufacturers of the country. Minutes of the association disclosed that Walter Drew, attorney for the National Erectors' association, had ap peared before the steel fabricators and told of the "open shop tidal wave Just now sweeping the country, and urged employers to consolidate the ground being gained," but warned them not to "take advantage of the present break in their favor and cut wages." . . Union Men More Efficient. Both Mr. Starrett and Mr. Horowitz testified that union structural steel workers were from 25 to 35 per cent more efficient than non-union erec tors and declared that when they were. forced to let the members of the Iron league or the National Erectors' as sociation do the work it added from & to 10 per cent to the cost of the job. Mr. Horowitz declared he could have saved from to JoOO.OOO on one job If he could have done the wcjrk himself. Mr. Horowitz, relating a conversa tion with Mr. Grace in which he en deavored to contract for the purchase of steel, quoted Mr. Grace as saying "they (Bethlehem Co.) had dust gone through a very bitter fight in order to control their shops and they were afraid if steel was continued to be erected under union conditions it would merely open the door to the unions' demand for the closed shop and they could not possibly run the risk of that danger." Suit Against Brlndell Begun. Suit -was started In , the supreme court toBay against Robert P.lBrind ell, president of the building trades council, and two oi nis wanting dele gates. Richard J. Pike and Christian Chtpman, by Joseph H. Goldblatt. a house wrecker, to recover $2000. al leged to have been "illegally, felon! ously and extorttonately" obtained by thf. defendants.

SCREEN TO AID STARVING Motion Picture Magnates Promise $2,500,000 for European Children NEW TORK, Dec 14. The motion picture Industry in America today pledged Itself to Herbert Hoover to raise 2,500,000 to succor starving children in Europe. I Mr. Hoover, addressing a confer ence of film magnates. meeting to discuss plans for combating proposed Sunday "blue laws," asked that they arrange to rescue -250,000 of the 3,500,000 children reported in Immi nent peril of starvation, saying relief societies would be forced to suspend operations unless aid came within 60 days. William A. Brady, president of the' national association of the motion picture Industry, and Sidney R. Co hen, president of the motion picture owners of the United States, then pledged the Industry to raise the fund. ; KEW NEXT TO VISIT M10FJ 0 II AB CUT IN 3 NAVIES URGED (Continued ,From Flint Pag.) suggested by the congress of the United States ins order to bring about a substantial reduction in the naval armament of the world." Senator Borah; said that he acted only upon his own initiative, but that several senators had expressed their hearty approval of his plan. The Idaho senator also said that he would urge early action on the resolution by the foreign relations committee prob ably next week. 'It calls for direct action with ths only powers concerned," said Senator Borah. "It would develop whether Great Britain and Japan are sincere in the talk 'about reducing arma ments. If they are not. we can quit talking about it." Conferences of Best Minds . Now in Full Swing. INDIANAN HOOVER BACKER More Room Needed at Station. A permit was issued by the bureau of buildings yesterday to the North ern Pacific Terminal company to BMild a small addition' to Its station. The work will cost about $16,000, it was stated. It Is announced that the company is crowded for office room and that this is being done to relieve the situation.' ARMY REQUEST CAUSES TILT Sharp Controversy Breaks Out In House Sub-Committee. WASHINGTON. Dec 14. Sharp con flicts between congress and the war department over the amount of money to be appropriated this year for the military establishment developed to day at the initial meeting of the house sub-committee to draft the 1922 army appropriation bilL Representative Anthony. Kansas. chairman of the sub-committee, pre dicted that the army appropriation for the coming fiscal year would be cut approximately to J300.000.000. He advocated restriction of the size of the army to 175,000 enlisted men, abandonment of half of the camps maintained by the war department and immediate sale of the army's sur plus supplies. Secretary Baker and Major-General March chief of staff, appearing before tne committee, urged the appropria tion this year. of approximately 1700, 000,000 for army expenses. The war department was allowed J392.000.000 for the present year. secretary Baker estimated that the war department would Incur a deficit of $60,000,000 during the present year. Of this amount, he said. $38,000,000 would be needed for the pay of en listed men. Chairman Anthony, how ever, said members of the committee were convinced the war department's uenciency would total at least $100, 000,000. T Mr. Baker was asked to submit a report showing what camns wv h. ing maintained and for what purpose they were being used. "We must close at least half of our camps, particularly those located in more remote districts which cannot be kept up as cheaply as those closer to supplies." Mr. Anthony said. "It nas oeen shown that it cost much more to maintain troops on the Mexi can Doraer than at centralized posts The committee, for the sake of econ- omy intends to provide for the with drawal of many of the troops now on tne ooraer. " Another policy of the rnmmlti.

Conferences with the "best minds" of the country, as promised by President-elect Harding, being already in full swing, several of the senators will start within the next few days on the long cross-country hike to Marion, O. The first will be Senator New of Indiana who today was putting his toilet articles and some extra cloth ing in a grip preparatory to getting away from here Friday. It is be lieved That the Indiana senator will be called on to discuss some other matters besides a proposed associa tion of nations. He was in charge of the western speakers' bureau at Chicago during the campaign and gets credit for having handled the job admirably. In this way. It Is said, he got In touch with the political situation to a degree that makes his advice on patronage matters exceedingly valu able. He has shown a sincere inter est In the character and personnel of the next president's cabinet, and It Is understood that he will make sev eral suggestions. New L.ike Hoover. - Senator New does not agree en tirely with those who are opposing Herbert Hoover for a cabinet place, according to reports. The New view much like that of Admiral Schley regarding the great naval victory at Santiago. He holds that there is glory enough for all in the triumphs of November 2 and that all who par ticipated should share in the fruit of victory according to, the measure of id they gave and their fitness to carry the honors be distributed. The Hoosler senator will not grant that it was a victory of either the lrreconcilables or mild reservation- ists. It was a republican victory, he asserts, and he Insists that Mr. Hard ing shall play no favorites. The at titude is said to square exactly with the Harding position. Reed on lAmt. Lodge, Borah. Shields and Reed, the latter two democrats, are slated to visit Marlon. Today it was learned that personal Invitations, dates yet to be fixed, were sent by the president-elect to several other senators during his visit here last week. Two of these are from the northwest. Poindexter of Washington and McNary of Oregon. Senator Borah said that the date for his interview with President-elect Harding had not been set, but indi cated that he expected a call to come in a short time. Senator Borah, so far as can be learned, will, discuss only two propositions. , One, of course, will be the peace treaty with possibly some reiteration of his position on the league of na tions. The other will be relative to filling the post of secretary of the Interior, a place to which the west lays first claim. Borah Has His Condldate. Senator Borah has been pressing the candidacy of Governor Davis ot Idaho for the interior portfolio quite vigorously during the last few days. and it is believed he will have much to say to Mr. Harding about the Davis qualifications at the Marion confer ence. The conference with Reed and Shields will be confined entirely to the league of nations, as these two democratic senators naturally will avoid any serious mention of patron age, which is now so exclusively re publican. The visit of Senator Poindexter, it Is expected, will come soon after the first of the year. The Washington senator, having managed the sena torial campaign, naturally possesses a valuable fund of information on the policies of the nation at large which the next president wishes to have before proceeding with the task of making important appointments. McNary for Reclamation. Senator McNary will discuss the league or association of nations and some few patronage matters, but de sires especially to remind the president-elect of pledges made during the campaign for western reclama tion developments.
