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

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

council, and two oi nis wanting dele

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

more to maintain troops on the Mexi

THE OREGONTAN NEWS BUREAU,
WAshington. Dec 1. (Special.)
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.
