HUGE ORDERS CANCELLED
organized to provide facilities for the I
three railways holding stock in the
company. The desire to abrogate the
j present arrangement, which was -cre-
tticu aa tt war emergency, no ex
plained, was not because of a feeling
of animosity towards the companies
ordered out. but upon a strictly busi
ness basis. ' '
"The Northern Pacific and the
O.-W. R. & N. company lines feed
into our lines from the north and we
feed into their lines from the south.
Hence it was but natural that the

Foreign Minister, In Instruction ot
Recall, Says American Masses
Sympathize With Bolshevism.'
KEW YORK, Dec 27. Ludwig C. A.
K. Martens, Russian soviet "ambassa
dor" to the United States, today noti
fied the department of labor that
upon Instruction frm the Moscow
government, just received, he would
surrender himself for deportation on
January 3.
The Moscow advices flirected Mar
tens not to appeal from the order for
his deportation, signed by Secretary
of Labor Wilson recently, but to re
turn to Russia as soon as possible
with his entire Russian staff.
Cancellation of all contracts nego
tiated for the Russian government
with American firms, said by Martens
to amount to some 50,000,000, was
ordered.
The message from Moscow was a
reply to Marten's report of his depor
tation order, and was sent by George
Tchitcherin, soviet minister of for
eign affairs, who denounced the pres
ent American administration for its
. "hostility."
All Orders Are Canceled.
"We must resign ourselves' to the
fact that Russia, for the time being,
due to the hostile attitude of the pres
ent American administration, will
have to get along without its co-op
.eration," the message said. "You are
instructed to return to Russia with
out delay, together with the Russian
citizens who are members of your
staff, and to cancel and liquidate, in
accordance with instructions you will
receive from the commissariat of for
eign trade, all orders placed with
American firms.
"The hostility of the present Ameri
can administration, expressed in this
act, cannot reflect the opinion or the
American people, especially of the
American workers, who have given
so many warmly-appreciated proofs
of sympathy with the workers ana
peasants of Russia.
American Masses Held Friendly.
"Under the most trying circum
stances you have during two years
honorably and patiently endeavored
to carry out the instructions received
by you to establish friendly relations
with the United States. You did so
notwithstanding malicious insults
and petty persecutions on the part of
some elements in America, convinced
that eventually the common interests
of the people of America and Russia
would eliminate the .obstacles to un
derstanding. -
"Even now we are certain the
J' masses of the American people will
? in A fima hi4nv Km, t ih an un
derstanding. At the present moment,
& however, we are confronted with the
f cold fact that America, who rereat-

makes such co-operation impossible.
nth fr natfnna. nf th. wnrM avpti sunh
as openly conducted war against us
and waatan1 Tin tfma nn HPnMmontal
assurances of friendship, are entering
Into economic relations with Russia."
' Martens asserted that continued re
fusal to resume trade relations with
Russia will nullify a $,000,000,000
order for American goods, alleged to
have been brought to this country by
Washington D. Vanderlip of Los An
geles, who recently announced that
he had procured a 400,006-square-mlle
concession in Siberia for a California
syndicate.
j There are about 15 Russians on
Martens' staff here, and he has ap

family to accompany him home.

HEARINGS ARE -POSSIBLE
companies which have had use
such facilities by suffrance during

the companies would simply result in
bringing inconvenience to the trav

"The taxpayers of Portland should
take a calm view into the future
when the union terminal plan is un
der discussion. In the first place,
even though the union terminal were
desirable it would not be desirable to
waste the money in its construction
during these times of high costs.
"A union terminal station means
that the traveler will step from one
train onto another without seeing
your city. If you havs two railway
stations or three, perhaps, your trav
elers will be Inclined to pass the
time between trains looking at your
city, and that Is what counts.
"Take St. Louis, for example.
wonderful union terminal station is.
in use in tnat city, ana yet you can
not find many travelers who can talk
about the wonders of St. Louis. In
Chicago the railway stations are Sep
arated and travelers expect to view
Chicago as they move from one Bta
tion to another. That is why the
women know of Marshall Field
store and the men know of the won
derful hostelries of that city.
'Portland should think twice before
advocating a union terminal station.
Perhaps honest reflection will prove
that it would be a wiser move, at
least from a business standpoint, to
have several railway stations.
The Southern Pacific company Is
devoting its money and energy to
ward obtaining new equipment, ac
cording to Mr. Sproule, and bringing
its various lines up to standard
shape. New equipment, Mr. Sproule
stated, was more important to a suc
cessful railway than new stations,
for it was the equipment which
moved the people and the freight, he
explained.

Measure Is . Referred to Finance
Committee Despite Effort to
Send It to Commerce Body.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 27. Indica
tions of the fight ahead over tariff
legislation were given In the senate
today when several hours spirited de
bate and. two rollcalls were required
to effect the formal routine action of
referring to the finance committee
the emergency tariff bill passed last
week by the house.
Democratic forces split in the open
ing clash, five minority members
voting with the solid republican
strength against a motion by Senator
Hitchcock of Nebraska, asking that
the house bill be referred to the com
merce instead of the finance com
mittee. After defeat of the Hitch
cock motion and severe democratic
attacks on the bill, the senate voted
unanimously to send the bill to the
finance committee.
Senator McCumber of North Dakota,
acting chairman of the finance com
mittee, announced during the debate
that the bill would be taken up in
committee early next month and given
"fair and adequate consideration."
There were indications that the re
publican decision against hearings
would be revoked.
The house bill was denounced as an
"embargo'' bill and "suicidal" by
Senator Hitchcock who charged that
senate machinery was set to rush it
through. American commerce should
be aided, he contended, and not ham
pered by tariff barriers.
Senator McCumber denied that the
bill proposed embargoes and was sup
ported by Senator Smoot (rep.) of
Utah. The North Dakota senator de
clared the measure gave practically
no protection to wheat and said that
he would not support the bill as
drafted.
Senator Harrison (dem.) of Missis
sippi assailed the bill as "the most
iniquitous piece. -of legislation the
country has ever seen."
The tariff measure was designed
to enhance living costs, Senator Har
rison said, addng that the bill was a
"sop" to western farmers and would
not aid them.
urer"s cost will be Increased by the
amount of that duty.
"Producers and selling agents In
the country of origin realize the need
of adjusting their prices to permit
reports to countries levying duties.
The proposed measure would give
American wools in American mar
kets an ' advantage of 45 cents a
scoured pouna over foreign wools,
that until recently sold around $2
a pound. This would give needed
security to home ' production. The
full amount would go into the treas
ury and serve, to reduce -amounts
otherwise collected in more direct
ways. The payment would actually
largely be" made by the foreign ex
porters who would necessarily sell
at prices to permit our manufactur
ers to use the wools on which duty
had been paid.
"No matter how opinions differ as
to operations of tariffs it is grossly
incorrect to suggest that the result
would even approach what Mr. Mad
den claims.

HIGHER PRICES ARE DEXIED
Tariff Would Xot Increase Cost of
Clothes, Says Wool Man.
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Dec. 27.
J. R. Marshall, secretary of the Na
tional Wool Growers' association, to
day issued a statement branding as
very misleading an assertion at
tributed to Representative Madden
of Illinois to the effect that the duty
proposed on wool in the Fordney
emergency tariff bill would double
the price of clothing.
Mr. Marshall said:
"Such a 'statement is both ridicu
lous and dangerous. If uncorrected
it would institute a serious misrep
resentation of the work and objects
of the ways and means committee
and both houses of congress.
The International Wool Growers'
association has repeatedly pointed
out that but little connection exists
between the market price of wool
and the selling price of clothes.
Three and one quarter pounds of
scoured wool are required for an av-
standing. The Italian government is
now preparing to capture Fiume with
military forces and apply the treaty
by force. Captain D'Annunzio with
4500 men cannot resist an attack by
20,000 unless a miracle happens, but
it is a shame."
Crowds attempted to hold demon
strations in this city in favor of
D'Annunzio but strong detachments
of royal mounted guards charged upon
and dispersed those engaged in the
manifestation. D'Annunzio's war cry
of- "Down with the treaty of Rapallo,"
was frequently heard.
Deputy Federsoni made an address
in favor of the poetrsoldier at a na
tionalist meeting and was frequently
applauded. ' --
Later, several nationalists. In re
venge for the breaking up of the dem
onstrations, decided to put an end to
a concert being directed by Sergius
Koussevisky in the Augusteum.- They
formed a column and entered the
building crying "Viva Italian Fiume;
Viva D'Annunzio!"
Several scuffles occurred.- Prompt
intervention by the police re-established
order and only a few arrests
were made.
Prisoners Taken to Ancona.
ANCONA, Italy, Dec 27. A steamer
has arrived here with the Rismondo
and Carnaro battalions on board. All
the men were disarmed and are being
closely watched by carabineers. -The
royal guards' barracks are being pre
pared to hold the men prisoners there.
TEACHERS' PAY LIFTED

ing, domestic art, .domestic science
and writing will receive J2500 a year.
The system of paying teachers
caused much discussion. D. A. Grout,
city superintendent of schools, recom
mended payment on the 10 months'
basis. He said that this was the de
sire of the Grade Teachers' associa
tion, although the principals favored
the 12 months' payment.
A few principals and the only grade
teacher present spoke in favor of the
12 months' payment plan.
The board decided to pay on the 12
months' basts following the Seattle
plan. Teachers will be paid on the
fifth of each month for the preceding
month. When school closes in June,
they will be paid the June and July
salaries and on September 6 will re
ceive pay for August. Teachers who
resign after August 1 will lose half I
of their August pay.
