20 TIIE 3IORNIXG OREGOXIAX, WEDNESDAY, -MAT 4. 1021 TIE-UP- III BUILDING OF CIT! IS FEARED Trades Council and Employ' ers at Loggerheads. 300 MEN NOW ON STRIKE Painters and Sheet Metal Workers Kef use to Abide by Decision of Arbitration Board. The building trades will accept the recent award of the arbitration board in its entirety, but will not accept one part of It and leave out the rest, according to the vote of the building trades council last night. The deci sion was reached after a stormy closed session, in which the "recently - announced plan of the Building Con struction Employers' association not to negotiate and sign a working agreement as suggested by the-arbitration board was the bone of contention. The action of the representatives of the unions practically means that unless the contractors give a point etrike conditions may be brought about at any time in the entire build ing trades work of the city, represent ing 17 or 18 trades and several thou sand men. The sheet metal workers and the painters are the two trades of the building council who refused to accept the findings of the arbitra tion board, which recommended a 10 per cent reduction in wages May 1. The building trades council dis charged A. E. Cheyne, business agent, who had represented the body in the negotiations to the present time, and elected R. A. Willison to succeed him. The new representative was instruct ed to attempt to negotiate an amica ble agreement with the contractors along the lines suggested by the arbi tration board. With both the unions and the contractors tired from the fruitless negotiations to date, there is chance of refusal of further nego tiations and even an ultimatum to accept a wage cut, which may mean a general tie-up of all union work in the building and construction work of the city. Three Hundred Men on Strike. About 300 men in the painters' and sheet metal workers' unions were on strike Monday as a result of their lefusal io begin work with a 10 per cent leducrioii in wages. That the same procedure may follow in other trades if the contractors decide not to proiong negotiations is the predic tion of members of the trades council. Although the building constructors employers' association had not yet re ceived word of the action of the trades council Monday night, an nouncement yesterday afternoon of David J. Hoggan. president of the organization, indicated that further negotiations will not be undertaken on the rulings of the arbitration board. Botn tfOes apparently are claiming that the other has not met the conditions of the award squarely. Employer Are Blamed. Mr. Hoggan .indicated that unless the building trades council forces the Sheet metal workers and painters to tccept the agreement the employers would consider the arbitration board rulings had been discarded. The building trades on the other hand hold that the employers in refusing to sign an agreement covering the remainder of the year are not ful filling the terms as set forth by the board. "The contractors have publicly agreed to abide by the findings of the arbitration board before they were handed down." said Mr. Hoggan in a statement Monday night. "We con sider that binding upon us if the unions likewise accept the rulings. We do not intend to enter into a written working agreement but we feel ourselves bound in honor to pre serve the wage scale until January 1, 1922, in case the unions accept the rulings of the board. Otherwise we will consider the matter of the board's suggestions at an end. It is probable that in case further wage negotia tions have to be entered into the em ployers will stand out for a still greater cut in wages than at first suggested. Great Cat Advocated. "Many of the contractors feel that present conditions warrant a greater reduction than was contemplated at the time the negotiations began. The contractors accepted the mediation of the board in the spirit given but do not feel bound to live up to it unless the unions accept it in its entirety. We are refusing to enter into a writ ten agreement as suggested because we feel that all of the unions .did -not live up to the agreement under which they were signed before, but we are publicly pledging ourselves not to reduce the scale until January 1, 1S2L', in case It is accepted." The employers' association will meet today to consider further action in the matter. and materially reducing the importa tion of coal by France. The Rhone plan would make navi gable between 400 and 500 kilometers of that river, would reclaim 630,000 acres of ground now ..useless and probably place at the door of Paris electricity at a price within the reach of everyone. The government plans to make the Rhone, as well as all the other proj ects, a "creation of the people," through the issuance of 6 per cent non-taxable bonds, the proeeeds to be used in construction. The . finance committee of the senate now has the matter before it, but because of the financial depression and the already great burdens on the French treas ury, the actual construction probably will not begin for several years. . The majority of the plans for hydro-electric development concern the rivers Rhone, Garonne, Rhine and Loire. ' REPUTED SLAYER IS HELD BIG STEAMER APUS HERE TO Visit First Since Craft Left on Maiden Voyage. LOADING ALREADY BEGUN RAILROAD MAX IDENTIFIED AS GEORGIA MURDERER. Joseph D. McAfee Is Recognized in Street by Former Resident of Town Where Killing Occurred. Joseph D. McAfee, 37 years old, railroad brakeman, was arrested Mondav by Inspectors Phillips and Howell in connection with the alleged murder of John Collum, town mar shal of Canton, Ga., in that city in 1914. McAfee, who is held in the city jail without bail pending receipt of information from the Canton authori ties, denied that he was a fugitive from justice or that he had any hand in the death of Collum, who, he said, aied of tuberculosis. The arrest resulted from identifica tion of McAfee by a former resident of Canton, who met him here Mon day. The informant told the police that McAfee was wanted in Georgia for the murder of Collum, and after he had pointed McAfee out to detec tives he identified him positively as the slayer. He further asserted that McAfee had deserted his wife and children in Georgia. McAfee admitted Monday that he formerly lived in Canton, and said that his father, J. M. McAfee, was in business there at the present time. He said his wife and foster-children-i were in Centralia and that he had no other relatives than father, mother and brothers in Georgia. - Regarding the crime which he Is alleged to have committed, McAfee said his arrest probably resulted from the shooting of George Turner, a Can tor. livery stable keeper, by Marshal Collum in 1914. Several months after the shooting the marshal either died of tuberculosis, as McAfee alleges, or was killed, as the police were in lormed. XlcAfee, who is booked for invest! gation, said he has worked in the west since he nas 16 years old, with the exception of short periods which he spent at Canton with his parents. Vessel Expected to Take Full Cargo of AVheat If Men Can Be Found to Man Her. PICTURES SENT BY WIRE Norwegian Engineer Transfers Handwriting 600 Miles In Test. CHR1STIAXIA. Xorway. Herwood Peterson, a chief engineer in the gov ernment telegraph service, has in vented a wire an-T cable system by which it is possible to transfer a pic ture or a message in original hand writing over a practically unlimited distance. The device was recently publicly tested here between two 600 mile points and was reported suc cessful. Contrary to the present telegraph system, Mr. Peterson uses an alter nating electric cui rent, allowing a strictly synchronous work of the sending and the receiving apparatus, a higher speed and an enormous sav ing of operating costs. The system, it is claimed, also makes it possible to transmit double the number of words compared with any other telegraphic system now used and it operates auto matically from the moment the tele gram, picture or drawing Is received by the operator until it is received at the place of delivery. No new wires or cables are necessary The manuscript to be transferred is placed on a metall'c cylinder, some what resembling an original wax phonograph cylinder, covered with a photographic film and exposed to a strong arc light. The manuscript is copied on the cylinder film, developed and chromagraphictlly etched into the metal. The cylinder ' then placed on the sending apparatus, to which is transmitted an electric current going to the receiving apparatus. When the cylinder rotates a needle moves on it. touching every point on the cylin der. .Whenever it touches the copied letters of the manuscript it cauea a short circuit, which is transmitted to the receiving apparatus with its pho tographic paper on which the copy is reproduced. PLAYS MADE TO SAVE 5,000,000 TONS OF COAL YEARLY. Development of Yearly Average of 4,000,000 Horsepower for Manufacture of Electricity. - PARIS. Plans now in course of preparation by the French govern ment contemplate the development of a yearly average of 4,000.000 horse power by 1931 through the utilization of the rivers of the country for the manufacture of electricity. The creation of energy for the elec trification of the railways and the big industries of France has received tremendous impetus since the armis tice. Reports just completed show that within the last three years 450, 000.000 francs have been invested in 40 power plants throughout France by French investors. The recent visit of President Mil lerand to the valley of the Rhone re vived interest in the famous Rhone water power project, plans for which have been completed and now are be fore the senate for ratification. The chamber of deputies approved the scheme in October. 1919. The Rhone project, as it is known In Europe, Is one of the most compre hensive water power developments ever conceived and involves the ex penditure of 3.000. 000,000 francs. No fewer than 20 lesser projects have boen launched in France, but the Rhone is further advanced than the others. It has been estimated that the Rhone scheme, together with the other big projects, would effect an annual saving of 5. 000. 000 tons of coal, thus diverting this to other purposes. COLLEGE TO BE SURVEYED Agents of General Education Board .-. Will Inspect AVliitnian. -WHITMAN COLLEGE. Walla Walla, Wash., May 3. (Special.) Wallace Buttrick, president, and Trevor Arnett, secretary, of the general education board of New York city, will inspect Whitman college Thursday, S. B. L. Penrose, president, of Whitman, an nounced today. The two men repre sent one of the largest educational institutions in the world, backed by more than 11,000,000. While they are in Walla Walla the college will give a luncheon in their honor. The board three years ego gave $120,000 to Whitman, and last year offered an additional $125,000 to the college for increasing faculty salaries on condition that the institution raise $250,000. While this J250.000 is being raised the board is paying interest at a pet cent on its J 125.000. alleviating; to a degree the salary question.

Four Censors and People of 2 Nationalities- Are to Be Satis fied by Constantinople Press. CONSTANTINOPLE. The task of eriitlnir local newsnaper here is ex actly four times more difficult than in. an American city, for here there are Turtkish, British, French and Italian censors. A naner here after the censors have finished with It sometimes bears little resemblance to what the editor intended. Here are gathered some 20 nation alities, and each requires an organ. The Greeks have seven newspapers in their own languages and one nrlnted in French: the Armenian have four in their own language and one in French; the Turks have nine dailies in their own language; the Jews have one in French and two dailies in Spanish; the French have one in their language, the commonly SDoken and written language of the Levant, and they also pay subsidies to several others. The British have one the Orient News. The Arabs have their organ. So do the Persians. Likewise the Rub sians. antl and pro bolshevik. Strange peoples from other lands have their little sheets. The Americans print a magazine of Dusiness and a weekly the Far Seas, printed by the United States navy. The Italians used to have their organ and soon will have it again. The Greek patriarch has his. There is also In French the weekly bulletin of the Vatican's Apostolic Vicar. It is an easy matter to print I paper in English or French. How ever, consider that the Jewish paper is printed In Hebrew letters, but in the Spanish language, also that the Turkish language requires four kinds of type and has 90 letters to its alphabet. The Arab language is I good deal like the Turkish, excep that it is different in accent marks. and the same may be said of the Persian. Now put four censors, each of different political opinion, onto the Job of el'tninating the undesirable part of these newspapers, mix with three or four interpreters to each censor, so he will know what it is all about and the result is a distracted lot of editors who print the news when they may. The editors claim they often are obliged, to print their paper four times over before issuing. A9 this country of sunshine and racial heat is also the land of exaggeration, they may not set up their papers so many times. But their printers' bills are heavy and, without racial pride to call forth supporting money, the pa pers would, many of them, cease to be published. Most of them do. -Sailed West Cay- Port Calendar.

J, WORLD'S WRITERS PLAN BIG MEETING Congress of 1921 Will Assem ble in Honolulu in October. HAWAII TO SET HIGH MARK Programme One of Excursions, Banquets, Fair's, Beach Parties anil Other Entertainment. COLUMBIA, Mo., May 3. From the Honolulu committee now making arrangements for the 1921 meeting ot the press congress of the world, to be held in Honolulu October 4 to 14, plans for a part of the entertainment to be offered the congress delegates have been received here by Walter Williams, the president of the con gress. A part of the time will be occupied by business sessions, when problems of communication' and other matters of high interest to the profession will be discussed. The remaining time will be filled with a programme of ex cursions, banquets, fairs, beach par ties, and a doxen other "kinds of de lightful entertainment Jn the prepa ration for the delegates and their families who will attend the press congress the Hawalians apparently have resolved to set a new high mark. Pan-Pclfle Day Gala One. The tentative- programme for a single day will give the imagination a a-ood start in the right direction. The pan-Pacific press conference, as a department of the press congress of the world, will hold a day s session in the course ot the ten days. Alexander Hume Ford, secretary of the pan-Pa cific union and editor ot tne aiia- Pacific Magazine, is preparing the programme for that day. Pan-Pacific day at the press con gress will begin with a reception be fore the morning session at the Iolani palace, a reception in which the chil dren of all the schools will partici pate. The children will be divided into groups, each group representing state of the union and marcning around the palace in a pageant of states. They will be robed In the colors of the states they represent and carry the floral emblems and flae-s of the states. It is expected that the ex-president of the Hawaiian renublic. Sanford B. Dole, ana tne former governors of the territory will lead the state pageant, which will be reviewed by the delegates to the press congress representing every country of the globe. OrRanlzation to Be Perfect. At the official morning session in the throne room it is probable that the organization of the pan-Pacific association will be perfected, ana plans outlined for bringing together every year, or every two years, me editors of magazines and newspapers published in Pacific islands. After the morning session it Is pro posed to have the Boy and Girl Scouts of all Pacific races escort the dele gates from the palace grounds across the street to the armory for a lunch eon which the scouts will assist in serving. During luncheon jiu jitsu artists from Japan will hold contests on a platform in the center of the great floor, while the athletic spbrts of other Pacific lands likewise will be enjoyed and uuke ivananomoau will make a brief address in Ha waiian. After lunch the Boy Scouts will escort the delegates back to the Dalace for the afternoon session oi the pan-Pacific conference. Remarkable Pageant Repeated. At the conclusion of the afternoon session tne aeiegaies win siti the makai lanal of the palace build ing to receive the flags of all Pacific nations. This is the remarkable pageant of Pacific races that so en thralled Franklin K. Lane, when as secretary of the interior he visited Hawaii. The delegates will then oe guests of honor at a pan-Pacajic ainner served on the palace grounds about the bandstands, on which will be per formed the dances of all tne -aciric peoples and the national songs of all Pacific lands will be sung by their native sons and daughters. For vears the pan-Pacific union nas been accumulating the paraphernalia for such a pageant, and as this is Magellan year, the entire show will be produced in all its splendor for the congress delegates. denly ot apoplexy at his home herel early last night.

C Housekeep ers who are weary of hunting turnip tups and fresh spring onions to tempt the palates of winter-worn families may find comfort in the troubles of a caterer who goes marketing of a morning for ten pounds of hay and fcur quarts of grain to feed his baby buffalo. "Thip is Just one of the minor items on the daily menu that the superin tendent of one famous zoological gar den must provide for his polyglot family," says a bulletin from the Washington, D. C.t headquarters of the National Geographic society. "A chimpanzee must have two oranges, a cup of boiled rice and two eggs beaten in a glass and a half of milk for his breakfast; a half dozen bananas f and some warm milk at noon; and a slice of rye bread, two oranges and two glasses of milk for his dinner. To add to the keeper's woes and quite a bit to his amuse ment a baby monkey has to be fed occasionally from a bottle and later with spoon for he must get his table manners early in life. "And how is the hippo fed? He knows the hour and the man and when both approach he opens the enormous cavity between his jaws and awaits the shoveling in of quarts of rolled oats, 3'i quarts of bran, the four heads of cabbage, the half basket, of potatoes, and the five pounds of hay that make his meal. "The elephant goes him one better on the hay. He needs 75 pounds for his morning meal and his eight quarts of oats and eight quarts of bran in the afternoon. "The poor 'pater famiiias' at the National Zoological park in Washing ten, D. C, must provide for the queer members of hij household about 300 pounds of horse meat to satisfy the hunger pangs of his lions, tigers, wolves, foxes and leopards, one lion alone requiring 12 pounds to turn his attention from his secret desire for a tempting portion of the anatomy of his keeper. "The horse meat Is merely a small item on the order for the day at this zoo. There aie also 120 pounds of fish for the sea lions and seals, the fiah-duck, and other fish-eating birds; and for some of the connois seurs a long list from the vegetable kingdom carrots, both kinds of po tatoes, beets, spinach, cabbage and turnips; and quantities of eggs and milk for the babies. These creatures are fastidious. The ostrich must have his two quarts of alfalfa chopped, and his quart of corn cracked, and the constituents of his dietary bran, carrots, beets and bread must be properly balanced. The giraffe is sometimes temperamental and when he takes a notion that he won't bend his head for his food, there is noth ing for his keeper to do but climb a fence or get a long step ladder. "Snakes are partial to eggs. They also like rats, birds and small mam mals. The boa wraps himself around his dinner, squeezes it and swallows it whole. If he has two animals to manage at the same time, he ties one up in a knot at the end of his tail while he sticks his long teeth into the other. Nor does It bother him if the animal he has to swallow is larger than his head. His jaws are loose and elastic. He opens them both ver tically and horizontally as he gently urges down his prey, and the course It takes down his body Is perfectly evident. "One zoo owned until recently a koala, or Australian bear, for whom eucalyptus leaves from California had to be provided. The prince of Wales also owns one of these ani mals. The reindeer and caribou must have their .moss Imported from Can ada, and any zoo fortunate enough to own an apteryx must dig earth worms to soothe his hunger pangs. "The yearly 'table' of one such zoo averages between 836.000 and 840,000. But cities consider the Investment pays ample dividends in stimulating nature study, in inculcating love of living things, and in adding to the lure of outdoors for city dwellers.

"It Is more than a pleasure to me to praise Tan lac, for the way It has helped my little boy and myself cer tainly is something to be thankful for," said Mrs. Hattie It. Stevens, 6736 Eleventh avenue, Seattle, Wash., re cently. "I've gained 15 pounds by taking this grand medicine, and it has almost entirely relieved me of a trouble that bothered me since early childhood. When I was a little girl I commenced suffering with severe headaches, and for years before I got Tan lac my gen eral health seemed to be going down hill. Then about a year ago I had a breakdown, lost my appetite entirely and got to where I couldn't eat any thing without suffering the most aw ful pain and distress from indiges tion. Gas on stomach, heartburn, pains and distress weakened me andj made my nerves so toucny i jusi ui up in my chair many nights because I couldn't sleep. I always felt so tired I could hardly do any of my housework. "But my very first bottle of Tanlac made be feel like a different woman. I'm in just splendid condition . now, can eat anything I want without a bit of trouble, and hardly ever have a headache any more. Jly little boy was in an awfully puny condition, but there's all the difference in the world in him since he's been taking Tanlac. We think Tanlac is simply grand." Tanlac i sold in Portland by the Owl Drug company and all leading druggists. Adv.
