of the railway situation that they will

The traffic will not bear the present

of idle freight cars are standing at
every divisional terminal. In some
cases there is not room enough at
divisional points and they have been
run in on sidings at the small towns.
Only the rich can afford to travel for

.Administration Leader Quietly I
Working on Plans to Loosen
, Kail Hates' Strangle Hold.
THE OREGONTAN NEWS BUREAU,
Washington, D. C. June 1. Op
timism pervades the atmosphere
of official Washington. Particularly
in administration circles are there
professions of a firm lelief that con
fiderce is slowly being restored in
the business world, and the' day of
better relations between capital and
labor Is dawning.
All of th administration's big
problems have not been solved nor Is
there a business boom, but it la in
sisted that the country Is getting into
at frame of mind for a real adjust
ment of Its affairs. Much is made of
the alleged change of the frame of
mind of the country since the change
in administration. Both large and
email business men. It Is asserted, are
beginning to see that they must re
turn to something like the pre-war
profit basis if business is to assume
normal conditions. Big business men
were the first to see this, and now
the retailers are inclined to give up
their war profits.
Lo-wer Wage Aeeepte.
' In some circles labor is still Obsti
nate, but there Is a general disposi
tion in the great bc-y of workingmen
to accept a reasonable wage. It is
Insisted that the great mass of labor
4s not following the radical leaders
who are demanding an increase
rather than a reasonable reduction.
The administration, through the la
bor department, the commerce de
partment, the shipping board and
ether agencies, is participating in
negotiations between capital and la-
- bor to prevent a disastrous break
which might inflame the. working
men into a general strike such as is
progressing in England and a num
ber of other European countries. The
administration is in effect saying,
"Gentlemen, be reasonable," and at
the same time carefully obstaining
from dictating to either side. The
federal administration has scrupu
lously kept out of controversies be'
tween employer and employe, where
the situation in any particular is of
a local character. The state authori
ties have been relied upon to work
out their own salvation wherever it
is possible, Th federal government
has confined itself almost exclusively
to dealing with the railway labor
problem and to the merchant marine
-wage difference. Even the railway
labor controversy has been localised
to a great extent.
Marine Strike Katlonal Problem.
The seamen's strike Is entirely a
national affair. As the government
now owns the largest merchant fleet
that has ever been mobilized, it has
become vitally Interested in the rate
of Pay for the crews. With the ex
isting freight rates, the government
cannot pay the present rate of wages
for the crews without greatly m
creasing the appropriations for the
maintenance of the fleet. It will be
necessary to increase the taxes of the
entire country to pay the present sea
men'j wages on the government fleet,
With the insistent demand for a re
duction in taxes, the seamen's strike
is not a very popular movement
among those who know that the tax
payers will be called upon to go down
In their pockets ana pay the differ
ence between what the government
can afford to gtve the seamen and
what they demand.
Admiral Benson, it is stated, pre
sented the Eituation to the president.
It was not necessary for him to dis
cuss at great length the existing con.
citiens of the merchant fleet with the
president, for, as Senator Harding,
he had given considerable thought to
the subject before he was elevated to
the White House. He was a member
of the- senate committee on com
merce, and helped formulate the
Jones act under which it is proposed
to build up an American merchant
marine. Evidently, the president said
In effect to Admiral 'Benson. "All
right, you go ahead and work it out,
for this is not only one of the largest
problems of the administration but it
Is the most intricate." This is the
enly theory upon wh'ch it can be as
sumed that Admiral Benson would
have dared to announce a decrease of
JS per cent In seamen's wages. He
would have scarcely taken such an
'important action without consulting
the leader of the administration.

Lee Morse.
Fascinating Lee Morse, at
Pantages this week, has re
turned to her own home city.
Miss Morse was born and
reared in Portland. She wis
first heard here in concert and
in amateur theatricals. She
gained the attention of music
experts, and the stage was her
next step. Upon her arrival in
the east. Miss Morse was prac
tically unknown, but the re
markable fiber of her voice won
for her marked attention, and
her westward return has been
noticeable by the many flat
tering criticisms she has re
ceived. While here Miss Morse is the
guest of many of her school
day friends, who are giving her
a warm welcome.
Administration Policy Clear.
When the admiral made public the
Intentions of the government, the In
ternational Seamen's union went on a
strike, and at the same time appealed
to the .secretary of labor. Secretary
of Commerce Hoover was also
brought into the controversy.
"All right." the president must have
eaid. "work it out together. It will
require all of the best minds of the
administration to handle it. I do not
think you will require any dictation
from me."
Of course, this is not actual quota
tion from the president. He is never
quoted unless he gives out a written
statement or makes a public speech.
At the same time, the president's
methods in dealing with the different
situations that have developed are so
uniform that those who have watched
events closely during his occupancy
of the White House can hear him
peaking to them.
With two cabinet members and Ad
miral Benson working on the prob
lem of the seamen's strike, there does
not appear to be any friction in the
administration. The officials c-f the
Ship Owners' association have been
storming about what they will do and
what they will not do. The Interna
tional Seamen's union has given out
four or five ultimatums. All through
this, the Eituation has been approach
ing an adjustment. In some ports,
radicals have rioted. These radicals,
who are principally of foreign birth,
will probably never be shipped again
by the government. The outcome of
the whole situation may be more
nearly Americanized crews for Amer
ican ships. a
Harding Works on Solution.
While the president Is the real di
recting power which will eventually
bring an adjustment, he is not is
suing statements from the Whit
House. He does not cry Jn thunder
ing tones what must be done, but Is
usin every legal means to bring it
about. He does not want any per
sonal credit for accomplishing tilings,
but he is apparently perfectly will
ing to have any member of his cabi
net or Admiral Benson occupy the
spotlight.
. The same policy of persuasion and
.nnr.i liation. according t3 those high
up In administration circle, is being
used in dealing with the railway sit-j
uation. Confidence is Deing expressea
that even the railway employes will
most striking Instance of the effect
of the present high freight rates, the
same conditions prevail in other
classes of goods.
Wage Reduction Is Key.
The belief is expressed in adminis
tration circles that the railwaymen
who are idle or working Dart of the
time are beginning to see that they
can obtain steady employment only
through a reasonable reduction in pay,
v ith a lower rate or wage per mil,
traffic will be restored and in the end
railway men will make more money.
With the reduction in wages, the
administration will then take steps
through the interstate commerce com
mission to bring about a reduction in
passenger and freight rates. Espe
cially, lower freight ratas are being
demanded. With lower freight rates,
it is argued, normal conditions will be
restored even If there Is no boom
Thus gradually war conditions will
disappear without any serious shock
to the entire business fabiic of the
country.
This all appears easy as It is ex
plained by administration leaders.
More than this, they insist that it is
gradually taking place.
The administration enthusiasts point
to how the disarmament movement is
being handled in congress as an argu
ment to sustain their contentions.
They declare that the administration
is sailing onward on an even keei
without disturbing the business of.
the country.
Last session congress appeared to
be headed for the reduction of the
army to less than lOU.vt'U. The na
tional defense art authorized a peace
strength army of about lr,000.
The prospect for the navy was even
gloomier in the house. Without any
international conference the pacifist
who appeared to be in the ascendancy
urged that this country ne disarmed.
Pre-War Strength Probable.
Congress was more reasonable when
it convened for this session, but not
much. With every jay ot discussion
and quiet pressure from the White
House, the situation has Improved.
Now, the house has enacttd a 160,000
army bill and the senate will probably
raise it to 176.000. Before it gets
through the house the army may be
restored to the strength that was
authorized before the great war. This
is the strength that was mentioned by
President Harding before r was in
augurated and is. the one v.hich Secre
tary Weeks has urged In his hearing
before the congressional . committee.
While evincing little interest in the
many propositions Tor disarmament,
made both in the senatw and house,
the president has gone ahead and
probably will secure juot what he set
out to obtain in the beginning
Incidentally, withovt opposition from
the president. Senator Borah's die-
armament resolution has been at
tached to the navy bill. A similar pro
vision was enacted in tha navy bill in
191S, when the present naval pro
gramme was adopted. When the presi
dent saw that his opposition to the
Borah resolution was delaying the
passage of the naval bill, he asked
his friends in the senate to support it.
The president had intended all along
to discuss the reduction rf armament
question with the other great powers
when the time was opportune, and
after thinking it over he saw no ob
jection to attaching another resolu
tion of this character to the naval
bill.
Now, all of this has taken place
without any friction betwoen the ad
ministration and congress. The ad
ministration supporters refer to it as
only an illustration of how the presi
dent will do things without getting
into trouble with congress. This, they
assert, is normalcy.
CITY MAKES COMPROMISE
Hospital ' Association Will Pay

promise offer of the National Hos
pital association of J '000 in payment
for care of patients of the associa

Mayor Baker opposed acceptance
of the offer, but relented when in
formed, by City Attorney Grant that

tion was resorted to.

that the hospital association should

THREE WAYS HELD OPEN
Peonage Political Action or Rev'
olution Cited If the Co-operative
Movement Fails.
EUGENE, Or., June 1. (Special.)
Peonage or peasantry of the middle
ob-ps oolitical action and the state
ownership and operation of the sys
tem of distribution, or revolution-
these are the three possibilities open
t th American farmer should the
co-operative movement fail, eaid C.
E. Spence. master of the Oregon state
grange, which is here in 48tn annual
session. Spence's report, which
nainted in dark colors the condition
of the American farmer, attacked the
railroads, burdensome taxes and the
federal reserve system has been re
ferred to committees.
Partial expression to the troubles
uppermost in the minds of the farm
ers of Oregon was given with the
introduction of -resolutions covering a
wide range of subjects.
Taxation, the highway commission.
prohibition enforcement, conservation
of scenic beauties, state educational
institutions these were the subjects
of the first of the resolutions to come
before the grange. The mass conven
tion work followed the annual aa
dress of Grange Master Spence. which
was a feature of the morning ses
sion. A great inrush of resolutions
1b expected tomorrow, the third day
of the conclave, to be referred to
committees in preparation for . con
sideration Friday morning.
J. A. Churchill Summoned.
Vigorous objetclon to the removal
of agriculture from the curriculum of
the public school , expected at the
morning session led to the summoning
of J. A. Churchill, state superintend
ent of schools, to appear before the
grange this morning to explain his
attitude and to work with the grang
ers toward a solution. "I am un
alterably opposed to the removal of
the agricultural text books from the
schools," said Grange Master Spence.
'We want to meet with Mr. Churchill
to find some remedy for the situa
tion. Mr. Churchill has sent word
that he will appear at 11 o'clock to
morrow to address the morning ses
sion." Sentiment among the dele
gates and the state officers on the
matter is aligned with that expressed
by Spence.
A closely contested race was in
cluded in the balloting to fill the
vacancy in the executive committee.
Nominated to run against C. L. Shaw
of Albany, who has held the position
since 1910, was C. ' T. Galligan of
Dufur.
Address Well Received.
Enthusiastic reception was given
to the annual address by the stats
master and provision made to have
copies printed and sent about state.
Theplea for a curbing 'of extrava
gance in 'bond issues foi" public im
provements, uttered by the grand
master In his address, was reiterated
by M. C. Glover, state steward, in his
annual report delivered at the morn-
ng session.
"The reckless spending of the pub
lic's money should be stopped." de-
lared Mr. Glover, who warned
gaint saddling the coming genera-
Ion with debts harder to Dav in the
future with decreasing value of
money.
Means of building up the erranira
nd making It a valuable communitv
center was discussed by th? steward,
who urged a well-balanced entertain
ment adopted to hold the Interest of
ii types or membership. Serious dis-
ussion of live questions for the
dults and entertainment for the
younger members of the grange was
uggestea.
neither would make a full statement
without opportunity to study the com
plete decision handed down by the
court, which was not available, yes
terday, they agreed that the chief ap
parent effect would be. that prosecu
tions hereafter will be brought en
tirely under the Volstead act instead
of under the old revenue laws, in
the cases now pending under the old
liquor sections of the revenue laws
prosecution may be brought against
the defendants under the prohibition
act.
The two men known as Boze Tugi
novltch and Cousin Boze Yuginovitch
were arrested in April, 1920, while op
erating a still near Boring. When
both men gave the .same name, the
prefix "Cousin" was affixed to one as
a means of identification. Two com
plete stills, 75 gallons of moonshine
j and 1700 gallons of corn mash were
found at the time of their arrest.
They pleaded guilty to violating the
prohibition law and were fined $200
each at Oregon City.
Later indictments were returned
against them by the federal grand
jury for violating the federal revenue
acts, in that they were distillers with
out having paid the proper tax. that
they operated a distillery without dis
playing the proper signs and without
posting the required bond with the
government.
Barnett Goldstein, attorney for the
men, filed a demurrer to the indict
ment on the grounds that these sec
tions of the revenue act were obso
lete, having been superseded by the
Volstead act. Judge Bean upheld the
demurrer and the supreme court sus
tained Judge Bean's ruling.
In the opinion of United States At
torney Humphreys, the supreme .court
ruling will not prevent the govern
ment from bringing action against the
men to recover taxes on their distil
lery and Its product
"The ruling of the supreme court
will pot Interfere with the work of i
the prohibition officers in Oregon to I
any great extent, because we have
been bringing prosecutions under the
Volstead act for some months past,
said Mr. Flanders.
"We are glad to have the point de
elded," said Mr. Humphreys. "We are
getting more concise and clearer rul
lngs on the prohibition laws every
day. The Volstead act was a depart
ure from most of the -prior legislation
of congress and naturally much con
fusion has arisen concerning It. Each
supreme court decisirn clarifies the
atmosphere just that much more."
so far as the local officials know,
the supreme court decision in no man
ner interferes with the Oregon state
prohibition laws, which are far more
rigid than the federal acts. This
point, is now before the supreme court
in a case appealed from another state.

Measure Iiikel to Be Reported to
House Today.
AV ASHING TON, D. C, June 1. The
Volstead bill, designed to prevent use
of medical beer, was agreed on today
by the house judiciary committee,
which will report it to the house.
probably tomorrow, with a request
for its immediate passage. Frohibi
tion leaders declared there were votes
enough to put it through before the
bureau of internal revenue could
make effective proposed regulations
by which beer could be prescribed for
the ailing under a ruling of former
Attorney-General Palmer.
Although the measure would make
the prohibition enforcement act more
drastic, representatives of the drug
and flavoring extract trades won
their fight against a section requlr-
ng the medicating or denaturing of
alcohol prior to its withdrawal from
warehouses and distilleries for man
ufacturing purposes.
Chairman Volstead, by direction of
the committee, introduced a redraft
of his bill, slightly modified in some
particulars. The section prohibiting
mportation and manufacture of
iquor until stocks now held under
government supervision have been
materially reduced or exhausted was
retained.
Other Reports Heard.
Other reports heard were those of

their inconsistency with the na
tional prohibition act.
In construing penal statutes it is
the rule that later enactments repeal
former ones practically covering the
same acts, but fixing a smaller pen
alty. Having In view these principles,
we do not believe that the general
language used evidences the intention
of congress to inflict for such an of
fense the punishment provided by sec
tion 3257 with the resulting for
feiture, fine and imprisonment and at
the same time to authorize prosecu

for failing to pay a tax by imposing a
tax double the amount imposed by
law. .
"We agree with the court below
that while congress manifested an in

as legally produced, it did not intend
to preserve the old penalties in addi

Hears Plea for Better Herds.
WILLAMINA, Or., June 1. (Spe

Agricultural college, dairy specialist
made an appeal to the farmers of the
Willamina, Grand Ronde section for
weeding out the bovine star boarder
and improving the flock in general.
More than 200 persons gathered at
the Rogue River school-house to hear
the address.
"A visit to the farms in this com

been made in the dairy business," said
Mr. Fitts.
SALEM, Or., June 1. (Special.)
That the constitution and by-laws o
the Neighbors of Woodcraft, a frater
nal organization with headquarters
in Portland, should be so changed a
to eliminate much of the arbitrary au
thority now vested in Mrs. C. C. van
Orsdal, grand guardian, and other
rand officers of the society, wa
recommended in a report prepared by
the insurance departments of Oregon,
Washington and Idaho, following the
semi-annual examination of the af
fairs of the concern conducted 1
Portland May 14.
The report branded the presen
plan of benefit assessments as im
practical, and in no way different
from the former so-called pass-the
hat assessment policy. The examina
tion also disclosed, according to the
report, that the present rate of con
trlbution to the benefit fund was In
adequate to meet the claims with th
advancing age of Its membership. Th
result, said the report, will be llttl
different from that of fraternals of
the past, which found increased as
sessments too heavy a burden for th
older members.
Conduct of Home Criticised.
Sharp criticism also was made of
the conduct of the Woodcraft horn
at Riverside, Cal. It was charged by
members of the various circles, of th
order, according to the report, that
the management had Involved the or
ganization in heavy debts to purchas
land and found a home, ut that
yet no benefits had been made avail
able. This was due, the report said.
to the fact that the present building
is inadequate to care for more than
a few of the homeless members of the
order.
"The expenditures on this ac
count," said the report, "apparentl
have been for land, as the home ha
not yet materialized. While at least
one free site was offered to the orde
for the Woodcraft home In Los An
genes county, it was not accepted
After expending nearly $7000 fo
traveling expenses and the selection
of three prospective sites, tne grana
guardian negotiated for the home in
Riverside county, California. Thi
action later was approved by the
grand managers."
' Charges Are Detailed.
The report also showed that any
member who has made application for
admission to the home has been re
quired to make the home the bene
ficiary under the certificate carried
in the order. Also that temporary
visitors to the home. If- members
were charged $2.50 a day while, if no
members, they were charged at the
rate of $5 per day.
A statement made by Mrs. Van
Orsdal, grand guardian, and released
inrougn me facinc r,cno, said ine
report, "Informed the members that
the Woodcraft home Is not a chari
table institution. The facts as shown
herein appear to verify this state
ment, and therefore it is believed the
home cannot be a legal beneficiary
under the laws of the state of Ore
gon.
Situation Made Clearer, Says Unit
ed States 'Attorney.
The decision of the United States
supreme court in the case of the gov
ernment against Boze Yuginovitch
and Cousin Boze Yuginovitch will
cause prosecution to be dropped in
about 30 cases now pending in federal
court, according to the United States
attorney's office. These are cases
brought under the old federal revenue
acts, certain sections of which were
declared by the supreme court to be
superseded by the Volstead act

ment officer for Oregon, appeared
much perturbed by the decision. While

Expenses Declared Hcavj.
'There were expenditures in the
year 1920 charged to the Woodcraft
ome fund aggregating $20,000, which
does not include $8727.24 expended in
remodeling buildings. The first and
only member taken into the home
1920 entered the institution on De
cember 23 of that year. The facts
presented show unreasonable ex
pense, none of which has gone di
rectly to the aid of any member.'
It also was disclosed that the rev
enue of the society for expense pur
poses is inadequate and that there
was considerable debt accrued on ac
count of the expense of the last su
preme meeting. Also that a loan will
have to be negotiated to meet the ex
pense of the supreme circle session
this year.
Payments Held t-P.
Criticism also was made with rela
tion to the delay ensuing after a re
port of death had been filed before
the final payment of claim to repre
sentatives of the deceased members
This delay is due, the report said, to
red tape methods. It was aid that
these delays were criticised at the
time the society was examined in
1914, but apparently there has been
no improvement since that time.
."Technically the order complies
with the Oregon law as to a repre
sentative form of government," said
the report, "but it does not appear to
do so in practice."
The financial statement filed by
the society with the state insurance
commissioners here December 31,

society aggregated $3,226,212. with
