THE HORNING - OltEGOXIAX, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1921 LABOR 11 m DI E FOR PEACE Parades Armistice Day Are 'on Programme. ARMS CUT SUPPORTED Demonstrations Backing Tp Gov ernment Will Be Staged by American .Federation, WASHINGTON. D. C. Sept. 11. Plans for a nation-wide demonstra tion Armistice day under the lead ership of organized labor "in support of the purpose underlying the inter national conference on the limitation ot armament" were announced yester day by the American Federation of Labor. Central unions have been asked to organize parades and mass B:eetings on that day when the inter national conference begins. "It Is planned," the announcement eaid, "to unite all civic bodies, trade union auxiliaries, women's trade union eagues, educational organiza tions, women's clubs and all organ izations interested in civic affairs of a progressive character in the great effort." The purpose of the demonstrations, as expressed in the communication cent by President Gompers to the central unions, is "backing up our government in its leadership toward disarmament and giving courage and determination to the American repre sentatives1 in the international com mission." Demonstrations Are Planned. It is planned to signalize Armistice day and the opening of the conference with demonstrations in which it is proposed by federation officials that every city, town and community will be represented. The plan even goes beyond the Armistice-day demonstrations, the announcement said, and looks to con tinuing the movement in such fashion "as to bring to the support of the conference a constant expression of American public opinion" during the deliberations. A memorial to the in ternational gathering urging reduc tion of armament and the settlement of international disputes without arms will be forwarded by the fed eration for adoption by each mass meeting. . "The 'time has come to disarm' Is the slogan," said President Gompers letter. "The hour has struck to make good our faith in democracy, to bring success to the great constructive movement in wh en labor has ever been the leader. Practical Reason lirged. "L.et this be America's greatest demonstration." Attention was called to an article by Mr. Gompers in the Federation Journal saying disarmament now was possible ''for practical reasons," while sentimental reasons had existed al ways. But the necessity of "protect ing democracy against the constant threat and menace of autocracy and militarism," Mr. Gompers added, al ways had stood in the way. In connection with the disarma ment demonstrations. It was stated, Mr. Gompers plans assembling an ad visory committee "composed of lead ing men and women in all walks of ' life." The object of the committee, he stated, will be to aid in obtaining "full expression f the disarmament sentiment of the country" and also to offer "helpful and constructive suggestions." other war between the Suey Sing and Hop Sing tonge, two armed members of the Suey Sing organization were arrested in a raid early last night. Trouble has been brewing between the two tongs since Lew Loon, mem ber of the Suey Sing, was shot and killed in the Chinese quarter August 9. Word was freely passed that mem bers of his tong intended to avenge the death of their fellow tongman, according to police.

Columbia River District Leads With Total of $3 7,190; Income From Various Sources Shown. Commercial fisheries of Oregon have brought a revenue of more than $45,000 to the state in the nine months from December 1, 1920, to August 31. 1921, according to Carl D. Shoe maker, master fish warden. The Co lumbia river district yielded $37,190.27 of the total of $45,030,53 collected during the season, while district No. 2, comprising the coaet region of the state, yielded $7840.26. District No. 2, comprising all but the Columbia river territory, had three canneries in operation this year, as compared with ten in 1920. Rev enue .from the Columbia river can neries exceeded that of 1920, although there was one less cannery in opera tion. The increase, amounting to about $2000, was due to a 6-cent fee per case of salmon packed in place of the old 5-cent fee. The money derived from the license fees is devoted to the protection and propagation of commercial fish.

(By the Associated Press.) The Col orado state industrial commission yes terday set aside a wage reduction in augurated in coal mines of the Colo rado Fuel & Iron company in Huer fano and Las Animas counties, and placed the old wage scale in effect pending further Investigation of the controversy which has tied up many mines for more than a week. When the temporary order was an nounced counsel for both sides indi cated acceptance.: The order was signed by Joseph C. Bell, chairman, and W. I. Reilly, member. H. E. Hilts, another member, did not sign the order. The commission announced that hearings would be resumed Monday, September 19. Chairman J. C.

The .present order, he de clared, contained no findings of fact and was in no sense a final order. It was learned that one of the mo tives that prompted the order was the fact it was felt that the men should be allowed to earn money and the company should be permitted to mine coal during the investigation, which is expected to consume several weeks.

Fire Destroys Fine Barn. HARRISBURG, Or., Sept. 11. (Spe cial.) A fine large barn on the Ed L. Ayers farm, south of town, was de stroyed by fire Thursday afternoon. About 40 tons of hay and some farm machinery also were consumed. The fire evidently started from a brush fire which had been burning the eve ning before, but was presumed to be out. Half a hundred of Mr. Ayere' hop pickers were rushed to the fire, but were unable to do more than keep the blaze from taking other farm buildings. TTNTVERSITT Of IDAHO, Moscow. Idaho can produce its own wood oils for the concentration of lead, zinc and copper ores by the flotation process, rather than having- to send to the south or to the Great Lakes or the eastern states, says a "bulletin published by the University.f Idaho. The notation process is extensively used in the concentration of these ores in Idaho and other western etates. It is estimated that there will be 100,000,000 cords of wood waste available in Idaho forests for the manufacture of by-products. The report embodies the results of investigations made jointly by the school of forestry and the school of mines of the university, in co-operation with the state bureau of mines and geology. The bulletin is the work of I. W. Cook and Henry Schmltz of the school of forestry and Louis A. Grant of the state bureau of mines and geology. "The net result of the investiga tion," says the bulletin, "shows that certain of the oils are well adapted to flotation use and the conclusion Is reached that persons contemplating tne manuractture of forest by-prod uses would do well to consider the advisability of producing those frac lions which are demonstrated as hav ing a notation value. The total stand of merchantable timber In the state of Idaho has been variously estimated at from 98.000. 000,000 to 130,000.000,000 feet, board measure. Each billion feet of lumber manufacture entails a waste through logging and milling of a volume equivalent to from 1,000,000,000 to 1.500,000,000 feet, board measure. If the lower figure is taken in each In stance it is evident that in the manu facture of the merchantable timber of Idaho there will be a waste of ap proximately 98.000.000,000 feet, board measure, equivalent to S.OOO.OOO.O-OO cubic feet, or 100,000,000 cords. It is evident then that the supply of raw material for any industry utilizing wood waste is enormous. 'A large percentage of wood oils now produced and used in the flota tion process Is the by-product either of wood turpentine plants In the southern states using southern yellow pine wood or .of the wool alcohol plants in the states of the Great Lakes and in the eastern states, in which hardwoods are used." Of the western woods distilled the oils produced by the distillation of Port Orford cedar were found in gen eral to be the most satisfactory, com paring favorably with the best flota tion oils on the market, according to the bulletin. This species of cedar is not found, however, in Idaho forests. Oils produced by the destructive distillation of lodgepole pine, red fir and larch (commonly called tamarack) were found to be good flotation agents compared with the standard oils used. Oils produced by the destructive distillation of western red cedar, yel low pine and white fir were classed as fair flotation agents, compared to the standard oils used. The bulletin contains many columns of figures showing In detail the re sults of the experiments, both in the distillation of the oils arid in their use in the flotation process. - - WORK AJiOXG WIID TRIBES IX IXDIA RELATED.

The district superinten dent of police told me that so far as he was able to learn these thieves got not more than 10 per cent of the amount they stole, because of the high toll taken by the receivers of stolen goods and by 'the subordinate police in the way of graft."

The law of work has proved so effica cious, the missionary said, that half his people could now have their reg istration as thieves canceled and make good as citizens.

Accurate Reports ' Unobtainable Because of Wires Being Down and Impassable Roads. SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Sept. 11.- Three men were killed, another was seriously, perhaps fatally, injured, at least one person is missing and heavy damage to livestock and farm prop erty was caused by a tornado near here Friday night. Wires are down and the roads im passable with fallen trees and debris and accurate reports of the toll of tne storm are difficult to obtain. Reports that the villages of Hart ford and Ellis had been destroyed were without foundation. Ben Woods and George Fenelon, both of Sioux Falls, were found dead in a field some distance from the road where they left their automobile when the storm broke. No damage was done in Sioux Foils proper. OMAHA, Sept. 11.

Hls'work, he said, was "a curious mixture of the law and the gospel," since the criminal tribes' act gives him certain magisterial powers over the Kavali settlement of criminals, in which 1088 members were enrolled when Rev Mr. Bawden left India. At times, he said, he had found it neces sary to carry a revolver, In quelling riots between two castes or in subdu ing the rebellion of 350 criminals who had just been sent to the settlement.

The" old fort, which Captain Myles Standish set up and manned for the protection of the little Pilgrim colony, is to be armed again. Through the Initiative of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery com pany of Boston, the British govern ment has taken from the royal ar senal at Woolwich two guns of the 16th century, similar to those of the forefathers' day, and given them as memorial guard over the graves of the forefathers on Burial hill. Colonel Sydney M. Hedges of Bos ton, former commander of the An cients, has received through Secretary of War Weeks a letter from the navy department containing notice that the United States ship Pittsburg has been assigned to convey the guns to this country, and her commander has been instructed to receive them at Gravesend "with proper ceremony." They will reach this country the lat ter part of July and will be received here. Colonel Hedges said, in like manner. , . The guns are described as follows: A brass sakaret, of the time of Ed ward VI, bearing a shield with three lions passant and underneath an in scription, "Thos. Owen made this pece for the Ye'l of Garnse when Sir Peters Mevtas was governor and captain, A. D. 1599." This gun is e feet long, weighs 608 pounds, and was a breechloader. A brass minion of the time of Queen letters M. R. (Maria Reglna), and Inscription "John and" Thos. Mayo, brethren, made thlse pece, A. D. 1554."
