THE MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, APRIL 11, 1923 lltt IN BUILDING -INDUSTRY IS DBJEG Movement Begun to Organize Employers and Unions. STRIFE TO BE FOUGH Success of Oregon Chapter Cited in Effort to Get All Interests To gether at Seattle. PTJGET SOUND BUREAU. Seattle, Wash., April 10. With word that th plan has -worked successfully in Port land. Daniel R. Huntington, chairman of the board of the Washington As sociation of Building and Construc tion, and J. N. Belanger, secretary the Seattle Building Trades council together presented to organized labor, as represented by the bunding trades the movement to form a central body for the investigation and discussion of the problems of the industry. Mr. Huntington and W. M. Clist, contractor, appeared before the trade council as a committee from the as sociation of building and construe tion. They were given a respectful hearing in line with a previous prom ise on the part of representative union men to co-operate in the move ment to restore harmony in the build lng- industry. Mr. Huntington pointed to the success of the Oregon chapter where he had personally investigated its workings, in advocating similar steps here. In this he was supported by Secretary Belanger, who had been sent by the building trades council to study the "get-together" plan. Mr, Belanger strongly urged that it be given a trial' here. In his outline of purposes of the "A. B. C," which he said had been successful in New York. Philadelphia and Boston, as well as in Portland, he described it as an effort to obtain representation of every craft and every profession identified with build 1ng, and by free discussion to cut out bickerings and strife which hamper the industry. He made it plain that it is an association of individuals, not of organizations, and it is prohibited from taking any position on the sub ject of open or closed shop. The ap peal was well received by the trades council members. ELECTRICAL KATE CUT ASKED Seattle Committee Favors Reduo tion far Industrial Current, PUGET SOUND BUREAU, Seattle, Wash., April 10. (Special.) Reduc tion, of 25 per cent "in rates by the Seattle municipal plant for off-peak electrical industrial current will be recommended by the finance commit tee to the council.

Some manufactur ers eaid their bills had doubled since then. RECRUITING OF PUPILS ISSUE Seattle to Act on Army's Request to Solicit Students for Camp. PUGET SOUND BUREAU, Seattle, Wash., April 10. Final action by the board of education has been post poned until next Friday on the re quest of United States .army officers for permission to solicit the Seattle high schools for recruits for the pro posed citizens' training camp at Camp Lewis next summer. The issue precipitated spirited con troversy before the board between a delegation from the American Legion, supporting the request, and a lobby of non-militarists, women and men, who opposed, it. The Legion men pleaded that training is essential to srlve boys a chance in the event they are called. Captain Ewing D. Colvin said lack of previous military train ing was responsible for the death of thousands of Americans in the world war. Pending final decision the board consented to the use of the high echool papers in" conveying the re cruiting message to the boys. At the Theaters. Pantagcs. IF BERTHA DANUBE ever should fall while she is being catapulted through space at Pantages this week she would be a fine example of the -Beautiful Blue Danube." Bertha Is the most interesting person among many, on the new bill which opened yesterday. Bertha is a slender, agile young woman who takes life merrily and risks her pretty neck while serv ing as a human ball tossed lightly from the arms of her two brothers, hanging high in mid-air. The two brothers are casters in a sensational act, and the dainty Bertha and one other brother act as subjects. Any number of phenomena! adventures are put over by the four venturesome Danubes, who maintain a smiling atmosphere all the while they put and take in the spectacular athletic demonstration. The Southern Harmony Four .en tertain delightfully with a pro gramme of melody. The men are smartly appareled and each is gifted with a pleasing musical voice. The baritone soloist is especially likable. The four have picked the tunes that audiences like. Their rendition of "The Memphis Blues" was a riot of harmony. Also from the south are Mason and Bailey, two colored men who are nat ural comedians. They have gathered together a good line of comedy ex change and keep the audience roar ing at the spontaneous fun they fling. They sing, too, and nicely, but the best part of their act is their very fine dancing. Later the two colored men step into another act on the bill, that of the Bernivici Brothers, who play the vio lins, and create another furore with their antics. The Bernivicis are excellent vio linists and are especially good in classical offerings. They are artistic and entertaining. Their act is hand somely put on, and Jack Gold, a vocalist, adds harmony. The act was much liked. I "Along Broadway" Is a pretty and novel turn presented by Henry Cata lano. An excellent pianist, Stanley Murray adds to the appeal of the act and two interesting girls of attrac tive personality who dance further enhance the turn. The girls dress stunningly. Catalano sings nicely. Opening the bill is a strong woman who is remarkably agile emd grace ful. She is Maggie Clifton and an unprogrammed man partner acts as her subject in strong-arm balancing and difficult posings. Beside the Pantagescope filled with news of the day, there is a comedy, The .Rubberneck." featuring Lee Moran. CHAMBER INTEREST HIGH SEVERAL INDUSTRIES SEEK ING PLACES OX 'BOARD. SALE F1M IN PLATFORM OSSMAN PROMISES FAIR AND HONORABLE ADMINISTRATION. Appointee to Vacancy Caused by Resignation of Kavanaugh Files to Retain Position. George Rossman, who was ap pointed from the municipal bench to the circuit court to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Judge Kavanaugh from department No. 1, yesterday announced the platform upon which he intends to run for nomination in the coming primaries.

Neal, and remained with this- firm until his appointment as municipal judge by Mayor Baker and the city council oil August 1. 917. During the time he served in the police court. Judge Rossman tried approximately 96,000 cases,' and, many f these attracted unusual public at tention. Judge Rossman, in announc ing his candidacy, has pointed to the fact that very few of his decisions were reversed when appealed to the lrcuit court. When Judge Kavanaugh resigned from department 1 on March 23, the overnor immediately . appointed udge Rossman to take the place. He will hold this position until January He rlbw seeks nomination that may continue in the place that he so recently assumed. Judge Rossman was married to Miss Loretta Showers, a teacher in Northwestern Law school, in 1915. Both he and his wife are members of the First Congregational church. Balloting for Directors Will Start One Week Ahead of Annual Election on April-28. The annual election of the cham ber of commerce, which will be held during the week of April 24, prom ises to be one of the greatest inter est in the history of the organization as a number of the members are ask ing for greater representation of active members of the chamber on the board of directors.

Among these industries who desire representation is the automobile. The building industry is another seeking recognition and point out that this year will be the greatest in the history ofv that industry in Portland. The nominating committee named James F. Clarkson when Will iam MacMaster declined to serve on the board again. As Mr. Clarkson is a railroad contractor the building in dustry probably will enter a candi date of its own. Harrison A.

By means of The Oregonian wire less apparatus a notice of the young ster's disappearance, together with a brief description of him, was broad cast, to' be picked from the air by thousands of radio fans in this locality. It was hoped that in this way the news of the boy's disappear ance might reach the ears of someone who had seen him recently, or per haps even of those who may have taken him in to keep him until they could find out where he belongs, if such has occurred. The boy seems to be a born explorer and has run away any number of times, according to Mrs. Ora Fleming, his grandmother, with whom he lives. Every other time, however, except one, he has returned after a few hours of exploration, she said. In that one instance he was picked up by a family living a short distance away and kept until his identity was learned through the police. He is described as a happy chap with fair complexion and rosy cheeks. When he disappeared Sunday morning commercial purposes was made sev eral years ago and a plant erected near Bray, Cal.
