Mr. Swetman Indorsed the plan, which, he said, will result in a. school district paying school taxes according to its wealth and receiving money from the school fund in accordance with the number of its pupils. He cited a number of inconsistencies in the present manner of distributing school funds. Mr. Swetman yesterday noon addressed the chamber of com merce at its weekly luncheon on the same subject.

Tmorrisom, alder, west park, and TENTH STREETS-T THE MORNING OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, 3IAT 24, 1923 BOARD A REES W TH 10 LABOR WAGE SCALE IS ADOPTED Working Conditions Also Decided and Agreement Is Expected to Be Signed Today. In line with the findings of the Oregon state board of conciliation as to the longshore strike, shipping board representatives and a commit tee of union longshoremen yesterday agreed on a working plan that in cludes the appointment of a bureau or committee of four to pass on the employment at a neutral hiring point. The wage scale and working condi tions were decided yesterday and an agreement embodying them will be signed today. As concerns participation by the Waterfront Employers' union in eteps for an agreement, there were no de velopments indicating a change of plan from the one proposed to the state board Monday. This provided for a committee of eight, to be made up of four employers and the same number of employes, two to be union members and two to be drawn from the non-union workers at present en gaged in cargo work. Sew Plan Is Not Accepted. The employers, in session yester day with shipping board representa tives, offered representation to the government on the committee to the extent of one member, but the plan was not accepted. J. C. Jenkins, who came here from Washington when the Etrike was precipitated, says the ship ping board is adhering strictly to the findings of the state board, there fore it has arranged for a committee of four with equal representation of employers and union men. Today the Columbia Pacific Shipping company, as the operator of government car Tiers, will be invited to have a rep resentative on the committee, the other for the employers being from the shipping board. With the execution of the agree ment today between the union long shoremen and Bhipping board, it is understood an order will go forth to the jColumbia Pacific Shipping com pany to handle cargo on government ships with union men and according to the hiring plan. At present non union longshoremen are working them. All ships were worked in the har bor yesterday by men from the hall of the Waterfront Employers' union, and in support of their general atti tude on the findings of the state board the employers yesterday gave out the following statement: Much Thought Given Matter. "When the Waterfront Employers' union submitted to the state board of conciliation details of a plan for the establishment of a bureau that would have in charge all matters pertaining to working conditions on the water front, it had in mind what it considered the best interests of the employes as well as the employers. The members of the Employers' union have given much thought to this mattpr and they are confident that the proposition if accepted will bring about the much desired har mony in Portland's shipping industry. "The public is deeply interested in the controversy and it is the wish of the Employers' union that its atti tude in the matter be made, perfectly clear. The suggestion of the Em ployers' union is that the proposed bureau should be composed of four employers and four employes, the latter to be two union men and two nonunion men. This would give equal representation to all workers on the water front irrespective of labor organizations. It ia the work ers as a body that the employers would deal with- in the settlement of all questions that may arise without prejudice to any man because of his lodge or organization affiliations. There would be no discrimination against union men; no discrimination against non-union men. There must be absolute fairness to all engaged in water-front work. Hmployea Family Men. "We now have working out of our hall a number of men equal to that registered at the International Long shoremen's association hall. These men are of the best type, largely family men and home owners. They are very efficient and have been en thusiastic in their efforts to keep this port open during the past month since the strike has been in effect. The employers intend to make good to them the promise that in the set tlement of this controversy they would be insured a fair proportion of work on the water front. "The employers feel that their proposition is in strict accordance with the findings of the state board of conciliation and the wishes of the shipping board as it gives employers and employes, equal representation on the managing committee. This would not be the case if the counter proposal of the Longshoremen's union were accepted. That would shut out the non-union men and give them no voice in the management of their own affairs, resulting in a short time in their elimination from all water-front work. This must not be; it would not be fair and the employers cannot permit it." Industrial Growth Noted by Northwest Press. Deschutes . Lumber Company to Build Sawmill I ear Prineville. I Take Your Discount in S. & H. Stamps We Give Them FREE ! THE Deschutes Lumber company has closed a deal with the Prine ville Lumber company for all their timber . on McKay and Grizzly and plan to install a mill of 35,000 ca pacity just below Prineville, says the Central. P. H. Wall, president of the Des chutes Lumber company, already has a crew of men at work on the pro posed millsite erecting quarters for the help and soon will be moving dirt on the construction of the mill pond. At the same time, logging opera tions will commence on the B. L. Kid well land on McKay and logs will be moved by trucks from the timber and dumped into the pond. It is expected about half a million feet of logs will be at the mill before sawing opera tions start, which will be possibly 90 days. While this is only a small mill it will be a great help to this section. Mr. Wall, president of the Des chutes Lumber company, is a man of many year's experience in the lumber business. C. O. Hand, secretary of the company, already has arrived with his family and will superintend construction. Merchants and people of Prineville rendered valuable aid In securing this enterprise. It is the plan of the new company later to Install a dry kiln and planer. They are wholesale operators and will ship the entire output over the City of Prineville railway. Good Coal In Conutlle Valley. The Henderson Coal company re ports to the Coqullle "Valley Sentinel that in a recent drift of 50 feet fur ther on the vein it has been working, a much better quality of coal has been struck. The bunkers, which hold 40 tons, are now filled. The vein is seven feet thick, five feet of the thickness being marketable coal. On the company's lease, a mile and a half up the Cunningham, surveys in dicate 492,000 tons of coal. Mr. Hen derson says before locating he spent several months prospecting western Oregon, and this was the best avail able vein he found. One on the line of the Albany & Newport railroad that looked good would have requirea the building of a six-mile spur at an expense of some hundreds of thou sands of dollars; and the owners of the land asked 50 cents a ton royalty. School Taxation Plan Presented. CENTRALIA, Wash., May 23. (Spe cial.) Ralph Swetman, field, secretary of the Washington State Parent Teacher association, at the high Hair Often Ruined by Careless Washing Soap should be used very carefully if you want to keep your hair looking its best. Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle and' ruins it. The best thing for steady use is Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo (which Is pure and greaseless) and is better than anything else you can use. Two or three teaspoonfuls of Mul sified in a cup or glass with a-little warm water is sufficient to cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly. Sim ply moisten the hair with water and lull it in. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, which rinses out easily, removing every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excess oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves the scalp soft and the hair fine and silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to manage. You can get Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo at any pharmacy; it's very cheap, and a few ounces will supply every member of the family for months. Be sure your druggist gives you aiuismea. Adv. ille ia Vote on Bonl Issue. Coquille, Or., will vote at a special election June 20 on the question of an additional issue of $20,000 in bonds for enlarging the city's water sys tem. The council unanimously agreed that a larger storage reservoir should be built on the headwaters of Rink ri-aair than the funds now available would permit. With the higher dam and greatly increasea storage capa city the water supply then will be for vears. and the payment of the bonds, which will mature in 30 years (optional in 10) will not in crease the taxes of the city for all water bonds are paid out of the re ceipts and not out of the general fund, says the Coqullle Sentinel.

George Sleret bought this plow from Father Kelly 35 years ago. He has used it ever since; He is now using the same plow with the original beam and han dles to plow the gardens in his neigh borhood.

LIBRARY GIVES AWARDS 325 School Children Receive Cer tificates for Reading. The public library has awarded cer tificates to 325 children, attending the country schools of Multnomah county, for reading five books, espe cially recommended by the library. Miss Ruth Paxson, the school librar ian, visited the schools early in the year to talk about library books and interest the children in the reading certificates. She provided each school with a library, in which were a group of classics, especially recom mended for children. On a later visit, she awarded the certificates to each child, who could give an oral review of five books from this group. In one little school up in the mountains, four children out qf the six attending earned the certificates: The other two were in the first grade and only those in the fifth to eighth grades are eligible for the certificates. Farmer Visits Auto Camp in House on Wheels. Colorado Family Taking Yeara to Tour United States. Orpheum matinee today, 15-25-50-Ad. BY ADDISON BENNETT. i PA. WILMOTH, Mrs. Wilmothandj their five small children arrived at the municipal auto camp from Fort Lipton, Colo. They are traveling in a house on wheels, the motive power being the engine of a three-quarter-ton Commerce truck. The house was built by the owner, who is one of the prosperous farmers of Colorado. The first of the year he rented his farm for a year and struck out for a year's trip. They went first around through New Mexico, Arizona and up through California and thence to Portland. From here their trip is rather in definite, but it does not matter much where they go or when they go just so they get back to the farm by Jan uary 1. "Gee, ain't It fine to be a farmer!" H. K. Oliver wa formerly a member of the New York city police force; now he is a gentleman of leisure traveling with his wife and son, Harry, age 6, over the whole face of the United States. They left New Tork last August and are now headed for Broadway again, but not to stay, not to tarry even, just long enough to dispose of some property he has and then hit the trail again for the west. H. E. Dahlberg and Mrs. Dahlberg have been living in Portland for sev eral months, but are all packed up and headed for Astoria, hoping to find a location somewhere in Clatsop county. W. E. Chilstrom, a druggist, turned farmer, is at the camp picking up in formation about Eugene, where he is headed. He is looking for a drug store or a farm, and he ought to find what he wants somewhere in Lane county. About 25 years ago Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Parker made final proof on their homestead and went to California. Just a day or two ago she and a party of her descendants came back and went up to the old homestead which is on Bull Run river, four miles above the headworks of the water works. Of course the city finally got title to the land; but anyhow the party found the old home where they,' or some of them, lived for several years, and identified the site by their old cook stove which is still "holding down" the claim. Mr. and Mrs. Park er now live in- Los Angeles, where Mr. Parker is president of a San Pedro mining company, the Point Firman Gas & Oil company. Mrs. Parker a few weeks ago packed her family in an auto and left for Pendleton, where she was -to meet her son, J. Ben Park er, who lives at Kellogg, Idaho, and a metallurgist in employ of the great Bunker Hill & Sullivan mine. His wife and two children came with him from Kellogg, Milton, age 9, and Robert, age 4. With Mrs. Parker sr., came her daughter. Frances, a leading photographer of Los Angeles, another daughter, Charlotte, and a young son, Wallace. From Pendleton the party in their two cars drove down here and then went to the "old homestead," and tried to identify the city of 25 to 35 years ago. But the landmarks were few only a few of the out-buildings being recognizable. The enMre party of nine had a regular camp dinner at one of the tables, and made up about the'jolliest party the old grove has ever witnessed. REUNION PLANS FINISHED 65th Artillery to Have Banquet and Elect Officers Saturday. All arrangements for the first re union of the Oregon units of the 65th artillery, coa9t artillery corps, have been completed, according to the com mittee in charge of preparing for the event to be held at the Benson, hotel Saturday.

The plan is to elect a reunion asso elation president, vice-president, sec retary and treasurer, whose duty it will be to prepare for next year's event. Batteries C. D and E, with the sup ply company, were composed almost entirely of Oregon's men who were members of the Oregon coast artillery national guard before the war. The. guardsmen, were sent overseas and' equipped Wltn .a jiingiiHU nowitzers, which were used effectively at St. Mihiel and in the Argonne fighting. RELIEF BUNDLES WANTED OLD CliOTHES SOUGHT FOR XEEDY IX NEAR EAST. State to Be Combed in Order to Supply Garments to Refugees in Famine Districts. Today is bundle day for near east relief. Throughout the state clubs, churches, schools, lodges, business houses and other groups are work Ing in the interest of this movement to eave and maintain lives in Asia Minor and southeastern Russia, and bundle day will be observed in al most every community of the state. Mrs. C. B. Simmons, chairman of the commute, said that indications are that Portland will respond very liberally to the appeal with bundles of spare clothing. "I expect our committee to make a record to be proud of In relieving the need of those desperate people," eaid Mrs. Simmons. "We can hardly real ize here what a few of the old clothes that are hanging in our closets will mean in the near east, where people actually die for want of clothing to keep warm. "Portland churches will be open all day to receive bundles, and competent committees will be in charge. Bun dles will also be received at the Y. M. C. A., near east relief headquarters, and the central packing station in the basement of the municipal auditorium. "All bundles should be taken to the nearest bundle station.
