10 TIKE APPLES
Shipment Through Tropics
Is to Be Watched.
CRAFT IS COMING TODAY
Refrigerator Vessels May Be Used
If Fruit Demand in Latin
America' Warrants It.
Possible expansion of Oregon's ap
ple export trade to embrace markets
on the east coast of South America
looms as a consequence of space
being booked on the steamer West
Katan of the Pacific - Argentine -Brazil
line, due today, for a trial
shipment of the fruit.
The West Katan is not in the class
of refrigerator ships but if the ap
ples can be carried through the
tropics in marketable condition it is
promised that shipments will be
made regularly, while a showing as
to the demand for apples in the
Latin-American clime may induce
the ass'gnment of vessels with re
frigerator capacity to that service.
Prune Also Are Shipped.
The fleet is looked after in the
northwest by A. M. Gillespie, Inc.,
and, in addition to the limited apple
shipment, there have been a con
siderable amount of prunes booked
for the ensuing voyage. G. R. Their
ing, Portland, manager forsthe Gil
lespie organization, says the West
Katan will have other cargo drawn
from seasonable products of the dis
trict and in order to afford dispatch
the ship will be worked tomorrow.
The same agency will have the
British steamer Bermuda in port to
morrow to load a full cargo for
China, while at least part of her 6-00
steerage accommodations are ex
pected to be taken. She will load
flour, wheat, canned goods and lum
ber fSr Shanghai and Hongkong, the
load aggregating about 9000 tons.
Cull Made nt IVew Yprk.
The ship hails from the European
side and called at New York on the
way to the canal. She is controlled
by Chinese interests.
In the Pacific - Argentine - Brazil
trade there is reported a more active
solicitation for Pacific coast wares,
while on- the west coast of South
America much the same improve
ment is noted, especially for lumber.
The revival of copper operations and
the resumption of nitrate shipments
from that region are pointed to as
the most dependable of recent indi
' cations that the trade between
North and South America on the Pa
cific side is becoming more sta
bilized. SHI1 BKOKEltS OPKX OFFICE

KLi OFFERS MAYOR I
HELP IS PLEDGED IX WAR
WITH I. W. W. HORDES.
Slate Grand Dragon Gifford in
Letter Says That Knights
AVill Co-openarfc.
The full strength of tha Ku Klux
Klan in Oregon was yesterday of
fered to Mayor Baker for use in
combating the I. W. W. The offer
was made by Fred L. Gifford,
"grand dragon of the state of Ore
gon," who explained in the letter
that he is the state head of the
organization. "
Mr. Gifford has just returned
from a conference of klan officials
in Atlanta, Ga., and the new title
is one, it was understood, which was
bestowed upon him during this con
ference. His letter to the mayor follows:
Mayor, city of Portland, Portland, Or.:
"On returning from Atlanta, Ga., where
I have been for the past two weeks, I
was very much surprised to note in the
daily, rupert the influx o the I. "W. W.
elements in the city of Portland.
The knights of the Ku Klux Klan
is essentially a 100 per cent American
organization, and as such is opposed
to my revolutionary movements, as bol
shevism, socialism, I. W. W.'ism, .and
sevoral other ''isms" that are contrary
to the fundamentals of our democratic
form of government.
"Therefore, as the state head of a
100 per cent pure Americanism, such as
tlis knights of the Ku Klux Klan, I here
by offer you. as mayor of the city of Port
land, unconditionally, the full strength
of our organization in the state of Ore
gon to uphold and inferce any and all
lays j the city o, Portland, under your
authority.
"This organization, and myself as its
state head, would feel It an honor to in
any way assist you in the elimination of
the presevt I. W. W. influx.
"Hoping that you will see fit tc en
l.st the service of this 100 per cent
American organization."
Clubs to Be Fostered.
IMBLER. Or., Oct. 20. (Special.)
As soon as' the apple crop is har
vested the trustees of the local pub
lic schools plan to give encourage
ment to the i Boys' and Glrla' club
work throughout this vicinity. The
recent success of the Pig club or
ganization has convinced patrons
that the, work is feasible and profit
able. A Daird Herd Record-Keeping
club will be the first and later a
sewing club for the girls will be
effected. The school is planning on
putting in a Smith-Hughes course in
agriculture in due time.

committee of the I. W. W. at Chi
cago warning him that arresting
men merely because they happen
to belong to the wobbly organiza
tion is, in the committee's opinion,
unconstitutional. In answer to this
the mayor sent a terse message
over, apprising the committee of
what has been done already and
advising it, if it would avoid trouble
for its members, to caution them to
stay away from Portland.
Municipal Judge Ekwall, in a
statement last night, declared he
would continue to co-operate with
the city government in its efforts
to protect Portland's industries by
dealing summarily with every J, w.
W. brought into his court.
"They'll either stay away from
Portland," said the Judge, "or work
on the rockpile."
2000 I. W. XV. Ordered Here.
Corroborative information ob
tained by the mayor before the pres
ent campaign was instituted to the
effect that a call had been issued
for thousands of wobblies to come
to Portland and participate in the
activities ot waterfront strikers
was a statement made yesterday by
B. A. Green, attorney for the wob
biles here. The legal adviser of the
agitators admitted that it had come
to his knowledge 2000 I. W. W. had
been instructed to make their way
here.
illt the city forces the I. W. W.
to vork on the rockpile," said
Greert, "the taxpayers will have to
feed them this winter."
Mavor Baker answered this chal-
lens-o hv declarine that he would
see that the wobblies get plenty of
work.
'We can use a lot of crushed reck
on our roads," declared the mayor,
"and if the I. W. W. insist on com
ing here we'll give them all tne
rock-crushing they want."
In a lone statement prepared last
night the mayor recounted the his
tory of the oresent situation, ex
plaining his. reasons for taking
summary steps to protect industry.
Follow'ng Is the statement:
In order that the public of Portland
may have a full realization of the pur
pose of the present move against the
I. W. W. Invasion of Portland and in
order, that there may be a realisation of
the seriousness of the situation and the
necessity of general support of this cru
sade against an outrage on our com
munity, it is deemed expedient to advise
the public of existing conditions. '
Portland Declared Chosen.
The I. W. W. of the courury has se
lected Portland as a center for the be
ginning of trouble intended ultimately
to. assume the proportions of a revolu
tion. The purpose as explained in hand
bills distributed broadcast in Portland
Is summed up in these words from the
handbills: "Let us organize in the Trans
port Workers' union of the I. "W. V7. with
the object and purpose of taking pos
session of the means of transportation
and carrying it on for our own benefit."
For many months the L W. W. have
been organizing in Portland and have
been importing men for the purpose of
promoting trouble and have -now opened
the battle. In advance of this word
has gone out through I. W. W. publica
tions and the underground channels so
effectively used by the organization for
all wobblies, to move "on to Portland."
It is reported that a horde of 25,000 of
this type of men from throughout the
country has been ordered to the Pacific
coa&t.
This information has been authenti
cated and the obedience to these orders
has been seen in the influx, for more than
a week or more, of the box-car type of
tramps and hoboes in hundreds. In view
of this information and the fact that
there has been a definitely established
and inaugurated plan to flood Portland
with this type of undesirable citizens,
with a consequent reign of terror and
crime, this office has moved in and in
tends to resort to any means and tactics
that rnay be necessary to prevent the
disruption of this community. We have
the fu':l co-operation of all iaw-enforcing
agenclf s and the community is deter
mined on the subject.
- Situation Explained.
In qrder Uat the public may be fully
advised as to the part organized labor
is playing in the situation I will explain
what has happened in this connection.
In cpenlng the campaign against the
I. W. VV. I was not, with the idea of
interfering or taking sides in any legiti
mate strike for the purpose of bettering
working conditions or wages. This is a
Question in which the city is neutral
further than to maintain law and order
regardless of which side may Btart any
unlawful action. But when the indus
trial prosperity n the sufty of the com
munity becomes a factor it becomes the
public's business to interfere.
In launching this I. W. W. drive I
first called upon the heads of organized
labor in Portland and they verified my
information that the I. W. W. Is not
sponsored by or tolerated by organized
labor of the American Federation of
Labor. Therefore I took for granted that
the American Federation of Labor is not
behind thf present waterfront strike,
and I still believe this is a fact with
the majority of members if not with all
the officers. In a public statement is
sued by these officials since that inter
view and since the beginning of the fight
on the I. W. W. they repudiate these
claims and say that the International
Longshoremen's association, which is af
filiated with the American Federation of
Labor, is in favor of the strike and that
organized labor of Portland therefore is
behind the strike.
Longshoremen Are Involved.
As a matter of fact every banner on
the picket line, every handbill that has
been distrlbutedv every demand to ' the
employers and every, transaction that has
been in the open during this strike has
been signed plainly and fearlessly by
the Marine Transport Workers of the In
dustrial Workers of the World. The
Longshoremen's union has become in
volved In this strike purely because the
I. W. . Wi have gained a membership in
this organization and because these
i. w. w. members called a meeting and
voted for a strike while a majority of
the non-radical members were at work.
This was one of the I. W. W. tricks re
ferred to in a previous statement from
this office and the authenticity of this
statement was concurred in by the labor
leauers witn wnom I talked. . This strike
was callel as a part of the I. W. W.
Programme and not primarily in the in
terest of better wages or working con
ditions. I can onlv sav that if th AmA-4.
Federation of Labor has joined with the
x. n. w. ana intends to tolerate and en
courage the methods this A,niti..
plins for Portland, it is the beginning
of the end for the American Federation
of Labor and the beginning of the end
for a lot of things, because in the Amer
ican Federation of Labor I believe this
country nas its only hope for industrial
peace and nrnnnritv
If organized labor has joined with the
I. w. W. in the destructive programme
it advocates and if organized labor
tavuis j-oruana Deing swamped with all
the tramps, bums and oiitinv,D
the country, then I must be against or
ganized labor. Speaking as mayor of
the city of Portland I am determined
that as long as I am mayor I will not
tolerate this city being made the scene
of any such insult and assault as has
been concocted by the I. W W and
..I uuu oiganizauon is now attempt
ing to launch on this community in the
form of a reign of terror and the flood
ing of the city with vagrants and criminals-
SEVEX GET SO DAYS EACH
Men, Suspected of I. W. W. In
clinations, Are Sentenced.
Sevan men,- suspected of I. W. W.
inclinations, were given 30-day jail
sentences in the district court of
Judge. Deich yesterday, and three
others who made appearance at the
same time were permitted their
liberty. Sentences on the seven
whose stories did not satisfy the
judge were suspended on condition
that they "keep one step ahead of
officers of .the law in getting out

mitted being a member of the
I. W. W.
The men were part of the con
tingent of 27 taken from freight
trains Portland-bound during the
previous 24 hours by men of Sheriff
Hurlburt's force. Practically all of

Those ordered out of town under
suspended sentence gave the names
of John Nordman, John McElroy,
Joe Walker, Q. C. Hardy, George
Brenhan, John Hogan and Henry
Dersing.
Milton Nelson testified, when ar
raigned, that he had lived in Port
land four years ago and was re
turning to make this hia home. He
brought with him John Haines and
Nelson's statements brought die
missal for himself and his friend.
Chester Barlow, tenth member of
the "tourist party," testified that
he was a brick layer and, though
he had long been ill with lung
trouble, was coming to Portland
from Hermiston to find work If
possible. He had never been in any
sort of trouble he told the Judge.
He also was released.
Arrests of I. W. W. Protested.
NE3W YORK, Oct. 20. (Special.)
The following telegram was sent to
Mayor Baker, of Portland, today by
the American Civil Liberties union:
"Press reports that 360 men -were
arrested yesterday In Portland upon
your order on mere suspicion of
membership in Industrial Workers
of the World and in advance of any
criminal act on their part. We pro
test such arbitrary action on behalf
of traditional American -fair play
and civil rights. Surely it la the
right of anv citizen tn ha fro. f
arrest, until he. pomrnits ft crime.

RECOMMENDATIONS SLATED
TO BE MADE SOON.
Operating Department to Consider
Portland's, Application for
' Use of "502" Type.
' THE OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU,
Washington, D. C. Oct. 20. Port
land's application for the assign
ment of two passenger and . cargo
vessels of the 602 type to that port
is one of three propositions pending
before tne shipping board for the
use of these ships, it was said by
an official of the board today. The
operating department, it was fur
ther asserted, expects to. make a
recommendation withiJ .a short
time. . .....
One proposal, contemplates put
ting the ships into the Pacific coast-
east coast-South American trade,
using these two vessels and one
other and operating them between
three major- ports of the Pacfic.
The second proposal is the Port
land application. '
The third proposition is the appli
cation of the Admiral line for the
addition of these two vessels to the
combination passenger and cargo
ships nw operated by this line' and
to be utilized in the oriental trade.
Other advices during the last few
days have been to the effect the
shipping board has assigned one of
the "502" ships on the Pacific side.
the President Harrison, to the Los
Angeles Steamship company to re
place the liner City of Honolulu,
which caught fire at sea last week
and was sunk later by gunfire.
Frank L: Shull, of the Portland
Flouring Mills company and chair
man of the shipping committee of
the foreign trade bureau of the
Chamber of Commerce, said last
night that additional information
as to action of the government board
on the Portland application had not
been received, but that he was hope
ful Portland would gain "an im
proved service as requested.
The foreign trade bureau has gone
cn record in favor of the shipping
board's Pacific coast aftairs being
handled from one office instead -of
having more than one district as at
present. It is felt that the division
of responsibility resulted in lack of
co-orainatton In the past. The ap
plication of the Admiral line for the
"502" ships was news to most inter
ests here. However, Mr. Shull says
shippers are convinced the city is
entitled to improved facilities in
line with those, maintained from
other ports and that it Is felt the
shipping board will endeavor to pro
vide them.
