23, THE MORNING OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, NOVE3IBER 1, 1923 PHONE CORPORATION SEEKS INJUNCTION New Rates Order Is Said to Reduce Revenues. FOUR REQUESTS MADE Federal Court Asked to Declare New Tariff Null and Void and Itcstrain Commission. An injunction against the order ot the public service commission reducing telephone rates, effective December 1, 1922, was sought in the United States district court yes terday in a complaint filed by the Pacific Telephone & Telegraph company. The complaint declares the order of the commission, if en forced, will result in a reduction of revenues to the company amount ing to $200,000. R. S. Bean, federal judge, is pe titioned to grant four requests, as. follows: That the court declare the order issued Monday reducing rates null and void; that the commission be restrained from enforcing the order; that the commission be re strained from any action against the plaintiff if it fails to comply with the provisions of the new order; that the plaintiff be entitled to any other relief found just and equitable on the trial of the issue 1'oliticstl Expediency Charged. The telephone company charges in its suit that the reduction order of the public service commission was merely a political expedient. It further states that the attempted reduction is confiscatory and that the returns to the telephone com pany under present rates are in adequate. It is declared in the complaint that 49,000 subscribers to telephone service in Oregon are affected by the order and that these will, it the order stands, seek to collect payments under the present rate in excess of the difference that i caused by the reduction. The public service commissioners will have 20 days in which to make answer to the allegations contained in the injunction suit. That the commissioners will wel come this opportunity is evidenced by the attitude of engineers and ac countants, who compiled the data upon which the rate reduction w ordered. Corporation' Charges Hefnted. In the first place these employes declare that the new order does not affect . 49,000 subscribers as stated by the telephone company, but only 20,600. Only four-party and ten-party lines were affected by the order, is the contention, and the total number of four-party line subscribers in Oregon is only 18,800. The total of ten-party line service is 1800. Asked why the commission had not included two-party lines in the reduction order, an engineer of the regulatory body said it was feared if the order were made too sweep ing it would reduce the company's might be able to make a claim of confiscation that would stand. "We had to go slow," said this official, "but we will have plenty of time to make further reductions If a complete investigation now under way shall justify such. By making the cut rate for four-party line service we provide an induce ment for the top-heavy two-party line service to be changed over. mere are 26,000 two-party lines in Portland at present. This Is more than the combined four and ten-party line services in the whole state. Prraent System Held Antiqnatrd. "We believe that the rate reduc tion ordered will be found equit able" and that the order to abolish code ringing service and establish selective service also will be found reasonable and valid by the court. Selective service costs a little more, but it is so great an improvement that it must redound in the long run to the benefit of the company, as well as patrons, in that it will result In more patronage and corre sponding increases in revenue. "By selective service is meant that a subscriber on a four or ten party line may be signaled without any other patron on that line being disturbed, as is the case under the present antiquated code ringing system." $625,000 IS PLEDGED Willamette Endowment Campaign Passes Half-Way Mark. , , WILLAMETTE UNIVERSITY, Sa lem, Or., Oct. 31.

Woodburn grange No. 79, at its last meeting, adopted unan imously a resolution opposing the financing of a 1927 world's fair in Portland by a real property tax, and declaring that the exposition should be financed by the organization of a stock company with voluntary subscriptions.

FURNITURE TRADE LSI TACOMA'S INDUSTRY SHOWS STEADY INCREASE. Expansion Brings Puget Centei Into Forefront of Pacific Coast Manufacturers. TACOMA, Wash., Oct. 31. (Spe cial.) The growth and expansion of Tacoma as a furniture manufactur ing city and its position of leader ship among the cities of the coast in this industry are shown in the report of wholesale trade conditions in the 12th federal reserve district, issue October 20 by John Perrin, chairman of the board and federal reserve agent of the federal re serve bank of San Francisco. The report shows that in net sales during September, 3 922, as compared with September, 1921, Tacoma's fur niture factories made a gain of 16 per cent. The large increase shown by the Tacoma factories in net sales be cause of the much lower prices in effect now than those prevailing a year ago indicates a still greater increase in volume over the same month one year ago than the per centage indicating the increase in the value of sales. A still more notable showing is that made by Tacoma for the first nine months of the present year compared with the same period of 1921. The report shows an increase in net sales for the entire district of 7.3 per cent. San Francisco facto ries show an increase of 3.9 per cent, and Portland firms an in crease of 9.2 per cent, while Tacoma's furniture factories report a gain for the same period of 24.7 per cent. Los Angeles factories ex perienced a loss of .9 per cent. Tacoma's furniture factories num ber well over a dozen, several of which are among the largest in the west. The products of Tacoma's fur niture factories are distributed over the entire area west of the Rocky mountains and to the Hawaian islands and Alaska, and have every where established for themslves a reputation for quality.

BURGLARS ENTER BANK Safe at Cove Resists Effort on Part of Yeggmen. LA GRANDE, Or., Oct. 31. (Spe cial.) An attempt to rob the Cove State bank last night failed through the inability of the robbers to open the safe.

OLD-TIMERS ARE ANGRY Candidate's Declaration In Favor of Measure Causes Open Desertions From Ranks. There is no light-hearted merri ment in the camp of Walter M. Pierce, democratic candidate for gov ernor, these days. The democrats are about as joyful as mourners and make no attempts at concealment. The fly in the ointment is the school bill. It Is no. secret that the old-time democrats were chagrined when Pierce issued a statement that he was for the bill, but they tried to put the best face on the matter. As the Pierce commitment to the school bill became generally known there were open desertions from the dem ocratic ranks until it is now esti mated that about 30 per cent of the democratic vote is "off" of Pierce because he tied the school measure into his campaign. t , Pierce Does Own Campaigning. It was largely because of the un sympathetic attitude of the old-line democrats that Pierce has had to do his own campaigning. None "Of the spellbinders of democracy -cared to go on the stump and advocate him, for these, in the main, are opposed to the school measure. As though the situation was not sufficiently awkward, along came most of the democratic candidates for the legislature in Multnomah county and began taking raps at the school bill, denouncing It without measure. Democratic legislative nominees have held a number of conferences on this subject and they have agreed to make it their main issue and base their campaign for votes by displaying their opposition to the bill. The condition now pre sented is the democratic candidate for governor saying he will vote for the school bill and the democratic legislative ticket, with few excep tions, fighting it. Pierce Stand Denounced. On the heels of the gubernatorial candidate and the legislative ticket pulling in opposite directions, along comes Mr. Pierce's principal finan cial supporter and in display adver tising in the press of the state he virtually informs Pierce that honor, patriotism and freedom demand that Pierce vote against the bill Instead of for it; that the measure is hostile to true Americanism and that the measure is an appeal to religious and racial intolerance. This denouncement of the stand of Mr. Pierce by his chief contributor came as a jolt to the Pierce man agers, who had been trying to forget Pierce's position on ..the. Dili, iney simply do not want to discuss, in public, this latest blow at the Pierce campaign. Bill Not Featured In Talks. Nor is that all. Mr. Pierce pledged himself to the school bill to prevent Charles Hall from being an inde pendent candidate. Mr. Hall with drew and the forces back of the bill expected Pierce to feature it in his speeches. This he has not done. There is a report that Pierce's brother Charles has visited minis ters in Pendleton and told them that the candidate is not really in favor of the school bill, and that he only gave the pledge as a polit ical expediency. This report is spreading among the followers of the yellow ticket and Pierce's sin cerity is being questioned. In short, there is a suspicion among some of the yellow ticket people that Pierce is double-crossing them. With a disaffected democratic party, marked by desertions because of his pledge, and on the other hand suspicion that he does not intend keeping that pledge, the Pierce campaign is growing more doleful daily. ARMISTICE DAY NAMED Governor Hart Sets Aside No' vember 11 as Holiday. OLTMPIA, Wash., Oct. 31. (Spe cial.) In a proclamation setting apart November 11 as a legal holi day in observance of Armistice and Admission day, Governor Hart to day called upon the people of the state on that day to refrain from business and celebrate the cessation of warfare, the date being that upon which in 18S9 the territory of Washington became a state.

John Laine Picked Up by Troller After Own Vessel Has Been Destroyed. ASTORIA, Or., Oct. 31. (Special.) John Laine, a Columbia river troller, had a thrilling experience a couple of clays ago when his trolling launch, the Echo, was burned at sea. Laine fishes alone, and was trolling about eight miles at sea off the mouth of the Columbia river. While busy with his lines he started to make coffee on an oil stove In the cabin at the bow of the boat. On going to the cabin a few mo ments later he found the stove had exploded and the interior of the cabin was afire. , Laine, who" has a crippled right arm, managed to haul the flaming mattress from the cabin and throw it overboard, closed the engine room doors and then he Jumped into his skiff, whence he endeavored to check the fire wilh an - extin guisher. He could mike little head way, and the craft, after burning to the water's edge, went down. In the meantime Henry Pakanen, an other troller, saw the fire and picked Laine up and brought him to Astoria. Mr. Laine said - his launch cost $5500 and was partially covered by insurance. The man has had a series of mis fortunes during the past few years. About three years ago a gasoline explosion occurred on board his craft and his face was so badly burned that he was laid up for some time. Last season his craft was prac tically swamped near the mouth of the river and he barely escaped with his life. August 21, last, while starting his engine, his right, arm was broken In five places and is in such a con dition that he must now go to the hospital to have the arm rebroken and properly set before he can have the proper use of it.

RATE RISE THREATENED City Commissioners Urge Voters to Approve Measure to Guard Against Certain Advance. Figures on the possible increase of fire insurance rates in Portland, in the event that the fire bureau service is reduced through failure of the voters to approve the spe cial 3-mill tax, were given out yes terday by City Commissioner Pier, in charge of the finance department. "A conservative estimate of the total fire insurance premiums paid in Portland each year is $1,50(LOOO." said Mr. Pier. "As a matter of fact this estimate was made by Harvey Wells, ex-insurance com missioner, and really is based on premiums paid in 1915. We know that the premiums are much greater. Premiums Increase $450,000. "But using these figures as a basis, a 30 per cent increase in such rates would compel the policy holders to pay $450,000 a year ad ditional premiums if the 3-mill tax is defeated. This is one single item where more than one-half of the amount of the entire tax is covered." Mr. Pier explained that his fig ures on this matter relate to the statement made by James N. Mc Cune, manager of the Oregqn in surance rating" bureau, who de clared that any reduction iin the fire protection afforded by the city would be followed by an immediate increase in insurance rates of from 25 to 30 per cent.

"Members of the council realize what defeat of this measure will mean," said Commissioner Mann, "and for that reason are doing everything possible to explain the measure to the voters. Many per sons do not realize that this is not a new "tax, nor an additional bur den, but twice before has been au thorized and is resubmitted at this time to overcome a legal objec tion." City Manager Opposed. jj LA GRANDE, Or., Oct. 31 (Spe cial.) The race for city commis sioner has developed an issue in the person of the present city man ager, O. A. Kratz. C. J.
