1G THE MORNING ORECONIAN, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1922 ORIENTAL CARGOES 61 ON INCREASE November Trade Expected . to Be Unusually Heavy. MANY CHARTERS FIXED Tonnage to Be Loaded by First of Year Promises to Round Out Exceptional Period. Leading the November oriental fleet the Norwegian steamer Erie departed last night for Yokohama, Osaka and Kobe, Portland cargo being about 1,600,000 feet of lum ber, and tonnage to be loaded by January 1 for the far east promises to mako the closing of 1922 about the raort active period of the year in that trade. The Columbia Pacific Shipping company has a schedule that calls for seven carriers to be loaded in November and December; Mitsui & Co., four; the Yamashita company, three; the Java-Pacific line, two, and Suzuki & Co., two, while A. M. 'lillespie, Inc., will have one this month, and other vessels making single voyages will load whole or part cargoes here. Other Clearings Scht-duled. The West Kader leaves Saturday with a full load and two others fol low here this month the Pawlet. November 15, and the West Cayote, November 25 while the West O'Rowa, due this week from the far east, will be turned around by December 1; the Hannawa, December 15; the Wawalona, December 20, and the West Keats, December SI. The Pawlet was berthed at Kerr Gifford & Co.'s Albina dock yesterday to start her cargo, having been as signed for service from the idle list recently, and the West Cayote moves to the drydock from the St. Johns mocrings this morning to be lifted tomorrow so a new tailshaft may be installed. The Wawalona will come out of the yard shortly for gem ral overhauling and the others on the -schedule are already in the trade. Conference Influence Forecast. The outcome of the San Francisco meeting of the trans-Pacific west bound rate conference may lend more influence to the movement of freight to all ports.-, though it ap parently was the opinion of steam ship operators before the session convened Monday that there would be little changing of the tariff. A nominal reduction in lumber freights the last of the week may add to the volume in a measure. There is hope among exporters and operators of various lines that fu ture business will hold steady with prospects that there will be a gain in Japanese buying early in the year. IIATT1I-; IU( KMSAC il SOLD Steamer. Aeqriiv.-ii i:j i;iivia & JHuz Interests, (o lie Kenunieil. Sale of the steamer Hattie Duck enbach to James V. Ourge of New York, representing the Garcia & Diaz interests, is reported from New York. She will be renamed the Primero. The purchasers previously acquired the steamer Pleiades from the Luckenbachs and she will sail in the future under the name of the Segundo. Her first voyage un der the new control will be with a sugar cargo from Chapparra, Cuba, and New York. The two ships are well known at Portland and figured in the Pa cific trafte long before tliey were brought into the present Lucken bach service. The Hattie Lucken bach was formerly the I.vra and was build in 1901 at Sparrows Point. Md., and the Pleiades at the same place the year before. The steamer Eastern Trader, purchased by the Luckenbachs from the. shipping board, has been renamed the Horace l.uckenhach and leaves Mobile for Portland November 20. 1'KOTEST IS NOT AXsWEIUSI) Action Waits on Federal Compe tition With Private Lines. Eastern advices state that a pro test lodged with the shipping board recently by the American Steam ship Owners' association against a continuation of competition between government vessels and privately controlled ships in the intercoastal trade was yet in the hand3 of Com missioner Chamberlain, Oregon's member on the shipping board, and that its status had not been deter' mined. However, it had been re ported that the assignment of ves sels to the Nawsco line would be continued. The protest was admittedly based largely on the Nawsco line alloca tions as originally made, the pro testants referring to the arrange ment as unwarranted competition with private lines. The difference was first officially aired at a meet ing of steamship interests with Chairman Lasker of the board after the present rate war was started in June. 41 VESSELS TAKE LUMBER 5;;. 511, 000 Feet Leave Kiver for World Ports in Month. ASTORIA, Or., Nov. 1. (Special.) Lumber shipments by water from the lower Columbia river district for October held up to the average, but from the. upper river section they showed a decrease. In the month 41 vessels loaded at the lower river mills and their com bined cargoes were 36,104,200 feet of lumber. Twenty-eight vessels laden with 25,699,786 feet went to California; seven vessels carrying 7.980.414 feet are en route to foreign ports, while three vessels with 2.514.000 feet on board sailed for the Atlantic seaboard. In the same period 17,336.800 feet of lumber were loaded on vessels at the up-river mills, making a grand total of 53,541,000 feet of lumber which left the Columbia river in cargoes during the 30 days ending last night. CAPTAIN DALBY TRIAL SET Pilot of Santa Clara, -Which Sank Dredge, to Be Up Monday. Having concluded an investiga tion of the Pacific Mail line steamer Santa Clara, which collided with and sank the- Port of Portland dredge Portland shortly after midnight on October 14, resulting in the drown ing of three of the dredge's crew. United States Steamvessel Inspectors Edwards and Wynn have fixed, 9 o'clock Monday morning for the trial of Captain S. S. Dalby, who was pilot aboard the Santa Clara. The dredge, which was partly raised Tuesday, was moved from the east channel at Swan island yesterday to the Bridgeport dock, on the west side of the river, where she was allowed to rest on a shoal, and will be straightened up today and raised higher to permit a com plete survey being made. Whether rehabilitation or dismantling is de- t termmed the work will be done at the drydock plant. TRUNK ROAD APPROVED MOUNT HOOD-ROSS ISLAND BRIDGE ROUTE PLANNED. Lighthouse Repairs Assured. Replacement of piling and gen eral repairs to the substructure of, the lighthouse at the mouth of the" Willamette river, which was dam aged during the spring freshet and the light discontinued because of weakened condition of the struc ture, is provided for in a contract awarded to the Jacobson Construc tion company yesterday. It is in tended to replace equipment . and furnishings at the station and re light it shortly. There has been some discussion as to changing the location of the lighthouse and should that be decided on a more substantial structure would un doubtedly be erected. Joseph Dollar at Astoria. Arrival of the bark Joseph Dollar at Astoria yesterday from Kobe in ballast added another carrier to the fleet of idle sailers in the river. It is understood that her owners plan to have the vessel remain in the lower harbor until an engagement is negotiated. The vessel was for merly the Schurbek and is of 2266 tons net register. Her last voyage was from Grays Harbor, where she got to sea with a lumber cargo June 23. The bark reached Kobe August 27 and left there for Astoria September 29. Marine Notes. Th? schooner Oregon Pine has started loaflinff lumber at the Peninsula mill for Sydney. The Oregon Fir began her cargo for the same destination yesterday at W'estport. The German bark Harald is unloading the last of her ballast at Linnton and is expected to start lining in a day or two. preparatory to loading wheat for Europe. Sho is the only windjammer taken so far for grain loading here. The motorship Californian of the American-Hawaiian Kuropean service started working about 20O0 tcwis of wheat at the Globe mill yesterday. The dredge Tualatin of the Port of Portland floating plant pumped ashore 6-",00 cubic yards of material at the new plant of the Long-Bell Lumber com pany at Kelso during October, according to a check made on her operation by the port officials. The best day's run was 39.0SO yards a week ago today. The British steamer Benarty. at pres ent in the orient, has been added to the en route list of grain carriers at the .Merchants' Exchange. The Japanese steamer Washington Maru is reported to have left Kobe for this side Friday to load wheat. Suzuki & Co., of which fleet she is a member, have ordered her to Vancouver, B. C and her cargo is for Europe. In all eight of the Suzuki fleet have been fixed to load cereal cargoes at the British Columbia port during No vember and December. The steamer Ernest H. Meyer, in yes terday with general cargo from "San Francisco in the service of the McCot mick line, discharged and left last night for Grays Harbor to load lumber for San Pedro. The British steamer Bermuda, loading for Chinese ports, which moved from the Portland Flouring JIllls company's plant to terminal No. 4 yesterday, proceeds to Montgomery dock today. It is orohtihle she will sail in about a week. The British steamer Baron Cawdor hlfted from Mersey to Irvine dock last night to work the last of her cereal cargo for the United Kingdom. Ihe steamer Iowa of the French lltie sailed early yesterday on her way back to Europe. C H. George of San Francisco, dis trict controller of the shipping board, is in the city. The steamer Rider Hanify arrived yes-' terday from San Francisco and proceeded 'o Vancouver, Wash., to start her lumber : load for the return voyage. The steamer rank D. Stout., -which loaded a n,t cargo at the Eastern and Western mill tor San Francisco, moved yesterday to Columbia City to finish. The steamer Steel Engineer of the Isthmian fleet left San Francisco yes terday morning for Portland and among her cargo are 8(m tons of tinpJate. She will proceed to Pueet sound and returns,1 to load for the United Kingdom. The steamer Admiral Farragut. sailing yesu-rday for San Francisco, San Pedro and San Diego, curried a full list of cabin passengers and ;j others in the steerage. She a... had a large cargo..

' Clackamas County Court Orders Inclusion of Old Cutofr in Market Highway Scheme. OREGON CITY. On, Now. 1. (Special.) Inclusion of the "devil's cutoff," which will provide prac tically a straight route from Mount Hood to the proposed Ross-island bridge under the Clackamas co-.rnty market road programme was ord ered by the county court today. The road, which lies in the Damascus and Boring country, will shorten the distance from Portland to Mount Hood by between five and six miles. Its name will be changed to the Mount Hood cutoff. " The road starts with the Foster road, a quarter of a mile from the county line, and intersects the Boring-Damascus market road one mile west of Boring. With the decision of the court to grant the improve ment of the road, threats of with drawing from Clackamas county and attempting to join Multnomah county are believed ended in, that district. Considerable dissension over the failure of the court to grant the improvement, despite numerous petitions, had grown irp during the last year. Aid in getting financial assist ance from Multnomah county has been pledged by the Lents and Brooklyn business men's associa tions and by the Mount Scott Im provement club. The Union Home district, which the road serves, was represented in the petition to the court by "William Taylor, K. Heck ling and Walter Ramser. .Work will be started immediate ly on vhe clearing and grading of the new project. The road follows for its major portion the old "devil's cutoff!" which was one of the first roads ever improved in the county and among the initial macadam, im provements in the western part of the state. CARGO CONGESTION LESS Lower Level of Shed En it at Ter minal No. 1 Is Used. Using the lower level of the orig inal shed unit at terminal No. 1, which has been available principally for freight moved by river steamers in the past, for the accommodation of intercoastal cargo is said by dock commission representatives to be serving to relieve crowded conditions-there this week. The Lucken baeh line is the first to discharge shipments on the lower level, and so long as the river is at the present stage the change is regarded practi cable. The steamers- F. J. Luckehbach and Florence Luckenbach worked at the terminal yesterday. Theformer will probably sail early today and the latter before night. Cargo they "lift" for the return to the Atlantic side will serve to leave more space on both units. For a time the rush of intercoastal business there has been unprecedented. DOCK WORKERS INCREASED More Than 800 Men Now Em ployed in Handling Cargoes. Listing of 803 men on the payrolls yesterday, for handling cargo for 23 vessels, was reported by H. S. Eaton, manager of the Waterfront Em ployers' union, as the peak day since the present stride began nearly three weeks ago. Save the unusual conditions the last of September, due to speed demanded in loading wheat ships, yesterday was the busiest day since the spring period. Registra tions at the neutral hall at the close of the day had reached 1126. ' Of the longshoremen on strike there were more to join the picket ing squads, especially at terminal No. 1 where a number were on hand when the gangs left the dock late in. the afternoon. The men out say they are prepared to maintain the strike for a long period and with the employers exhibiting an un changed front, there is no indication of a rift in the situation. ::4S A. 1 J :lt I Tides at Astoria Today.

" The shortage of cars Is having a seri ous effect on the receipts of wheat at the loeii terminals. While from ten to 35 carloads of grain are arriving daily from the producing sections, the bulk of the cars are flats and gondolas with only an occasional boxcar. As a result the ancst of the wheat arriving is sacked, with only from one to three cars of bulk grain coming each day from Montana. The receipts - are expected to Increase materially as soon as the temporary shortage of cars is eliminated. The export demand for flour is grad ual. y picking up and the indications for the future ;n aniprntnt to the orient and Europe are the most encouraging they havi been for some time. At present the Astoria Flouring Mills company is working on an order for the orient, between 2500 and 3000 tons of which will be, shipped this month. The company is also getting out several smaller shipments for European coun tries where the demand for Pacific coast flour is growing, owing to the im provement in the financial situation the it. , t COOS BAY, Or., Nov. 1.

Local No. 38-6,by referendum vote, 215 to 200, declined to join the I. W. W. in a waterfront strike. The Neutral Hall Managing Committee, due to conditions set forth in our yesterday's announcement (No. 2), decided that a definite policy of employment was now absolutely necessary, both to increase and have available an efficient force of longshoremen for waterfront employment and to prevent the trouble which certain members of the I. L. A. and the I. W. W. were by that time making no attempt to conceal their united efforts to create. The Managing Committee of the Neutral Hall, consisting of Mr. Her man Larsen (Union), Mr. Jack O'Neil (non-union) and Mr. H. S. Eaton (Employers') adopted the following rules, effective October 5th, 1922. Messrs. O'Neil and Eaton voted for the rules. Mr.' Larsen was present and discussed them fully but did not vote either for or against them. Neutral Hall Rules and Regulations Governing Employment EFFECTIVE OCTOBER 5, 1922 During the past three months a small group of professional agitators of the radical type have been persistently attempting to stir up trouble and bring about a strike on the Portland waterfront with the idea of gaining control of all longshore work for their own selfish purposes. Such of these men as were working out of the hall were eliminated, but they and others who have not been working here are con tinuing, on the outside, their attempts to create dissatisfaction and trouble among the men who are working. Most of these trouble-makers are members of the I. V. W. and a few are members of the I. L. A. They conspired among themselves to call a joint strike of the I. W. W. and I. L. A., but failed. The I. W. W. had voted to strike but their leaders decided not to do so unless the I. L. A. would strike with them. By referendum vote the I. L. A. has refused to join in an I. W. W. strike, and decided to continue at work. The waterfront employers have watched all of this conspiring and plotting for three months, having decided to give thoAnen ample time to make up their own minds whether they wanted to strike or continue at work, and now that they have decided that question the agitators, trouble-makers and men who do not want to work must get out and make room for men who do want to work, who can work and who are capable of handling their own affairs. The basis of employment on this waterfront is efficiency and citizenship. AH com petent longshoremen who have been working on the Portland waterfront, and who will show that they wish to co-operate in bringing about a condition of peace and harmony, will continue to work, but those who prefer strife, ill will and industrial warfare will no longer be tolerated. Every man working out of this hall is entitled to, and will receive, fair treatment. Every man is urged to bring to the immediate attention of the managing committee any just grievance or complaint of unfair treatment, with-the positive assurance that his grievance will be promptly investigated and any injustice corrected. EFFECTIVE OCTOBER 5, THE FOLLOWING RULES ARE ESTABLISHED AND WILL BE ENFORCED: 1. No man known to be a member of the I. W. W. will be allowed to work out of this hall. 2. Any man found agitating or attempting to create trouble will be immediately eliminated. 3. Any man found in the hall or at work in an intoxicated condition wilf be suspended for 10 days, and upon a second offense will be refused further work. 4. Any man who quits a job (except in case of sickr.ess) without securing authority from the hall will be suspended for 10 days, and upon a second offense will be refused further work. 5. The dispatchers are held entirely responsible, and have full authority, for dis patching men to work, subject only to instructions from the managing committee as a whole, and dispatchers' orders must be carried out. Every man in the hall is presumed to be looking for work, and any man selected for work by dispatchers who refuses to go to work, without good and sufficient reasons, will be suspended for 10 days, and upon second offense will be refused further work. ' 6. Stevedores' bosses are responsible for the safe and efficient conduct of the work, and have the right to direct and supervise the work, to place the shift men on1 the ship or dock, and to discharge men for incompetency, negligence or refusal to follow orders, with the understanding that there is to be no discrimination between union and non-union men, and that all men are entitled to decent treatment. 7. In order that the number of men available for work may be definitely known, and their families notified in cases of accident, all men desiring to work out of this hall must register with the dispatchers by Thursday, October 12. Applications received after that date will be passed upon by the managing committee. All competent longshoremen are eligible, excepting members of the I. W. W. Men who register with and are passed by the union dispatchers will be considered as union men and men who register with and are passed by the non-union dispatchers will be considered as non union men in the division of the work. 8. Complaints and grievances should be reported immediately to the managing committee for investigation and adjustment. 9. The application of these rules shall always be subject to appeal to the man aging committee by any man and in any case. 10. The ' managing committee maintains the privilege of meeting with any individual, committee or group of individuals working out of this hall (whether union or non-union) at any time and on any question of mutual interest. MANAGING COMMITTEE, NEUTRAL HALL. Rule 1 was adopted by the Neutral Hall Managing Committee to prevent further trouble being caused by the I. W. W. on the waterfront. Certain members of the I. L. A., Local No. 38-6, joined the M. T. V., No. 510, of the I. W:. W., prior to the water-front strike last spring and at that time worked out of the I. L. A. hall.- About the middle of September the M. T. W.. No. 510, of the I. W. W., voted to call a strike on the Portland waterfront, but made no demands on the employers and postponed the calling of their strike until they were able to induce the I. L. A., Local No. 38-6 to join with them. Those men have no place on the Portland waterfront. It would be impossible for the Waterfront Employers' Union of Portland or any other employers of labor to make a; settlement with them that would be sane or lasting. Rules 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 are self-explanatory and need ho further comment. Rule 7 has been referred to by certain members of the I. L. A., Local No. 38-6, as being un-American, intolerable and obnoxious and has been given as the principal reason 'for calling the present strike. The adoption of this rule is in strict con formity with the basis of settlement of June 22d, published in our first announce ment. It is stated therein that the "basis of employment of union and non-union labor shall be that of efficiency and good citizenship." It is not unreasonable for employers to ascertain certain information from men applying to them for work or employed by them. We consider the information desired by us is of the same impor tance to the welfare of the longshoremen themselves as to the employers. The registration card in use at the Neutral Hall reads as follows: EMPLOYMENT INFORMATION Name Address LONGSHORE QUALIFICATIONS How long have you worked as a Long shoreman? Special Skill (Mark "Yes" only where you rfe well qualified) Walking Boss Hatch Boss Double Winch Driver Single Wrinch Driver.. i Friction Winch Driver Donkey Driver Burton Man Rigger ' Boom Man Sling Man - Hold Man Lumber" Handler Wheat' Packer General Cargo Ship Liner Registration Number Telephone .- PERSOXAL QUALIFICATIONS Place of Birth Age Weight Height Married or Single Number of Dependents Citizenship (Mark one) Native Naturalized Has First Papers When did you secure first papers?

Address Telephone ; On the reverse side of this card is a space provided for the recording of the dif ferent jobs to which the registrant is assigned from time to time. Rules 8, 9 and 10 are clear in their intention to provide ways and means for any men working out of the Neutral Hall to bring before the Hall Managing Committee complaints and grievances which they may have concerning any matters whatsoever coming under the jurisdiction of the Neutral Hall or the Waterfront Employers' Union of Portland. Tomorrow we will discuss the manner in which the present strike was called on October 13th. WATERFRONT EMPLOYERS' UNION OF PORTLAND. No. 3. November 1st. , I
