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.

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.

total of 53,541,000 feet of lumber
which left the Columbia river in
cargoes during the 30 days ending

substantial structure would un
doubtedly be erected.

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.

loeii terminals. While from ten to 35
carloads of grain are arriving daily from
the producing sections, the bulk of the

To Waterfront Employes and toe Public
On September 30th, 1922, the I. L. A. 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.
