Protests against the reinstatement of Jrtoscoe A'rbuckle continued to accumulate here today. Official disapproval of the recent order of Will H. Hays, titular head of the motion-picture industry, re storing to the plump comedian' his right to work in the pictures, was expressed by Mayor Cryer in a tele gram to Mr. Hays, asking him to reconsider his decision, and declar ing that exhibition of Arbuckle pic tures here "would have a direct tendency to contribute to the de linquency of the youth of this city." This view was supported In a resolution adopted by the California Teachers' association, southern sec tion, in convention here today, commending Mayor Cryer and vari ous local organizations which have already announced their opposition to Arbuckle's return. Passed In the midst of vigorous applause, the res olution declared "that we commend the attitude of the mayor and vari ous organizations of the city in their stand opposing the reinstate ment of Roscoe Arbuckle as a fit subject for motion-picture exhibi tion," and closed with an appeal to Mr. Hays to "reverse his position in this matter and immediately re peal his order of reinstatement." Approbation of the mayor's action also was expressed by a delegation of club women, headed by Mrs. A. A. Hummel, chairman of the motion-picture department of the Cali fornia Federated Women's clubs, and Mrs. J. C. Urquhart, president of the southern California district of the federation, who called at the city hall and received Mayor Cryer's assurance that he would use all his power and influence to prevent the showing of Arbuckle films in Los Angeles. FATTY FROWNED ON HERE Portland Women's Clubs Would Boycott His Films.

A protest against the show ing of any films in Portland In which Arbuckle has acted, either before or after the Virginia Rappe episode, has been made by the club. A resolution to that effect was passed at the regular meeting of the organiaztion yesterday. Mrs. Charles PI. Runyon, president of the local club, said yesterday that she felt other organizations in Portland would adopt a similar attitude. Two members of the club whose names were withheld refused to vote for the resolution yesterday and were asked to explain their rea sons. Both of the dissenting mem bers argued that his acquittal for the crime of which he had been accused should be sufficient reason for his being considered innocent, and that he should be given an op portunity to again make good as a movie actor. "A dignified boycott of the Ar buckle pictures is all that we con template," said Mrs. Runyon last right.
