Telegram Sent Requesting Senator
and Representatives to Work
for Rescinding of Order
Against Portland.
, Rcpreentatives of the Portland com
mercial bodies took prompt steps yes
terday to retain the business of the De
partment of the Columbia, which,
advices from "Washington ay. will be
transferred to San Francisco after July
1. Indignant protests against giving
op the furnishing of supplies for the
Army department In this district were
voiced by the representatives of Port
land's commercial Interests and a tele
gram was sent urging the Oregon dele
gation in Washington to prevent the
threatened damage to Portland's busi
ness Interests. Upon the receipt of
advices from Senator Fulton and the
Oregon Congressmen, the commercial
bodies will take whatever steps seem
best to avoid the transfer of Army busi
ness to the Bay City.
The following telegram was ad-'
dresseed to Senator Fulton and Bourne
and Representatives Ellis and Hawley:
Reported her. that all supplle heretofore
purchased through local Quartermaster's
department will cea.e after July first and
such bualness then for Pacific Coast require
ments be supplied only through Quarter
maater's Department in San Frsncisco. On
behalf of combined commercial Interests of
Oregon, our delegation should protest
agalnet and prevent injustice of such ac
tion. Portland Is as wU. and in som. re
spects, better .quipped as any city on the
Coast to supply ail needs. Based on re
ports being authentic both public and news
papers feel that our Interests are not prop
erly safeguarded and Portland U being
sllghteO. please Investigate and wire facta
to Chamber of Commerce.
CHAMBER OP COMMERCE,
COMMERCIAL CU B.
BOARD OF TRADE,
MANUFACTURERS' ASSN.
J. N. Teal, attorney for the transporta
tion committee of the Chamber of Com
merce, presided at yesterday's meet
ing. W. B. Glafke, trustee of the same
organization, represented that body and
F. A. Spencer was present from the
Commercial Club, while F. E. Beach
represented the Board of Trade and R.
J. Holmes the Manufacturers' Associ
ation. There was a lively discussion of
the Issue and It was agreed that to al
low Portland's Army business to be
diverted to San Francisco would be a
calamity.
The Intention of the authorities to
make the change was condemned and
the guardians of Portland's commercial
Interests present could not find any
valid excuse for the change In the.
place of purchasing supplies.
L. A. Lewis, a member of the trans
portation committee of the Chamber of
Commerce, learned last June of a move
ment being on foot to combine the
Portland and Seattle offices of the
Quartermaster's department and word
was sent to J. N. Teal, attorney for tha
committee, who was then at Washing
ton engaged in the trial of a case. Mr.
Teal took the matter up with the au
thorities at Washington, even going to
Secretary Taft In the effort to head off
any such movement. He was assured
at that time that no change was con
templated or would be made.
The announcement Just received from
Washington that purchases will not be
made here after July 1 caused wide
spread Interest In Portland yesterday
and President Swigert. of the Chamber
of Commerce, took action to get an ex
pression from all the commercial or
ganizations. He called the meeting of
delegates from each body for yesterday
afternoon. The men participating In
yesterday's meeting will gather later
when replies are received from the Ore
gon delegation at Washington, and it
Is expected that the commercial bodies
VIU memorialize the War Department.
