2 THE SUNDAY OREGONIAX, PORTLAND, JULY 15, 1917. BISBEE CENSORSHIP GLASSED CRIMINAL Assistant Attorney - General l Declares Case Should Be Brought Into Courts. ARBITRARY RULE ADMITTED II. II. Stout, Smelter Superintendent, bay a Violence Would Hate Been Vsed if Necessary to Stifle , I. V. V. Deportation Kens. PHOEXIX, Ariz., July 14. Assistant Attorney-Oeneral Whitney said today the matter ot the censorship at Bisbee is one to be bandied in the criminal court. He said he expected the Attor-ney-i.ienera.1 to take action in the mat ter of the censorship as well as other occurrences at Bisbee. DOUGLAS, Ariz., July 14. It became known today that the leaders of the armed citizens who had charge of the deportation of 1200 striking copper min ers and their sympathizers from Bis bee would have resorted to violence to enforce censorship if correspondents had forced through their dispatches concerning deportations after Robert Itae, general auditor of the Phelps Dodge Corporation and H. H. Stout, smelter superintendent for the corpor ation, issued their censorship orders to the local manager of the Western Union Telegraph Company. This was the statement of H. H. Stout, who di rected the censorship aa well as prep arations in Douglas for the Bisbee de portations. Mr. Stout, after the censorship was exposed as an arbitrary civilian affair, aid that if the correspondent had forced through his dispatches during the censorship, which extended from 6 o'clock Thursday morning until 4 that afternoon, he "would have been taken off within five minutes, knocked in the head or otherwise restricted" from getting news of the proceedings. The Western Union manager would have been similarly dealt with if he had violated the censorship orders, ac cording to Mr. Stout. Mr. Stout and Mr. Rae Thursday nigltt, after the character of their cen sorship became known and it was es tablished that the military authorities liad had nothing to do with it, said they had received orders for the cen sorship from "the Sheriff's office," but Sheriff Wheeler says he issued no such order and that none of his deputies had authority to do so.

EXPRESS DRIVERS OUT MEN DEMAND RECOGNITION OK NEWLY ORGANIZED UNION. Companies Declare No Compromise, nd Place Embargo 01 Perit li able Fruits. SEATTLE, Wash., July 14. (Special.) Officials of the express companies today admitted that they were serious ly handicapped in delivery- owing- to the strike of the wagon drivers since Wednesday, but claimea that they had no intention of yielding. The chief contention of the employes, it was stated, was for recognition of their newly organized union. Express offi cials claim that it is history that they do not abandon an industrial fight or compromise once the men have gone out. Between 40 and 50 men are in volved in the strike. The greatest dif ficulty experienced by the companies is in. delivering perishable commodi ties. Embargoes were placed against .receiving fruits and produce consigned to Seattle at Wenatchee and Yakima for three days of this week owing to inability to make delivery here. Among the articles enumerated in the embargo were cherries and berries, which, if ex posed to hot temperature for any length of time, are practically worthless as food, and damage claims accumulate rapidly against the carriers. Assurances given by wholesale deal ers that they would guarantee their own delivery from the station plat forms caused a modification of the em bargo to such dealers only, and Western-avenue business men acted as driv ers of their own trucks and wagons for two days of last week. Fearing that the strike would continue, whole salers in foodstuffs agreed upon a pro gramme of pooling their orders for Eastern Washington food staples and will bring them in in carload lots, side tracked in the rear of wholesale houses on Western avenue, beginning Monday. California fruits and produce not handled in carload lots will come by steamer. TEUTON INSURANCE BARRED (Continued From First Paff.)

Secretary Lane, 101- lowinir a suEpestion made to nim re cently by Senator McXary, today sent to Congress, wnn rresment , o nroval. a letter recommending the Im mediate appropriation of J4. 000. 000 in order that the Government may expe dite completion of the Alaska railroad to the Matanuska coal fields. Tire Secretary says the railroad has been pushed to the edge ot tne Matanuska field, and by September will be completed to Chickaloom, in the heart of the field. But it will not be possible to g:et out coal this season, as Anchorage, the present coast terminus of the road, is closed by ice during the Winter. When the lower end of the road is completed from Seward to Anchoraee. by closing a 30-mile gap. it will be possible to deliver Matanuska coal at Seward, which Is open all the year round. A large part of the appropriation asked is wanted to close the gap. so that Seward may become the coast terminus of the Government road. The Secretary says the Alaska road is now completed and operating from Seward inland for 71 miles and. across the Fap. is operating from Anchorage 61 miles towards Fairbanks, with a. branch operating to Kingrs River on the west edge of the Matanuska field.

No general shortage of harvest labor exists in Western States, according to reports gathered by the Department of Labor's employment bureau from Federal agents and state labor commissioners.

Differences between the shingle manufacturers of Western Washing ton and the employes who threaten to walk out on Monday unless their de mands for an eight-hour day at ten hours' pay and recognition of the union is granted, has developed ihto a fight between the owners of the plants and the I. W. W. minority of the men who have announced their intention of going on strike, according to N. S. Grammer, chairman of the defense committee organized by the lumber m en in this city on Tuesday. Lu mber- men declared today that their battle was not with organizea labor, but with I. W. W. agitators who have worked themselves into the plants and payrolls and while representing only a minority have made themselves sufficicntly powerful to obtain assent to a strike. The committee stated yesterday that only 900 of the total of 4000 shingle mill employes of Western Washington are members of the Shingle Weavers' Union. On the following day after the execu tive committee had been organized work of getting the manufacturers into line was begun. Chairman Grammer said yesterday that all the manufactur ers have signed the agreement not to yield or compromise with the strik ers, and a large part of the $500,000 de fense fund has been paid in.

I com menced using Santiseptic as soon as I got it and kept working in the poison oak. To all appearances, I am now en tirely cured, and, believe me, it cer tainly takes something to even help me. I had and have tried everything I or anybody elne ever hear of. Including all kinds of guaranteed remedies. Just sim ply time and money wasted. Santiseptic certainly did the work. I will recom mend it to everyone I can." Anyone who has ever experienced the tortures of poison oak or Ivy will be grateful for the information that this extremely irritating annoyance is no longer to be feared. The pain. Itching, fever and irritation disappear almost like magic with a few applications of Santiseptic. Santiseptic heals and pre vents other skin irritations, such as sunburn, chafing, fever and cold sores and insect bites. It is a remarkable soothing and healing lotion. Men use it after shaving and the women for the complexion and for baby's skin. Santiseptic is easily procured at most drug stores, a good-sized bottle costing but 50c. If your druggist cannot supply it 25 cents in stamps or coin sent to the manufacturers, the Esbencott Labora tories, Portland, Or., will secure post paid, large introductory bottle.
