Senators Consider Problem
Affecting War Industries in
Pacific Northwest.
FORCE WILL MEET FORCE
I. W. "XV. Openly Teaches Murder,
Arson and Sabotage, Vet Ex
presses Surprise at Arrests, .
Says Senator Poindexter.
OREGON'IAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash-
Ington, Aug. 8. As result of long-con-"
tinued I. W. W. disturbances in North-
western states, and more particularly
because the I. AV. AV. has been retard
ing work on Government contracts, a
concerted effort is being nmde by a
number of Senators. ..mainly from the
AVest. to frame a bill which will make
it possible for the Federal Government
to step in and deal with the leaders of
the Industrial Workers of the AVorld
movement. At present, according to
the Attorney-Cieneral, there is no law
under which the Department of Justice
can act.
The exact form which this proposed
legislation will take has not yet been
determined, but the Senators most con
cerned are advocating a drastic bill
which not only will enable the Federal
fJovernment to stamp out Industrial
AVorkers of the AVorld activity in mills
camps, yards and mines where Govern
ment work is being turned out. but
which also will permit the prosecution
and conviction of Industrial AVorkers of
the AVorld leaders who preach treason
able doctrine, the. destruction of prop
erty, the disregard of law and the im
pairment of the Government in the
prosecution of the war.
Hollis to Draft Bill.
Senator Hollis. of New Hampshire,
because of his standing as a lawyer
and because of his reputation in labor
circles, has been asked to outline a bill
and his draft is to be submitted to
other interested. Senators before it is
introduced. Pressure will be brought
to bear to have it promptly reported,
t so that it can be considered by the
Senate when the war tax bill is out of
the way: in fact, its consideration may
' .e asked as soon as reported, on the
' ground that this bill, dealing with a
ino?t important war situation, has a
war status.
Senator AValsh. of Montana, took the
lead in advocating the passage of a
law to suppress the vicious activity of
the Industrial Workers of the AVorld.
Senator Myers, of Montana, quickly fol
lowed suit, arui Senators Poindexter, of
AVashington. and King of ITtah have all
voiced in the Senate their desire to see
such legislation. .
Discussing the matter recently. Sen
ator Poindexter pointed out that the
duty to protect life and property falls
upon the states Insofar as they can. But
he added:
"The Industrial AVorkers of the
World, at least the leaders of it. are
outlaws, or ought to be made outlaws,
because their official utterances their
printed literature and their speakers
advocate murder, and openly advocate
it. They openly advocate the destruc-,
tion of property.
Force Stoat Oppose Force.
"The proper -way to deal -with the
Industrial Workers of the World is
with a sufficient preparation of mili
tary force to meet the issue of force
"which those people put forth." contin
ued Senator Poindexter. "The Indus
trial Workers of the World have not
any special privilege of using force to
redress wrong. If they appeal to that
sort of a. decision, it is necessary for
the people of the various communities
to meet them upon their own ground.
'AVherever home guards have been or
! ganized. wherever there is ti company
of militia, or wherever there is an or-
io nization of fnited States troops, how
T'ever small It may be, I have noticed
that this trouble disappears.
"The Industrial- AVorkers of the
world seem to express great surprise
and indignation if any of their consti
tutional rights are violated, and yet
they propose to violate the constitu
tional rights of everybody else. That
is the Issue. They seem to claim some
sort of a special privilege of committing
murder and arson and sabotage, all of
which they openly teach in their litera
ture. Labor Entitled to OrEranize.
"There should at all times be a clear
line drawn between a legitimate labor
union, with its reasonable demands,
nearly all of which I have supported
and do support, and the advocates of
murder and dynamite that are leading
the Industrial Workers of the World
organization."
Senator Poindexter then read to the
Senate a communication from employes
of the Clear Lake Lumber Company,
presenting their views, in part as fol
lows: "We have steady employment and the
camps and mills of this company are
still in operation, although we have
been threatened with violence by the
Industrial Workers of the World, but
through our firm standi for our per
sonal rights we have been able to pro
tect ourselves, although we have been
told we will be marked men if we do
not strike and shut down the company's
operations. These men that are stirring
tip the trouble are not regular employes
and are mostly strangers to us. We do
iifit even know that they are lumber
workers."
FAIR SPY LOSES APPEAL
Court-Martial Confirms Death Pen
alty for Mata Hari.
PARIS. Aug. 18. A revision court
martial has rejected the appeal of the
Dutch dancer. Mata Hari. who recently
was condemned to death as a spy.
Mme. Hari was born in the Dutch
Cast Indies and claimed to be of Dutch
nationality. Before her marriage she
was Marguerite Zell, the daughter of a
Dutch planter. The girl is said to have
begun her dancing in Burma in a
Buddhist temple. Later she is said to
have fled from her husband, an English
baronet, and gone to Paris, where her
dancing won fame for her. Afterward
she danced in all the European capitals
and won further renown.
The woman, who is said to be be
tween the ages of 30 and 40, is hand
some, with black hair and eyes and
olive-colored skin. She is tall and
graceful and is famous for her elegance
of dress.

Gerard Defiant.
I then said: "I shall not cable at all.
AYhy do you come to me with a pro
posed treaty after we have broken
diplomatic relations and ask an- Am
bassador who is held as a prisoner to
sign it? Prisoners do not sign treaties
and treaties signed by them would not
be worth anything."
I added: "After your threat to Keep
Americans here and after reading this
document, even if I had authority to
sign it, I would stay here until hell
freezes over before I would put my
name to such a paper."
Montgelas seemed rather rattled and
in his confusion left the paper with
me something. I am sure, he did not
intend to do in case of a. refusal.
Montgelas was an extremely agree
able man, and I think at all times he
had correctly predicted the attitude of
America and had expressed himself
against acts of f rightfulness such as
the torpedoing of the Lusitania and the
resumption of ruthless submarine war.
I am sure that a gentleman like Mont
gelas undertook to carry out his or
ders In the matter or getting me to
sign this treaty with great reluctance.
I must cheerfully certify that even
the most pro-German American corre
spondents in Berlin, when I told the
correspondents of Montgelas' threat,
showed the same fine spirit as their
colleagues. All begged me not to con
aider them or their liberty where the
Interests of America were involved.
Mr. Gerard's Communications Cut Off.
As soon as diplomatic relations were
broken, and I broke tnem formally not
only in my conversation with Zimmer
mann of Monday morning, but by send
ing over a formal written request for
my passports on the evening of that
day, oar telegraph privileges were cut
off.
I was not even allowed to send tele
grams to the American Consuls
throughout Germany, giving them their
instructions.
Mail also was cut off and the tele
phone. My servants were not even per
mitted to go to the nearby hotel to
telephone.
In the meantime we completed our
preparations for departure. AVe ar
ranged to turn over American interests
and the interests of Roumania and
Serbia and Japan to the Spanish em
bassy and the interests, of Great Britain
to the Dutch. I believe that Ambassa
dor Polo' de Bernabe will faithfully
protect the interests of America and
I believe that Baron Gevers will fear
lessly fight the cause of the British
prisoners. AVe sold our automobiles,
and two beautiful prize-winning sad
dle Uorses, one from Kentucky and one.
from Virginia, that I Jiad brought with
me from America, went on the stage, i.
e., I sold them to the proprietor of the
circus in Berlin!
Food Given to Colleagues.
The three tons of food which we had
brought with us from America we gave
to our colleagues in the diplomatic
corps, the Spaniards, Greeks, Dutch and
Central and South Americans. I had
many friends among tne diplomats of
the two Americas, who were all men of
great ability and position in their own
country. I think that most of them
know only too well the designs against
Central and South America cherisbed
by the pan-Germans.
Finally, J think on the morning ol
Friday, Oscar King Davis, correspond
ent of the New York Times, received a
wireless from Mr. Van Anda, editor of
the New York Times, telling him that
Bernstorff and his staff were being
treated with every courtesy -and that
the German ships had not been confis
cated. In the evening our telephbne
was reconnected and we were allowed
to receive some telegrams and to send
throughout Germany open telegrams
to the Consuls, etc., and we were noti
fied that we would probably be allowed
toleave the next day in the evening.
Karewell In Berlin.
Always followed 'by spies, I paid as
many farewell visits to my diplomatic
colleagues as I was able to see, and on
Saturday. I thought, in spite of the
ridiculous treatment accorded us in
cutting off the mail and telephone and
in holding me for nearly a week, that
I would leave In a sporting spirit, and
I, therefore, had my servant telephone
and ask whether Zimmermann and the
Chancellor would receive me.
I had a pleasant . farewell talk of

about half an hour with each of them.
I expressly told the Chncellor that I
had come to bid him a personal fare
well and not to make a record for any
White Book, and that anything he said
would remain confidential. I also
stopped In to thank Doctor Zahn, of
the Foreign Office, who had arranged
the details of our departure, and I gave
him a gold- cigarette case as a souvenir
of the occasion.
At the last moment the Germans al
lowed a number of the consuls and
clerks who had been working in the
embassy and the American residents
in Berlin to leave on the train with us,
so that we were about 120 persons in
all on this train, which left the Pots
damer station at 8:10 in the evening.
The time of our departure had not been
publicly announced, but. although .the
automobiles in front of the embassy
might have attracted a crowd, there
was no demonstration whatever; in
fact, during this week that I was de
tained in Berlin I walked all over the
city every afternoon and evening, went
into shops, and so on. without encoun
tering any hostile demonstration.
Journey Is Uneventful.
There was a large crowd' In the sta
tipn to see us off all the Spanish em
bassy, Dutch, Greeks and many of our
colleagues from Central and South
America. There were from the For
eign Office Montgelas. Doctor Roediger,
Prittwitz and Horstmann. As the
train pulled out a number of the Amer
icans left In Berlin who were on the
station platform raised quite a vigor
ous cheer.
Two officers had been sent by the
Imperial government to accompany us
on the train, one, a Major von der
Ha gen. sent by the General Staff, and
the other a representative of the For
eign Office, Baron AA'ernher von
Ow-AVeohendorf. It was quite thought
ful of the Foreign Office to send this
last officer, as it was toy our efforts
that we had secured his exchange
when he was a prisoner in England,
and he, therefore, would be supposed
to entertain kindly feelings for our
embassy.
I had ordered plenty of champagne
and cigars to be put on the train. AVe
were first invited to drink champagne
with the officers in the dining car. and
then they joined us in the private salon
car which we occupied in the end of
the train. The journey was unevent
ful. Outside some of the stations a
number of people were drawn up who
r.tared at the train, in a bovine way,
but who made no demonstration of any
kind.
AVe went through AVurttemberg and
entered Switzerland by way of Schaff
hausen. The two officers left us at
the last stop on the German side. I
had taken the precaution before we left
Berlin to find out their names, andi as
they left us I gave each of them a gold
cigarette case inscribed with his name
and the date.
At the first station on the Swiss side
a body of Swiss troops were drawn up
presenting arms, and the Colonel com
manding the Swiss army (there are no
Generals in Switzerland), attended by
several staff officers, came on the train
and traveled with us nearly to Zurich.
I started to speak. .French to one of
these staff officers, but he interrupted
me by saying in perfect English, "You
do not have to speak French to me.
My-name is Iselin, many of my rela
tions live in New York and I lived
there myself some years."
At Zurich we left the German special
train, were met on the, platform by
some, grateful Japanese, Ahe American
Consul and a number of French and
Swiss newspaper reporters, thus end
ing our exodus from Germany. .

LONDON. Aug. 1". "To consider the

men of German TJ-boats" was tho offi
cial description of the purpose of the
assemblage here today of representa
tives of seamen's organizations of sev
eral entente allied and neutral coun
tries. France, Italy, the United States, Can

the Scandinavian countries were rep
resented by masters, mates, engineers,
sailors, cooks and stewards.
J. Havelock Wilson, head of the Brit
ish Seamen's Union, presided. In his
speech Mr. Wilson said:
"It is not worth while calling on the
government to protect us, but the peo
ple of the world must do something for
themselves. The war will not last for
ever. After the war the Germans again
will have to come among the seamen
of the civilized world. Then there will
be a great many accounts to settle.
"As seafaring men, we should ex
press in no uncertain language our
opinion of German brutality. Suppose
the seamen of the world make up their
minds that, after giving Germany fair
warning, they will, independently of all
governments, show the Germans that
the seafaring men of all nations will
not permit themselves to be disgraced
by working in a boat in which Ger
mans sail. Not only will we punish
German seamen, but German ship own
ers as well."
Mr. AVilson proposed that the sea
men, after the war, set up an inter
national commission to try comman
ders and crews who have murdered in
offensive seamen.

Alkali Makes Soap
Bad for Washing Hair
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali, which is very
injurious, as it dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to- use is Just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil, for this is pure
and entirely, greaseless. It's very cheap
and beats the most expensive soaps or
anything else all to pieces. You can
get this at any drug store, and a few
ounces will last he whole family for
months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about a teaspoonful is all
that is required. It makes an abund
ance of rich, "creamy lather, cleanses
thoroughly and rinses out easily. The
hair dries quickly and evenly, and . is
soft, fresh looking, bright, fluffy, wavy
and easy to handle. Besides it loosens
and takes out every particlo of dust,
dirt and dandruff. Adv.
