STRIKERS RETURN
TO WORK MOW
AY
Patriotism Plays Important
Part in Reaching Settlement
of Shipyards Strike.
7000 WORKERS INVOLVED
Agreement to Resume Labor Is
Based on Recommendations of
Federal Adjustment Board,
Here Last Week,
Tt wa3 officially announced last
nlsht that the shipbuilding strike is
over and that tne men will return to
"work Monday morning, insofar as ar
rangements can be made therefor. It
may be Tuesday before all of them are
back in the yards, as there is much de
, tail work in connection with this fea
ture. A total of 7000 men are involved.
At the close of a Joint meeting; of
employers and representatives of the
strikers, held at the Multnomah Hotel
eterday afternoon, James B. Kerr,
spokesman, said that all is peace and
harmony now and lit for-a final vote
by a few of the unions concerned
everything is adjusted. Out of cour
tesy to those which have not as yet
iad meetings for balloting upon ac
- ceptance of the agreement basis, no
official statement has been given out
as to its details.
Fnfrlotlum Lend Way,
Balloting of unions involved will be
finished today and at 4 o'clock there
will be a special session of the Metal
Trades Council executive committee to
arrange final details for the return to
work. It is believed that the. decision
to resume wlil be unanimous, owing
to thQ strong patroitic spirit prevailing
nd that the tieup of the great ship
building industry in Portland and vicin
ity will be over by tomorrow.
At the meeting yesterday, interna
tional officers of several unions were
present, throwing their influence to
ward resumption of work. They re
mained with the others until train
time, leaving for the Union Station,
where they boarded the Southern Pa
cific train for San Francisco at 8
o'clock.
Board Has Influence.
The agreement upon which the men
will return to work is that which was
recommended by the members of the
Kederal Labor Adjustment Board, who
completed th-ir investigation of the
local situation Friday afternoon and
left that night for San Francisco,
where they have to look into the con
ditions there.
When the Board has completed its
investigation in San Francisco a uni
form wage scale for the entire Pacific
Coast will be announced, the members
&afd before K-avinir here. Before doing
o I hey will confer with the members
of the Board who sat in as temporary
adjusters, representing local interests
et Seattle and Portland.
Select Permanent Adjuxter.
Aside from the details of the plan
suggested by the Adjustment Board, it
may bo said that the main, actuating
leature, hoth as to the employers and
the men, is that of patriotism and a
"wish to speed up the shipbuilding pro
gramme here in the 'general effort to
furnish tonnage for the prosecution of
the war. As was pointed out by the
members of the Board, the most im
portant thing is to get th men back to
work and put the yards in full swing.
After that Is accomplished any remain
ing differences tan be ironed out and
meanwhile the construction of vessels
Will proceed uninterrupted.
Following the adjustment of the dif
Ticulties which resultert in the tie-up
f the yards, a committee representing
the employers and employes, at the
suggestion of the Adjustment Board,
will select a permanent adjuster from
. this vicinity, whose duties it shall be
to hear grievances and to smooth them
over, if possible. Should he be unable
; to do so, he wilt be instructed to re
port the situation lo the members of
the Board t Washington. 1. C, and
. they will decide the issues, whatever
they may be.
Yesterday afternoon, international
union officers, here to assist, in bring
ing order out of chaos, were taken
over the Columbia River Highway. They
have been using their influence to gret
the m-n back to work, realizing that
it is of the utmost importance that op
erations should be resumed at thd
earliest possible mcunent.

RALLIES DUE TODAY
Government War Pictures Will
Be Shown at Auditorium.
FINE PROGRAMMES DRAWN
Four Performances Will Be Given
Daily With Soloist at Each.
Funds Will All Go to Burins
Xecessities for Oregon Boys.
The most remarkable war pictures
ever exhibited in Portland will be those
entitled "Rally 'Round the Flag," to be
shown at each of the four daily per
formances at the Public Auditorium,
commencing today, for the benefit of
the emergency fund for Oregon sol
diers and sailors.
The first performance will be at 1:30
o'clock, the second at 3:30, the third at
7 and the fourth at 9. The same hours
will be maintained every day. Special
features, including music, are scheduled
for every performance.
The pictures were taken by the War
Department and are official. They have
never before been shown and have been
furnished free of charge. They show
war scenes on tho British and French
fronts as well as in all branches of the
American service.
Particular interest will center about
2000 feet of film taken at the canton
ment camp at Camp Lewis, Wash.,
where nearly 30,000 soldiers have mob
ilized in a vast city, which was built
by the War Department since the dec
laration of war by the United States.
These pictures were taken by Govern
ment photographers on a War Depart
ment permit for use during the Port
land performances.
Show Declared 'bIst Value.
"It Is a 50-cent show for 25 cents."
says Mayor Baker. "And every pennv
of the 25 cents goes into the emergeny
fund, which will be used to care for
emergency cases, of which there are
many arising among Oregon soldiers
and sailors. The money will be han
dled in euch a way that there will be a
fund in the hands of some officer wher
ever there is a unit of Oregon men.
"The money," says the Mayor, "will
be used to pay for necessary things the
Government does not furnish. We have
had many instances of where certain
things have been badly needed for the
welfare of a soldier or for a unit of
soldiers and there has been no money
available.
"Our boys are entitled to the best
we can give them. Let us show them
we are behind them with all our re
sources. The mother who has given
her sons for the country is entitled to
know that they will get the best treat
ment our state is able to give."

the day and the speakers were Mavor
Baker, Wallace McCamant, of the State
Supreme Court; Captain Hardy and
