Executive, With Special Session of Legislature In Mind, Conaulta Attaraer-Geaer.l. SALEM, Or., Oct. 20. (Special.) In response to an Inquiry from Governor Withyeomne relative to a proposed bill for compulsory arbitration should a special session of the Legislature be convened, Attorney-General Brown to day sent a communication to the execu tive outlining: what statutes to that effect now are on the books of other states and countries. He also cites a number of authorities relative to the question of compulsory arbitration. , In closing his letter to the Governor the Attorney-General quotes from a treatise by Thomas I. Parkinson. The quotation follows: In endotvoring to prevent tiy legislation nil rbitrtlon the Ills which flow from Industrial disputes, we shall encounter at every turn difficulties of con.titutionaliiy. of practicability and of desirability. Eifec tlvr legislation must be adjusted to the prov!sions of our constitutions if it is to avoid the Judicial veto. Until all the de tails have been worked out it will be im. possible to any whether such !ls!aton is guaranteed merit. that kind.

Where there is such wide choice of ways and means to accomplish the legislative purpose and where any effective scheme involves so much detail, questions of constitutionality and desirability cannot b answered in gen eral : they must be dlrarted to a specific nti detailed propoiul. When so much de pends upon detail it is Imperative that every phase of t he subject should be carefully studied before a serious legislative proposal in formulated. The wisdom of the policies underlying the details which it is proposed to incorporate in such a statute should be carefully weighed, and the legislative de terminations should be formulated and phrased with the . utmost precision. Un less the determination 01 the policies of arbitration legislation be baaed upon Inti mate knowledge of fact and law and un less the transacting of these policies Into a statute be done with care and skill, there is grave danger that compulsory arbitra tion, even though It he constitutional, may not prove to be desirable.

Mc Kinney, a second-class naval seaman, of Newark, X. J., was among: the men lost in the torpedoing of the transport Antilles Wednesday by a German sub marine, the Navy Department was ad vised today by Vice-Admiral Sims. His name became confused with that of K. L. McKinzey. a seaman, of Water Valley, liss., who was reported anion; the missing. McKinzey was saved. No further details of the sinking of the Antilles had been received by the de partment late today. Administration officials are awaiting: with profound Interest amplification of the meager details cabled to the Navy Department yesterday by Vice-Admiral Kims. Names of the great- majority of the victims are lacking, yesterday's dispatches giving; only those of four naval seamen and three engineer of ficers of the transport. Muster Roll Awaited. It was impossible to ascertain the identity of the casualties among the crew and soldiers. The list cannot be completed until the muster roll made up at the French port of embarkation can be compared with tho roster of sur vivors. While the deepest sympathy was ex pressed today In official circles for those who gall-.ntly gave up their lives, relief was ge,oral over the fact that the vessel had met her fate while home ward bound and not on the way over with a large number of troops uboard. Work Skillfully Done. Interest is intense the manner the submarine managed to elude tho pro tecting convoy and discharge the tor pedo that passed directly into the bowels of the vessel. Naval officers are of the opinion that the German commander lurked beneath the surface till the roving destroyers passed over head and then waited for the big troop ship to come into easy range before releasing the deadly missUe. It is Inferred from Admiral Sims' report that the ship went down in a few minutes. This fact, coupled with tho necessity of rescuing survivors, made impossible, it is belioved, any at tempt to locate the U-boat. Hindu Plotters Ciuilty. ' CHICAGO, Oct. 20.
