EY JAMES J. RICHARDSON.
Several new boxing bills which have
for their purpose the legalizing of 10
round boxing bouts In the state of Ore
gon are now reported to be in process
of formation, and the one that will tend
to govern the boxing game and keep it
on its present high plane, along lines
as now conducted under the auspices
of the Portland Boxing Commission,
will most likely be singled out and
presented at the corning session of the
legislature, according to boxing en
thusiasts who have long felt the need
of just such a system as has been in
augurated in' this city most success
fully by the men, appointed by Mayor
Baker.
To whom will be delegated the "op
portunity of presenting the boxing bill
for adoption has not been definitely de
cided, but it is known that a majority
of the Multnomah delegation to the
Legislature are boxing enthusiasts who
would be willing to support such a
bill. All of the out-of-town members of
the House and Senate have not been
consulted on the proposed measure, but
after the wonderful system Inaugurated
by the Portland boxing commission
which has successfully conducted six
round bouts during the past year and
elevated the boxing game until it now
stands on a par with any other sport
it is not thought they will be averse
to lending their assistance in the pas
sage of such a bill.
California Plana Change.
When the California Legislature
meets next month at Sacramento Ed
ward Lewis, assemblyman-elect from
-Marysville, will present a new boxing
bill which, if passed, will permit 10
round bouts and a decision by the ref
eree. Many other states plan the same
movement when their legislative bodies
convene. ,
Xo branch of athletics has contribut
ed more towards the support of various
war activity funds than boxing. Un
iler the supervision of James Coffroth,
Wan Francisco and Los Angeles boxing
audiences have contributed many thou
sands of dollars to make the boys "over
there" and in this country happy. In
the recent campaign for funds conduct
ed by the United War Work fund com
mittee, boxing played an important
role in putting the fund "over the top"
in grand style.
In Portland we have seen boxing en
thusiasts storm the roped arena with a
shower of coins for such worthy causes
as the Y. M. C. A., Red Cross, Knights
of Columbus, Armenians and Salvation
Army funds. The spectacle of a minis
ter of the gospel standing in the ring
making an urgent appeal to the fans for
a contribution to the Salvation Army
war fund, and a response from the au
dience that netted over $600 as the ex
cellent answer to his merited appeals,
is still fresh in the minds of those
present at the time.
Audience la Orderly.
Boxing audiences are among the most
orderly conducted of any public gath
ering and the game as supervised by
the Portland Boxing Commission is
clean. At the rscent bouts given by
the Portland Boxing Commission at the
Heilig Theater smoking was tabooed;
lady ushers supervised seating the pat
rons, and when all was finished the
rhief lady usher reported to the theater
management and boxing commissioners
that the audience which invaded the
beautiful building was the most or
derly ever ushered into the playhouse.
Under the stringent rules of the Port
land Boxing Commission there is no
chance of fake fights or boxers appear
ing in the ring out of condition. The
public cannot be bilked as in ye olden
flays. The boxers, as far as possible,
are paired according to their weight
and ability. The referees selected by
the commission are capable and render
their decisions accordingly.
If the boxing gama can be continued
In the future as it has during the brief
time the Portland Boxing Commission
has taken charge, and the state or Htv
in wnich the shows are held receives
part of the proceeds, there is no valid
reason why a 10-round boxing bill call
ing for a state boxing commission of
three or five members, to be appointed
by the Governor, should not be passed
Ihe United States Government has
."pent millions of dollars in order that
Us soldiers, sailors and marines might
become proficient in learning the art
of boxing. The big colleges and uni
versities are planning to make boxing
a major sport. The T. M. C A will
foster mass boxing.
When conducted along clean lines
and by such capable business men aa
constitute the Portland Boxing Com
mission, boxing cannot h. .
major sport.

Operation for Four-Hour Shift
Held Too Expensive.
MEN'S STAND COMBATTED
Builders Believe ' Government Will
Back Them on Basis Tbat Oth
erwise They Will Lose.
Saturday half holidays among men
employed in wood shipbuilding plants.
which were started yesterday when
members of organiaztlons affiliated
with the Columbia River District Marl
time Council left the yards at noon,
will probably be lengthened, at least
In some of the yards, so that the men
may have the entire day to themselves.
giving them Saturday and Sunday of
each week. . ,
The matter of the yards shutting down
for the entire day, on the ground that
to get up steam in the plants, start
blacksmith fires and the like is too ex
pensive for only a four-hour run, will
no doubt be recognized by the Govern
ment. The management of one yard
has already - been informed that the
Emergency Fleet Corporation will not
indorse any act tending to countenance
the stand of the men for Saturday half
holidays; as they are not provided for
in the Macy agreement, neither, so it is
made plain, does the Government ex
pect a corporation to lose money. It
is contended that to work half a day
with a full force and the other half
with a small percentage of tftte men is
unquestionably a losing system.
As regards the steel shipyard forces,
who went out as ordered by the Metal
Trades Council, most plants simply had
the night shift work, from noon to 4
o'clock, and the "graveyard" shift went
on from 4 to 8 o'clock last night. The
Willamette Iron & Steel Works was
one exception. It was reported that of
2800 men employed 32 went out at noon
and the estimate of the management
was that more than half of them were
men hired about a week ago. They
were asked to drop their badges in a
bucket at the gate, a request that
spelled dismissal. So that plant car
ried out its customary schedule.
The Coast Shipbuilding Company had
only a few men leave the yard, but at
the Supple-Ballln plant work was virtu
ally suspended during the afternoon.
The Grant Smith-Porter plant con
tinued running with less than half of
Its men.
At the North Portland plant of the
G. M. Stndifer Construction Corporation
about 270 men worked and 175 went
out, though Friday a vote taken in the
plant showed 197 wanted to labor and
137 favored the holiday. The force at
the Corporation's Vancouver plants
went out.
The Peninsula Shipbuilding Company
made no attempt to continue its after
noon schedule, virtually shutting down
as the crowd of men left the property.
OREGON MAH GOES EAST
JOHN B. MORRIS TO BE CHIEF
INSPECTOR. AT BOSTON.
Former Chief Engineer of San Fran
cisco & Portland Steamship
Company Gets Big Job.
John B. Morris, who has directed the

Thomas B. Handley, Senator for the district of Tillamook, Lincoln, Washington and Tamhill counties, has been a member of the Legislature for the
past three sessions, the coming session being his fourth consecutive attendance. In 1913 and 1915 Mr. Handley was a Representative and later was
elected as Senator, serving in the 1917 session. The 1919 session completes his term as Senator. Mr. Handley was born in Washington County about
34 years ago and has resided 27 years in Tillamook County, four years of which time he was the City Recorder of Tillamook. He is a lawyer by profes
sion and has been active in public matters for many years. Politically he is a member of the Republican party.
A. W. Orton, Senator from Multnomah County, is a holdover from the 1917 session. For years he has been active in local politics and was appointed.

Orton was a member of the House and in 1917 he served the first half of his term as Senator. He is a Republican.
Oscar W. Home, Representative from Multnomah County, was elected as a candidate of organized labor. He served a previous term in the Legisla
ture as a labor candidate. Mr. Home has resided in Portland most of his life, save for a period when he was in New York, where he was superintendent
on a section of the first subway and built municipal incinerators. He has held high positions in labor circles for years and is considered one of its main
advocates. Labor considers him specially qualified to look after' its interests in the Legislature. Mr. Home is a Republican.
D. C. Lewis, of Multnomah, has been re-elected to the House of Representatives.' Mr. Lewis has been serving the constituency of Multnomah in the
Legislature for a number of years and two years ago he led the House ticket, repeating this in the election of the current year. Mr. Lewis has been

here, and who has been on deck for
most of the war period, is expected to
be retained on the duty for a time,
though later will no doubt be given
his turn at sea duty. Some of the

through the withdrawal of regulations
and censorship affecting the taking of

Government fully intends to continue
the task of checking all crews on ves

and arriving, so there will be need for
the Navy men in the future on that de
tail alone.
In line with the intelligence system,
which has proven most useful during
the war period. It is hinted that the Ad
ministration plans to maintain a strong
hand on the I. W. W. situation, which
will require both the Army's and Navy's
watchfulness. Co-operation with the
immigration bureau and such Federal
branches, as well as with the assistance
of employers of all kinds, is hoped to
bring about a condition that will have
a most depressing effect on the I. W.
W. activity.
Plans tor af ter-the-war development
are fully expected to include favorable
action on the recommendations of the
Helm commission for the establishment
of a submarine base near Astoria, and
that, coupled with more frequent vis

to the interest of the Navy Department
