federation is propounding questions
I Quizzing: candidates is one of the
i popular sports and as candidates want
support, some of them worry . over
the sort of replies to make.
Keionrcei ot Discussed.
Some weeks ago aspirants for the
legislature were conducted before
committees representing the federa
tion of patriotic societies and asked
many questions. But. as one candidate
said afterward, this committee never
! asked a question relative to the de
velopment of the resources of the
state, the improvement of the port or
i the problem of taxation. Presumably
the federation has now made up its
ticket. One rumor Is that instead of
a. committee legislative ticket, to be
printed in red, white and blue rather
than orange this year, the federation
will indorse only about eight on the
representative- end of the ticket.
The federation having checked up
Candidates, other organizations are
taking a whirl at the aspirants.
The Woman's Christian Temperance
onion, through Mary L. Mallet, state
resident, and the anti-saloon league.
through W. J. Herwig, superintendent
have joined in one questionnaire.
Change Feared By LrBRor.
"Will you." asked the organization.

the effect of existing laws of the
Btate of Oregon for the suppression
or restriction nf the manufacture.
f sale, transportation or use of Intoxi
cating liquors?
"Will it be yonr general policy
again asks' the questionnaire, "to
support any reasonable legislation
proposed in Oregon for the strength
ening and the better and more ef
fective enforcement of the state pro
hibition laws?"
Candidates who have talked with
the anti-saloon people gained the Im
pression that the league is afraid
that something may be done to sup
plant thepresent Oregon bone-dry
law with the Volstead act, which is
more liberal, and also that the league
plans offering even more drastic bone
dry measures at the 1923 session of
the legislature.
Extreme Proposals Killed.
At the regular session of 1921 the
league had introduced inter-locking
ptohibition bills which were consid
ered so extreme that they were
promptly sat down upon. Aspiring
legislators point out that "reasonable
legislation" may mean one thing to
the W. C. T. U. and the anti-saloon
league and quite another thing to
members of the law-making body.
The Oregon state farm bureau fed
eration questionnaire covers more
ground, extending from the conduct of
congress to land ownership by aliens.
Candidates are asked if they approve
of the national farm bureau federa
tion, the Oregon .federation and the
county bureaus which co-operate with
the department of agriculture and
tile . extension service of the Oregon
agricultural college. Also candidates
are asked . if they approve of the
agricultural farm bloc in congTess
end if they are willing to use all
legitimate means to assist these or
ganizations to attain their objects.
-a. Income Tax Query la Made.

ation. The same question' is asked
regarding a "fair" inheritance tax.
Other questions -are:
"Io" you favor laws equalizing the
tax burden by placing on the tax rolls
at a fair valuation all property both
tangible and intangible?"
"Do you favor rigid 'economy in
county, state and national govern
ment?" "Are you opposed to aliens not
eligible for citizenship owning or
controlling land?"
The farm bureau federation is ad
vocating a graduated income tax, but

Tuesday was indicated yesterday. At
the hall it was said many applicants
were ready to undertake the work, so
long as they were housed at the scene
and the arrangements are counted on
to attract others.
At terminal No. 1 the fence at the
north end, at the slip, has been
boarded solid, the picket fence having
afforded strikers full view of the
men who had taken their places.
The departure of the Admiral line
steamer Admiral Farragrut last night
and the arrival of the steamer Rose
City, of the San Francisco & Port
land Steamship company, brought
forth the assurance that the vessels
carrying passengers would be as
signed as many men as possible. In
the case of other ships, gangs are
sent in turn with the understanding
all will be worked with additional
gangs as they are organized.
The arrival of the steamer West
Keats from the lower river prompted
the union longshoremen to remind
J. W. Crichton of the division of oper
ation of the shipping board, that they
stood ready to work lumber aboard
in line with their arrangements with
authorities at Washington. The fact
was made known to the Columbia Pa
cific . Shipping company, which re
plied that the stevedoring was con

stevedore to select his men, whioh re

In the case of John Nensen, fined
J25 in the municipal court Friday in
connection with an attack on non
union men Thursday night, in which
four were beaten, the employers de
clared the case would be placed be
fore the grand Jury, as well as those
pending: against four other men ar
rested with Nensen. It was charged
by the employers that Nensen used a
piece of loaded hose in striking the
men.
In denial of having Industrial

ployed on the water-front gangs, the
employers yesterday issued the fol
lowing statement:

Suspected I. W. W. Throws Oil of
Mustard in Worker's Face.
Unusual quiet in all quarters where
strike trouble was expected yesterday
followed the outbreak early in the
morning, when a striker giving the
name of Hollis Straw, and believed to
be an I. W. W.. dashed the contents of
a bottle of oil of mustard into the face
of Frank Henderson, 26 years old, a
strikebreaker.
Although police were posted around
the hall of the Waterfront Employers"
union, at Second and Oak streets, and
at all docks where non-union men
were- engaged in loading ships, and
trouble was expected almost hourly,
nothing occurred. Strikers continued
o loiter in the street in front ot the
hall, but this was no disorder.
Henderson, the injured man, was
estlng easily in the emergency hos
pital at police headquarters last night,
and the physician in charge said he
prcbably would retain the sight of his
ight eye. which was tnougnt at tne
ime of the accident to be permanent
ly injured. The entire right side of
his face was severely burned and the
man was in considerable pain during
the day.
The virile oil was thrown into Hen
derson's face while he was sitting in
a bus in front of the employers' hall
with two other strikebreakers. Straw
walked up alongside the machine,
drew the bottle from his pocket, un
corked it and threw the contents di
rectly into Henderson's face. Patrol
men Paycer and Case caught him in
the act. Straw resisted violently and
gave the officers quite a struggle
before he was subdued and dragged
across the street to the police sta
tion. There he assumed a particu
larly "hard-boiled" attitude toward
the authorities and at first refused
to give his name. He changed his
mind abrupty. Seneca Fouts, who is
acting as attorney for the strikers,
went to the station immediately and
said he would not act for Straw, as
the union was not encouraging nor
countenance any such acts of vio
lence. Deputy District Attorney Mowry or
dered Straw held on a charge of
felonious assault under $1000 bail.
Death is a question that we. can
never leave alone, because death will
not leave us alone, - declared Dr.
George Wood Anderson In opening
his sermon at the united - gospel
crusade tabernacle last night. His
subject was "What Lies Beyond the
Grave.
The sermon was based on Christ'
parable of Dives and Lazarus, during
which Dr. Anderson contended that
conditions are just exactly as Chris
pictured them in the parable. H
said that there are two worlds here
and two worlds in the hereafter.
The selfish. Godless people he placed
in one class, and the kind-hearted,
merciful, God-fearing people were
placed in the other.
Dives Story Cited.
"We know that there is no such
thing as a second probation," said
the crusader. "When Dives asked
for Lazarus to save him, Fathe
Abraham answered in words that can
never be mistaken, 'And beside all
this, between us and you there is
great gulf fixed, so that they which
would pass from hence to you, can
not: neither can they pass to
that would oome from thence. Death
does not change our characters, but
death does fix our destinies. Whe
once these eyelids of the flesh close
forever, all eternity is settled. If
you die a servant of sin, you must
reap the penalty of your sin foreve
There is a deep gulf between heave
and hell, ami it can never be bridged
"Another fact about eternity is
that both worlds are solicitous about
the salvation of men's. souls. When
Dives discovered that his sufferings
were not temporary,- and that they
could never be relieved, his suffering
began to increase, as he remembered
his five brothers, who through sin.
were coming to share his sad fate.
Saints Barred From Earth.
'Instantly he prayed for Abraham
to send Lazarus back to earth to
warn them of their danger. But the
saints cannot even come back to
earth, and Abraham reminded Dives
that his brethren had Moses and th
prophets, and that they should hear
them. There was an agonizing cry
for his bretheren not to share hi
sad fate. The devil may do every
thing he can to drag you to hell, bu
there is not a single one of his vie
tims suffering in the depths of that
world of hopelessness that would' not

personal apprehension along that

Immediately in front of the em
ployers' hall, at Second aneT Oak
streets, were ordered to take station
on opposite sides of the street yes
terday, it being contended that the
congregation of pickets not alone
made it easier for disorders to oc
cur, but that drivers of auto busses
used in carrying men to and from
docks had refused to continue unless
afforded means of protection. They
were said to have reported to the
employers that threats had been made
AKuinst them. The drivers were or

man was still in tne city jail last
night.
It was leanred shortly afterwards
that Straw, is not a member of the
longshoremen's union. Officials of
the union vis-ited him after he was
booked and told officers they believed
him to be an I. W. W., although no
membership card was found in ' his
possession.
In order to cope with the situation
and to augment the regular police
force. Chief of Police Jenkins had
sworn irn25 ex-service men, who were
detailed to traffic duty, releasing that
many regular patrolmen for strike
duty. Last night vigilantes were
called on to perform routine patrol
duty about the city and regulate traf
fic so that the men on the first night
relief could be used to maintain order
on the waterfront and at other strike
centers.
Chief Jenkins had the crowds of
strikers dispersed from in front of
the employers' hall in the afternoon
and posted patrolmen in the street
with orders to let no strikers loiter.
The crowds simply retreated to the
other side of the street and remained
there in as large numbers as ever.
Few bueses left the hall with work
men during the afternoon, but there
was no trouble when they did.

Stamps Under System Devised by
S. ja. Slocum Will Be
Redeemed at Par.
More than 200 Boy Scouts of the
city were made happy yesterday by
the announcement that accounts they
had with the State Bank of Portland
have been taken over by the savings
department of the Ladd & Tllton
bank, which will honor them at 100
cents' on the dollar. During the day
there was a constant string of scouts
at the State bank, engaged in assign
ing their accounts to the Ladd & Tll
ton bank. While the average of these
accounts is said to be small, a number
amount to an appreciable turn.
Arrangements for the recovery by
the Boy Scouts who had become de
positors through the purchase of
thrift stamps were -effected by S. H.
Slocum for the State bank and C. L.
Philliber, manager of the savings de
partment, on behalf of Ladd & Tllton.
Though but a few more than 210 Boy
Scouts had actually opened accounts
in the State bank before it closed, 1400
had purchased some of the bank's
savings stamps. These also will now
