The peace plan came from the
fcoard of conciliation, which suggest
i that the selectionr of a common
hiring point for lon-gshoremen be
left to a committer of five. The dele
gates from employers and union were
unable to agree to that plan, they
they said, but finally agreed that a
committee of five, consisting of two
ur.ion men, two employers and a fifth
chosen by these four be appointed to
determine in regard to the selection
of a second committee to take up
the hall question. The employers have
held out for use of their hiring hall
at Second and Oak streets, while ttie
Union has refused to accept that plan.

Tn the afternoon J. H. Holman.
president of the longshoreman's
union, with Herman Larson, of the
union committee, met With Major V.
A. Cartwright, assistant general man
ager of the Columbia-Pacific Ship
ping company, and Otto Kettenbach
of the Portland Flouring Mills com
pany to determine as to a fifth mem
ber, but it was said an agreement
was not reached and they are to meet
at 2 o'clock th's afternoon.
The state board had offered its plan
In the form of a communication
which, if agreeable, was to be signed
by the delegates. The draft was as
follows;
To the State Board of Conciliation, Port
land, Or.
Gentlemen: The undersigned are will
ing to Accept and abide by the findings of
your board as to ail matters now at Issue
jy and between the undersigned, relating
to the length of the working day, wages
and working conditions, but not the ques
tion or Issue as to the manner, method or
place of employment.
We recognize the employer's right to
negotiate for labor at such a point and in
auch a manner as he may elect, and the
equal right of employes to organize and
to dispose of their labor by and through
what Is known as "collective bargaining."
Committee Is Suggested.
In order to harmonize the differences
which have arisen on these Issues ad
versely affecting the interests of this port
as well as the undersigned, we do agree
that a committee of five, two members
or which shall be elected by the long
shoremen s union, two members by the
waterfront employers' union, these four to
elect . fifth, shall be empowered to ad
just the question of the manner, form and
place of employment, their action to be
received by us as final and acceptable for
a period of one year from the date hereor.
it shall be the duty of this committee
to adjust for final action the relationship
of the employers union, the longshore
men's union, the interests of the shipping
board. the Interests of the non-union
workers for the purpose of creating a
permanent, peaceful and rational method
or" meeting the issues which arise there
from. Heleffntem I, ark Authority.
When the draft was read by W. F.
Woodward, chairman of the board, it
having previously been assented to
by Otto Hartwig and John K. Flynn.
the other board members, so much
doubt was expressed as to how the
membership of each organization
might accept the departure, that the
second committee idea was developed.
In answer to a question from Chair
man Woodward it was said by J. A.
Madsen for the longshoremen's union,
that he was unable to say offhand if
the plan would be acceptable; that
the union had appeared before the
board pledged to abide by the de
cision of the board, but as to submit
ting part of the controversy to an
other body, he was not prepared to
Bay it was acceptable.
'You have submitted all issues to
use. and now we ask that consideration
of one phase be taken up in this way.
we to take care of all other issues,"
replied the chairman.
Mr. Jenkins Approves.
J. C. Jenkins, on behalf of the ship
ping board, indicated approval of the
committee pian. and added that the
matter had been left entirely In the
hands of the board, as far as the
government was concerned.
Mr. Larson proposed the substitu
tion of a committee to consider the
board's plan, and that was agreed to
with little delay. Mr. Flynn sug
gested that the men try the employ
ers' hall system tin til December 31,
but union longshoremen in the audi
ence plainly displayed objection,
while Mr. Larson thought it was use
less to try it. President Holman fa
vored a shipping board representative
as the fifth committeeman, but Mr.
Jenkins thought an outsider prefera
ble under the circumstances.
Co-operation la Urged.
Mr. Hartwig made a stirring plea
for co-operation and consideration of
the effort to reach common ground
on part of the controversy, declaring
the prt's business was at stake. His
talk drew applause.
Other than that union men are not
morking ships and there are a few
picketing, the waterfront atmosphere
remains cairn, as It has since Tuesday
morning, when men aboard a vessel
at the Kastern & Western mill were
at tacked. At the employers hall it
was said the enrollment of men was
con t in ned yesterday, and that with
only a few carriers in the harbor,
there was a surplus of help.

OLD-TIME RIVER CRAFT USED
TO HOUSE WIRE CREWS.
! .r.t ha rnona. Renamed Northwest
ern and Refitted, Serves as
Quarters for Men.
The old-time river steamer G ra
ft amona has been rescued from the
"boneyard,' where she had been con
signed as obsolete, and pressed back
into the service as a floating hotel
to accommodate the wire construc
tion gangs of the Pacific Telephone
& Telegraph company. The steamer,
which has been renovated completely
and renamed Northwestern, occupies
the unique position of being the only
craft of its kind in existence.
During the sleet storm of last No
vember the steamer was pressed into
emergency service to transport wir
gangs to the center of the trouble
area and to serve as headquarters
for the workers. After the temporary
work was completed the officers of
the company decided that the craft
had been so efficient as a camp quar
ters that reoutfitting work was
started. Approximately 150 state
rooms were divided off and outfitted
with steam heat and hot and cold
water. A reading room. Kltcnen,
dining room and storeroom were laid
out and the machinery was repaired
extensively. Tons of material for
construction and repair work was
provided with room.
The Northwestern is now a floating
hotel and camp and at present accom
modates 65 men who sleep aboard the
craft while it moves about at night
picking u,P supplies. Captain Raabe
is the pilot of the ship, which at
present is located along the river
bank between Mosier and The Dalles.
The wire cres are at work stringing
two long distance circuits for Hood
River and The Dalles.
In the raising of hundreds of tele
phone poles, which have been erected
through the gorge, the machinery of
the boat was brought dnto play. The
steamer will be in service for many
months to come, since a large con
struction programme is contemplated
for the east lines of the telephone
company.
cisco. The Kennecott gained Balboa
from New York April 22. There is
approximately 500 tons of cargo for
Portland aboard each carrier. Formal
announcement of the Oregon agency
for the fleet being placed with the
Oregon -Pacific company is being
made in cards mailed to shipping interests.
STEEL WORKER BRINGS CARGO
Isthmian Line Steamer Due Today
for Portland Discharge.
Cargo aboard the steamer Steel
Worker, due in the harbor today in
the Isthmian line service, amounts to
2000 tons and much of it is tin plate
for the American Can company? The
movement of plate for the manufac
ture of cans is on in earnest from
the Atlantic coast and recent arriv
als in the Isthmian service have
brought large shipments.
The steamer Steel Seafarer, which
went to Puget sound to finish dis
charging, has loaded part of her re
turn cargo and is expected In the
river today, headed here for lumber.
Norton, Lilly & Co., representing the
fleet on the coast, has the steamers
Steel Age and Chattanooga City in
the river, the former having left last
night for Puget sound after landing
inward freight, while the latter shift
ed from Westport to St Helens to
take aboard more lumber. She will
get to sea the latter part of the
week.
Japanese Coming to West Coast
Reported Responsible for
Heavy Traffic.
Passenger accommodations aboard
the Japanese liner Anyo Maru, of the
Toyo Kisen Kaisha service, which is
due here Thursday from over-Pacific
ports on her way to South America,
are at a premium, and the Oregon
Pacific company, agent for the fleet,
has faced the necessity of turning
away travelers. One party has ar
ranged tentatively during the past
few days to make the trip to San
Pedro with the expectation that cabin
accommodations will be left vacant
by travelers from the orient who will
leave the vessel there.
Advance reports of the passenger
list were that there are oO m the first
cabin, 40 in the second cabin and 500
in the steerage. The Anyo Maru is
the largest of the Toyo Kisen Kaisha
flag carrying passengers on the route.
She figured on the other side in a
grounding which resulted in a gen
eral average being declared against
the cargo, but any loss of time occa
sioned by the affair has been made
up by the vessel. On her arrival she
is to berth at Albers dock No. 3,
where cargo is to be handled.
The unusually heavy westbound
travel from oriental ports is at
tributed to migration of Japanese to
west coast localities, and while there
are a number usually found on each
steamer bound back to Japan, it is
expected the peak of the rush in that
direction will be reached in Septem
ber, that being based on the number
of appl i cat ions for passage and re
quests received for information as to
accommodations then.
The Rakuyo Maru got away last
week for the orient, carrying a num
ber of travelers from west coast ports
in addition to considerable cargo
hooked here for Asiatic delivery. The
Ginyo Maru, here in April on her
way south, will be back in a few
weeks and business in sight for her
as regards Portland promises to
measure up to the average.

HUGH MACKENZIE PROMOTED
Admiral Line Makes Seattle Man
General Passenger Agent.
SEATTLE, Wash., May 13. (Spe
cial.) Appointment of Hugh Macken
zie to be general passenger agent of
the Admiral line, effective today, is
announced by E. G. McMicken, pas
senger traffic manager of the com
pany. Mackenzie, for six years as
sistant general passenger agent, suc
ceeds Mr. McMicken, recently promoted
to be passenger traffic manager. Mr.
Mackenzie will have jurisdiction over
all passenger traffic Alaska, coast
wise and trans-Pacific.
Prior to joining the Admiral line
in 1916. Mackenzie for several years
was connected with the Hill rail
lines and the Union Pacific system.
He is well known in Oregon and Cal
ifornia coast cities, having been as
sociated with the Great Northern
Pacifie Steamship company when
that company -was operating the
steamers Great Northern and North
ern Pacific on the San Francisco
Flavel route. Mr. Mackenzie will con

KENNECOTT TO BE IN SOON
Eleetmate of Willpolo Expected in
Portland Thursday.
Though the motorship Kennecott
of the Williams Steamship com
pany's line got away from New York
a month after the steamer Willpolo,

Use of Enough Vessels In Next 5
Years to Carry Half of For
eign Commerce Advocated.
WASHINGTON, D. C, May 13.
Operation by the government during
the next five years of enough vessels
to carry 50 per cent of the foreign
trade of the United States was advo
cated today at the hearings on the
ship subsidy b-ill by Fields S. Pendle
ton, New York ship owner, who has
been referred to by Chairman Lasker
of the shipping board as the "Babe
Ruth of the Wooden Ship Game."
In preference to enactment of the
administration measure, which would
provide direct and indirect aids for
American ship owners, Mr. Penidleton
declared that regardless of losses the
shipping board should continue to op
erate vessels not only with a view
to getting a grip on at least half of
this country's import and export
trade, but of building up routes In all
parts of the world. He favored re
duction of rates wherever necessary
to meet the competition of the foreign
ships and predicted that "for every
dollar the government would lose the
country would gain two dollars in
iQwer ocean rates and. improved
service."
If congress is unw!lling to continue
government operation of ships at a
loss, Mr. Pendleton said, then it should
pass the subsidy bill, although he
contended that the aids provided
would not prove sufficient in them
selves to enable all classes of Ameri
can ships in foreign trade to compete
profitably with foreign vessels.
Others heard at today's sessions
were Luther B. Lowell, business man
ager of the American Steamship
Licensed Officers association; An
drew Furuseth, president of the In
ternational Seamen's union, and Pat
rick O'Brien, also representing the
seamen's union. They were cross
examined on various provisions of
the bill.
