14 THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, MAT 21, 1923 H1IWH TO Co-operation With Commerce Body Requested. 19 DINE AT WHITE HOUSE Agreement Readied to Have Com mittee Take Up Matter for Further Consideration. WASHINGTON. D. C, May 20. Re quest was made by President Harding at a conference with 19 of the lead ing railroad executives of the coun try at a White House dinner confer ence tonight for the co-operation of the larger roads of the country with th interstate rnmmerPfl commission in 'vuiuiiLaiy reuucLiuus oi iainuu rates. An agreement was reached for the creation of a special committee to take up the matter further. The rate matter was gone over during the conference, which was also participated in by Secretary Hoover, and it was declared in a White House statement issued after the meeting had terminated that .the railroad executives were unanimously In favor of assisting the restoration of business by such rate action as they might find possible to take. The only statement issued was that from the White House, the railroad executives departing immediately and declining to discuss the conference, whch lasted until a late hour. Statement Is Quoted. "The president invited the railroad presidents and the board chairman to dins with him" the White House statement said, "and to confer with him concerning further relief for rail road service along l'nes somewhat similar to the voluntary reductions granted in some commodities some months ago, more particularly on such basic commodities as may be found necessary to speed industrial betterment. The whole railroad problem was discussed and difficul ties of railroad management under existing conditions were presented. The presidents voiced their unani mous desire to make the fullest con tributions possible to restore and maintain prosperity. "Various aspects of the railway problem were discussed, particularly the necessary preparations in pro viding new or required equipment when normal business is restored. The president made it clear he was attempting none of the duties of rate inaking or rate recommendations, tut he felt that much could be ac complished by conference, and that helpful results must accompany a full co-operation i between the ra'l heads and the government body charged with the regulation of rates. Committee to Be Named. The executives voted to have a committee named from their member ship to take up the problem and rec ommend what action could be taken." The list of railroad executives in vited as announced at the White House, include the following presi dents of roads: A. H. Smith, New York Central; Carl R. Gray, Union Pacific; W. H. Finley, Chicago & Northwestern; W.B.Storey, Santa Fe; C. H. Mark ham, Illinois Central; H. E. Byram, Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul; Sam uel Rea, Pennsylvania; Hale Holden, ern Pacific; Ralph Budd, Great North ern; F. D. Underwood, Erie; S. M. Felton, Chicago Great Western; Daniel Williard, Baltimore & Ohio; Fairfax Harrison, Southern, and Ed ward E. Loomis, Lehigh Valley. Also invited were R. S. Lovett, Howard Elliott and Julius Kruttsch nitt, respectively chairmen of the boards of the Union Pacific, Northern Pacific and Southern Pacific, and Edward Chambers, now vice-president oi the Santa Fe and during the war director of traffic for the railroad administration. Policies Not Outlined. Exact outlines of the rate policy President Harding was expected to put forward remained obscure prior to the dinner, except that reductions in freight charges, if these can be reasonably secured, constitute the chief administration policy. The in terstate commerce commission has before it representations of shippers made in its general rate inquiry in favor of downward rate adjustment, but has not reached a decision. The president is said to have been told that legal requirements laid upon the commission will not, in the opin Ion of fiome of its members, allow material reductions to be enforced by regulative orders. Legally the com mission must give the railroads a rea sonable return on the value of their capital in fixing rates. The railroads have persistently argued that operating costs, which they contended were partially con trolled by another government body, the railroad labor board, which fixes wages, must be brought down further before railroad rates can be ma terially lowered. The president has been represented as feeling that ex ecutive inquiry and possible voluntary concerted efforts by railroads might be effective in the situation, HALL AND OLCOTT CLOSE (Continued From Pase 13.)

Ja pan's triangular feet prevent the de velopment of a market for American shoes in that part of the Orient, ac cording to a report to the commerce department today from Consul Lang doit at Yokohama. "The average Japanese foot," he said, "is broader than that of the Oc cidental, particularly between the ball of the foot and the base of the small toe, and has straight, widely sepa rated toes a foot that roughly re sembles a triangle in shape, with the apex at the heel. Such a foot cannot possible be incased- in a shoe of standard American size with comfort- ILWAC0 GRADUATES 17 All Students Declare Intention of Getting Higher Education. rLWACO, Wash., May 20..

HIRING HALL SORE POINT Employers and Men Declared to Be Agreed on All Other Issues of Controversy. On the eve of making public its findings in the longshore strike con troversy, in connection with which hearings have been conducted for more than a week, the Oregon state board of conciliation determined late yesterday to hold the matter in abey ance for a period of 48 hours, in the hope that a means might be found of ending the. strike, it being virtually admitted that a basis for adjusting all issues had been found, with' the single exception of a common point of employment. ' " Members of the board were !n con ference yesterday with committeemen from the longshoremen's' union, also with representatives of the Water front Employers' union and the Cham ber of Commerce, and no positive means was found of disentangling the hall feature. In agreeing to arbitra tion by the board, the longshoremen went on record as wi'ling to abide by its decision, yet it wis strongly im plied that if it was insisted that men be hired through the employers' hall, they would be unwilling to accept it. Employers Are Firm. On-the other hand the employers tiave not budged from their position tnat men will be . accepted only through their recently established hall. A plan of determining on neutral hall has failed, or at least was said to have fallen flat up to last night. Yet, even though the state Doara had progressed to a point in their conclusions that resulted in their being drafted, a lingering hope that the employment barrier might be lifted was agreed to be of such im portance that action wag deferred until tomorrow afternoon. ine board members expressed themselves as ready to reopen the general subject if any encourage ment la given. But with the long shoremen on record for arbitration as is the- shipping board, while the employers accepted only conciliation the board is powerless to enforce its conclusions on the factions, it was said. Every effort will be expended to discover methods by which the deadlock may be overcome. Strike on For Month. i The strike was precipitated Sunday April ii, so has been in force four weeks today. The employers i ported men abundant for shipping aemanas at present, and more work ers to be had. Union men will he hired if they present themselves at the hall, but not elsewhere, the em pioyers said. As the only carriers materially detained as to cargo be cause of the trouble are those owned by the shipping board, privately ownea vessels being accorded dis patch, the employers said, the strike has failed to attain the ends soueht Dy tne union in halting work. since a week ago Tuesday morning no outbreaks have been recorded on the waterfront, though the employers are continuing their system of hous ing men on the steamer T. J. Potter, as well as at terminal No. 4. HAY EXPERTS FAR APART UNIFORM GRADES FOR STATES FOUND IMPOSSIBLE. Effort to Establish Rules for Pro. ducers of Oregon and Wash ington Prove Fruitless. OLYMPIA, Wash., May 20. (Spe cial.) Washington and Oregon grow ers of alfalfa hay were so completely opposed in their demands for grades that agreement was impossible and the joint effort of the departments of agriculture of the two states to es tablish uniform hay grades resulted in a wider breach than ever, E. L. rench, director of agriculture of Washington, said today in announcing hay grades for this state, effective July 1. Demand of Washington growers was for only two grades, whereas Oregon growers desired six. Each was equally insistent, with the result that in each state the department of agriculture acceded to the demand of its own people. Washington's two grades will be "choice alfalfa" and ."No. 2, fair color," the former includ ing the two top grades formerly used and known as "choice" and "No. 1,' the quality of the No. 2 remaining un changed. No grade lower than No. : is provided. In the opinion of experienced hay dealers and brokers the hay growers of the state have penalized their pure hay severely by throwing it all into grade that permits a 10 per cent mix ture of poorer hay or weed3. Yakima valley hay growers were a unit thefr demand for the new grades, overcoming all opposition. It appears, dealers say, that the Yakima grow ers have not considered any grade for their pure alfalfa or premium hay notwithstanding the fact that 60 per cent of all inspected at shipping points last season graded as choice alfalfa. - T TARIFF TARGET SENATE OPENS FIGHT AGAINST DUTY ON IMPORTS. Trust Declared to Control Produe tion in America and Force Prices Up. ' WASHINGTON, D. &, May 20. Res toration of the Portland and other hydraulic - cements to the free list with a provision for tariffs against countries which discriminate' against American exports of the commoduy may result from the fight which was opened in the senate last night and continued today on the duty of cents a hundred pounds proposed in the pending tariff bill. A suggestion that the bill be amended was made by Senator Smoot ranking republican on thesenate fi nance committee, and it is expected that the committee will take up-th matter early next week. Meantim th6 senate approved a duty of 20 per dent ad valorem- on other cements, this representing an increase of S per cent in the rate in the house bill. Resuming the democratic attack on the dydraulfc cement rate. Senator Hitchcock read the indictments re turned by a federal grand jury in New York against what was characterized as the eastern and national cement trusts and declared that the tariff proposed would further aid manufac- ! turers who now are being proceeded against by the department of justice for violation of the ant'-trust laws. He said the trust controlled 85 per cent of production in this country; tnat it had raised Us prices twice as igh as they should be; that it had sent agents before committees of con gress to seek high tariff duties, and that it had been charged m the in dictment with "deliberately starving the cement market" by shutting down factories and in other ways so as to maintain prices. 1DHEERS LOCATE FORT WAR DEPARTMENT RECORDS DECLARED WRONG. 2 000 Expected to Attend Ceremony on Memorial Day That Will Re call Early State History. OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL LEGE, Corvallis. May 20. (Special.) Plans for the ceremonies on Memo- ial day to perpetuate the memory or old Fort HosKins are growing more and more extensive as the interest among students and persons living in the Kings valley country increases. Fort Hoskins is situated 20 miles northwest of Corvallis on the edge of Kings valleys. The assembly will contain from 2000 to 3000 persons, believes Professor Horner, head of the history department. Slightly more than a year ago Pro fessor Horner wrote to the war de partment at Washington, D. C, and asked for some information on the military record of Fort Hoskins, and Lieutenant Philip Sheridan, who is well remembered by old residents of the valley. The information received was al most entirely erroneous, according to pioneers of Benton and Polk counties, who have placed large stones at the exact spots on which stood the build ings of the fort, ready for the Me morial-day ceremonies, during which men from the history classes of the Oregon Agricultural college will chisel records that will stand for all time. According to the war department the fort was situated on the Siletz river, which is on the west side of the Coast Range mountains, whereas it was in reality on the little Luckia mute. on the east side of the range. Instead of being 40 miles from Cor vallis, the fort is only 20 miles away, making the war department in error again. Information judged correct by Pro fessor Horner came to the effect that Fort Hoskins was established July 26, 1856. It was first occupied by company G, fourth . intantry, under the command of Captain C. C. Augur of that regiment. The troops were withdrawn from Fort Hoskins in De cember, 1863, and the post was aban doned in August, 1866. Second Lieu tenant Philip H. Sheridan served at Fort Hoskins from 1856 to 1858 in the fourth infantry. SOLDIER TOMB IS LOOTED SHRINE OF FRANCE ROBBED OF TRIBUTES. Place, Formerly Kept Open to Dis tinguished Visitors, Locked. Armed Guard Demanded. (Copyright by the New Tork World. Pub lished by Arrangement.) PARIS, May 20 (Special Cable.) While the French people have come to regard the tomb of France's un known soldiers at the Arcade Tri- umphe as a national shrine, a few in dividuals have been robbing it of flowers, wreaths and other artistic tributes. The room reserved for these sou venirs, which have been bestowed by kings, other distinguished visitors to Paris and many obscure citizens, has been left op.n to the public. But since the guardians have discovered tne depredations of thieves and souvenir hunters, it has been kept iockea, barred and chained. Public opinion lias been aroused by the thefts, and the authorities are bombarded with demands for a gendarme or other guard on duty at the door of the chapel to prevent further robberies.

BY LINCOLN EYRE. (Copyright by the New York World. Pub lished by Arrangement. ) PARIS, May 20. (Special Cable.) With the date on which Germany must yield to the reparations com mission's demands or be formally labelled a defaulter only 11 days off, Premier Poincare again insists on the French right to take action against the reich. In a letter to ex-Minister of Finance Klotz, the premier today emphatically reiterated his conviction that France has the right to coerce Germany, with or without the aid of the other allies, once German failure to pay has been formally recorded by the commission. In this M. Poincare flatly contra dicted Austen Chamberlain, British government leader in the house of commoi s, who stated in the house that the French government had bound Itself to act only in concert with the allies in enforcing the treaty of Versailles. I loyd George Not Greeted. The French premier also refrained, quite deliberately it seemed, from ex tending any official salutation what ever to David Lloyd George when the British prime minister passed through Paris this morning on his way from Genoa to London. The only repre sentatives of France; on hand when the British delegation's special train roljea into the Lyons station were a tev policemen and detectives. Lord Harding, the British ambassa dor here, boarded tne train and ac companied his chief around Paris, leaving the special at La Chappelle. Mr. Lloyd George declined to receive any newspapermen and no statement was issued on his behalf. An extraordinary departure from diplomatic etiquette was involved in this failure to meet the head of a friendly government on his appear ance in the French capital. But no explanation was vouchsafed at the foreign office. The impression gath ered at the Qua! D'Orsay, however, was that M. Poincare regarded con versation with the British premier as unlikely of producing Beneficial re sults at a moment when the diverg ence of view behind the two was so prdnounced. Barthou Is to Return. When Minister of Justice Barthou returns from Genoa tomorrow M. Poincare and his cabinet will begin to frame the government's case for defense of its policy at Genoa and foreign policy generally. The premier has been notified of a long list of interpellations in the chamber of deputies next week by the leaders of nearly all parties in the chamber. However, in govern ment circles it is expected that Poin care will come through the storm with his majority intact. FIR SEED GIVEN TO ITALY Presentation Is Made by American Forestry Association. ROME, May 20. The secretary of the American Forestry association authorizes Elbert F. Baldwin, who has been in Genoa attending the confer ence, to inform King Victor Em manuel of the presentation by the as sociation of 5,000,000 Douglas fir tree seeds to Italy, and Mr. Baldwin has brought the fact to the attention of the king through Richard Washburn Child, the American ambassador. It is expected that the Douglas fir will grow well in Italy because of its mountain slopes and a temperature similar to that of Oregon and Wash ington, where the fir flourishes.
