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,

cording to a report to the commerce
department today from Consul Lang

"The average Japanese foot," he
said, "is broader than that of the Oc

of the foot and the base of the small

rated toes a foot that roughly re
sembles a triangle in shape, with the

CONCILIATION BOURD
5
Hope of Waterfront Peace
Avowed as Reason.
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

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

Place, Formerly Kept Open to Dis

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.

Force to Make Germany Pay
Is Still Favored.
LETTER SENT TO KL0TZ
Action Either With or Without Aid
of Other Allies Is Declared to
, V . Be Nation's Right.
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.
