ALASKA LINE MAY PROFIT
TelegTaphlo Announcement Prom New
Tor Received Here With the
Keenest Enthusiasm.
Telegraphic announcement made in
The Journal last night to the affect
that the Panama canal would be- open
by July 21, has been met -with a
chorus of delight and satisfaction by
Portland steamship men. The contin
ued delays and the expectancy have
raised havoc with the shipping of all
Pacific- coast porta, and it is believed
that an era of prosperity is due for ail
steamship lines now.
The announcement that the canal
would be open by July 31, was made
yesterday by General Manager Alcock
of the Pacific Steam Navigation com
pany. As head of one of the most
powerful steamship companies in Amer
ica, it is believed he is In a position
to know.
The expectancy of lower rates with
the opening of the canal has resulted
In the accumulation on the eastern
coast of thousands of tons of freight.
Wholesalers In this district are said
to have run with depleted stocks for
months, using only what material they
absolutely had to have,t In order to Be
able to take advantage of the first
lower rates to go Into effect with the
opening of the great waterway.
Should the canal open by July 81,
steamship companies plying to and
out of Portland will be In excellent
shape to take advantage of their op
portunity. The American-Hawaiian
Steamship company has three steamers
in Pacific waters, which can be sent
back through the canal. It also has
two steamers in the North Atlantic
which can be rushed out here by way
cf the canal. J
V. K, Grace & Co. will have three
steamers here during the last week In
July and the first two in August, all
of which will be sent through. The
British steamers Colusa and Cusco and
-the American steamer Santa Cecelia
will all load here within the next five
weeks.
The Portland Steamship company,
Portland's Alaska line, Is also ex
pected to reap great benefit from the
opening of the canal. The already
heavy shipments of canned salmon
from thn north are expected to be j
greatly enlarged, as their steamers will
be able to give fast service to the
Atlantic coast via the regular steam
ers which will be operating out of
here.
. Lumber steamers out of North Pa
cific ports are already figuring on their
canal trips. Captain Robert Dollar of
the Dollar Steamship company wilt
send his steamers through at the first
opportunity, having a large contract
for delivery at Quebec and Montreal
of lumber from this coast:
Bound this way, the East Asiatic
and Harrison lines of steamers are
ready, the East Asiatic having the
Danish motor ship Malakka ready to
commence loading at Copenhagen and
other ports. The motor ship Natal is
en route now and will hardly be able
to use tflo canal, as she should be of f
the Straits of Magellan within a few
ilays.
J ust what disposition the Royal Mall
Steam Packet line will make of he
British steamer Cardiganshire, which
goes On the berth for August loading.
' also arises with this announcement
The Cardiganshire was built especially
for this trade, and with the canal open
may be diverted from the Aslatlo route
here. The decision of the company
- will be awaited with Interest.
NEW RECORD FOR LOADING
Steamer Leggett Given Unusually
yulet Dispatch.
(SDeclll to Tho Jr.nrrv.1 1
Aberdeen, Wash., July 18.' After a
irme over it nours or loading, the
steamer John A. Hooper with 2.350.nn,i
feet of railroad ties cleared this after
noon, creaking in one trip three rec-
oras ror rast loading, for a single
water shipment of railroad ties, and the
largest domestlo shipment to leave the
naroor.
The Hooper will cross the bar draw
ing so reet The Hooper arrived
Thursday morning at 11 o'clock and In
departing had been In harbor 63 hours.
The Hooper did not load overtime, anil
during the course of loading shifted
irom tne urays Harbor Lumber mill
in Hoqulam to the Aberdeen Lumber
and Shingle mill. Aberdeen.
The best known loading record ever
made by a steam vessel was the Fran
rls M. Leggett. which loaded 1,600,000
xeet or lumber and cleared In 23 hours.
This Is a world's record. The Lee
gett worked overtime and her record
cannot be compared to that of the
Hooper in time of actual loading. The
largest cargo of railroad ties ever to
leave this port before has not exceeded
one million feet.' Locally the cargo of
the Hooper has been exceeded only by
foreign tramp vessels going to foreign
ports. Destination is San Pedro.
QUINAULT
OFF FOB NORTH.
Portland
Steamer Carries Larze
Cargo to Alaska.
Loaded to the guards with freight,
the steamer Quinault of the Portland
Steamship company's fleet sailed at 9
o'clock last night for Alaska. She had
every available foot of freight space
taken and carried as well a number of
first class and steerage passengers.
Among her passengers were Mr. and
Mrs. George W. Taylor, of Corvalll
who are on their way to Ketchikan?
George. Phinn and sister, Mrs. Clare
Vinton, tf ' Vancouver, Wash., bound
for Juneau; Roy Chris ten son, a wres
tler who has been winning most of his
bouts about the northwest, and his
manager, S. W. Hill, also bound fpr
Juneau, where they expect to have a
number Of matches, and Ed Hanson, a
, Skagway cannery man. The steerage
was almost entirely taken by Chinese
; cannery laborers bound for the north.
In order to induce passenger traffic
on the steamer Quinault - whose ac
commodations are now not quite what
they were on the steamer J. B. Stet
son, a special rateof $2 less than that
charged on the Stetson was made-yesterday
by the Portland Steamship com
pany, and went into effect on this trip.
Tiie Quinault had In her hold 350
tons of general merchandise, 60,000
feet of lumber and close to 500 tons
of cans and box shook.

MANY VESSELS HASTEN TO AID OF CRAFT IN DANGER
BRINGING MEN
TOGETHER
Investigation Is Being Carried
. on as to Causes of
Unemployment."
Frank 0Hara believes that getting
the Jobless man and the manlss Job
together is better than a doctrinaire on
unemployment.
He is Sure more good will be done by
getting able men opportunity than to
spend the time and energy of an in
quiry entrusted to him in "definition
of the fundamental" or "theory as to
me ultimate. 1
Regularly, Dr. O'Hara is professor1
of economics in the Catholic Univer
sity of America at Washington. For
the present, he represents in Oregon
the quest for causes and remedies of
unemployment that is being simul
taneously conducted nationally by the
American Federation for labor leg
islation, and around the world by the
International Association for Unem
ployment. Big sounding titles these, but Dr.
O'Hara says he conflicts not at all
with either when he draws greater
confidence from the practical than the
theoretical.
He works with the Oregon Commit
tee on Seasonal Unemployment headed
by his brother, Father E. V. O'Hara.
This committee compromises the Ore
gon section of the American associa
tion. Committer Representative.
This committee is generally repre
sentative. Its membership includes
Governor West, for the state; William
L. Brewster, commissioner of public
affairs, for the city; George M. Corn
wall, representing timber operators; A.
H. Harris, representing the Central La
bor council; G. B. Hegardt, engineer;
Rufus Holman, county commissioner;
Dan J. Malarkey, president of the state
senate; C. C. McColloch, personal rep
resentative of Governor West; Frank
H. Ransom, representing Governor
West; Isaac Sweet of the Oregon Civic
league; Professor F. G. Young of the
University of Oregon; and Caroline J.
Gleason, social service expert, secre
tary.
Three main lines of inquiry have
been undertaken; exact status of un
employment in Oregon; inducing public
officials to arrange for public work
when private enterprise ia not press
ing; securing cooperative Inquiry into
industries by representatives of those
industries.
' Three Advisory Bodies.
Three advisory committees have al
ready been appointed. George B. He
gardt, engineer of the dock commis
sion, heads the committee of state en
gineers, and this committee will un
dertake to list the various kinds of
wofk that can best be done, or can be
done without loss during the winter,
or when private enterprise Is not clam
oring for men.
George M. Cornwall is chairman of
the advisory committee of tlmbermen.
This committee will see what can be
done in land clearing during the win
ter, and with what advantage logged
over lands may be offered those who
not only want work but want to de
velop farms.
The Central Labor council has ap
pointed a committee consisting of Eu

Harris, G. A. Rogers, M. W. Peterson.
mis committee win ueiina employe
ment conditions in Oregon ni all in
dustries. Number Easily Explained.
Dr. O'Hara has learned from the last
census that In Oregon there are nor
mally more than 7000 men employed
In manufacturing industries who are
out of work in January: j
"Adding to these figures the con-1
siderable number of workers set free
in Oregon by agriculture and mining
it is not dlffcult to explan the exist
ence of the large army of the unem
ployed which congregates in Portland
and other cities in the "winter time,"
he said yesterday.
"To a certain extent Industries are
working at full capacity . in other
states when they are partly closed
down In Oregon, and this furnishes
some relief. Thus in the census year
4000 more men were employed In Ore
gon logging camps and mills In June
than in January. In the same year
In Massachusetts there were 1000
more men employed In the same in
dustry in January than in June.
Sffaxlmtun la. November.
"Taking the United States as a
whole thegreatest number of persons
was employed in all manufacturing
industries in the month -of November.
In Jenuary the number employed
was only 88.6 per cent of the number
employed in November. This does
not mean that only 11 per cent of the
employable in manufacturing indus
tries were unemployed in January,
1909. The percentage was much larger
since there is a considerable army of
unemployed even in those months when
employment Is at its highest point.
"The irregularity of employment in
the state of Oregon for all manufac
turing industries is much greater
than that for the United States as a
whole. Twenty-five per cent more
persons are employed as wage earners

in Oregon in September, the month of
the greatest employmnt for the state,
than in January, the month of least
employment. There are 20 per cent
more employed In Oregon in November
than In January."
Conditions Are Common.
Dr. O'Hara says conditions like
these are common to all large cities.
The problem Is to distribute work the
year around, to find where work is to
be had and let the men who want work
know about it, and to get an adjust
ment between private and public work
that will keep something going ahead
the year around.
But Dr. O'Hara does not believe
public work should be created to give
men something to do. Such a policy
Is economically wrong and Is costly,
he says.
A tentative outline of work has been
prepared.' It deals, first, with the
nature and extent of unemployment,
the distribution of unemployment by
months, according to occupation,
skilled o rtlnskilled; male or female,
married or single, age, nationality.
Under cause of unemployment, the
number quitting voluntarily (by
months), number laid off on account
of lack of work, on account of labor
disputes, on account of disability,
other reasons. ,
Remedies Are Suggested.
Remedies are stated under four
headings: 1. Regularizing public em
pioyment. The state: Amount of
money spent on public works (accord
ing to counties or sections of state);
kinds of work, number of workers;
duration of work, months in which
employed, wages. When are appro
priations available for these public
works? When are the appropriations
used up? To what extent can the
different kinds of work be shifted to
other seasons when the amount of un
employment is usually greater.
Regularizing private employment
statistics of unemployment by indus
tries, by months. In which Industry
is it possible to shift work to period
of greater unemployment?
Work which can be suitably under
taken by state or private initiative
to relieve unemployment; wood yards,
clearing land, location of suitable land,
irrigation, other kinds of work.
Better organization of employment
agencies; classification of agencies,
evil practices, if any; degree Of effi
ciency, possibilities to be expected
from reorganization and improved, pub
lic control.
The American Association for Ishr
Legislation has already performed Im
portant service, says Dr. O'Hara. It
drove out the manufacture of poison
ous matches. It worked definitely on
workmen's compensation and factory
Inspection laws. It is now looking
into the question of social insurance.
The meetings of the Oregon com
mittee are to be held every week.
