PREDICTS HOUSE CLEANING
Conditions in Enffla&d Subject of Ad
dress by Jr. J. W. SUaffhtar, of
London, Dslirsrsd Z,mt Xiffht.
The Central Labor Council last
TJight at the Labor Temple transacted
routine business rapidly until 8:30,
when it received Mrs. Mary Fels. of
Philadelphia. Dr. J. V Slaughter, of
London, England, and Daniel Keifer,
of Cincinnati, Ohio. A large number
W. S. U'Ren introduced the guests
nd called attention to the Fels fund
having helped in 1910 to retain the
power of the people in their hands
taen the associated privileges of Ore
gon ' made a combined attack upon
statement No. 1. the direct primary,
the liability law, the initiative and
referendum and other progreseLve
measures before the electorate.
Had Wo Trouble With Employee.
Mrs. Fels told of her late husband,
Joseph Fels, seeking to deal Justly
by the working people in his employ,
and of giving them money in wages so
that they could get what they wanted
for themselves, and not be the re
cipients of charity. He helped in se
curing conditions at home before he
went outside, and never had a strike,
never had a walkout, or a lockout
among his employes, nor any trouble
with them because he welcomed them
to organize and paid them more than
any other trade worker in those lines
received in other places.
In turn, she eaid, Joseph Fels sought
the reason for poverty among the
workers by securing city lots for the
poor to work on, by getting training
stations for city men to learn how to
farm on, and by getting land for the
trained workers to go back to, and
everywhere and every time, she said,
he found the landlord and the land
speculator capitalized what was done
and pocketed the proceeds. It was the
same in England as in America.
"Ask Kelr Hardy, of England, or the
iartara of labor in Philadelphia," she
c .' i .4 "arwl unit wilt find Mr. Fels was i
all the time backing up labor.
Mrs. Fels spoke slowly, and re
quested that Dr. Slaughter be allowed
to speak for her on the solution of the
labor problem which Joseph Fela
found.
Conditions la England, Described.
Dr. Slaughter was introduced by Mr.
U'Ren as an American born and reared,
who looked, talked and acted like an
Englishman. He proved up to the de
scription. Dr. Slaughter told of con
ditions in England, and of the strug
gles of the people of England in the
present war because of commercial
traitors at home who. raised the price
of necessities of life without Justifica
tion. He said that coal companies that
declared dividends of 8 per annum
before the war were now declaring div
idends of 9 every three months and
that milling companies were doing as
well, while the people had to pay from
60 to 100 more for bread and coal.
He declared that the working people
were rallying to the colors by millions.
and that they could not be armed as
fast as they offered themselves for
their country. The property holding
classes, he said, conspired to have all
progressive legislation throttled. He
Justified the strikers who asked for
an increase in wages of the grasping
shipyard contractors and the coal com
panies. The solution of the industrial
difficulties, he said, lay in increasing
the tax on land values now levied until
from the present penny in the pound
of capitalized values lit went to 20
shillings in the pound (100 per cent).
Predicts Big House Cleaning'.
"When the war is over then there
will be a house cleaning,' declared Dr.
Slaughter.. He predicted the establish
ment of better conditions in Europe for
the working people. "Democracy will
be on the move in Europe," he said,
' "when these wars are over."
Dr. Slaughter spoke of the exactions
of the" shipping trust in England to
day, and urged his hearers to support
the shipping bill of President Wilson,
so that in the future the people of the
United States would not be compelled
In the stress of calamity of any kind
to be at tne mercy of a shipping trust.
His remarks were received with cheers.
TThis great northwest of yours is
free to advance if it wants to," he
said. "It is not bound down by a
thousand traditions, and an established
aristocracy."
He spoke of the British parliament
as a "vaudeville show," and said work-
from the trusts reposed in them "by
being wined, and dined, and cigarred
Into being respectable. Liberals per
. haps, but not workingmen after a few
months of respectability."
Very' shortly after the open speak
ing, the Council went into executive
session, chiefly to consider the situa
tion regarding the Musician's trouble
with the theatres and motion picture
houses.
itching skins
When you know physicians have prc
. scribed Resinol for 20 years in the treat
ment of itching, burning:, unsightly skin
i eruptions, and have written thousands
of reports such as: "It is my regular
prescription for itching," "Resinol has
'produced brilliant results," and "The
result it gave was marvelous in one of the
worst cases of eczema," doesn't it make
you say to yourself, "that's the. right
kind of treatment for my skin-trouble?

President Thanks Brazilian.
Washington, Aug. 21. (I. N. S.)
President Wilson today personally
thanked Brazilian Minister Olievera
for his efforts in Mexico' in behalf of
the United States. They, with Secre
tary of State Lansing, today discussed
every phase of the Mexican situation.
It was understood that Olievera voiced
no recommendations, but merely re
cited ths difficulties he experienced in
carrying out the wishes of the state
department.
In the event of General Carranza
refusing to participate In the peace
conference suggested by the United
States, Olievera, It was believed, will
attend the next meeting of Latin
American diplomats with Secretary of
State Lansing.
Obregon Refuses to Confer.
Washington, Aug. 21. (I. N. S.)
General Alvarido Obregon has backed
up General Carranza' s refusal to parti
cipate in a peace conference of the
several Mexican factions suggested by
the American government, according
to authentic advices received here to
day. General Obregon's stand was an
nounced :vt the Carranza agency here.
He stated that General Carranza was
sole ruler of Mexico and announced his
intention of standing by him to the
end.
It was believed that another confer
ence between Secretary of State Lan
sing and the Latin-American diplo
mats would be held here soon.
Hard to Reach Carranza,
Washington, Aug. 21. (U. P.) If
the administration succeeds in ousting
General Carranza from his position as
the dominant factor in Mexico, at
least for some time, offical circles will
b surprised, thAse well informed on
the Mexican situation confessed today.
There is no doubt that he will di
rectly defy the American republics'
conference to interfere with the Car
ranza regime after establishing his
headquarters in Mexico City. Military
experts say it would be out of the
question to reach Carranza at Mexico
City with the troops at the disposal
of the United States, and at all events
the Latin-American powers would op
pose such a step.
The prospects of a rival government,
recognized by outside powers making
headway against Carranza, are believed
to be fading. It seems more likely
that the Latin-American countries will
oppose "the first chief." This would
make it harder for the United States
to enforce an arms embargo against
him, and the rival elements in Mexico
are also disintegrating. ,

BULL RING IS DISCUSSED
journal Representative Shown Thror-gh
State Ienltentiary Improvemant
' Pointed Out.
Salem, Or., Aug. 21. Warden Minto,
of the state prison, denied yesterday
afternoon that there was any intention
on bis part to return to brutal methods
in vogue in the Institution several
years ago. It was his contention that
his treatment '" of inmates 'was more
lenient, if anything, than that accorded
by his predecessor. - .
The warden showed a Journal re
porter all over the prison and pointed
out improvements he said had been
made since he had taken charge a few
months ago. The dungeon was used
in cases of three prisoners who had
been guilty of serious infractions of
the prison rules, several prisoners
were walking ceaselessly around the
"bull ring," a circle of about an eighth
of a mile in the prison, yard, and two
convicts were in stripes . for murder
ously assaulting fellow-prisoners, but
that was the. visible extent of unusual
punishment accorded them.
Violated Thei Paroles.
The men In the "bull ring" were men
who had violated their paroles, ac
cording to the warden, who explained
that he made them walk eight hours
daily in order that It might be a warn
lng to other convicts who wouia
be
turned loose.
When the . big bathroom was
reached, the warden showed where men
were "hosed" years ago. The chains
are still there, but the warden declared
that he never proposed to use them
OAiring his administration.
In one section of the yard Is what
is known as the "bullpen." an enclo
sure of brick. When Warden Minto
took charge, he stated yesterday, there
were seven men in the enclosure,
where they were kept isolated from
all others as a punishment for infrac
tions of the prison rules. They were
said to.be hard characters who were
beyond control when allowed to mingle
with the other prisoners. Minto as-
. . iv.i t . a a Vi a .AOAn mit vmvA

thm n heart-to-heart talk and five of
them have been working in flax fields
and elsewhere, while the other two have
been employed within the walls. None
has been returned to close confine
ment, he said, and the "bullpen" has
not since been used.
In the prison theatre, also used as a
chapel, an orchestra of the institution
was practicing, and Warden Minto ex
plained that they were permitted to
practice four hours daily.
The establishment of a , thoroughly
organized commissary under J- Mc
Glyn, has resulted in a considerable
saving to the Institution, it was as
serted. Wornout clothing must be re
turned before new is issued, and it was
stated that no clothing was considered
valueless unless It was beyond mend
ing.
rUled With Flax.
The big foundry is partially filled
with flax, and the retting machinery,
which will give employment to a por
tion of the prison's population, will
soon be installed.
There were three men in the dun
geon, sometimes called the "black
hole." In this connection it was stated
positively that the dungeon had been
used by Colonel Lawson.
Whenever a convict has any m
plalnt to make, or wishes to see War
den Minto. he is permitted to do so. ac
cording to the warden. In most pris
ons the convict must make an appoint
ment, he said. "They are free to come
to me at any time," declared Minto
Positive denial was made by the
warden that . the whipping post had
been revived, or would be used during
his incumbency. He declared that not
a convict had been struck a blow since
he took charge.
Chaplains are again permitted to
have conferences with the prisoners it
was stated, the rule established by the
warden having been abrogated after
consideration, by the board of control.

San Francisco, Aug. 21. -(P. N. S.)
In order to insure Us safety from a
resting place at the bottom of the seas
included in the" "war lone," England Is
sending more than $18,000,000 In gold
from Sydney, Australia, to help pay
her munitions bill In this country.
There is $75,000,000 In gold In Syd

"For agricultural purposes,"
said Congressman McDuffia, in
1842, "I would not give a pinch
of snuff for the whole territory."
The learned gentleman was re
ferring to Oregon yet, it has
since been said that there is
scarcely a grain, fruit, vegetable,
grass, tree, plant or flower that
grows in the United States or
Europe which cannot, on some
portions of the soil of Oregon,
be raised to perfection.
Which is cited to prove that
even Congressmen are not al
. ways right.
The equable climate of Ore
gon, and the rich soil of her
splendid valleys make her one of
our best agricultural States, but
for further details in that, partic
ular, we must refer you to the
government reports. Our space
is limited and Oregon's products
are quite the contrary.
-All we can hope to accom
plish here is to suggest some
few of Oregon's opportunities to
expand her trade and industries
through advertising.
Take salmon, for Instance.
The magnificent Columbia River
is the greatest salmon-producing
stream in all the world. Of this

that Oregonians "eat all they can
and what they can't, they can"
(or tin, as the Englishman
told it).
Thousands of tons of salmon
are annually caught and canned
In Oregon, and since artificial
propagation has been solved
there is little likelihood of a
falling off in the supply.
And, mind you, this Columbia
river salmon is the finest obtain
able yet nothing has been done
to proclaim its superior merits
through advertising. That's
where Oregon has neglected
real opportunity.

well to heed some of the suggestions herein. If Ore
gon's resources were properly advertised, the benefits
derived would mean much to the state.

Oregon
one of the most nutritious of
all edibles the housewife has
never been taught to call for it
by a first name. She asks for a
can of salmon, and she gets it
whether it is the best salmon
she can buy she has no way of
knowing. t
Now, there are lots of salmon
canned in Washington and Alas
ka and Maine more in Wash
ington, really, than in Oregon
but if the Oregon canners will
put the advertising behind their
salmon, they can make It the
standard with trade and con
sumer. We should like the opportu
nity to discuss their advertising
possibilities with some of Ore
gon's salmon canners.
We also see a great opportu
nity for Oregon canned vegeta
bles and fruits, fresh and dried.
We haven't said a word about
Oregon's noble forests and her
great lumber industry. We
haven't touched on her great
mineral wealth, nor her wonder
ful stock-raising achievements?
we can only devote a line to her
practically unlimited water
power for the driving of great
manufactories; we could write a
book on her attractions for
home-seekers
It is only our purpose to let
her know that we appreciate her
for the great state she is; that
we have carefully studied her
possibilities, and that " we are
eagerly ready to help her people
with the kind of advertising
which will bring her to the man
ufacturing eminence to which
she is so justly entitled.
With her superior natural en
dowments, if the Northwest bad
been settled first, she would
have flourished even better than
the Northeast, and with aggres
sive advertising she still has the
opportunity to overcome th
handicap of'youth.
