"It Is practically assured that peace

clared Madsen. "We have assurance
from enough employers to swing the
bajance of power our way. The em
ployers can afford to pay what we are
asking, and the bringing of equal con
ditions all over the coast will mean a
big help to everybody.
"You will remember that the people
of Portland have been promised this
equality for a number of years and no
one is more, glad to see them get It
than I am."
Beyond an effort on the part of thf
Columbia Contract company to load

was no excitement. Excellent police

which the dock force unloaded slowly.
No other vessel worked.

San Francisco, June 6. (P. N. S.)
At" the eleventh hour, prospects of a
settlement of the longshoremen's strike

given the 4000 strikers that the em

to resume work with nonunion labor

The unions received an offer from
the operators of the paper boats of $50

three months' continuous service.
It was believed on the waterfront
that the unions would accept this and
possibly compromise with the passen

is admitted to be much harder than the
straight freight and passenger runs.
However, no action will be taken un

About th rortr Just Vow.
Paris, June 5. (I. N. S.) Violent
German assaults with liquid fire last
night against a position around Fort j
Vaux were repulsed, according to to- j
day's official communique. The Qer- i
mans are keeping up a continuous bom- !
bardment of French positions we&t of
the Meuse. I
At an appalling cost, the crown
prince has regained the hillock spur i
which he had taken before and lost,
where only shell made tree stumps,
sawdust and splinters remain of the !
erstwhile Caillette wood. 1
The Germans are still fighting
hand-to-hand with grenades around
he famous "Vaux ravine, which the
poilus" call "the ravine of death."
and the Vaux pond, called "the pond.
of corpses" because it is filled with.
German dead. i
Every position Clearly Sees.
An artillery officer, who evacuated
the day before yesterday, said to me:
"The Caillette wood hillock is so
clearly within the view of our bat
teries that we fire on it with the same ;
ease with which we put our food into
our mouths. Every big shell crater is
known to the inch. Keeping it will be
costlier to the Germans even than re-
capturing it." !
The ravine, pond and Vaux village
were only retaken after being previous- I
ly taken and lost. The Saxon division, I
after two unsuccessful attempts, scaled I
tne northern slope leading to Fort
Vaux, which the Germans reached but
lost on March 9. The Prussian di- i
vision, avoiding the fort, which was
honeycombed with French machine
guns, attempted to outflank the fort -o
the eastward, but the French counter
attacks saved the position from encir
clement. Height Heeded to See.
The ground here is so cut up ar.d
deeply ravined that in many places
s.ght has been lost of the advancing
host. Thus the problem of Verdun is
one of seeing.
The bottoms of the ravines and hol
lows are simply stuffed with guns, but
the occupation of heights as observa
tories from which to direct the fire is
necessary. Whoever sees can destroy
his opponents. That is why the Ger
mans are lavishing brigades and di
visions to capture Fort Vaux from
which the deepest hollows and ravines
where the artillery is hidden can be
seen.
To the terrific precision of the
French artillery credit is due the in
valuable Vaux observatory, from
which the German cantonments, re
serves and supply trains can be
shelled with accuracy and without
respite.
British and French Repulsed.
Berlin, June 5. (I. N. 6.) Repulse
of British and French attacks at va-
rious points between Ypres and Vaux
was announced in today's official state-
ment from the German general staff. I
The statement Indicates a strong
French offensive is in progress and
declares that fighting is continuing
with undiminished ferccity and ter
rific losses.
The text follows:
"British attacks southeast of Tpres :
broke down under our artillery fire, i
'Feeble attacks by th French, after '
gas preparation, in tne region or
Prunay, Champagne, failed. West of
the Meuse our artillery achieve good .

'French infantry tried to advance
west of Haucourt-Ksnes road, but was
repuisea. i
'East of the Meese the fighting
between Caillette forest and Damloup
is continuing with undiminished vio
lence. Enemy infantry In great masses
tried to regain positions which we
had conquered. A mighty effort at
Cumieres ridge, southwest of the vil
lage of Vaux and in the districts to
the southeast, was repulsed with enor
mous losses.

"The first warning came just aftr
o'clock in the afternoon, when we
got the order which sends every man
to his post for action. Then there ws
a very trying time of waiting. At last
the word went round that Admiral
Beatty's flagship, the Lion, which was '
leading our line, had signaled that thej
enemy was in sight and it was no j

"The Germans outnumbered us, but
that would not have mattered if they
had not also had the benefit of the
better position. For a good part of
the battle the sun made it difficult
to sight our guns on their ships.
They could see us, but we could hard

"I saw two or three other ships

SINK QUEEN MARY, IS
EDINBURGH ACCOUNT
Edinburgh, June 6. (I. X. S.) The
Scotsman prints the following graphic
story:
The Queen Mary went down in the.
thick of the action. The men who haVe
returned say she Tought at close range
a German battleship and while her
great guns were busy with the more
powerful and better protected German
ships, one oi the Kaiser's super Zeppe
lins was hovering over her, showering
her with bombs in an attempt to find
a vital spot.
As busy as she was with her heavy
guns, the Queen Mary kept her anti-
air guns going. The story is that the
Zeppelin was shot down in a blazing
mass, fell close to the ship, exploded
and was destroyed.
Big Explosion on Queen Mary.
At the same time the Queen Mary
received two terrific broadsides, one
from the ship which she had been
fighting and which is said to have
gone down subsequently, and one from
another German ship. From the lat-
ter a snot .belched which reached her
magazine. There was a great explo
sion and within six minutes she went
down.
The other losses, 16 is understood,
for the most part were due to gun
fire from ships of greater gunpower
and heavier armor at close range.

Score of Snip Fire at Tiger
The Lion was where the fignt was
hottest, excepting once, when there
was a concentrated fire upon tlie Tiger
such a volume of fire as few vessels
have ever experienced an$ survived.
The sudden alteration of the German
course as their struggle to escape be
gan threw the mighty Tiger unr'er the
fire of over a score of ships. The or
deal lasted for 10 minutes, and the
marvel is that the Tiger should have
steamed back to port.

impotent during the war. That object,

The British fleet was victorious.

"No German naval units were lost

The German press continues its en
thusiastic comment on the naval vic
tory. Captain von Kushl wetter, the naval
expert, writing in the Ix)kal Anzeiger,
the semi-official organ, says:
"The German success gives the death
blow to the Anglo-Saxon Idea that
Great Britain is ruler of the seas."

patches from points on the east coast
state that several vessels which were
engaged in the naval battle have
come into port, their shell torn hulls
telling an eloquent tale of their
strenuous experience.
Officers and men freely remarked
"It was hot work," but no details

bui Must B Transacted.
Who is going to call the Republican
state central committee together for
the election of a chairman and other
officers is a question arousing tiome
speculation. State Chairman C. V..
Moores is not in the city, having gono
to his son's ranch near Kennewlck for
a vacation. K. D. Baldwin, secretary
of the committee, is private secretary
to Congressman Sinnott and is at
Washington, and Harvey Wells, treas
urer of the committee, is insurance
commissioner.
Section 3506 of Lord's Oregon laws,
being one section of the corrupt prac
tices act, says: '"No holder of ;t

It is contended by lawyers that this
section of the law Inhibits both Mr.
Baldwin and Mr. Wells from serving
as members of the state central com
mittee, or any other political com
mittee, and that by the same token
neither of them can serve a officers
of the state central committee. It has
been suggested that Mr. Wells call the
committee to meet during the present

call would not be legal because tha i Always bear

it is whispered about that even
