Jurisdiction Xs wide. The Jurisdiction of the circuit court of appeals for this circuit is the most extensive in the United States and embraces the states of California, Oregon, Washington, Montana, Idaho, Nevada, Arizona and the territories of Alaska and Hawaii, and also the United States circuit court for China, created by the act of June 80. 1906, under which act United States courts are now held at Shanghai. Canton, Tientsin and Hankau. Under the Judicial code the three circuit Judges, Gilbert, Ross and Mor row, are designated tbe permanent judges of the circuit court of appeals, and in addition to acting as such Judges they still retain the power, , with which they were originally In vested, to sit as judges with circuit court powers throughout the Ninth circuit, and are also given" the power to hold the district court whenever .public Interest requires. , Under this code the three cincult Judges can now devote their time almost exclusively to the labors of the circuit court of appeals as appellate judges, thus ex pediting the constantly increasing business of the court.

SCIENC MEETING COMMENCED AT REED 75,000 EXPECTED TO STRIKE N SYMPATHY WITH N. Y. CARMEN 20,000 Longshoremen Ex pected to Quit; 25,000 Ma chinists to Go Out by Night BOYCOTT ALSO PLANNED Resolution B commands That Men Wnose Xrftbor Keeps Traction Oars Banning- Quit Work At One. New Tork, Sept. 18. (U. P.) A sympathetic strike which union lead ers declare will result In 75.000 work ers leaving their Jobs In support of the striking employes of the traction companies, became effective In New York before noon today. Twenty thousand longshoremen and boatmen were expected to be the first workers to respond to the strike call. Labor leaders declared that these men will be followed by 25,000 machinists, who will strike before night.. Several of the unions affected de layed balloting until late today or tomorrow but union leaders declared they were certain to Join those already on sympathetic strike. By the end of next week, unless there is a change In the traction strike situation, 'union men predict thou sands of others will be out. They will include men employed in all Indus tries contributing to the production of power for the transportation lines and may spread to Include painters, car penters and similar workmen, It is declared. New Tork, Sept. 16. U. P.) Driving against the "Morgan inter ests" which they charge are opening a general fight against unionism In the present transit strike, the Central Federated Union of New York today submitted to Individual unions, recommendations for a sympathetic strike and for a boycott of subway, elevated and surface cars. The resolution adopted recommends "as a preliminary to the general strike'' that longshoremen, boatmen, teamsters, engineers, firemen and plumbers, whose labor Is keeping the traction cars running, stop work Im mediately. "We guarantee to support them to the end," the resolution said. Xnterborouga Has Coal Enough. "If they call out trade unions It won't affect us. We have large sup plies of coal in store and can get more," was the reply of President Shonts of the Interborough to the strike threat. Using the argument that "the Mor gan Interests" are determined to crush unionism, six trades unions already have authorized their leaders to call strikes at their discretion, according to one report today. The machinists' i union, with 20,000 members, has or dered a referendum vote on the strike, it is said, and longshoremen are scheduled to meet tomorrow at 1 o'clock for a similar vote. Police reports today showed 37 per sons injured and two men killed on traction lines affected by the strike in the last 24 hours. Thirty-two were Injured In a rear-end collision on the same line at Fifty-third street when a train driven by a strikebreaker struck a train standing at the station there. May Call General Strike. Preliminary plans, on which the unions affected are voting today, pro vide for strikes involving about 80,001 men. These strikes are intended to tie up the traction lines by cutting oft their power through shortage of fuel, walkouts of engineers and bringing about strikes among all workmen en gaged In labor contributing to opera tion of the lines. ' If this does not have the desired effect a general strike affecting 700,000 workers both men and women In Greater New York Is contemplated. To meet this threat em ployers are said to be laying plans to bring charges of criminal conspiracy against leaders who call or encourage sympathetic strikes. Police Patrol Buildings. Police patrols have been established along the roofs of buildings on Ninth avenue, but despite this trains were bombarded with bricks, bottles and stones early today. One woman was seriously injured. The bodies of two men were found on the tracks of elevated lines early today. A trackwalker found the body of a laborer on the Third avenue ele vated but had no Idea of how he came to his death. The second body was found badly mangled on the Eighth avenue elevated. He was Identified by a health certificate on his body as Anthony Rltt, a cook employed by a firm of strikebreakers. Clash on Broadway. The first strikers' clashes on Broad way were reported to the police today. Cars were held up and stoned and a call for reserves was necessary to dis perse the crowds. . Announcement of the sympathetic strike order was fol lowed by much minor disorder In many parts of the city. The police prepared today to estab lish district camp throughout the city. Camp equipment will be brought up from Staten island. This equip ment will Include stoves and complete kitchen outfits, as longshoremen in previous strikes have threatened to call out waiters in restaurants serving the police along the waterfront and make the food situation acute for the officers. RAILROAD CONTENDS IT IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FORtaREAT CONGESTION (Con tinned From Page One.) days of heavy shipment, of freight congestion at eastern ports and of in terruptions to traffic in the Panama canal. Discussing the case of the Ewanna I Box company of Klamath Falls, which has lodged complaint with the publio service commission that the railroad was informed months sgo of its an ticipated car needs and had disregard ed the information, Mr. Scott declared th . . . . the box company is oming Into court with hands . very much soiled. Used Befrlgerator Cars for Snooks. When the car situation be lO vJ" .Ww ?fnti "Wswator cars to ' wm-ju 'i. m ioaa oox snooxs, -j he said. "That was during a time of neavy demand ror these cars to move the fruit crop. 'But we believed, by getting the box shooks out of the way promptly in these refrlg-eratora. we could reload at a point where other cars were available and release the refrigerators for fruit shipment again. So jre notified ail the shippers of our Intentions and .asked that, to get the cars Into use as Quickly as possible, they be loaded on Sunday. All the shippers except the Ewanna company loaded on Sunday. Coopera tion between shippers and railroad will help out the situation and, I am sorry to say, we do not always get that cooperation. "Cant Grt Hold of Cars." Mr. Scott said that the Southern Paclfio has all the cars It needs but can't get hold of them. Three thou sand new cars are now being manufac tured and the first of these should be gin to arrive from the east early in October. They are being sent ahead as commercial freight, and cannot be diverted en route for general freight business. "Another thing one should consider in estimating the extent of the car shortage,' said Mr. Scott, "is that the I habit of the shipper is to ascertalu i about how many cars he will need ' I and order two or three times that number, hoping in that way to get about enough. So If you take the shippers' figures, you will get the idea that the shortage Is much more seri ous than it is." Eastern XJnee Hard Pressed. The operating chief said the com pany has been trying to get cars from other roads, and is bending every en ergy toward getting back to its own lines the cars that belong there. Thla, however, he said. Is very hard, becauso the eastern lines are hard put also, and are loath to let go of cart., which they need In their daily business. Mr. Sproule said no new construc tion U in contemplation, although sev eral matters are under consideration for subsequent work If earnings con tinue. Among these is the Natron cutoff, which is now partly built, a little at each end. Electrification of the west side line from Whiteson to Corvallie, is to be completed, however. The officials will remain In this ter ritory for several days. This after noon they were guests of John B. Yeon in an automobile trip over the Co lumbia river highway, accompanied by several local officials of the company. LUMBER INDUSTRY IS DEMORALIZED SAY LUMBER MILL OWNERS (Con tinned From Page One.) cars are received to haul the lumber eway. Box factory Closes Sown. The Ewauna Box -company at Klam ath Falls, which has been striving for : weeks to get cars to save it from being j forced to the wall, has been forced to i shut down at last. One hundred and 1 Bfven-two of their employes were I thrown out of employment. It reported J to the public service commission that 1 it has 130 carloads of box snooks on hand, and its customers in the Califor- nia fruit districts are also suffering i because they depended on It for their ' fruit boxes. j Reports to the public service com-1 mission, dated yesterday, shew that only 20 empty cars were received at Ashland by the Southern Pacific in the preceding 24 hours. This was the smallest number received In one day since July 10. 1 Unfilled car orders on file with the Southern Pacific, according to the last ' report to the public service commis sion, totaled 1747. Mr. Donaldson pointed out that a car shortage is experienced on the Southern Pacific every year, but the present one is the worst since 1907. The only year the lumbermen have not had to worry about getting enough cars was in 1914, he said, when there was practically no business. Says Orders Are Befused. "The lumbermen have to stand those lean years," said Mr. Donaldson, "and how can they ever have fat years If they have no facilities for getting their output to market." It is practically impossible at this time, he said, to estimate the loss the lumbermen are suffering from the car shortage. They are unable to accept all orders offered them and are now unable to deliver the orders they have accepted and hundreds of men are be ing forced out of employment. ASSOCIATION POINTS OUT EFFECTS OF CAR SHORTAGE IN REPORT Effect of the .shortage of ears Is shown in every phase of the lumber market for the past week, according to the weekly report of the West Coast Lumbermen's assocatlon. It says: "Shipping- figures are etrongly Influ enced by the car shortage In Oregon territory, where shortage of rail ship ping facilities caused a number of the mils to close for three or four days. "Curtailed production, restricted or ders and handicapped shipping resulted in a decidedly disappointing week in lumber. "As compared with the previous week orders were 11,000,000 feet and shipments 13,760,000 feet short. Pro duction fell back to 8.65 per cent be low normal. "Prices held firmly on all items ex cept No. 2 V. Q. fir flooring and on dimension lumber in which slight weakness developed. "Lumbermen generally look for normal fall buying and regard the cur rent week's depression merely as a temporary setback, likely to be offset In the volume and extent of next week's business. "One hundred and seventeen mills participate In the week's summary of lumber industry conditions as reported by the West Coast Lumbermen's asso ciation. Normal production for these mills at this season of the year would have been 70,792.555 feet. However, the production was only 64,742,066 feet, or 6,050,500 feet less than normal. Orders were below actual produc- J tion 14.62 per cent, or 9,401.228 feet: ana below normal production 21.83 per cent, or 15,451,728 feet. "Shipments were 13.4 per cent below actual production. This Is equivalent to 8.688,300 fet. As compared with normal production, shipments were off 29.82 per cent, or 14,738,800 feet. "Shipments exceeded orders by 712, 928 feet, or 1.27 per cent. "The transcontinental trade showed unexpected weakness in volume, though the price level held without further decline. Orders were 658 cars short of the previous week's report and shipments were 242 cars short. Recall Petition in Potic. Salem, Or.. Sept. 1C. Recall petitions have been prepared for G. A. Wells and W.

Mayor Albee has Introduced before the city council an ordinance which, if passed, will allow each owner S10 a month for oil, gaso line, tires, etc. Action on the meas ure is expected Wednesday. There are employes in ail depart ments who own their own cars. Some of them have preferred to use them rather than ride on the streetcars on tickets furnished by the city. In the health bureau there are two or three privately owned machines used in making calls on which the city has allowed amounts ranging upward to 835 a month. These cars are the larg est private machines in the city's service. In the fire bureau several of the men owning small cars have used them in city work and received oil and gasoline. With the exception of the cars In the health bureau the pri vately owned machines are small. It Is contended that if the city al lows each city employe $10 a month for his machine that many not using their cars will put them in use, that the oil, gasoline, tires, etc., will be paid for by the city. Mayor Albee says that the city should furnish machines to those who now use their own in the city's serv ice Instead of allowing a certain amount each month for their use. "As you know," said the mayor to day, "I am opposed to the plan of hav ing the city employes use their own cars in the city's service. The city should furnish them with automobiles. As long as it does not and employes use their own machines they should be paid something for their use." TO CHANGE BUDGET SYSTEM New Plan Designed to Keep Check On Expenses. A change Is to be made in the budget making system of the city as result of a meeting of the city commissioners with W. R. Mackenzie, public account ant, this morning. Under the new plan appropriations are to be made for the purpose for which they are to be ex pended rather than in lump Bums. In this way a perfect check can be had on all accounts. In the fire bureau under the pres ent system a lump sum is allowed for salaries and for supplies and materials. With the new system a certain amount will be allowed for each engine com pany, then this amount will be segre gated as to salaries, equipment and maintenance for that company. In this way the exact amount needed to run a certain engine house and company can be ascertained without going through 10 or 12 accounts. The system would apply to all departments alike. A meeting of the commissioners and chief clerks in charge of budget prep arations is to be held and the new system explained. The budget esti mates are to be in the hands of Com missioner Bigelow before October I. VEHICLE PARKING PLAN UP City Commissioners to Decide tho Question in a Few Days. Whether or not for hire vehicles are to be parked in the middle of the downtown streets or against the curbs la to be decided within a few days by the city commissioners.

The commissioners had several ma chines park In the middle of the street today for an experiment. Tomorrow strips are to be painted in the middle of the street for the guidance of ma chines parked there. A week's trial probably will be given the scheme.

The United States' only present ac tion in the far east problem will be a demand upon Japan, presented through American Ambassador Guth-1 rle, for a complete statement of Its intentions with regard to the demands upon China. 1 It was learned in official circles to day that Secretary of State Lansing is unwilling to begin a serious contro versy with Japan while the United States is Involved in numerous dif ficulties arising from the European war.
