DISCUSSED IN BRIEFS Divergent Views Presented to I, C, C, by Southern Rail ways and Manufacturers, HIGHER RATES PROPOSED Im4i Base Bequest on Theory That Manufacture Adds to Coat and In creases Value of Transportation. Washington. Nov. 25. (WASHING TON BUREAU OF THE JOURNAL.) In the contentions of the West Coast Lumbermen's association and other Pa cific coast lumber Interests on the one hand and of the southern and Missis sippi railroad lines on the other, the Interstate Commerce commission has before it radically different view as to difference! in rates on rough and finished lumber., "There is no Justification for a dif ference in rates between rough and fin ished lumber by grades." says the brief of the Pacific coast lumbermen. filed by Joseph N. Teal. Rogers Mac Veagh and W. O. McCulloch. "Planed lumber is often worth less than rougu." "Each manufacturing process adds to the cost of production," say the rep resentative!) of the southern lines. "It Increases the value and proportionately increases the value of transportation to the shipper." Higher Bates Proposed. Carrying oi:t the latter theory, the southerners have submitted n detailed list of suggested classifications. In one class it is proponed to add 15 per cent to th lumber rat on shingles poles, stakes, paving blocks and nu merous other articles, and in another to add 6 per cent on such products as basket bottoms, box material, croos arms, flooring, grain loors, dressed poies, fciuKCH ana ihiii. There also appears a difference of view as to the practicability of uni form classification. The brief for the western men savs the present classifi cations are generally satisfactory, and the country In too vast for an absolute ly 'inifonn classification, so no uni versal rule can well be applied to ull "cases. The southerners say that uniformity is practicable as to the great bulk of the traffic, though they would not be willing to accept lumber rates on cer tain commodities merely because some of the carriers have included them in some of their tariffs. Briefs Are Volnmenous. Each of the briefs comprises a fair sized book. The one filed by Mr. Teal and his associates includes nearly 400 pages. In addition to the west coast invi;itli iuii, liio uiKttiiuitiiunn iri- resented under one cover are the East ern Oregon Lumber Producers' associa tion, the White Pine Manufacturers' association, California White and Sugr Pine association and California. Red wood association. Detailed arguments are presented dealing with lumber and its products, citing facta as to methods of manu facture, changes in traffic conditions, and each of the elements that may be considered in establishing the classifi cations upon which rates are based. where- few hotheads on either side could throw the state into turmoil and perhaps cause bloodshed. The crisis will come when Governor Hatfield's program is fully disclosed and the leg islature, which has Just met, decides how far It wilt try to go. BE LGiANS REPORT O. A C. Case Delayed. Washington, Nov. 25. In ordering the Internationlal Harvester case to the head of Its docket for argument February 26. the supreme court has made it probable that the Oregon & California land grant case, set for the same day, will not be reached on that da. it Is understood that one other case will be on the call ahead of the land grant case. The International Har vester fracas, which comes on for rear gument, is one of the biggest cases before the court, and will probably be allowed liberal time for argument. The land grant matter is to be heard on the government's motion for a writ of certiorari to bring the entire record here from the court of appeals, in order that the full effect of recent leg islation may be brought up for decision. "Honey Wagons" and Teas Do Not Mix Portland Heights People Object to Collection of Garbage During Mid afternoon; Charges Bxoesstre. Portland Heights residents do not want garbage wagons to operate in the district during the afternoons, espe cially during the hours that after noon teas are being held, neither do they want to be discriminated against by charges made for garbage collec tion. The residents held an Indignation meeting in the Portland Heights club last night and appointed Henry Boyd, 8. Ii. Huston, Roy K. Terry. G. A. (irlswold and A. B. Slauson members of a committee to place the grievances of the heights residents before the city council. Resolutions adopted, urging the city council to adopt ade quate legislation, favored a municipal garbage collection system. Will H. Daly, commissioner of public utilities, has introduced a measure before the city council providing for a vote of the people on a municipal garbage col lection system. The residents of the heights contend that they are charged more for garbage rollection than residents in other parts of the city. Under present laws gar bage wagons may operate In any sec tion of the city except the business section any hour of the day or night. Roseburg to Observe New Building Day Roseburg, Or., Nov. 25.

SAY TEUTONS TRY TO PAUPERIZE THE LAND Germans Deport Able-Bodied Workers and Requisition All Materials, Is Charge, SITUATION GROWS GRAVE When Hot Compelled to Han Munition Plants Conscripts Are Sent to the Trenches. Washington, Nov. 25. (U. P.) Vo luminous details of alleged "atrocities" practiced by German military officials in charge of the deportation of Bef gians to Germany 'are contained in a second memorandum filed with Secre tary Lansing today by Minister Paven ith of Belgium. The memorandum is much longer than the first and is based on reports received by the embassy for tiie Belgium provincial capital. The text follows: "The situation in Belgium becomes more and more terrible every day. The rounding up of able-bodied Belgians is now being carried on throughout the country. "When not compelled to work In Germany in munition factories, they are sent to occupied France and made to build trenches and strategic rail ways. The Germans announce that tney will deport 350,000 Belgians. "Requisitions continue with the avowed object of ruining the country's Industries. All materials which could be of use to the Germans are carried off by them. All other materials are sold at ridiculously low prices. "The governor general has declared to the New York, Times that the de portations are made without any com plaint from those deported."

With an Increase of 23 per cent in the deposits of his bank, the Forest Grove First National. J. A. Thorn burgh, president of the institution, says that Washington county was never so prosperous as at the present time. "Farmers of our section," says Mr. Thornbtargh, "have not only had excel lent crops as a rule this season, but they have secured unusually favorable prices. "The milk condensary at Forest Grove Is working to its full capacity and is unable to fill the demand for the canned product, although at $1.95 per hundred pounds farmers are re ceiving the highest price ever known for their milk. "This huge demand for milk and the extreme prices, have caused farm ers to Improve their herds. They are selling out their poor milkers and are securing better animals." RESULT IN ONE CASE .

West Vir ginia politics grows more heated, with the campaign over, than be fore the election. Voting frauds are charged on both sides Senator Chil ton's friends threaten to contest the election of Representative Sutherland, the Republican who is elected his suc cessor on the face of the returns, and a Republican governor has called a special session of the legislature to deal with the election laws before his Democratic successor comes Into of fice. There is an ominous sound In some of the reports that come from the mountain state, which Is famous for both political and family feuds. One Of the most noted of the feudist fam ilies has a representative at the head of state affairs in the person of Gov ernor Hatfield. Ho Violence Shows Tet. There has been so far no move to ward violence, but bitterness is in creasing. When rival political leaders begin accusing each other of trying to steal the election and the state gov ernment, the situation is not reassur ing. The. present governor and both branches of the legislature are Repub lican. The state went for Hughes after hanging in the balance for some days. The next governor and the next house of representatives will be Dem ocratic, the slate senate remaining Re publican. Democrats Tear Trlekery. Democrats are apprehensive that Governor Hatfield and the Republican leaders are planning to retain control of the government. Some of Senator Chilton's friends have demanded a re count in certain parts of the state, al leging that frauds were committed to prevent Chilton's return to the United States senate. It la recalled that a year or more ' ago extensive prosecutions were begun in one of the West Virginia counties for vote selling. Few, if any, of those prosecutions were successful. They were baaed on grand Jury indictments, under Instructions of a Judge who de clared that affairs were In a bad way. ', Charges Uke In Ohio Cases. The charges were of much the same character as preceded the revelations of political corruption in Adams - county, Ohio, a few years ago, when hundreds of voters came forward and confessed to having sold their votes. The West Virginia situation may settle down without 4rious trouble, but it appears to be reaching a stage Must Quit Union or Lose Their Positions St. Louis, Mo., Nov. 25. (I. N. S.' Seven hundred telegraphers of the Missouri, Kansas & Texas railway sys tem have been offered the alternative of resigning membership in the Order of Railroad Telegraphers, or of losintr their Jobs, according to information announced by officials of the order in St. Louis today. They believe the re puted action of the railroad la in antlcipaticn of a general railroad strike. J. R. McQuade. a local official cf the telegraphers' order, said today he believed a satisfactory settlement wUh the railroad would be reached. Deportation Charges Denied. Amsterdam, Nov. 25. ( U. P.) Ger man advices today strongly deny that any but unemployed Belgians have been deported for employment in German factories. It is explained that If by chance some Belgians who are actually at work have been included in those transported from Belgium, It is be cause Belgian authorities have failed to furnish German officials with proper lists of those unemployed. The German government, it is asserted, has taken "responsible measures" to return those Belgians erroneously deported. The Cologne Gazette denies that Bel gians deported from their country are being used In the manufacture of munitions or in any other war work.

An agreement between govern ment counsel and attorneys represent ing all steam carriers in the country, made with the approval of Attorney General Gregory at Washington, has swept the way clear for an im mediate undisputed decision from the supreme court in the Adamson elght hour law controversy. It was decided that the case of the Missouri. Oklahoma & Gulf railroad should be the only test case and that the government and the railroads should abide by the high court's de cision. The government granted the railroads the right to argue before the supreme court all points and problems they believed the court should pass upon in deciding the constitutionality of the law. All other proceedings are to be de layed in the meantime. The first steps in stopping procedure on all other cases filed by the railroans against the enforcement of the law was taken when Federal Judge John C. Pollock signed an order immediately after the agreement was reached that the cases of the Santa Fe, Union Pacific, Burlington and the Kansas City Ter minal company be continued until the decision of the supreme court in the Missouri.
