fr'and he told us about himself. lie told
fine one thing- that 1 did not know.
fjtnew he was on the payroll of the Port-
hand Railway, Light Sc. Power company,
i but I did not know he had been there
- Tor 20 years. He Is the chairman of the

A, Bailey," Judge McGinn continued,
' Sand; the audience waited In silence as
lha mentioned the name. "He wants' to

, apolitical partner of Jack Iay and of
. PRed' Omadhaun. and if you make him
county commissioner he will b the

Railway, Light & Power company. I
(dont now whether he will be a can

notice now, so that you will know him
If he doe"
Judge McGinn,' in opening , his address
before the largest and moat enthusias
tic audience he has yet addressed oa
the cent fare, said that from the be
ginning of time man has been exploited
by man. The people of Portland, he
contended, had a 5 cent fare contract
with , the Portland Railway, Lignt
Power company until the public service
commission sold them out.
"They were traitors tf us." he chal
lenged. "They betrayed us. But tt Is
the tendency- of public service commls
lons all over the country."
Auditor Toice Their Approval
" "Peace hath her victories no less re
nowned tharvw-war,' ". Judge McGinn
quoted, and continued that the time
Am "to re Deal the public service
commission," at which statement the
auditorium rocked with the applause of
Ma an 1( tor.
"It is not right." he continued, "that
while the boys of Portland are fighting
in the trenches that their fathers ana
mothers should be robbed by the Port

at home."
"Portland is the worst governed city
in the United States." Judge Mcuinn
challenged, and paused to let the audl
hm nuUt Its asnlause. "George L.

r. Llsrht A, Power company. It paid
his election bills when he was city
mmminHioner. It financed hia cam

ing in the office of Lew Cole- It paid
his bell ringers, who went from house
to hnnm in the Interest of his canaiaacy.
and the ox knoweth his owner and the
ass his master's crib.' " And the audi
rirnwned the sneaker's voice In
agreement.
Advises Repeal of Commission Act
Juin McGinn said that he was on
the job" until the Jitneys were back on
the streets of-Portland, the puouc erv
t commislson was thrown into the dia-
card and the power to regulate publW
utilities glven"back Into the hands of the
municipalities. He urged that work .be
commenced at once toward putting the
hill nrovldine for the repeal of the com
mission act on the Novemoer Dauoi ana
oromlsed that if this were accomplished
he would "go Into every nook and cranny
of the state" to preach the gospel of
repeal.
If the men at the city hall had done
their duty," Judge McGinn aald, "if we
had had a mayor Instead oi tne Port
land Railway, Light fc Power, company
in the chair at the city hall, we wouia
not have had a (-cent fare.
Jitney Most Available' Remedy
I am not criticising anybody for dis
agreeing with me," Judge McGinn aald,
"but I .am saying to you, oeorge l.
Baker: You are indicted by the grand
Jury of public opinion, and you
are convicted by tne court oi pun
He opinion. Jointly with Frank
lin T. Griffith, of stealings cop
pers from the pockets of the poor, steal
ing coppers from the fathers and moth
ers of our soldier boys, for Frank Is
stealing the coppers within the law, of
course but stealing them, Just the
same."
The speaker also paid his compliments
to Commlaisoner Mann.
"There is one thing about John M.
Mann I want to. credit him with." h
said. "He doesn't claim to be honest
and when-1 give .him credit for that I
give him credit for every virtue he has
in the world."
The speaker urged the ' audience to
vote for the Jitney ordinance, if submit
ted to the people for their approval May

against the 6-cent fare.

AMARILLY
OF CLOTHES-LINE ALLEY
Brand Newana the Most Amusing Picture "Mary" Has Made
Washington, March (U. P.)
Abandoning its policy of secrecy, the
United States Is about to Join with
Great Britain in frank discussion of the '
submarine menace.
To impress upon the people of this
country the vital necessity of individ
ual and united effort to beat the
U-boat, Chairman Hurley of the ship
ping board has prepared a statement to
follow that of Sir Eric Geddes, first
lord of the British admiralty, before the
house of commons yesterday.
Hurley will openly show the great
tasks before the United States in a
speech next Tuesday in New York
city.
British Bate Is Made' Pablle
Today the British embassy made
public striking figures, carefully com
piled, to show the tremendous inroads
the Germans are making on the world's
shipping. This statement President
Wilson and his "war cabinet" had be
fore thenf yesterday at the long Con
ference in the White House. Most of
that conference was devoted, it was
learned later, to the tonnage problem
facing the world. And apparently it
was agreed Hurley should make a
statement on the serious' work ahead of
the United States, including employers
as well as laborers.
. Figures compiled by experts of the
allied nations show that since the war
began, the total loss in world tonnage,
due to enemy action and marine
risk, is 11,827,572 gross tons, of which
the loss in 1917 was 6,723,623 tons.
Sew Tonnage or 1117
As against this the total output of
world tonnage in the same period was
only 4,606,(76 gross tons, the total for
1917 being 2,703.355 tons.
In addition to the latter the total
enemy vessels captured since the war
began amounted to 8,689,000 gross tons.
The figures given out publicly for
the first time by British admiralty.
"speak for themserves," it is stated.
It is no longer felt necessary to hide
the facts, it is explained. On the
subject of losses, the admiralty "dis
claim any desire to prophesy about so
uncertain a thing as war in its sub
marine phase."
The results of the last year, how
ever, show the ability of our seamen
to get on terms with the submarine
menace and gradually to gain the
upper hand.
Boom Shipbuilding Is Aim
It would be Incorrect, however, to
assume, the admiralty warns, that
losses by submarines will continue to
decrease or that production of merr
chant vessels will continue to increase.
It is emphasised that the publication
at' this time of the. real facts regarding
the U-boat threat is solely to "ensuro
the vigorous cooperation of all con
cerned" in booming building while
"science is placing at our disposal
means of offense and defense of which
we have been in need."
"With both the American and Eng
Hsh' production records for January and
February sadly hampered by bad
weather and other obstacles the Eng-
llsn statement and the forthcoming Hur
ley statement sound an underlying note
of serious warning to shipyard man
agers and workers. The point where
production balances losses will be post
poned to a dangerous extent unless
more speed is shown all around," the
British statement warns frankly. And
besides meeting the constant losses, the
deficit of tonnage for the past must be
made up.
Hurley's Statemeat May Be Surprise
Great Britain is about to Introduce
more unskilled labor, both male and
female, to meet the need for constant
action.
If employers hesitate to play their
part," said the statement of the British.
men anywnere uown tools" or ro
slow for any reason, they are prejudic
ing the vital interests of the comma
nity."
The Hurley statement will offset
much of the over-advertising of Amer
ica s snipbuiiaing plans.
The last two quarters of 1917 showed
a decline in ship losses over the second
quarter, but the figures were higher
man ror any other period except the
lourtn quarter of 1916.
Record of Losses by Tears
Allied and neutral losses In 1915 by

No attempt was made to furnish
statement of the economic loss involved.
but it runs into startling figures, for it

Has No Comeback
Hoquiam, Wash.. March 2i. (I. N.
S.) To suffer a 19000 loss and not
be able to report it to the police or
sheriff is the aad predicament in
which & Hoquiam bootlegger finds
himself today. He had carefully
cached 900 quarts of good whiskey
in the woods 15 miles from here and
expected to draw on it as trade war
ranted. But on a recent visit he
discovered the entire lot had been
stolen and he was out the $4500 he
paid for it and the additional $4500
profit, he expected to realize.

of
Shipyard owners and representatives
of the employes will meet Richard W.
Montague, official wage adjuster for the
federal shipbuilding labor board, at 4
o'clock this afternoon to take up the
question of wages for enginemen and
trainmen at work fn the yards. The
conference will be held in the office of
Mr. Montague in the Yeon building.
The United States shipbuilding labor
adjustment board, headed by Chairman
Macey, did not cover certain phases of
the employment in the yards at its meet
ing in Portland last year to arrange for
a wage agreement. Adjuster Montague
has been authorized to take up .these
unfinished matters with those who nave
been unable to reach an agreement at
the plants affected.
Denial was made yesterday by Richard
W. Montague that Jie had received sum

ation commission to settle at once the
controversy between himself and tne
Metal Trades council on pain t dismis
sal from his post as mediator in the
adjustment of the 1917 shipyard strike.
Such report, published here yesterday,
was branded as totally false. Mr. Mon
tague said the dispute over learners'
and journeymen's wages that has been
going on for some time is being handled
in the regular course of business and
without delay on his parti
The Metal Trades council has asked
for Mr. Montague's dismissal, however,
alleging that he is inclined to the
cause of the employers as against the
shipyard workers. This attitude Mr,
Montague denies."
Position Is Unchanged
Washington. March 21. U. P.) The
United States' position toward Russia
Is unchanged. This government still re

belligerent" in the war. This was said

department discussion of Trotsky's re

Wednesday an offer of $25 a heads was
tendered by L. A. Jones.
Assistant Purchasing Agent Mcintosh
accepted the offer on the stipulation
that final action as to the disposal of
the elk remain with the city council.
Mayor Baker favors the plan of giv
ing the herd me freedom of Bull Run
forest reserve, where there would be
little if any danger of interference from
the public, as the government abso
lutely prohibits trespassing in any part
of the reserve.
Commissioner John M. Mann, in
charge of the water department, also
faveVs me plan of keeping the elk herd,
but allowing me animals me natural
freedom which would result by turning
them loose in the reserve.
The only objection voiced to the plan
by Mr. Mann was that extensive log
ging projects planned in the reserve
might Interfere with the freedom of the
elk. In this case Commissioner Mann
declared that the herd could be turned
loose in the Cazadero district, adjacent
to the reserve.
In the portion of this district known
as the "warm springs" section, people
are practically barred from entrance
because of natural barriers. Sportsmen
of the district would probably bear a
portion of the expense incident to trans
porting the elk, Mr. Mann believes, and
farmers in the district would be able
to guard the animals from unscrupulous
hunters. ,

Eugene, Or., March 21. Unanimous
approval is expressed in Eugene of the
action of me Vigilantes, numbering
about 200, who last night took Jake
Spores, a conspicuous character about
town, to the Lane county line north of
Junction City and warned him not to
return.
Spores has been living for several
years ostensibly upon a small inheri
tance left him, rooming at public rooming-houses
and eating at lunch coun
ters. He has done no work in that time
and was charged with making remarks
about women who passed him on the
street.
He had refused to assist in any war
activities and was generally deemed an
undesirable citizen.
It is openly stated that this is but
the first of a number of deportations
which will be made of chronic loafers
and pro-German sympathizers.
