PORTLAND'S fourth Liberty loan pledges today are slight ly in excess of $5,000,000. , Approximately four times this mount must be pledged to make the drive a success.

The at 1 1cm was unanimous. it is announced, the night Shift holding its meeting in the afternoon and the much larger day shif debating the sub ject nearly half the night, the principal bone of contention being the action of the Willamette Iron & Steel works in discharging men who refused to work last Saturday afternoon. "We are returning to work Saturday afternoons because of .the Macy board's request that we do so and we consider the Macy board a representing Presl dent Wilson," said the Boilermakers "Our action was in protest of delays. which we have been told were unavoid able and through purely patriotic mo tlves we have decided to change our position. We want it understood we were not influenced in this matter through statements or utterances of any city or state offictals in calling us un patriotic or slackers. We are doing it for President Wilson." The bollermakers did not continue the Saturday shift through the day two weeks ago or a week ago. The Macy board had awarded a half holiday dur the three summer months and a new ad Justment had been expected by Septem ber 1.. but was delayed. In protest, the bollermakers reiused to work more than the half day. In Seattle it was reported the half holiday continued through September, but later it was found it was for but the first two Saturdays. 1KB GOIFIf Hi UP rib m BocheAreNotYet Licked:: Soldiers Fear Bad Result Of Overoptimism Desperate Character of Defense They Are Putting; Up Around St. Quentin Shows Strength.

The Norwegian foreign office has been informed, the dispatch said that the American consul, unlike other allied of ficials, has not even been placed under arrest. War department reports fail to show that Americana are being massacred or abused by. Bolahevikl. Quite the con trary is indicated by some of the mes sages. The state department has no con firmation of the reported outrages against Americans in Bolshevik con trolled territory in Russia. It is ac cepted that the situation there has not been improved by the unmasking of the fact that Lenlne, Trotsky and the Bol ahevik agents are controlled by Oer many. However, there is a feeling that most Americans nave left Russia and that the few remaining are well able to take care of themselves. m. lie British Make Further Gains ;ln Their Drive for St Quentin ' and Gather in More Prisoners Terrific Storm Is Raging.
