REPRESENTATIVE
M'ARTHUR UNABLE
TO GET RELEASES
Oregon Lawmaker Besieged With
Letters Asking Him to Inter
cede for Soldiers and Sailors.
INTERFERENCE NOT DESIRED
Attitude of War and Navy De
partments Indicates Congres
sional Intervention Resented.
Washington. Jan. 13. -(WASHINGTON
BUREAU OF THE JOURNAL) In
common with other members of con
gress. Representative McArthur is re
ceiving many letters requesting: him to
Secure the release of soldiers or Bailors,
and he has Issued a statement explain
ing the futility of trying to secure auch
action at Washington.
m. Many such requests coming to him
appear meritorious, he says, and he
would be glad to present such matters
If any result could be secured.
'Under the rules laid down by both
the war and' navy departments," says
Mr. McArthur, "It is quite apparent that
congressional Interference is not desired,
and, in fact, I have observed that where
efforts are made to exert such influ
ence, the results "are sometimes disas
trous to the men who desire to secure
release.
Tribunal aIs Favored
"I feel that there should be some
'tribunal whereby an appeal might be
taken by a soldier or sailor in case of
an adverse decision by his commanding
officer,, but, unfortunately, I am not
empowered with authority to lay down
, the policies of the war and navy de
partments. 4 The rules are that cases will be con
.Idred .only upon recommendation of
.Immediate commanding officers. This
rule may seem harsh and unjust, but if
it wre otherwise the service in both
, the army and navy would soon become
badly demoralized.
"The war department advises me that
enlisted men may be discharged upon
ickness or other distress in the sel
ler's family, or where he is heeded to
r.anma mnn nvmnr in An inn l.Trv or
occupation in which there is urgent need
.of his services.; provided such discharge
will not disrupt or cripple the military
organization to which he is attached.
Regulars Mast Serre
"This regulation applies to all sol-
dters who enlisted or who were inducted
Into the service since April 1, 1917. Men
who enlisted in. the regular army prior
ig inac luiio must, nervo uul uioir luii
enlistments.
"The bureau of navigation of the navy
- department has authorized all command
. ants and commanding officers to release
irom active service, ana. aiecnarge irom
their enlistments. 20 per cent of the
naval reservists and enlisted men of the
Tegular navy, who enlisted for the dura
tion of the war, and also 10 per cent
VI men niiu ciimoicu ill ilia , ruini
navy for four years between the declara
tion of war (April 6, 1917) and January
ill; 1918. Commanding officers have full
authority to make these discharges with
out referring them to the bureau for
approval.
Bricklayers Want

Ynkimft Wash . .Tan 13 A honnt in
wages of bricklayers from S8 to $9 per
day of eight hours was recommended
at me session 01 me wasningion oiaie
Bricklayers' association here Saturday.
The recommendation for such a raise
was made but the matter left to the
- committee on constitution and bylaws
recommended an amendment to provide
sick benefits for injured workmen at
ft 10 per week. At the annual election of
officers. M. J. Dunn of Spokane was
made president, A. M. Hall of Aberdeen
Vice president and F. H. Pike of Seattle

Washington, Jan. 13. (WASHIXG-
PITP r i TT -c tup inimvil.l The I
Oregon delegation in the house of rep
resentatives stands mute when jasked
to state, severally or collectively, its
choice for speaker of the next house.
While this delegation consists of only
three members it can safely be stated
that it has been doing a lot of thinking
on this subject. Speakerships have been
decided by less than three votes in times
past, and may be this time. Neither of
the avowed candidates, James R. Mann
of Illinois and Frederick H. Glllett of
Masschusetts, has an assured majority.
The Oregon members want to agree if
they can. They were supposed to be
on the point of holding a meeting, which
they refuse to call a caucus, to talk it
over, when the wife of Representative
McArthur became sick, and he was for
some time detained at home by her seri
ous Illness. Now the Oregonlans seem
to be in no hurry to meet.
Doubtful Members Woed
The doubtful members are being in
dustriously wooed by the candidates and
their friends. Mann Is shaking hands In
countrytown style, and his friends are
hinting that the band wagon is open
for only a few more recruits before
they begin to cut the pie. Glllett is not
less active,, and, his friends say that
he Is gaining, because of the conviction
that Mann cannot make it.
Outside of these are a few, who in
the end may be found - more sagacious,
who say that neither Mann nor Glllett
will win and that the wise course is to
stay unpledged, ready to acclaim the
banner of a dark horse winner. Fess
of Ohio, chairman of the congressional
committee, is being carefully groomed.
Therein lies the secret of Mr. Fess'
recent appeals to his fellow members
to keep cool and allow nothing to dis
turb the harmony of their meditations.
It appears certain that the Oregon
members cannot agree on Mann, and
there ur doubt thafthey can agree on
Glllett. Attacks on Mann in Republican
newspapers recently have been numer
ous, with liberal quotations from Mann's
utterances prior to the time the United
States entered the war. Statements he
made following the sinking of the Lusi
tnaia, that this was not a cause for
war, and, later on, that he feared a
war with England more than one with
Germany, have been used with telling
effect and many members are saying
that the party cannot afford ,to make
him speaker.
Progressive Oppose Mann
Mann is also remembered in a du
bious way by the progressive wing of
the party because of his adherence to
reactionary policies. His elevation to
the speakership would hold out no prom
ise to the liberals. Gillett's record has
not been scrutinized so closely, for,
despite his long service, he has only
been a national figure for one or two
years. When he is checked up, it prob
ably will be found that he has voted
about as Mann has voted.
This is what gives strength to- the
movement for discarding both of them
and selecting a newer member, who will
be less under the suspicion of the pro
gressives of the country and whose re
.cent record in the war period will not
be open to serious attack.
