20 : ' - i FRIDAY, JANUARY 31. 4 1919. THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL PORTLAND, OREGOir. TRAFFIC BUREAU IS PLANNED AS , A TRADE FACTOR Port of Portland Takes Steps to Work in Conjunction With the ' Local Chamber Bureau. CONDITIONS ARE VIEWED Determined Effort to Capture Trans-Pacific Business Will Be Undertaken. Portland will make a bid for the ' trade which has been coming to other ; Pacific coast ports. ' The Port of Port land commission decided Thursday afternoon to form a traffic orgr&niia tton bureau to work in conjunction . with the foreign trade bureau of the ' Chamber of Commerce. , - Thla proposition that Portland "make " 'determined effort to go out after ? transpacific traffic was made Thurs day afternoon by a committee of Chamber of Commerce men headed by Secretary Dodson and II. B. Van Duser. ; The port commission declared Itself "- unanimously in favor of the idea char : acterized by Mr. Dodson as "going out jand celling Portland's port facilities, ' ' deciding that if Portland does' not 'have deep sea traffic, work by the : port commission in maintaining: chan . nels and otherwise keeping the port in proper condition for commerce is v useless. ' Captain Spencer expressed the atti tude of the port commission when he stated that he believed the ' work of maintaining channel to Portland was " unelesa unless trade was brought here. He also declared he would even be in favor of laying up one of the 'dredges that enough money might be - obtained' to carry the project through. - ,,it no i other source of revenue is . found. ' Chamber Is Represented . -Representing the Chamber of Com merce were : II. B. Van Duzer, Peter Kerr. Max Ilirsch. Thomas Edwards. David. TV Honeyman, W. IX B. Dodson and Sydney d3. Vincent. v-T r Mr. Van Duzer acted as spokesman for the committee, but after a communi cation from IL Lk Corbett, president of the chamber, was read, littie talk wiu necessary. Mr. Van Duzer likened the -Pert of Portland to a wholesale house with out salesmen, and said the time is ripe for action and quick action. If the goods that Portland can produce are to be known to 1 the world. - Declaring that something must be done to show the people here that the public bodies are attempting to get business, he stated that the Chamber of Commerce sub raitted the plan of consolidating the working bureaus of the port and the chamber to work in the closest har mony. 1 The members were Informed by Su perintendent Doyle that the port is empowered by an act of legislation in 1917 to form such a body and a com mittee of three was selected for further investigation. This committee consists of Commissioners O'Reilly, Pease and Spencer, who will hold the first meet ing this afternoon. Mr. Dodson stated that exporters have inquired about the port facilities and steamship companies have been in vestigating, conditions here also, but they have all taken their trade to other ports because no concrete evidence was" at hand of action taken here to estab lish a routing of transcontinental trade through Porland. Bareaa Cklef Weeded Another phase of the work will be to get a competent - man to handle the traffic bureau here and obtain representatives in Chicago ' and in the orient, that Portland may really go about "selling" the port. It la a quantity not known yet and It is a fact that - there is not as much trade out of here no as there was 30 years aj2ro, declared one of the commission ers. The success , with which Man chester, England, overcame Liverpool in trade circles was cited as an ex ample that the business of putting Portland on the market could be suc cessfully conducted. Immediate action was asked and im mediate action will be taken.' Mr. Dodson says he is assured that Port land will have some steamers plying to the far east in the near future, but unless traffic guarantees their stay ing here, they will seek trade at some other Pacific coast port. Further instances were pointed out why this rerouting of trade could easily be accomplished. It is cheaper for a great many sections to ship through Portland, but they lose "faith in Portland as a port. The bureau's business is to work up this faith.

Answering the train auditor's ques tions as to how much he wanted, the bandit said : "Oh, a couple of dollars. I'm hard up." UN TURN KM II DOVHMNS SOBERS COUNCIL Central Labor Council Refuses to Send Delegates to Attend Meetings of New Organization. EDITOR SCORES MOVEMENT Letter Complaining ofAlleged Discrimination Against Union Men Ordered Sent to Wilson. Refusal to send delegates to the Work men's, Soldiers' and Sailors' council and to sponsor that organisation, and protests to President Wilson against al leged local discrimination against labor, and against the arrest of Kathleen O'Brennan. the Irish lecturer, are re sults of the weekly meeting of the Port land Central Labor council Thursday evening. Annual election of officers completed the night's session. ' v" The refusal of delegates to the Work men's, Soldiers' and Sailors' council was voiced only after a strenuous de bate, during which C. M. Rynerson of the Typographical union, characterized the new organization as a disguised I. W. W. movement. He related that let ters written by leaders showed that the organization was inaugurated to dis rupt branches of the American Fed eration of Labor and declared that it was already sufficiently powerful to carry large weight in city and state government. Refusal to sponsor the Workmen's, Soldiers' and Sailors' council was the result of a communication from Mayor Baker asking for approval of his course in declining to allow meetings of the organization at The Auditorium. Al though withholding responsibility for the new movement, the Central Labor council adopted a resolution recom mending that any body of citizens be admitted to use of The Auditorium "for lawful purposes and at the usual terms."

Un usual interest was manifested In the work of the league as set forth by IL C. Huntington. Its president; -A. O. Clark, its manager, end Mrs. Ben Kly, its field representative. Mr. Huntington offered suggestions " for the organiza tion's membership, among them being that of a name Indicative of a proaaer territory to be covered by its activities. It was his notion that it would be wise to have the name of the Chamber of Commerce eliminated from the league's literature. ' and that it be presented to the public as a distinct organization.
