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.

A Couple of Dollars
BelUngham. Wash., Jan. 31. I. X.

Great Northern Owl train at 4 o'clock
this morning just after it left Samish,
Wash., where he boarded it. He ob
tained about $10 from passengers in
the jjay coach but did not molest pas
sengers in the sleepers. He told the
women he would not ask them for any
thing. 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."

Central Labor Council Refuses to

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."

Interest Is Shown
Hundreds of Portland manufacturers

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.

its officials, the new board of directors
suggested by the nominating commit
tee were elected viva voce, as follows:
