THE OREGON DAILY -JOURNAL," POR :TLAND; FRIDAY JANUARY: 31; .1919.- 3 ARBITRATION BILL BEATEN IN HOUSE Plan for State Board to Settle Labor Disputes Defeated by "i Vote of 24 to 29. SOCIETY GIRL WHO LEAPED TO DEATH FROM STEAMER ?29. Representative Shuebel'a bill provid-r ins for the creation or a state ooara - t conciliation and arbitration wa de- - feated in the house Thursday, labor delegates Joining- in the opposition - against the bill. t A reconsideration of the measure at a - later date in foreseen in the action of Representative Schuebel. who changed his affirmative vote to "No" before the final vote was .announced. In explaining his bill. .Representative Schuebel said it was his desire to find .Dome method" whereby labor disputes could be settled with Justice to both parties concerned and whereby the right of the public, which, he declared, must necessarily suffer to a greater or lesser degree In every strike or lockout, would also be safeguarded. Thirty-four States Hare Law The bill, he declared, was tlie direct mstsrrnuth nf hin nhHrvftlion of the dif- liculties growing out of the recent strike in the paper mills at Oregon City, "fhirty-rfour states now have similar laws on their statute books, he said, i Representative Smith of Baker op . . .-posed the bill on the ground that it con tained no provisions for the enforcement ' of its principles except such compul- pressure of publld sentiment upon the j publication of the findings and recom mendations, of the board. The bill was ' lacking in "teeth," he declared, and only provided for the expenditure of addition al state funds without any guarantee of Smith Against Arbitration representative Smith of Multnomah explained, as a member of the commit tee on labor and industries, that both j hlmselT and Representative Home had opposed the bill In committee, but had agreed with Schuebel to present aJav orable report in order that the bill might be considered on its merits by the members of the" house. Representative Smith said there was a wide difference of opinion as to the ; merits of the principles of arbitration among laboring men, and that he was not speaking in the role of a represen tative of labor, but was simply express ing his own personal opinion in pointing ..out that, while the principle of concili ation generally had been successful in averting strikes and lockouts, arbitra tion, on the other hand, generally tend- ;'ed only to sow seeds of dissension, which sooner or later would find expression In further disputes. In support of this statement he pointed out the decisions nf f Via Tqivv nraffA Vir j r r m.- Vi i .

"if there is anv red blood in their veins, they will naturally resent such arbitrary action." Representative Home, speaking for the 50.Q00 members of organized labor j;te Oregon, opposed the bill, declaring it JWOuld not accomplish the ends sought and that the principles of arbitration In practical application had been found unsatisfactory. i- Declaring that he spoke from the 'party the often abused ultimate con ' Burner Representative Lifgre,n favored the bill, declaring that at least its prtn , ciples were correct and provided an en tering wedge whereby the present evils now surrounding labor disputes might eventually find a wholly satisfactory solution. hi 'i 1 1 1 1 biiii i mini iiiibiih jail ! niniiiiai.iMM.np. il i S" II lU ' .

Washington, Jan. 31. (WASHING TON BUREAU OF THE JOURNAL) The public buildings committee of the house has lifted the lid from its rule against an omnibus public buildings bill, and is preparing to report once more a measure containing appropriations for j nomerous new buildings in all parts of ; the country. j This bill will contain authority to pur- j chase sites at Corvallis and Klamath : Falls, Or, and for sites and buildings ! at Oregon City and Hood River, but it j should not be taker! too seriously by the i residents of those cities or of other cities In other states to which the favor of the committee has been extended, because the chances for enacting such a bill are close to zero. The committee, after deciding that there should be no general build Inga bill at this session, seemingly changed Its resolve on the theory that this is the time to stimulate building operations. The treasury department under Secre tary McAdoo declared its opposition to omnibus buildings bills, and Mr. Mc Adoo declared some time ago that no such bill will again be "passed. He based his opposition upon the expe rience of the department, which has found that little government -palaces have been built in small towns all over the country where the cost of maintaining them is greater than the receipts and greater than the cost of renting other buildings. In other words, "pork" reached its highest flavor in bills of i this character. Introduction of the bill at this stage, with less than five weeks of the session remaining and a big jam on appropria tion bills in sight for the closing days, means little except that certain mem bers of congress hope in this way to "square" themselves with constituents who have renewed the agitation for pub lic buildings.

Brush, president of the International Shipbuilding corporation, today told the senate commerce com mittee. The Quistoonck, first' ship built at Hog Island, is the only one of the five delivered that did not get the approval of Lloyds shipping agency, and that was because of a "'minor defect," Brush said. The objection to the Quistoonck, he said, was due to two crooked links in an anchor chain, which, he said, in no way lessened the strength of the chain. The yard. Brush said, has some 50 ships in various stages of construction, five ships have been delivered, one will be turned over in a few days and 14 have been launched.

About the only cross a lot of soldiers will get is across the Atlantic The expression "working on their nerves" is heard frequently of people who have exhausted their reserve of physical strength and are dependent upon today's nourishment for today's tasks. This "hand-to-mouth" policy may continue indefinitely until some unusual demand for strength or men tal effort is made and then a collapse is inevitable, frequently taking the form of nervous prostration. Nervous disorder often means that the delicate nervous system lis under nourished and the accompanying pain is the nerve's cry for food. Medical science has established that the nerves can be treated best through the blood, as the nerves receive thetr food from the blood. W'hen the tone of the blood falls off the nerves suffer. Thin, weak blood results in distressed under fed nerves. The common sense treatment, therefore, in case of nervous disorders such as nervous indigestion, neuralgia and even nervous prostration, is a tonic which will give the blood the elements needed by the impoverished nerves. Dr. Williams 'Pink Pills have stood the test of years and are today the ideal blood builder and nerve strengthened The experience of Mrs. Harry C. Cralle of -Eagle Bend, Minn., should prove of great interest to those who are afflicted as she was. She says: "I had nervous prostration and ever since have had periodic spells of. com plete exhaustion. The doctor said my nereyes were shattered. Any excite ment or unusual activity would throw me into a state of lifelessness. I was not only weak but I had dizzy feel ings, palpitation of the heart, mis ery after eating, hot. flashes., nervous headaches,- rheumatic pains in th back and hips. .'. "I had a very bad spell, and my hus band went out and bought a box of Dr. Williams 'Pink Fills for .me, and that was the beginning of my return .to health.. The effect of even the first box was; surprising. My. appetite grew keen, my food no longer distressed me, my nerves were quieted to a de gree that I had not experienced for years, and my strength began to revive. At the end; of two months I had re gained my health and cheerfulness." Dr. Williams Fink Pills contain .the elements necessary to make new blood and, as the nerves get their, nourish ment from the blood, have been found invaluable in a wide "range of diseases of the blood and nerves, such as rheu matism, after-effects of the grip and fevers, neuralgia and nervous debility. Your own druggist can supply you with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills or you can order, direct from the Dr. Williams Medicine Co.. Schenectady, N. Y., at 50 cents per box ; six boxes $2.50. .
