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 . Vi VinH
resulted in practical disruption of the
industries coming under its jurisdiction.
r Home Sneaks for Labor
"When you attemut to invade the In
herent rights of either capital or labor,"
he insi.stad. "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.

PUBLIC
BUILDINGS
BILL IS APPROVED
Corvallis and Klamath Falls Are
Inclirded in "Pork" Measure
Doomed to Be Defeated.
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.

Shipyards at Hog
Island Have Cost
U. S. $66,204,000
Washington, Jan. 31. Hog. Island ship
yards have cost up to the present time
J66.204.000. M. C. 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.

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
