the Imperial Council of the Mystic
Shrine .Portland is now aligned against
New Orleans. The big burg at the

be a fine city and a first class winter
. resort, but Portlanders do not for- one
little, moment admit her to be in the
name class as the City of Roses for a
summer frolic, and that is when the
Shrine rides Its camels in from the
' deserts for a season of recreation Port

EX-GOVERNOR WEST
RETAINED BY LUMBER

Effort Will Be Made in Wash

Ex-Governor West has been ' retained
By the Western Oregon Lumber - and
Tie Manufacturers' association to repre
sent them at Washington, D. C. In an
effort to secure an alteration in : the
method of -Inspecting and - purchasing
railroad cross ties. v - V-
The appointment of Mr. Wnt a
made at a meeting of members of the
association held In .the Multnomah hotel
Saturday evening. '
H. a; Van Dur,' late chairman of
the fir... production board, presided ;at
the meeting and characterised the-present
methods- used by the United States
railroad administration - in purchasing
ties as "a fool proposition from start to
finish,"- The specifications and method
of inspection and purchase were framed
by; jnen f wholly unfamiliar; with the
problems confronting the manufacturers
of ties,, he declared. , - - ; : W AV -
There were more than 100 representa
tives of lumber and tie mills of the Wil
lamette , valley;; and 'points in Washing
ton -present at last night's meeting.
, Praetlee Held I'afair
They unanimously indorsed the state
ment of Mr.; Van- Duser; that the action
of the. railroad administration affecting
the ' tie' manufacturers of western ' Ore
gon and western, Washington was unfair
and , un-American.-. ItesoUitions i were
adopted condemning the practice of giv
ing purchasing agents of the roads au
tocratic power In fixing prices on ties
and issuing alleged secret instructions
to inspectors. ; '..v
I.-France, purchasing agent of: the
Southern Pacific lines, came in for par
ticular censure. ,Tie manufacturers de
clared that for several years past Mr.
France has at all times used -methods
which have kept the-lumber producers
of the Willamette valley at strife
against one another and dissatisfied
with , the company which, he represents.
Mr. Barnes of the Northern Pacific
Lumber company stated that his. com
pany has refused to cut ties under pres
ent regulations and will not furnish
them until a fair method of purchase Is
inaugurated. Other mill operators de
clared that, it is impossible to operate
at a profit under existing conditions.
-'- Big Fstsre Predicted .' - '
There are about 150 tie manufacturers
in ..the Willamette valley, according to
O. H. Ball, secretary of the Western
Oregon Tie and Lumber Manufacturers'
association ; about 50 per cent of . the
mills are -shut' down at present because
of the impossibility ; of v operating at a
profit. Under normal conditions the
mills of western Oregon engaged in
the cross tie Industry employ . about
7500 men. ;.?.' - .. . ' . - ; (.- i-.-

Allen. Orders for approximately 40.
000.000 ties have already been placed

said. .
- ' '; Wait 'Pre-war Bate :.,".
Resolutions were adopted asking for
a restoration of pre-war freight rates
on ties and lumber from Willamette
valley points to tide water for' offshore
shipment. Lumber producers declare
that present rates ' are prohibitive and
will exclude .mills of this district from

Strike of Workers
In Metal Trades on
Coast Is Conjecture
. The question of a strike of the metal
trades union workers " and the unions
affiliated with " the . Maritime District
council in' Pacific, coast yards," is still a
matter of conjecture. ;
- Union delegates, who refused to sign
the agreement extending the Macy scale
to October 1 next, until they had re
ferred the proposition : to - their respec
tive locals, are now on their way home,
according to a telegram received at the
headquarters of the Boilermakers' union
in Portland last night? '
- The telegram requested the locals to
withhold action until 'their arrival here.
H. W. Shaw, secretary of the . Metal
Trades council of the Pacific coast, is
one of the returning delegates.
Among, the shipyard owners who have
been at the Washington conference is
J. R. Bowles, president of 1 the North
west Steel company of this city.
' Agitation against' the Macy scale
which originated -. in Seattle and was
considered by other-: districts on the
coast some time ago. included in its
program a referendum ballot and a
strike on April 1, on the date the Macy
scale expired, if suitable terms could not
be obtained. The Seattle strikers, who
recently returned to work on promise
of the Emergency Fleet corporation : to
consider their demands, took a referen
dum, vote last night, it Is reported in
press , dispatches. The Portland locals
took a strike voteaome weeks ago, but
the result of ' the ballot was not can
vassed, owing to the desire of the union
leaders not to hamper the work of the
Joint representatives at .Washington.
. It had been Intended to start tabula
tion of the Portland vote April I, but now
that the -delegates have requested a de
lay,, it is not expected, it is learned in
union circles. that the result of the bal
loting -will be made known for several
days yet, if at all. : .
Shipyard owners have proposed a con
tinuance of the Macy scale for six
months and a 44-hour week. The union
delegates are said to have been willing
to subscribe to these . phases " of the
settlement, but they insist that union
men be given the preference in employ
ment at the various shipyards.
- According to two prominent Portland
shipyard owners the yards are willing
to abide by the Macy scale for another
six months, but they are unable to pay
any increase over this scale. -

: There has always been an argument between some of my esteemed E

SENATORS ONCE' :
FOR LEAGUE NOW
MENACE TO PLAN
- HssmsssssMssssssssssssssssapBsss
Congressman Oliver of Alabama
Scores "37" Who 0 nee' Ap
proved and Now Oppose Plan.
ONLY SOLUTION OFFERED
Building From Rafters Down , Is
Mighty Poor Way to . Erect
Structure, Is Assertion.
"in August, 1916, the United States
senate approved by practically unani
mous vote; a house bill appropriating
$300,000 to create and maintain a court
of nations founded upon the . principles
of the proposed League of Nations..
"Today that body, among a group of
whoso members consistency is thus
proved a jewel .of poorly moulded mud,
threatens the defeat ot the League of
Nations, embodying the tenets once m-,
phatlcally approved, by . the vote - of
some 37 senators. k ,'" ,-;
"In the face of such ynreasoning o
posltion I am for the League of Nations
with all my energies! I put emphasis
upon the.' " :
Which Is how William B. Oliver, con
gressional representative from Alabama
and member of the house naval affairs
committee, which left Portland Satur
day night, puts his gallant southern
shoulder to the wheel. : ;
Representative .Oliver, distinguished
during his Portland visit as a typical'
southern gentleman, student of world
affairs and orator of extraordinary abll-'
lty. does not contend that the league is
the only one. - '
"As no human Is perfect, it follows
that no human work is perfect,' Mr.
Oliver declared. "No member of con
gress or of the senate believes for n
moment that the League of Nations Is
the ultimate balm for a bruised world.
President Wilson does not and has never
contended .any such thing.
"I am safe in saying, however, that
the League of Nations is the only solu
tion for the evils of war that has been '
proposed. Until a better proposition is
advanced the United States will sponsor
the league and upon the foundation
which -It provides will offer every con
structive effort to improve it and make
it what President Wilson and others
hope it will be an effective and laatlnir
panacea for world ills, a preventative '
everlasting for the war the world has 5
come to hate.
"Were we to follow the advice of -some
of. our senatorial colleagues we :
would be btlldng our post war house
from the rafters down. The better and 5
more successful way is and has always
been to build from the' ground up and '
the foundation, which is the League ot
Nations in the present case. Is the f!rt .
construction."
