Reorganization :pf - the United States Shipping board '-and Emergency Fleet corporation for peace-Uma work Is under war- Chairman Hurley is hurrying the re- ' adjustments that he may be able to pre 'i, xent to congress a complete program '' tor future shipbuilding, disposition of t rhipt built during the war and instru " 'mentalities for carrying out' the work, -i. At least two changes in the personnel ,tln leading board officials are expected .7 .in the reorganization work. Jt Is understood President Wilson will support Hurley both in his renrganhsa , tion work and in the coiu-se he has purr sued- toward cancelling contracts for unbwtt ships. The policy of refusing to build now for foreign , countries Is understood to be President - Wilson's policy and no change, la expected , until after - peace is signed. This , course was -, decided upon early this year when allied-governments expressed a desire for Ameri can shipyards to build 4,000,000 tons of shipping.-: ; , President , Wilson is understood to have taken the position, that until the peace settlements were definitely estab lished and it was ascertained whether the American views ; of justice and equity were to prevail, " this country would " withhold action -on foreign re quests for aid in this matter. , Without establishment of a League of Nations, it' was the intention of the president' to advocate a tremendous in crease of this nation's building both as regards war vessels and. merchant ships Until it could be established therefore. Just how much shlpbuUding America, was to, do, it was decided tD accept-no' foreign orders. KXFLAIXS HIS STAUD '""That the ban on foreign? contracts wilt , be lifted with the ratification of the peace treaty is accepted as certain by officials here. ' In . advocating the revised construc tion -program which .has resulted in widespread protest by shipbuilders in both Western and Eastern yards. Chair man Hurley Sis actuated by two con siderations, he says. First, he feels that we should not con tinue building ships at high war costs under peace conditions with money, ap propriated for war emergencies par--poses, especially where such ships were not to be delivered until 1920. - Second,' he says, "many -of the con tracts cancelled were for ships of a size and type not commercially and econom ically advantageous in time of peace." . Hurley has. ordered a complete survey qft the shipping needs both freight and passenger, on all the1 trade routes, and this report, expectedwlthln the next JO days, Drill have an important bearing on changes' he will recommend in the con struction program for congress. j ATXIOUS TO FIX IS H . , i 1 --To take the place of contracts now be- "Ing- cancelled. Hurley plans to. let new ? -contract later for; "larger and faster '.Jj ships.' Under the readjustment pro- life gram, he says, no such yards will be left f'J Idle and no, employes will be left sUd f jai denly without Jobs. s Meantime, he has moved, he flays; to ) :end immediately delays in adjustment of shipbuilders' claims growing out of can- C ceiled contracts. , 1 1 Hurley Is anxious- to , complete his I :2i work' of 'reorganization, get his recom I ;i rnendatlons before congress and clean up f ! jJJ the loose ends of his war work so that !-he may retire from his present post and ,J resume his private affairs. !

The state la first ' in the twelfth federal reserve district, if not first in the" entire nation. It is held probable that national honors will come to Oregon for attaining her quota first,- because in her two rivals, Iotva jand Michlgun, the quota was only completed before the Ore gon quota waa raised because the banks there underwrote the stJtte apportionment. " . 1 Until a corps of auditors, which this morning attacked 'a pile of reports 'and a mass of figures, have completed their work Act' official figures in the Portland drive, completed' in a last burst of en thUBiasra Saturday nfght. can be given. SOLICITATION CEASES ' . . Relaxed nerves and a general slowing up in the -race for dollars that again brought Portland into national promi nence for her splendid effort,: character ize the hundreds of loyal people who gave every energy to the Victory loan drive. The campagln is still tin, banks and the Victory hut are-still open to subscribers, but active solicitation has ceaseo. - Such organizations as the woman's committee and the Industrial and foreign corporation workers will not be able to report finally for several days, It Is eald, and in the meantime all ef fort is centered in tabulating the re turns of the city drive. From all sections of the Pacific coast and from elsewhere, messages ef con-' gratulation are pouring in upon Victory loan officials today." One of these is from John V. Calkins, new manager of the Twelfth Federal Reserve bank at San Francisco, who says. CAIKINS CONGRATULATES "Tour message received this, Sunday, morning telling me that Oregon and Portland have met their quotas is the most encouraging word I have had since my appointment as Victory loan chair man for the district and my personal gratitude Is. therefore, great. Please ac cept me -congratulations 'or- the war loan organization and myself." But the Victory loan drive is not com plete because Oregon, has done what she was asked to do. . The nation as a whole has not responded so, loyally as has Oregon and unless some highly concen trated energy is put Into the drive else where, or unless . Oregon comes to the rescue, the outlook for the success of the loan Is dismal, according to Secre tary of the Treasury Carter Glass. Sec retary Glass has wired The Journal as follows: ti ASS MAKES PLEA "The Victory loan campaign Is two thirds over, but subscriptions hajve been reported .for little more than one-third of the loan. "Is lt conceivable ;that the American people, who,, with heart anej soul, waged the fight for freedom. wlU permit this loan of victory aftd thanksgiving to fall?

The following lines, found recently in some correspondence received by Fred W. Root, correspondent of the British Canadian Telegraph ' News service, are ancr.ymous but give effective answer to John MacRae's poem "In Flanders Field": , : Wo have kept faith, ye Flanders" dead. Sleep well beneath those poppies red That mark your place.

Now that the war is ended It would be as reasonable for, them to dishonor the nation by deserting the flag as for the natlon-.to dishonor Itself by deserting them. i '" "la it a large thing that we are now asked to lend our money to pay the cost of victory? Is American money less willing than American manhood? "Let every one of the millions who have bought Liberty bonds buy Victory notes and success is sure." KECOHD IS tfBAISED Robert X Smith. 1 executive manager of the V16tory loan in Origon, has received- the following telegram from Montie B. Gwlnn, chairman of the drive in Idaho : -' 'v "Congratulations! Tou won the blue ribbon. Tours Is the first state in the Twelfth district to make its quota and Idaho will follow in the near future with her quota." H. A. Lemmon. chairman, of the cam paign in Nevada, adds his own message of praise in the following: "Congratulations ! Wish we had some of you live webfoots here on the desert I Two methods were adopted in putting th j loan across. They differed from each other radically but both, were' suc cessful. - .. - . State Manager - John L. Ftheridge chose the business-like method. Through an organization used In the four pre vious campaigns, , the financial status of practically every person In the state outside of Multnomah county had, bee: determined. The state had been dlv into counties,- as separate districts and the counties were subdivided-ccord-ing to - communities. Each jounty had its county committee and Ks chairman ; each, community also had a loan' com mlttee. . SUBSCRIPTIONSFIXED Through banks, assessors, merchants, alid throiighgosslp and town' talk,' thes committees filled -out eards showing each cKbten's financial standing. These cards were In duplicate, ' one going ' to the community committee and one to the state headquarters. When the state quota was announced, each county was assigned' Its quota. This quota in turn was divided - among the communities and towns of the county. Through the cards each citizen's financial obligation to the government was figured out and letters were sent out requesting the purchase of a certain amount of bonds. In practically all cases the letters did the work. . Cltiaens reported at their local banks, deposited money for . their bonds, and in a week the .campaign was closed. ; . In Portland, with. Its great floating population, Its factories and industries, such a system was Impossible. By ap pealing to the patriotism of the people, by showing them the. financial value of the bonds, and by a syBtem of ealesman-s ship, practically very -man and woman in the city was reached . by the Jhond salesmen. Though the WorU wa harder, but the necessity, of purchasing bonds was 'preached from pulpit and prise ring, from theatre stages and street cor ners, and the goal waa finally reached. BANKS STILL OPE2? The loan has notToflclally f been closed, and persons still desiring to purchase bonds may do so at the count ers of any bank in the city. By the di rection of the treasury department, the loan will remain open to the jjublio until Afay lO. At first the government an nounced that it would not allow the states., to oversubscribe their quotas, but because of the poor showing made in some states oversubscriptions are now-encouraged, ' Oregon outside of Portland has over subscribed its quota by J177.97S, an nounced John L. Etheridge, state man ager. The figures max yet be Increased as there are 'communities in southern and eastern Oregon, remote from rail roads or telegraph lines, from which no reports have'been received. ; ISSITBAlfCE : COMPANIES " , HAVE SUBSCRIBED f ? ;. -;r -f - v "The": fotlowinsr"forelgn-llfe - Insurance companies have been subscribers to the Oregon fund, - so far as the records of the bureau of foreign corporations ShOW.'

ASTORIA M HI WNS CITY EXPECTED TO V PROTESOATE RISE F Stand Is. Taken That Public Service ' Commission Acted Without Authority. - The city of Portland 'will go to court in an effort to have set aside the de cision of the public service commission granting a rise in rates to the Pacific Telephone Telegraph company, ac cording to rumors emanating from the city hall this morning. City officials let it be known that the city will consider seriously an appeal to the Oregon courts' on the ground that the public service commission had no authority to hear the recent' case, under the state law, and that therefore the proceedings were ir regular and the decision illegal. "Kates, tolls and charges shall not be higher than those in force on .January 1, 1911, unless the public service com mission, after a hearing and investi gation upon an application of the com pany, shall find that'; the proposed higher rates are reasonable, fair and just," the state law; is quoted. Accord ing to Edward M. Cousin, city rate ex pert, no application was filed by the company with the commission and there fore the body had no authority to hear the case. The company simply filed a tariff and put it in effect, totally without author ity, Mr. Cousin, states, and the public service commission heard the case at the request of the government although no advance was suggested. . That the decision nullifies the rate making power of the city over the com pany, stipulated in the franchise grant ed in 1902, is another statement of Mr. Cousin. "During the existence of this franchise the grantee or Its assigns shall not charge or collect higher rent al for telephones than the maximum rentals now collected, the franchise says. The advanced rates allowed by the commission make this clause of the city franchise " entirely invalid. Mr. Cousin claims, and not worth the pa per It is written on. The city would therefore have no power, whatever over the charges exacted by the company, it is shown. The advanced J-ates granted by the commission are unreasonable. In the opinion of Mr; Cousin, because the en tire burdenr of the added revenue is placed on the shoulders of business houses The advanced rates affect al most entirely business phones, and It is too heavy a load, the city official main- ins. Already, he. asserts. Portland rates are higher than any other city of its class in the United States. The question of appeal will be placed before the city council at an early meeting. FOOD ORDINANCE UPHELD Judge Stapleton Sustains' Municipal Court's Fine of P. J. Traynor. The food law of the city of ! Portland, requiring a physical examinaUon of food handlers , and a license for firms,' was upheld Saturday by a decision of Circuit Judge Stapleton on appeal of the case of P, J Traynor, fined $25 in the mu nicipal court for failure to. comply with the ordinance. Traynor, who conducts a grocery store at 727 Milwaukee street, failed to take an examination or procure a license to conduct a business. He was arrested and convicted in the municipal court for failure to abide by the city ordinance. He appealed to the circuit court on the ground that the ordinance was unconsti tutional. , .. t Other cases now pending -in the muni cipal court will be affected by the de cision of Judge Stapleton.
