HURLEY PLANS FOR

'-Reorganization- of? -the; Shipping

- , .the New Conditions.
1',' Washington,' May 6. 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.

, Portland Is apparently sure of her
honors as the first city of her, class
to go over the top in the Victory
loan. 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

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

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

1,500,000 American boys in France and
Germany. 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. ;

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.
