Washington, May 15. (U. P.) Agree ment was reached today between mem bers of congress and Secretary of the Interior Lane on a bill for reclamation of western - arid lands to give work and farms to discharged soldiers. The measure, which will bs " intro duced early next week, is a compromise between bills drawn by Representative Mondell. Wyoming, and Senator Smoot, Utah. It provides that soldiers shall be em ployed ih reclamation of arid lands at $4 a day. They are to be privileged to homestead such reclaimed lands under a long term payment plan. Kach soldier is to be entitled to an advance from the government of $1200 for erection of a house and other buildings : $800 for a team and farm implements, and $300 forother purposes. e The agreement on this bill came at a conference called by Lane and attend ed by Representative Mondell. Repub lican leader of the house ; Champ Clark, Democratic leader ; Representatives Kin kaid, Nebraska, and Sinnott, Oregon, and Senators Smoot, Utah, and Myers, Montana. Lane expressed the hope that the com promise plan will succeed ip overcom ing the opposition which developed last session and which prevented passage of any measure for giving the soldiers land. An effort will be made to get- an early report from the house and senate public lands committee. BALLIN YARD MAY BE STEEL PLANT Plans to Convert Under Consid eration; Special Type of' . ' Wood Sailor Planned. Plana, to convert the wooden ship building yard of the Supple-Ballin cor poration into a steel yard are under consideration -according to announce ment of Arthur Langguth, vice presl- dent ft th cnapny. The yard launched i boJas of Us. wooden steamers or the government at 2 :30 o'clock this after noon, when the composite vessel, "Diana, a 4500-tonJ craft of the Ballin type de sign, was put into the water. It is estimated that it will cost about $30,000 to fit the plant for the building of steel ships. The present ways are declared to. be exceptionally welt laid, and for that reason it will not be neces sary for the builders to substitute berths for the steel ship of the else that the firm may undertake to build. "We do not wnt to change to steel unless we have to," said Mr. Langguth, "but we desire to keep the yard run ning if possible. If the change is made we would build the smaller class of steel vessels, a sise which our present ways could handle. YARD TO CONTINUE ANYWAY ' "In the event that it is decided not to undertake construction of steel ships, it i is highly probable that the yard will confine its attention to the building of wooden sailers." According to George C. W. Low. treas urer of the Supple-Ballin corporation, he is not ready at this time to make a statement as to the immediate future of the yards, although it is admitted that the plant now has plans drawn for a special type of wooden sailer ; in fact two types have been proposed. Through the assistance of Fred A, Bal lin, president of the corporation, the de signer of the Ballin patent ships, the yard has been building for the govern ment, the designs for the new satlers have been completed. The drawings show a six-masted vessel and one of five masts. The lines are such in each class that, with a large spread of canvas, in cluding jibs and topsails, the sailers are expected to make the necessary speed. The sailers are especially designed as lumber carriers, but could be used to advantage in transporting freight of a general character. KOItCE TO BE REDUCED With the launching of the Diana today a large part of the working organiza tion of the Supple-Ballin plant will be laid off. it is said. This particularly applies to the shipwrights. A consider able number of men will be retained to complete the ships which have already been launched but not delivered, how ever. "At the Pacific "Marine Iron works, which is connected with the shipbuilding plant, there are three wooden steamers still to be equipped with machinery. Mrs. Low. wife of the treasurer of the corporation, was selected as sponsor for the Diana. Japanese Press Friendly, Declares Baron Shibusawa Tokio,- May 12. (Delayed) (U. P.)

Following meetings of lumber manu facturers of Western Oregon and West ern Washington held in Portland. Se attle, Everett and Grays Harbor, a rise of $3 per thousand in the price of all grades of fir and hemlock lumber was announced this morning. . This makes a total advance of $6 per thousand during the past month. The mills are now disposMig of their product at the basic price of $26 per thousand fixed by the United States government during the war as the price at which they could operate at a fair profit. After the signing of the armis tice the price dropped to approximately $20 and the mill owners claim that they were operating at a loss. Wages in a few of the mills were re duced from $4 to $3.60 per day for com mon labor, but since the recent rises in the price of lumber, wages have been advanced again to the war time figure. Mill operators declare that they will not attempt to cut the wages of their em ployes and that the present wage is none too high considering the cost of liv ing. The present prices of lumber will be maintained indefinitely, according to of ficials of the West Coast Lumbermen's association. The mills are able to op erate at a profit at the new price, and there is no prospect for either a further rise or for any decline from the present level, according to prominent operators. Mills In the west coast territory have for some time been selling their products at a lower price than the mills of the Southern Pine association and other sections of the country. The increasing demand for lumber, both for domestic and foreign markets, is tending to stabilize prices and reduce competition to the minimum. As an instance of prevailing prices. No. t vertical grain flooring sells in the carload lots at $45 per thousand feet under the new schedule ; two by four and other dimension stock sells at $21.50 tper thousand in carload lots and other classes of lumber in proportion. Extra clear shingles are quoted at $3.80 per thousand in car lots, compared with $2.80 one year ago. The demand for shingles was limited during the war and there may be Btill further slight ad vances in price in the near future, ac cording to mill operators. .

For mer Congresswoman. By John Edwis KsTia Paris, May 15. (I. N. S.) Most bit ter indignation is expressed here over the victory of the German and j Austrian delegates at the international j congress of women at Zurich, where itis treaty terms were characterized as a violation of the -principles of justice and la contin uation of the rule of force." The resolution denouncing the treaty was -moved by Mrs. Philip Snowden, wife of the well known English labor leader, and was seconded by Miss Jean nette Rankin, former member of the American congress. The peace terms as they stand, ac cording to the women delegates, "are entlrelyj in the interests of the enemies of the central empires." They declare that the conditions are not worthy even of ordinary consideration. THIRTY-TWO AMERICAN DELEGATES 'ARE PRESENT From the Petit Journal, Pari. Zurich. May 15. (I. N. S.

' Reinstatement of suspended contracts for the construction of steel ships for the government Is necessary, to save the shipbuilding industry of Portland and the entire Pacific coastj today de clared J. R. Bowles, president of the Northwest Steel company, on his re turn from a conference with, shipyard owners at San "Francisco. ' j "We have only two more government i ships to lay down, and unless the sua- : pended contracts are reinstated our j yard will close by September 1." said ' Mr. Bowles. "When once the yard is closed it will not reopen, because we ; will have lost our organization of skilled . workmen." he added. Regarding the lifting of the ban on i building for foreign account Bowles 1 said : "The ban has been lifted in a con- ditional way. The relief should have come more than six months; ago. when we had a chance to sign up contracts, and when there was a market for the ships abroad. Granting that we under take now to obtain foreign contracts, it would require six months to close them and assemble our material. Long before that, time the yard would be come idle. We are now letting out men as the conditions warrant." Mr. Bowles, in company' with other yard owners of the coast, will visit Washington for a conference with Ed ward Hurley, chairman of the United States shipping board. ' The meeting, which was called by Hurley,' will be held about May 23. " At this confer ence the entire shipbuilding problem will be discussed. "I believe that Hurley is willing to meet the reason able demands of the shipbuilders," said Bowles. Alfred F. Smith, president of the Columbia River Shipbuilding Corpora tion, also attended the San Francisco conference. Shriners Obtain Eeduced Fare to Convention City One of the last barriers to .Portland's success in seeking the 1920 convention of the Mystic' Shrine was removed this morning when officers of Al Kader tem ple of Portland received notice from Senator C.

Director Chambers had twice refused to grant this special rail rate request ed by Al Kader temple, but through Western Shriners 'and Senator McNary the case was finally carried to success. The lower rate to the Indianapolis con vention means a reduced fare from east ern points to the 1920 convention if it is held in Portland, it is said. Elma Postoffice Is Robbed $1000 Taken Elma.
