STORMY SESSION! OF LABOR COUNCIL OUSTS RYNERSON Board of Control Divided Three to Two in Editor's' Favor, but Minority Report Was Accepted. CONTRACT LASTS YEAR OUT Oregon Labor Press Has Pros pered During His Regime and Now vi Sound Financial Basis. The radical element was in control of the Central Labor Council Thurs day night and , pressed home ita charges against Editor C. M. JRyner ton, who had excited their animosity about a month ago by denou ncing In the Oregon Labor Press their alleged scheme to capture the council and turn it Into a revolutionary, class conscious, "one big union" 'move ment. Rynerson thereby materially aided in their defeat at the hands of the conservative elements jin the labor unions. ' , Nominally he was charged v4ith hav ing named certain organizations and individuals as revolutionists, butt in the course of a four hour trial it beci-.me evi dent that the trouble began whea. in 1918 he refused to publish different! revolu tionary utterances on the groii nd that they verged too closely on trdason to justify his taking the responsibility. He also aroused the ire of several radical 3 by demanding their signatured ,to com munications. . ' , The real test of strength came on an appeal from the decision of tbe chair that the minority report of the Ixjard of control of the Labor Press was rout of order when offered as a substrate for the majority report which exonerated Rynerson. The chair was overruled by a vote of 41 to 80, and thei -debate raged until 1 a. m. before the minority report was adopted, condemning- ryner son to immediate discharge. ' Chairman Harry Anderson kept good order and the proceedings, while heated, were parliamentary. , The board of control i was divided three to two in favor of Ryneraon, C. B. McCombs f the printing trades, : j A. Ooldrainer at the label trades and E. E. Pettingill of the amusement trades sec tions supporting his retention. The rad ical element; was able to secure J. A. MeHotland of - the Letter Carriers and William ,- Williams of the ' Boilermakers to demand his discharge, the latter lead ing in a bititr arraignment of the editor:1'' " h: -: ... The I vote of the Central Labor coun cil, however, does not mean the imme diate turning over of the official organ of labor in Oregon to the -Reds," as some supposed. He is under contract lor . the remainder of the year and if he retains bis- three supporters on the board t may remain in possession for some months. Rynereon has been editor and manager for five years. He took hold when it was deeply in debt and poorly supported and has made of It a financial success. - Among -the unqualified supporters of Rynerson were O. R. Hartwig. president of the State Federation of Labor, and K. J, Stack, secretary of the Central Labor council and of the State Federation of Labor, Rynerson in his defense occupied but a few minutes and assured the council that he was willing to submit the ques tion of his retention to a referendum vote of the unions subscribing to the paper. When C. A. Strickland, defeated candidate for president of the council, asked him if he did not have a bargain or understanding with the Chamber of Commerce and a morning paper to fol low out a course of editorial policy. Rynerson replied that it was a "fool question" and did not need any answer.

TAKEtJ AFTER CHASE OVER U NiTED STATES Joseph H Martin, Former Jew elry Salesman, . Held on Lar ceny Charge in Bay City. Joseph H. Martin, former salesman for the Keystone Jewelry company of San Francisco. Is under arrest in the Bay ' City on an indictment re turned by the Multnomah county grand Jury last January, charging him with larceny by bailee. Back of this simple statement is a story of abuse of friendship followed by a pursuit that extended all over the United States and into Canada. Dep uty Sheriff George Hurlburt will bring Martin back to Portland to face trial.' According to the indictment. Miss Sue LaBard, another salesman for the com pany, had advanced Martin J400 to help him start In business for himself. He is alleged to have told her he had a chance to buy a substantial interest in the "Myers Jewelry company." Oakland. Investigation developed . that no such store existed. Burns, operatives and deputy sheriffs then began the pursuit. Trace was found of him in Los Angeles, where it was lost ' for a ' time. He was heard of again in Deliver, St. Louis, Detroit and Pittsburg, where he worked for the Lagge-Emplre shows. Alleged to have taken 200 of show money, be was then traced to Toronto, where he was again lost. About two weeks ago he appeared in Portland and was recognized. Be fore he could be arrested.' however, he disappeared and was finally discovered In the Elks' club at San Francisco. ,A member of the Elks and high Masonic orders, it was largely through these fraternities that he was traced. Miss LaBard and Martin had both been working In Portland for the jew elry company when the alleged larceny; was committed. i Two Companies Incorporate; One; Other Dissolved Salem. AAig. 22. The Service . Sales agency of Portland, capitalised at 125, 000. filed articles of incorporation with Corporation Commissioner Schalderman Wednesday. The incorporators are How ard T. Rank, Frank Gallehur and L-. W. Cronan. " i " ; Articles were also filed by the Sunset Farms company of Tillamook, capital ised at $5000. James H. Langley. Web ster Holmes and Bertha Gaylotxl are the incorporators of t the company, which proposesvto lease and" operate dairy farms.

W.jj sympathizers In Seattle collected 10, 000 to apply as bonds for the release of Harry Lloyd and C. H. McKlnnon from Leavenworth penitentiary, I. W. W. leaders here said today. The bonds will be offered at once. Meats in Storage rot "Hoarded" Live stock is a seasonal crop like cereals and grains. It is" ripe" and is marketed in larger quantities in certain months. This causes a natural oversupply at one time and a natural shortage at another. During the time of oversupply Swift & Company places some of the meat in cold storage, against the season of' short production. This is a necessity in order that the nation's ration of meat 5 8,000,000 pounds every day in the year may be forthcoming as the consumer requires it. This is not hoarding, not price manipulation,, not market control. It is mere common sense. United States Bureau of Markets' figures of stocks of frozen, and cured meats July 1 are being used as a basis for Department of Justice investigations in many cities. When properly analyzed, based on Swift & Company's stocks, these figures show: 62 per cent (approximate) is pork and beef cuts, etc., cured and in process of curing. It takes 30 to 90 days in pickle or salt to complete the curing process. 12 per cent is frozen pork, of which more than three quarters is to be cured in the next few months. 7 per cent is lard. This is a normal supply and only four-fifths of a pound per capita, and much of it will have to goto supply European needs. 19 per cent is frozen beef and lamb, and miscellaneous meats, part of which is owned by the Government and was intended chiefly for overseas shipment. If ? , this were all diverted to domestic trade channels it would be only 2Vfc lbs. per capita a 5 days' supply. 100 , From this it will be seen that "meats in storage" represent unfinished goods in process of curing and the working supply necessary to assure the consumer a steady flow of finish ed product.

The rise was so general and pronounced . that many profes sionals went' home wondering whether it might not be that theA)- turn nad come. Bears were pun? ished severely in some of the most popular issues, particularly in steel, Sinclair, tire issues, motors and United Cigar stores. The buying was begun yesterday for the account of banking interests. Professionals made a vicious attack this morning and were delighted with the ease of the decline. They hammered some stocks down as much as 7 points. Then they discovered that they had been selling into the hands of in siders and tried to cover. The wild advance of the afternoon' was a result. Important net advances were recorded at the close of business. The advance from extreme low was 3 to 12 points. COMPANY BUYS STOCK Keystone was slaughtered the worst, and when the daring professional who did the selling started to cover, he dis covered, that all his stock had been taken . by Interests identified with the company. He was still buying when the gong rang and had advanced it about 8 points. When the raiders tried to cover their short contracts In United Cigar" stores. there was no stock In the market. They had bid It up 17 points before the mar ket closed. Sinclair was a good actor during the entire period of decline and advance, HEADQUARTERS fee LIBERTY BONDS We BUY and SELL any amount.
