GRAND JURY EMPANELLED Condemnation of the Portland Seed company, Ever din g-Farr ell and Alder street docks in line with the recent action of cleaning up Port land's waterfront, appears certain when the waterfront committee meets Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock in the council chambers of the city hall, to make final decision on the three docks. The waterfront committee will pro ceed under authority given by city or dinance which allows condemnation of docks that show 40 per cent deteriora tion, either by fire or natural decay. Figures presented by Fire Marshal Ed ward Grenfell show 40 per cent de terioration on the Portland Seed com pany and Everdlng-Farrell docks, while the Alder street dock shows 41 per cent. Since the Beebe dock fire of last July the waterfront committee has con . demned eight docks. They are the I Beebe dock, Barde dock, Meier ft Frank dock. Pittock - Leadbetter waterfront prop-srty. Pacific dock. Oak street dock, Panama Cooperage company dock and Taylor street dock. The dock belonging to the Oregon Sheet Metal works shows a deterioration of 44 per cent and will no doubt come before the committee at a later meeting. Members of the waterfront committee are G. B. Hegardt, chairman ; O. Laur aaard, city engineer ; L. E. Latourette, deputy city attorney ; Edward Grenfell fire marshal ; H. P. Boardman, H. M. Plummer. buildinc Inspector, and W. A.

(L N. a) The crea tion of an International commission to govern Constantinople and the Darda nelles, with an American as president, is the latest suggestion on the eve of the conferences of Premier Lloyd George, Premier Nttti of Italy and Premier ven iselos of Greece. Not only will a supreme effort be made this week to solve the perplexing Turkish problems, but an attempt will be made to reach a compromise on Flume at the same time. Dispatches from Rome say that the newspapers close to the government are preparing the public mind to accept a re jection of Gabrlele d'Annunzio's cher ished dream and to receive a compromise agreeable to President Wlyon. , , IRVINGTON DWELLERS T 'OF PHONE STATION Residential Neighborhood Is Op posed to Proposed Erection of Structure. rams INVASION CHAMBER WANTS I IN THE NEXT CENSUS VERYONt COUNTED Figures to Stand for 10 Years and Will Be Big Factor in Es tablishing New Trade Sources.

Discussion as to erecting in time a Residents of the Irvington district in the neighborhood of Twenty-fourth and Stanton streets entered a protest with Commissioner A. L. Barbur Saturday against the erection of a substation by the Pacific Telegraph & Telephone com pany at 669 East Twenty-fourth street. A site for the proposed station had already been secured by the telephone company and a permit issued at the city hall calls for the erection of" a $0000 building. J Property owners in the neighborhood, claim that Irvington is a purely resi dence district and resent the intrusion of Industrial enterprises. Among the signers of a petition circu lated by C. D. Ruppe, asking that the building permit be annulled, are the following: J. P. Jaeger, W. J. Hoff man, A. C. Reese, A. B. Reynolds, C. J. B. MalarTtey, A Ruppe and F. W. Preer, all residents and property owners of Irvington. The telephone company proposes to erect an attractive brick building on the site secured and plans to park the sur rounding grounds with lawns and shrubbery." The outcome of the protest by property owners of the district is looked forward to with interest by resi dents of other sections of the city. Ac cording to the provisions of the pro posed zoning ordinance the site of the substation would be included in a resi dence district. given their official Instructions and started to work on Investigations at 2 o clock in the afternoon.

The party platform only broadly hints at such activity in the following ei i tracts : ! "The Communist Labor party proposes xne organisation oz the workers as a Class, the overthrow of capitalistic rule and the conquest of political power by the workers.

In which the working class is mercilessly exploit ed, and the creation of an industrial re public, wherein the machinery of pro duction shall be socialised so as to guar antee the workers the full" social value of the product of their toll." AGAINST SOCIALISM Socialism Is' radically opposed by the communists, their literature, now in charge of Bryon, shows. This opposi tion la expressed in an official commun ist statement, which says. "The Socialist party employed the Chi cago police department to throw out of; the national convention the duly elected delegates of the membership while It packed the convention with 'Socialist' aldermen from New York; the very ones who voted for the erection of an arch of triumph in glorification of the victory of American soldiers over the Red Guards of proletarian Russia at Murmansk." However, local Socialists were eligible to membership in the Portland commun ist branch merely on the strength of j their Socialistic allegiance. They were required to renounce the former party and to hold no other allegiance. PLEDGE IS TAKEN i The following pledge was exacted (possibly another secret pledge was re quired) of all members of the Commun ist party: "I. the undersigned, recog nizing the class struggle between the capitalistic class and the working class, organising itself politically and indus trially for the establishment of com munism, do hereby apply for member ship' in the Communist Labor party. I have no relations, as a member or sup porter, with any other political party. I am opposed to all political organisations that support present capitalistic profits system and am opposed to any form of trading or fusing with such organisa tions. In all political actions, while a member of the Communist Labor party, I agree to be guided by the constitution and platform of that party."

Miss Ella Snldow of Willamette suffered a fractured left arm and severe body bruises and Walter Larson of Willamette received a scalp wound when the automobile in which they were en route from Willamette to Monmouth was struck by Southern Pa cific passenger train No. 48, southbound, at the fairgrounds crossing here Sunday afternoon.

The Portland Chamber of Com merce, realizing the statistical value of complete and full census returns showing Oregon's resources and true population, has gotten squarely be hind Supervisor of Census W. D. Bennett in his check up of Port land. Why every person should be counted was set forth this morning by O. W. Mielke, chairman of the chamber's publicity committee. "The general public view of the cen sus is that it tells bow many people live in a given city or county," Mielke said. "But although that is a big fea ture, tt is by no means the whole story. The Information called for by the gov ernment,' through the enumerators, will, like the population record, stand for 10 years, as the government census is taken only every 10 years. Estimates may be made front time to time, but they are only estimates and business throughout the world bases Its- decisions upon branch houses, opening of new factories or distributing agencies Upon the information gleaned in the regular census, now being taken. "The first thing a business man any where looks up, when considering ex pansion of his line to other territory, is the census statistics, not only as to population but also as to the general conditions abounding in a given city or community where he is casting about for a favorable opening. Portland must have more payrolls and It will be easier to get them If the world of business has full facts as to our actual population and general con ditions) in this territory. All this infor mation will be more certain of being recorded If everyone in Portland will cooperate with the enumerators. This may be done especially by having some one at home to greet the enumerators until each family has? been counted and has answered the questions in full." ALIENS CAUSE DIFFICULTY The naturalization question is creat ing difficulties and some delay for the enumerators. Children, born here, of parents who took out naturalisation pa pers in the past, have but a vague idea, in most cases, of just when the papers were taken out As this Is an essential question on the sheet schedules, Ben nett desires , that the facts be secured and made ready' for the enumerators. Many questions have come in about aliens who have served in the war. The little book of information that lies handy on Bennett's desk says: "Any alien who has served in the United States army,, navy or marine corps can secure naturalization by presenting his discharge papers, accompanied by two or more witnesses, to the proper au thorities." THOSE IN 8ERTICE Soldiers, sailors, marines and civilian employes of the government living else where are to be enumerated as residents of their post of duty, and not as mem bers of the "family" in Portland, Ben nett explained. However, if a civilian employe has his abode or headquarters In the district enumerated, he is to be listed as a mem ber of the "family." The position of chief supervisor' re quires the use of gloves In the, handling of some situations. An enumerator who drew a portion of the Chinese district made an appeal this morning for a Chi nese interpreter. He had ' worked throughout Saturday with the assist ance of a 12-year-old girt . But this morning she shirked. The question that confronted Bennett was : "Could a mem ber of the Hip Sing Tong ask an On Loon Tong the ag of his eldest daugh ter without getting all crippled up?" The chief decided that It was out of the realm of possibilities, so detailed a mem ber of each taction to accompany the interpreter. BARTENDERS OBSOLETE . '"'What is the status of a .man who gives his occupation as a bartender?"! Bennett isn't sure and his force won't comn&tt themselves. So he decided this morning fo put him down as obsolete and lat it go at that ?heienaus returns up' to this morn ing, "including , the business district, showed that Bennett is the busiest man teyP(9rtland at the present time. He Is foregoing all holidays and some meals arid sleep to put Portland over first and best,- (And indications are that he will nothave sacrificed in vain.

This being a Public Service Institution, it is but correct that the Department of Justice at Washington should receive our whole hearted and most enthusiastic co-operation in the effort to Lower the High Cost of Living. i Of Course, It Is a Question of Economics And big or little business cannot long disregard the laws of economics without disaster. The government's idea is correct merchants should force out their present stocks at prices which will' encourage the public to buy. Industry will then be encouraged to greater production speculation will be unprofitable and thiaw of supply and demand will again function, as in normal times. The offerings listed in our four-page section yesterday, devoted to the JANtJARY ECONOMY SALES, conclusively prove that we fully realize and are willing to shoulder the responsibility in connection with our claim to being a Public Service Institution.
