State Labor Commissioner Sends
, ; Protest to Railroad Director in
Behalf of Americans. .
" Salem, Jan. 39. Objection to the
practice of certain employment
agencies in this state In giving pref
erence to Chinese over whites, es
pecially as cooks (or railroad con
struction camps, is voiced by C. II.
Gram, state labor commissioner. In
ft letter directed to Walker D. Htnes,
as director of the federal railroad
administration.
Copies of the letter have been sent to
the American Legion posts at Salem
and Portland, with a view to enlisting
their support in an effort to correct the
practice which is said to work a hard
ship on ex-service men seeking employ
ment at this time.
Oram's complaint is based en the ac
tion of M. C. Threlkelrl. San Francisco
employment agent, with a branch office
in Portland, who. Gram states, "has an
inflexible rule, of his own adoption,
that only Chinese cooks may be cm
ployed In the camps where he Is Riven
authority by virtue of his contract, to
the exclusion of American citizens.
"An agitation has arisen -over this
policy from an Instance that occurred
at a camp on the Southern Pacific line
between Marshfleld and Eugene. A
foreman newly placed In charge of a
bridge gang, believing his authority ex
tended to the kitchen of the camp, dis
missed a Chinese cook and replaced htm
with a cltlsen whose competency has
never been questioned. In a very short
period the foreman realised his mistake
"when orders were received to dismiss
, the citizen-cook and make way, not for
the replacement of the one discharged,
but for another Chinaman."
E. M. Anderson, in charae of Thret-
keld's agency In Portland, defends
f Threlkelds policy in this respect. Oram
States, and ascribes his preference for
Chinese cooks to their creator denenda-
? Willy. '
"This," Oram writes. "Is a cross libel
'on the cooks f this state, and, I feel.
,Bot necessary of refutation in this con
nection." '.. Oram reffardS it as "nartlrtil.rlv m.
'fortunate that an employer should pur-
,mum suen a course at this time with
jmany ex-service men, willing and able,
,,-wno, unner tire, rouowed this vocation
mnd now In va.cn time within the
aphera of Mr. ThrelkeltTs infl ue.ncA am
'denied the opportunity for employment."

phine county, Is the latest candidate to
annouoce himself for the office of sec
retary of state. He makes formal state
ment that he is seeking the Republican
nomination at the coming primary elec
tion, and sets out his platform upon
which he will make his appeal to the
voters of the Ktate as follows :
"1 am a native of Oregon, being; born
at AKliland September 26. 188b. 1 have
had a qualifying business experience and
at the present time am county clerk of
Josephine county, having been elected
to thnt office for four successive terms.
"I am a believer in a blaxer and a
greater Oregon, and In the use of Ore
gon products and feel that every effort
In that direction should be encouraged.
As a member of the board of control
would do all in my power toward that
end.
GOOD ItOADS FATOflEB
"I am an advocate of good roads and
feel that a constructive road building
plan Is not only a benefit to the rural
communities, but that It would also be
beneficial to the future welfare of our
state.
"I am a thorough believer In Irriga
tion and think that the farmers of this
state should have consistent encourage
ment in matters pertaining to errlga
tlon as well as other matters affecting
them, "as they are one of the main fac
tors and standbya In the development
of any state.
TO PROTECT FORESTS -
"It seems to me that there should be
a different national policy In the mat
ter of forest protection in order that our
vast forests be not devastated as they
have been during the past and as an of
ficer of the state I will do what I can
to bring this about.
"If elected to the office to which I
aspire, I will give it my personal atten
tion, and conduct It on a business basis
and to the best of my ability."
Holding in abeyance the plan of
the Mann -Titus company x to have
the Port of Portland commission
guarantee sufficient cargo to estab
lish a local connection for the Norr
way-Paclfle steamship line, the com
mission at a special session at noon

St. Johns to do some extensive and
urjent work at that point. The Wil

vhlcVi la tn H. nutte e.vtniiive.
The commission refused to grant pr
mission to the Marine Repair & Con
struction company to extend launching
ways 62 foet into the harbor on the
ground such an extension would inter
fere with the Irving dock and would
also establish a precedent in permit
ting harbor blocking projects.

Joint committee which is considering re
establlshment of the Lower Alblna ferry.
An opinion was read to the commis
sion, clearing up tffe befogged atmos

except the power to bond Itself to 10

been seized, and nearly 100 men and
numerous women accomplices have been
arrested.
Secret Service Chief John Moran, as
sisted by an army of sleuths, reviewing
the result of the round-up today, felt
convinced that the dragnet had caught
the ringleaders In a gigantio scheme,
with many ramifications, that would
have served to defeat the treasury's
drive to benefit legitimate investors.

New Tork Mall There Is consider
able doubt among bankers whether the C
per cent limit of earning power, as pro
vided In the Cummins railroad bill will
stabilize- their credit position. Francis
H. Sisson. vice presdent of the Guaranty
Trust company, is one who openly ob
jects to this limit action. Mr. Sinson
declared the railroads must have more
partners and fewer creditors. More
friends and fewer exploiters, and that
our next great economic step should be
toward a non-political railroad situation.
White Motor company declarerl a div
idend of 1 a share payable March 31 to

Illinois Central declared dividend ef

of record February 8.

corporation for the last quarter oC
1919 was responsible for a great in
crease of optimism In Wall street ,
Wednesday. Sterling exchange went

pence.
Call money touched 14 per cent In the
afternoon. But in spite of this the re
action stocks was extremely smalt.
It was no bigger than might technically
be expected In view of the rather sharp
advances of the last two or three days.
There were aeveral spots where great
movements seemed to be in the making.
One or two weak spots developed, not
ably tn Middle States Oil and Kreeport,
Texas. Dry Goods. Shell Transport.
American International. Chandler and ,
Savage Arms were strong featnrea.
United States Steel was well purchased
all day long.
In addition to the steel earning-,'
there is a belief based on reports from
Washington that congress Is within a
day or two of agreement on the railroad
legislation. Forces have been at work
in Washington silently but effectively.
Big business realises that the railroad
situation must be straightened out bar ;
fore anything can be done to aet'the
national house In order. Threats of
union tabor to make additional de
mands have hastened this movement
for a compromise. Full consideration
made of the change In the treasury de
partment convinces Well street that
there will be no radical change of policy
as the department has been run and
will he run in accordance with an estab- ,
llehed policy.

ROAD BONDS.
The development of any community is accelerated or slack
ened by the prevailing modes of transportation and com
munication. Bonds issued to build roads, therefore, bear
an intimate relation to prosperity. Road bonds sponsored
by productive western communities are supported by vast
agricultural wealth. Furthermore, the margin of security
is increased as the highway work advances.
We unhesitatingly recommend the following road
bonds as conservative securities affording complete
exemption from federal income taxation:
