Washington, a state which adopted
suffrage by a vote of better than
two to on in 1910. is ready to come
to the aid of the women of other
states to whom the franchise has
not oeen (nwua ay ranryuigr uie
federal amendment and helping to
make suffrage nation-wide.
The legislators of Washington will
convene at Olympia in special session
Monday and within two or three hours
after being called to order at noon will
ratify the national measure.
, The vote of the Washington legisla
ture indorsing suffrage is expected to
be unanimous.
MAT BE LAST STATE
Perhaps It shall come to pass that
WashlpKton completes the necessary
ratification by 36, or three fourths of
the states of the Unton. Thirty-four
states have already ratified the amend
ment, nine of them in regular legisla
tive sessions and the rest in special
meetings.
The Delaware legislature will also
meet in an extraordinary session Mon
day and will consider suffrage ratifica
tion. If the Delaware lawmakers im
mediately dispose of the amendment
. they will make their state the thirty
fifth to ratify, for they have a margin
or three hours difference in time. If
that be the case. Washington will re
ceive the honor of actually putting suf
frage into effect in tne nation.
WAS PIVOTAI, STATE
And It Is altogether fitting that it
should receive such distinction. Suf
frage leaders of America look oh Wash
ington as the "pivotal state" in the long
campaign for "equal rights." It was
Washington that adopted suffrage in
1910, following a period of 14 years in
which no state accorded women the
franchise.
The men of Washington gave suffrage
such an overwhelming majority that the
movement received a wonderful impetus
throughout the country. Greatly en
couraged, suffrage leaderB went to work
with renewed effort and won California
in 1911. Oregon,' Arizona arid Kansas
were victoriously recorded during 1912.
Nevada and Montana followed in 1914.
After that it was merely a question of
time until all of the women of America
became "free."
OTHERS WERE PIONEERS
Preceding Washington in the adop
tion of full suffrage were four other
Western states Wyoming, which has
the honor of being- the very first, in
1869; Colorado, in 1893; Utah, in 1896 ;
Idaho, in 1,896.
Thus it Is observed that while Wash
ington may win the glory of being the
llnal state to complete federal suffrage
ratification, she will have to share with
her Western slaters the glory of being
a pioneer and. in the long struggle of
so years, an "example" for the emancl
patlon of the American woman.

Jury Finds Oster, Frye artd Hurdt
Guilty of Criminal Syndicalism
and Recommends leniency; Law
Fixes Sentence 1 to 10 Years.
Karl W. Oster, Claud Hurst and
Fred W. Fry, members of the Com
munist Labor party, were found
sruilty of violating the state criminal
syndicalism act, under a Jury verdict
returned at 1 1 o'clock this morning.
Penalty for the crime is an indeter
minate prison sentence from one to 10
years. Judge Robert C. Morrow an
nounced that he would pass sentence
March 25.
The verdict of the jury was tempered
with an appeal to the judge for leniency.
The 12 men deliberated on the question
for 14 hours, retiring at 3:45 Friday
afternoon.
"VERDICT FAB REACHING
The conviction Is a severe indictment
against the Communist Labor party, in
asmuch as it was freely admitted by
attorneys for both aides that the sole
question to be decided was whether or
not the party advocated the overthrow
of the United States government by
force and violence.
Oster and Hurst, who have been at
liberty during the trial, were returned
to Jail In lieu of 11000 bail. Fry, who
furnished $500 bail each for the state
and the ' Immigration department, was
allowed to go free temporarily.
W. S. U'Ren, attorney for the men,
announced his intention of appealing the
case as soon as the verdict was read.
Circuit Judge Morrow set April' 15 as
the final date for filing motion for a
new trial, and May 5 for Tiling a bill
of exceptions.
First intimation that the jury had
reached a decision after its long de
bating came about 10:30. when the
numerous followers of the convicted
Reds began flocking slowly into the
courtroom.
Numerous deputy sheriffs also drifted
into the vicinity of the courtroom.
VERDICTS ARE READ . . .
Tho accused, who had spent the morn-'
Ing pacing up and down the courthouse
corridors, took their accustomed places
at -the attorney's table.
The courtroom was death quiet when
the 12 men filed in from the adjoining
Jury room, and Richard Martin Jr.,
Portland architect and foreman of the
Jury, handed the three separate" ver
dicts to the clerk of the court.
The verdicts were deMvered by the
clerk to the Judge who glanced anthem,
and handed them back to the presiding
olerk to read. The clerk Bpoke as fol
lows :
"We, the jury duly empaneled In the
case of the state against Karl W. Oster,
charged with violating the criminal syn
dicalism act, find the defendant guilty
as charged.
'To the Honorable Judge Morrow:
We. the jury, recommend leniency for
the defendant."
Identical verdicts were read for the
Other two defendants.
COURT ROOM ORDERLY
Demonstrations were noticeably ab
sent from the crowded courtroom. Os
teins face set a trifle more than it was
before, while U'Ren whispered the ver
dict to Fry, who is extremely deaf.
After a few court formalities, the
judge declared the case finished and
dismissed the jury.
Oster and Hurst swept past District
Attorney Evans and Deputy District At
torney Bernard, who conducted the
prosecution, throwing them only an
ugly look.
Fry, however, went up to Bernard
and- extended his hand.
"I don't have any hard feelings about
this," h declared. "You only done
your duty and I don t want you to
think that I hold it against you."
In the rear of the courtroom Oster
and Hurst were received with out
stretched hands. They embraced the
multitude and were finally escorted up
stairs.

friendliness to the district attorney,

Bond Dealers of
Portland Slated
To Give Evidence
At Hoff Inquiry
Salem, March 20. No less than
half a dozen men prominent In
Portland financial circles are ex
pected to appear, before the Marion
.county grand Jury, when It recon
venes Monday to' continue the In
quiry Into the conduct of the af
fairs of the state treasury depart
ment by State Treasurer O. P. Hoff.
Among those who are said to have
been subpenaed to appear before the in
quisitorial body are Henry Teal. Port
land, bond buyer ; Edward H. Geary,
vice president of the Lumbermens Se
curity & Trust company ; John A. Keat
ing, with the Lumbermens Trust com
pany ; B. F Fenton, with Freeman,
Camp, Smith & Co., Linn A. Eaatham,
bond salesman formerly with Morris
Bros., and Ralph H. Schneelock, Port
land bond buyer. Paul B. Dunbar, chief
auditor of the Pher company. Salem, is
also said to be elated for apiearance,
as also is Judge Thomas F. Ryan of
Oregon City, deputy treasurer . under
Thomas B. Kay, who was unable to be
here Friday.
Although the secrecy surrounding the
official investigation precludes the pos
sibility of garnering any inside Infor
mation as to the nature of the testimony
that might be given by these witnesses,
it is expected that they will be called
upon to tell of the policy followed by
banking houses in the purchase of
bonds and the policy of bond houses in
the handling of these securities. State
Treasurer Hoff. in his statement in re
ply to the allegations of mismanage
ment of state funds in the purchase tf
bonds, declared that it was not the
policy of his office to go back of the
statement of the bona house to ascer
tain the price paid by them for a bond
before purchasing the same, if the price
at which it was offered to the state pro
vided a good investment.
This policy, he explained, was the
same as that followed by his predees'
sore in office, as well as by banks gen
erally in the purchase of bonds.
Among those appearing before the
jxand Jury Friday were Governor 01-
cott. who ordered the Investigation;
Thomas B. Kay, former state treasurer,
and Alfred C. Reese, Portland news
paper man.
Contrary to published reports, State
Treasurer Hoff, whose bond buying
transactions are under fire, did not ap
pear before the grand jury , Friday.
Before the conference adjourned
for lunch, practically all the dairy
men In attendance had signed np
for a five-year contract.
Encouraged by the plans outlined
by Aaron Saplro, San Francisco at
torney, and Alma D. Katz, president
of the Oregon Dairymen's league.
Oregon milk producers in all-day
session at Library hall today, are pre
pared to get into the saddle and
drive the dairy industry into a posi
tion where they can make prices
which will pay the expenses of milk
production.
After hearing Sapiro and Katz this
morning several hundred dairymen
were prepared to vote into being this
afternoon the cooperative organization
through which they hope a majority of
the dairy business of the state will
henceforth be handled.
STOX-PKOFIT ORGANIZATION
The proposal is for the creation of a
non - profit1 cooperative association.
without capital stock, under the laws
of the state, for the purpose of promot
ing, fostering and encouraging the busi
ness of producing and marketing milk
and its py-products cooperatively, and
for reducing speculation and for stabil
izing the milk markets ; for coopera
tively and collectively handling the
problems of dairymen, and for other
pertinent purposes."
Under the same .plan the "league
agrees to buy and the dairyman agrees
to sell and deliver to the league all the
milk produced, by or for him in Oregon,
or at any place tributary to Portland."
from July 1, 1920, to December 31,
1925.
This morning's meeting was marked
by discussion of production costs in the
dairy Industry and from that echoed
what one speaker characterised as the
dairyman's interest in seeing "that the
consumer gets a square deal in prices."
LACK OF CONTROL IS TROUBLE
Sapiro said : "The present high cost
of milk is not due to control of fresh
milk by the dairymen, but rather to
lack of control."
In the reorganization plan submitted
it is proposed to erect a central dis
tributing milk and milk by-products
plant in Portland, to which ail the milk
handled by the members of the league
will be shipped. Such action will, it is
believed, help materially to reduce high
distribution costs.
The plan of organization has been
generally approved by all the members
of the Dairymen's league, who number
over 2000.

Washington, March 20. (WASH
INGTON BUREAU OF THE JOUR
NAL.) Reports received here to
day from H. H. Ebey, assistant direc
tor of the Pacific coast district,
United States shipping board, saya
assignments of vessels now being
made to operating companies on the
Pacific coast are permanent.
The steamer' Boynton. now building
at San Diego", has been assigned to the
Columbia-Pacific .Shipping company tor
operation 'out of Cortland.
Explanation that assignment of ships
now being made by the shipping board
Is permanent, only partially clears the
confusion arising In the minds of local
steamship operators as a result of the
recent announcement by Admiral Ben
son that of the 188 vessels allocated to
Ihe Pacific coast, 37 are to be oper
ated out of Portland.
The only explanation given locally In
regard to this tonnage' has been the
conjecture that the vessels were prob
ably intended to carry flour from Port
land to the Atlantic.
There is now available 100,000 tons
of flour monthly for the next four
months, and shippers have been antici
pating the assignment of tonnage by
the shipping board to handle this. How
ever, if Ebey's assertion is correct, then
the vessels are due to remain perma
nently here and will probably be as
signed to projected lines. If they were
used only in the flour trade, then the
business would only be temporary.
None of the ships sent from here In the
last year with flour cargoes for the
Atlantic has ever returned to Port
land. The steamer Boynton, referred to In
the Washington dispatch, is believed
by operators to be the wooden steamer
Boynton, now being completed at the
Port Of Portland drydock. The Boyn
ton has been assigned to the Columbia
Pacific for operation, but destination
has not yet been named.
