DISPUTE ON MILK MAY GO TO CITY ARBITRATION n The controversy between milk distributors and the Dairymen's league over the price of milk may be placed before a. commission ap pointed by Mayor Baker it Deputy City Attorney Mackay finds on close Investigation that contested points of the two factions are sufficient to Varr&nt such a bearing. A committee representing the dls- 'trlbutors appeared before Mayor Baker this mornine to urse his appointment of such s commission to settle me ais putes. They contended that the Dairy men's league was misrepresenting facts to the public and that they, the dis tributors, desired to lay their case-before an .impartial body. . "I do not desire to set mixed up In any controversy over milk prices," said Mayor Baker, "but If the breach Is found to be serious between the dis tributors and Dairymen's league I will gladly appoint the commission. I'm in clined to believe, however, that the mat ter, can be settled between the two parties without any trouble," r Mackay is expected to report to Mayor Baker Friday, following an investiga tion of both sides of the case.

Ames received this honor through hie word as American representative of the inter-allied committee on timber which dealt with all the timber used by the allies. His last five months in 3 "ranee were spent In Paris on this work. Ames was' a captain of the Twentieth for estry Engineer!. He is the only Ameri can officer jf the forestry engineers below the rank of a lieutenant-colonel to be elected to the legion and few lieutenant-colonels are selected.

Fry and Claude Hurst, convicted last week before Circuit Judge Mor row of criminal syndicalism in. con nection with their membership In the state communist party, was post poned this morning by the court until April 10 on motion of Attor ney W. F. tTRen for an arrest of judgment. In his motion, tTRen contended that sections of the syndicalism act are void because they are in direct contravention with the state constitution In that an attempt is made to define and provide punishment for the crime of treason under the name of criminal syndicalism. Treason against the state, according to the constitution, the defense attorney claims, consists only of the levying of war against the state or adhering to its enemies and giving aid and comfort to them. The act is also contrary to the federal constitution, U'Ren maintains, in that it abridges the privilege of free speech. free assemblage and free writing. "It will be a very, very interesting argument," said Judge Morrow in fixing date for hearing the motion. The defendant Frye Is now out on 1500 bond to the state and $500 to the United States immigration authorities, and arrangements were made to release Oster and Hurst today on the posting of 850 cash bond for each man. IS DAY SCALE WILL BE PAID COMMON LABORERS "If you pay common laborers 6 a day you can be sure that the matter of wages will frequently come back to roost with us," said Commissioner Big elow Wednesday In opposing Commis sioner Barbur's resolution establishing the wages of employes who are build ing the permanent smallpox hospital at Kelly Butte. Barbur contended that 16 km the reg ular union scale and that failure to pay would mean less work completed, as well a trouble among other craftsmen. Blgelow asserted that the city would have considerable' trouble with Its la borers who are now getting but $5. Blgelow removed his objection when Mayor Baker declared that the matter was an emergency and should not be Barbur's resolution was passed unanimously. CHIEF STATE WITNESS IS "UNDER FIRE" COURT rEOCEEDIJVGS MAY . i HALT COMFORT STATIONS Portland Is badly In need of public comfort stations, but fear of business houses Instituting mandamus proceed ings which would tie up the work for over a year has prevented any action being taken, according to Commissioner Pier. A location at West Tark and Alder streets, once contemplated by Tier as a possible site for a comfort station. . has been given up for the same rea lon. " Bids' for a comfort station In the basement of the new flrehouse at Fourth and Taylor streets were opened simultaneously with the recent award for the conKtruction of the flrehouse.

JUJNICIPAL BAND CONCERTS CHAMPIONED BY PIER Band concerts will be held in Port land's parks during the coming summer if the efforts of Commissioner Pier, in charge of the park bureau, are of any fvatl in preventing the- council from trimming the $10,000 budget allowed last November. "It will be a shame If the concerts are done away with this year," said Pier. "People are railing n every day urging that they not be deprived of the music. Worklngmen especially are eager to have the concert. Many are indignant that the- thought of doing away with the ccwicerts lias been enter tained by council members.

ALIMONY OF $20,000 ASKED BV WOMAN SEEKING DIVORCE Inhuman treatment in the forcing of his wife to do the heavy work on a farm In Missouri is- one of the grounds on which Mrs. Edith Lewis is seeking- a divorce from Melvina LeiPts of Gentry, Mo., In a complaint filed Wednesday In the circuit court Unable to stand the treatment longer, the complaint alleges, the wife left Mis souri last year and came to her mother In Portland.

Her husband was a kleptomaniac, Mrs. Lewis charges, stealing personal property from his neighbors and tools from men who worked for him.

( Continued From Pag One.) this by a young coworker who promised to drop a piece of steel On his head if he didn't join the organization. He de nied that his membership in the organ ization was for the purpose of spying. "You had no idea of testifying against them, then," Vandervecr asked. "No." "Are you afraid of the I. W. W.?" "No." "When did you get over being afraid of them?" aswed the attorney. "When I found out who they were," Allen replied. 77.SSS BEDS IS SEATTLE 1 The witness stated that 77,000 mem bers of' the I. W. W. were around Seattle in September, 1919. "Where did you get that information?" asked Vanderveer. The witness an swered that it was reported at a general organization committee meeting which he attended. Allen said that he had never been a member of the Socialist, Communist or Communist-Labor par ties. A long line of defense exhibits offered to the witness by Vanderveer rr iden tification, Allen said he had never seen. Vanderveer asked as to the bulletins of the I. W. W. branches, and the wit ness said that they were confidential reports as to strikes, jobs and so on, together with financial statements. , "Io you know the position of the I. W. W. on destruction of property as declared In its confidential bulletins to members?" Vanderveer asked. Dis trict Attorney Evans objected, and the objection was sustained. ACTED AS CHAIEMA5 As chairman of various committees, Allen said he had presided at 10 or 12 I. W. W. meetings in Seattle. In the First and Columbia streets hall in Se attle, he said, meetings were held up stairs in other labor organization rooms because It was understood that the po lice would not permit meetings In the regular hall. In another question Vanderveer men tioned that the hall was open under an injuctlon of the court, which ruled that not more than 1 persons were allowed there at-one time. "Why is this testimony offered?" the judge asked. Printers' Scale in " Tacoma Cut Down" For Coming Year Tacoma, Wash., March 25. (U. P.)

W. Metz ger and W. L. Klnser Jr. Richard W. Price, who is also presi dent of the Oregon State Hotelmen's association, is the retiring president of the Anglers' club. He Is understood to be vigorously opposed to the proposed ticket on the ground that it is a "slate" maneuvered by those who wish the An glers' club to be dominated by political influences ascribed to the fish and game commission. The club has been In con tention with the fish and game com mission most of the year and Its protest was largely responsible for the com mission's reorganization at the special legislative session.

Sugar Profiteering Indictment Against Grocer Dismissed A. W. Anderson, grocer, recently charged by the government with viola tion of the Lever food control act by sell ing sugar at more than 13 cents a pound, which had4 been declared "fair" by the federal fair price commissioner, today was freod from chances of prosecution when Federal Judge Wolverton dismissed the indictment on motion of United States Attorney Humphreys. Anderson sold sugar for 14 cents a pound, and inasmuch as L. Eckert. Woodstock grocer, who sold sugar for 13 FURTHER RISE IN GASOLINE PRICES REPORTED COMING Another rise In the price of gaso line is said to be slated by the Standard Oil company April 1. This information emanates from two sources, either one of which would be reasonably authentic. One of .these sources said there would be a rise "in the next few days' of "3 cents." The other said there "would be a rise April 1," but the amount was not given.. Further evidence that a rise Impends was contained in a message from New York over a broker wire Tuesday that the wholesale market thad advanced there. This was evidently an unexpected and premature leak and the report was throttled so quickly that telegraph news bureaus In New York city met denials, but they admit they received orders to stop the sale of coupons and that they did so yesterday afternoon The price rose In November from 23 to 25 cents a gallon and March 15 from 25 to 27 cents. Local officials of the Standard Wednesday denied that orders to in crease the price had been received. Standard Oil officials this morning ex plained that discontinuance of the sale of coupons was a move to protect the small user of gasoline. If big concerns and speculators should be allowed to go into the market and buy unlimited volume of gasoline at current prices, It is explained. In case later it should be necessary again to increase the price., the Increase would have to be sufficient to overcome any loss occasioned through prior sale at lower price to the bi consumers and speculators. This would have to he shouldered by the small con sumer who is unable financially to buy rills gasoline supply in large amounts. they said. Moreover, if its output of gasoline for perhaps years ahead were sold at current prices, the company could not more than nominally raise the price, no matter how much It cost it to produce the gasoline. This discontinuance of coupons, the Standard officials believed. Inspired the circulation of a rumor of another In crease, even to the extent of fixing the amount and the date.

AMERICAN ACQUIRES CONCRETE CAN CO. EAST SIDE L DING SOVIET MONEY IS REPORTED TO BE ASSISTING REVOLT cents, was acquitted after trial In United States district court, chances of convic tion of Anderson seemed small.

Labor' armistice in the battle for a dicta torship by the proletariat may en- - dure for six or eight weeks, accord ing to present plans, it was learned from a prominent labor leader to- day. . ' "' (The "armistice" mentioned evidently refers to the lull In the struggle at Ber tin and not to the reported cessation of 1 hostilities In the Ruhr district between Reds and government troops.) "There Is a possibility that a Rus sian army wlM appear upon the Lithua nian frontier in the meantime to co-. operate with the German workers' army, ; if impatient workers do not precipitate a crisis before the workers' plans are, fully matured." said this labor leader. TIME TO PREPARE I "The armistice will- give us time t rrepare for a renewal of the struggle. We have three powerful weapons ; First, the general strike ; second, the workmen's army, and third, Russian money. - (This was the first revelation that Russian money is being used In Oer many to further the cause of counter .. revolution against the Ebert govern ment) "The striker are without fundaand have very little food. 'They are worn out and need an armistice to gather their strength and to stock dp their larders. We shall use every effort through' propaganda to win over those .,. now supporting the Ebert government. "Measures will be taken to Insure the completeness of the next general ; strike. In the meantime the Russian money will be distributed where it wilt do the most good." The labor leader explained that his fellow chiefs were careful about using the terms "Reds" and "Bolshevism" in describing the struggle which now Is . in progress because they feared ths , sympathies of the more conservative trade unionists might be alienated.
