Request for Ships for Portland
Oriental Run Made of Shipping
Board byToIumbia Pacific.
, Requests for the allocation of two
passenger-cargo liners for operation
' between the Columbia river and
Oriental ports, have been made to
the United States Shipping board by
the Columbia-Pacific Shipping com
pany, according (to Information pub-
" Ilshed Saturday. . -:
It baa been reported in local shipping
circles for several weeks that deep draft,
heavy tonnage vessels, capable of hand
ling passenger and cargo business be
tween ?hia port and the Far East were
- to be requested by the Columbia-Pacific
company. .' . .
There is a possibility that the ships
if allocated will be former German pas
t. senger-cargo steamers commandeered by
the government during the war. There
are several of these ships now being ope
rated by the shipping board in Atlantic
service. , ...
SHITS DEEP-TDOAJ'T . ,1 V
Tteports current . along the waterfront
would indicate that the vessels will be
of extra deep draft and that it would
be necessary to complete loading the
vessels at' Astoria except during high
water stages in the. river. ;
" The Columbia-Pacific company, which
entered the Pacific Coast. shipping field
. about a year and a half ago. -was reor
'.. ganized this spring. It is distinctly a
Portland owned and operated company
'and business men of .this city are de
pending upon its activities to bring Port
land to the fore, as an important port
of the Pacific
m Already the company has entered act
ively into the freight service and has
' obtained ' the allocation of five steel'
. steamers for ' regular service between
Portland, Shanghai, Tsingtau, Tien Tsin,
I"arien and possibly Vladivostok. The
North China service was inaugurated in
March with the sailing of the Angeles.
OTHFB STEAMERS ASKED " "
This company is also reported to have
asked for the allocation - of steamers
for operation between Portland and the
west coapt of South America, for a line
to Australia and for vessels to be util
' ized as a feeder line on the China coast
for the regular vessels in North China
service. -
Requests for passenger -steamers mark
. a new era in the history of the port
as Portland has never entered actively
into' foreign passenger business.
Competing ports on the Pacific coast
ae using the fact that Portland has
never entered the foreign passenger field
before as a reason for the .allocation of
ali passenger vessels to them.
Vessels of the type desired by the
- Columbia-Pacific company are building
on the Atlantic ' coast. These vessels
are of a 12,000 ton deadweight type and
will be ready for service in the fall.
They are capable of maintaining a sail
ing speed of X,t knots, will be over 500
feet in length and provide thoroughly
modern passenger quarters.
BUSINESS IS AHEAD .
Large amounts of silks'and other val
uable goods which, demand "quick sailing
service could be accommodated If .such
a line were placed in operation, and
this would swell the volume of the value
of Imports and exports to the credit of
Portland.
Members of the board of directors of
the Chamber of . Commerce have grven
hearty indorsement to the request of the
Columbia-Pacific company and all busi
ness men will rally to the support of
the new request.
Millions Overpaid
In War Insurance
To Be Investigated
Washington. May! 22.- (I. N. S.)
Congressional investigation of the bu
reau of war risk insurance will be
eeught by Senator Smoot of Utah, as
.the result of evidence laid before him
showing that many millions of dollars
have been overpaid . by the bureau to
soldiers and their beneficiaries.
The evidence ' was given Senator
Smoot by - C C. .Vargas of San Fran
-Cisco, formerly disbursing officer.
' Director Cho'lmely-Jones of the bureau
stated that the matter of overpayment
was a matter of common knowledge,
and that "there was nothing' spicy in
it." Overpayments are held to be due
to mistakes and: discrepancies "which
were due to pressure during the war.

EDUCATIONAL BILLS
ACCORDED
VCTORY
School for Blind Gets Largest
Affirmative Vote; Capital .
Punishment Wins.
By a tremendous majority Oregon
has voted to keep the Reds out of
the little red school house. The bill
providing larger support for elemen
tary schools,' including increase of
teachers' salaries, carried with a
vote of 3 to 1, according to the re
turns from 27 counties. Including
Multnomah.
With almost the same generous dem
onstration in behalf . Of education, the
millage tax for the University of Ore
gon, Oregon Agricultural college and
Oregon Normal school haj carried.
BILL FOR BLIXD LEADS .
Both- sentiment and 1 iberality are
reflected in the vote cast for the state
school for the adult blind ; this measure
has the largest favorable majority of the
nine measures on the ballot., .
The majority in' favor of restoring
capital punishment as a penalty for
murder slowly grows with : the multi
plication of the returns. . . .
The voters of the state even gave
their approval to the plan to select as
governor pro tempore, successively the
president of .the senate and the speaker
of the house in the event of the regular
ly elected governor's incapacitation.
Crook and Curry counties are entitled
to jubilate for a strong majority grants
them the' right to issue warrants to be
taken up by refunding bonds and there
by meeting a financial 'emergency in
both counties. .
SAILORS' AID WISS ..''
The soldiers' aid bill, which enlarges
the educational aid given ex-service men,
has apparently carried with ' about the
same large majority accorded the meas
ure adopted - at the last election.'
A considerable number of voters seems
tc hold in doubt the plan to increase the
state road bonding limitation to 4 per
cent of the assessed value of property in
Oregon, but there were twice as many
who deemed it desirable that the state
be permitted to go on with its road build
ing program. .
The measure establishing eminent-domain
over roads and ways has a ma
jority of more than 3. to 1.

MINERS AGAINST
POSSIBLE - STRIKE
No Walkout Will Be Tolerated
While Committee Is Busy on
. Wage Adjustment, He Says.
Washington. . May 22. (U. P.)
President : WJlson tonight told an
thracite miners and "operators that
if they are unable to reach a wage
agreement in joint conference he will
'insist' that their controversy be
submitted toe a special commission
for adjustment.
Wilson also ( emphasized that a strike
will not be toterated while the commis
sion is at work. His letter was sent
to President -f John T. Lewis of the
United Mine ; Workers, to be read . by
him Monday when anthracite miners go
into special conference at Wilkesbarre.
Pa., to pass on the report of Lewis
and other leaders who negotiated with
operators here In closed session with
Secretary Wilson of the labor depart
ment. DECISION MAY't7
Operators are to hear the convention's
decision at a conference here May 27.
President Wilson's message reads in
part as follows:.'
"I have been advised there Is a possi
bility you may not come to an agree
ment. I am sure I need not remind
you that we hive not yet recovered
from the economic losses incident to
the war. A strike at any time In a
great basic industry like anthracite coal
mining would be a very disturbing fac
tor 4n our lives and industries. Any
shortage in the supply would affect a
multitude of homes that have been
especially equipped for use of this kind
of fuel. Such a condition must not
occur if there is any way of avoiding it.
SHOULD BEACH AGREEMENT
'"I am not familiar with the technical
problems affecting the making of your,
wage scale. You should therefore be
able to effect an agreement.
If for any reason you are unable
to do so. I shall Insist that the matters
in dispute be submitted to. the decision,
of a commission to be appointed by me,
the award of the commission to be
retroactive to the first of April, in ac
cordance with the arrangement you
have already entered Into, and that ,
work be continued at the mines pending
the decision of. the commission."

clothes for men; L. System clothes for young
men; Skolny clothes for young men and boys;.
Wearpledge insured clothes for boys, as well as
other makes of proven reliability.
3 My regular: prices on these clothes afford
less profit than usual, because I have .earnestly
sought to keep clothing prices down, rather
than up. ' j - p-: : -
4 The reductions, amounting to 20 (and
more in many cases) have been made ffom orig
inal prices. Not one price ticket has been
changed or removed. The table of reductions
is-shown in the adjoining column. The custo
mer makes an actual saving on each suit; on a
man's suit this saving amounts to several dollars.

ginning of this sale, bring me the sales slip and
I will pay you; the difference in cash. If your
account was charged with a suit during the same
