WEDNESDAY, JULY 3. IZZO. KA-TZ REELECTED HEAD OF OREGON DAIRYMEN S BODY Challenge tor a sweeping Investi gation of the entire milk situation In Portland, impartially and fully covering the records of the distribu tors as well as those of the pro ducers and all the intermediary and branch business interests interlacing, voiced by President vAlma D. Kats . of the Oregon Dairymen's Coopera tive league, has not yet been ac cepted by the city. Kats -declared that the Investi gation of D e p,u t y City , Attorney . Lionel Mackay never gave the league a , chance, that Information profered by ' the league officials was not accepted and that not one favorable note toward the organization, which Is composed of over 2000 dairymen mnd farmers of Ore gon, appeared in the Mackay report. General Manager Hall . of the league said Wednesday morning that he had personally offered every assistance pos sible to Mackay when the latter 'first began his investigation. Mackay in ; formed him, he says, that the league ; was ot being investigated. If results later showed an investigation of the : , league was necessary, the attorney Is said to have declared, the league offi cials would "be notified. Twice after wards President Kats proffered assist ance in the investigation, Hall declares, 'which was ignored. EVIDENCE IS SCORED Upon hearsay evidence from outsid ers, Kats declared, Mackay condemned the -league, and upon Information sup ' plied him by the distributors them selves ; hs "whitewashed" the Portland milk dealers. To a Journal reporter Tuesday the rdeputy?cty attorney virtually admitted 'the superficiality of his Investigation so far as the leatrue was concerned. Mackay said he did not go to see the league officials In the course of the Investigation, although h called them by telephone. He did go to' see the Portland ' dls , tributors and examined their books, the attorney explained. Afterward he ' called the league officials and told them' of his findings and of what his report would consist. Then, because the league of ficials did not bring their records (to him at the ' cHy hall, the deputy city attorney gave them no word of explanation in his re port.. . ... - i Mackay was charged by Acting Mayor : Btgelow to make a complete, unbiased investigation of the reason why the 'price of milk to the Portland consumer j Increased from 13. to 14 cents. 8EARCH IS HADE Being, thus empowered with all the forces of the city behind him, he admits ' seaching through the records of distrib utors and Interviewing them because he ' was Invited" to do so. Because the league officials did not "invite" him, his Investigation of the league was con fined to hearsay. ( Mackay was informed Tuesday by a .Journal reporter that he could still in spect the books of the dairymen's league and talk to Its officials at any tinfe. and - that arrangements could be made at his own convenience. "J do not care at this time to go to their offices," he responded. AH of which is still aside from the Is sue of why Portland has to pay 14 cents for a quart tt milk. The distributors ; are" paying $3.20 a hundred pofinds, 6.9 i cents a quart, for milk from the pro ducers, when purchased through the league. Their balance of gross profit is . 7.1 cents a quart. Out of this comes all the overhead incident to pasteurization, bottling, weighing and distributing. ; SEALERS DISTRIBUTE PAMPHLET The Portland milk dealers, represent ing the other side of the controversy. have been, giving wide circulation to a pamphlet entitled "Are Oregon Dairy - men 'Being Misled'?" The pamphlet is sent out by the advertising committee of the milk dealers' organisation. There has been much comment on this - publication, which tells of the experience of California dairymen with the coop erative league and asks the question. "How do the promoters of the 'dairy men's league' reconcile their glowing promises up here with what happened in California?" This is the pamphlet being sent out by C M. Gregory, spokesman for the- Portland milk dealers. Writing from Gaston. C. H. Bryant. '- a dairyman, enclosed a copy of this pamphlet to The Journal, saying:' "Here is a leaflet put out by the milk dealers of Portland. CALLS CEXTS REASONABLE 'The marked paragraph states that they can make a reasonable profit at 6 cents a quart for distribution. They now receive practically 8 cents. v This statement explains why the consumer pays so much for hi milk. They make : more than a reasonable profit." The marked paragraph reads: "Investigation shows that. wlih proper handling, the distribution of milk, in cluding a reasonable profit to the dls . trlbutor. costs about 6 cents per quart.

Negotiations between two of the larg est Portland distributors and the league for the signing of a contract whereby the distributors would secure their sup ply of milk from producers belonging to the league, have apparently fallen through. . . DEAL FALLS THROUGH The Riverview and Fern wood dairies are reported to have been on the verge of signing up with the league, but offi cials of the latter now admit that ne gotiations have terminated without any result. ; The league directors met Tuesday and elected officers for the year. Alma D. Katz was reelected president, Jacob Luscher, Falrview, first vice president ; Thomas Carmichael, Gaston, second vice president ; A. B. Flint. Beavertqn, A. E. Westcott. Banks, and Theodore Brueg ger Gresham, members of the executive committee. Full power was given the executive committee to act on all matters. The full board" of directors consists of 25 members, elected . by the league mem bership. MEETIXO ABAKD03ED There will be no mass meeting of dairymen next Saturday. Matters per taining to milk prices and' plans for re tail delivery by the league were to have been taken up at the proposed meeting, but saving the grain and hay crops was considered as of such importance to league members just now that no time will be taken for meetings until after the rush of harvest work is ov$r. LAY-OFFS AND LOWER WAGES STIR GOMPERS (Oootlnaed From Fur One) machinery fully employed well Into 1920 and with good prospects for full produc tion for the entire year. Foreign de liveries Increased approximately 100 per cent during 1919. R. B LAYS OFF ME5 "In addition to this case there is the action of the Pennsylvania railroad In laying off approximately 12.000, if re ports are accurate. "Will this help to move 'freight ? Will It help to give the nation that increased production - of which it stands in real need ? "Or is the laying off of workers a re vival of that old and crude policy of laying off men during a political cam paign for the purpose of driving them In fright and necessity into a political Camp? " ; ' "In addition to the laying off of men there have been reports of efforts to decrease wages, i ; "It will be recalled that in 1907 and 190S employers sought to reduce wages, the result of which at that time would have been to produce a panic. REPEATS WAGE WARNING "The American Federation of Labor sent forth the warning that we would resist and resist and resist, and we para phrased a saying and declared it better to resist and lose than not to resist at all. ' "The policy of reducing wages . was abandoned as a result of that warning. We repeat that t warning today. . "At all .hazards we will resist wage reductions. There is no excuse and much less reason for reduction in wages. We will tolerate no reduction op wages. Even yet we have ground to cover be fore we restore to all the purchasing power of 1912. I ; ! NATION NEEDS PRODUCTION "The nation needs production. Em ployers have called for production too frequently as a means of driving the workers to unpaid efforts, and in order to cast a reflection upon their efforts and their honesty and integrity. "There is no trouble with the efficiency of the workers. Tliere is a growing ef ficiency of workers. There is too In frequently an equal efficiency and in tegrity and intelligence in the manage ment of Industry. The action of corpo rations today- that lay off thousands of men Is nothing less than a tremendous indictment of management and a hein ous offense against a people in need of every possible ounce of production. FAIRNE8S IS REQUIRED "What :is needed above 'everything else today is continuous operation of industry with a fairness and honesty and intelligence upon the part of em ployers that will' make continuous op eration ' possible. "Two employment policies will hinder production -that is the reduction of the working forces ; : brutal efforts to drive the workers without consultation and without agreement with the workers. "The mills and factories must run. Management should consult with work ers through the chosen representatives of the workers. . The cooperation to be achieved by such a policy will give the nation the production that it needs and that is needed by the whole world. . "Arrogance,1 bigotry and autocratic conduct of employers is a waste that so ciety can ill afford." Mrs. Adams leaves for Capital San Francisco, July 28. (U. P.) Mrs. Annette Adams, former United States district attorney here, today is en route to Washington to take up her duties as an assistant United States attorney general.

TAYLOR STRANGELY PROPHETICOFHIS OWN TRAGIC DEATH They'll have to catch me when I'm not looking." said Sheriff Til Taylor of Pendleton,in Portland two weeks ago, when a friend suggested that some of the "bad" men who lie was so successful - in capturing, would "get him sometime. The strangely prophetic conversation took place at the Imperial hotel and wa with George V. Hamilton, superin tendent of The Journal building, a life long friend of the famous sheriff. Hamilton at one time was clerk on the Umatilla reservation, and later was in the grain business at Pendleton. While on the reservation. Hamilton had known an Indian named Neil Hart, and Taylor explained that the Hart whom he had Just captured and who later was his atayer, was a half breed from Idaho; "Til, why didn't you shoot him?" asked Hamilton when Taylor told of the gun battle with Owen, the . other desperado, who is now a fugitive with Hart. "I got him that was all," replied Tay lor quietly. "You know I never do any thing like that. The taxpayers don't pay me to murder the men I arrest." "I know that. Til." Hamilton said, "but they're going to get you some day and you're too good to be shot down by any of those fellows." . "They'll have to catch me when I'm not looking and shoot me In the back." said the sheriff, teUIng of the very thing that was done later. Taylor was never known by any other name than lust Til. Hamilton says, but he. was really christened Tillman X. Taylor. "He was an exceptional man In every way," commented Hamilton, "the finest man I have ever known. The Round-Up will not be the Round-Up without Til Taylor out to the front." ; BY ARID GUARDS (Continued From Pafe One) ing of their sleeping places were given varying credence at headquarters. Officers late Tuesday night left for Cayuse to run down the report that a house there had been held up and food taken. The sheriffs office would not confirm the report, but special officers are known to have left suddenly for the country... .:,: Reports from' the Tulloch ranch in the Birch creek region Tuesday afternoon said that another sleeping place of men thought to belong to the escaped quintet had been found. This report caused officers directing the search to renew efforts on the Birch creek clue which had grown somewhat cooler in the morn ing with reports from the fequaw creek canyon, several miles east. SEARCH KEPT UP . Athough hundreds of men are work ing with a grim determination to take the criminals, the results thus far have not been encouraging. But the organ ization of searchers is pronounced ef ficient and the lines thrown out through the hills impenetrable. Constant vigil has been kept for the men, but no one has actually proved having seen any of them. . Considerable strength is given the be lief that part of the party is In the canyon of Squaw creek,-unable to get out and yet Impossible of detection. Hope is held that at least two of the hunted men ; are there and that sooner or later they will be forced to come out In search of food. VOLUNTEERS POUR IJf Trained officers from nearby counties continue to add their strength to the search. Sheriff Oeorge McDuffy, former Sheriff E. M. Shutt and Deputy Walter Cason of Heppner all tendered ' their services Tuesday and went to work im mediately after the Taylor funeral. Alf Oftendal, an internal revenue operative, who is familiar with the country in which the fugitives are thought to be, has been Bent for at Portland. A new report,' brought In by a man from the west of the county, was that he had passed a' big touring car going west at high speed, in the tonneau of which he recognized a man strongly re sembling Hart. There were four men; roughly clad, in the car, and it turned after it had paSsed and went: down a hill to Nolin, IS miles west of here. . The information was relayed to search ers at Echo. . YANKEE CREW'S SKILL WON, SAYS CONNOLLY (Continued From Pace One) board of advisers on the after deck. Swap captains and crews and we doubt it the cup would have stayed here. DAT "TOO PERFECT" , The sun was dancing on a million, lit tle waves, none of . them over , eight Inches high, when we arrived off Sandy Hook Tuesday morning. It looked as if it might turn out to be another one of what we have come to call perfect days for cup racing that is, a perfectly smooth sea and no wind. At noon, the regular hour for starting, there was still no air stirring. ' We had to wait two hours before the committee decided to let them try it. So up went the preliminary ' signal and the two boats began to sail circles and triangles around the lightship.- In this maneuver ing we were glad to see a little less passiveness on the Shamrock's part. She acted as if there might be a new hand at the wheel. We have not learned offi cially whether there was or not. but certainly for once she had the best of the Resolute, starting off. Both were so busy trying to head each other off that they were late for the final gun. But,it was the green lady which went over first and to windward and netted 40 seconds for herself by her better start and 40 second is a big ttem to these sentitive creatures. -SHAMROCK BESTS RESOLUTE . . Standing in to the Jersey shore; and catching fugitive breezes seems to be a part of the strategy of these cup races off the Hook. TheShamrock did that almost, immediately today. The white one followed. And then for the first time without benefit of flukey airs ws saw the Shamrock get the best of-the Resolute to windward In a light breeze. They stood in and they Stood- off. A noble little tug with two empty mud scows in tow steamed straight a&ross the line of progress and thereby started a squadron of sub chasers and destroyers to heading full tilt her way. She bumped PAIR RUN PURSUED out of the way finally, but the Resolute I had to tack to save running her down. ' which would have been the finish of the Resolute as a cup racer. She lost a few seconds by tacking and caused us some worry, for the Shamrock was at this time still in the lead and showing no signs of losing it HAIL SIDE BY SIDE Ten r miles from the start it was a 15 mile leg to windward and return the Shamrock waa still ahead. At one time they sailed four miles or so almost side by side, the Shamrock trying to edge the end of that ugly bowsprit she carried across the Resolute's quarter. Three times the Resolute tacked and stood back again to see if she could outpoint her rival.. The third time she picked up the gentlest little puff and crossed the green one's bow. The wind was not over five miles an hour as she did it, but these freaks can sail about as fast as the wind itself when it Is light like that Before the Shamrock picked up that little puff she waa a half mile in the white one's wake. RUJT HOME KO RUJf And the race was as good as over right there! The Shamrock had to be three minutes in the lead at the outer mark if she were to beat the Resolute and her time handicap home. And she was not three minutes in the lead she; waa a good quarter mile astern when the outer mark was reached. The run home was no run at all. Both boats set their big balloons and they looked very pretty under the sun. These balloons are of the lightest of cotton cloth. Thirty-six square feet or them weigh about a pound. They flowed out beauti fully ahead of the boats and the wind just - settled right into the fullness of them i and pulled them along in good shape. SEEKS FLUKE WIXD8 Now that they were around we naturally thought they would point straight for the home boat The Reso lute did that at first But the Sham rock, evidently being satisfied she was beaten unless she got some break in her favor, did not do that She. set sail off the line and for the Jersey shore. It was the strategy of the fluke winds again. But nothing, came of It. The Resolute had a man " to her masthead to watch out for just such little flukes and when the green lady did get a little puff the white one at once headed in also. The Resolute did not intend losing this race and the cup by accident that was cer tain. . She lost one race by an accident and one was enough. And so they dawdled on toward home. WHISTLES GREET WI3T3TEB ; There were not so many excursion boats out to . see the finish Tuesday. Probably because everybody . was get ting tired of the . way the races had dragged out But when the Resolute crossed the line, there was real feeling in the way the crews end passengers cheered all along the line. And every steamer seemed to be turning loose her last pound of steam to greet her properly. ' It was a true greeting to the officers and the men who had worked so hard and cleverly on her. And naturally also tt was a purely American greeting for an American victory. There were any num ber .' "vd Americans In the fleet who at the Beginning of Tuesday's race did not seem to care if the cup did go across. But as they saw that striving white boat nearlng the finish line and the time growing short they were all pulling fervently for her to make it They wished the Shamrock no harm. In the showdown they simply wished their own to win. - CHEERS FOB LIPT03T : As the Resolute crossed, the. Victoria came steaming up under forced draft to greet our boat and as Sir Thomas Lip ton passed, the crews and passengers of all the navy boats which were near enough gave him real cneers. And he showed he liked it even though he showed also that he had regrets for his own boat's defeat The Shamrock was more than a mile down the wind when the white boat crossed, but the attending steamers and sailing yachts made no move for home. They stood by till she crossed and she crossed, by the way, as .the sun was go ing down behind the Jersey shore, and all hands gave her a proper greeting, too. LAWRENCE SEEKS TO . . GET HARDING'S VIEW f Contfnned Tram' Pise One) treaty or members of the present League of Nations. To . say now that he will stand on the Lodge reservations would be to commit himself to a program of restrictions upon the power of a presi dent to conduct feregolng policy , which might prove awkward for even a Re publican president SENATORS FORGOT The origmal set of Lodge reservations voted on in November, 1919, were much less difficult than those adopted in the following spring. In the effort to cir cumscribe the power of Wood row Wilson, some of the senators forgot for the moment that a Republican president might 'some day be charged with the responsibility of foreign policy and would find himself powerless especially if con gress were'not in session. - Now at heart Senator Harding would be subject demanding changes in the league convenant very similar to these which he voted for in the senate and he feels very strongly that Article X'ln it's present form can be eliminated with out breaking the heart of Europe. More over, he doesn't anticipate serious objec tion to equalization of voting power In the assembly of the league. COOLIDGE IS CITED However, details are not being preached at this time. The important thing is that ultimately the treaty of Versailles would be the basis for the negotiations for the understanding . and relationship to which Harding referred in his speech of acceptance. It will be noted also that Governor -Coolidge, this Republican candidate for vice president shows the way towards the ratification of the present treaty with proper reservations. This ; speech roust have been made with the knowledge and approval of the Republican candidate of the presidency. - Senator Johnson's destructive criticism, has been heeded, but Senator Harding plainly intends to offer a constructive substitute and fulfill the pledge to civil isation which America made during the war to participate in a serious effort to form a concert of nations to maintain the peace of the world.

How Japanese cling to their citi zenship . and preserve these rights for their American born children will be told this afternoon by J. Charles Pennis, Tacoma r city attor ney, who Is to testify before the congressional, committee here Invest tigating the Japanese problem. "Kvery Japanese child born in Ta coma holds both American and Japanese citizenship.' Dennis said today. "When a child is born the parents always get a certified copy of the birth certificate from the city health office and send it to the Japanese consul, who forwards it to Japan to establish citizenship there. "By thiB method the Jap children re tain their Japanese citizenship, although they are American citizens by birth and claim all the rights and advantages of American citizenship." Dennis declares he will show that 75 per cent of the produce stores here are Japanese owned and the percentage in the downtown business district is even higher. ii It was stated farmers will tell the committee of the Japanese ..conquest of the Fuyallup valley and their invasion of the berry growing industry. , Deputy cowity assessors are expected to testify as to Japanese ownership Of 85 per cent of Tacoma's hotels and 20 per cent of the richest farming land in the county.

CONSTANCE .TA1MADGE "THE "THE 2 Morn Days V4 DEMOCRATS PLAN E T Systematic - organization : of each precinct of Multnomah county was planned by the Democratic county central committee at its meeting held In the auditorium of The Jour nal building Tuesday evening. Each precinct, according to the plan approved, is to have a vice precinct com mitteeman appointed In addition to the regularly elected committeeman. If, as is the case in most instances, the elected committeeman is a man. the vice com mitteeman will be chosen from the rep resentative Democratic women of the' precinct. In those cases where a woman was elected to serve as the party's' rep resentative in any particular precinct then a mart will be chosen to serve as vice committee member. It was determined at the meeting also that each precinct should have a pre cinct organization, recruited from among the registered Democrats of -the precinct and having its chairman, secretary, ex ecutive committee and such other offi cers as it might desire. These precinct committees are to meet at least once a month, during the coming campaign pe riod. .. . . i... . ' Plans for financing the county cam paign were also discussed and it was decided that each precinct in the county should raise at least $10 for the county campaign fund, which plan, if carried out. would give a fund of a little over $4000 for county use.
