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.

Full power was given the executive
committee to act on all matters. The

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.

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."

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." ;

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.

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.

AMERICAN-BORN
JAPANESE RETAIN
TWO CITIZENSHIPS
Tacoma, Wash., July 28. (U. P;.)
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.

Drug Habit Victim
Who Hurled Brick,
Put Under Arrest
Two shots fired at Ross Cummings,
said to be a pitiful victim of narcotic
drugs, failed to stop him Monday night
after an alleged attempt to rob the Roe
City rooming house. Sixth and Flanders
streets; and it remained for Patrolmen
Ferry and Abbott to arrest Cummings
Tuesday afternoon on a vagrancy
charge. -
Cummings inspired the shot from the
rooming house proprietor when, in an
swer to a challenge to halt he cast a
brick in the direction of the challenger
and fled.
"Cummings Is in a terrible condition
from the use of narcotics," Abbott de
clared. "He Is out on a five-year sen
tence parol from Salem and a year pa
role from the county jail and, although
I believe he has tried, he seems unable
to let narcotics alone. There is no part
of his arm not scarred by the 'needle.' "
, Four "hop outfits" and a set of burg
lar keys were found when Cummings
was searched. If he is charged with
larceny as a result of his arrest he will
have violated his parole, tt Is said, and
will -be required to resume service of his
sentences. -

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
