The reasons why in his opinion organized labor should support the League of Na tions are set forth by San.uel Oom pers. president of the American Fed eration of Labor, in a teiegram he has Just dispatched to William Michaels of Tulsa, Okla. Gompers lays particular stress upon the provisions of the labor section of the league covenant, declaring; "It is a document for humanity. The nine points are well fitted to guide the policy of the League of Nations, and if adopted will confer lasting benefit on the wage earners of the world. Stan dards of advanced countries are given this absolute protection against any possible concerted action to lower them on the part of less advanced nations." An official statement Just issued by the national Non-partisan political cam palgn committee of the A. F. of L. also indorses the league, saying that it of fers the best hope for the expression and fulfillment of liberal Ideals through out the world. Anchored Ducks Trap Hunters in Reserve Sector Attracted by the quacking of ducks on an inland pond near the Columbia slough Sunday, two youthful Portland hunters, Joe Mgonoe and Walter Fret, crept stealthily from their boat to the edge of the pond and shot. It is said the first shot went wide of three choice ducks which were settled upon the unruffled waters. The ducks did not move. But the second aim was steadier and all three were killed. The youths might have proudly borne their trophies home but it so happened that S. J. Mettarch had anchored these ducks in his reserve pond as decoys. Mettarch took the boys' guns and licenses to headquarters of the state game commission and entered a suit of trespass against the two in the district court ! Women Are Alive to Menace to League, Says Mrs. Donohue San Francisco, Oct. 25. "The women of the West are alive to the danger that threatens the League of Na tions," said Mrs. Charles L. Donohue, Democratic national commltteewoman for the West. "They are organising to urge the election of Cox, knowing he sffends for the league. "Harding's assertion that he is unal terably opposed to Article X. his an nouncement that he stands with Sen ators Borah and Johnson to scrap the league, and his definite statement made in Des Moines that he seeks rejection and not Interprtatlon. have caused the women to take this firm stand." f9 GOMPERS INVITES A pinchof Purola 6o ticks of -the clock , 'for a hotter, hicrcreri Purola Shaving Cream works up into a fine, creamy lather that stays put.

V. :':V Kils"'-;issl Was 1" i r i In ii 3!: Iff I7JI f m i m I Fireman Ainbnle -fis Badly Shocked-by 500 Volts of Trolley Frank Ambrose, fire department line man, was shocked into unconsciousness about 2 o'clock this afternoon at Broad way and Taylor street by 500 volts from the streetcar trolley. The blow knocked him unconscious but within a few min utes fellow employes brought him to by first aid methods. Chief Lineman Sere vian later took him to the emergency hospital. ' Ambrose was on top of a repair truck taking down old wires used to hang up Rose Festival decorations when the ac cident happened. A small wire he had hold of became entangled with the trolley wire. A small flash and loud report followed as the electricity grounded through Ambrose's body. The fire department is removing all old wires from the street in an effort to lessen the fire hazard.- BY EVICTION; IS Tenants of the Columbia apart ments, owned by the Lawyers Title & Trust company, of which Herbert Gordon is president, protested today to the office of the city attorney against what they term "highway robbery with the cudgel of eviction." The apartments at Eleventh and Co lumbia streets, were recently ieased by Mr. and Mrs. Arthur S'orman. The complaining tenants, who today called upon Assistant City Attorney Mackey, declared the building- was un sanitary, that toilets were broken and repeated efforts to get them fixed had failed and that the rental increases, in some instances, were more than 100 per cent. Those who called were told that the city was powerless to aid them insofar as rental increases were concerned, but that if actual violations of health ordi nances had occurred, prosecution would follow. CEILING REPORTED DRIPPING Mrs. C. O. Harris, "who has three rooms and a kitchenette on the second floor, told reporters today that the toilet in the apartment above her was broken and that water from its pipes continually dripped through an open place in the ceiling. "After nine years here, at $40 per month, I am forced out so they can get $75 for the apartment," she said. She declared she is compelled to move, with an invalid husband, because the new plan of the apartment is to furnish all rooms "and re-sell the lease at a good profit." She declared also that sani tary violations in the building were common. An apartment occupied by Mrs. L. Robinson, renting at $40 unfurnished, is to bring $70, declared the tenanta Mrs. Robinson moved when notice was given last week. . BENT ALMOST TRIPLED Mrs. M. E. Cammelle, in a two-room apartment on the first floor, has been in the building eight years, she said. She had been paying $22.60 per month, "which Included . telephone, and now they want $60." "I offered them $40 for the place, be cause I have no place to go," she de clared. "They replied the minimum rent would be $60." Mrs. E. E. Gates, who was paying $45 In February last year, found the rent increased to $50 "by Herbert Gordon personally," she said, "and the new rental Is to be $60 or $65." "They came in last Friday night," she declared, "and told my son and myself tha! they wanted the apartment because they were going to furnish it. We told them we wanted to stay, not because we like the place, but because there is no other place to go. They said we mlgrht stay if you think you can pay the rent'." The Gates apartment is three rooms and kitchenette. Apartment 31, occupied by Mr. and Mrs. A. Renfro, was said to have been increased from $37.50 to $65. RESELLING IS FORESEEN AH tenants who were ordered to move so their apartments might be furnished were unanimous in the contention that the plan was to furnish the place and "resell It at a handsome profit." "Those are the very words Mr. God- dard, who acts for the Normans, used to me," declared Mrs. Harris, "He told how he had taken about $4000 and fixed up one place and sold it for $10, 500. That is the way to make money." he told me. He declared he would have 98 rooms fixed out of this building and would dispose of it in 60 or 90 days at a handsome profit." Gordon said today the Lawyers" com pany has no voice in managing the property under the lease to the Nor mans. William Moore Is Killed by Brother In Gun Accident Accidental discharge of a shotgun in the hands of 12-year-old Henry Moore caused the instant death of his 14-year-old brother, William Moore, while the two boys were On a hunting trip on the highway a short distance from Damascus. They are sons of John Moore of Damascus. The only explanation offered for the fatal accident was that the younger boy must have been fingering the gun as the party walked down the highway. They were accompanied by two older boys, Edward Moore, 16, and Clayton Hall. 15. Two guns were carried by the boys, a 12-gauge single-barrel shot gun and a .22-caliber rifle.

Legislative Issues Argued at Meeting Of C. of C. Members The question of whether a 60-day pe riod between a first and second session of legislature would be utilised properly in discussing pending legislation was left for members of the Chamber of Commerce to decide following a debate at a members' forum luncheon at noon todav unon the proposed constitutional amendment providing for a divided ses sion which will be voted upon November 2. W. S. U'Ren argued affirmatively and Robert E. Smith negatively. "The present system necessitates too much hurry for intelligent passage of legislation and the divided session per mits 60 days deliberation before final decision during which time the lawmakers may discuss measures with their constit uents," said Smith. "This measure is fundamentally wrong because it is based upon the assump tion that legislators are not to be trusted. The 60-day period will permit further secret lobbying, which must now be carried on to- a major degree in the open," said U'Ren. Jay Stevens warnec the members tnat unless the three-mill ' tax levy is reau thorized that a great conflagration haz ard will be incurred.
