After, hav ing discussed measures for the relief of farmers for two weeks without accomplishing tangible results, members of the senate finance com mittee and house ways and means committee have agreed to push a kill n liyiitnrllllnfl if A OTI- cultural commodities. The legislation is ( be presented at once, either as an absolute embargofor a year, or A a tariff; bill Imposing pro hibitive' duties.. Tlie former measure Is favored by the senators, the latter by the representatives. In either case, it is held, the effect would be the same. . The senators would put the ban on these artilcea: Wool, cotton, sheep, livestock. meat, wheat, beans and potatoes, and , limit the bill specifically to tho'se things. TO IJOLSTEB MARKET, . The theory is that if foreign products were shut out a demoralized domestic market would be bolstered up, and higher prices obtained. It is argued that farmers In other countries can ship their goods to America, but that the Ameri can farmer nas lime rore en aemanci because of the demoralized rates of ex change. - . Jt is deemed certain that efforts to broaden the scope of' the bill will be made, and these may -cause its defeat, ' Members of congress from the Industrial areas will demand for their constituents the same benefits being asked by those from western " and southern states. 1 A similar situation existed when the war finance corporation was being discussed. TEXROSK A.MOSG OPFOXEJfTS Another thing which will diminish the chance of favorable action is the im pending revision of : the tariff. . Higher duties on virtually alj Imports are to be imposed, according to the plans of lead ers and the argument will be made that theje should be no "piecemeal Or emer- gem y larui laws. .

There have, been a score or more f ' various tariff measures introduced at this session, no one of which is likely to get much consideration. Representa tive Begg. of Ohio, for. lnstance, has just offered a resolution to replace the pres ent Underwood tariff with the Payne Aldrich tariff which. was enacted by the Republicans in 1909. His theory is that the present tariff is responsible for busi ness depression. ' ( Oregon Students Scatter for Two Weeks' Vacation , Unfverslty of Oregon, Eugene, Dec. 18. Examinations for the term at the Uni versity of Oregon ended Friday . after noon and bv 8 o'clock the campus was practically deserted. ' xsecause pi ne xiign nianuai ua ui vui required this term, instructors report a very high grade . of work being done. The examination papers show excellent grades.' ; - - ' The holidays extend over Christmas and New Years, ending January a. : A large per cent, of the students who have attended this term are registered for the winter term, which will allow new students - plenty . of time to get signed up on registration day. Karl Onthank, secretary to President P. L. Campbell, reports that very few new ' students are expected to' enroll at this time because the high school Semester does not end until, February.

'" " ... , TEST N AIR CA UNION PACIFIC TO PERSIST IN FIGHT That the Union Pacific railway system will persist in its opposition to allowing Great Northern and Spokane, Portland & Seattle to use the Portland union station war. in dicated late Friday in a telegram received by City Attorney LaRoche from Robert S. Lovett,. chairman of the U. P. board , of , directors. "Present facilities are no more than necessary , for use of lines that own the same," Lovett's telegram said. "Spo kane, Portland & Seattle and Great Nor thern were admitted by railroad admin istration and they should not be allowed to interfere with the use of property by the owners who need it." '.Lovett added that the entire union ter minal situation, so far as ' the U. P. in concerned, is in the hands of President Carl R.' Gray who would look after the dtalls. .

Heir to Fortune Was Nuisance in - His Old Job in Store (United News.) Maiden. Mass., Dec, 18. The price of fame has been paid in part by William It. Hanson,- the drugstore janitor here, heir to $250,000 which he expects to re ceive in the near future. . . Hanson has been fired. The owner of the drugstore in which Hanson -scrubbed and mopped and cleaned, decided that his wealthy em ploye, though probably much richer than himself, was a nuisance, The phone bell has been jangling all day long for Hanson ever since he told a reporter he was planning to annex a wife, the mail men have Wrought " in scores of letters two or three times each day and . hun dreds of callers have come to see and talk to the janitor. The boss at first welcomed the visitors but so small a per centage of them bought anything it wasn't a paying proposition; Hanson decided he could not afford to loaf around, got a job as a roofer, hop ing no one would pester him on the roofs. By Robert J. Bender (United New Staff Corowpondent. ) New York, Dec. 18. The founda tions of' American organized labor are being subjected today to the se verest strains they have undergone In many , years. Here, in ' a word, are. some ofr the developments of re cent weeks that are putting amal gamated workers to the supreme test:. One, curtailment of industry, with the laying off of thousands of employes and rehiring of men at reduced wages. Two, flat wage reduction orders in many industries. Three, nationwide propoganda designed to restore the open she p. Four, direct and effective efforts by big steel interests represented in the Na tional Erectors' association to force open shop policies in construction work involve ing fabricated steels This has remifica tions in many different trades that are strongly unionized. . 1ABOE LEADER PROFITEERS Five, sudden and unexpected passffge by the United States senate of the Poin dexter anti-strike bill. Six, the United States supreme court is preparing a decision on a Hartford Valley, Arkansas, miners' strike suit, in volving the question of whether labor organizations come under the jurisdiction of the Sherman anti-trust- law, as it provides for damages from action in re straint of trade. Seven, evidence revealed in state hous ing, probe here indicating that labor leaders were profiteering on organized labor at the expense of contractors and the public. The developments have thoroughly aroused labor. .Samuel Compers, presi dent of the American Federation, stated Friday that the workers "must accept the challenge." - . LOOK FOR TETO "They cannot drive back the American labor movement," said the old leader with characteristic vehemence. "Those fight ing us today represent a new awakening of the old idea of msater and servant, master and slave. In .reply, we challenge them on the principles of sovereignity. freedom and manhood. There is no great fear among labor leaders as a result of the senate's action on the Poindexter bill. They believe i it will be defeated upon promised recon sideration and that even if it went to the president, which they believe wholly unlikely, it would be vetoed. In the steel industry movement, and in the possibility of an adverse dicision of. the United States supreme court on the Arkansas case, they are distinctly concerned, however. FEAR COURT DECISION The steel interests not only directly af fects a huge bulk of warkers but in try ing to force open shop policies on con struction Work, they indirectly affect a great many trades. That such policies are now being pursed under 'blanket reso lutions adhered to by many steel manu facturers has been developed in testi mony before the New York housing probe committee. ; Next to the open shop movement per haps the most striking threat at the foundations of organized labor is 1nv voled in the suit of the A. F. of L.- vs. the Coronado Coal company et al, now awaiting decision from the United States supreme court. The case was argument October 15, last, former Justice Charles Evans Hughes making the argument for the labor organization. , - The case grew out of a miners' strike in the Hartford valley of Arkansas in the summer of 1914. Dynamiting, burning and killing featured the progress of the strike in and about the mines. Strike breakers were in frequent clashes with the union miners and scores of non-union workers were driven from the locality. SUE FOB DAMAGES A loss, estimated 'at many thousands of dollars by the Coronado Coal company and eight associate companies, was made the subject of a suit in the lower courts by the coal companies against the A. F. of L., on the grounds that, under the Sherman anti-trust law. . damages in curred from action in restraint of trade can be collected from the offenders, sev eral fold. The immediate question, therefore, is whether labor organizations, are amen able to section seven of that law which detifffes "persons" that may be guilty of violations. The law stipulates these amenable as persons or corporations or associations "existing under or autnor S LK PURCHASERS ARE FLEECED BY BOLD SHOPLIFTERS The mysterious whisper,' "It Is smuggled stuff, lust from, the Orient," adds lure to the charm of silk underwear., - And-that whisper caused many Portland housewives to part with ized by the.law of the United States or i heavy portions of the family trust any Btate," and' the court wut uecio-e whether organized labor a voluntary institution, comes under this reading. Labor, in its contention, held that the Clayton act specifically exempted it. The coal companies contended that th fact that labor was recognized as an institution in provision of the Clayton act proves that it is recognized as "exist ing under the laws of the United States" and therefore is covered in the Sherman act's definition of persons amenable to violations of that law. Tremendous damages, amounting to scores of thousands of dollars, were awarded the coal companies. by the lower courts, and the case is now before the supreme court on appeal of labor. If organised labor Is, held to be amenable to the Sherman act, it naturally would suffer not only a Btaggering financial blow but would lay itself open to scores of other suits that might be awaiting the court's decision. REAPPORTIONING OF RAID Governor Not Mad, But He Gives Editor Shotgun Warning Jacksonville Fla., Dec. 18. Governor S. C. Catts of Florida is not mad at Joseph L. Earman, publisher of the Post, West Palm Beach. He told him so in a' letter made public here today.

Republican members of the house in caucus Friday night decided to pass a bill reapportioning representation in the house because of the population in crease shown by the 1920 census, The reapportionment would affect the house that will take office in 1923. The vote was two to one favor of the change. While no attempt was made to fix the ratio the Republicans of the census com mittee which, will handle the bill, be lieved tht th" -hip will be in creased from 435 to 483. This wuuiu ijievci. reduction of the number of representatives frcm many states. Those states making conspicuous gains in population during the last de--j cade will have, the number of their representatives increased by from one to five members. Twenty-five states will have enlarged delegations if the plan of the census committee is passed. Under the present ratio there is one repre sentative for each 211.000 people. The bill for reapportionment contemplates raising the ratio to 219,000. The caucus defeated, 95 to 42, the proposal of Repre sentative Pinkham (Mass.) to decrease southern representation because of al leged disenfranchisement of negroes. Representative Mann, Illlnofs ; Kahn, California, and Slemp, Virginia, spoke against the plan. fund in order to wear a beautiful Oriental silk "neck-to-knee" or crepe de chine camisole. It was an old game played well, but the fascination of it carried it along its crooked way. , V SWEETtV PERFUMED Albert Salgado and Ernest Webber promoted it. A quantity of women's silk underwear. Oriental bathrobes and ki monos which held just a paint tang of rare perfume of far away countries, made wonderful bait. Albert abd- Ernest prospered as they sold their f, gossamer ware. And : the women were not loath to pay' them high prices for the wonderful Bilk which they had successfully smuggled by the; cus tom's officers. , : "Of course I wouldn't expose you for the world.) I couldn't realist But they are just simply wonderful. Mary will be crazy about this charming gown. How much did ou say? Nine-seventy! .All right. Ju6t a moment' till 1 get my purse." i ' . ; LAUGHED TJP TIIEIb) SLEEVES Albert and Ernest quoted their fasci nated customers . gleefully as they counted their money and recounted the day's adventure. , The smuggled 'part of the story Is true. But 1 the goods were smuggted from the women's ready to wear department of-a big! local department store, sur reptitiously shoved under vests and up sleeves when clerks were busy and house detectives snoozing. ' This thd slick boys told to Inspector Hyde of the police department when he arrested them at their room in a down town hotel Friday. . . CLERK If AS EAGLE EYE . , Silk garments valued at several hun dred dollars were in the possession of the two men when they were arrested. They told Detective Hyde that they had a ready market for the stuff at prices far in advancfc of the regular retail figures set by the store. Suspicion was first cast on the men last week! when -an alert woman clerk detected a tiny ribbon peeping from a pocket in the coat of one of the men. She later was convinced that she saw him slip a dainty silk chemise from the counter. The men were shadowed by a Burns' operative and Detective Hyde to their den of. "smuggled" goods in a hotel at Park and Alder streets. Ontario Man Ends . Life "With Bullet 1 E GOT MORE THAN THEIR SMI Ontario, Dec 18. H. M.
