SAWMILL FIRES
ARE CHECKED BY
E
This city of Portland would have
been at leut $1,000,000 poorer and
hundreds of men would have been
'thrown out of employment f the au
tomatic sprinkler system had not
been tn ,us in two -large lumber
plants, thus stopping fires during the
last two days, says Fire Marshal
tirenfell. ..
'These fires were at the Eastern
Western "Lumber" company's plant "on
Front street at the foot of Seventeenth
street,, this forenoon, and at 'the plant
of the Multnomah Box and Lumber com
pany Friday.. In each Instance the auto
matic sprinkler got in iM work before
the fire department arrived and the loss
was nominal, but Grenfell says it would
have been practically impossible to have
saved the plants by the Ufe of the fire
department alone.
At the box concern's plant 30 heads
of water were discharged, promptly con
trolling the blase. This was the third
fire at the Eastern-Western plant within
a year and a half that has been promptly
stopped: .
tirenfell says the automatic sprinkler
system provide for a head of water at
every 10 square feet, so that when the
sprays operate they cover every square
foot of area. He states that the. average
insurance rate on lumber concerns is 3
tier cent, but that the installation-of
sprinkler systems cuts this rate from
ti to 75 per cent. -.

DISCOUNTS COMMUNIST PLOTS
"There is no reason to fear a delib
erate Communist uprising. The com
mittees formed to handle the strike are
keeping the men under discipline. I re
turned yesterday from Scotland, where
the miners are the 'reddest in Britain.
Any talk, that they are planning to
form Soviets is nonsense. They are
young, intelligent and studious. They
do detest the present system and are
determined to change it.
"If trouble comes. It will be through
some Impulsive, fiery youngsters, not
caring for Communism, but rising
against the capitalist system and stir
ring up the othera by oratory until they
also become impulsive.
' "The miners hate capital now as never
before. They distrust the government,
believing it Is incapable of being Im
partial. They are determined that if
they fight at all they will fight hard.
"There may be some head breaking,
but It won't be the result of planned,
deliberate Bolshevism, only the blind
impulsive fight for life." .

DANGER IN DYE
TRUST IS SEEN BY
NORMAN HAPGODD
By Norman Ilapgood
tTniTensl Srrrio Editorial Correspondent -Washington,
April 9. I told one
day this week the story of the at
tempted monopoly in dyes and the
extremely severe criticism passed on
the. methods of the trust, by a dis
tinguished Harvard scientist. Today
I want to point out the Importance
of this attempted, monopoly to the
ordinary business man and the or
dinary consumer.
The serious condemnation of the trust
that I quoted from the Harvard "pro
fessor was based , on ethical grounds.
Dr.. Hamilton was strongly inclined to
think that it was no proper business of
Mr, Gar van, acting as alien property
custodian, to constitute himself the head
of ah organization to confiscate patents,
allow those whom he and his assocites
chose to sell goods, under the trade
marks of people whose ' business had
been taken from them, and take away
the copyright of foreign scholars for
their own' benefit.
QUESTIONS CONTBOL
Dr. Hamilton did not eo into another
aspect of it, and it Is that aspect that I
touch today. Ethics entirely apart, is it
a good thing for American business and
the American consumer that processes
that enter Into such a wide variety of
business activities today should be put
into the control of a few men t
. i Against .the character of those men
nothing, need be said, and some of them
stand at the very top of the business
World. . .1
i Cleveland II. Dodge is one of the
trustees, and there is no more conscien
tious capitalist in the United States.
Otto. Bannard enjoys a high confidence
in business circles. The other trustees
are ex-Judge -George L. lngraham of
New York; Ralph Stone, president of
the Detroit Trust company, and Benja
min Griswold of Brown St. Son, Balti
more. . All of these gentlemen have
served on the advisory sales committee
of the alien property custodian.
The president is Francis P. Garvan.
who was alien pro per y custodian at the
time' the trust was formed and up to
the early days of the Harding adminis
tration. The vice president is Colonel
Douglas . I. McKay, vice president of J
D. White & 1 Co. The -secretary and
treasurer Js George J. Corbett, assistant
secretary of the Union Trust company.
The counsel is Joseph IL Choate, and the
patent, counsel is -Ramsay Hoguet.
TEXTILES IKYOLVED
The excellent gentlemen ask congress
to adopt a license system by which the
men in question shall decide who is
patriotic eough to go into the dye bust
ness in the United States, with the ad
vantage of the best known processes.
There is not only, the dye business itself
to consider. It has become almost
matter of school boy knowledge nowa
days that the dye business is inseparably
interwoven with many of the most im
portant industries. .
Dyes have 'a direct and important bear
ing on the textile. Industries, which are
so large a .part' of .American business.
They hava a direct and important bear
ing on the leather industries, on the
paper industries, the paint and varnish
industries,, the making of many of the
most important medicines.
The last war taught us all to under
stand the . intimate connection of dye
processes .with-the manufacture of most
important modern explosives. Thrilling
books, could - be written and have been
written on .the subject of how closely
related are all these Industries that have
chemistry for their foundation. And
they are not at the end of their develop
ment. They may be only at the be
ginning of it . -.
EFFECTS FAB BEACHIXG
' Congress, therefore, ought to be atten
tive . to all the immediate and remote
consequences before it turns over, in a
free country like ours, a despotic power
over such an enormous complex of in
dustries to a small group of men, how
ever respectable, and the more so. if
their-plan rests on a basis that is open
to doubt both in its ethic, in its possible
effects on . American inventiveness, and
its relation to the peace of the world.
Of its' ethics I have said enough at
least to set people thinking. Of its prob
able effect on American inventiveness I
quote from the pamphlet, describing- a
chemical exhibit now going on in the
city of Washington under the auspices
of the national research council. Dr.
Slosson m this pamphlet says:
"Science does not stand still. The
only, way to keep it Is to keen ahead
of it. The American dye maker now
has at his disposal all the German
patents, but the' German chemists have
hot stopped using their brains and un
less we use ours we shall soon be left
behind. Of what use was the best patent
on a flintlock the day after- the per
cussion Cap . was invented? As soon as
the Germans found out how . to. make
artificial: indigo the indigo crop of India
lost its value.'"
What We need is American mental
activity in this field, not monopoly and
secret service work. . I do not believe
the road to that activity or to - sane
science the .world-over lies in attempts
by Mr. Garvan to revive anti-German
hatred In its most hysterical form and
use it As an excuse for monopoly in a
complicated, inter-related series of mod
ern industries. .
