IE UNIONS.
SAYS JUDGE GARY
New York. April XI. (U. P.)
Iabor : unions should be regulated
and controlled by the government
to prevenf'dlsaster and destruction,"
Judge Elbert H. Gary, chairman of
the United states Steel corporation,
declared in a statement to the stock
holders, made public here today.
"It seems to me that the natural if
not 'the necessary result of the con
templated program of labor unions. If
successful, would be to secure control
of the fthops, then of the genenral man
ngrraent of business, then of capital,
ami finally of" covernment," he said.
Me unsed the passage of laws to
"apply to all economic eraaniaatlons,
pioups or bodies exceeding "certain
nclflcd numbers or amounts, and
sdded that "both organized capital and
lutor should be placed under these
laws."
JW. LEGES I3EFFICIEXCY
t;ary declared -that "the natural and
ciTlaln effects of labor unionism are
Mreaed in these words inefficiency,
hi(th costs."
"And be it remembered," he said,
"that in the end the eeneral public
mutft pay for extortionate,- unnecessary
and unreasonable costs of production.
It is primarily and fundamentally In
terested in the existence an conduct
of labor unions. i -
'The end nought by i labor unions
that, at least, to which, their efforts
t,nd mean, disaster and destruction. It
in noticeable that oftentimes they seek
to 'control politic, and openly, as a
body, advocate the election, or defeat
or even the president I of the United
States. They oppose or favor legisla
tion of divers kinds. They would reru
lat police departments. Worse than
everything else, they would dominate
the supreme court of the United States,
our citadel of defense to person and
property to clvlliiatlon itself.
M (JGE8TS AX AHTIDOTE
"Possibly there is a solution of or an
antidote to the labor union problem. I
do not believe In Socialism : in govern
ment management or operation, but I do
advocate publicity, regulation and rea
sonable control through government
agencies. Members of commissions or
departments should be non-partisan, non
sectarian, based on qualifications and
moral character. Their decisions should
bo HUbJect to review by .the highest
courts.
"Laws clear, well defined, practi
cablecovering these matters might be
paused, and if so, they should apply, to
all economic organisations, . groups or
bodies exceeding certain specified num
bers or amounts. Both organised capi
tal and labor should be placed under
these laws. Kach should he entitled to
the same protection and be subject to
the" turns restrictions and provisions.
Will labor unions consent to this? They
have heretofore objected. Here would
be a test."
GILL NETTERS AND
GIGGERS VIOLATE LAV

above the 'dead line' and right up to
the fish ladder and snag the fish with
their big hooks. One of therpoachers
boasted to me that he had "gigged"
enough fish to buy a trolling outfit and
a- boat before he ever ; took out a li
cence, ' !
"It is notorious that the warden
service on the Clackamas river has
broken; down. Poachers run nets there
at night during the salmon run without
Interference.
"And all this Is going on, not because
the 'pirates' care so much about get
ting , the salmon under present condi
tions of the salmon market, but because
they find satisfaction in showing that
they are above the law and that they
are either smarter or braver than the
wardens. They do it, too, as retaliation
init the activities of the anglers and
the Anglers club. Many of them have
told me so.
"Last Wednesday and Thursday there
were plenty of salmon in the waters be
low the falls. Since the I1I netting,
almost no fish have been caught by
trolling and these have all been small
enough to get through the meshes of a
gill net."
rOACHEHS FLOUT LAW
i w.it l,,,wn Tr,-1 and TntmineJM man
who was among the anglers at Oregon
City. Sunday, said: f'lt Is perfectly
plain.. to me tha,t the poachers are
flouting the law and the wardena are
thnwin? the anglers 'where to head in.
"There are said to be nine men from
the fish and game commissions watching
these waters. Give me three men and I
will put'them on patrol duty that will
prevent this outrageous violation of the
law. r don't say the wardens are play
ing in with the poachers, but I do say
they are not delivering the goods. What
is needed is a patrol stationed every few
hundred feet ready to sound the alarm at
any attempt to poach. The game warden
ought to station men at too xaua to in
tercept the gtggers."
LAW QUIETLY ALTERED
Most of the anglers are learning for
the first time that the law which the
people -voted two years ago,. closing tne
Willamette to all commercial fishing
souti of Oswego, was quietly altered by
tho last legislature and that the waters
were opened to the commercial flsher
mento the Oregon City bridge, the sea
son to begin May 40. That this repeal
occurred as the result of a "trade." and
that the poachers are further demon
strating their profound contempt of the

MOON ECLIPSE NEXT
THURSDAY AT 10:03
(Coatiaeed from Faga Oa
to the same cause that makes the sun
appear red at sunset the absorption of
the green and blue fays by the atmos
phere, which lets the red. rays pass.
The diameter of the earth's shadow at
the point where it envelops the moon is
5700 miles : the moon's diameter is 2163
miles and its rate of speed eastward is
3100 miles an hour; the earth's surface
turns at the rate of 1000 miles an hour
at the equator. ; From these figures as
tronomers compute the phases of a lunar
eclipse. , . -,-
' Strangely enough. If an earth-dweller
could be transported .to the moon Thurs
day night, he would see tha sun eclipsed
by the earth, i since the -three bodies
must be In line to produce an eclipse,
whether it be solar or lunar. But in
this Instance, instead of the sun being
eclipsed by the earth's shadow, as will
be the case wlt the moon, the sun will
be chidden by the body . of the earth
proper, since there can be no shadow
thrown toward the sun. From the moon
the earth wold be absolutely- invisible
as it approached the sun. The observer
would see the radiance of the sun sud
denly sliced off by the opaque and in
visible earth.. Gradually the outline of
the earth would be silhoouetted by a red
rim all around it, as a result of re
fraction. And when the last gleam of
real sunlight had gone, nothing would
be left of the god of day but a ring of
brilliant red. ' Inside this ring would be
the black, sunless side of the earth -on
which the man in the moon would be
gaxlng. j
Astronomers attach little importance
to lunar eclipses. The main use made
of this phenomenon is to point to It as
one of the many facts which indicate the
rotundity of the earth.

company in. its present litigation, Sun
clay night. j
"Some months ago a bitter enemy of
the company reported that the company
had violated the law by gaining control,
for the purpose of strangling .competi
tion, of the Jdt. Hood Ice Cream company
of Portland, the Hazel wood Ice Cream
company of Portland and the Norman
Ice Cream company of The Dalles.
"The Crystal Ice and Storage company
did gain control of the ML Hood Ice
Cream company, but the transaction oc
curred before the passage of the Clayton
law, under which the complaint is filed.
The company acted wholly within its
rights., jr .... i ;
"Early In 1920, when the Hazelwood
Ice Cream company organized, with Joe
Dunne at its head, the Crystal company
put money Into the new concern for in
vestment purposes only. ; Instead of at
tempting to break competition, it
strengthened a competitor. There is no
policy connection between these two
companies and no officer of either com
pany has any connection with the other.
"As to the Norman Ice Cream com
pany of The Dalles, it was sold some
time ago to, a purchaser whose name I
cannot recall, t This purchaser asked
George Weatherly, president of the
Crystal company, to appraise the prop
erty of the upriver outfit, and he did so,
merely acting as agent for the pur
chaser. The Crystal company has no in
terest in that -company whatever.
"We shall probably mall an answer to
the complaint this week." "-

BUSINESS MEN URGE
OF 2 L
X Con tin taM From Pate On)
upon the possibility of the S. P. & S.
regaining control of the .two steamers,
saying the question was one which must
first be passed upon by 'the 'officials of
the Great Northern and Northern Pa
cific railways, parent roads of the North
Bank line. : ; .;-
' However, railroad men. who were
familiar with the operation of the steam
ers out of the Columbia river from
March, 1915, to September, 1917, made
statements which probably outline the
position chief executives of the G. N.
and N. P. will take upon replacement
of the vessels. . r " ;
TOO EXPENSIVE
One of the most prominent of these
rail officials said : ' :
"The two ships were always an unsuc
cessful .investment because they were
not sufficiently patronized to make their
operation profitable. In view of the in
creased costs of foodstuffs labor : and
fuel oil, it would seem that resumption
of operation at this time would only re
sult in larger deficits than before. N
Turner's only comment upon this angle
f the question was that it would be an
expensive undertaking to place the sis
ter ships In passenger service condition.
The Great Northern is now operating
from San Francisco to Siberia in gov
ernment transport service and the North
ern Pacific is lying in Philadelphia
harbor. .
The business men are so anxious to
have Portland enjoy first class steamer
service from California ports that they
will 'possibly make some proffer of aid
to the 8. P. & S. in taking over and
operating the vessel. .
In the opinion of those backing the
proposal to return -the vessels Portland
would obtain much more of the. north
bound tourist trade from California if
high class vessels were operated to and
from this port. "
WOULD StPPOBT BOATS
John E. Gratke of the 1925 fair board
read the petition before the forum meet
ing supporting the plan to return the
giant steamers to the Columbia river
run, placing emphasis upon the need of
such a service before and during the 1925
fair. He said that President Turner was
already carrying on negotiations for the
purchase of the steamers. ?
Gratke asked business men and ship
pers to write personal letters to the S.
P. & S. head urging the importance of
returning the vessels and pledging their
support to the company in case they . are
returned. Petitions circulated at i the
forum meeting were signed by almost 200
business men. ; -

John Daniel, Most
Famous of Gorillas,
Dies of Pneumonia
tBj Unirenal Service)
New York, April 18. John Daniel Is
dead. J He has gone the way of all of
his kind, snuffed out by pneumonia.
John was a 4-year-old gorilla, the
only one of his species In captivity. He
was being shown by the Kingling circus
here when he developed a cold in the
head which quickly spread to his bron
chial tubes and then to his lungs, re
sulting in pneumonia.
The gorilla was 4 feet 4 Inches high
and weighed 183 pounds and was still
growing. His value was 120,000 and he
knew many tricks.
Every gorilla ever In captivity, cir
cus men say, has died of pneumonia.
John Daniel, "the gentleman gorilla.
was the subject of a full illustrated
page In the magazine section of The
Sunday Journal. The killing of his
father: and his capture in the African
jungle, his sale to an English society
matron, who pampered him and dined
and feted him at the best London
hotels, and his subsequent transfer .to
the circus because he was becoming un
manageable, were graphically related.
How he became the most adored object
of the entire circus -and how the best
of care and attention were lavished on
him to give him long life and happi
nee, made the narrative' no less thrill
Ing than a detective story. Strangely
enough, in that article John Daniel's
death was predicted, just as it took
place.

R. Xk. Bolin, an apprentice tool dresser,
who served with the A. E. , F. in the

valuable canvass In the world, in a small
shop. He bought it at "Baure. Germany,
with two others, he said, and carried It
with him, rolled up, until he was mus
tered out of the army. '
, The picture was stained and travel
soiled and when 'Bolin tried to sell it
here, it waa passed by unheeded for
many months. .--.
