CUy Atorney : Grant presented th
draft of an ordinance covering . th
subject of exclusion of alien labor, but
in a report stated that there is a de

sions in such cases, and that in th
ordinance draft presented h had mad
th violation of tlie prohibition a mat
ter for which the contract could be
held "voidable," instead of "void," and
thus he believed the ordinance might
stand test in court. He advised, how
ever, that as this is really a part of
the public improvement code, it would
have 'to bo incorporated therein and
the entire code then republished, at a
considerably expense ; - while it really

HARDENG GLIMPSES
FOREIGN ENEMIES
ON
By David Lawrence
tCopyrisht. 122, by The Joaroal) '
' Washington, June St. - President
Harding's letter to Republican Leader
Mendetl was intended in- part at least
as a warning to foreign countries that
a lobby against an American merchant
marine bill would not b tolerated.
The president's outspoken charge that
foreign interest would like to see Amerr
tea thwarted in her efforts to establish
a merchant marine is the first public
reference to a propaganda which has
been constantly observed on the quiet
by officials her and which In pre-war
day was no small factor in squelching-
governmental activity oa th shipping
question.
HABDLVO ISSUES WABSIBTG
Mr. Harding speaks of a "well
screened sourca of opposition, to an out
standing and confident American
course in the matter, and boldly
charges that "no well developed
maritime power of the old world is
craving the development of our ship
ping." While the president admires the
"national spirit which always thinks
of the Interests of the homeland first,"
he adds a warning that it goes too far,
for he says :
"Other nations Vnow th value of
sea carrying' as an adjunct of trade
and the individual discouragement
abroad to our worthy alms a dis
couragement often insidiously dis
seminated here ought to argue an
American interest no longer to be
ignored."
The president did";" not mention the
names of - any foreign countries nor
diaclosa th nature of foreign oppo
sition to the subsidy bill, but his use
of the words "insiduously disseminated
here" are taken to refer to some of
those shipping companies, mostly of
foreign ownership, which have in their
employ Americans who know how to
marshal political Influence.
This isn't the first time that foreign
opposition to - an American merchant
marine has been publicly referred to as
"insidious." . About 12 years ago con
gress discovered shipping companies
maintained a lobby in Washington for
the express purpose of preventing the
passage of ship aid legtslaton.
Hr, Harding's pronouncement to
Leader Mondell Is coincident also with
the speech made in London within the
last 24 hours by William J. Love, vice
president of the- Emergency Fleet cor
poration, in which he issued a plain
warning that America was going ahead
with her plans for an American mer
chant marine by subsidy and would not
b swerved from her course.
BRITISH MOST ACTIYE
The British, as th largest maritime
power and the people who have been
most successful in sea carrying trade
in th past, ar much mor.e apprehen
sive about the passage of the ship sub
sidy bill than any other nation. Be
fore th war ships of Great Britain
ruled the seas, but divided the carry
ing trad in large part with Germany.
American shipping- officials believe the
United State should not allow Great
Britain to monopolise th sea trade.
especially since Germany is without
ships to carry the trad she had before
th war even if she could restore it to
them.
The opinion held in American quar
ters 1 that there; is plenty of room in
the world forltwo maritime powers of
major sis and that America, which
sought no . territory or indemnity in
the war and gave freely of her blood
and treasure, should not be begrudged
the use of her immense war fleet for
peace-time purposes. The British have
taken most of the German ship in
payment, for war damages and would
like th United States to Seeomo dis
couraged on the merchant marine ques
tion and sell the ships at auction. -
BBITAIK MOST ABLB
Inasmuch as American private op-
erator8 lnsi8t they cannot compete with
foreign ships without a subsidy the
sale of America's merchant fleet would
mean the increase in tonnage and aea
trade to foreign countries and since
Great Britain is financially able to
buy more ships the chances are a sale
of American vessels would mean the
ultimate passage of the American war
fleet Into British hands.
This, more than anything else, is
responsible for the earnestness and
determination of President Harding to
get a ship subsidy bill throusrh con
gress. There is also the secondary
though by no means unimportant ques
tion of having a merchant fleet that
could be used as an auxiliary in case
of naval war. Although America has
cut her navy down and agrees to do no
more building of war vessels for the
next 10 years, she would be at a seri
ous disadvantage if a maritime war
did break out, for the other nations
could convert their merchant marine
into commerce raiders and troop trans
ports almost immediately.
The United States had to depend On
British tonnln fnr nsnv mnnllia in
carrying troops to France and that
memory of dependence on a foreiam
power In a great emergency is tending
to align the influence of the navy
department behind the ship subsidy
mil as a measure or naval prepared
ness. On thing is certain foreign
discouragement, however it may mani
fest itself, will not go along unnoticed
as in the past, but will b xposd by
th administration every time it shows
itself. Mr. Harding's reference to it
in hi letter to Representative Mondell
goes further than it was believed the
president would go and this la consid
ered BigTiincani or his determination
to fight foreign influence in American
legislative matters.

Switching Costs
Will Be Reduced
By New Schedule
An important step toward the or
ganization of a common rail terminal
embracing shipping' district on the

parity with concerns located in other
sections of the district. -
Th new switching schedule pro
vides for a maximum charge of 18.50

and th. absorption . of switching
charges on incoming transcontinental
shipment by th three rail line in

on a rata of t.66 per car with dif
ferentials for various commodities.
These differentials are eliminated in
th new agreement. Th bulkoof th
business affected by th reduced
schedule consists 'of outgoing: ship
ments of sand, . gravel, cement and
other similar commodities and the
saving would amount to thousand of

Circus Man Fined
For Feeding Babbit
To Boa Constrictor
Feeding live rabbits to a huge boa
constrictor just to show a crowd the
horrible methods the great serpents
use in mangling and killing their vic
tims proved a poor kind of amusement
for spectators at the Foley Burke
shows at East Second and Oregon
streets Tuesday night.
Ross Churchill of the Oregon Hu
man societay heard that the snakes
were being fed live food before the
crowds and he went to investigate.
When he arrived a boa was about to
start a meal on a Belgian hare.
When the timid creature was turned
into the eage it shrank into on corner.
The boa slid over to the corner,
wrapped itself around th victim and
slowly crushed it. Then it swallowed
the rabbit in one gulp.
Th sight provd too much for the
crowd. Women and men turned away,
sickened by the sight. Churehill then
stepped up and arresteS W. H. West
lake, who had charge of the serpents.
He was fined $10 by Judge Ekwall
today.

Pacific Coast Due
For Building Boom,
Says H. A. Whitney
Pacific coast cities, fncluding Port
land, are due for a record breaking
buildina- construction campaign ex
tending over the .next five years, ac
cording to Harrison A. Whitney who
returned Tuesday night from Los An
geles and other California towns.
Building permits Issued at Los An
geles during 122 would, exceed $100,
000,000 in vtlue at the present rate of
construction, . Whitney stated, and
rapid strides also are being made at
San Francisco, Oakland and other
southern cities. -Rapid movement of
population to the. three Pacific coast
states and the increasing Importance
of industrial development in this terri
tory would necessitate the expenditure
of enormous sums in new construction
according to Whitney. He was accom
panied on the California trip by Mrs.
Whitney.

erly man was found floating In th

Pedestrians on the Burnside bridge

The body was clothed in a black suit,
ibv aiivca, wane smn ana w mi col
lar, and a gaberdine coat, which was
buttoned tightly over, a black Stet
son hat.
At first the coroner was inclined to
believe that the man might hav met
with foul play but upon closer investi
gation found that th iron weights
were tied about the body in such a
manner as the man, himself, might
have placed them. Th arms and legs
were free. The coroner expressed t
lief that the case was suicide.
Investigation showed that th body
had been in the river about three
months, the weights having held it to
th bottom during that time. i
Chinamen Tell on
Countryman Who ;
Was Smuggled In
Lai Gwong, Chinaman, got into trou
ble with his own race in Salem, which
was a bad thing for him. For his fel
low countrymen turned him over to the
immigration service, which discovered
that he had been deported once and
had smuggled back. Now ha will be
deported again.
It was IS years ago. said R. P. Bon
ham, who. arrested Lai, that he was de
ported to China from San Francisco.
He later paid $500 head tax to get back
to Canada and $200 more to smugglers
to get him over the border. Bonham
has the photograph as well as the
Chinaman, so there is no question of
deportation.
Criminal prosecution against Lai for
attacking the wife of a fellow country
man will be held in abeyance until
final action is taken by Washington
on Bonham's deportation recommenda
