Mayor Baker declares that ' descent of radicals, has been ordered on the city, having: as Its ultimate goal not only the creation of disorder in Port landjbut the promotion of a country- ? wflde revolution. The mayor further declares that the issues in the present situation do not involve, organized t labor,- but merely the preservation of V law' and order. The statement follows: To the Public In order that the pub r - lie jof Portland may have a full realiza- lion of the Duroose of the Dresent move aeatnst the I. W. W.

This information has been authenti cated and the obedience to these orders has been seen in, the influx, for a week or more, of the box car type of tramps and hoboes in hundreds. In view of - this Information and the fact that there .. has been a definitely established and inaugurated plan 10 flood Portland -: witn tnts type oi undestraDge citizens. with ai consequent, reign of terror and , crime, this office has moved in and ' intends to resort to any means and - tactics that may be necessary to pre- vent the disruption of this Community We have the full cooperation; of all law enforcing agencies and the community is determined on the subject. SITUATION EXPLAINED In order that the Dublic mav be fiillv advised as to the part organized: labor . Is playing in the situation. I wall ex , plain what, has happened in this con nection, in opening the campaign against the I. W. W. it 'as not with (he idea of interfering or taking sides in any legitimate striae ror the purpose of bettering working conditions or , wages. This is a question in -which the city is neutral further than to maintain law and'erder regardless of "which side may start anv unlawful , action. Bxif. when the industrial pros-. periiy or me saiety or tne community becomes,a factor it becomes the pub lic's business to interfere. In launching this I. W. W. drive I first called uoon the heads of organ ized labor1, in Portland and they verified my information that the 1. W. W. is . not sponsored by or tolerated by or-. ganisea laoor or the American eaera tion of Labor. Therefore I: took for granted that the American Federation of Labor is not behind tlie -present waterfront strike, and I still believe this is a fact with the majority of members if not with the .officers. In a public statement issued by these of ficials since that interview and since the beginning of the fight on the I. -V. W. they repudiate these claims and say that the International Longshore men's association, which is affiliated with the American. Federation of La bor, is in favor of the strike and that organized labor of Portland therefore is behind the strike. STRIKE MEBE WOBBLY MOTE . A a matter: bf fact, every banner' on the picket-lino,: every handbill that has been, in the open during this strike has been signed plainly and fearlessly by the" Marine Transport Workers of the I. W. W. The Longshoremen's union :;.. has become involved in this strike jj,V purely because the I. W. W. has gained a membership in this organization and v because these I. W. W. members called . ," a meeting. and-voted for a strike while a majority of the non-radical members -. - were at work. This was-one of the " 'I I.i W. W. tricks referred to in a pre " vious statement from this office,, and - --he authenticity of this statement was -f 'concurred in by the labor leaders with '- whom I talked. . This strike was called - - as a part of the I. W. W. program and .V not primarily -in the Interest of better ""wages or working conditions. ... I can only say that if the American Federation of Labor has joined with the L W. W. and intends to tolerate ' and encourage the methods this or- ganisation plans for Portland, it is the f vI beginning of the end for the American Federation of Labor and the beginnig V ot the, end for a lot of things, because i-.v In the American Federation of Labor I - believe this country has its only i hope for industrial peace and prosper - If organized labor has joined with . the I.

Speaking as mayor of the city of Portland, I am determined that as long am- x mm mayor I will not tolerate this city being made the scene of any such insalt ana assault as has Deen concocted Dy the I.

CIVIL LIBERTIES CJUOIf PROTESTS MAYOR'S ACTIO New York, Oct. 21. The American Civil Liberties union today sent the following telegram to 'Mayor George L. Baker of Portland : "The press re ports that 850 men were, arrested yes terday in Portland upon your order on mere suspicion of, membership ih the Industrial Werkers of the World and in advance of any ' criminal act on their part. We protest such arbitrary action on behalf of traditional Amer ican fair play and civil rights. Surely it is the right of any citizen to be free of arrest until he commits crime. Action on any assumption by authori ties is oppression and not free govern ment." GOVERNOR'S ORDER A?f E3f T I. W. W. AWAITS GENERAL Salem. Oct. 21.

OLD FIRE BY LLOYD (Continued From Fw Oa) charter of liberty for tens of millions of people. Lloyd George attacked competitive armaments. The world democracies. he said, would not,.continue to bear the burdens of armaments. BOXAK LAW HIS ERIE If I "Bonar Law is still a friend of mine and I will not say anything to end that friendship." Lloyd George replied tci a question hurled at him from the audience. He paid tribute to the government's post-war record in cutting down arm aments, reducing expenditures and re establishing Britain's credit. "We pre Jilet now beginning to look tne aoiiar in tne istce. ne emu. ., "! am told I may have been a good war minister, but no good in peace. I'm a good doctor in a matter of life and death, but no good to cure a head ache," he said. This caused a burst of laughter. "We have recaptured the money market our world credit is better than before the war," he said. PEACE WIDESPREAD "We have peace throughout the in dustrial world. "If the situation had not been han dled: most carefully anything might have ' happened. Calling attention to the achieve ments of his ministry, Lloyd George said that if Lord Balfour a member of : his cabinet had not reached the disarmament agreement with the United States "we might have had cofnpetition in armament,' accompa nied by crushing taxation." fWe've now got the friendship and good will of the richest country in the world. Instead of a fist, we've got a handshake from America. We are marching side by side down the. path of peace and international good will." "My whole bent of mind is demo- Check SHOWN GEORGE era tk: and progressive. My opponents dont like it. Eventually they would havai liked It less and less." he said. "This dislike came from experienced party men. . The revolt began In May fair and Belgravia." The aristocratic residential districts of London). The former premier declared Bonar Law had put himself in the position of a horseman, not holding the reins, but holding tjh tail. The former prime minister, -who is fighting to form a new party. and stage a "comeback" which will place him in power again, was greeted with thunderous applause wherever he ap peared In public The Welsh wizard is known to be tremendously encouraged by the rous ing receptions he has been accorded. He believes he is gaining votes every hour for his battle 'with the Tories, upon whom he had declared war. "My sword is in my hand and they . shall feel Its weight." he declared In one of his speeches from his railway carriage Lon the trip to Leeds. TO FORM XEW PARTY With the coalition broken up : and Bonar Law endeavoring to form a con- servauve ministry, juioyd lieorge is concentrating all his' efforts ,on form ing a strong, dangerous Georgian party which he expects to see enter the house of parliament after the next election. k Lloyd George is happy, eager and full of his old fire. His eyes twinkled with glee as the shouting crowds thronged around his railway carriage and pressed against police lines to cheer him as he rode through the streets. He seemed to enioy being "on the outside looking in" for a change and displayed as much energy as in his younger campaigning days. His manner, as he addressed the crowds, was breezy and bantering. "I thank you for coming out to greet one of the unemployed," he said to the as semblage at Bedford. WIFE AT HIS SIDE Mrs. Lloyd Georke was at his shoul der whenever he appeared and came in for her share of the cheers. Both Lloyd George and his wife realize that demonstrations of the past were for the prime minister the head of the government whereas the ovations of the last 24 hours have been for "Good Old Lloyd George" who for years mer. cilessly goaded the party in power. Jvven the oppositon newspapers ex press surprise at the cordiality ;shown him by crowds everywhere. Papers supporting him assert that many Tories are deserting their party and turning out to yell for Lloyd George. CROWD SINCERE I3f GREETING . STATESMAN, SATS WRITER (Special Cable to The Journal and the Chl- C&so Daily News) (Copyright. 1922.) Leeds. England, Oct. 21. Teddv Roosevelt In his' palmiest days would have been delighted by the perform ance of David Lloyd George on his first stumping tour:- after resltrnlne bis post as prime . minister of Great Britain. Leaving London on a special train in the afternoon, the Liberal leader got into action, quickly revert ing to the type of the old-time fist- shaking, name-calling banterer of aris tocracy. On the stage platform In London a great .crowd cheered him to the echo as he called his opponents conservative hot-heads." bent upon destroying -national unity. As the train sped north ward the writer had a chance to study the expression of this remarkable Brit ish politician, findine therein nothinar but the real joy of fighting. With a sparkle in his clear, blue eyes and a smile on his ruddy face, he appeared to be In the height of form physically and mentally. Far from being down cast by; defeat he has thrived on it, actually dropping years in the nroresa of becoming plain Mr. Lloyd George. At every station where the train halted shrieking crowds told him that ne was right in placing his case in the hands of the people. Time after time enthusiastic admirers clung to his hands after the ' train was under way and, running along the coach, almost dragged him out. At such times he proved his ability as a cam paigner by shouting in Rooseveltian style, I depend upon you for fair play," or "You helped win the war now let us go 6n with the job." Through every encounter his wife stood smiling at his side, accepting huge bouquets and reveling in the adulation. So far as the correspondent was able to judge these demonstrations on the part of the public were sincere and heartfelt and not merely assemblies of tne idly curious. NOETHCLIFFE'S BROTHER DEFENDS LLOYD GEORGE London, Oct. 21. (I. N. S.) Lord Rothermere, a brother of the late Lord Xorthcliffe, who was a bitter oppo nent of former Premier David Llovd George, today sprang to the defense of tne Welsh .statesman. Lord Rothermere's greatest hostility was against the Lloyd George policy in the Near East. In his defense of the exrpremier today Lord Rothermere said : There is widespread belief that the people will recall Mr. Llovd' into power again. There is no other statesman in EuroDe of his calibre None of the men around him ran K called his equal. He is he most not able man in public life since Oliver Cromwell." Andrew Bonar Law has not vet wii. ceeded in securing Drnmlsca rVnm enough Unionists to form a new cab inet, it is now eenerallv nentoH n. fact that Bonar Law himself win old two portfolios Dremiershin an foreign secretaryship. In such an event the new British foreign policy probably would embrace rim fit 1 a duction in British commitments abroad. The Near East policy would be recast and a big play would be made upon domestic economy.

"I congratulate you scon vonr ma t- niOcent growth and firmly believe that within a very few years your 8000 ne- ple today will become 20.000. ami thi Institution of which we are all so proud, with its enrollment this year of more than 4000, will carry a regular attend ance of 10.000 or more. Venditions are such that w-e are des tined to continue to be the leading agri cultural college west of the Mississippi river. From a military standpoint we are second today only to West Point weu remember the day that Superintendent Ackerman said i Walter Pierce, you win live to see the day when there -win be 6006 students at Corvallis.' It did not seem possible to me, but it is here in the very near fu ture. How are we to care for them. furnish them ' light, heat butldines. equipment, instructors and alL the many thing that enter into the cost of such, an institution? It is indeed one of the problems of the future- where the money is to come frora if the demand continues to grow.

As that timber is removed and is ship ped to foreign countries and other states, why ehould it not pay to the stte a severance tax that would re lieve the overburdened tax payer, and give us money for future development. INCOME TAX FAIR WAT, ' "I have always relieved in an income tax. and I believe we ought to have one in Oregon. I have written two such bills, and I have been instrumental in pushing them through the state senate, only to see them defeated In the house. I know of no fairer way to collect rev enues for public expenditure than to apportion it on ability to pay. If a man has an extremely profitable, piece of property and another has a piece of property equally as expensive, the first one a large net revenue bearer, and the second operating at a toss, why should not the burden of government fan heavier on the large. revenue producing property than one that is operating at a loss? . "1 know of one building In La Grande with improvements on, it that probably cost $20,000 that rents for $4000 an nually with a total tax charge of $800 annually. I am familier with another piece of property, a farm, assessed for $300,000 that pays an annual tax of $5300, and that farm is operated at a loss, and has been so operated for three years last past, and that farm is pro ducing the articles that the world wants to eat and, wear. WANTS GRADUATED TAX 'Why should that farmer be forced to sit idly by and see the confiscation of his life s earnings because .he was foolish enough to invest, it, in land and cattle, while the one who is fortunate enough to Invest his money In a brick building on a good corner should enjoy such a magnificent income? Every one should pay an income tax and it should be graduated, a low rate on those of small Incomes, and many times higher on the larger incomes with a reasonable exemption for living expenses and care of dependent ones' Walter Pierce's speaking program for today includes an afternoop ad dress before the Pomona grange, of Yamhill county at Yamhill, and an evening address before Rockwood grange at Rockwood. HITCHCOCK, LEADER, FACES HARD FIGHT (Continued Front Pace On) believes Mr. Howell's ideas, if applied nationally, would be unpalatable to the leaders of the Republican party and Its rank and file. PREDICT BIO LEAD Notwithstanding the fact that A. C. Townley sees, much to enthuse in Mr. Howell's candidacy, the peculiar thing is that some conservative Republican newspapers are fighting equally hard to elect Mr. Howell. The truth of the matter iia that the label "Republican' counts for a great deal more when once the nomination is won than do the doctrines that go with the per sonality who wins. And if Mr. How ell is triumphant it will be because the farmers have not oeen won away from the prejudices which caused them to overturn this normally Democratic state and give a big majority to Presi dent Harding tn 1920. Six years ago Senator Hitchcock was reelected by 12.000 votes. Those who have been campaigning with him in sist that he will poll an even larger vote this time and will win by a larger majority. GERMANS FIGURE The fact that the Republican regis tration is 30 or 40 per cent larger than the Democratic Is answered by the argument that practically, the same proportions existed before and Mr, existed Hitchcock won. It will be interesting to see how the Germans in Nebraska will -vote. .This is one of the states where the pendu lum swung to the extreme and where the teaching of any foreign language, German or French, nthe grade schools was forbidden by law. This aroused the Germans and Mr. Hitchcock through his newspaper preached emphatically against carrying thej.war's prejudices to such extremes. He also favored the treaty by which Germany and the United States declared peace, even though the Versailles treaty which he championed so eloquently was shelved ssome or tne Germans who are against the League of Nations are op posed to Mr. Hitchcock because of his fight for that instrument. That's what makes the German vote so hard to un derstand. CHAJiCES ETE!f ' Germany wants admission to the League of Nations and a place on the council. It is true that some Ger man statesmen do not wish to Join un less Impartial America Joins, too, but there to no fundamental opposition in Germany to the league such as is ex pressed on this side of the Atlantic. Mr. Hitchcock always maintained a friendly attitude toward his German -constituents and did not engage In the customary diatribes against Americana of German ancestry. That- he should lose the support; of the German element seems inconceivable and if he is beaten it will ,be largely because of other rea sons, mostly agricultural, " and he is hammering away on that agrarian is sue every day. drawing a big response. Chances of victory are about even at this writing. Coroner Reports Death Accidental Roseburg.

' SHIPPERS ARE TO KEEP UP BATTLE FOR ALLOCATIONS Even if the shipping board denies the request of Portland shippers for the allocation of two of the 502 type combination passenger-cargo steamers ror oriental serviee out of -this -pert. thef shippers will continue to fght for amp allocations wntcn wui Bring Port land's Oriental service up tor a plane equal to that of other Pacific porta. Frank L. ShulL, president of the Portland Flouring Mills company, and chairman of the group of shippers who made the request for allocations, made this announcement today following ad vice from Washington to, the effect that Portland's application was one of three matters now pending before the board. The message said that one applica tion was for three combination steam era to be used in a Pacific Coast-east coast-South American run, serving three major Pacific ports,, and another was an application of the Admiral line for two combination steamers for the Oriental . service. The third applica tion was from Portland. -The request ef the Admiral line was news to the local shippers and led them to .believe that the other two proposals might be counter moves to prevent Portland's application being met. Shull said -that If Portland s appli cation for 502's was denied the com mittee would continue to ikeep after the ijuestlon of Oriental , shipping service until a satisfactory service was ob tained. 1 JAPANE8E BUYERS ATTACK ' GRAIX QUOTATION POMCT Japanese grain buyers are being con fused and sales are being delayed badly through the practice of news aigencies in quoting grain prices and failing to. announce that "theh- prices are bid levels instead of selling prices, said a complaint filed Friday with the Merchant's Exchange by. Suxuki & -Co. The complaint said that the practice of quoting bid prices and not desig nating their nature results in a vari ance of from 4 to 8 cents when the Japanese- buyers accept them as a selling quotation. These bid prices are f. o. b. track instead of on steamer, making an ini tial difference of approximately 2 cents. Since these .quotations have been taken as selling prices, the Japa nese buyers have wired negotiations which have become confused and caused a misunderstanding in busi ness dealings. The entire matter included in the complaint was referred to the execu tive committee of the exchange which will make an investigation and at tempt to straighten oat the difficulty. Leon J. Jackson, editor of the Com mercial Review, grain paper issued ' here, said that his organization had not sent out quotations in the past, but declared thatthe practice of send ing news quotations in the past had caused considerable confusion in the grain trade, which the local sellersoad been unable to understand.
