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

Failure of Portland Protestant

made Friday night at the third annual

It developed through the treasurer'
report that the council is $1225 in ar
rears, and that a comparatively small
number of churches aftd Individuals

about 16000 a year.

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

establishing Britain's credit.

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

a horseman, not holding the reins, but

The former prime minister, -who is

in power again, was greeted with

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

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

cilessly goaded the party in power.
Jvven the oppositon newspapers ex

him by crowds everywhere. Papers
supporting him assert that many Tories
are deserting their party and turning

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

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

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.

Frank L. ShulL, president of the
Portland Flouring Mills company, and

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

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

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.
