BOARD HOLDS
ITS FUNCTION
IS NECESSARY
Not only does the functioning of
the state board of conciliation In
volve, the correct principle for the
settlement of issues arising between
employers and employes, but it Is
conducive to harmony, and a single
year of history of the Oregon board
ha been sufficient to demonstrate
its value to the state. This, In sub
stance, is the conviction of the
board as expressed in its . first an
nual report tq the governor. -' .
The board ihasvrefused to touch
the closed and open shop question,
confining itself entirely to the ques
tions of - wages, fconrs and' working
conditions Both employers and em
ployes, the board finds, are disposed
to be fair and to put aside preju
dice In favor of community interest.
Pay jXot Accepted.
The board I was created by the
legislature of 1919. The members
are William F. Woodward, chair
man: John IC Flynn and Otto R.

Controversy Oyer Rock
Alleging that John Scbawb re
scinded a contract existing between
them, which resulted in the loss of
ll.8SS.12. Is. A. Smith has filed a
complaint against Schwab seeking
judgment against him for the alleged
loss.
According to the complaint, on Oc
tober 20. 1919. an agreement was
affected between the plaintiff and
defendant whereby the plaintiff was
to have the use of a rock crasher
which Mr. Smith had borrowed from
the state to crash 10.000 cubic yards
of rock for road purposes. The 10.-
000 cubic yards of crushed rock was
to be completed by the last day of
January. 1921. It was also stipulat
ed In the contract that rock crashed
daring the winter of 1919 and 1920
was not to be computed on the stip
ulated 10.000 cubic yards, although
It waa said that the plaintiff could
be crashing rock on that contract.
In accordance with the agreement
the plaintiff- claims that he crashed
S616 cable yards . between the date
of March 21 and Jane 29. 1920.
This amount he claims waa on the
amount called for In the contract.
According to Mr. Smith's computa
tion as represented in his complaint.
ne would be required to crash 4384
cable yards to make the total called
for in the contract of 10.000 cable
yards.
About the end of Jane, claims Mr.
Smith, the defendant cancelled the
contract without mutual agreement
The rescinding of .the contract. It Is
claimed, resulted tn the loss of
11885.12 to the plaintirf. Smith says
that he had only 42S4 cable yards
to crash at the time of the contract
cancellation. Me says that he was
being paid by the defendant for
crushed rock, on which he realized
43 cents profit, because the cost for
crashing the rock waa only 82 cents.
This rep reseats his loss.
As a remedy for the disregard of
me contract the plaintiff in the suit
eeks judgment against the defend
ant for $1885.12. representing the
alleged loss, attorney'a fees and the
cost and disbursement In the action
for recovery. ' i

EMBARGO HAY
SOLVE TROUBLE
H'NARY THINK
That an embargo on exportation
may possibly be the means of solu
tion of the gasoline situation Is the
opinion or United States Senator Me
Nary after rerelving from the fed
eral trade commission figures apply
ing to the gasoline and crude oil in
dustry on the Pacific coast.
The figures show that for the first
six months of the preeent year the
export business waa 4.000.000 gal
lons In excess of the export trade
for 1919. or about 33 1-3 per cent,
enough to go long way toward al
leviating the shortage on the coast.
Embargo PoiWe
"In view of the limited production
of gasoline tn California and the
great demand for commercial and
pleasure purposes. I believe congress
should give serious consideration to
the enactment of legislation placing
an embargo on the sale and shipment
of crude oils and gasoline to foreign
countries. said Senator McNary- ,
"When congress reconvenes I in
tend to present the matter to some
appropriate committee for Investiga
tion into the propriety of enacting
legislation corrective of present con
ditions." Upon Inquiring of the federal trade
commission concerning the amount
of export business being done in
gasoline on the Pacific coast. Sena
tor McNary received the following
telegraphic reply from William B.
Clover, acting chairman of the com
mission. Figures Show Conditio
"Available Information indicates
the acute situation on the Pacific
coast doe to supply and demand con
ditions, though this Is not expressed
as a final conclusion. Primarily the
low gasoline content In California
erode makes It impossible to meet
growing demands for gasoline whicn
demand has been enormously accen
tuated by the Increased number or
gasoline engines of all kinds. Up to
1919 gasoline for the Pacific coast
came almost entirely from California,
erode. In 1919 and 1920 It has been
necessary to secure gasoline from
other fields to help supply the Pacific
coast trade. All figures below are In
gallons are substantially cor rest:
"California, gasoline production.
1918. 434.392.000; In 1919. 417,
