So Is the condition of the whole Pacific coast. The authority that tan cure the situation quickly the only power that can do it v.ith certainty is the president of the United States. It is his move." tv,,. nraffAiiion nnwi s Int of sniveling over the strike. It has been passing, the buck to Pres. Roosevelt from the first What authority does the president have to act in Port land? Is he some deity who when he opens his mouth can command the naughty strikers to put down their clubs? Does the Oregonian want him to send in federal troops ; and if so on what grounds? The mails are not being interfered with; the governor has not asked for intervention of the federal army. Mavor Carson has made an attempt to let work be re "8umed; but the city council crumpled up when some one waved a bloody shirt. The town bankers down there are the biggest cowards of the lot, running to Gov. Meier and wring ing their hands and imploring him NOT to bring in troops because some one might let off a firecracker in front of their marble banking houses. " Portland is getting the kind of government she has been voting for all these years. It's tough on the rest of the north west, and maybe the embattled farmers will have to go down and unlock the harbor so their wheat can be shipped. Now the governor is taking a hand to sustain public peace. When his power i3 exhausted (which it will not be if exercised) it will be timely to appeal to .the president. General Johnson who is on the job in San Francisco says that the interference with interstate commerce and the feed ing of the people make the strike a federal matter. The gen eral is speaking in an "individual" capacity again, as he did at Waterloo; for he is without official standing in the con troversy, merely an unofficial observer. However, suppose we accept the thesis that the strike is a federal matter which puts the question up to Pres. Roosevelt. That is precisely the dilemma which the president has been in in the previous major strikes, and which he has resolved by compromise. The question is, in the minds of labor : will the federal . government enforce the guarantees of section 7-a of NIRA? Labor interprets this as a pledge of the "closed shop" al though it is impossible to read that in the text of the stat ute. Since NRA was hailed as a charter of liberty for organ ized labor, and since the prime demand of organized labor is the closed shop, the question that has arisen" in all the strikes is recognition of the union and the closed shop. The public misses the crux of the matter when it thinks this strike is just an isolated affair, one which may be "mediated" by just splitting the difference between the contestants. In the present case the recovery act is not pertinent because no code has been formed for shipping and because the employers have agreed to recognize the union for purposes of collective bargaining. The moot point, control of the hiring hall, is how ever the question of the closed shop. The rooting of strikes in new deal legislation was dis cussed in this column a few days ago. The current issue of The Nation, New York pro-labor weekly, comments on the strike outbreaks under the title, "Can labor enforce Section 7-a?", saying: "All of these conflicts, of course, are rooted in the broken promises of the NRA. While the President talks peace and amity to the Haitians, the Colombians, and the world at large, the ra dio of the S. S. Houston is sputtering news of war all over the industrial map of America. Section 7-a was in effect a promissory note given to labor to insure Its support of the NRA and of the Administration. Industry also got its promissory note, in the form of a suspension of the anti-trust laws and the. incorporation of price-fixing provisions in the codes. Since big business, organ ised in trade associations, controlled the code authorities, in dustry was able to collect on this promissory note of the Admin istration, and continues to collect, despite the protests of the Darrow Board in, behalf of small business and the consumer. Labor, lacking equally powerful organization, has been far less successful in collecting its promissory note. The government has repeatedly defaulted on the clear obligation written into Section 7-a in the Weirton case; in the automobile settlement: last and most miserably in the case of the Harriman Mills, which cheerfully defied the screams of General Johnson's moulting Blue Eagle. "Labor's revolt is not revolution, and cannot be, in the ab sence of an effectively organized revolutionary movement, which has not yet appeared in this country. But clearly, the rapid spread of the strike wave, characterized by increasing violence and increasing willingness on the part of hitherto conservative labor elements to invoke the dangerous weapon of the general strike, means that the conflict of forces is developing. Labor Is not going to take the defaults of the New Deal lying down; it Is not going to be pot off with new promises that merely take the place of other promises already broken. If the President will not or cannot enforce Section 7-a, perhaps labor can and will. Three weeks from now Mr. Roosevelt will be back in tie White House. It will be interesting to watch the reaction of the Pres ident's celebrated political sensitivity to the new turn of events. Will he 'crack down?' And on whom?" Labor joins the Oregonian, but from a different angle, in putting the issue up to Mr. Roosevelt. Labor demands a make-good on new deal promises of union recognition and new deal implication of a closed shop. The longshore strike on the coast does not technically come under NRA, but act ually it comes tinder new deal assurances. It is a mistake to impute all the strikes to communist agitation. In Portland the leaders are not communists, but labor leaders who know their power and are using it. Rad icals like Bridges forced the general strike and hope it is the initial push to revolution ; but unionists are liquidating the general strike as discreetly as they can. So, in quite a different sense than the Oregonian sug gests, the issue, not of this strike alone, but of all strikes, goes up to the president. Though he is fishing in mid-Pacific waters, the naval radio lays the squalling brat right on his mess table. The country will watch, as The Nation says, to see if the president "cracks down" and on whom. Why scold at the Portland gypsy woman who "blessed" an As toria man's $550 by taking it away with her? She was merely doing her part to redistribute the wealth of the country; and that without running for office. Between gypsies. Wall street and the tax gath erer wealth gets circulated as fast as a patent heating stove circu lates hot air. : Pres. Roosevelt radios Ma Perkins that he thinks common sense will prevail in the dock strikes. That's Just what the country has shown least of for tea weeks.

DEATH SONG CHAPTER XX Then I thought about Lores. Be had tried to fool Mark with a pal pably false alibi, and then had of fered a my lame explanation of tt But he had photographed Lake side Cottage and with It the mur derer, about to enter Veil's room to kill him: obviouslv if he war the murderer, he could not take af pnotograpb of himself. Then why had he tried to fabricate an alibi? i "That's easy," Mark said prompt-! ty when I propounded that ques tion the next morning. "When Loren talked to me in the morning, he didnt know he had an alibi in the form of a photograph. And did you notice, be didnt offer an explanation of the lie he told me until after I bad pointed oat the gardener in che picture?" We were on Mark's porch when this conversation took place. He had been bathed that morning and his face was rosy. He looked hap pier, more himself, than he had in months. On other porches along the end of the hospital building we could see other patients enjoy ing the morning sun. which was already hot. I thought over this explanation for a moment and then asked tri umphantly. "But if he isn't the murderer, why did he want an alibi?" "Aye. there's the rub. That's what I'M like to know. Of coarse, he may merely have been afraid that he'd be involved, since he was so near the cottage, and alone." I sighed. Every new discovery seemed to beget a new possibility and further complicate the case. I told Mark my own conclusions about John Calvert and he grinned approvingly. "Excellent deduction! Between the two of as, we ought to give birth to enough theories to drive Finn out of his mind. Have you given any thought to our late friend. Vail?" "Why, no." T said. The question itartled me, for it made me realize how quickly Vail's personality had passed from my mind. "I'd forgot ten all about him aa a man. 1 mean." "So has everyone else but roe," said Mark, "and that's where every one else is making a mistake. After all, a murdered person cant be ignored. He really is of some im portance in the case. He must have done something to someone to make him a candidate for homicidal at tentions." "That's true." "I've been thinking of Vail a lot, and I'm not at all satisfied with the general estimate of him. Vail's our lead I Vail's got to be some thing more than a rubber-stamp weakling who couldn't take it when his wife died. If that's all he was, why should anyone want to kill him?" He pounded the bed in his vehemence and then winced with pain as he jarred his knees. "What's your analysis of him?" I asked. "I havent finished it yet," Mark answered. "John Calvert says they've received a message from his ister. She' coming here, and when I've talk with her, maybe lU have a dearer picture of him." Mark seized a sheet of writing paper from his table, found a pen cil and said: "I want a plan of the set of this melodrama. Give me a hand, will you? How is Lakeside Cottage laid out?" Together, after fifteen minutes, we evolved a ground plan of the cottage, with the name of each oc cupant printed neatly by Mark in his room. With Vail's room he took more pains, asking me to show him the location of the bed and the windows and doors. I pointed them out and he indicated them, remark ing as he sketched in the private entrance. "One practical door. And there's our set. He leaned back, held his head on one side and contemplated his draw ing with satisfaction. Then he went to work on another, a map of the entire sanatorium. I showed him the approximate location of the cot tages and other buildings, most of which he had seen only once, on the day he was admitted, and helped him draw in the lake and the woods He was just finishing it when the sheriff arrived. The sheriff was Ex-Sheriff Dressed in, Prison Here Gordon L. Schemerhorn, former sheriff of Jackson county, yester day was dressed into the state penitentiary to begin a three year term imposed in connection with the ballot theft cases in that county more than a year ago. His job had not yet been assigned to him. The former county official walked into the penitentiary un accompanied. He came to Salem by bus and went immediately to the penitentiary to report to War den James Lewis. Many times previously he had presented the warden with commitment papers for other prisoners. His commit ment papers were mailed. In sentencing the former sher iff, who failed to have his convic tion reversed by the state supreme court. Judge G. F.'Skipworth of Eugene recommended he be par doned after six months. Former County Judge Earl Fehl is already serving a term In connection with the same case, which was climax ed by the shooting of Constable George Prescott by L. A. Banks, newspaper e dl tor of Medford. Banks is serving a life term. Tonite Zad Saturday BOO SKATS 1 TONIGHT kDC r""? Si The OREGON STATESMAN, Salem, smoking a long cigar and ha looked exceedingly complacent. "I understand yon saw two gar denera worlds outside on the lawn daring rest period on Thursday," ha said to Mark, That's right, sheriff. I ean tes tify that they were there the entire hoar and a half." "Could row Identify them, Mr. ttuiyerr "I believe I could." The sheriff crossed the room and threw open the door with the air ox a conjuror. "Bring them in." he said, and two nervous overalled gardeners catered, followed by deputy. Mark studied their faces for a minute. Then he nodded and aid, "They're the men I saw, I ean vouch for them." "All right, yon ean go," Finn said and they shambled oat word lessly behind Finn's man. The sheriff robbed hit hands. "That just about washes up this ease, Mr. Httryer. Barker's the man, all right. Only a few loose ends to tie op now. The coroner's inquest's set for Tuesday and the D. A.'s all ready to bring in an indictment." "One of the loose ends," said Mark, Is getting a confession from Joe. It wont oe easy to convict him without one." "Pll get that an right," Finn said. He clenched his big right fist and stared grimly at his knuckles. "He's going to break soon, HeU come through." "By the way " said Mark, "have yon seen Dr. Calvert this morning?" At the mention of the physician's name Finn's body stiffened. "No," he said shortly. "He was looking for yoa, sheriff. He has something to tell you." "He has?" "Yes. You know the overalls the pair the murderer wore? Wen. they arent Joe Barker's. They belong to one of the other garden ers, a fellow named Sam Archer." "They do?" Finn 'exclaimed. "How do yoa know?" "1 suggested that Dr. Calvert check up with the laundry on the laundry mark." Mark explained. Finn's face turned scarlet "Say, who's the sheriff, anyway?" he de manded. "Who gave yoa leave to huts into thia?" Mark smiled gently, "1 thought I was being helpful," he said. "I'm sorry to knock down your theory, sheriff." The veins In Finn's neck swelled. He said. "Don't worry, you ain't done that I Lf the overalls don't belong to Barker, he stole 'em, I'll soon find out about that" He strode to the door and flung It open. "Simpson, bring Archer in." "Why didnt you tell me those overalls were yours?" Finn said angrily when Archer stood before him. The tall, lanky gardener swal lowed. His large, brown, heavily veined hands began to tremble. "What overaLs?" he asked. "The overalls we found in the lake." "I didn't know they was mine, sheriff. I swear I didnt." "They got your laundry mark on them, Archer," Finn said. "They must be the old pair I lost, then," the man answered. "Somebody took 'em out cf my locker in the tool shed." "Have all the gardeners got lock ers there?" Finn asked. Archer nodded. "Yes, sir." "Where's Barker's?" "Right aside of mine." Firm cast a triumphant glance at Mark, but he was listening too intently to notice it "When did yon miss 'em?" the sheriff went on. "A month back. Honest sheriff, It never came into my head that they might be the same ones. It was an old pair that I tost, and I never bothered about 'em." Mark sat op so suddenly that one of his pillows fell to the floor. His eyes gleamed with excitement "Is the tool shed kept locked?" be asked. Archer shifted his anxious eyes. "Why. do sir." "One more question, Aicher," Mark said. He was very earnest almost desperately so. "Think care fully." he said. "1 want yoa to tell the sheriff as nearly as yoa can P 111 H SANTALY A full registration for the first week of camp, an excellent staff of assistants and a carefully worked out program contribute to expectations that the annual girls' camp at Camp Santaly, under aus pices of the Y.

The first week of camp opens Saturday, when 35 girls are scheduled to go. This registration is considerably larger than last year.

"But I know you wouldn't want to burn an Innocent man. Yoa should thank me for it Lf I hadnt done it some smart lawyer would have torn your case to pieces in court and made yon look silly." "If Joe didn't take 'era, who did?" Finn asked weakly. "A very clever murderer. Mr Finn. Someone who masqueraded as a gardener when he went out to murder VaiL Someone who was artful enough to convert a pair of hedge shears into a dagger." Beads of sweat stood out on Finn's forehead. He looked at Mark dumbly, as though for guid ance. When he spoke, all the self assurance had left his voice. "Darn it" he groaned, "how are we ever going to catch anybody as smart as that?" "Maybe if we work togethei we can." Mark said. "Catching the murderer's become my hobby, and I 'to tmt nlont"T7 rt-f mrmv tn anomf for the ride. The question is, will yoa work with me?" Finn did not reply for a minute. Then he strode over to the bed and held out his hand. "Sure I will." he said. Mark took his hand and grinned.

"No, I wouldn't do that -ft isn't necessary. Everyone knows Dr. Calvert has interceded for Joe. You might have him tailed, though just to make it seem realistic" "IH do that Mr. Hillyer." Finn said humbly. "I'll appreciate it if yoo let me know as soon as yoo get any ideas." "I'd keep you busy if I did," Mark answered. "I've had a lot of ideas, but I don't want to shoot off my mouth too soon and get myself in trouble. As soon as I have anything good. 111 let you know." "Thanks," the sheriff said. Ht sighed deeply and left us. Mark looked at me and winked. "Well, I guess that makes me a real dick," he said.

Indian wars who attained high commands in other wars, and rank in civil life: (Continuing from yesterday:) General Ord retired In 1880, and afterward, by special act of con gress, he was commissioned ma jor general. s s's Early In Oregon history, Ord began to be heard of above the Spanish (California) line. He was still second lieutenant, or first lieutenant, in 1848. for this news paragraph was printed in the Oregon Spectator, Oregon City, Sept 7, 1848: "Lieut. E. O. C. Ord, of the 3rd Artillery, forwarded one six pound brass gun, with 210 strap ped shot, 70 canister shot, 28 spherical shot, and other artillery service, 500 muskets, with their fixtures, and 50,000 ball, with a large amount of ammunition. Note: The invoices were dated June 27 and July 10, respectively. They arrived on the Henry Aug. 9." S S This was after the Whitman massacre, followed by the Cayuse war, and Governor Abernethy of the Oregon provisional govern ment had been calling on U. S. army officers in California for equipment for the Oregon citizen soldiers. The supplies sent by Lieut. Ord came from Monterey, California, military headquarters then. Mrs. Fuller in her "Indian Wars" said, of the same period: "After the danger had passed (af ter the Cayuse war) . . . Major A. J. Hardie, on his return to California, forwarded 100 rifles, 25,000 rifle cartridges, and 200 pounds of rifle powder, with two six-pound iron guns and car riages, and ammunition for same." (This was Major A. J. Hardie, who some eight to 10 years later was in charge of Fort Umpqua, near the present Gardiner. He also fought in the Yakima war. Hardie attained high ranks after that, in his country's wars, and will be .mentioned later in this series.) S W One of Bancroft's writers for his Oregon History, speaking of the supplies sent up from Mon terey, said: "Fortunately, for the peace of the colony (Oregon), these military stores did not ar rive while the American blood was at fever with wrongs real and fancied; but in time to give a feeling of security to that por tion of the inhabitants who re mained when the majority of the able bodied men had rushed off to the gold fields of California the same year." (It will be recalled that the Oregon citizen soldiers who fought the Cayuse war of 1847-8 furnished their own equip ment and supplies, and that soim of the guns and a good deal of the powder went from the store of Thomas Cox, first stdVe in what became Salem; given without money and without price.) S S Not on the Bancroft list was George E. Pickett, early Indian war fighter in the Puget Sound district, afterward one of the greatest of the rebel generals in the Civil war. Geo. E. Pickett, born at Rich mond, Va., Jan. 25, 1825, a cadet from Illinois, graduated from West Point in the 1846 class. U. S. army 2nd lieutenant of 2nd in fantry, his commission was dated March 3, 1847.

He was in the 1826 class from West Point, and entered the 2nd infantry; was on garrison duty for 10 years; became first lieutenant June 28, 1836. Served under Gen.

He became lieut. colonel of the 9th infantry March 3, 1855. In the years 1854-5, he served on the board on breech-loading arms. December 3, 1S55, his regiment was ordered to the Pacific coast, and in February, '56, he arrived at Fort Steilacoom, Wash. He was commanding officer of the Puget Sound district during the years 1856-9, with plenty of activity in fighting Indians and protecting settlers.
