The Strike and President Roosevelt
FROM1 the Oregonian:
"General strike or no general strike. Portland's condition
is intolerable. 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.
Corvallls has a riding academy and it is going to put on a sum
mer horse show. Some swank town.

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

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

Archer shifted his anxious eyes.
"Why. do sir."
"One more question, Aicher,"

Finn asked weakly.
"A very clever murderer. Mr
Finn. Someone who masqueraded

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

"Maybe if we work togethei we

Finn did not reply for a minute.
Then he strode over to the bed and

he said.
Mark took his hand and grinned.
"Swell I Now if I were you, I'd
go along letting everyone believe

"Do you think I ought to arrest

"No, I wouldn't do that -ft isn't

"IH do that Mr. Hillyer." Finn

Men in .Oregon. 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.)

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.

he was stationed at Belllngham.
