Last month's clearings, by far
the largest in the last six years,

TIE STEPS TO
HALT DELIVERY
Showdown After 48 Hours
More Faced; Seek to
Avoid Violence
Emergency Squad of Police
Formed; Fight Occurs
Near Union Hall
PORTLAND, Ore., April l.-(Jp)
-Th seamen's strike was precip
itated toward a showdown in
Portland when union representa
tives tonight voted to attempt to
halt gasoline deliveries if an
agreement with shippers was not
reached in 4 8 hours.
"We don't want any violence
and the pickets will try to talk
drivers out of distributing gas
oline and oil," said C. E. Carter,
union agent here.
While picket lines were being
strengthened, Chief of Police Har
ry Niles organized a special emer
gency squad to report at head
quarters tomorrow morning and
to keep itself constantly ready for
call.
He said he ordered formation
of the squad for general emergen
cy duty and not for strike work in
particular. However it was con
sidered significant that the move
came as picketing activity was
increased and in view of the an
nounced intentions of oil compan
ies to make gasoline deliveries de
spite the strike of seamen for un
ion recognition and wage adjust
mets. , "If pickets attempt to stop
trucks on docks we'll haul the of
fending strikers to Jail," Chief
Nile3 said. "On the other hand,
we will see that union members
are protected in their picketing
rights."
Carter said strikers will attempt
to keep two oil tankers tied up
here and that "there is no danger
of getting tankers out." He did
not explain how tankers would be
prevented from leaving.

The meeting today, at the Mar

modifications made by Washing
ton in the hopmarketing agree
ment and will also select tenta
tively the three men from Oregon

board of 15 members.
Leaders in the code movement
said yesterday Senator McNary
has wired that hearings on the
amendments to the adjustment
act have not been completed, and
pending that time nothing new in
the move to make hops a basic
commodity may be expected.
Yakima, Wash., hop growers,
in a meeting Friday night, insist

under the proposed marketing
agreement, and bo wired the de

Contrary to Initial drafts of the
market agreements, the Washing
ton, D. C, officials have asked for
equal representation of dealers
and brewers with growers on the
board, with a disinterested mem
ber to bring the total to 15.

Tl
County-Has Only $15,000 :
of State Money to Pro
vide for 8000 Persons
Projects Will be Halted if
Word Not Forthcoming
Within Few Days
Marion county again faces a
shutdown in its SERA work pro
jects. This announcement came
from the county relief offices late
yesterday after officials had wait
ed throughout the day for notice
of the county's April allotment of
federal funds.
Reversing the situation bring
ing about the halt in work Mare!
1 and 2, the present cause is con
gress' delay in passing President
Roosevelt's $4,880,000 relief bill,
it was stated. The closing down of
projects early last month was laid
to the legislature's failure to ap
propriate state funds for relief.
With only a $15,000 state allot
ment to this county for April to
meet relief costs, there is scarcely
sufficient money on hand to care
for the present week's needs, re
lief officials said. Last week's
SERA work project payroll alone
totaled $8081.26, which was ap
proximately one-third less than
the average weekly amount.
If news of a federal allotment
to the county is not received with
in the next two or three days, pro
ject work will be halted and di
rect relief curtailed, it was said.
The shutdown in projects would
affect approximately 1800 men
and women. More than 8000 per
sons are on the relief rolls, receiv
ing direct or work relief.
PORTLAND, Ore., April l.-ijfy
Oregon must finance its own di
rect relief and work relief pro
gram until new federal funds are
provided at Washington, D. C.
Elmer Goudy, Oregon relief ad
ministrator, tonight said the fed
eral government has made no re
lief allotments for April. How
ever state relief funds from li
quor profits have been allocated
to the counties and can carry the
program for a week, he said.
Congress, which still is thresh
ing out provisions of the relief
bill, holds the answer to what the
federal government will do to
ward taking care of Indigent, and
how soon the program can be put
into motion again.
Emergency relief officials at
Washington reported that only
$4,000,006 remained on hand for
direct relief. The PWA also re
ported it had only $9,000,0
more that could be diverted to the
FERA without congressional ac
tion.
Harry L. Hopkins, FERA chief.
notified b u d g e t officials that
$117,000,000 would be needed for
April the same total advanced
for March. -
"I have no Idea when the fed
eral allotments win be made,"
Goudy said. "But we will con
tinue the Oregon program lor
