Japanese Lacking
War's Enthusiasm
but Give Support
By JAMES A. MILLS
ON BOARD THE PRESIDENT
McKINLET.! Between Kobe, and
Shanghai, Aug. 16-(;p)-I have left
a Japan which is preparing for
war In China grimly and on a
huge scale . but .without popular
enthusiasm.
Japan soon will have 100,000
fighting men in China, but the
masses at home who ultimately
must pay for it all, do not like the
prospect.. Under the stimulus of
official propaganda, however, the
nation has accepted the conflict
reluctantly as a bad Job from
which there is no backing down.
Already the people are restless
under heavy taxation and the high
cost of living, but still they deck
their homes with rising sun flags
and throng to the railway stations
to -chant "Banzai" as the troop
trains roll out.
The President McKinley, cross
ing the China Sea enroute to the
Shanghai battle zone, has passed
transports carrying 20,000 troops
to augment the army and navy
forces already fighting in China,
which Is estimated at 80,000 men.

Labor Council of
Portland Unseats
Four CIO Unions
PORTLAND, August 1-0P-The
Portland central labor coun
cil voted 176 to 69 tonight to un
seat four local unions with a to
tal membership of 5100 for affil
iation with the CIO.
Largest of the outsted unions
was the Portland local of the lum
ber and sawmill workers' union,
with 4000 members, which ac
cepted a CIO charter Saturday.
Others were two units of the
textile workers' union, with 800
members, and the Portland local
of the lady garment workers' un
ion with 300 members, whose pa
rent internationals are affiliated
with the CIO.
Resident Favored
for Dam Position
PORTLAND. Aug. 16 .-Governor
Martin's committee to se
lect a candidate for Bonneville
dam administrator met today and
said the position should go to "a
qualified person residing in the
Bonneville area and devoted to
the development of the Columbia
basin."
J. E. Ross of Seattle, promin
ently mentioned for the post, did
not come within the meaning of
the definition, the committee said,
It named six others whose names
will be submitted to the president
and secretary of the interior.
They are Claude C. Hockley,
E. G. Robinson, C. I. Grim, and
F. R. Schanck, all of Portland:
Joseph McArthur of Eugene and
Thomas Delzell of Klamath Falls,

ate floor where opponents de
clared that Black cannot legally
sit on the supreme bench. They
argued that congress in passing
an act under which Justice Van
Devanter retired (but still re
mains a member of the court),
really created the tenth justice
ship.
Black cannot fill that post, they
argued, because the constitution
forbids a member of congress to
take a position he helped to cre
ate. Black's supporters strenuous
ly disputed this contention.

Tenancy Program
Funds Are Denied
WASHINGTON, August li-JP)
Another social experiment suf
fered a setback today when the
house appropriations committee
refused to approve $20,000,000
for the new farm tenancy pro
gram. . Congress passed the program,
minus funds, weeks ago, and the
administration had planned to be
gin converting tenant, farmers
into land owners this fall.
However, the . appropriations
committee declared there is no
"emergency" and the program
can well be delayed until next
year.
Half of the 120,000,000 was to
have been used for loans to ten
ants to buy farms and the rest
to retire certain poor land in the
"dust bowl" from cultivation.
