Leadheiter Tells Redsons
For Salem's Selection As
Site af Paper Mill Plant

AVashington, Nov. 12. Reports on
the return to work of striking miners
were anxiously nwaiteu ny oruciais
here today while Secretary of Labor
Wilson went ahead with his plans for
the mediation conference of miners
and operators, called for Friday.
Although, on the surface, the gov
ernment believes the men will resume
wrk as soon as revocation of the strike
' call is thoroughly circulated, there
were many who privately expressed
the belief thousands would be likely to
remain out, as the strike call was re
voked under orders from federal court
and under protest.
The operators were quick to accept
Wilson's invitation to a wage confer
in the west for our paper mill, be
cause it is the center of the best pulp
wood timber belt in the westc and Is
centralized in commercial routes."
This statement was made by F. W.
Leadbetter, president of the Oregon
Pulp & Paper company, speaking be
fore the Rotary club at the regular
noon dny luncheon at the Hotel Ma
rion today. Coming in at a late min
ute Mr. Leadbetter told of the aims
of the new paper-company and out
lined other advantages to be reaped
from erecting the new mill here.
Oregon Mills Lend
"It is a pleasure for me to ' say,"
he told the Rotnrinns, "that Oregon
is the center of the paper making in
dustry of the, west, and is fast becom
ing supreme leader in this business
in the world. It was Oregon money,"
he said, "that placed the paper mills
here ,with an approximate capitaliza
tion of 13 millions of dolors. It was
Oregon money that bulit the largest
paper mill plant In the world at
Ocean Falls, B. C."
The paper machine to be installed
at the new mill now under construc
tion here, Mr. Leadbetter said, fs the
most modern in the world.
Orders are Assured
One firm in Chicago, he asserted,
has contracted already for from 10
to 15 tons of the paper manufactured

iness, told the Rotarians in detail otf.
the manufacture of paper. He said
that the Oregon Pulp & Paper com
pany would be the only firm on the
Pacific- coast manufacturing high
grade paper grease proof and book
print.
Pulp Supply Sure
He said that the advantage of be
ing connected with the Chas. K.
Spaulding company was great. Thru
this affiliation, he Eald, the greatest
problem confronting paper manufac
turers today would be partly solved
the procuring of wood for the making
of paper. The Spaulding company's

Oregon delegation, American Legion,
at the national convention in Minne

as a tribute to the men who upheld
our traditions and our liberties. The
memory of those you left behind on
the fields of France will remain for
ever in the minds of our people as a
sign that our institutions and ideals
must not perish from the earth."
The telegram from Governor Ol

lows:
True Americanism is the keynote
of the American. Legion convention
which assembled here today. The
slogan is for home and our country.
We congratulate you for this celebra
tion upon this the first anniversary

with us as American citizens at this
time when the fundamental princi

and pledge yourselves with us to advo

the constitution of the United Btates
and of the state of Oregon?"
Washington. Nov. 12. Senator Mar
tin, Virginia,, died today, according to
word received by his secretary here.
Senator Martin, until his illness
which began several months ago, was
democratic leader in the Benate. He
conducted the administration's bat
tles on the floor throughout the war
and it was his long hours of activity
on the senate floor that are believed
to have undermined his strength and
brought on the general breakdown
which resulted in his death today.
Announcement of Senator Martin's
death was made in the senate by his
colleague. Senator Swanson.
Martin has been in the senate since
1895-and was reelected last year with!
out opposition because of his distin
guished service.
He was born in Alberniarle county,
Virginia, in 1847, was educated at the
Virginia . Military institute and Uni
versity of A'irginla. His only political
office was that of senator.
Martin died at Charlottesville, Va.,
his home.
Senator Swanson spoke briefly, his
Voice broken with emotion.
Senator Lodge, republican leader,
followed with a brief tribute. The
senate adjourned shortly before 2
o'clock out of respect to Senator Martin.

of the attack on the parade of the

Attorney General lhompson ol

reading telegrams reporting three le
gionnaires killed and three injured
by fire from headquarters of the I.
W. W. in Centralia.
Cheers greeted the announcement
that one of the nttackers had been
hanged and 18 more captured. These
were more than drowned in cheers
following announcement that legion
naires had assisted in preserving or

Action Demanded
The "anti-American propaganda
committee," was expected to follow
up the action with vigorous denun
ciation of the "reds" and lukewarm
Americanism. The legion temporarily
sidestepped resolutions offering the
full strength of posts iand the legion
irt crises demanding preservation of
law and order.
Fear that non-members would be
fritrhtened from the legion by the
prospect of police or military service
was one reason for. sending the reso
lution back for amendment
Massachusetts delegates claimed
there was danger "that legitimate pro
tests and disturbances would be in-

posal that the individual posts begin
active work against "every antl-Amer

The legion demanded more- drastic
Immigration laws, exclusion of Japa

The California delegation's plan for
excluding Japanese from citizenship
was approved in one of the demonstra
tlons of the sessions,
Deportation of alien slackers and
agitators was recommended without
a "no."
The war department was censured
as contributing to the spread of ami
Americanism through,- leniency to
wards conscientious objectors.
Resolutions drawing a parallel be
tween punishment of violators of mil
itary discipline and the conscientious
objectors were adopted unanimously.
Withdrawal of the honorable discharg
es granted the objectors and deporta

ed.
Aliens Treated Rough
Aliens got rough treatment in res
olutlons adopted. The legion recom
mended two years of probation for
immigrants, provisions to teaching

prisoners who refused service in the
army and the filing of records of iin
migrants with every naturalization

'The parlor socialist" and bolshevik
were condemned and the Justice de

instead of being a "mere passive evi

Restrictions for foreign language
