today by Chairman Kenyon of the sen
ate labor committee.
Prealdent Wilson would be requested
by congress to call a national Indus
trial congress, composed of 300 dele
gates divided equally between labor
uniens and industry, which would rec
ommend a plan for permanent indus
trial courts and also formulate a pro
gram of principles to govern future in
dustrial relations.
Temporary Board Plan.
It also is proposed that, pending ac
tion by the national labor congress, the
president establish a national labor
board, to function temporarily like tu
war labor board In hearing industrial
controversies.
Senator Kenyon told the senate that
the preparation of an industrial code
was the primary thing he sought.
"If employer nnd employe could get
together and agree on an industrial
code recognizing the eight-hour day, a
living wage, the right of collective bar
girnlnglng and other fundamental
matters," said Senator Kenyon, "then
disputes over these fundamentals could
be taken care of In the industrial
court
English Test Plan.
"The conference proposed goes ir
beyond the present conference or the
former one which ended in disaster.
England tried this plan and It was mo.
cessful.
"In the adjustment period throutrh
which we. are now passing there exists
no general national agency for the set
tlement of industrial disputes, or for
the determination of a general labor

HOOVER RtLIEF PLAN
fiPPHOVED B! BERLIN
Thirty-seven measures jammed
through by the lawmakers in that wild
est week of legislation in the history of
the state have fallen by the wayside,
laid low by the governor's official veto,
and the casulty list Is expected to show
several further additions when reports
from the front are all in.
"Emergency" measures bills of lit
tle general Importance, many of them
of purely local interest have been at
tacked with particular glee by the of- j
ficial executioner, the governor taking
occasion In numerous of his messages
accompanying the returned bills to call
attention to the abuse of the opportun.
ities offered by the special session as
well as the misuse to which the emer
gency clause has been put in connec
tion .with measures which not be inter
preted as emergency legislation by any'
stretch of the most vivid Imagination.
Norblad BUI Killed.
Senator Norblad's bill conferring
upon the port of Astoria wide powers
of bonding without consulting the peo
ple of the district, came under the dis
approving eye of the governor today.
In his message accompanying the re
mains of this1 measure back to the sen
ate from which it emanated Governor
Olcott declares:
"This Is a measure making very ma
terial amendments to the general port
laws. Ostensibly it is designated to
affect the port of Astoria alone but In
reality It affects every port in- the
state, . , With the exception of the pro
vision relative to he issuance of bonds
its would apply likewise to the port of
Portland at such time as a bill affect
ing that port passed by the special
sssion beebmes a law. It will be noted
that section three of this bill declares
an emergency. By the use of this emer
gency clause the people within the con.
fines of those ports as well as of the
stte at large are deprived of an oppor
tunity of expressing their approval ot
disapproval of the terms of the bill."
Clerical Error Fatal.
A clerical error In house bill 42, de
signed to make more definite and cer
tain the powers of the state board of
fish and game commissioners in pur
chasing land for game farm purposes
has resulted In the death of that meas
ure at the hands of the governor, As
pointed out in the official death mes
sage both the title and body refer to
the measure as amending seclon 3 on
'page" 2S7 of the general laws of 1915
whereas it is evident that the legisla
tors intended to amend "chapter" 287,
as the "page" referred to deals with
pawn shops and not with game farms.
'The title of the bill in question even
fails to mention that its subject matter
relates o fish and game In any manner,
consequenly to allow It to go on the
statute books would In no way enhance
the powers of the. fish and game com
mission and it might very materially
affect the validity of the act relating
to the business of persons loaning
money other than banks and trust com
panies," the governor's message concludes.
Other Measures Die.
Other measures falling under the
executive exe today together with the
governor's message explaining his veto
fololw:
H. B. 20, by Edwards Giving au
thority to the state for the construction
of a bridge across the Nestucca river.
"It Is a measure of purely local type
covering construction of a privately
owned bridge and should have had no
place In the consideration of the spe
cial session."
S. B. 14. by Hurley Regulating the
grazing of non-residnt owned live
stock upon unenclosed lands.

PERSHING IN SALEM FOR
v FEW MINUTES BUT VISIT
HERE WAS NOT EXPECTED
A total of 49 of the 57 measures
passed by. the special session ot the
legislature last : week had safely run
the gauntlet of executive approval up
to this noon. Thirty seven have met
sudden death under the official veto
of the governor and 11 yet await the
verdict of the court of last resort.
The ten million dollar highway
bond bill passed by the special ses
sion of the legislature last week and
about whose fate there has been con
siderable doubht since Governor Ol
cott began wielding his official axe
against measures appearing In public
under the chaperonage of old famil
iar "emergency clause" went to the
secretary ot state's office this morn
ing; to automatically become a law.'
Although the governor did not use his
veto on this measure as he has been
doing all down the line on "emer
gency" legislation passed by the spe
cial session, neither did he honor the
bill by affixing thereon his official
signature. He has simply kept hands
off, leaving the measure to take Its
course and automatically become a
law by failure of the veto to operate
within five days after the receipt ot
the bill by the governor. The bill oar-
rlea the emergency clause, thus shut
ting off any chance for referring the
measure to a vote of the people. It
will not become fully operative how
ever, unless the people approve the
Stewart bill increasing the bonding
limitation of the state tor road pur
poses from two to four percent. Un
der the present limitation It is pos
sible to issue a total of only $19,808,-
709.44 in road bonds. Bonds author
ized to date for road purposes aggre
gate $17,818,280.55 leaving a balance
of only $1,989,428.89 which can be Is-
sued under the new ten million dollar
bill until the bonding limitation is In.
creased as provided In the Stewart bill
which will be up to a vote of the peo
ple at the May election.
Limitation Saves Four
' In addition to-thevte-n million dol
lar bond bill four other measures
were forwarded to the secretary of
state's office this morning to become
law by the rule of limitation. These
Were as follows:
H. B. 41 providing a penalty of a
Jail sentence and fine for killing elk.
