Germany
Is Almost
Disarmed
Rriin. Nov. 3. Germany dis
armament, bo far a weapons of
war are concerned, is practically
completed, according to the inter
.tiled Control Commission. Artll
irv small arms, airplanes and
fortifications have mostly been de
stroyed. A few small fortresses
on the Baltic Sea. erected as pro
tection from Russia, are now ne
Ing dismantled.
Although no formal announce
ment has been made In Berlin, the
International News Service ih in
formed that recommendations have
been made by General Nonet, ins
enior officer of me Interallied
Commission, which will cut down
the aire of the control commission.
The reduction In personnel will
come this spring.
The principal attention of the
International Commission Is be
ing given to the organisation of
the German police to prevent Ger
many from organizing a secret
reserve army under the guise of
police. At the present time the
glcherhetU Pollzel or "green po
lice," live in barracks and go
through much of the drill form
erly done by regulars on the drill
ground.
Watch the Police.

several times had occasion to send
motes to th German government

The Coal Strike
A genera strike of coal miners threatens the country as
the result of the injunction granted by Federal Judge Ander
son at Indianapolis Monday enjoining as a violation of the
anti-trust law, coal operators from carrying out the "check
off" system, whereby union dues were deducted by the
operators from the payroll and paid in a lump sum to the
union.
It is by means of the check-off system that the solidarity
of the unions is maintained and the closed shop is enforced.
It is one of the provisions in the contract between the oper
ators and the union. It prevents the workman from becom
ing delinquent with the union and being expelled, and it shuts
the door on the employment of non-union men.
Under the contract with the union, the wage scale and
conditions of labor are determined. The union agrees to
supply men for definite periods at agreed upon wages, thus
eliminating the strike menace. Disputes are adjusted by
joint conciliation boards and any strike in violation of the
agreement is declared "illegal" by the union and the partici
pants expelled.
Operators now can not deduct union dues without violating
the courts order, altho under their contract they are obliged
to. Union leaders claim that such action violates their con
tract, and leaves them without protection, and threaten
strike. Probably the case will be appealed and the strike
averted untilthe supreme court adjudicates the right of em
ployers and employes to employ and work without coercion
and compulsion.
The injunction is the result of the warfare raging between
closed-shop and open-shop operators, but it is intolerable that
such a dispute should be allowed to demoralize industry and
create the widespread suffering that a fuel famine in winter
will bring. As in the railroad strike, the public will be the
chief sufferer and it is up to the government to find a way
io avert the strike. If unions and operators are acting with
out the law, their agreements must be made within the law.

Exposition Fallacy
One of the claims made by promoters of the 1925 Portland
exposition is that it will bring a great increase in population,
not only to Portland but to all parts of Oregon.
If it does, it will be unique among expositions, for exposi
tion cities have always increased in population slower than
other cities in the same part of the country in the same
period.
The St. Louis exposition was held in 1904. In the decade
of 1900-1910, St. Louis gained 19.4 percent in population,
while cities without expositions gained as follows: Kansas
City 51.7 percent; Minneapolis 48.7 percent, and St. Paul
S1.7 percent.
The Buffalo exposition was held in 1901. In the decade
following, Buffalo gained 20.2 percent in population, while
the non-exposition cities of Cleveland gained 46.9 percent and
Detroit 63 percent.
The Omaha exposition was held in 1905. In the decade,
Omaha gained 21 percent in population, while Des Moines
gained 39 percent and Denver 59.4 percent, although no
exposition was held in these cities.
Portland's exposition was held in 1905, and Portland
gained in that decade 129.2 percent. Seattle, however,
gained 194 percent and Spokane gained 183.3 percent and
held no exposition.
While Oregon grew after the Portland exposition, because
there was a large influx of people from the east to the coast,
it did not grow nearly as fast as Washington, Idaho or
California and an exposition in 1925 will not make. the state
grow any faster than its sister states without expositions.
The exposition, if financed by taxpayers, as proposed, will
make an already exorbitant taxation so high as to frighten
investors. It may temporarily profit Portland, but not make
a permanent growth and the reaction will make it worse off.
It will cost more than it will produce and make the tax
burden of the people heavier.
The Portland election for the exposition will be held Nov
ember 19, and professional drive managers have been im
ported to "put it over." Yet none of the newspapers have
courage enough to print the facts or enlighten the people
as to what this exposition jazz really means.
