' ' Kugene will be the only city in Oregon, outside of l'ortland, to en tertain the parry of 75 eastern re tail lumber dealers, touring the coast, it was announced last night at the meeting of the Lane County Chap ter of JToo Hoo Lumberman's club. The visitors will be here February 28. A committee to plan the program of entertainment for the lumbermen will be named. The proposal includes entertainment at golf, visits to nearby sawmills, trips to the McKcnzie fisn hatchery and scenic spots in the county-. If the party stays over night a banquet will be given. R. L. King, general superintendent of the Tortland division, Southern Pacific railway, spoke on the pros pects of installing a lumber scale, either at Springfield or in Eugene. James Mulchay. assistant traffic manager, spoke on the Gooding bill before congress. settlement, even though every paper in my possession has been examined by a committee of the council, ap proved end the correctness certified, to by signature of the committee members, and even though consider able compromise has been offered. Why has it been held up? 1st. Itev. Skilhred, with whom I made separate agreement as my co worker, instead of sending a notice, as he promised me tbe 9th of July, to those whose notes were due the 1st of July, 1924, and ask them to settle with me so that we might get our commission, he seut a card of tbe same date to the same persons asking tbem to make settlement with Lloyd Martin. Isn't that double crossing ? . 2nd. The next day he threatened to make it bard for me to obtain settlement of the commission, and he baa been able to make his threat good so far. Can such a threat proceed from an honest heart filled with the love of God? 8rd. At a "board" meeting he at tempted to oust me from the organ ization wbon I protested against di verting the incoming money from the work into other channels than first to pay the commission. 4th. The 25th of September I was in writing notified by him that a council meeting waa to be held 7:30 p. m. next day to consider my "col lection documents." Mrs. Hammer ; and I went but were told to go out of the council meeting in the church. : A e went out. 5th. In response to the following pleading in writing: "Don't you rea lize the disgrace and the harm at present and for the future to per sons, organizations and work, if these matters are not settled without fur ther delay," to which he answered with grave accusations. A number of other efforts were made to settle, but without avail. To the Trinity Lutheran congrega tion I wish to say that you according to your constitution retain the high est power and authority and that the .council is accountable to you for its actions. Since that is bo, I ask you respectfully to direct the council to settle at once for the following reas ons; v -' 1st According to invitations, promises,- . agreement, production, heavy expenses for myself and Bev. Skilbred, loss ..of time and money, working,, waiting, pleading, praying j for a peaceful, settlement since in July, 1924. I surely ought to be en- titled to a peaceful and honest settle-I ment at once without any further) trouble. j 2nd. We have surely suffered j enough on account of this - awful trouble in various wnj-B, even my wife from the time she met Rev. Skilbred the 31st July on the streets of Eugene and being told by him that I was in "danger" with the whole coun cil against me and that it would be unpleasant for us to live here any longer, as though it would be safest for us to move out right away. She became frightened, downhearted and overpowered by sorrow, 'so that rent at night was turned into anguish. The doctor asked mc, has she had sor row? . 3rd. Since tbe ' commission is to be tnken out of the fundsi I obtained, it is not one cent out of tho con gregation's -treasury to have it set tled. If the trouble is kept up in one form or another, no one enn an ticipate whnt it may lend it in various ways.'. k 4th. According to your constitu tion you have made the word of God the rule -of life ' The word of God condemns withholding rewards for work agreed upon and urges pay ment without delay, thus: "In this day tbous shnlt give him his hire, neither shalt the sun go down upon it, lest he cry against thee unto Je hovah, and it be sin unto thee." "The hire . . . which is of you kept back by fraud crieth out," etc. 5th. Ilnsn't it caused stir and shame and disgrace enough among us. Why should it be continued? I have been pledging for months to turn over tlie papers upon settlement of the commission and I hope I will not be pleading in vain with you. A. J. UAMMUU. Mr. Hammer Makes Statement on His Suit as Entered To the Editor1 Since a recent not Ice wus printed in the public press ot this city about a lawsuit commenc ed hy "The Chnrity Board of the Lutheran Brotherhood" to obtnin cash and notes in my possession claimed to he held illegnlly. and since the facts are not generally known, friends of mine hnvo advised mo to publish a statement. The mil of July. 1023, Rev. Skil bred invited me thus: "We have mountain of work for yon. The soon er jou come the better it is. I have so much work stored up for you. Now be kind enough to come as soon Toil un,ililv can mid heln me. Von mve the best opportunity in the LEGION POST TO SPRINGFIELD, Ore., Jan. 17. (Special). rians for a big smoker to be given orrthe evenng of January 30, Friday, with the business men of Springfield as guests, were lnid last night at a meeting of the Springfield post of the American legion in the Woodman of the World hall. The campaign for membership was also begun, when the stx memoers of the 48-s challenged the other 70 mem bers of the legion. The losers will servo the winners with a dinner at the close of tho drive. Tho jackpot, which now amounts to $14 or more, was not claimed, since i the owner of the lucky seventh name j drawn was not present. It will remain an inducement for the presence of all members next time. i Four new members were initiated into the Ladies' auxiliary of the le iAn nost: Mrs. Hoy Holveraon, Mrs. II. Klmer Mnxey, Mrs. Trubert Ilen- world to obtain a position now as ! dersoo and Mrs. I. W. McKinnon you are rolled to." etc. This sounded rood and I decided to move to Eu rme with my family, nnd we came here the '.'nth of August, 1023. Since it took some time before any work was arranged, I indicnted a couple of times to Itev. Skilbred that I would look for some other en fakement to .which he answered, "No, !"u ore to work for the Old People's Home for which you are to be man er." Afterwards I received the following authorization, not from the "I'hnritv Board," who sues, but from h Council of, the Trinity Lutheran church of Eugene.
