WASHINGTON, D. C July 30
Whether so Intended er not. Presi
dent Roosevelt's order lor an Investl
(atlon of the' ocean mall subsidies by
the postofflce department has a rela
tion to the San Francisco strike situ
ation. Its Issuance at a time when
the president was fully cognizant of
the controversy between the ship
owners and their employes may have
significance. At any rate. It serves to
call attention, Just at this moment,
to the disclosures regarding the malt
subsidies by the senate committee,
of which Senator Black of Alabama
was chairman.
In general, that investigation
allowed that the subsidies paid In the
guise of pay for carrying the mall
enabled the ship owners, In many
cases, to reap enormous profits for
themselves while the government held
the bag. Earnings from ships bought
from the government on time were
distributed In large salaries and bo
nuses to officers, in substantial divi
dends to stockholders, while obliga
tions to the government remained un
paid. In some cases, even the Inter
est was not met. According to much
of the testimony. It appeared that
the government was regarded simply
as a good thing and that Its inter'
eats need never be considered. Vart
ous accounts were faked ao that ex
pends were often charged to the
government which properly should
have been borne by the companies
One of the companies which bene
fited most from the government mall
carrying endowment waa the Dollar
line, now Involved with other lines
In the strike on the Pacific coast. A
striking Instance of how government
aid enabled those controlling the Dol
lar line to make enormous profits
we brought out in the testimony be
fore the committee. Five men, In
eluding the two Dollar brothers, each
put 9100 In a pool, which was so ma
nipulated as to bring In several mil
lions. The president s order to iook
Into these ocean mHll contracts
brings such tilings as this concern
ing the seamsliip companies to no
tice and they will probably not be
overlooked by the strikers In making
tip their case.
' One of the members of congress to
lincer long in Washington after the
close of the session was Mrs. Isabella
Orecnway. lone representative from
Arlrona and widow of the late Gen
eral John C. Oreenway. And there is
no thoupht of minimizing that word
"lone," for, in It one member of the
house, Arizona has more effective
representation than many states en
titled to a dozen members. Although
serving her first term. Mrs. Oreenway
has already acquired Influence and a
reputation for getting things across
that .sualiy do not come till after
many years of service, and often not
then, -
Thy go to her with their troubles,
they confide to her their secrets, and,
above all. they tell her about them
selves and how wonderful they are.
She listens sympathetically and ap
preciatively and they think she is
niarvelous. They would go the limit
for her and. when they are unable
to get something dne. they appeal
to her and she reciprocates by going
to the bat for them.
Mrs. Oreenway's Infleunce has ex
tended Itself even to the senate and.
when she has wandered over there to
watch proceedings, she has si ways
been eagerly sought out by members
of that body. One some of these occa
sions she has not neglected to do
some discreet lobbying for measures
In which she waa Interested. Toward
the close of the session some of her
colleagues In the house came to her
In despair about a bill carrying an
appropriation which seemed to have
not a ghost of a chance to get
through. She obliged and, going
strstght to Speaker Ralney, gained
his consent to let me bill get past
the barrier.
If Mrs. Oreenway la ts solid with
her constituents as she Is with her
rnllrsgues In congress, she has noth
ing to fear from the election, and
that may be why she was not In a
big hurry to get Into the campaign
as most of the others were.
According to reports ahlch are com

praising farm properties, which was

Strikers Fight Back As Of
ficers Move to Enable
Activities Along Water
front in Puget Sound City
SEATTLE, July 30. ( AP ) Mayor
Char lea L. Smith's 300 strike police,
with floods of tear gas, cracking clubs
and charging horses, routed 2000
striking longshore pickets from the
waterfront today In a spectacular bat
tle. Hundreds were hurt, but none
believed seriously.
Strikers fought back, hurling rocks,
picking up gas canisters before they
could explode, and throwing them
back at police. Virtually every man
of the 2300 combatants waa affected
to some extent by the gas.
Gas Barrage Laid.
Officers, led by Mayor Charles L.
Sml'.h, stood on the Garfield street
v Induct, over the picket lines, and
laid down a blistering barrage of
white tear and nausea gases.
Both police and strikers were affect
ed by gas, as none used masks, al
though strikers had been resorting to
handkerchiefs and sponges tied over
their noses.
The popping of tear gas, waving
billows of fumes, and figures of men
sprawled across the docks where the
gas reached them, gave the Impression
Of a serious battle, but It was not be
lieved by police that any bullets were
fired. Strikers .were swept back so
quickly that few had opportunity to
toss rocks.
Two ambulances started hauling
away the injured shortly after the
police attack started at 7 a. m.
Mayor In Charge.
Mayor Smith took personal charge
of the officers at midnight, with the
unexplained resignation of Chief of
Police O. P. Howard.
Neither police nor strike officials
could say exactly how many pickets
were Involved, as many had crouched
under the viaduct, as rain and clouds
rolled over Elliott bay.
Pier 40 and pier 41 are centers of
non-union loading operations, and
Wednesday were the scene of a dan
gerous riot when '.500 pickets swarmed

Governor Meier's Action
In Calling Out Soldiers
Opinion In Medford generally
aproved the action of Governor
Meier In calling out the., national
guard.
Frank h. TouVelle, ore hard is t,
said: "I approve of the action of
the governor. He undoubtedly has
been well advised In his course,
and Is doing what he regards as
best for the greatest number of
people."
B. E. Harder, banker: "1 don't
want the troops called out until
It Is necessary, but I want them
handy if that time comes. Sixty
days Is long enough for the Port
of Portland to be tied up while
the business and commerce of the
state slowly strangles."
E. E. Kelly, attorney: "This Is
the first sign of fortitude the gov
ernor has shown. It's about time,
but better late than never."
W. A. Oates, merchant: "The
commerce of the state should be
kept open, and the farm crops
allowed freedom of movement.
The labor dispute has lasted too
long already."
W. E. Morris, farmer: '"The
farmer has been crimped long
enough."
Klamath Falls, sn Inland city
whoee trade has been widely affected
by strike conditions, was divided
upon the governor's action.
Willis E. Mahoney, mayor and for
mer candidate for governor, declared
Governor Meier's order "unfortunate
and unwarranted at this time."
Lloyd L. Low, sheriff who effect
ively supervised the law and order
end of Klamath Fails' lumber strike
a year ago, believed that If the strike
wre out of control and county and
city govern metna unable to hsndle
the situation or supply enough offi

"I shall no longsr defer taking such
action as will restore and preserve
law and order In this state." This
was the declaration of Governor Jul

Ben Osborne, executive secretary of
the Central Labor Council, said; "It's
a hell of a governor we have." Ken

States Steamship company, sstd "The
action of the governor is most fair.'
Amadee M. Smith, chairman of the
board of directors, Portland cham
ber of commerce, said: "Governor
Meier Is to be commended for mobil
izing the national guard. Ore
gon Is tn line for tremendous losses
unless the commerce of the port Is
opened at this time."
United States Senator Wagner of
New York, here as a labor conciliator,
said: "I regret that the governor
felt it necessary to call out the state
militia at this time, particularly since
the labor strategy committee had as
sured today there would be no gen
eral strike pending efforts at an ad
justment of the longshoremen's dis
pute In Ran Francisco."
Mayor Carson of Portland said:
"All the police we have avallab'3 wih

police and sheriff's deputies today
provided a waterfront guard for the
loading of millions of feet of railroad
ties for China.
The loading of the steamer San
Julian was the first real attempt t
break the harbor strike that has tied
up commerce here for 73 daya.
About 00 police officers guarded she
dock, near the city center, and moved
a crowd of about 150 maritime union
strike pickets a block and a half from
the piers.
The San Julian was scheduled to
take upwards of 6,000,000 feet of ties,
and reached the harbor July 9 from

No Disorder.
There was no disorder as the polios
moved to the wharves and ordered

other. Both of 'em ought to I'v run
out and lea to It to men that know
and feel that there Is such a thing
ss a fair anion end a fair employer.
The whole thing will prore bene
flclat, for It will prore that no grn
eral strike can win. reople might bs
with you. but when It begins to cost
ing 'em their food and their Incon
yenlenee. they are going to quit you.
Sometimes we think ws don't know
whst kind of government ws got.
but It's slnayt bigger than any group
of people.
