CANNERY RAZED
BY BENICIA FIRE
Benicia, Cal., Nov. 2. (Pi
Fanned by a brisk wind, the
biggest fire in the life of this
historic old town raged for five
hours before it was checked
early today after it had de
stroyed a cannery, two ware
houses and several old buildings
and wharves along the water
front. Fire Chief William Davena
estimated the damage at $200.
000. Cause of the blaze was un
known. The fire started in a ware
house and spread quickly to the
Benicia Canning company plant.
The flames destroyed the
three-acre cannery building, two
warehouses of the American
Can company, and then raged
on a half-mile front along the
waterfront, burning two S30.000
fishing boats to the waterline.
W. U. MUST REFUND
EMPLOYES' DUES
Washington, Nov. 2. Iff)
The Western Union Telegraph
company has been ordered by
the national labor relations
board to disestablish its associa
tion of Western Union Employes
us a bargaining agency and re
imburse employes for dues de-
ducted from pay envelopes since 1
July 5, 1935.
The board order, issued last
night, was based on a finding
the 20-year old association was
"supported and dominated" by
the company.
The board's decision did not
disclose the amount of due to be i
repaid but Joseph P. Selly, vice
president of the American Com
munications association (CIO),
said in New York that it would
be more than $500,000." The
case was filed by the A.C.A.

DENIAL AD RULES
HELD ARBITRARY
Portland. Nov. 2. (Cir
cuit Judge James Crawford said
after a hearing yesterday that
some of the rules governing ad
vertising by dentists were arbi
trary and unreasonable and that
he would issue a temporary re
straining order against their en
forcement. He said the state board of
dental examiners had authority
to promulgate rules and regu
lations but that some of the re
cent ones were beyond its au
thority. A temporary Injunction
against the rules was asked by
Dr. Harry Semler of Portland-
Germany's annexation of Polish territory, which returned
to the Reich Pomorie, Poinan and Silesia left unexplained the
fate of some 50.000 square miles which have been occupied up
to the Soviet frontier. Area shaded by broken lines on the
above map indicated the territory annexed, and represents a
return to Germany of the area taken from her by the Versailles
treaty. Heavy line through Poland is the western frontier of
Soviet Russia.

HAPPY RELIEF

Many of those gnawing, nagging, painful
back rich m people blame on colde or strums itra
often caused by tired kidney ind may be
relieved when treated in the right way.
The kidneys are Nature's chief way of taking
fireee acid and poisonous wate out of the
lood. They help moat people paae about 3 pint

If the 15 miles nf kidney tubee and filters
don't work well, poisonous waste matter itaya

backaches, rheumatics pains, loss of pep and
nergy, getting up nights, swelling, puffinese

formation from farmers, can-
ners and others affected by the
new deal legislation.
OF COURSE, none of the meas
ures put forward by the
house Republicans will be en
acted (the Democratic majority
will see to that), but the pro
posals will furnish campaign ma
terial in the primaries next year
and, presumably, will be reflect
ed in the platform of the Re
publican national convention.
Republicans are convinced
that they have some good talk
ing points, such as opposition to
trade agreements, as these
treaties have, in many instances,
sacrificed agriculture to aid for
eign competitors.
FORECAST of how the Northwest
delegation In the house will vote
on the do-called neutrality btlt:
Washington state, six votes for the
bill; Oregon, one vote for and two
against. The votes will be cast on
party lines.
President Roosevelt does not like
the neutrality bill entirely; many
concessions had to be made from
time to time to eliminate opposi
tion, but the president was most
anxious to have the mandatory em
bargo repealed, and this he was
granted. Original Idea was to repeal
the embargo and then authorize the
president to use his Judgment In
dealing with the European situation.
This was the purport of the presi
dent's personally delivered message
to congress when he asked for legis
lation and suggested the congress
then return home. As a sop to sen
ators who lack confidence In the
president when acting "on his own"
with the war problems, Mr. Roose
velt announced that he wanted Ma
jority Leader Barkley and Minority
Leader McNary to remain in order
to consult with them. When the
president was leaving the capltol Mc
Nary said he wanted to go home
Replied Mr. Roosevelt, stick around
and I'll take you fishing, or words
to that effect.
A WESTERN news editor questions
a statement In this space that
there was deliberate suppression of
arguments of important senators op
posing embargo repeal and Inquires:
"Who suppressed the news When did
all the United States papers get to
gether and agree to run an argument
with only one or two paragraphs?"
There was no Intention to Indict
the press as a whole, but there were
palpable examples In this neck of
the woods, the papers congressmen
see most frequently. Press services,
naturally, endeavor to send out an
Impartial report but there are papers
covering congress with their own
men who discard the reports of the
services.
IN OLD AGE AID
Portland, Nov. 2 Iff) Old-
age assistance payments will be
held at present levels the rest
of the biennium, the state pub
lic welfare commission an
nounced yesterday.
The commission explained
"old age assistance expenditures
are absorbing a disproportionate
share of the public welfare
funds."
No hardships will result from
emergency petitions. Chairman
J. H. Luihn said, because new
claims will be handled on an
emergency basis from the gen
eral assistance funds.
