GOVERNOR WEST
DRAWS BIG CROWD
Scores the Politicians and the
OregOnian Is ParbOiIed
and Roasted

Politics and politicians have seldom
been subjected to worse scoring than
was administered by Governor West in
his address to the workingmen of Port.
land yesterday.
The armory in which he spoke was
crowded, there being standing room only
long before he begun to speak.
That the OregOnian received $1,000 a
year hush money during the last four
years of State Printer Leeds administra
tion merely to keep its hanls off the
printing steal was one of the startling
statements made.
Pat Macarthur, candidate from Multi.
nOmah county for congress was openly
charged with erasng from an act of
the legislature clause repeating the
parole system after the act had passed
both houses.
The only good the governor ever
found in booze was said to have been
the fact that it Kept Gus Moser helpless
about half the time and thus saved the
state from that much Of his activities.
The governor told how two well.known
women of Portland called to see Moscr
on business concerning the industrial
school for girls and Moser was so full
as 10 be incoherent and unfit for his
duties.
These with Dan Malarkey, DR.. Per.
kins, Abbott and others were do.
nounced as an Inscriptions gang who,
with the help of the Oregonian con.
stitutcd the corrupt political machine

so successfully carried through the
primaries
Prominently in the same program is
the plan to return to the old system of
contracting the labor of the convicts tol
private concerns, thus again bringing
their labor in direct competition with
free labor at starvation wages and
throwing their products on the market
in competition with the products of
legitimate private industry.
The governor reviewed in detail the
progress ami working of the prison
system of the present, showing how all

Referring to an editorial in the Ore
gonian to the effect that the unem.

militia and made to squeeze the water
out of the mud, the governor said the
writer ought to be relegated to the
hottest corner of the internal regions

continued cheers and applause from the
audience. The speaker said that as

he would throw some light on it if the

 All the indicted men are local produce dealers or commission merchants No nationally known firm was indicted.
 At the department of justice 1t vas said government agents working in many states for evidence of price fixing were expected to make reports soon which of f;cials hoped would be the basis of other indictments Attorney General Gregory said: Under conditions now existing throughout the world, capitalization of misfortune and oppression of our people by the arbitrary increase of the prices of foodstuffs are so peculiarly reprehen- sible that whenever convictions can be obtained, the government will insist upon sentences of imprisonment-n fine or no civil remedy will be deemed adequate.
 To Ask Indictments
 United States attorneys are being in- structed promptly to ask for indictments whenever the facts will permit. to push these to early trial, and, upon convic- tions to insist upon prison sentences.
 Tt must, of course, be remembered that, without the District of Columbia, only those agreements and combinations which affect directly interstate or foreign commerce can be reached. As to other matters, state statutes must be relied upon"
 The men indicted here today are charged with having fixed prices every day by "ballots,' suggestions or verbal agree ment and to have circulated price lists which completely eliminated competi- tive market for food That is alleged to be an unlawful restrain of trade prohibit ed by the sherman antitrust law between the states and in federal districts. The penalty on conviction is a years impris- onment or $5000 fine or both.
