MAGNITUDE OF RELIEF WORK

The sinking of the Norwegian steamer Storstad loaded
with 5000 tons of for the Begans the way from
the Argentine brings out statement from Mr. Hoover
who has charge Of the Belgian relief work that throws
much light that project and gives definite idea of
the prodigous work performed Just before sailing for
France yesterday to look after and make the changes
necessary in handling the relief work since Germany has
asked that other than Americans have charge Of the
distribution of the supplies he made statement of the
situation According to this statement there are now on
the sixteen ships loaded with provisions for the
Begians and six will start this week. Out of above
five hundred ships carrying food Belgium fifteen have
been lost The StOrstad sailing from the Argentine did
not have safe conduct from Germany but all relief
ships leaving American ports have such safe conduct
from the Swiss minister acting for the German govern
ment guaranteeing the Belgian Relief flag Hoover
further stated that the work would not be stopped be-

that may be sunk long the destruction does not be-

dependent for their very lives the arrival of these
ships before md-Apr 1t may be possible these ten mil
lion non-combatants will be sentenced to starve by Ger
manys action and this in spite of the fact that she is
responsible for taking of them 1t would naturally
be thought that she would be the last to interfere with
any aid to these unforunaes since it would be her duty
to at least keep them from starvation Any help given
them of that much benefit to her. and to cut them off
from supplies which generous people willing to send
them is the very acme of cruelty, the refinement of
wckedness.

LABoRs PATRIOTIC STAND

Organized labor has declared for universal military
training in statement brmmng with patriotism, and
vocng the sentiments of the bone and snew of the
try 1t frankly states that Labor dstruss militarism
but recognizes the necessity Of the country defending
itself against injustice and invasion. It's concluding
paragraphs well worth studying and remembering by
every American and for this reprint them
here. The pamphlet concludes:
"We the officers of the National and International
Trade Unions of America, in national conference
sembed in the capital of nation hereby pledge
selves peace in war; in stress in storm, to stand
unreservedy by the standards Of liberty and the safety
and preservation of the institutions and ideals of the
republic
"In this solemn hour of nations life, it is
est hope that republic may be safeguarded in its I'M
swervng desire for peace that people may be spared
the horrors and the burdens of war; that they may have
the opportunity to cultivate and develop the arts of peace
human brotherhood and higher civilization"
"But despite all endeavors and hopes, should our
country be drawn into the maestrom Of the European
conflict we with these ideals Of liberty and justice de-
clared herein the indispensable basis for national
policies offer services to our country and in every
field Of activity to defend safeguard and preserve the
republic of the United States of America against its
enemies whomsoever they may be, and we call upon our
fellow workers and fellow citizens in the holy Of
Labor Justice Freedom and Humanity to devotedly and
patrioticaly give life service"
On the same day this same body of men notified the
president that while it possible they might strike
thew would not do so in the event Of war; and that such
strike occurred and afterWard they would IN
stanty call the strike off and stand by the country IN
every way Their statement in this connection was the
brotherhoods will not climb to victory on the nations

PROPOSED LAW DANGEROUS

Portland is circulating petitions for initiating an anti
pcketing law, called Under its provisions given in
the Oregonan it looks like dangerous law. Strictly
construed it would prevent persons, who talking
prices at certain store agreed not to purchase anything
at that store so long prices not reduced liable
to punishment Under its provisions two market gard
ners who did not think they being treated fairly by
some dealer and who after comparing notes said they
would no longer sell to that person would be liable to
punishment Further than this two persons partners in
business, who agreed to have dealings with any firm
could be prosecuted under this proposed law Pcketng
is foolish practice, and accompshes nothing other than
perhaps to annoyance and becomes nuisance
but that had better be borne than to undertake to
that citizen two of them may not refuse to patonize
store they do not desire to do If is the law that
two persons cannot agree not to patronze certain store
then by the rule of sc couverso they be compelled to
patronze that store
Further under strict construction of the proposed
law two partners could not agree to discharge employee
thereby refusing ito have dealings with him." In fact
the proposed law if it becomes real will rise up to cause
whole Pandoras box full of trouble
Another feature is that it would make strikes unlaw
full while leaving the lockout in full force 1t would pre-
vent two agreeing to quit, but leave it in the
power of the individual employer to lockout hun

Market Fluciuatilg
But Changes Light

New York, March IA The New
York Evening Sun financial review to-
day said:
The stock market was the prev of
conflicting influences To-day and the
course of prices accordingly reflected
neither animation nor initiative. There
was some short selling following the
news of the Algonquin sinking, but the
movement was restricted.
Short selling was further restricted
by considerations directly associated
with the railroad situation.
Thus trading was practically at a
standstill. Business in the first three
hours was scarcely heavier than in the
first hour of yesterday. Idle fluctua-
tions were the rule throughout the fore
noon session, but by midday net
changes were slight. Specialties like
United States Industrial Alcohol. In
ternational Paper and others were
strong
The general list was disposed to re-
cede slightly in the late trading, but
the movement was so gradual as to be
quite void of significance The com
modities markets were unsettled.

The lawyers are having nice little problem over an
Indian at Spokane who having been convicted of murder
by federal jury and sentenced to be hanged by federal
Judge has been given respite because the government
find place to hang him. Under the laws of the
state Of Washington capital punishment is abolished;
hence it is unlawful to hang anyone in the state The
lawyers representing the government suggested that he
be hanged top Of the federal building in Spokane hold
ing that that owned by the general government,
it was mot in the state of Washington" The Indians
attorneys however insisted the building located in
the state and seemed have the best of that statement
This being true they insisted the execution could take
place the roof Of the federal building unless was
moved into Idaho. On top of it all the department
fused to allow the execution to take place the building
and the president had to take day off to respite him
The question is not settled yet in fact only begun but
it is of those where the party in interest the
Indian, will not grumbe at the laws delays.

One Of the most important things before the people

elapsed, and large numbers OF people are being neon

ferng from loss of trade that normally belongs to Salem
Worst of all the operation of the ferries when they
finally start will only partially relieve the situation since
the toll charged will be sufficient to keep many from
crossing the river in order trade here What needed

highway in the state with the heaviest traffic passing
