WASHINGTON, July 12.-Bis busi
ness, struck by President Wilson,
patriotism and profits" pronuncia
mento; countered today with the pies
Of high cost OF labor. Some of these
men are on committees Of the council
Of national defense.
President Wilson lashed those who
take blood money out OF the war and
castigated those who plead for un
usual profit margins to stimulate
production.
He pointed out ship owners Of the
nation, who. he said, are doing their
utmost through exorbitant rates, to
make success against Germany almost
a failure
To all OF which big business today
complained that labor is getting such
a tremendous share OF money nova
days that more profits are required
to meet that drain as well as others
The big business folk Immediately
declared that maximum price for
labor must be set up II the price OF
other commodities is to be arbitrarily
-hxed as President Wilson warned they
would BE- The business men have the
backing of some members Of congress
In this.
The plea Is that fierce bidding for
labor in certain industries has sent
wages "clear out OF sight" For in
stance, the ship builders protest that
inter-yard competition is sky-rocket-
ing the cost Of ship workings, while
contractors declare attractive wages
on army cantonment camp work are
drawing away men from other lines.
Mine operators, too. are complaining
Of the drain on their men because of
the lure of higher wages in other
lines.
President Wilson'S straight from
the shoulder appeal for business sacri-
fees is likely to bring to reorganiza-
tion of the defense council advisory
committee. "Big business" members
of the committee favor price agree
ments insuring enough profits to
stimulate" the highest production,
victory at any cost" President Will
son holds that there need be no ar
titicial stimulation to make sacrifices,
neither loss of life nor ac-
tual comforts.
Other government departments, not
ably the navy department, FAVOR
prices based upon the cost plus per-
centage basis.
Wilson's pronunciamento probably
will tend to- strengthen the govern
ment's demand upon steel men that
they radically clip their prices.
Meantime some congressman are
stirring against the advisory commits
sion of the council Of national defense
on the theory that some of It's big busi-
ness members are reaping or will reap
a big profit from war work over which
they themselves have the contract let
ting privilege. The federal trade COM
mission is soon to report recommends
ton on fair prices on coal, OIL and
steel.
Still other remedial measures are:
War department efforts to limit
wages on cantonments to the prevail
ng labor standard. while the contrac>
.ors themselves are trying to fix rates;

Memorial Service.

The memorial services at the arm
ory on the afternoon of May 80 were
very fine. The advertised speaker
for the day failed to be able to get
here and Rev. Brett of the Congrega-
tional church filled his place in a
very satisfactory manner. Several
national hymns were sung, followed
by ladies' quartet, consisting Of
Mesdames R. G. Porter, Lavina How
ard, E. D. Jennings and Lula How
ard, after which prayer by Rev.
Douglass was rendered.
Mr.. Brett in his speech paid high
tribute to Abraham Lincoln, repeat
ing a story he had read Of Lincoln's
early life that impressed him very
much. Lincoln was standing by when
a beautiful young mulatto girl was
being sold into slavery, and he said;
"If ever have a chance to hit this
slavery business l will hit it hard"
And he did. Mr.. Brett said that wars
in this country had each different
time been to some purpose, and that
the present war was for the purpose
of making the whole world free. We
have in the past accomplished greater
things than we knew, and it will be
so again.

las county will have been completed,
and as soon as the office work is
finished the land will be ready to be
thrown open to entry.
Indications seem to lead to the
belief that the lands will be opened
Immediately after their classification,
and that September may see a rush of
homesteaders to this community.
Whether or not this will be done,
however, is net certain, and 1t may be
possible that the action will be de-
layed until after the international
crisis has been settled.
The local land office is receiving
many communications, each day. in
regard to the grant lands. and in
formation is being sent to interested
citizens. 1t is evident that as soon
as the lands arS thrown open to entry
there will be a great rush of people
to southern Oregon. The grant con-
tains some of the finest agricultural,
timber and mineral land to be found
anywhere and is being eagerly sought
for by those who desire property Of
this nature.

Gus Lovegren, chief cruiser for the

the commissioner will open them for

is believed by some that he will do
so. 1t may be possible, however, that
he will not decide to take this action
until later.
At the present time there are a

West Fork, two at Glendale, four at
