Miss Jeanette Rankin demanded today
that the government take over the com

the company.
"'While the nation needs every man

said. "Men are discharged when they

Hopes For Agreement.

San Francisco, Sept. 19.-Hope that
settlement of the strike which has tied
up shipbuilding in the San Francisco
bay district would be reached before
many days was expressed by represen-
tatives of both sides in the controversy
when they went into session again with
government representatives today.
Conferences which began early yester-
day and continued without intermission
for Is hours, adjourned at 2 a. m. and
were resumed again Hr 1880 q. m. In
addition to the committees of employ
ers and employees Of the big shipyards
Commander J. L. Ackerson, U. S. ~,
Captain A. T. Pillsbury, U. S. n, and
w. 7. Boyce, representing the govern
ment, participated. No announcement
was made as to the progress made in
these conferences, but it was evident
both sides believed solution had been
brought nearer. The government men
are keeping in touch with the bureau
and department chiefs in Washington
by wire and long distance telephone.
1t is believed that no announcement
will be made as to the negotiations un-
til the arrival of Chairman Hurley of
the United States shipping board, at the
end of the week.
Copies of the Mare Island shipyard
wage scale were distributed to the con-
fereeS today, in order that they might
study these wages as a possible basis of
settlement. A few days ago the gov
crnment announced an increase of ten
percent in these wages. 1t is estimated
that the Mare Island scale, if adopted
by the San Francisco shipyards, would
increase the wages of employees approx
mately one dollar day over the rate
paid them when they struck.
Marines are still on guard at the I'm
Jon Iron Works but no more of these
troops have been brought from Mare

LEADERS
PLAN TO WIN WAR
All Lines of Industry Repre-

By George Martin
United Press staff CORRESPONDENT

(Unlted Press stair correspondent
Atlantic City, N. j., Sept. 19.-King
Coal, the five cent loaf, the retail
profiteer and other war subjects close
to the hearts of the people were sched-
uled for discussion by Herbert Hoover,
Walter S. Clifford, Lord Northcliffe
and other experts before America s
business leaders in convention today
with the United States chamber Of
commerce.
The proposition of shippers bulking
their shipments to save freight space
for the government, increased use of
inland waterways and coastwise trans
portation were gone into. The conven-
tion also laid plans to help hurry along

Fuel conservation and better use of
freight cars came up for discussion at
a group meeting under the direction of

seized for vital overseas commerce.
"There is opposition among you to

appear to be "feelers' both for the
benefit of the allies and the German
people. They have been so confused and
in so many cases launched, only to be
denied by the German foreign office
when found unacceptable, that no atten-
tion is now paid them.
Diplomats here who are in intimate
touch with the international situation
say there is positive knowledge that
Germany will move again to end the
war before 1918.
England sees in the recrudeseence of
German peace feelers admission of a
Russian plot that failed, Germany now
hopes to make peace stick before the
Russian army recognized, rehabilitat-
ed and modernized by American aid,
can get into action, making complete the
Gordon of allies about her strongholds,
The German peace discussion is rag
ing unhampered by censorship in the
German press. No doubt was expressed
here that te greater part of te editor
ials and review articles are inspired.
AS observers here read the signs to-
day, Germany now sees herself baked
in Russia. She fomented mutiny in the
ranks of General Brussiloff s soldiers
when they began making alarming in
roads against the Teutonic Lemberg
line. She started what was extensively
advertised as a tremendous land and
sea offensive against Riga and Petro-
grad. She took advantage of General
Korniloff S revolt to press her agents
in te Russian army to redoubled activ-
ity.
Russia survived all these. Where Ger
many ad hoped to frighten Russia into
a separate peace, the Teutonic leaders
probably now see they have stunk the
new democracy into action.

SOUTHERN PACIFIC
DELAYS BRIDGE WORK
That Temporary Structure
Will Not Be Ready for State
Fair Is Certain

The bridge across the Willamette at
Salem will not be completed in time
for the state fair, due largely to the
delays of the Southern Pacific in ship
ping piles to the contractors
A week or so ago it seemed almost
certain that piles would be shipped
over the Southern Pacific from Mary s
river in time to permit the contract
ors to build and plank the west APP
proach. An extra force had been put
on and work was progressing according
to schedule until the railroad failed to
deliver the piles.
One of the delays was that of a
shipment of three flat ear loads of
piles that were expected to arrive last
Saturday. Instead, the cars that should
have been sent to the lumber camp di-
rect, were shunted to the Y at Gerling-
er and remained there two or three
days before being picked up and for
warded to Mary's River And instead
of arriving here Saturday evening,
they will not be ready for the contrac-
tors until tomorrow.
This is but one of the hundreds OF
delays that the contractors have had
to fight against.
There has been a force of 25 men
working on the Polk county side doing
what work that could be done without
the piles. This approach on the west
side is to be part of the new bridge
approach and not temporary like the
east side structure.
Hence, citizens on the west side of
the river may as well make up their
minds that during state fair week, the
only means of crossing the river at
Salem will be that of the ferry.
There are yet about 80 piles to be
driven on the west side available some
time tomorrow. After the driving of
these piles, there is that matter of
planking the approach will of course
take several days.

"There must be no ifs, no butts, or

tary of War Baker yesterday warned
leaders of American business in the war
convention of the United States cham
Der of commerce.
''The waves breaking along this

We are too close to the cradle of lib

otherwise. 1t is message that cannot

Bakers S speech followed an address
by Secretary of the Interior Lane in
which the latter drew scathing indict-
ment of Germany and pledged the I'm

The other speakers, representing the
nation IS business firms, called for unre-

that there was disposition at the out

war program for business to be pune

quoting the newspaper Aftonblad
The American steamer, according to
the Central News dispatch encountered
a submarine engaged in sinking an

where off the Shetlands. The Amer

smashed the periscope of the U-boat.
At this juncture another submarine

METAL TRADES COUNCIL
SUPPORTS SEATTLE STRIKERS

Seattle, Wash, Sept. 19.-The posi-
tion of five thousand carpenters, join
crs and helpers and $4,000 timber work
ors and shingle weavers striking in the
northwest to enforce an eight hour day
in the lumber industry, was strength
eEed today following vote last night
of the Metal Trades Council announc-
ing support of their efforts.
The council voted to refuse to handle
lumber cut in mills operating 10 hours
day and to lend ali possible moral
and financial support to the strikes.
The metal trades workers voted not
to call sympathetic strike in steel
shipyards, but according to leaders to-
day, such a strike will result if they
are asked to work with 10-hour mill
lumber.
The council has a membership of 10
unions including about $4,000 men. Most
of the wooden shipyards have assumed
an attitude of watchful waiting, show
ing no disposition to fight the strike
but declaring it impossible for them
to break contracts with 10 hour mills
and make new contracts with eight
hour plants.
-Four shipyards already have signed
the agreement and union officials hope
to sign others within a few hours.
United States Commissioner of I'm
&igration, Henry M. White, who is the
federal mediator here, is at work on
plan to guarantee eight hour lumber to
shipyards and expects to open negotia-
tions with the yard owners within few
days.
White takes te stand that the gov
eminent has gone ON record in support
of the eight hour day and that there
fore, the only settlement of te strike
he can effect is in favor of the strik-
ers.
