RE|CHSTAG MAJORITY
Socialists and Conservatives Two
Elements Which Appear to
Be Holding Back.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
COPENHAGEN, November s-The
German emperor in a rescript to DR..
Michaelis. the retiring chancellor. ex-
presses desire to employ him further
in the imperial service.
1t is understood that DR.. Michaelis
will take over another high imperial
office, for which his qualifications are
admitted generally.
Berlin correspondents report that
Count Won Hertling has succeeded in
establishing satisfactory working ar
rangements with all parties except the
socialists and the conservatives. Even
the socialists. It is said, although not
abandoning their attitude Of reserve,
can be counted upon to make no diff
culties for the new government unless
unforeseen conditions develop.
This virtually amounts to a contin-
uance Of the existing reichstag bloc
with the active support Of the national
liberals. In the reichstag the conser-
vatives alone maintain an adverse at
titude toward the incoming chancellor.
It Is not known here whether Fried
rich Won Payer has yet been appointed
vice chancellor or Herr Friedberg,
leader of the national liberal party, be-
Ing given the post Of vice president of
the Prussian ministry, although Berlin
probably is fully informed Of the de-
cfsion In their cases.

According to the chancel1or's organ.
the Germania. the reichstag will be
convoked in mid-November especially
to listen to the declarations Of the new
head of the government. An inter-
pellation will be tho occasion for tho

Secretary Of Labor Wilson
Worn Out From OveyWork
and Almost Sick

The Federal board of Mediation hay.
ing concluded its labors in Arizona and
California is now in Oregon. The pri-
vate car of Secretary Wilson and
party was idetracked here from the
carly morning train, the board desir-
ing to meet and pay its respects to the
governor.
Secretary Wilson was feeling worn
out from over work and was practical

and Max Loewenthal, assistant secre.

Mr. Walker and Mr.. Marsh were not
with the party but will join it at Port
land. Col. Spangler gave the press BOYS
an interview, but could not outline the
work the board expected to do in Port.

stop here was for the purpose of say.

from him such pointers as to the situa.

give them. At II o'clock delegation

they took in the city,"
Col. Spangler said the board would
take up such matters as pertained TO
sh1pbuilding and labor troubles gener.
ally, and especially those that in anv
way 1nterferred with the war measures
of the country. The labor troubles at
the shipyards will be the main feature
OF their work in Portland and since
their success in settling troubles in
other places the members of the board
were confident they could straighten
out all labor tangles at Portland and
on the Sound. Col. Spangler stated a
special investigation of the trouble in
the logging camps especially in those
engaged in handling spruce would be
made. He expressed satisfaction when
told Salem had no industrial troubles
save the telephone strike which the
board thought its work in San Fran.
cisco had brought to a favorable con-
clusion, and the result of which they
first learned here this morning, it be-
ing the vote to return to work which
carried by large majority.
Mr.. Frankfurter, who at one time
was an attorney for the state in some
questions before the federal supreme
court regarding the 10 hour law and
who was associated with Attorney
General Brown in presenting the State IS
case to it, took advantage of the op-
portunity to renew the acquaintance
and called on the attorney general
when the interview with the governor
was over:
The suggestions, if any, made by the
governor to the board it was impossible
to learn. The party left for Portland
on the 3:46 Southern Pacific train.

German Insurance
Companies Liquidated

Washington, Nov. 26.--All Teuton in

McAdoo. The life insurance companies
are confined to continuing existing con
tracts and financial transactions of the
liquidated concerns are placed under

The action was to blow at German
espionage in this country. For months
it has been suspected the enemy was
obtaining information regarding muni-
ton factories through Teuton insur-
ance inspectors. The secretary's ruling
is believed TO have been made only up
on such evidence by United States
secret officers.
In announcing the decision, Seere-
tary McAdoo said he was convinced the

Board Of Directors
of City Library

With a good attendance of the mem
bers an interesting and important meet
ing of the board of directors of the
Icity library was held Friday evening
and in addition to the election of off
GERS matters of vital Importance to the
library came up for discussion.
Mrs. Louis Lachmund was elected
president of the board for the ensuing
Iyear. DR.. H. H. Olinger, vice president
and w, II. Burghardt, Jr., was re-elect.
led secretary. An expression of appreci.
alton was rendered Mrs. Rollin K
Page, The retiring president for her
Iuntlrlng efforts and the excellent work
accomplished in promoting the eff
cheney of the city library.
After careful consideration of the
budget for 1918 the necessity for addi-
tlonal funds was deemed imperative.
With the growth and development of
the library and the increased demands
from various sources, the high cost of
materials, books, postage, and repairs
for the building it is found absolutely
necessary to have an increase over the
allowance fer last year to carry on
the educational work of the library.
The function of the library now is
to cooperate with government in the
dissemination of knowledge on food
production and conservation. Already
the libraries have adopted the slogan
81 No new fiction until after the war. -
The food administration contends that
thre is no agency through which the
householder can be reached so direct.
ly. so completely and so effectively as
through the librarian.
A glimpse at the report of the libra
rian, Miss Case. shows that there is no
institution so intimately, so universal
ly and so constantly connected with
the life of the people of Salem as the
city library. The report shows there are
6I2S patrons of the library at present
time, and an average circulation of
over 1000 books a month. The library
contains approximately $4,000 books.
and while this number is necessarily
all the time it must not be
overlooked that the constant wear and
tear and destruction of books is CON
siderable, amounting to 500 volumes a
year. The life of a popular book is
very limited. During the past year
$4,000 books circulated in the $500
homes of the city or an average of 2l
books to the family Needless to say
the city library is the most potent and
far reaching agensy for promoting gen
eral intelligence of the public. It has
been stated that "'the public library
lis the flower of the modern form of
leo-operation, which secures for the in
dividual luxuries which he could not
afford otherwise. -
Salem may well be proud of its ex-
Ieellent city library which has always
maintained a high standard of eff
'cieey and is credited throughout the
state as having no superior in the mat
ter Of its system Of supervision over
