To Resume Operations

PORTLAND. Ore, Sept. 25.-An eff fort will be made to resume operations at once in all ship building plants in Portland, as the result of a conference tonight of the ship yard owners with Major Baker and Federal Mediator C.. I. Harry
 The owners agreed that they have every confidence in the government and are willing to abide by any adjustment the government may make" in the wage and closed shop controversy which has resulted in about 1000 wooden and steel sh:pbuilders going out on strike in yards where vessels communicated by the government are being built.
 Mayor Baker announcing the result of the conference, the second of the day, advised against any violence or demonstration when the yards are re- opened saying the anti-picketing law would be strictly enforced.

Under Misapprehsnsion

WASHINGTON, Sept 25-Convinced
 the strike of Seattle workers has been
 called under a misapprehension, the
 shipbuilding labor adjustment board
 believes an understanding can be
 reached before Saturday. the day set for the walkout. Union officials will l be advised tomorro% that it has been and is the intention of the board to take up the Seattle situation immedi- ately and settle it upon it's merits un- der the agreement that the new wage
 scale shall date back to August 1.
 Louis B. Wehle, counsel for the ad justment board, said tonight the board fully realized the differences between the cases of Seattle, Portland and San Francisco and that there had been no thought of confusing the issues.
 | The Seattle wage scale contracts ex- pired August 1 and but for the inter- vention of the government there would have been strike August 14. The shipping board and the navy board have agreed to pay half of any in- creases to men working on comman- deered ships and the adjustment board believes an agreement can be arranged ] if little time is given for negotiation.

Another Air Raid

LONDON, Sept. 25.-Another hostile airplane raid on London took place to- night. There were two attacks ap- parently, for after a forty minute quiet interval anti-aircraft guns resumed firing in the London district.
 In the first attack, after brisk firing by the defense guns, lasting only ten minutes, the raiders were driven off without succeeding in reaching the city of London.
 The firing of the anti aircraft guns in the second attack was of only brief duration. The raiders were driven off and the police gave out the 'aIl clear signal at 9:30 o'clock
 A report of the raid issued by Field Marshal French as follows:
 "The Thames estuary was again the object of a hostile air raid this even ing. The Kent and Essex coast was crossed at various points and a few bombs were dropped but no casualties are as yet reported
 One raider penetrated as far as the southeastern outskirts of London, where two bombs fell, causing some twenty casualties"
 It appears that the fierce battle which the British airplane and anti-aircraft artillery put up last night forced the raiders to leave London without drop ping any considerable part of their cargo of explosives.
 The enemy remained over London at a great height for the greater part of two hours and the raid appears to have been on a pretentious scale but it was even more abortive than pre- vious attempts. Although the visitors arrived early in the evening Londoners have taken to heart the advice of the authorities about seeking cover and this accounts in part for the small number of casualties.
 The weather conditions were equally | favorable to the raiders but, judging from the information thus far avail | able, tonights raid was less serious

WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.-COn- ferees on the war tax bill failed again today to break their deadlock on war excess profits taxation. but some prog ress was made on compromise nego tiations before they adjourned until tomorrow.
 Return of the measure to the senate and house before the latter part of the week was said tonight to be improD- able and some of the conferees were disposed to fear a final disagreement.
 Virtually the whole question of war excess profits was said to have been thrown open today. It was reported the conferees were considering entirely rewriting the section, following sug- gestions by Secretary McAdoo.

CorsoIidates Americas

WASHINGTON Sept. 25.-Beside further consolidating the Americas in the war for democracy, the addition of Argentina to Germany's list of enemies would mean the partial relieving of the united States and Brazilian fleets in the patrol of the South Atlantic. even 1T there should be no spectacular CO., operation by sending an army to France.
 President Irigoyen has been consist ent in his determination not to permit his country to take any other than @ neutral position. but it is considered improbable that he will veto the action of the legislative bra 1c:l of his govern ment. A political danger would face his administration in such course, since tne majority of the people appear 10 feel keenly the ridiculous position in which their country .,a, oeen placed by the duplicity of the German minister The discovery today that the strikes and riots in Buenos Aires were insti- gated and supported by German agents makes the situation worse.
 Although great military support might not be given the allies by Argen- tina, her economic aid would be inn portant. Perhaps the largest produc- ing country in South America, she could contribute plentifully to the food supplies of the fighting nations.

TRepubIican A. P. Leased Wire1

BUENOS AIRES. Sept. 25.-The chamber of deputies today voted in favor of a rupture with Germany. The vote was 53 to IS.
 The resolution declaring for the breaking off of relations with Germany adopted today by the chamber of dep uties was passed last week by the Ar gentina senate by a vote of 23 to l.
 The entire Argentine army has been summoned to duty to aid the govern ment in attempting to re-establish railroad traffic at present held up by a strike. This action was decided upon after the strikers failed to ac- cept an offer of government circles to- night that martial law might be de- clared throughout the republic within a few hours.
 In Cordoba strikers today attacked a conveyed train. Women were placed in front of the crowd as shield. There was an exchange of shots, three per sons being killed and ten wounded. Several serious clashes between troops and strikers are reported from other cities of the republic.
 The authorities have been advised officially that the strike in the city of Santa Fe during the last month was fomented and supported by Germans
 The situation brought about by the strike is becoming more serious and it is feared the conflict will assume a revolutionary character if an imme- diate settlement is not reached The citys food supplies have been almost cut off. The cutting of tele- graph wires has isolated the capital except from nearby southern points. The only cable communication open is by way of London
 The government desires to postpone formation of it's policy until it re- ceives from Ambassador Naon at Washington trarslations of the 4l5 telegrams received or sent by the Swedish legation here. These messages were teleSraphed to Dr. Naon with in structions to send translations. The government is considering inn position of a rigid censorship of all messages in the republic to prevent misuse of the cables such as that prac- ticed by Count von Luxburg the dis missed German minister.
 Strikers have cut the telegraph line to Valparaiso, Chile, paralyzing direct cable service to the United States.
