WAGES FOR sHIPBUILDERs.

Portland, Ore, May 28.-At a con- ference of Pacific coast shipbuilders and employees here this week an effort will be made to reach satisfactory agreement on wage dispute in order that there may be no interference in this section with the governments shipbuilding program. Following a strike in the early part of the year at two of the Portland steel shipbuild- building yards, an increase was grant, ed the local workers and it was un- derstood that the wages were practi- cally the same all over the coast. A recent increase granted by the Seattle shipyards, however, has rendered fur ther changes necessary in order to bring about a standard scale.

Only One Registrar Absent From Gathering Here
 Yesterday.
EVERYTHING READY
 FOR THE BIG TASK
County Board Has Organized We'll the Forces to Enroll on June j Every Male Subject to Draft
 Under New Law.

Rather remarkable demonstra tion of willingness to serve the na- tion was given here yesterday when all but one of the men designated by the county registration board com posed of Sheriff R. H. Williams County Clerk c. M. Nichol and Coun- ty Physician E. c. McMullen. to serve as registrars at the different precincts on June ,. under the terms of the army draft act, assembled in the circuit court room here to re- ceive instructions as to the manner of registering those eligible to draft and making returns. The absentee was Neal Sanders of Locust Cottage and it is believed that illness or other circumstances over which Mr. San. ders had no control prevented him from making the long trip to Pine Bluff.
 When the registrars departed they carried with them ballot boxes n which Sheriff Williams had placed all the paraphernalia, and when the registration in each precinct is com pleted on the night of June the boxes containing the records will be immediately returned to the sheriff This was considered good plan, as it lessens the danger of any of tn ? material being misplaced or lost.
 Sheriff Williams and County Clerk Nichol addressed the registrars, ex. blaming in detail the instructions re- ceived from the war department which appear in another part of The Graphic, and replying to queries concerning the manner of listing the men eligible and making the returns The registration offices will open at z a. m. on June 5 and remain open until 9 p. m. of that day. All males who have attained the age of 21 years and have not passed tLeir 31st birth day anniversary must register on that day, under penalty of Imprisonment. Men who claim exemption must reg ister, giving the reason for the claim in a blank provided on the card. Four thousand cards were sent to country precincts, and 2,000 were allotted to the five precincts in Vaugine town ship, in which Pine Bluff is located.

FRENCH REGRET
 ROOSEVELT NOT
 TO LEAD FORCES
Former Premier Prints in His Paper Open Letter on
 Subject to President.

Paris, May 2S.-Former Premier Clemenceau in an open letter to President Wilson printed in his pa per L'Hommenchaine, appeals to the president to send Colonel Roosevelt and "his companions" M. Clemenceau says:
 "In invaded France at the present hour there is name which repre- sent, by I know not what force of intuition, the beauty oe Americas in- tervention-it is that of Roosevelt. You are too much a philosopher not to know that great popular leaders have influenced men out of all pro- portion to their own realizing, but the intangible atmosphere of legend which with or without their assist ance has formed around them.
 "Whatever may be the reasons and without attempting to analyze the phenomenon l yield to the impervius need to tell you that the name Of Roosevelt has in our country at this time a legendary power. It would be an enormous error in my view to neglect a force which everything urg- es us to make use of as soon as pos sible.
 "We have learned that the first American unit has arrived at the front and with what Zest generals and rrivates saluted the noble Starred Banner. However, you should know Mr.. President, that more than one stout chevronned poilp said to his comrade in an astonished voice But where is Roosevelt? l don't ses him."
