DRINK IN SCOTLAND

Glasgow There is a great rush for
whisky in this town and despite the
very high prices now ruling there
have been long lines of women in the
Clyde working districts waiting out
side shops TO buy as many bottles as
possible for the Christmas festivities.
Scotch distiIlers express the belief
that thesale of whisky viii cease in a
few weeks and this has increased the
urgency of the demand Publicans
have decided to curtail their selling
hours, and prices in the bars have
risen to ten pence a glass in the poor
er districts and to IA pence in the
higher class saloons.
These are the highest prices ever
known in Scotland, but. in conse-
quence of the big wages now being
earned. there is no slackening in the
demand.

STRIKERS ATTEND
STATE MEETING OF
LABOR FEDERATION
One Hundred Iron and Steel
Workers Arrive Here From
Portland Today

One hundred of the pickets who have
been surrounding the Northwest Steel
company's works in Portland, where a
strike has been in progress, arrived in
Salem today noon. They came by auto
and their special business here is to
attend the session this afternoon of
the Federation of Labor and to be pres
ent this evening at the hearing before
a legislative committee to consider the
proposed anti-pieketing law.
The program of yesterday afternoon,
besides the regular routine business,
included an address by the Rev. Tufts
of Portland, favoring the one day in
seven rest bill, and the idea was en-
dorsed by the delegates. Addresses
were also made by Labor Commissions
er Hoff and Gus Uhl of Los Angeles,
international organizer of the painters
and decorators.
j. Dennis, international organizer of
the sheet metal workers also spoke be-
fore the delegates.
w. A. Marshall, industrial accident
commissioner, referred to the lack of
present safety legislation to reach
workmen in several lines, including
those who work in the mines. He said
he was convinced that the best results
come from investigating all problems
from joint commission of employers
and employees, with power to regulate.
He also referred to any minor abuses,
including questionable hospital fees
Questioned as to rates of the accident
fund, Mr. Marshall thought there
might be some changes coming. Note
was also made of the large number of
employers coming under the provisions
of the accident commission.
A resolution was introduced oppos
ing the consolidation of the labor com
mission with that of the accident com
mission. 1t was referred to the com
mittee on consolidation.
This afternoons session was given
mostly to a consideration as to what
should be done to help the strike now
on in Portland between the NcSthwest
Steel company and its. eSployes. One
hundred of the striking pickets were
present at the session. Tonight tht
delegates and pickets viii confer witt
committee from the legislature OF
the proposed anti-picket law.

Prof. G. R. McAuslan Is
Lecturing on Salesmanship

Prof. g. R. McAuslan, who is here
giving a short course of lessons n
salesmanship is taking for his general
subject this week the fundamentals
of fabrics and telling about those
interesting features regarding history,
growth and production which are not
uusally learned by handling the goods.
He took for his special subject last
night "CottoH, and told how it grows
and where and its great Importance as
the lowest in cost and most largely US
ed Of any fibre for clothing.
He spoke about the period between
1870 and 1900 as being the time when
the great basic inventions were made
which changed the industry from a
household to a factory institution. He
then referred in detail to the cotton
gin and its invention by Eli Whitney
in 1854 and with small model show
ed the principal upon which it works.
Stating that before his time it took
two men to pick two pounds of cotton
a day, but now two men could attend
to six gins producing twenty four
thousand pounds a day. With chart
containing pictures of each machine
he then showed how the cotton passes
from raw fibre to finished sewing
thread or yarn, used for knitting or
weaving. He also showed samples of
various grades of cotton cloth from
mills in Rhode Island. Some of which
were looked at b y members of the class
through a microscope. There was great
interest developed and number of
questions asked by members of the
class.
Tonight the subject of "Linen' will
be taken up and samples of fibre shown
illustrating the experimental work done
last summer in raising flax in the Will
lamette valley, and comparing it with
the best fibre from Europe.
All are welcome. The meeting viii
be held at the rooms of the Salem Com
mercial club at s p. III.

RAIDER HAS
DROPPED OUT OF SIGHT
BY Charles w. Stewart

UNITED Press staff correspondent
Buenos Aires, Jan. 23.-The German
raider has apparently disappeared just
as mysteriously as she arrived in the
South Atlantic Her appearance, in
some far distant part Of the world, her
aided by another " drive" on allied ship
ping, was today predicted as the next
word TO be heard from the rover. Rio
De Janeiro reported several vessels,
which might be the raider and con
sorts. sighted on the north Brazil coast
but there was no tangible evidence that
any one Of these were actually raiders.
Rumor that the British cruiser Glas-
Cow had sunk the raider was entirely
discredited today. Efforts to trace the
source Of the rumor were fruitless, but
it was certain il had not been based
on any definite information.
In the meantime the newspaper
STANDARD today published an unconfirm'
ed rumor that a submarine, presumably
a German, had stopped the Spanish
steamer Reina Victoria Eugenia yester'
day evening at the mouth Of the River
Plate.
According TO this report, the steam
er's papers were examined and she wai
finally permitted to proceed.

LISTEN TO THIS!
SAYS C0RNS LIFT
RIGHT OUT NOW

You reckless men and women who
are pestered with corns and who have
at least once a week invited an awful
death from lockjaw or blood poison
are now told by Cincinnati authority
to use drug called freezone, which
the moment few drops are applied
to any corn, the soreness is relieved
and soon the entire corn, root and all,
lifts out with the fingers.
1t is sticky ether compound which
dries the moment it is applied and
simply shrivels the corn without inflam-
nation or even irritating the surround
ing tissue or skin. 1t is claimed that
quarter of an ounce of freezone will
cost very little at any of the drug stores
but is sufficient to rid ones feet OF
every hard or soft corn or callus.
You are further warned that cutting
at corn is suicidal habit.

FOOD SW|NDLING
IN GERMAN EMPIRE
By Carl w. Ackerman,

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Berlin, Jan. ga gigantic scheme
in food swindling has Deen uncovered
through the arrest of Frau Kupfer and
her daughter by police today. Berlin IS
first citizens, it is now revealed, have
been swindled out of millions of marks
in q story of financing and manipula-
ton that rivals fiction.
Frau Kupfer came to Leipsig at the
start of the war and borrowed 400
marks ($92) with which she opened a
small office. She purchased artificial
honey and later re-sold at great
profit. It was but a short time until
she had 10000 marks ($2,300) and
this she invested in other food prod
uets, re-selling them at extravagant
prices.
Her fascinating manners gained her
hundreds and thousands of marks from
investors, and she finally organized a
l0,000,000 mark ($2,300000) concern.
Almost unbelievable dividends were
paid by this great company. Frau
Kupfer forged contracts for army
food and as her business grew she
established smuggling concern. Her
headquarters in Berlin were always
filled with food.
This the rich people of Berlin bought
willingly at extortionate prices. Hotels
bid for chance to purchase her prod
ucts. Frau Kupfer began quietly OBJ
tanning enormous sums on her promises
for future delivery. Then she was
trapped by the police.
Careful search was being made to-
day for a man co-worker of the fasci-
mating Frau Kupfer.

LABOR CONFERENCE
AT MANCHESTER TODAY
Delegates Of Labor Party Of
England Cheer President
Wilson

London, Jan. 23.-The most moment
GUS conference in the history Of the
British industrialism opened today at
Manchester. 1t was the conference of
the labor party and peculiar Snterest
attached to its deliberations because
of the fact that President Wilson s
speech, published here today accentuat-
ed the Importance of the discussion ex-
pressed on various resolutions already
submitted demanding immediate peace
negotiations.
There were three factions which
combined to make the meeting of tense
interest throughout England. First, the
party was expected to 90 on record as
to the peace propaganda. Secondly, it
was to decide whether to grant support
to its parliamentary leaders, in joining
the Lloyd-George government. Thirdly,
the party was scheduled to make sweep.
ing pronouncements on various post
war problems.
Great Britain expects labor, in its
official party, to favor a fight to a
finish and to defeat, by a large ma
jority, the plans of any pacifists who
may be backing the resolutions urging
negotiations.
Bitter debate is expected on the ques
tion of whether minister without port
folio Arthur Henderson, and Minister
of Labor John Hodge in the Lloyd
George cabinet, violated the party's con
stitution when they accepted such
posts. The labor party leaders take
the position that the nation S crisis in
the war justified technical violation
of the party tenets by Henderson,
Hodge and others and this view will
probably be sustained by the confer
ence.
This expected particularly since the
leaders see an opportunity to obtain
support from British opinion on their
postwar demands. if labor continues its
self sacrificing support of the war as
at present.
