When these vessels were first con-

Lulnbermen Assert That They
Cannot Compete with
Cheap Labor Of South

Portland, Or, Dec. 29.-With the ex-
ception of eastern Oregon and Washing
ton lumber concerns acting Individual
ly, the efforts of the federal mediation
commission headed by Labor Secretary
Wilson to institute the eight hour day
in the northwest lumber camps and mills
were in vain, it is learned today.
The Western Pine Manufacturers as
sociation, following its agreement to in
stitute the eight hour day when the
n.ediators were in Spokane recently re-
scinded this action today by vote of
the board of directors. Twenty member
companies will institute the eight hour
day tomorrow.
This action by the association follows
refusal of Douglas FIR manufacturers of
Oregon and Washington to accept the
mediators' proposal for an eight hour
day. The fir lumber men contend that
they will support the principle if it is
nationwide in the lumber industry, but
cannot compete with eouthern lumber
centers employing negro help at low
rates if compelled to pay $3.50 and up
for workman eight hours day.

The Central Powers reply in general

these parts to the men assigned to fill
the boxes of extra parts from the
supplies which had been passed by the
company and the government inspec-

"Lieutenant O'Shea directed that
every jar be opened, every bearing dis
assembled and every part thoroughly
examined. After that had been done it
was found that many of the bearings
were filled with emery, some were
cracked and scratched, others were i'm
properly fitted, and some did not have
the government stamp. The gyro-
wheels were found cracked and in some
cases maliciously mutilated.
"The use of these parts in the gyro
Of torpedo would have made that par
ticular torpedo useless weapon against
the Germans.
"Not only would the torpedo deviate
from the course upon which it was set,
but, if the action of the gyro was very
defective, the torpedo might make a
circle and strike the very ship from
which it was fired"
From the date Of the discovery of
the first tampered parts Hennig was
kept under surveillance. 1t is believ-

attempts in other plants. The statement
points out that treason is punishable
