Declares That Oregon Boys
Are Kind That Would Put

Skeptical as to- the reality Of the re-
ported urgent need for large sum of
money to take care of the returning
soldiers who are, stranded in Portland,
without money, jobs Or friends, the sen.
ate ways and means committee forced q
cut from $3.50, 200 to 100000 in the size
OF the emergency appropriation which
was rushed through the Legislature yes.
terday at earnest solicitation of May
Or George L. Bake snd other members
Of a Portland delegation.
Without any effort the bill was rush
cd through the house and reached the
senate shortly before noon, when it mas
referred to the special committee on re-
construction, which made favorable
report. Then it went to the ways and
.lneans committee, with instructions 10
make report on it within Is minutes
The Is minutes heightened into 10
before the committee agreed to report
favorably on an appropriation of $780,
000. If it hsd not been for the insis-
tent urging of Mayor Baker, the com
mittee would have put the bill over un-
til next Monday and taken the time in
between to make an investigation into
conditions.
Only one dissent.
When the bill was returned to the
senate, as amended, it was passed with
only one dissenting vote, that Of Sen
ator Wood Of Washington county.
1t was then returned to the mousse,
which accepted the senate amendment
The bill was quickly enrolled and rush

existed in Portland, where he said it
was necessary to find place to sleep
for many soldiers each night. He sr.
gued that $3.50, 600 was not large sum

barely enough.

Washington, Jan. 17.-A conference
of governors here TO work out plans
with the department of labor for put.
ting the growing army of the unem,
ployed to work at once, was proposed
totday by Senator Kenyon, Iowa,
Kenyon and some other members OF
congress are alarmed at rapid increase
of unemployment and the lack Of any
effective government plan for provid
ing work. There is no lack of ideas in
congress for creating jobs in the future
but how to supply work now is the
problem worrying Legislators.
II am going to suggest to the de-
partmcnt Of labor that the governors
of the state be urged to attend either
in person or through representatives a
conference with department officials to
work out some means for putting to
work at once more than two hundred
thousand men who, according to my in
formation, are jobless in the United
States today" said Kenyon.
Emergency Program Possible.
off the states will begin an emer-
gency program of work at once or as
soon as weather conditions will permit,
1t may be possible to prevent untold
suffering. Most of the state legisla-
turcs are now in session and could pro-
vide necessary authority for emergency
work.
Congress is being urged on every
hand to come to grips WIZ rne prob
lem, whoch, reports to members snow,
IS rapidly becoming acute.
In addition to Kenyon's suggestions
two other ideas were advanced today.

there is an over-supply Of labor to
places where workers are needed ("

BRITISH
LABOR LEADER GIVES
INTERVIEW TO U. ?.
Declares Congress AT Berne
Will Decide Between Dem
ocracy And Terrorism.
BY Lowell MelIett

United Press start corresrondent)
Paris, Jan. l6.-The war between de-
mocracy and terrorism will be largely
decided lat the international Labor
and Socialist Congress in Berne this
month, declared Arthur Henderson,
British labor leader, in an interview
with the United Press today.
Henderson explained this was the
reason the government had taetfully
supported the proposal of British la
Dor that German and Russian delegates
be admitted to the congress.
"The last hope in democracies is at
stake" he said. ''The issue is democ
racy versus terrorism. Between the two
the western world cannot long delay
its choice.
z. 60 We speak for organized society in
its most real sense. We are prepared to
stand between civilization and chaos
Now that the governments are begin
ming to realize that fact, there is lit
tie likelihood of them ever reverting
to the idea that we (labor mcn) are
to he feared"
Henderson said the allied laborites
and socialists have drawn up program
for their principles, the reforms they
desire etc, which they are ready now
to present to the representatives of
the central powers and neutral nations.
Henderson expressed hope that Am
erica would be represented, but said
he had received no light on the inten-
tions of Samuel Gompers, president of
the American Federation of Labor,
and his associates. 1t is known, how
ever, that Gompers intends to confer
with British trades union officials, who
appointed delegates to Berne as part
of the labor party's representation.
