day in the camps and mills" and
 added, "The chairman's efforts to
 smear mems regulations and taint
 their good names in a mad desire to get something on the government,
 are so obvious as to be perfectly
 transparent and perfectly understood.
 It is making the investigation ridicu-
 Ious It IS reducing it to a farce.'
 Further commenting upon the
 Frear methods in connection with
 what is a really important inyestiga-
 tions, the Journal editorial says:
 There should be an honest probe.
 Crooked transactions, if there were
 such, should be brought to light. The
 people are entitled to know. It
 should be done for the protection of
 the government and the public ser
 vice It should also be done for the
 sake of General Disque, Northwest
 lumbermen and all in the spruce di-
 vision. A great trust was committed
 to General Disque. It was no less a
 task than to supply most of the air plane material for an unparalleled war, a war in which 56,000.00 men were under arms. The fate of the world hung upon the endeavors here in the Northwest. The cry was for speed, speed, speed. The expectation was that the war would last five years, not that it would end in 19 months. To meet this tremendous re- sponsibility was the part committed d to General Disque, and in the light of the fact that he raised the pro l auction of airplane material from | less than 100000 to 1S,OOO,0OO feet | a month, he is entitled to fairness, and all the lumbermen and loggers | are likewise entitled to an honest, un- | biased and dignified inquiry"
 l AS to the political aspect of the 1 Frear methods, the Journal conclu des: | If the chairman could hear the remarks of his own party about what
 they term the prosecution and the | persecution he would realize that e | is making a farce of what ought to l be a patient, purposeful, dignified in- | yestigation."
 Members of the House of Repre- l sentatives are hearing of the details | of the spruce investigation on the 1 Pacific Coast, and when Chairman | Frear makes his report he is likely | to encounter a merry heckling. ac-

30,312 DISCHARGED SOLDIERS ARE
 GIVEN GOOD POSITIONS BY K. OF c.

While we rejected several thous- and so-called opportunities as not worthy of the men, we found that we had openings for more men than ap- lied for work. Employers had places for 70,O23 men; there were 62,211 ap- plicants on our books.
 "Wounded men, of course, enlisted our most earnest efforts to be helpful We were successful in finding mora than 400 openings in the jewelry trade-an occupation suited to men. who had lost their legs or who had been crippled. Unfortunately we could not find more than 53 men suitable for that kind of work
 Requests came to us to supply more than 1000 tatlors. Only one. man was dicovered who was a tailor and said so. That one went to worlSi at sixty dollars a week. After that we kept on looking TOT tailors but without much success.
 Tt seems incredible, but we could not find even one locksmith among our applicants yet we knew of more than a hundred openings for men in that | trade. It was the same with shoe- makers. Now, out of those 62, ,211 men
 whom we listed as applicants, there
 must have been at least one who was ] a shoemaker. If there was he refus.
 ed to admit 1t, for we could not get
 any one of them to take interest in l the 12S jobs at the shoe bench which we found to be waiting for capable
 men.
 Likewise, we failed to unearth any barbers although there was demand for them. Neither were there any de- | tectives. We were astonished when | our canvassers listed ten jobs as de- | tectives to be filled. Those jobs are still unified so far as we are con- l cerned.
 We were grati1ed, of course, to see men put forward by us land hap | oily in s7,O00 a year jobs. But there
 was a sad incident in connection with | the highest-salaried place on our l list It was a managership at s10.- | coo a year. A soldier had all of the mental qualifications but he was | turned down because of a moral blot on his life.

have been denied and disproved. It is charged that if a witness does not testify in the manner desired by Chairman Frear-that is, relate tales of vast unnecessary expenditures-he is imm ediately squelehed. That seems to be the view of the Portland Jour nal, an influential independent news paper of Oregon's largest city, as ex- pressed recently in an editorial term ed, "Is This a Sample of Congress ?" This comment on the Frear methods begins:
 ''Is this really a part of Congress Is all Congress in all its parts the empty, unfair, hypocritical sham that Chairman Frear's stellar perform ances in the spruce inquiry are?
 That is the thought in the minds of many who look on at Chairman Frear's treatment of witnesses. His manner is that of a thicknecked po- | lice court lawyer. He brings the American House of Representatives down to the level of a kangaroo court. Innuendo and insinuation are | flung at witnesses. There is an as-
 sumption that the chairman and just
 a few other persons are honest, and | that all those who struggled out here | in the West to get out spruce are crooks.

 IDEA HOUSE IS KANGAROO COURT
Has Caused Much Feeling
 on Oregon Spruce Junket.

Washington, Sept. 30 - According to newspaper comments the path of the sub-"smelling" committee of the House of Representatives select com mittee to investigate war expenditures is far from being of a roseate nature during it's junket to the Pacific coast. It appears that James A. Frear, the Republican chairman of the sub Ism ellers,' is adopting the same methods in investigating the spruce industry's part in the aviation pro- gram as he showed in Washington when he attempted to frighten Chair man Homer s. Cummings of the Dem ocratic National Committee. That f1asco caused many laughs in many newspapers.
 The Republican majority of the spruce "smellers' have given out sev- eral statements attacking various per sons and corporations all of which
