STATE HEALTH CODE
HAD NARROW ESCAPE
After Considerable Opposition
House Voted To Modern
ize Code.

The code of Health for the state of
Oregon, brought up to fit modern con
ditions had a narrow escape in the
house yesterday afternoon when an eff
fort was made by D. @. Lewis of Port
land and Mrs. Thompson Of The Dalles
to kill the bill.
Mr.. Lewis didn t understand the bill
and Mrs. Thompson hasn t much use for
q code of health nor for the Oregon
state board of health nor for Mr.. Seely,
state health officer.
In bringing the code of health for
use Of the state health board up to date
and to fit modern conditions, including
epidcmics, it was necessary to print the
old health regulations with the new
conditions all of which required 72
pages of the official pumpnlet.
Having fought all day over a few
hundred dollars in the oleomargarine
bill, members Of the house didn t care
very much whether tho state had any
modern sanitary laws, and there was &
disposition to follow the lead Of Mrs.
Thompson and kill the bill Members
just couldn't bear to think of looking
into 72 pages on the health code of the
state, Notwithstanding Inc lro: that &
dozen committee meetings had been
held discu sing the code and every ef-
fort had been made by the medical men
to make the code warkable.
An undertaken fired in several tele-
grams opposing the bill and mombcr
opposed to chiropracties didn't like a
certain provision. Others didn't like the
idea Of giving school boards the right
to employ nurses and physicians for
the purpose Of examining children. And
just as things were looking dark for a
new code of health for Oregon, DR.. G.
G. Moore, a member Of the Portland
delegation told the house just what it
was doing in trying to kill the bill. And
instead of killing the bill, the house got
in better humor and at an adjourned
session passed it, with only two or three
votes against it.

Washington, Feb. 27.--Prisident Will
SON Is own Interpretation Of the league
Of nations constitution was placed bc.
fore congress today. 1t was presented
informally to house and senate mem
bcrs by the foreign relations commit
tees of the two bodies. They received it
from the president last night at din
lner and conference at the White House.
1t will be given more formally to the
senate in speeches by administration
leaders. Absolute freedom to make
public every detail Of last night . con-
ference was explicitly explained to
those attending it, they said today. AT
the very outset the president invited
full, frank discussion of the league by
congress and the country.
Made Position Clear.
The presidents position on provis-
ions about which debate has conferred
was made plain in answer to questions
asked him by his guests, they said to-
day.
The president did not take up rnc
league constitution article by article
and expound it, nor did he make a
speech. He iavited questions and then
answered them.
In view of the presidents evident de-
sire that congress and the people get all
possible information concerning rno
workings Of the projected league, those
attending the dinner and conference
talked freely today.
The presidents Interpretation, as it
appeared to the committee members pnu
as stated by them to the United Press,
is given herewith:
Monroe Doctrine.
The proposed league extends the
Monroe Doctrine to the entire world and
thus would strengthen instead of weak
en- or destroy this traditional American
policy.
Mandatories.
The provision for states mandatory
to supervise, guide and guard former
colonies of Germany or her allies does
not compel any nation to assume the
task Of mandatory against its will.
In this connection, the president sta
ted according to committee members,
that numerous requests have been made
that the United States act as manda-
tory in the cases Of number of coun-
tries. But it will be with the greatest
reluctance that this country undertake
such work, the president is quoted as

.P|Ez SAYS MORE PAY

PER-NAN PRODUCTION
Only Offered Hog Island Fore.
men Two Dollar Weekly
Increase.

Washington, Feb Eff further in
creases in pay are to be given ship
yard workers "a considerable increase
in the par man production must en-
sue was the warning in statement
covering the demands of the Hog Is
land shipyard foremen today by Di-
rector General Piez of the Emergency
Fleet corporation. Piez offered the
|400 foremen an increase of So a week
instead of the demanded SO raise.
Certainly, with unemployment
growing, with prices generally on the
decline and with lesscning opportunity
in many industries, demands for wage
increases can be justified solely on
the ground OF considerable increase
in production, Piez replied to the
foremen.
Officials regarded the course taken
by Piez as leading directly to cancel
lation of contracts for further ship
building should strikes come.
Still Much Work to Do
His statement mentioned that there
still was much work to do in carrying
out the government construction pro
gram hut intimated strongly that time
was no longer pressing and that the
work could be temporarily delayed If
it were necessary to await more fav-
orable conditions.
Picz said the shipbuilding industry
must be "purged" " if men arc not able
to do the work for which they were
employed, there can be no reduction
in the costs Of production, he pointed
out
1t is only by manning the yards with
men physically fit and skilled that
the industry in this country can be
placed on a basis whore foreign CON
tracts can be obtained, he added.
The new wage scale, which Piez says
will be satisfactory to him, affects
foremen of the following classes Of
work and is as follows;
Ship filters $66 per week; riveters
$66 per week, crcctors 500 rcr week;
tank testers $66 per week; clippers,
caulkers 800 per week; carpenters s66
per week; boiler installation $66 per
week; Ibolters $54 per week; drillers,
rcamers $54 per week.

LEGISLATORS DON'T
WANT TO QUIT WORK
Members OF House Even Try
Reyiiving Dead Bills To
ProIong Session.

The Legislature dies hard. It was sup
posed TO expire last Friday eycning, but
the members were not in frame of mind.
Thea it was supposed to quit yesterday,
but still the members were not cutters.
And again this morning with but little
real business to transact, members of
the house were in such fine fettle and
showed such a strong fighting spirit
that the guess at $3.50 O'Clock this af-
tcrnool was just $3.50 that the final
adjournment would take place late this
afternoon.
There was tempest in teapot this
morning, which stirred up the scrapping
spirit Of house members. iii a dead
easy proposition to get through the
house q $5,000,000 reconstruction meas
urc hl about five minutes or to kill a
state marketing bill or to even cndan-
ger the health code Of the slale.
Are Always on Guard
But when it comes to monkcying with
some bill that touches the interests of
several of the "boys" back home, the
"b0ys' in the House are suddenly gall
vanized into sudden action, and on the
job.
Hence this morning when the little in
noeent bill providing that the funds Of
schools districts should be deposited
with the county treasurers was intro
duced, it started a little breeze that was
soo1'fanned into hurricane, with doz-
en- members ON the floor all trying to
speak at once.
The bill provides that school districts
shall deposit their money with the
county treasurers. These treasurcrs are
supposed to get two per cent daily bal
ance from the bGnk, whereas at present
TIE funds draw no interest. The bill
exempted Multnomah counry, sot so
anxious were the Portland delegates to
get into the fight that they bitterly
opposed the bill.
After spending almost all of the
morning session scrapping On the bill
a committee was finally appointed, con-
sisting Of Bean, Woodson and Cross,
who are supposed to arrange some sort
Of compromise.
Unfavorable TO Resurrectious.
Another fight was precipitated over
the efforts made to resurrcct bill
which had been indefinitely postponed.
This was bill providing that in the
materials used in corrugated culyerts
must be chemically analysed and this

saying. He indicated, it was stated,
that if this country does become man
datory, Armeisia is likely TO DC sno OBJ
icct Of our care.
The mandatory plan was adopted,
committee members quoted the prcsi-
dent as saying, because Of the obvious
difficulties Of outright annexations.
Disarmament.
Effective disarmament, in the cresi-
dents view, as stated by members, do
pends upon (l) the good faith and hon.
or of nations of the league, and (2)
enforcement of the provision agailsk
general private manufacture Of arrls,
munitions and war material.
Each nation is the judge Of the pro-
gram necessary to insure its own safety
and It is here, in the PRESIDENT Is view,
that unless absolute good faith is shown
disarmament will not be completely efH
fcctive But the provision limiting pro-
duction Of war material will, in his op-
inion, 60 fur to aid disarmament by
preventing the equipping Of hugo
army or super-army. Nothing in the
constitution, he is quoted as saying, pre-
vents the training Of any number Of
men, but they do not constitute an
army unless armed and equipped.
The president impressed his hcarcrs
with the faet that once the program fur
any nation has been ratified that narlon
cannot Of its own motion increase tho
program without flying into the race Of
its solemn pledge as o league member.
Great Britain's Power.
The British empire will have five
votes in the full league, but one IN the
executive council. Each OF Britain's
self'governing colonial possessions win
get separate vote in the full league,
but the United Kingdom alone will got
separate vote in the council This dis
poses, in the view of administration
senators, Of the argument that British
power would be increased ont Of all pro-
portion by creation Of the league under
the proposed constitution
Ireland.
For the present, Ireland will not
have q vote or be a member Of the
league as a separate nation, committee
men understood. The president i'm
dicatcd they said, that Ireland's s future
status is q matter between ireland and
the British government rad that the
league has no jurisdiction.
withdrawal From the League.
Any nation wishing to withdraw from
the league may do 50 by renouucing rno
treaty, the president said, according TO
congressman. This is the same course
any nation is at liberty to pursue with
respect at any treaty.
Amendment of the constitution, once
IL has been ratified, win be difficult,
and not to be accomplished upon the
whim Of any nation, the president told
his guests, they said today. He also was
quoted is saying practically all neutral
nations have expressed a desire to be-
come league members.
He emphasized what he said at Bos-
ton that despair will grip the world Il
the United States does not ratify the
