PERSISTENT U-BOAT
warfare LOST FOR
| HUNS-BERNST0RFF
In NGhu Al mi AvUvmU 4
BY Carl ID. Groat

UNITED Press staff correspondent
Berlin, Oct. 23.---Count Won Bern
storff. former German ambassador to
the United States. declared he al
ways knew that unrestricted subma-
rine warfare meant Germany would
lose the war, in testlfying this after
noon before the reichstag committee
Investigating the war
For this reason, Won Bernstorff
said he was consistent opponent OF
the contemplated campaign OF
"frightfulness" and always urged
adoption of President Wilson's medl-
alton offers.
Ludendorff Quoted
He strengthened the case against
the militarists and Pan-Germans by
relating conversation he had with
General Ludendorff after his return
from America.
You wanted to prevent unrestrict-
Cd warfare by our U-boats and make
peace. but we are going to have un-
restricted U-boat warfare and there
By win the war In three months" he
quoted Ludendorff as saying.
Theory is Proven
A note Of triumph crept into Won
Bernstorff's testimony as he related
this conversation which he intended
as proving his own theory was right.
II knew the entry OF America into
the war would signify it's loss" de-
clared the witness. "Germany's sole
chance at the time of the mediation
proposals was to prevent Americas
entrance. Acceptance Of the propcs-
ais then would have led the peace ne
gotiations and meant that the entente
had lost and Germany had won. For
a peace of understanding was possi-
BILE IL Germany had accented then"

Declining to sign any agreement
with the union men until an under
standing is reached, Mr. spaulding an
nounced this morning when the men
appeared as.usual for work that the
mill will cease to run until a definite
decision relative to the matter Of per-
mitting the organization of employees
in the plant is reached.
Agreement Refused.
This action was taken when Presi-
dent L. J. Simeral, of the Central
Trades & Labor Council, presented the
following agreement to Mr.. Spaulding
for his signature, which he declined:
This agreement, made and entered
into this oath day Of October, 1919, by
and between the Chas. X. Spaulding
Logging company, party of the first
part, and the Salem Central Trades &
Labor council and affiliated local un-
ions of Salem, Or, and vicinity, party
of the second part:
Witnesseth: that the party of first
Part does hereby agree to reinstate all
employees; and the party of the first
part further agrees that there shall be
no discrimination toward employees on
account of their union affiliations or
activity.
Trouble Not Expected
In orderly file the men left the mill
at $3.50 and went to the Central Labor
Councils hail, where S3 additional en-
ployes signed up membership in the
Timber Workers. This makes an ap-
proximate total of 100 of the mills
workmen in the new union.
Philip Holden, organizer for the
Timber Workers, said Friday morning
that the men will insist on their re-
instatement, as union members, in the
mill. He was confident that Mr..
Spaulding will consent to the agree
ment, and the trouble will be settled
anicably
To Consult Business Men.
In refusing to sign the agreement
submitted to him this morning, as the
scores of workmen stood by waiting
his action Mr.. Spaulding said that he
woud meet with Salem business men,
and If they believe such an agreement
should be entered into, he will do it..
A conference between Mr.. Spaulding
and business men probably will be
held Monday.
Several men, immediately after leav-
ing the mill this morning. went to
work at other Jobs. The Timber Work
ers have appointed an employment
committee, and in the event the mill
is shut down for long, positions will
be obtained elsewhere. The men feel
that this will not be necessary, how
ever; and look for an early settlement
of the affair.
Union Meets Saturday.
There is little possibility Of violence
or drastic action being taken on the
part of the men. Mr.. Holden, in re-
peated admonitions. counselled seren-
ity in the action Of the men. and de-
nands that no slurring remarks be
made against the company or any an
tagonism be shown
meeting, at which latest develop
ments will be made known to the men,
and other matters discussed, will be
held at the labor temple at 1:30-p. m.
Saturday.
Many members of the Timber Work
ers. in respect to their departed fellow
worker and union supporter, will at

foreman at the Spaulding mill, who

THE House of Representatives this
week has been considering the prohibit
ton enforcement measure, and though
the liquor forces have been bitterly as
sailing the bill and obstructing it in
every way possible, they haven't had
a chance, in the world to defeat it. On
the contrary, the objectionable tactics
Of the whiskey and beer and wine ad-
vocates have had the effect Of Solidify-
ing the dry men and making even more
certain the determination of the pro-
hibitionists to pass the right sort of a
bill. Every amendment offered by the
wet Congressman has been voted
down, and the proposition to permit
2.75 per cent beer TO be manufactured
and sold was defeated by an over
whelming majority. Anything con-
tanning more than one-half Of one per
cent of alcohol will be regarded as in
toxicating and will be outlawed.
The present Congress is good and
dry, and the Republican majority is
Strengthening itself in the regard OF
the people of the country. We deep
ly regret the action of some of the
Democratic leaders who seem to think
that they are playing good politics by
acting as agents for the liquor in

THERE'S strong probability
that there will soon be another in
crease of railroad freight rates of Is
or 20 per cent. 1t is said that the in
crease is made necessary because OF
the continuous advance in wages OF
employees, the operating expenses of
the railroads having gone up 70 per
cent within the last three years. 1t
looks as if the freight and passenger
rates are already quite high enough,
yet it must be conceded that the con-
Stantly increasing rate of wages places
burden upon the roads greater than
they can carry. All fair-minded per-
sons will agree that railroad employees
are entitled TO good wages, but it must
also be admitted that there is limit
beyond which the roads cannot 60,
And it is. also fact that in many cases
employees are being paid away beyond
what they are worth to the railroads or
what they earn. What is needed now
is a revision of the wage and salary
scales that will make fair readjust-
ment-and not necessarily always up
ward.

THE President has created some
thing of a sensation by vetoing the ag-
ricultural appropriation bill, because
of rider tackled on it doing away with
the daylight saving plan which has
been in effect for the past year or
more. The House tried to pass the
bill over his veto, but was unable to
muster sufficient votes, so the daylight
saving plan is safe for the present.
There is a great diversity Of opinion
in regard to this bill. The farmers
oppose it,while the greatmanufacturing
centres are strongly in favor of it.
In other words, one great body of the
people wants it and another great
body doesn't. City wins against the
country this time, and everybody may
as well fall in line.
