to refusal of the workers in many
industries to work full time.
John Hodge, a member OF parlia-
ment and labor leader. expressed the
belief that the adoption of the piece
work system as already applied TO
the iron and steel industries. would
solve the problem. To this, he de-
clared. many workmen were,opposed.
W. A. Appleton, secretary OF Gene
raj Federation of Trade Unions,
urged the men to refrain from po-
litical strikes, as the first move to-
ward increased production.
Political strikes must either fail
or end in revolution" he said. They
are not against the capitalist but
against the community. II is not the
capitalist that suffers but the peo-
pie. The effect OF such strikes Is to
decrease production and increase the
price OF commodities.
NJ. Thunderstorm. a Sheffield lead
er said: The surest way OF increas-
ing production is to give payment BY
results. Wherever possible II is car
rled out in ours. the steel trade. In
my opinion II is time we called a
halt in regard to increases in wages
because 1t only means a further in
crease in the cost OF living. The
sooner we can make the workers rea-
liZe that 1t is more to their interest
to decrease the cost OF living than
to increase wages, the better II will
be for all concerned"

BoLSHEvIKI ROADS

A prominent motor car salesman
calls bad roads "bolsheviki" roads.
The specially of a bolshevik, he says,
is to destroy property and kill pro-
gress. and nobody can deny that this
is exactly what the bad road does.
The bolshevik road keeps visitors,
tourists and new blood away from
a town, and thereby retards its
growth. discourages new enterprises
and investments and keeps realty
values down." says this apostle Of
the better highway.

OREGON WEATHER
A REVIVAL OF BOXING

"A revival of boxing is predicted as
the result of the training the soldiers
received in the camps.
It is estimated that the army is
turning back into civilian life about
three million men who are trained
boxers, for boxing was compulsory in
many, of the training camps, and
where this was not the case there
was sufficient enthusiasm for 1t as a
sport to make up for the lack of COM
pulsion.
As a result Of the army training
and the new boxing rules establish
ed under it. this ancient sport is to
be brought back to a point where it
need not be under the stigma OF
public disapproval, as it has been for
so long. The Western Washington
Association for Government Boxing
is one of the organizations undertak-
ing ito place boxing upon a plane
that Will make it free from criti-
cism."
Boxing is not gentle pastime,
but it requires that man be in the
pink of physical condition. Bad
habits and good boxing do not go to-
gether. 1t is excellent training
alike to mind and muscle, eyesight
and temper.
As practiced in the army one OF
its most evil features was done away
with-contests for prizes or prize
money. All boxing was done as sport
for sports sake. and not for gain.

tonight by the War Trade Board, eff
fective tomorrow. At the same time
the board rescinded the regulations
by which all applications for licenses

ministratiOn showing that the ad

PUSHING
ORGANIZATION OF NEXT HOlJsE

Washington, March 5. - Republican
organization of the next house of rep
resentatives was pushed forward to-
day by party leaders, composing the
committee on committees with 'prac-
tically a final decision that seniority
of membership would continue to de-
termlne committee ranks. This action,
taken in respect to the eleven princi-
pal committees, applied to chairman-
ships as well as to other leading places.
Before undertaking to consider the
question Of membership rank, the re-
publicanS decided on the apportion-
ment of places on the committees be-
tween the two parties. Because of
their margin of control of the next
house. the committee decided to in
crease the majority appointment by
one member, with a similar reduction
Of democratic or minority membership.
The principal committee, having
twenty-one members, would under the
plan adopted be divided between thir-
teen republicans and eight democrats.
while practically the same ratio would
obtain with the committee of smaller
membership. A decision to make pos
sible use of the committee on depart
mental expenditures for proposed in
vestigation of war expenditures and
other inquiries of department inquiries
led to the membership apportionment
| Of this committee being agreed on as
| five republicans and two democrats,
| instead of the four to three ratio that
| obtained in the last house.

DisCoRD BETWEEN CONGRESS
AND THE WAR DEPARTMENT

Washington, March 5.-Another
chapter in the controversy between
and the war department
over the general question of military
justice was added tonight by Senator
Chamberlain, chairman of tht mill
tary committee in the last senate, who
issued d statement declaring that
erroneous and false" statements were
contained in the reply of Major Cen
eral Crowder, judge advocate general,
to the senator's address in the senate
last December.
Senator Chamberlain also sharply
criticised Secretary Baker, declaring
be had permitted himself to be guild
ed by the reactionary elements of the
army" Referring to the correspond
ence between Mr.. Baker and Repre-
sentative Gould of New York, regard
ing Brigadier General Ansell, former
acting judge advocate general, who
recently testified before congressional
committees concerning courtsmartial
cases, the senator said the secretarys
next step would "be to reduce the
rank of General Ansell," and added:
mo man who is not wholly imper-
vious to the inhumanity ii the courts
martial system and to the opinion of
the country could not only refuse to
change the conditions, but also pun
ish the man who is responsible more
than any one else for the conditions
being made known and for such steps
as have been taken by the military
authorities to change and correct
them"
General Crowder's letter replying to
Senator Chamberlain address was
placed in the Congressional Record
last Monday by Representative Dunn
Of New York. Accompanying it was
letter from Mr.. Baker saying the
generals reply had been sent to Sena-
tor Chamberlain several weeks ago.
Admitting that he received the let
ter, the Oregon senator said it con
tanned so many misstatements of fact
that | hesitated to make it public be-
cause l did not care to embarrass the
secretary by having him stand spon-
sor and be responsible for such erro-
neous and false statements in an Off
cial communication to the senate OF

RESULTS OF SACRIFICES MADE
BY WOUNDED AMERICANS

New York, March 5.-President Will
son, in a written statement published

America would not forget the sacri-
fees that American soldiers wounded
in France had made and that their
wounds are the noblest badges of
honor any man has ever worn" The
statement was sent to the magazine
last night just after the president had
delivered his opera house address.
L could tell you" he wrote, what
the sacrifices you have made have
meant to the world. I could tell you
what history for all time to come will
say of you and the sufferings you have
experienced on your great crusade.
But these things other men will tell
you.
Il prefer to remind you that the
wounds you bear are the noblest
badges of honor any man has ever
worn; that they exaIt you to supreme
place in the minds and hearts of your
countrymen and of all the world. I
prefer to assure you that America
realizes that she has no more solemn
obligations, no more patriotic duty,
than to express in practical terms the
gratitude that every Anerican-man,
woman and children-feels for every
one of you.
America will not forget"

FRANCO O-AMERECAN CLUB
WAS RAIDEO IN PARIS

Paris March 5.-Much comment has
been aroused by the raid made on the
Franco-American Parthenon club by
Inspector Tanguy of the Paris police.
The inspector says that he suspected
that various games of chance were in
operation there and declares he dis
covered that champagne was being
sold for SIS bottle and that orange
ade cost one franc a glass. The evil
dence, the inspector added, was suff-
cient to warrant the closing of the
club. Thirty men, including several
American officers, and ten women were
in the club when the inspector and his
men walked in on Monday night.
Baroness BraYlt, who presided over
the destinies of the club says that it
was merely literary and artistic Or
ganization. She is indignant over
various reports in circulation and de-
clares that the only purpose of the
club. was to entertain American Off
GERS.
