0RECON|AN SUED
FOR DAMAGES BY
LEROY {. KELLEY

In a libel sui filed recently by LIE
Roy E. Kelley against the Oregonian,
a daily newspaper published at Port
land, Kelley asks for 100000 dam
ages alleging that an article appear
ing in the Portland daily, January 10,
1920, is "libelous, untrue and derog-
atory."
Keeley's specific charges against
the Oregonian are that in the issue of
January 10, 1920, he was subjected
to libelous Interpretation of a
speech made by him before the Port
land Labor Council, January s, 1920.
In support of his contention that
he has been grossly abused and libel
ed by a portion of the Portland press,
Kelley points out that all of these
papers gave full publicity to attacks
made on him because of his efforts
to force large numbering concern to
adequately remunerate widow whose
husband had been killed while in
the concerns employ.
The attorney finds cause for COM
plant against some members of the
Portland press for failure to give pub
licity to his suit against the Portland
daily.
Keeley in his complaint takes spec
ial umbrage at the assertions embods
led in the third and fourth para
graphs Of the Oregonian's article He
contends that the sinuendo of the al
legged libelous attack is found in the
following lines:
''Keeley wanted the council to adj
opt one of the major planks in the
platform of the un-American COM
munist labor party by amending the
constitution to prohibit any person
holding an elective or appointive Of
flee from holding any office in the
Central Labor council or from serv-
ing on any committee of the council.
According to the Labor Press
Kelley, by actual count, talked 32I
times in support of his motion, and
his address Is said by those present toI
have been as fiery and as surcharged
with radical ideas as were the most
radical orations of Joseph Laundy,
now under indictment for criminal
Gently deportea to Canada as an un-I
desirable alien; Floyde Hyde, now un-
der arrest as red, and others who
at times have led the radical forces on
the floor Of the labor council"
In regard to the Dibbern case, Kee-
ley asserts that the company had
made small settlement with the
widow on take 1t or leave it ba-
sis and that he took the case and
forced 1t to the point where a set
tlement had to be made He claims /
that the persecution to which he has
been subject was instituted in vic
ious attempt to retallate for his inter-
ference in the unfair situation.
Another paragraph upon which
Keeley leads up to his action for dam
ages, because of the alleged miscon-
struction Of the news source. is cap
toned by sub-head which reads |,
Motive is shown" The Portland at
torney alleges that this Is one Of the J
most vicious portions of the article,

Defending the work of congress in

Esch said there had been mo slack

said came before the house today
virtually seven months after the com

said that prior to government opera

earned dividends and paiu interest.
Private Failures Cited
During federal control 10S of the

Quarantine for influenza in Salem
until the present epidemic has been
stamped out is going to mean just
what the word implies and complete
| isolation of the disease is to be the
rule hereafter. This is the announce
ment made today by DR.. r. e. Pom
eroy, city health officer.
Backed up by instructions from the
police committee of the city council
issued following rumor s that the
quarantine of influenza cases was
not being strictly enforced, DIR. Pom
eroy is today placing absolute quar-
antine on all cases now under obser-
walton, as we'll as those heretofore re-
ported and which have not been re-
ported as cured.
Police Committee Orders
The orders of the police committee
instruct DIR, Pomeroy to place all
homes and other living places where
influenza exists under the strictest
quarantine and allow no persons to
break the quarantine existing on such
buildings The rules to be followed
will be the same as In the case of
smallpox and scarlet fever and are
based on the city ordinance covering
the isolation of contagious diseases.
The action of the police committee
comes as the result of complaints
and rumors that the quarantine has
not been enforced and that the con-
tinued prevalence of Influenza here
though In a mild form, is due directly
to the free coming and going OF per-
sons from the houses and rooms In
which influenza exists. Numerous
complaints have been made to mem
bers of the committee that persons
attending influenza patients at night
have been mingling freely with 9TH
er persons in offices, stores and 9th
er places of business during the day
and attending the theaters and other
places of amusement.
Fine Is Provided
The orders put into effect today
will make the breaking or influenza
quarantine an offense punishable by
fine of from SIS to 800, and will
be enforced to the letter. Additional
help to handle the situation Is being
recruited by DIR. Pomeroy and each
case will be taken care of as fast as
1t is reported. The quarantine period
will be from the time of incubation
to such time as the patient has full
ly recovered, probably from three to
six weeks. Aside from the attending
physician, no person win be allowed
to enter or leave the quarantined
premises. Before lifting the quaran-
tine in any case the premises are to
be thoroughly fumigated.
That the city has the full power to
enforce such regulations as are an
nounced today under the provisions
of ordinance 483, sections 2, and
IA, Is the opinion given today by n.
w. Macy. city attorney.
1t Is also pointed out in making
