Ford Dealers Not

w. E. Bills Of the Bills Auto Com
pany states that the new policy Of
Ford distribution is welcomed by his
company. Formerly Ford dealers were
restricted to their own territory In
making sales and this has lead to

Stockyards Workers
Threaten to Strike
Unless Given Hearing

CHICAGO, Dec. 12.-Eighty thou
sand stockyard workers are so dis
satisfied over the recent wage award
that they threaten to strike unless q
conference can be arranged at once
with the packers.
The workers had asked for an in
crease Of 81 to SO day and were
awarded about $25 in a lump sum by
Judge Aschuyler, who acted as
arbitrator. The award was an
nounced last week.
Discomfort is spreading and the
workers demand that the leaders
take action" said George Youstra,
secretary of the stockyards labor
council tonight.
"Only three trades received any
advance in the recent award. The
bonus provided. Is entirely inadequate
the men say. We will make one
desperate effort to get the three
councils together and arrange a con-
ference directly with the packers.
IF this fails fear that strike
may be the only alternative, much
as such a step is to be deplOred, es-
pecially at this time Of the year"
The men will hold a mass meeting
tomorrow night. They will be ad-
dressed by William 2. Foster and
John Fitzpatrick and the attorneys
who represented them at the hearing
before Judge Aschuyler
While most OF the men are dissat-
isfied, it is said, that many negroes
employed at the yards are even will
ing to accept a wage reduction in
view Of the fact tnat 100, 600 negroes
are out Of employment in this city.

| WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-One ii

fire which destroyed four fram
buildings in the psycopathic sectio
at Walter Reed Hospital today.
While the flames were at thei
height, forty patients suffering froT
shell shock broke away from order

fought with insane strength to Be

however. is not definitely determined
The one patient known to hav,
been burned to death was found
locked In his'room with the key mis-

It was near II o'clock when thu
cry Of fire went up, throwing thu
hospital with its thousand or more
patients into turmoil. Wounded sol.

psycopathtic wards to aid the sur

moving their craZed comrades from
the fire.
One insane soldier climbed to the
roof Of a burning building and the
combined strength Of six men was
required to get him down. Seventy
demented soldiers were removed
from the flames by force.
BY the time the district fire de-

buildings were doomed. The grounds
were covered with helpless patients.
To such extent did the difficulty

The firemen were able to prevent

MEETING CONDEMNS
FALSE STATEMENTS
ONFALL RIVER DAM
Water Users in Meeting
at Boise Draw Reso-
lutions Of Pro-
test

At meeting held at the Capitol
Boise, Idaho, representing 80 per
cent of the water users Of the state
Of Idaho, the following resolutions
were unanimously passed:
| WHEREAS, certain periodicals and
newspapers OF wide circulation have
published articles, relative to the
proposed Fall River Meadows Res
ervoir in the extreme southwest cor
ner OF Yellowstone Park, which are
grossly misleading and are based
upon assumed facts which are not
true but which have apparently been
furnished to the press by persons
who either do not know the facts,
or intend to wilfully mislead the
public, and;
WHEREAS, the data assembled by
the United States Reclamation Ser
vice relative to said reservoir has
been verified by the competent engin-
eer outside of such service, and by
other competent, reliable persons and
WHEREAS, no other feasible res
ervoir site can be found for the stor-
age Of such water outside the boun-
daries of the Park, and the proposed
dam would be only fifty feet high,
and the back water therefrom would
not even reach the falls which the
published articles state would be
submerged, and;
WHEREAS, the alleged meadow
that will be submerged by the res
ervoir is largely swamp covered in
parts by coarse swamp grass, insult
ed for feed for stock or moose, and
with few patches Of small jack
pines;
WHEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED
That we condemn as untrue and mis-
leading the articles so published, and
we endorse the efforts of the Sena-
tors and Congressman Of Idaho and
Of other western states in supporting
the bill for storing water for agricul-
tural purposes in the remote waste
regions OF the National Park, and be-
lieve that the proposed reservoir
will not only add greatly to the
wealth Of the country, but render the
Park itself more attractive and inter-
esting.

Local Pastor Returns
From Tour Of Coast in
Aid Of Famine Victims

(, Rev. J. d. Gillian has returned
from q trip to the coast where he
addressed a number Of meetings in
the cities of that section from Port
land to Seattle, on the Chinese FAM
inc situation. Rev. Gillian was re-
quested to do this work by a repres-
entative Of the great centenary move
ment. His residence in the particular
part Of China effected by famine at
this time, enabled him to present to
his audiences the situation practi-
cally from first hand viewpoint.
Starting with an address to the XII
wants Club of Portland, Rev. Gill;
Ian spoke to eighteen audiences in
nine days and his familiarity with
the provinces Of Chihle and Shang-
tung put his hearers in close touch
with actual conditions effecting the
civic, moral and religious conditions.
Rev. Gillian states that the great
Shantung province in addition to be-
ing the center of fire among diplo-
mats In the League Of Nations now
in session is also the storm center
of famine. In that section of China
there are six hundred and eighty
three inhabitants to the square mile.
The country depends entirely upon
rain and no rain has fallen for two
years. Transportation facilities are
very poor and while there are no
crops to move out Of the district this
condition hampers the relief meas
ures. 5s @
Approximately twenty million peo-
pie are In the famine stricken reg
ion and Of these the Chinese govern
ment will be able to help only ten
million. The ten million nearest the
source OF supply will be the ones
aided and the remainder will die
unless relief from some other source
is Forthcoming. The Chinese Govern
nient is bankrupt and at tue present
time japan is the only source Of fin
ANAL aid. Each loan that China pro-
c;.res from Japan .ightens fhe Japan
ese grip on the empire. China has
appropriated twelve and one half
million dollars for famine relief
which is about fifty cents to each
of the famine sufferers. Rev. Gilli-
Ian states further that the inhabi-
tants of whole villages have been
wiped out, entire families having
committed suicide.
In their extEemities the people are
selling their children which means
actual slavery for the little ones.
In China the father has absolute
control over his family, he may sell
or give away his wife or children
or may kill them as he chooses. News
dispatches Of the past few days have
carried the announcement OF Presi-
dent Wilson's appeal to aid these
famine stricken people.
