SOVIET AGENT IS TOLD He
CANT STIR TROUBLE HERE

WASHINGTON. Dec. STA. P)-
So long as the Russian soviet govern
ment seeks to stir up insurrection
against the government of the United
States. its members resident here will
be subject to deportation, Secretary
of Labor Wilson said in a letter made
public by Charles Recht, counsel for
Ludwig C. Al X. Martens, soviet agent
in the United States, now under sent
ence of deportation.
While the secretary in his letter ex-
pressed the continued friendship of
the United States government for the
Russian people, he said that the evil
dence was cumulative and conclu-
sive that the military dictatorship of
Russia calling itself the soviet govern
ment. was appropriating large sums
of money TO stir up insurrection by
force of arms against the United States
1t was this which made

Lyday on and after tomorrow, except
where drivers can show that they have
filed with the secretary of state their
application for the 1921 license. The
new plates, green with white enumer-

year and all who have received theirs
from Salem are urged by the officer
TO display them. Owing to the usual
last minute rush at the secretary's Of
lice, many who applied late will not
have have their plates so receipt for
the application will be accepted.
Those who cannot show that they have
even applied for a license are threat
ened with detention, as provided by
the law.

Paving Max he Rcs,,mcl.

Paving operations on the north side
OF Pendleton probably VII be resumed
on Monday, City Engineer F b.
HAYES said today. Predictions of fair
weather led TO the belief that the
ground would be sufficiently dried out
by then to allow resumption of opera
tions after a two week shutdown due
TO snow and rain. There are about
two and half blocks of Mark street
yet to be paved including fill at the
east end, where It Joins Bush street.
The Warren Construction Co. wants to
pave over this fill when the other
blocks ON the north side are complet-
ed and guarantees that 1t will do a
permanent job, Mr.. Hayes says. I'M
less this can be done, the final esti-
mates on the five blocks along Mark
street would have TO be held up sew
eral months and the company could
not be paid for about S20,0 worth OF
work. One block on Madison street.
another on Lincoln. one on Logan and
two on Washington street are expected
to be ready for paving operations
shortly.

Bird Season Comes to Close.

The open season for shooting migra
tory birds closes this afternoon at sun
down, when the lid is clamped down
by the federal law. The season has
been open since September 16. dur
ing which time considerable numbers
OF ducks and geese have been shot. The
season, as whole. has not been ex-
|ceptionally successful for hunter, ow-
ing to the lack of cold weather to drive
the birds from the refuge ponds in the
west end of the county. With the clos
Ing Of the migratory bird season all
that is left for the sportsmans now is
hunting and fishing for unprotected
game and fish. Jackrabbits may be
hunted and steelheads angled for in
the lower river. New licenses, bearing
date OF 1921. will be necessary, how
ever.

which it had previously been announe-

HOW MANCHESTER DOES 1T

LNGL1SH workmen engaged in the
- building trades have perfected an
ingenious plan for assisting in solving
the housing problem in Manchester.
There is immediate need for 10000
| new houses in the city and 10000 will
bc needed In the near future. There is
labor enough to build them, but the con I.
tracing builders have no capital and
find il difficult to raise IL. The munich
pal corporation, however. has power
under the law to build houses and to
laise money to pay for them.
The plan now in operation provides
that the men engaged in the building
trades should form building guild and
should contract with the municipal cor
poration to put up houses at a price
equal to the actual cost plus 10 per cent.
The 10 per cent Is asked for not as n
profit. but to provide working capital
with which to buy wheelbarrows. scaf-
folding and other material necessary for
carrying on building operations. and also
TO provide fund out of which wages are
to be paid to outside workmen during
the time when they are pre.cnted by
weather conditions from working. 4
contract has already been let for 1000
houses, one half of which are to be COM
pleted within year, and arrangements
are making to let contracts for much
larger number.
The advocates of the plsn maintain
that il is likely to solve a most pcrplcx-
ing labor problem. for il insureS to the
workers six days work a week with pay
and it relieves them from dependence on
an employer. as each member Of the
building guild is his own employer.
Stripped of all complications. the plan
| is in its essentials system of CO.
operative contracting by labor. IL IL
succeeds its advocates are confident that
it will revolutionize not only the system
Of building, but all other systems Of in =
dustry. for they i:y IL operative
group Of carpenters. plumbers and
bricklayers can build houses, a CO.
operative group Of other workers can
build a ship or operate a mine or run q
| street railway system.
1t will be several months before it will
appear whether the plan can be made
TO work out successfully. Theoretically
! il sounds interesting. 1t is not adapted
however. to conditions that prevail here
! for the city has no power to invest
money in housing operations and there
is a strong sentiment against permitting
the city 30 engage in such enterprises
The problem here is how to find thu
capital and how to induce the city Il
co. operate with the builders by laying
sewers and water mains in the neV
streets on which new houses must b
built

II the suggestion that coal consumers

The reasons for this proposal are

supply cars sufficient ~ distribute a
years coal supply in six or eight

One Is the attitude Of North Carolina.

measure in Raleigh was accepted as a
political certainty: but il Delaware
