Body of Dead Comrade

he endured on his fifteen hundred mile
funeral tramp, arrived here early to-
day with the body Of his brother-in-

ests, down rivers filled with rapids and
along trails in the Far North.

Secretary Davis Expected
to Intervene in Effort
to Prevent 100, 600 From
Paralyzing Ocean Trade

Conference Tomorrow Will
Seek Compromise; 6 De-
mands a Stumbling Block

The shipping interests here have
been given to understand that if they
do not come to an early agreement
with the 100 900 marine workers in the
dispute over wages and working cond'-
tons Secretary Davis of the Depart
ment of Labor will intervene.
The threat of the government to take
a firm hand in a situation that promises
to paralyze American shipping on the
Atlantic, Pacific and the Gulf on May
J. was made known yesterday by Win
throp L. Marvin, vice-president and
general manager of the American
Steamship Owners Association. Mr.
Marvin has just returned from Wash
ington, where he said he had been in
conference with several government
officials.
Crisis Explained to Hoover
Il was down in Washington on some
other matters" declared Mr.. Marvin,
land spoke to Admiral Benson, head of
the United States Shipping Board, Sec
rotary of Commerce Hoover and some
others in connection with the general
shipping situation. While we discussed
some of the details in connection with
the demands of the employees, the
matter of wages was not mentioned.
can say this, however, that the govern
ment expects and desires us to reach
an agreement before May /, when our
contracts with the men expire. If we
don't, | understand that the Depart
ment of Labor will intervene.
81 can say that the United States
Shipping Board, which controls four
sevenths of the vessels flying the Amer
lean flag, is in general accord with
our new proposals of wage reductions
and general working conditions for the
workers, and we have q substantial
agreement with the board as to these,
which is already generally known.
can see no reason why we can't settle
this matter, however, between our
selves"
The private shipowners are to meet
the engineers in conference tomorrow
morning at II Battery Place. The fire.
men, oilers and water tenders will con-
fer early in the afternoon, to be fol-
lowed later by the international Sea-
mems Union. The union leaders have
already emphasized their determination
to reject any wage discussion until the
six demands they have proposed, in
Guiding the sea service bureau, en-
forcement of the seamen's act and
preference given to union workers, are
first considered
With these details cleared up, it is
predicted that settlement would be
effected the coming week on the basis
of reduction of about Is per cent in
wages, as against the proposed 20 to
90 per cent cut, and some changes in
the working conditions, probably at
fectins the overtime question.

Geddes Appeals to Press
Asks Newspapers to Promote
Spirit of Peace in World

Sir Auckland Geddes told the mem
bers of the Association of Foreign
Press Correspondents in the United
States at a luncheon yesterday at the
Bankers Club that it was his opinion
that it was the duty of the press of
the country at the present time to do
everything possible to promote peace.
81 don't know he said, of any peo-
pie that wants to fight The people
really want to get back to peace and
prosperity and harmony, and one of the
first essentials is to get the people to
think in terms of peace and to under
stand one another.
Here, indeed, is a great chance for
the press to seize every opportunity to
promote the peace of the world. Ten
years hence-and ten years is very
little time even in the life of man
the war will be a dwindling memory,
providing-yes, always providing-that
the nations live in peace and in the
spirit of peace"

Leader i'm German
Aircraft Industry
Here on Business
Edmund Rumpler Says He'll
Inspect Motor Plants in
Air; Reginald Foster Ar
rives to Wed Frances Hoar

The Holland America liner Nieuw
Amsterdam brought to port yesterday
from Rotterdam and Boulogne 1909
passengers, 233 being first cabin trav-
elers.
Among the latter was Edmund Rump-
automobile and airplane works in Ba-
varia, who has come here on business
trip which will take him to the Pacific
Coast. He was met at the pier by q
sulting with them announced that he
would make known his plans some time
this week.
Rumpler, who is forty-nine years old
is regarded as one Of the most pro-
ILLEGALLY creative minds in the automo-
bile and aircraft business in Europe
He designed and built the irst automo-
bile in Germany, in 1897, and was
identified with that industry until the
outbreak of the war, when practically
all his efforts were directed to the Gre
alton of German airplanes for war serv-
ice.
He said he expected to inspect nearly
all the big automobile plants of the
country.
Another traveller was Reginald D.
Foster, of Boston, who has been at
tached to the American High Commits
sion in Berlin. He returned to this
country, he said. to marry Miss Frances
Hoar, granddaughter of the late Sena-
tor Hoar, of Massachusetts, and step
daughter Of Representative Frederick
II. Gillett, Speaker of the House.
Robert H. Ingersoll, the watch manu-
facturer, who had been in London eight
weeks, said England was suffering from
the evil of liquor and labor. The Eng
lish workingman, according to Mr. In
gersoll has been more or less on strike
for two years and, with 5000 "pubs"
open, it is difficult for him to do much
except get drunk.
G. Cornell Tarler, one of the secre
taries of the American Mission to
Vienna, returned to report to Washing
ton: He said conditions were exceeding
ly bad in Vienna and that outside help
would be necessary to put the inhabi-
tants on their feet.

tied as pianist and composer. The
middle number and the feature of the
performance was Mozart's Concerto for

nanyi both played the part for the solo
instrument and conducted from the

almost unearthly beauty, particularly
in the second movement. Mr.. DOH

BUILDING MATERIALS
WILL RETURN TO PRE-
WAR PRICES SHORTLY
10 Percent Reduction in
Wages of Members of Trades
Unions Seems Assured.

That the costs of building will he
down pretty well to what they were
| before the war when the ten per cent
reduction in the wages Of members of
he Trades and Labor Council unions
goes into effect May / seems to be as
sured after a survey of prices for ma
terials that enter into the construc-
ton of buildings.
Assurance has been given by the
representatives of labor that the cut
will be accepted by the organized
.rades Of PendIeton. A meeting will
be held tonight when definite action
Is expected y the plumbers and SandA
McLain. secretary of the council, said
today that the cut has been accepted
by other members of the council of
Pend!eton as it has been accepted at
tortland and over the rest of the state.
Fhe costs of some of the materials
ire down to about what prevailed be-
fore the war, according to business
houses. This applies to lumber anl
plumbing materials.
An instance of the reduction that
las taken place in the price of plumb
ne materials was given by leading
plumber of the city who took 4-inch
soil cast iron pipe as an example.
when / came to Pendleton ten
years ago, this pipe was selling at fifty
cents a foot" he said. To-day 1t is
selling at fifty-five cents foot and
this price is a reduction from ninety
five cents n foot which was the price
a year ago. Most of the reduction has
oeen made since January in the
plumbing line
Lumber prices have also been ad-
iusted until they are practically on a
level with the prices charged before
he war. according to lumbermen.
There is still slight bulge due to the
twenty-five per cent increase ir
freight rates which the final buye,
must pay. but prices are down. Prices
depend on the quantity of material ia
ken whether cash is paid and other
factors.

EFFORTS ARE RENEWED
TO HAVE AUTOMOBILES
ON BERMUDA ISLANDS

BERMUDA, April 27.--(A. P.)-
Renewed efforts to enact law per
mitttng the use of automobiles in Ber-
muda have been made this spring by
members of the Bermuda assembly.
These islands have held out thus
far against what is considered a dan.
gerous innovation" but there is a
strong party for rapid transit.
The chief opponents of automobiles
are American winter. residents and
tourists. Mrs. Vincent Astor, of New
York, who has been occupying a resi-.
dence on Hamilton harbor for the
past two seasons, sent a letter to the
local newspaper obiecting to their in
PRODUCTION on the island.
AS this colony has only little
more than 10 squire miles of area,
visitors do not regard motor transport
as a necessity. Since the island of
Nantucket admitted automobiles. this
is about the only civilized place from
which they are barred.
