Force Ship Lines to
Abandon Portland Port

Portland. Dec. 1--Withdrawal of
the Transatlantic steamers of three
English lines from this port during
the coming winter is threatened by
the managers unless there is a
speedy adjustment of the wage dis

men. Several conferences have been
held in an effort to induce the long
shoremen to accept a reduction of IL
cents an hour as wages for handling
grain.
They are receiving 81 an hour and
81 80 for holiday and Sunday work.
An agreement between the steamship
companies and the longshoremen ex-
pired Oct. ]. There are five big ships

FAR BETTER THAN NONE

n ARTISAN critics who raised a great cutlery against the admins
4 trations taxation program now show signs Of raising an equally
loud wall because of the partial failure Of the program in the tax
revision finally passed. II IS a fact that the bill is disappointing in
some features; but it carries a vast measure of relief and in times like
these half a loaf Of revision will be welcomed by the people as better
than none.
In spite Of the failure of the measure TO redeem the party pledges
10 take the wartime shackles from business, the revision will at least
bring relief from the excess profits tax burden next year, and many
persons of modest means will profit from the raising of the exemption
limit and the greater allowances made for dependents.
The revision removes several of the nuisance taxes, effects a
reduction in railroad fares by wiping out the transportation tax, and
by the limited application Of the production tax-the most desirable
form Of the sales tax-will furnish an experimental test Of that plan
which may prove advantageous.
The revision is a makeshift and falls short of the revision which
the nation expected. But because il affords some measure of relief
the public will accept il. The hackers Of the bill refused 20 accept
the presidents suggestions or TO pay heed to the warning that was
written between the lines. They were confused. if not frightened, by
the cutlery Of Legislation for the rich - and its effect upon their
political fortunes. Perhaps, as Senator Smoot said recently, a ma
jority in the congress misunderstood what the country wanted, as
well as what it needed. There will probably be a message to the
congress from the country both as to need and desire.
