Of the hearing, with the evident pur-

in its purpose, and such big dominant
leaders among the lumber men of the
state as Mark E. Reed of Shelton and
Alex Poison of Hoquiam. with nu-
merous others stayed in the confer
enee and repudiated the action of the
others in walking out. Leading en-
ployers from the other industries re-
fused to be stampeded and also stay
ed in the conference, and many of
those who participated in the at
tempted stampede earlier in the morn

HARBOR VISITOR

Mr.. E. w. Simmons, one of the
Union Records representatives, stop
ped in Aberdeen yesterday. He is
touring the Pacific Coast states gath
ering special matter for that publica-
ton. He was much pleased with con-
ditions found on the Harbor, and
made special note of the building
boom of the past summer. While
here the controversy between the Sc
attle Central Labor council and the
American Federation was discussed
and he stated that it was his opin-
ion that a satisfactory settlement to
both sides would be reached. He said
that he thought that James Duncan
was the real cause Of the difference
and now that he (Duncan) had resign
ed from the council, that matters
could be adjusted.

POISONING PUBLIC MIND.
BY William G. McAdoo.

"The association of railroad
executives has engaged in a de-
liberate and organized propa-
ganda OF Justification for the
last three years about federal
control of the railroads, be-
cause it has realized that only
by poisoning public opinion
could 1t accomplish the selfish
purposes is has had in view.
1t would be interesting to
know how many millions have
been spent by the railroads on
false propaganda.
Every dollar of this illegiti-
mate expenditure has been paid
for by the people through in
creased freight and passenger
rates."

CONVENTION PLANS
PERFECTED BY THE
EXECUTIVE BOARD
oompers Party WIN Arrive In Port
land at 6:15 on Wednesday Morn
ing, September 26th.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 1S.-
All is In readiness for the annual con-
vention of the American Federation
of Labor beginning in Portland, Ore
gon, October first.
The executive council, at its meet
ing in New York City, concluded the
formulation OF its annual report and
made the last of the arrangements for
the big yearly sessions.
The report of the council will, It is
said, be one of the most voluminous
and important ever laid before con-
yention.
In accordance with custom no ink
ling of the contents of the report is
to be had prior to its presentation
to the convention, but it is safe to
forecast that no subject of national
importance is omitted. In fact, many
international questions are dealt with.
There will be submitted with the re-
port the findings Of important special
and standing committees appointed by
authority of previous conventions.
One of the important committees in
this class is the committee on educa-
tion.
Eastern delegates to the convention
will travel to Chicago over the Balti-
more & Ohio railroad and from that
point west over the Chicago, Milwau-
kee & st. Paul road.
Local Plans.
Convention headquarters in Port
land will be at the Multnomah hotel.
This will also be the headquarters
for the International Labor Press con-
vention. which will be held at the
same time.
Plans of the Portland convention
committee are fast maturing for the
entertainment of the delegates. It
was expected that the entertainment
program would be completed by this
time, but the committee desired to
give further consideration to sugges-
tions offered as the committee is 60
ing to give the delegates to the con-
vention a rousing welcome and pro-
vide entertainment for every moment
that delegates are at leisure. nothing
is being overlooked. 1t is probable
that no convention Of the Federation
has been held at which such complete
arrangements have been made by the
convention city as will have been the
arrangements made by the Portland
labor movement by the opening date
of the convention.
The convention committee is re-
eeiving requests for hotel reserva-
tions daily and requests for arrange
ments to be made for the comfort of
the delegates. Advance dope points
to great attendance of delegates
from all sections of the continent.
