&OLV1N.U THE LABOR PROBLEM
QaleMi, without fuss or feathery
the administration at Washington i0
going about the solution or the labor
orobl^ai* that have arisen in all
parts of the country. The latest evi
dence 0' the activi'y of the Presi
dent sad his advisors is found in
the summoning to Washington of
the sai'j builders. An apparent
deadlock between employers ai.J
iheir workmen had been reached. X
thing snort of a test of strength
seem*, rl likely to bring relief. The
federal shipping board with its ears
to the grouud, heard the rumbling
and wr»uglincs. Builders were ask
ed to visit .Washington for a con
ference. The threatened strike is
ju abeyance—and there it, every pre s*
l>ect t>a' a peaceful and business
like solution of the difficulty will
bfe had. .u
There was mor© noise when the
President took similar actiou a
few months ago in connection with
the fareatened railroad strike, but
the troubles were adjusted and no
strike occurred. Similarly in num
erous other lines of industry. The
need of the nation, at the present
moment U of more imDortance than
the mere question of wfco shall
dictate terms of peace—labor
peace. The President stand* for a
getting together and a pulling to
gether—and he is seeing to it that
these things are done.
WHAT 1*URT Ol'EKATKS ITS
OWN* SHU'S
Judge Burke thinks that as a
community we should build or pur
chase and operate our own, ships.
What other port does that? Why
should any port do it, so long as
ships will never fail to go where
it is profitable for them to go?
This business of putting the pub
lic into a shipping enterprse in
.which private capital will not en
gage, because the conditions are
such that it •will uot pay, is like
one trying to lift one's self over '
the fence by tugging at his own
footstrapa ,
The first steps for the develop- 1
tnent of this port are steps of pre
paredness. Go after trade, make
it tributary to this port, make the 1
port facilities what they should
bj> for the reception, and dispatch- 1
ing of ships and the loading and un- 1
loading of cargo. Mix into the
game of railroad politics, not for- :
getting that the use of the river 1
ts the best card in the hand. Do '
cil I that we can to encourage the
lndustriee that are here, and to (
bring others that are not here, j
Tackle every problem and seek i
to bring at>out every condition that I
■will make It profitable for ships to i
come to this port, and they yill 1
corner , • ' i '

Portland and the Columbia river re- s

One of tho uses to which it is
oroposed to devote part of the
proceeds of Liberty Loan Bonds is
to afford to our soldiers and saii
jra life and indemnity; insurance
and to provide for allowances to
their dependent families while they
ire in, the ranks. On this point
Secretary McAdoo of the Treasury,
whose plan of insurance for our
fighting m«i was endorsed by
President Wilson and is now em
bodied iu a law pending before Con
gress, says:
"Kvery soldier and sailor who
serves his country iu this war will
earn everything the proposed war
insurance bill provides; to be a
beneficiary of the proposed law will
be a badge of honor.
"When we draft a wage earner,
we call uot only him but the eutire
family to the flag; the sacrifice en
tailed is not divisible. The wife
aud children, tho mother, the fath
er, are all involved iu the sacrifice
they Jiretly bear the burden of
defense. They suffer just as much
as the soldier, but in a different
way, and 'he nation must generous
ly discharge as a proud privilege
the duty of maintaining them until
the soldiers and sailors return
from the war and resume responsi
bility.
"Ws have drawn me swum w

to rostoie peace and justice, and Ic

cannot permit our soldier#,
while ;fcey hold 'he front to
stabbed iu the back by uncertainty
as to what is being done i-?
their loved ones at -om^. Our to
morrows are in their hands—theirs
in ours. The national conscience
will not permit American soldiers
and their dependents to go unpro
vided with everything that a just,
generous and noble people can do
to compensate them for the suf
ferings and sacrifices they make
to *erve their country."
BELG1A.NS MAKE DARLNG
RESCUE IWDEK HOT FIRE
Havre,—A tragic aero combat
was fought on the afternoon of
September 9, above the Belgian
trenches, along the railroad jirom
Xieuport to Dixmunde. A British

several men from a Belgian regi
ment, determined to lend aid, crawl

aircraft. Both aviators were found
dead. The Belgians brought iu'
o»q of rhe bodies and returned a I
few hours later for the other.
Thej: sajy the Germans robbing !

The lapid-fire guns resumed their
shelling of the spot where the ma

the less succeeded in bringiug to
their trencUA. the body of the other
Britisher.
WIND STOKM DEMOLISHES

Oue of the worst rain and wind
storms of the season visited Cor

this morning the wind attained its
jreatest velocity, and blew in the
south side of the new apartment
