NORTHWEST TO , AID ROOSEVELT, STOKES CLAIMS F. D. R. to Carry Area Despite Townsend Plan, Labor Trouble. BY THOMAS L. STOKES Time* Special Writer SEATTLE. Wash., Feb. 17.—The Pacific Northwest Is afflicted with Furious political and economic sores, the most virulent spots being the Town-send Flan and the shipping and lumber industries. 1 have encountered the Townsend Plan in numerous places from coast to coast, but nowhere have I found the fervor so high a pitch as in I Washington and Oregon. <1 have not yet visited California.) Business men dare not raise'their vovic cin criticism—and privately confess it—lest they offend customers and drive them away trade; a nervous hysteria grips politicians, who duck, evade and sidestep or jump on to the band wagon; many newspapers let she issue alone. Symptomatic is the attitude of a barber in a small town who regards the Townsend Plan as a delusion, hut who nods acquiescence when his customers mumble its praises as the scissors snip. The Townsend Plan Is out in the open. Not so noiy is the discontent in the lumber and shipping industries. Silting on Dynamite They are grumbling at the Roosevelt Administration, the lumber men because of the reduction in the Canadian tariff by the reciprocal trade treaty, the shipping men because they say th'* Administration favored labor in the longshoremen’s strike settlement and failed to make laboi live up to the terms of the arbitration agreement ending the 1934 strike. "We are sitting on a dynamite keg,” said one shipping man who has participated in strike settlements over a long period of years. Everywhere you hear another strike predicted. Shipping is a sick Industry. Much of its ordinary business was diverted to the railroads by the strike and has not come back. Shipping men complain of petty annoyances from their workers, tying up ships on "no provocation.” For the first time, no passenger line links this city and San Francisco. Blame Miss Perkins They blame Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins, known here as •Madam Queen.” There are also persistent rumors of another strike in the lumber industry, now about 50 per cent unionized, but one man who keeps his finger on the pulse of the industry told me that he believes it will not occur—largely because the workers have not recovered from the $7,000,000 wage loss of last summer's strike, by which they won a 5-cents-an-hour increase. Figures on the lumber industry’s plight were shown me by J. B. Fitzgerald of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, who said by the reciprocal treaty, which cut from $4 to $3 the tariff on admission of 250,000.000 feet ayear, was just the last of a long series of incidents injurious to the lumber industry. Workers for Roosevelt British Columbia made inroads into Ami rican markets through preferences granted by Great Britain in the Ottawa inter-dominion preferential agreement, he explained, and later moved into’ the Chinese and Japanese market. He cited British Columbia’s lower ’ wages and the higher charges by American shipping companies, due to wage increases from the longshoremen's strike. This, he said, has been a factor in British Columbia capturing markets along the Eastern seaboard, since lumber .shipped there from Washington and Oregon must by law go in American ships. Despite general industrial and business complaints at the New Deal—especially its labor policies—the opinion of informed persons here is that President Roosevelt should carry both Washington and Oregon in November. The rank and file of workers and farmers are still for the President, they say. Two Danis Being Built These two states are much beholden to the Now Deal. Aside from benefits to farmers—the largest, economic unit in both states—and relief money, the government is building two gigantic power and irrigation projects. Bonneville Dam in Oregon and Grand Coulee Dam in Washington. Both projects are criticised outside the states, but very little within their borders. Grand Coulee is attacked on the ground that there would be no market for power generated there, but one Seattle business man who condemns most New Deal experiments praised this project highly. The project, he said, is for irrigation, not power, and will provide lands f or hundreds of farm families driven from worn-out acres elsewhere in this region. There is one "if” in the situation here as regards President Roosevelt, and that is the Townsend Plan. If a third party were formed, the Townsend Plan might draw enough ''supporters to throw the election to a Republican. But it is the general belief there will be no third party. OARP Playing Havoc The Townsend issue is playing havoc in other political contests, however. Washington's state treasurer, Otto A. Case, a Republican until he jumped over to the Democrats in Bilious Spells In bilious spells, one of the first things to do is to take a dose of Black-Draught to relieve the attending constipation. You can rely on Black-Draught whenever a laxative is needed. Mr. T. L. Austin, of McAdenville, N. C.. tells of having used BlackDraught for a long time. "There is a box full on my mantel, now,” he writes. "I take it for biliousness. If I did not take it, the dullness and j headache would put me out of busif ness. It is the quickest medicine to relieve me.” Black-Draught is purely vegetable. It is one of the most economical laxatives. Sold in 25-cent packages containing 25 doses, BLACK-DRAUGHT

COUNCIL DUE TU GET AMENDED TAXI BILL Measure May Be Reported Out Tonight. The amended taxicab ordinance is to be reported out of committee at the City Council meeting tonight, Dr. Silas J.

Dr. Carr's committee has been studying the ordinance which provides for cruising and new rates of 10 cents for the first mile, 15 cents for the first mile and one-half and 55 cents maximum rate within the city. Ordinances providing for lawful, peaceful picketing and increase in pay for firemen and policemen will not be reported out of the safety committee, Dr. Carr said.

Pennsylvania-st. and establishment of a taxi stand at 1033 Prospeet-st. Fire Damages Stone Mill By United Press BEDFORD, Ind., Feb. 17.—Damage estimated at $25,000 was caused by a fire which destroyed the Donnelly mill of the Indiana Limestone, Inc., yesterday. '32, has announced he will seek the gubernatorial nomination against the Democratic incumbent, Clarence D. Martin, on a Townsend platform. Several reasons were given for the wildfire spread of the Townsend Plan in the- Pacific Northwest. One ivas the nearness of California, the plan's birthplace. Another was that many older people were stranded in once thriving lumber towns when the industry moved on elsewhere and are destitute. Also, the glaring fact that older men are not able to get jobs has been driven into the public conscience.

Harold Van Orman, former Lieutenant Governor of Indiana and prominent hotel proprietor, and Miss Harriette Hodgini, 20, circus equestrienne, were marriea last fall, they announced today, three months after they told every one that the report of their marriage was a circus press agent’s stunt.

Mrs. Eleanor Hodgini, mother of the circus star, reported Mr. Van Orman and Miss Hodgini were married in Macon. Ga., Nov. 7. Miss Hodgini, who was born at Baraboo. Wis., is a member of the famous English circus family of that name which for 106 years has been prominent under the "big top.” Both the young woman's parents were stars.
