MAY CALL OFF MARINE STRIKE PORTLAND, Ore, May 7—Marine engineers have agreed to accept a 15 per cent wage reduction, accord- wire from New York this morning to General Man- ager A. F. Haines, of the Pacific Steamship company's Admiral line. Haines would not make public the text of his information. “The men have tied a string to their concession tn the way of nu- merous demands relative to working conditions,” he told the United Press. “It is hoped that these may be cleared up this morning, and that shipping may be released nationally. “Everything is ready to go on @ moment's notice, as far as the West coast is concerned. The deadlock over pay reduction was the major stumbling block, and with it out of the way we hope for momentary notification that the strike has been called off.” First information received at Port- land was to the effect that the ma. Tine engineers had agreed to return to work immediately at the reduced pay scale offered by shipping own: ers and the United States shipping board. On the strength of the first mes- sages, preliminary arrangements were made to clear several vessels from Portland and Seattle with full union crews. The shipping board's division of operations also scheduled two freighters, the West Ivan and the Pawlet, to clear from Portland immediately. News of the new working condi- tions demands of the men, however, caused a halt in all scheduling, and local operators, both private and government, are now marking time. eee !

Nothing changes this infinite love; beneath the gloomiest gal- lows tree will ever be found a mother’s love as steadfast as when the swaying wreck above was a cuddly babe at her breast. , Thru the tearing, briared brush of the southern ta a black mother has crept in the night to clumsily cut the tree where the mob had hung him, her boy, and to croon over him till dawn. There are few things left the sons of men that have the hall mark of their divinity still fresh upon them; most of modern things have been dom and her bodily com notwithstanding all this, valiantly treads the dim red lanes that border life and death, and there, wrestling with angels and demons, wrests another babe from chaos to life. No mere man has even started to plumb the depths of this divine we call motherhood, but today mere man | can take a gnoment and give reverence to the mothers of the world. There is only one thing and women will agree upon, and that is that each had, or has, the best mother in the world; each man knows that to be true, and whatever else he loses, he holds to his mother worship while he remains a man. When one considers that these mothers not only gladly suffer the pangs, and fre- quently the death, of childbirth without murmur, but that mothers give at least three years of their lives, of their pleasures, their freedom, and that countless women from their late teens to an hone of sete gore oinaldaring. thie and ers bestow always upon enantless, useless and forlorn, For woman, with her eyes open, know- ing what she is about, loving her free- fort; woman, wonder that that all men to each child offering. les many yn from sad story of Mary TWO CENTS IN SEATTLE ATE BARS JAP LAND FIRM The Love That Passeth All Understanding Tomorrow is Mother’s day, and we pause in the hurry of things to think for a moment on the glory of it, and to give thanks for the mother that blessed our youth, and inspired our maturity. And this Mother’s day we in Seattle have a rare opportunity to lay a lasting token on the altars of our love, for these are two mothers in Seattle who particularly need the burden lifted a bit that they and their little ones may breathe. You know the Graves with her five young children, and | Louise Bachtel with her nine, six of them under fifteen years. These mothers have given their lives since girlhood to their children; in a mo- ment their husbands ‘were taken from therm, leaving them without money, with- out close kindred, or friends who could help them, with a home unpaid for and with many little feet to be shod, many little minds to be schooled, many little mouths to be well fed, day after day, thru the years until they grow up and become part of the nation. That's too much of a load to heap onto even a martyr of a mother; we owe it to | the memories of the mothers that bore us—maybe some of our mothers fought the grim fight alone—to the decencies of society, to the charity that is greatest of all virtues, to these elemental good things of the soul we owe it, that these two mothers have the financial load lifted a bit, and be left with their stricken fam- ilies, free at least from the pressing, savage urge of hunger, So when you pause to give honor to the meniory/of the mother that has gone on before, or to give grateful remembrance to the mother living, just make your remembrance effective, worth while, something more than a sigh or a kiss, and include these two mothers in your free-will, thank MRS. MARY GRAVES, 6448 De- troit ave., left destitute with five children, four less than 6 years old, when her husband was killed by en unidentified speeding motorist April 20. Contributions for her re- Nef can be sent direct to her or to any newspaper. Efforts have been unavailing thus far to locate the driver of the death-dealing car. He killed—and ran away. The widow was left penniicas. Maybe you lived in a widow’s home, where there was never quite enough dessert to go round; maybe you know how hard the dollars come over the washboard; maybe, no man ever knows, your own wife and chil- dren may some day cling to the cold wall of circumstance, hoping for a friendly door to open somehow; maybe you know what these two mothers face. sadly rubbed and soiled, but motherhood, and the love of mothers, shine as brightly as when the first mother gazed out into the Pleocene black- ness and caught the image of the first man child.

During the absence of practically all men on a week's trip over the trapline, the camp, situated on a lake 40 miles north of Fort William, Ontario, was surrounded by a pack of 70 or 80 timber wolves, A great circle of bonfires was Nghted and for a time leaping flames kept the animals at bay. Soon they appeared to overcome their awe of the fires, and the ring of animals narrowed. Then the battle commenced. Some of the squaws, armed with a few rifles remaining in camp, opened fire on the leaders of the pack. As each wolf fell, its companions tore ft to pleces and devoured it. The squaws shifted thelr fire from point to point, picking off an animal here and there, and thus the advance of the wolves, who stopped to de- vour their mates, was checked. | When the ammunition gave out and the wolves began to draw In, an aged squaw offered to sacri- fice herself and was restrained only by force, Rut just as it ap- peared that the camp was about to be rushed, an Indian boy thought of some dynamite sticks kept for use in the lake when fishing was bad. A bundle of these was tied together with caps and fuse, and this was hurled into the midst of the wolves, who were rallying for a rush When the smoke of the ex plosion had cleared, 72 wolves’ ears were gathered upp represent: ing 36 animals, in addition to those shot and devoured by their ravenous companions, Chevrolet Car Co.
