THE MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1920 JUL BILL VICTORY BRINGS STRIKE TALK Union Spokesmen Expect Di rsct Appeal for Veto. WAGE DISCUSSION BITTER Oonference in Hot Debate Attacks President's Settlement Proposal. Acceptance Is In Doubt. m WASHINGTON. Feb. Railroad labor is not satisfied with the way things are going over Its wage de mands. This was Indicated in eon- ferences today of union officials and general committeemen, called to pass in the president's settlement pro saX Passage of the railroad bill by tbe senate tonight only added more Ditterne&a to talk ol the union workers. Arrival of the committee chairmen -union leaders closest to the rank and file brought out strike talk. , Higher officers were inclined to dis count this evidence of the workers' reeling, but hotel lobbies bussed wi'Ji possibilities. There were Indications that the union heads who have dealt with Director-General Hines were worried lest all that had been accom plished might be wrecked. Commit tee chairmen spoke frankly of the sentiment in the local groups, de scribLig it thus: "Their temper is not such as to warrant us being optimistic." Veto Appeal ' Expected. Union spokesmen believed there was no way to avoid a direct appeal to the president to veto the Cummins Each measure. They declared it must be done to satisfy the workers who have not had a "clseup" of the situ ation. But as to hope that the legislation might yet be blocked, there was little expression. Labor's appeal to con gress having been rebuffed, some leaders were said to have assumed the attitude that the legislators were "trying to see how far they can go oy nagging us." Heaied discussions marked all con ferences of the 15 organisations Which met separately. None was able to finish examination of the documents transmitted between union officials, the director-general and the White House, as delegates continued to Insist on assailing "the unfairness with which congress and the govern ment has dealt with us." Prrsldeat's Proposal Attacked. The president's proposal is by no means sure or acceptance by the unions. It drew attack from various angles, according to 'information which leaked out of the secret meet- lr ps. The gist of the strike talk, as ex pressed by several union officers, was that the railroad organisations have reason to assert their strength through a walkout. Cut it was deemed inadvisable by them at least, tocirry out such a programme. Gne leader declared that the action of the brotherhood of maintenance of way employes and shop laborers in issu ing the recent strike call, had hurt the workers' cause materially. He characterized that sort of thing as "damning us in the eyes of the people." Leaders were confident of . their power to call a strike which would tie up all transportation, bat their attitude was that peaceable means should be employed If possible. Because of the dissatisfaction i their long haul rates so low that come a 'fcrrr'oT rights for labor, and Insured the employment of the power of the United States, when Invoked to safeguard those rights." Expressing disappointment that the conferees had eliminated the strike and compulsory arbitration features. Senator Myers, democrat, Montana, declared this was necessary in order to get railroad legislation enacted by March L. Senator Myers attacked or ganised labor for its attitude toward the railroad bill and other measures. "Organised labor Is the greatest menace before the country today, he said. "Mr. Gompers in some respects is the most powerful man in the United States more powerful than the president The president can veto bills, but he can't prevent tneir pass- age. Mr. Gompers can.

The bill was opposed by Senator Plttman. democrat, Nevada, wno pre dicted that "turmoil and chaos" in the industrial world would follow rInM nnnn Its enactment. "I think it would be far better," he said, "to return the roads with' out any legislation than to return rh.m with legislation framed to meet a political expediency. I am opposed tn government ownersniD. ana i iw lieve if there is anything that will bring government ownership it passage of this bill. It throws on the government all the responsibility and liability and at the same time deprives the government of any right of ownership." Evil Declared Perpetuated. Senator Plttman raised against the bill the old issus arising out of the long and short haul clause of the Interstate commerce act. "This bill perpetuates an evil that has resulted in discrimination against every interior community in the United States," he said. This bill will allow the railroads to charge more for hauling freight to Reno, Nev, .to Salt Lake City, to Spo kane and to Albuquerque, N. M., than they charge for hauling freight clear through and past these communities to the Pacific coast. That is an In justice that we should never allow.' That condition does not arise out of the bill," Senator Poindexter, re publican, of Washington, Interrupted him. "but does arise out of existing law.' Senator Plttman retorted that It the representatives of the interior cities would hold up the passage of the general bill, their grievance might be remedied in the interstate com merce act. Senator Poindexter, one of the sen ate conferees on the bill, in further reply to Senator Plttman said it was the only piece of legislation brought up since 1910 which in any fashion met the long and short haul discrimination. Rates to Be Limited. Railroads will not bs allowed to make lower rates for long hauls than they do for short hauls over the same distance on the ground that they have to meet potential water competition at coast-lines," he said. This bill stops that. There is a second point which will aid the in terior communities. Railroads are 'orbidden under this measure to make BROTHERHOOD F GH T .which permeated all meetings, most of the Individual organisations prob ably v ill not complete the formula tion of their views of the settlement proposed for several days. Union officials who conducted ne gotiations with Mr. Hines were called together tonight, but the nature of the conference was not revealed. RAILROAD BILL PASSED (Continued From First Page.) that some roads would earn not more than 2 per cent. "With respect to the labor provl- slons of the conference report," Sen ator Cummins added, "I am utterly unable to understand the opposition which they have aroused among labor leaders, for they leave all free men, whether employes or employers, to do whatsoever they please at any time, at any place or under any circum stances." Senator Cummins said that 11.250, 00.000 had been appropriated for ex penditure by the railroad administra tion. "We are now appropriating 1500. 000.000 more," he said, "and before ' the close of the present fiscal year we will be compelled to make an - other appropriation of not less than $400,000,000. in all $3,160,000,000. Of this vast sum, it is expected the rail roads during the next decade will pay to the government of the ad vances so made sums which in the aggregate will reduce the govern ment's expenditures to something like $850,000,000 and this will represent the loss Incurred In two years and two months of government operation. "The amounts I have given you are government estimates and do not in clude claims asserted by the railroads and denied by the railroad admlnls . tratlon." ! Labor Protected, Be gaya. ' Senator Robinson, democrat, Arkan 'aa, one of the conferees and author -of the anti-strike provision of the 1 .senate bill, which was discarded in ( conference, reviewed the measure at 'some length, dealing particularly with the labor situation. The labor provisions, fairly con strued, do not justify the assaults made upon them," he said. "This is not a government of labor organlsa 0 tions. It must not be perverted in character, so as to become the means of denying rights of justice to any class of law-abiding citisena" He added that "this measure be- HE DARKENED HIS . GRAYJAIR TcQa How He Did It. Mr. J. A. McCres, a well-known i resident of San Francisco, who was . called Daddy and Grandpa on account of his white hair, and who darkened it with a home-made mixture, re cently made the following statement: "Anyone can prepare a simple mix ture at home that will darken gray hair, and make it soft and glossy. To a half-pint of water add 1 ounce of bay rum, a small box of Barbo Com pound and 'i ounce of glycerine. These ingredients can be bought at any drug store at very little cost. Apply to the hair twice a week unUI the desired shade Is obtained. It does not color the scalp. Is not sticky or grew and does not rub off." AdT, they don't meet the actual out-of- pocket costs of rendering the service. These two things will go far towards mitigating the evil of which the sen ator from Nevada justly complained." Senator Gronna,' republican. North Dakota, said his opposition to the bill was based- on the rate-making sec tion and the labor provision, the lat ter being, in his optn-ion, unfair to labor. Senator Overman, democrat. North Carolina, expressed the belief that the rate making section was uncon stitutional. Senator Williams, democrat, Miss issippi, asserted that while there were several things In the bill which he did not favor, he believed it to be essential to return of the rail roads to private control. LABOR - PARTY WANTS VETO Additional Outlay In Fares and Freight Rates Seen in Bill. CLEVELAND, Feb. 23. Max H. Haves, national chairman of the labor party of the United States, today in a telegram to fresiaent wnson pro tested against the proposed Cummins- Esch railroad bllL He denounced the measure as legislation to benefit spe cial interests, and demanded a presi dential veto. Declaring he spoke not only for organized labor but -for the public Mr. Hayes assailed those features of the bill which he said guaranteed i all way owners revenues. Adoption of the bill, he said, would place on the people the burden of another bil lion dollars in Increased passenger and freight rates. Social unrest, he asserted, was fed by popular resent ment of a congress which repre sented not the masses but "a few groups of financial monarchists." Mr. Hayes declared that the labor party undoubtedly would put in the field a full presidential ticket as wen as congressional tickets. "There is no doubt that the people demand a labor party," he said. "The old parties have failed. The national labor party's convention probably will be- held in Chicago tn June."

AJiOVaVS siaauu ea la be Me, OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Washington, Feb. 23. Efforts on the part of the railroad labor organiza tions to defeat the Esch-Cummins bill in the senate proceeded -today, but with much less steam than the fight was made in the house last Saturday when the opposition was simply crushed. Leaders of the railroad brotherhoods looked jilscouraged today and they were truly disheartened. It became known, however, that their depres slon was not alone due to the be wildering defeat administered by the house two days ago. There was an other and more painful reason for their being crestfallen. It has leaked out that a very large element In the railroad workmen themselves have become strike-weary. The radical leaders, who some months ago embarked the brother hoods on a policy of bolshevism, fol lowing the path marked out by Glenn E. Plumb, author of the Plumb plan, have been hearing from the rank and file who say that they are satisfied with good wages and improved work ing conditions. This conservative element, which is strong in the brotherhood membership, has let the leaders know that they have no de sire to confiscate the property. All iney aesire is a cnance 10 wori auu earn a full days pay. White House Target of Fight, The fight on the Esch-Cummlns bill now Is to be directed solely at the White House, but no one could be found today who believed that the president will veto the measure. It was even said by some of the leading democrats in congress that both Mr Wilson and Director General Hines like the measure, regarding it as strong, constructive legislation. - And Mr. Wilson also Is said to be weary of the constant threats of the railroad brotherhoods and Intent on signing the bill soon after it reaches him. The fifteen organiza tions of railroad workmen met here today, but their leaders were not so cocksure as on other occasions. In fact, they looked crestfallen. In scan mng the rollcall of last Saturday's ouse vote they sound that many for mer tried-and-true friends had de serted them, men who voted for the Adamson bill and heretofore have upported every other piece of legis lation asked by working men. Former friends of the railroad workmen deserted them when it was seen that the opposition of the rotherhoods was not aimed at any particular features of the bill. Two Purposes Seen. In the fight of the brotherhoods on he Esch-Cuinmlns measure, old sup porters could see two purposes; first to defeat the bill and force the gov ernment to retain control of the rail roads for two years longer; second, to defeat the bill and have the rail roads go back to the owners without legislation, which would mean their certain collapse and thereby discredit private ownership.- The brotherhood leaders realize that they cannot force the private owners to pay wages in excess of the ncome of the roads. The govern ment has done that for more than two years. The public, which after all. must pay the excess wages, will ot expect the private owners to ne gotiate with the workmen on the basis that Uncle Sam has been deal ing with them. Another development is that the Plumb-plan league has not gathered the strength that was promised by its founders. It is noted that al though Mr. Plumb has always spoken membership of 2,000,000, the headquarters of the league bas given out no figures to show that the league has even one-third of that membership. It is understood- that only 600,000 of the 2.000,000 men em ployed on the railroads have joined the Plumb-plan to sovletize the rail road industry. ' World Raps "Bussing- Minorities." The New York World, democratic, in its leading editorial today, took sharply to task those democrats in the house who voted agains the Esch-Cummins bill; taking as its text a statement by Vice-President Mar shall that "buzzing minorities" as rep resented by certain active lobbies cause too many in Washington to take fright. The World said: "When the house of representatives passed the railroad reorganization bill, 249 to 150, it gave one of these buzzing minorities to understand that for the moment It was not to be frightened. Some direful predictions had been made as to what would happen if the demands of the railroad brotherhoods for government ownership were un heeded. There might be nation-wide strikes. In any case, every man who opposed the edict of the lobby would be marked for life. "Illustrating once more the intel lectual insolvency of the democratic party. It Is to be noted that of the congressmen who opposed the bill and practically arrayed themselves in favor of a railroad soviet, 125 are classified as democrats. To a meas ure, which served notice on Lenine and Trotzky that their system is not wanted here, considerably more than one-half of the party membership lis tening only to the buzzing, openly de clared their hostility.'' house bill, would remain at Its, pres ent strength of 800 men to ear, con gressional district, but tn measure would provide more leniently "for or ganization of companies. Until July 1, 1921, the enlisted strength of a company fr federal recognition would be fixed at 50 men and after that at 65. Enlistments would be for one or three years. To obviate tbe situation arising at theh end of the war when discharge of the stai troops from the army lfet th states without a militia, tbe biU yrovldeie that under similar cir riMStances. - discharge by the federal government leaves the guard subject to state call, unless decided to the contrary by state authorities. Aviation, under the bill, would be In charge qC a major-general, with loOO officii, ranking from second lieutenants to colonels, and 16,000 men. The tank corps would be made an infantry arm, nd th" chemical warfare srvlce would be a separate corps, comprising 90 officers and 1500 men.

"Is America to Be Rehabilitated oy New Brand of Hyphenated Amer icans?" Asks Vice-President. NEW HAVEN, Conn, Feb. 23. Associations and individuals seeking to enlist the government in aid of their-activities, were warned tonight by Vice-President Marshall, speak ing before the chamber of commerce, that they should take care not to claim privileges which would create grievances. "The war disposed of the hyphenat ed German-American at an awful price," Mr. Marshall said. "Is Amer ica to De rehabilitated by a new brand of hyphenated Americans? Is the re habilitation to be turned over to New E n g 1 a n d-manufacturer-Americans, agricultural - Americans, Federation of - Labor - Americans, Protestant Americans, or Catholic-Americans?" "Present your claims to congress solely from the standpoint of an American interested in the general welfare of the country. Let nothing in the way of personal interest, pri vate advantage or class hatred suc ceed in pulling you down from the high position of an American." Discussing intolerance, he declared: "One of the manifestations of pa ranoia is a fixed conviction that the victim is right and that everybody not agreeing with him is his per sonal enemy. Paranoia may be caused by shell shock. Have the thunderings of the cannon in Eu rope reverberated across the Atlantic and caused men in America to suffer shell shock and paranoia? .

Reports of Alienists on Mental Con- dtion of Loren Roberta Ex pected to Be Made. JUGQSLAVPREMIER STAYS NEW MINISTRY CONSIDERED AS COALITION CABINET. Government to Continue in Power Only So Long as Adriatic Ques tion Remains Unsettled. WASHINGTON, Feb. 23. M. Protich again has been named premier of the Jungo-Slav cabinet, the legation of the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes was officially Informed today in & cable from Belgrade. The new ministry, it is understood, has been formed from the 20 or more political groups of parliament, and is in a sense a coali tion cabinet. The new cabinet from all advices is only temporary and is expected to continue in power only bo long as the . Adriatic question remains un settled. No elections having taken place In Serbia since 1913, the Serbian parliament has been depleted as a result of the Balkan and world wars. No elections have taken place in Croatia or Slovenia and delegates to the Belgrade parliament from Croatia and Slovenia have been selected arbi trarily by national councils in these provinces. For these reasons tnere nas Deen much agitation for dissolution of par liament and election of new members. Refusal of M. Vesnich to form a new cabinet, following the resigna tion of Premier Davidovitch last week was said to have been due to his disinclination to assume power until the legislative assembly had been dissolved. Advices, however. have Indicated that the government considered it unwise to order a new election until the Adriatic question was settled. MONTESANO, Wash., Feb. 23. Re sumption of the trial of the ten al leged I. W. W. here on a charge of the murder of Warren O. Grimm, Centra 11a Armistice-day parade victim, was expected to begin tomorrow morning with one of the alternate jurors sit ting in the place of Edward Parr, who will be discharged because of be ing stricken with influenza. Court has not convened since last Thursday, Illness of Parr causing a suspension of the sessions. Selection of an alternate will be made at the opening of court tomorrow, such se lection to be by lot, the clerk to draw the name from the jury box. Judge John M. Wilson has said that there would be no more delay. He would have discharged Parr last Fri day or Saturday had he known his Illness would have been of more than two days' duration, he said yesterday. Insanity Plea Is Expected. Upon resumption of the taking of testimony it was expected that de fense counsel would begin Its fight for Loren Roberts, one of the ten de fendants, for whom a plea of insanity has been entered. Alienists, it is un derstood, will be the principal wit nesses placed on the stand in an at tempt to prove this contention. The prosecution has announced that it will resist such defense and also has obtained the services of alienists. Six of the ten defendants rebelled today, refusing to eat the breakfast placed before them and throwing the food and utensils Into the jail corri dor. They were punished for the dem onstration, it was said at the county Jail. The six recalcitrants were: El mer Smith, Bert Bland, O. C Bland, Eugene Barnett, John Lamb and James Mclnerney. Solitary Confinement Given. Jail officials said the six prisoners were- satisfied with the food, but threw It away just to show their con tempt for the prison rules. Before be ing: placed in solitary confinement the men were made to clear the corri dor of tbe food and utensils they threw out. The new Juror will be either A. R. Johnson, Hoquiam, or James A. Ball, Montesano, alternates selected to serve in case of illness among the perma nent jurors. The selection will be made by lot.
