To show you how the Adamson law worked out we were entitled to overtime before the Adamson law was passed after the schedule of the train, which was 11 hours between Roseburg and Ashland. However, we had to take the 12V4 miles per hour schedule af ter the law was passed, which made us add thirty minutes to the schedule of the train, and we therefore lost ihlrlv minutes on the transaction. Many people believe we gained. We did gain by the law in helper, work train and switching service. Now we take for example an en gineer worked exactly eight hours and 26 days per month, and out of that he paid his expenses tor me trip.

These are all facts, and If you will look up what the plumber, carpenter, painter, linotype operator, and can dlestlckmaker receive per hour, you will find that It is a higher rate than an engineer or fireman receives.

A mighty bombardment of cheers greetea Marshal Foch when he steamed Into New York on the liner fans 10 su with the American "buddies" In the legion convention at Kansas City. (Br Associated Presai. NEW YORK. OcL 2S. General Pershing arrived today from England on the steamer George Washington. He arrived ahead of Marsha Foch, who arrived from Paris a few hours later. General Pershing was on hand greet the former commander of the allied armies upon his arrival iu this country. Marshal Ferdinand Foch might well be called the fighting professor. One of the foremost lecturers on military subjects In Europe, he has won honors on the' early battlefields of the world was and in its last year. as the supreme commander of an al lied force of 10,000.000 men, sue cssfully practiced the strategy he had preached so many years In the French War College. The morning of November 11, 1918, found 111 in a marshal of France sitting in his private car behind the lines, smoking his pipe and waiting in the unnatural calm that followed he husking of the big guns, the coni ng of the German envoys to ask for neace at the Allies' price. The pro- lessor s theories of strategy and mor al force in warfare had been vindicated. Foch fought in the Franco-Prus- lan war as a second lieutenant, as did Joffre. They were both born he south of France. Foch worked for the rest of his life with the shame and humiliation of that debacle In his mind. He studied the battle fields of that war until he knew them as well as his own backyard. He studied the German war machine. the psychology of Its leaders, the reasons for their mistakes and their successes. Later as a professor In the War college, he wrote text books on the conduct of war and the principles of war. He worked with enthusiasm and patriotic fervor to Indoctrinate the young French officers with the Principle of the offensive at all costs. Battles are won morally, as well as materially, he said, and he stressed the moral element in modern warfare. As a General commanding a force of 120.000 men, Foch found himself opposed by a German army of 200, 000 men at the first battle of the Marne In 1914. As the battle pro gressed aides rushed In to warn him both his wings were being push ed back. "We must attack In the center," said Foch. "Ordor up the Moroccans." The German center, composed of Prussian guards, the flower of their army, gave way under this unexpect ed onslaught and later airplane oo servation brought news to Foch of a gap In the German line. He push ed In a wedge of Infantry, supported hy heavy artillery, and dawn found the Germans In a panic and retrent. 4 SLACKER LIST Pl HUSHED 4 PORTLAND Oct. 28.

He started as a fire man on that system In Iowa at the ago of 19 years, fired five years and six months and then was promoted to the chief position in the cab.

The Inst triennial con vention of the organisation hero Inst June voted him a salary of $25,000 annually. William S. Carter. Nearly every fireman, whose live lihood Is derived from scooping coal or turning oil Into the furnaces of our niC'dern locomotives. Is familiar with the cnrmr of William S. t arter. president of the Brotherhood or Lo comotive Firemen and Englnemen.. He was born in Austin, lexas. Angirst 1 1. 1859. nnd his boyhood davs wero spent In western Texas, at that time a wild frontier country Up lo lelghteen years of ago he led the life of a typical cowboy. Two yenrs later he took his first Job ss a fireman on tho old Central Mont gomery railway. He worked In the small cab of this old wood-burner until November, 1880. and for tne hood, which position he maintained until January 1. 1909, when he was elocted president of the organisation, where he has continued ever since. On February 11. 1918. Mr. Carter was appointed director of the divi sion of labor of the United States railroad administration. W. O. Lee. W. G. Lee assumed the duties of president of (the Brotherhood o Railroad Trainmen, January 1, 1909, after fourteen years' service as a subordinate officer. Mr. Lee entered railroad service in 1879 as brake man for the Atchison, Topeka c San ta Fe, running out of Emporia, Kan sas. He afterward accepted employ ment on the mountalc division of that road at Raton, New Mexico, end while there was promoted to freight conductor In the latter part of 1880. He remained in that position, run-C ning betweon La Junuta. Colorado, and Las Vegas, New Mexico, until June, 1883, when he resigned to ac cept the position of deputy reglstrnr of deeds for Ford county, Kansas, and served In that position for about three and one-half years. At the ex piration of that time he re-entered railway service as Draneman ana switchman with the WabaBh. but af ter a few months' service with that company accepted employment ns brakeman with the Missouri racino at Kansas City. In 1891 he accepted service as brakeman with the Union Pacific at Kansas City, and five months later wai promoted to con ductor, which position he hold at tno time of hla election to the office or first vice-grand master, the duties of which position he assumed August 1. 1895. Lee's service on the mountain railways was performed undor pecu liarly trying conditions. At that time railroading was comparatively new In the mountains: air brakes, auto matic couplers and other aafety de vices now in effect were unknown. The country via filled with a law less. Irresponsible set of men, ana the terminals at which railway em ployes were forced to live were any thing but Ideal. The towns were new: the majority of the residents lived in tents, and the principal business was the running of gamb ling houses and saloons. Lee worked In this territory when the cowboy was supreme anad ruled things In his own particular way. At this time It was neccssury that one member of each crew have some knowledge of telegraphy. le, fortunately, had learned tho Morse alphabet and was regarded as something of an oper ator, and this knowledge served Its good purpose tn securing for blm very early promotion. During the three months that Ie was employed on the Raton mountain between Trinidad and Ruton he unloaded the first consignment of steol used in tne bridges that wore constructed to re place the old wooden structures that crossed the streams In that region. Hla railroad experience Included ovary class of employment In train, and yard service. He became a momber of the Brotherhood of Railroad Brakemen early In 1889 and at once became prominent In Its affulrs III his part of the rountiy. He served us local and general committeeman and legis lative representative for his lodge nnd wns a member of the committee that put Into effect the first working agreement for conductors, brs se men and yardmen on the Missouri I'acillc.
