(United Press) Flat rejection of the Adamson bill is being seriously considered by the railway switchmen in the Chicago yards. These men now have a 10-hour day, but a provision of their contract regarding the lunch hour results in their genarally being paid for 11 hours. The railways are discussing the advisability of installing three 8-hour shifts. This would take, gen erally speaking, three hours off of tho men s day and they seriously object to such a curtailment of their income, especially with the cost of living in creasing by le'.ps and bounds. Switching foremen gets 40-cents an hour. Theoretically they have a 10 hour day, but as has been said, in practice they are usually paid for 11 hours work, and make $4.40 a day. Under the three 8-hour shift system, they will get only $3.20 a day, and the difference makes a pretty serious hole in a mnn's income, especially if he has a family to support. Consequently the switchmen, who all along were willing to submit their demand for increased wages to ar bitration, seriously contemplate flat rejection of the Adamson bill on tho ground that it is inimical, instead of helpful, to labor. There is, of course, some question as to whether, Con gress having given statutory force to the Adamson till with its so-called 8-hour provision, the switchmen can reject its provisions and procure ar bitration of their demand for in creased wages, and that question is now being investigated by their leaders. More and more are railway men coming to wonder if President Wilson did not hand them a gold brick in his uncontrollable desire to gain the labor vote and promote his political for tuness by butting in to the contro versy between the railways and their employes, or at least the 20 per cent of them who are members of the four brotherhoods.

Largest Jewelry Store in Eastern Oregon By GEORGE CREEL Written For The Democratic National Committee. New York, Oct. 21. (United Press) tin this election nothing is so much at stake as the honor and self-respect of the men and women who made up the Progressive party. They banded in the name of humanity, raised the standard of social justice, and vowed their lives to the defeat of the sin ister, figures in control of the Repub lican party. What is the situation today? Roosevelt hobnobs with Taft and Root and Cannon, and Perkins, Rob bins and Everett Colby sit in coun cils with Penrose, Crane and Hitch cock. Behind Hughes is Wall street, the German-American Alliance, child labor exploiters, reactionary 'em ployers and every Tory influence that hopes to restore the days of Hanna ism. Search through the Republican platform, line for line, And not a single reference to Social Justice will be found. Read the speeches of Hughes and it will be seen that it is the humane legislation of President Wilson that he attacks most bitterly. Watch Hughes as he journeys from s.tate to state. In not one has he fail ed to consort exclusively with the tosses and reactionaries against whom the Progressives fought in 1912, even going so far as to ignore Hiram Johnson in California on the eve of an election. In his repeated declar ation, "I desire a reunited party" he betrays utter inability to grasp Pro gressivism as a spiritual revolt, viewing it as nothing more than the expression of disgruntled factional ism. The Progressive who goes back to the Republican party must crawl on his knees. He must recant his "luna tic heresies." He must swallow his condemnation of Cannon, Root, Hem- enway, Crane and Penrose, and ac claim them wise, good and all- power ful. In plain words, he must confess that he lied in 1912; in plainer action ho must admit that he is not a free American citizen, but achattel to be bound and delivered whenever Theo dore Roosevelt finds a price that suits.
