FEDERATION MAY BE JOINED Southern Pacific Officials Believe . Possibility of Key Men Walking Out w With Trainmen Remote Because of Order's Rules SAN. FRANCISCO, Aug. 4. (Special.) The strike situation. o far as It af fects the Southern Pacific and the Order of Railroad Telegraphers, took a de cided turn today when the general com mittee of the telegraphers, which has been in session here for some time, de cided to adjourn Friday to Los Ange les, where a big meeting of division 53 of the order will be held on Saturday. At this meeting will be discussed what the telegraphers term the dilar tory tactics of the railroad in the ne gotiations over the schedule of wages first considered by the men and the company on April 22. The men wilj also consider, the advisability of Join ing the Federation of Labor. The telegraphers are the first of the "big five" in railroad organizations to discuss Joining the federation and if the move is made, it will be an Impor tant one In labor circles. John E. Cowgill, general chairman of the com mittee, and E. J. Manion, vice-presi dent of the order, will accompany the committee to Los Angeles, where it is expected 130 delegates will meet. The. general committees of the con ductors, trainmen and engineers and firemen held separate meetings today, but had nothing to announce. They will continue to hold daily meetings until the mediators arrive from Wash ington, but "do not believe any develop ments, will arise which will call for de cided action before that time. The telegraphers will continue to meet with the road and as an individual commit tee until the temporary adjournment to Los Angeles Friday. The three general superintendents of the Pacific system of the Southern Pacific Company, H. V. Piatt, of Los Angeles. D. W. Campbell, of Portland, and J. M., Davis, of San Francisco, con ferred today In the Flood building with sl committee representing the Order of Railway Telegraphers. The company believes that because of certain re quirements of the order, the possibliity of the telegraphers walking out with the trainmen is remote enough to be impossible. father-in-law of 'Dr: J".

He was unconscious two hours and had never fully recovered until heart disease took him off. He was 66 years old and came here seven years ago with his wife and daughter, Mrs. F. D.

Structure, on East Side Later May Be .- Purchased" and House ' ' Municipal Shops. ' Portland's first municipal . garage will be a reality- soon. At an infor mal meeting yesterday the City Com-: mission approved the plan recommend ed by .Purchasing Agent Wood to ac quire a central garage, where all au tomobiles and motor vehicles owned by the- city, except those used by po lice and. Are - departments, shall be kept. - .. The , first municipal garage- will be in the four-'story brick building at East First and Madiso street, owned by S. Jj. Brown, if Mr. Brown will agree to some minor changes protecting fbe city's rights more .thoroughly in the terms of the lease. The Commission decided to lease the entire building for one year at ouu a month, with the privilege of renewing for two years at the same rate or of purchasing the property for $85,000. The city,' by. the lease terms, would also have to pay taxes, amounting- to aoout 3o a month. This led Com missioner' Brewster, to remark that he intended to bring action in court to see if there is any legal means by which the county could remit taxes on property leased by the city. The city owns-approximately 70 au-tomobil-ea and motorcycles. Some of the Apace ia building-.probably will be leased out by the pity for a time until various- municipal repair shops are located there. ...... OIL HOLDINGS ARE SOLD Something JIust Be Done, . Says Al- - bee, to Protect Waterfront From." Conflagration More " Mien Added to . "-Crew. ' ' In a test to which the flreboat David Campbell was put yesterday afternoon by Mayor Albee it made a showing as miserable as on the day of the Harri man bridge Are. when ita inefficiency caused much harsh comment.- , ' Just 22 minutes after 'being called out by a special alarm yesterdaythe David . Camp'bell was able to throw stream of water. The Mayor took the time with his own watch. so tar as- being a fire fighter wao concerned the . Campbell might as well have been a rowboat during the 22 minutes it took to "warm up" the pumps. Had the boat Itself been afire. the crew would have had to form a bucket brigade to quench the blaze. "It wasn't the fault of the crew, said Mayor Albee last night. "They worked like Trojans. It was not., the fault of the, engineers, and It was not because steam was too low, apparently. The boat got away, from its dock in 50 seconds after the alarm was turned in. "I wanted to see just what is wrong with .Portland s expensive new fire boat, in view of the things said about its inefficiency at Wednesday's bridge fire. I took Fire Chief Dowell and Battalion Chief. Stevens along with me. Nobody on the boat knew we were com ingwe didn't know ourselves, until shortly before we left the City Hall "The test was just what I wanted it to be a thorough surprise, under eon dltions like those the boat would have to meet in going to a fire. The result showed that the city would be almost as well off with no fireboat as the David Campbell in its present condi tion. "The Campbell's p'umps'work on the vacuum principle ana it took 22 mln utea by my watch for them to work up a vacuum to throw a stream. ' Half the waterfront might have caught fire in that time. ' ' ' . "I don't know what can be done to remedy this slow action,, but do know that something must be done at once. I think it can be remedied. But we cannot afford to have a fireboat that won't work until 22 minutes after it starts to a fire." Mayor Albee said that one or two additional men would be put- aboard the Campbell at once, as it seemed to be somewhat shorthanded.' At least one additional oiler will be added to the engine-room crew. - Since the Campbell was put in com mission a little more than a month agof the old fireboat, the George H. Williams, which, was badly in need of repairs, has been out of eommrssion and her crew transferred to the new fighter. The pumps of. tha Williams did not operate on the vacuum prin ciple. . In her official tests, the David Camp Dell acquitted Jierself well. "- 11. ' Many are the families who have used Hop Gold Beer for 15 years or more.

Company Indicated in: Re- . cent Transfer. . Powerful competition for the Stand ard Oil Company on the Pacific Coast Is indicated in the sale, reports of which are received from authoritative sources, of . the Monarch , Oil & Refin ing Company to the Deutscher Schell Company, a ' Rothschilds concern, at a price believed . to ba in the neighbor hood of 15, 000,000. The sale embraces the entire .plant and holdings of the Monarch Company on the Pacific Coast, including, fields and refineries in Southern California, rolling stock aiid warehouses and dis tribution depots in virtually every city. The buying "of the Monarch interests by the Rothschilds means that the only big independent refining company on the Pacific Coast has passed into the same hands . as those that control the American Gasoline Cofnpany, which en tered the field' some tijne agQ, and which operates a line of task steamers from Sumatra, where the Rothschilds have large oil holdings. The Monarch was owned by A. ' B. Spreckels, son of the late .' Claus fapreckels, the California sugar king. Besides their Sumatra holdings the Rothschilds have oil interests in all parts of the world, including Mexico1, where, -in - consideration of securing" title to some or tne greatest "gushers ever discovered, they are supposed to liave advanced an .enormous loan to the Huerta government, without which that government would have beem-un able to endure.
