Youthful President of Sumpter
Valley Road Scores Person-
al Victory in Dealings.
mm TO BE RECOGNIZED
Granting Pay Rise to Engineers and
Firemen, He Gets Signatures Not
to Strike, Then Tells Train
men to Listen to llira.
" BAKER, Or., Nov. 12. Special.)
E. C. Eccles, the youthful president
of the Sumpter Valley Railroad, scored
h personal victory today in bringing
to a termination the labor troubles
which have beset the Eastern Oregon
road for the last few weeks.
The trainmen, when their grievances
were aired today, lost their main con
tentions, and the agreement which they
signed gives not a man a penny's in
crease in pay; leaves unreinstated the
five trainmen who were let out by the
company Just before the strike, and
fixes rules of procedure in future la
bor troubles which make strikes well
nigh impossible. However, their union
was recognized and certain' minor con
cessions made.
The engineers won an advance in
pay and certain changes In working
conditions.
In conducting the negotiations young
Eccles insisted that he would not deal
with the complaints of the engineers,
firemen and trainmen in a lump, but
would take up the cases individually.
H. Mclntyre, vice-president of the
Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, one
of the most astute labor leaders in
railroad circles, for some reason acqui
esced in this plan. Then the young
financier agreed easily to the demands
of the engineers, advanced their pay
nd agreed to changes in working con
ditions. The snme was true of nego
tiations with the firemen. Then he
obtained the signatures of the engi
neers and firemen to the agreements,
which provided that there should be
no strikes, and turned his attention to
the trainmen.
"Strike," Snya Eccles.
It was the trainmen who started the
trouble: it was not the trainmen who
benefited thereby. When their case
was called President Eccles heard 'the
complaints relative to the dismissal of
five men who, the trainmen said, had
been let out because they Joined the
union. Evidence that the men had been
let out ftr cause by the company was
Introduced. President Eccles said he
would abide by that. The men talked
strike and the meeting grew stormy.
"Strike." said young Eccles. But the
trainmen found they would not have,
could not have, the support of the en
gineers and firemen. Both sides blus
tered, and when the subject of wages
was reached little objection was raised
to President Eccles' expressed opinion
that the trainmen were being paid
enough. The men yielded this point
and uther points.
Some concessions were made to them.
The union was recognized; the rules
povmnlng overtime and fixing various
working conditions were changed and
the non-strike clause was inserted.
The concessions as to rules and rec
ognition were Just what the firemen
end engineers had obtained and the
trainmen had to take that or nothing.
The right to belong to labor unions,
not recognized before the strike, was
conceded by the company and" provision
was made that in all cases of grievance
a committee from one ot the brother
hoods should have an audience with th
railroad officials.
Threat la Futile.
Trainmen, through Mr. Mclntyre,
signed the agreement and the strike on
the Sumpter Valley Railroad became
history.
Several times In the course of the
meeting today there was a tension
which threatened to snap and at one
time Mr. Mclntyre went so far as to
Jump to his feet and declare that he
would have the entire force, engineers
and firemen, repudiate their agree
ments signed yesterday in the event
that certain concessions were not made
Even he, however, seemed impressed by
the testimony which was introduced as
to the reasons the men had been dis
charged by the company. He fought,
and fought hard, for the men of his
order, the trainmen, but it was a los
ing fight, and when the testimony had
been taken he said that, had the train
men made their case clearer at the out
set, he would not have made demands
which it developed could not be forced
through.
GHURGH TOLD TO' FIGHT
E VERY-DAY PROBLEMS DEMAND
ACTION EVERY DAY.
Unitarian Conference Hears Charities
Worker, YVno Say Christians
Should Enter Politics.
NEW YORK, Nov. 12. If the church
Is to have a seven-days-a-week re
ligion, the church must aid the state in
solving the problems of the prison, and
politics must play an important part
in the field of Christian endeavor. It
was argued before the Unitarian Con
ference of the Middle States and Canada
loaay Dy Alexander Johnson, ex-secretary
of the National Conference on
Charities. In Indiana 18 per cent of
the convicts are feeble-minded, and in
the Elmlra reformatory In New York,
83 per cent, and the percentage is
higher In New Jersey county prisons,
Mr. Johnson said.
"We imprison these people, discharge
them without guidance." he continued.
"and then back they go to their crimes
because they cannot act normally, be
cause their sense of restraint is undo
veloped and because they have no more
Idea of right and wrong than a child.
Now, if yours is to be atseven-days-in-the-week
religion, as it should be, and
If women get the vote, as they should,
then is the time for you to step into
this fight. You have a right, for the
jail is yours and you pay for it and
hire the men who run it."
Rev. Edmund Beeman, of Lancaster,
Pa., until recently Minister at Hull,
Kngland, told of the work of church
and state in Great Britain. "The diffi
culty which the English churches are
facing is not that they have had too
little to do with politics," he said, "but
that they have been too closely identi
fied with the political parties."

Silver Service to Be Selected as Up
per Body's Testimonial Dla
mond Pendant Chosen by
House Is Distinctive.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 12. (Special.)
The family circle at the White House
is busily engaged these dius in open
ing boxes, breaking seals and unravel
ing packages of every shape and size,
all containing presents for Miss Jessie
Wilson, who Is to be married Novem
ber 25 to Francis B. Sayre. Some of
the gifts have come from officials in
distant lands. Strict secrecy, however,
is being maintained as to their nature.
It became known today that the Sen
ators who are contributing toward a
gift to represent their end of the Cap
itol had tentatively agreed that a sil
ver service would be appropriate, espe
riallv in view of th fact that it would
fnot in any sense be brought intd com
parison with the diamond pendant
chosen as the testimonial of the mem
bers of the House. The House mem
bers are tar more numerous than Sen
ators, and on a per capita basis would
be expected to outshine their Senatorial
colleagues if it came to a mere con
test for gorgeousness. The bad taste
of such a rivalry is conceded without
argument, and it will not exist; never
theless it is thought well enough that
the gifts shall not be of a parallel
nature that would suggest an untimely
comparison.
The gift of the Representatives con
tinues to be discussed. It is said the
diamond pendant, already briefly de
scribed by Republican Leader Mann,
carries with it an especial distinction
not often found so happily in a gift
of its nature. In addition to the canary-colored
diamond that is the cen
ter of the whole Jewel, the small dia
monds. 85 in number, that surround it
are said to have been chosen especial
ly for their blue-white color, the inter
change of colors between the many
scores of facets being said to be pecu
liarly and strikingly pleasing. Those
who have seen the gift have said it
was a triumph of appropriateness and
distinctive quality.

LANE TO CUT CAUCUSES
Senator Reserves Right to Vote as
He Pleases on Currency Bill.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash.
lngton, Nov. 12. Senator Lane, of Ore
gon, refused today to attend the Demo
cratic caucus on the currency bill and
intimated that he was through with
party caucusus which touch on ques
tions of legislation.
"We Senators," said Senator Lane,
"are public servants, sent to Washing
ton to transact public business, and
public , business snould be handled in
the open, not Denina ciosea aoors.
"Whether this Democratic meeting
be known as a caucus or a conference,
its action is morally and practically
binding, and for my part I do not pro
pose to be bound to this currency leg
islation. I specifically reserve the
right to vote as my conscience and
Judgment dictate. This caucus may
bind those participating to support a
given bill in a definite form. I reserve
to myself the right to vote for any
amendment, no matter . by whom of
fered, if I think that amendment would
strengthen or improve the currency
bilL
"Currency legislation should not be
made partisan legislation and if, when
the bill is brought up in the Senate,
any amendment or amendments are of
fered that in my Judgment will make
the bill better, I certainly will vote
for them, whether they be proposed by
Democrats or Republicans. Congress
should view the currency question from
the broad standpoint of public welfare
and if the caucus currency bill can be
improved by amendments proposed by
Republican Senators, the Senate ought
to adopt those amendments as tending
to make this legislation more effective
and more beneficial.
If amendments which-,. I regard as
wise are voted down by the majority of
the Senate, I probably shall support the
Dur on tne nnai vote on the theory that
it is a step forward, but I shall not
stultify myself so that I cannot exer
cise my own Judgment regarding the
merits of any and all amendments that
are to be offered and considered."
Senator Chamberlain attended today's
caucus.

MEAT CAUSE OF
KIDNEY TROUBLE
Take Salts to Flush Kidneys if
Back Hurts or Bladder
Bothers.
If you must have your meat every
day, eat it, but flush your kidneys with
salts occasionally, says a noted author
ity who tells us that meat forms uric
acid which almost paralyzes ihe kid
neys in their eiforts to expel it from
the blood. They become sluggish and
weaken, then you suffer with a dull
misery in the kidney region, sharp
pains in the back or sick headache,
dizziness, your stomach sours, tongue
is coated and .when the weather is bad
you have rheumatic twinges. Tle
urine gets cloudy, full of sediment, the
channels often get Bore -and irritated,
obliging you to seek relief two or three
time during the night. s
To neutralize these irritating acids,
to cleanse the kidneys and flush off
the body's urinous waste get four
ounces of Jad Salts from any pharmacy
here; take a tablespoonful in a glass
of water before breakfast for a few
days and your kidneys will then act
fine. This famous salts is made from
the acid of grapes and lemon juice,
combined with llthla, and has been
used for generations' to flush and
stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to
neutralize the acids in urine, so it no
longer irritates, thus ending bladder
weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
