also attacked the proposed $25,000,000
canal zone payment to Colombia and
touched casually on the present Ad

Bank, was chosen president and Charles
F. Berg, vice-president of Lennon's, sec
retary of the 1915 Rose Festival Asso

John F. Carroll, editor of the Evening

first and second vice-presidents, re

officers.
With all due respect to the manage

est Rose Festival on record," said President-elect
Olmstead last night. "The
members of the board are working to
gether harmoniously and all are
pledged to give their best efforts to the
success of the coming Festival.
'The fact that a man of Mr. Olm-
stead's type and ability is willing to
accept the responsibility of presiding
over the destinies of the 1915 Festival
does more than anything else could do
to emphasize the importance of the
Rose Festival as a Portland institu
tion." said Secretary Berg. "Mr. Olm
stead is interetsed in three large
corporations, whose affairs keep him
constantly busy, yet he has consented
to accept a position which involves
great personal sacrifice."
The Board last night discussed in
formally plans calculated to make the
1915 Festival greater than all preced
ing events. It is reported that the
new ofticerK are urging Lreorge 1
Baker to serve again as director of

Final Report of Bourne Committee
Recommends Use of Car-Mile Rate
In Enactment of New Measure.
Oregon Old Soldier Dead.
VANCOUVER, Wash.. Sept. S. (Spe
cial.) Ezra Cross, a Civil War veteran,
on a II days' furlough from the Old
Soldiers' Home, of Roseburg, was found
dead under a trestle between Vancouver
and the Clarke County fairgrounds
early today by two boys. The man ap
parently had walked out on the trestle
and fallen nearly TO feet. His head
was almost buried in the ground.
The body was brought to the city by
Coroner Limber, who is holding It for
investigation. He has communicated
with the Soldiers' Home.
WASHINGTON. Sept. 8. In a final
report submitted to Congress, the
Bourne committee on railway mall pay
as recommended the enactment of a
law substituting space for weight as
the basis of railway mail compensa
tion and has recommended rates which
.ill yield the railroad companies a
revenue slightly less than the average
received from the transportation of
ssengers. In each instance it is com
puted on a car-mile basis.
It is estimated that this will result
in increasing the compensation of the
railroads about $3,000,000 per annuam,
or slightly less than 5 per cent. The
railroads contended that they were
underpaid J15.000.000 a year.
Former Senator Jonathan Bourne,
chairman of the committee, took occa
sion in submitting the report to call at
tention to the fact that former Postmaster-General
Hitchcock had urgently
recommended the enactment of a bill
for railway mail pay which he later
abandoned as unwise, and the Post-
office Department, in two Administra
tions, has advocated four different
plans for compensating the railroads.
Discussing the delay in filing the re
port, Mr. Bourne says:
"While I recognized the desirability
of an expeditious conclusion to our
work. I believed it more important that
we should do it thoroughly than that
we should conclude it quickly. I
should regret extremely and be deeply
humiliated if our investigation had re
sulted, as did that of the Postoffice
Department, in our changing our atti
tude three times and advocating four
radically different measures.
"We certainly should forfeit all claim
to the confidence of Congress if we
presented such a record of vacillation
as did the department. If. in our anx
iety to be expeditious, we had repudi
ated three plans we had evolved, upon
what theory could we expect Congress
to believe that we would for any con
siderable length of time continue to
advocate any new plan we might
recommend?"
CITY DEBT IS ITEMIZED
Oregon City Load Held Not Due to
Ixss of Saloon Revenue.
OREGON CITY, Or., Sept. 8. (Spe
cial.) At the request of F. J. Meyer,
chairman of the finance committee of
the City Council, a financial statement
of the city was prepared today. The
statement excludes bonds issued under
the Bancroft act and water bonds.
It follows:
Warrauts outstanding to January
1. 1914 $ 64,599.21
Warrants outstanding from Jan
uary 1 to September 1 39,991.05
Street Improvements and sewer
work charged against the gen
eral fund , 32,005.82
Bonds at 5 per cent, as follows:
Due 1925, refunding 30,000.00
Due 1933, refunding 20,000.00
Due 1933, refunding 50,000.00
Total $236,599.08
Including bonds under the Bancroft
act and water bonds, the amount prob
ably will be raised nearly $80,000. A
statement of this indebtedness will be
prepared, according to Councilman
Meyer. The Bancroft bonds are for
street improvements and do not hold
the city directly responsible for their
payment.
It is the opinion of the city officials
that the present financial condition of
the city is due to the accumulated In
debtedness of several years. The fact
that the city has been without saloons
for the past eight months, is thought
to have had -no effect on the situation.
"The city has been dry and without
license money only since the first of
the year and the situation could in no
way be blamed on that fact," said City
Attorney Schuebel this afternoon.
LOS ANGELES, Sept. 8. Organized
labor's differences with the Los Angeles
Times, which began a quarter of a cen
tury ago, today occupied the attention
of the Federal Industrial Relations
Commission.
General Harrison Grey Otis, publisher
of the Times, first testified briefly be
fore the commission, later resumed the
stand and read a lengthy statement
and finally submitted to crossezamin
ation at the hands of Commissioner
Garretson, one of the members of the
body appointed to represent organized
labor. Charles Scott, an organizer for
the International Typographical Union,
told labor s side of the story.
WittncwMea Differ Materially.
Testimony of the two witnesses re
garding circumstances surrounding the
open break between the Times and its
union workmen differed materially.
General Otis declared a strike was
called on his office, while Mr. Scott in
sisted that union employes were locked
out after they had made a demand for
increased wa-ges. Mr, Scott also de
clared that the unions were tricked
into calling off a boycott on merchants
who advertised in the Times In the be
lief that a settlement was about to be
effected.
"We do not consider tttat the affair
ever has been settled," he said, "and
we still stand ready to meet and treat
with the Times."
Only once did. General Otis refer to
the dynamiting of the Times building.
and he prefaced that statement by the
remark that he would pass over the
incident quickly, as it was a "sensitive
subject."
Closed Shop Is Opposed.
He was detailing the growth of the
paper with the intention of showing
that it had prospered under the em
ployment of non-union labor and the
cost of the new Times building en
tered into his testimony.
'The rainy day, or, more properly,
the fiery day, came as already related,"
he said, "when the first Times build
ing was destroyed through the com
bined and wicked agencies of union
labor conspiracy, dynamite and fire,
with an aggregate loss of more than
half a million dollars, and saddest of
all, the wiping out of 21 precious hu
man lives the lives of loyal and brave
non-union workmen, who manfully
stood fast at their posts during the
perilous hours of death and destruction."
The publisher insisted that he did
not object to labor's organizing, but he
was opposed to the closed shop.
"Abolish union labor monopoly, dis
crimination and violence, the denial of
employment to all non-union workmen
and other flagrant evils of the dicta
torial closed shop." he said, "and there
will result work for all at fair wages.
"Accelerated production and in
creased personal comfort will speedily
follow, succeeded by the disappear
ance of the soup kitchen and the elim
ination of 'industrial unrest.
Otis Denounces Unions.
"Organized labor," he continued,
not essential to the industries and
could not make headway against free
unorganized labor were it not bolstered
up by monopoly, force and prosecution,
frequently accompanied by violence and
outright lawlessness.
Mr. Scott took exception to General
Otis' reference to his plant as an
"open shop" and also his statement
that the wages he paid his typesetters
were above the union scale.
The Times office is a non-union shop
and does not pay as much as unionized
shops, he insisted.
It developed that as a young man
General Otis was a union printer, and
Commissioner O'Connell wanted to
know why he joined a union.
'It was the folly or youtn, as near
as I can recollect, uenerai utis replied.
