TIIE - MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1915. YOUNG ENGINEERS WORK AS FIREMEN Earnings of Newly Promoted Men Subject of Long Con troversy at Hearing. POSTMASTER-GENERAL'S DAUGHTER WHOSE ENGAGEMENT TO JUSTICE M'REYNOLDS IS AGAIN BEING REPORTED. DUAL POSITION FILLED Head of firemen's BrotherhoMl .ad mits He Misunderstood Practice. Mmiazrr Ocnies He Tried to Trap fnion president". CHICAGO. Feb. 3. A' prolonged con troversy over the earninss of promoted engineers enntened today's session of the board of arbitration In the Western railway wage case. . Early In the proceedings last Decem ber W. Carter, .president of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Engirtemen. then a witness and now acting with W. S. Stone, of the engineers, as counsel for. the men. in troduced an exhibit de.iigned to show that when a fireman is promoted to ngineer he is still a lone way from Hie so-called bier salaries drawn on preferred runs. The exhibit showed the earnings of selected engineers pro moted since February, 1913, "as en gineers." KnKineenv Sometime Are Flremea. J. H. Keefe, assistant general man ager of the Guir. Colorado & Santa Fe Railroad, concluded nine days on the witness stand with an exhibit, which, he said, completed Carter's, adding to the earnings of these engineers what thev earned as firemen, as well as engineers. The workings of the senior ity rule, it appeared, frequently forces the young engineer to leave the throttle temporarily for the coal shovel. The new exhibit corrected Carter's to show that in February, 1914, the aver ae of $86 a month earned by promot rd engineers "as engineers, was in rreased to $108; in June, rrom to $K8: in Octobtr. from $97 to $122. and in February. 1914, from $67 to $103. Mr. Carter explained that this ex hibit was based on data supplied by the railroads. Correspondence on the subject was read into the record, from whion it appeared that Mr. Carter had asked for the "earnings of promoted engineers. Demotion Xot Permanent. Mr. Carter asked a scries of ques tions designed to get the witness to admit that the general managers had taken advantage of an oversight on his part to lead him into a false po sition. "We had not the most remote Idea as to your reason for asking for the figures; we were in the dark as to what use you intended to make of them.'' replied Mr. Keefe. "But wouldn't it have been kinder of vow. finding that I was in error, to have reminded me?" pursued Mr. Carter. "I think it would have been pre sumptuous; we didn't know what you wanted them for," replied the witness. "I am learning something new," said Mr. Carter. "1 knew that engineers are demoted when business falls off and work as firemen, but candidly J had thought once firemen promoted, his earnings as nn engineer-are ail that he can earn and that he is demoted before he makes earnings as a fire man." Firemen Official mistaken. Charles Nagel. a neutral member of the board, asked: "Is it possible. Mr. Carter, that witn all your experience as a railroad man. as head of the Firemen's Brotherhood, that you did not know that engineers wrk also as firemen?" Mr. Carter repeated that his under standing had apparently been at vari anee with practice. .lames M. Sheean. attorney for the railroads, read from the record to show that Carter, when a witness, had fully understood that he was testifying as to the earnings of the younger engi neers as such, tond that the introduc tion of today's exhihit rould not have come as a surprise to him. "I ask you." said f-'heean. reading from the record, "if the earnings were not too low, and if they embraced the earnings of these same men as fire men, and you answered repeatedly and emphatically that they were the earn ings of promoted engineers 'as engi neers.'" Turning to the board, the at torney said that the new exhibit was not an attempt to discredit Mr. Carter, but to "complete the picture so that the board might be fully Informed as ao the earnings of these men." Payroll Del-ills Brought Out. The payroll subject was turned in side out '.l.'hij-, and at one time turned on a detail in which Mr. Keefe teels a deep personal interest, namely, the pay received by firemen on oil-burning lo comotives. It appeared that in Octo ber. 11U3. A. Richardson, a fireman on Keefe's road, earned JJOfl. "The rate now paid of $3.75 a day Is unreachable, when it is compared with the $4.40 received by the engineer of the same oil burner, compared to whose work that of the fireman is a smtv." said Mr. Keefe. "It was the result of the arbitration of 1910 and at the end of the year most of the roads, as they were privileged, de clined to renew the schedule. some roads, including my own. still pay the rate, but had expected to seek an ad justment at the present arbitration. However, it cannot be done, as the ar bitration includes only the demands of the men; none of the injustices to the roads." COMMERCIAL CLUB ELECTS 1 rank II. Iamb Heads Hoquiam I.mlv Will.

The warning of tHe Ger man Admiralty 6taff, issued yesterday, concerning coming operations on the rench coast is considered by some Berlin newspapers, among them the Morgen Post, to mean that an actual blockade is to be put in effect by the Germans. The Morgen Post, however, points out that many of the essentials of a blockade are lacking, among them being a definite description of boun daries and a warning that neutral ships must not enter the forbidden zone. The entire German press prints the comments made by the English news papers regarding the deeds of the uer man submarine boat U-21. which re cently made a raid on British steamers in the Irish Sea. STORM DAMAGES PLANT OREGOX POWER COMPANVS AUXIL. ARY AT RORTH BEND HIT. atiOOO Loss Sustained Mill Saved From Blaze Electric Shocks Fell Firemen at Aossle. MARSHFIELD, Or.. Feb. 3. (Spe cial.) A severe electrical and wind storm last night damaged the Oregon Power Company's ausV try plant at North Bend to the exte.. of JS000. The Porter mill, belonging 'to the A. M. Simpson Lumber Company. caught fire, but the Xorth Bend and Marsh field fire departments saved the mill from any damage. The fire was oc casioned by short-circuiting of the electric wires in several places, due to a high wind. The cities of Marshfield and North Bend were dark for an hour, the current having been turned off to prevent accidents from fallen wires. The powerhouse being built of sheet iron, the fires were confined to the original places where the flames ap peared. The Oregon Power Company "lost a $2000 belt and all its switchboards. The electrical current was communi cated to the water by the bose and all the firemen who worked as nozzlemen were knocked down several times. WOMEfi MAY BE ON BOARD Bill Planned to Name Two as Expo sition Commissioners. Club women of the state are pre paring a bill for introduction tn the Legislature empowering the Governor to name two women commissioners on the Panama-Pacific International Ex position Commission, thus increasing the membership to seven. The bill will carry no request for an appropriation. The proposed new members would serve gratuitously, as provided in the original bill, which specifies that com missioners shall receive their actual expenses but no salary or compensa tion for services. The argument which will be pre sented by the club women in support of the bill is founded on the fact that in 1915 a number of National conven tions, comprising thousands of women delegates, will be held in the North west. Women of renown from all sec tions of the United StRtes will be at tracted to Portland, particularly as the National Child Welfare convention will be held in May, and the biennial coun cil of the General Federation of Wom en's Clubs will follow in June, just prior to the Rose Festival. Many will remain for that, event and then visit the exposition. The women take the position that the state federation should be represented by two of its active members, to receive and enter tain in the Oregon building fellow members of the general federation.

OIL MAGNATE'S MIND PICTURED A3 'OPEN' Member of Personal Staff Says John D. Will Reverse Him self When Wrong. OFFICE BOY NOT SPURNED Conditions in Colorado Mines Are Subject or Inquiry by Federal Commission Women Describe ' "Battle of Ludlow." NEW YORK, Feb. 3. John R. Law son, executive board member of the United Mine Workers of America from the district which includes Colorado, to. dav told the Federal Commission on Industrial Relations that the reason the Colorado Fuel & Iron Company and other operators refused to deal wltlt organized labor was that they realized that the unions would force them to obev ihe mining laws, which, he said, thev had repeatedly violated. Mr Lawson, who was a witness last week, was recalled to the stand after Mrs. Mary Petrucci and Mrs. Margaret Uominski, the wives of Colorado miners, had told the story of Ludlow and the battle there as they had seen it. Mrs. Petrucci's three children were smoth ered to death in a subterranean cham ber where they haa niaaen wiien tent colony was burned. Otvnern Accused of Violations. Mr. Lawson said that the only reason the operators had granted the miners anything was because "they .had seen the handwriting on the wall, placed there bv the unions." As he testified i,ai in hi hund conies of 32 Colo rado mining laws. Each of these, he said had been broken many times by the operators. The operators realized, he asserted, that the unions not only would force them to ODey tne nurniiw kii- wnnlil nrevent them from import ing armies of workers from Southern Europe who had never seen a mine be fore, and then pay them what they pleased, work them as long as they pleased and keep them in a state of poverty the rest or tneir uvea. Rockefeller Foundation Defended. Jerome D. Greene, secretary of the Rockefeller Foundation ana iormeru a member of the personal staff of John D Rockefeller, Sr., occupied the wit ness stand all the morning session and of tha afternoon session. He defended the practices and policies of the Rockefeller Foundation ana i" aims and ideas of its founders. He admitted that the Foundation could within the scope of the charter granted it by the New xorn egmm-f,,- rf munv things incompatible with the "general interests of the public," such as conducting propaganda against organized labor or a campaign against compensation for workmen. He de clared, however, there was not even a remote possibility that such things ever would happen. Mr. Greene said that while, until the first of the year, he was a member ol Mr. Rockefeller's personal staff, he had seen his employer only twice in me iai .-onrs Mr. Greene said he consid ered 'the trouble in Colorado to be economic. John D. "Onen-Minded." Mr. Green. In discussing the char acteristics of Mr. Rockefeller, Sr., said; "He is always open-minded. He might reverse his own opinion if anyone could show him he was wrong. He is open to suggestions from everyone. Even the office-boy might offer a suggestion that he would take." "Did you ever hear that Mr. Gates, nhn naod to attend to all of Mr. Rock efeller's business, saw Mr. Rockefeller onlv once in eignt years.' "That statement surprises me." re plied the witness. "I never heard of that. Mr. Lee has seen Mr. Rockefel ler twice. Starr J. Murpny sees jxlt. Rockefeller f reauently." The personal staff usually communi cated with Mr. Kockeiener inrougn his son or in writing, the witness said. As for the Rockefeller bird refuge, Mr. Green said there appeared to be con siderable criticism of it. The reason the refuge was ever established was, ho biM because the danger of insect- eating birds being slaughtered by hunters at times of migration. Agri cultural interests demanded that the birds be protected, he said. Shootlnar of Children Charged. Mrs. Dominski, questioned about liv ing conditions in the .Colorado mine regions, said that prices of goods at the stores of the Colorado Fuel & Iron Company were higher than elsewhere, and that for this reason miners fre quently went to nearpy towns for their supplies. She said that one miner wis discharged when he was caught with a trunk full of supplies bought outside the mining camp. Mrs. Dominski described the alleged shooting at women and children dur ing the trouble between the miners and the militia. She said that militiamen had demanded from one of the miners' leaders named Tlkas the production of a certain miner who was not in camp. Shortly after Tikas had so informed them, the witness said, she heard a bomb exploded, and, looking out of her tent, she saw militiamen riding toward them. "Tikas told us to scatter, as the mili tia had machine guns." the witness tes tified. - "About 50 or 60 of us, women or children, were standing on the hill when they started to shoot at us. Two of my children hid in a well with some of the women and I hid in a barn with my other child. Later in the afternoon my children crowled out of the well and started for the barn. The militia shot at both of them. About the same time a bullet whistler over my head and hit the barn. It was an explosive bul let. "Later," continued Mrs. Dominski, "I saw men with flaring torches going among the tents. They had cans of oil in their hands. They set fire to the tents." Mother of Victims Testifies. Describing the conditions in the miners' tent colony, Mrs. Petrucci de clared that she had been frequently insulted by the militiamen, who visited it. She also related her experiences during the alleged attack of the mili tiamen on the colony. "The militiamen 'hollered and shot at us," she said. "I took my children into an underground chamber which was used by women who were ill. The chamber was under the tent next to mine. There were three women and eight children in the cellar by the time I got there. Ten minutes later the tent caught Are and then I lost con sciousness. It must have been about 6:30 at night. The next morning I re gained consciousness and somebody dragged me out. I was in a bad con dition. I staggered until some miners came along and helped me. "When I found the depot I asked some women to find" my children. Then I found out for the first time that they were missing. I was in a hospital nine days after I got away from Ludlow." pi iDRUGSl nor .1 M Kelso Council Wants Poll Tax. KKLSO, Wash, Feb.- 3. (Special.) At the regi.lar meeting of the City r!

PRESIDENT JAKES A LEA (Continued From First Page.) by Mr. Wilson as an example of the difficulty he had in getting accurate information. Solidarity of Xations Felt. 'I would prefer that you receive me as if for the time being. I were one of your own number," the President said, "because the longer I occupy the office that I now occupy the more I regret any lines of separation; the more I deplore any -feeling that one set of men has one set of interests and another set of men has another set of interests: the more I feel tne soi idaritv of the Nation, the impossibility of separating one interest from another without misconceiving it, tne necessnj that we should all understand one an other, in order that we may under stand ourselves. There is an illustra tion which I have used many times. I will use it again, "because it is the most serviceable to my mind. "To my mind it is a picture of the world. If you have lost other interests and do not know the relation of your interests to those other interests, then you do not understand your own in terests and have lost yours. What you want is orientation relationship to the points of the compass, relationship to the other people in the world; vital connections which have for the time heinir been severed. So I am particu larly glad to express my admiration for the kind of organization which you have drawn together. "Boosting" Declared Inhandsome. "T have attended banquets of Cham bers of commerce in various parts of the country and have got the impres sion at each of these banquets that there was onlv one city in the coun try. And It has seemed to me that those associations were meant tn order to destroy man's perspective, .in order to destroy their sense of relative pro portions worst of all, if I may be permitted to say so, they were intended to boost sometning in pariiuuim. Boosting' is a very inhandsome thing. Advancing enterprise is a very hand some thing, but to exaggerate local merit in order td create disproportion in the general development is not a particularly handsome thing or a par timilarlv intelligent thing. "The advantage about a Chamber of Commerce of the United States is that there is only one way to boost the United States and that is by seeing to it that the conditions under which busi ness is done throughout the country are the best possible conditions. There cannot be any disproportion about mat. If you draw your sap and your vital ity from all quarters, then the more sap. and vitality there is in you, the more there is in the commonwealth as a whole, and every time you lift at all, you lift the whole level of manufac turing and mercantile enterprise. Truth Conies From Many Liars. "Moreover, the advantage of it is that vou cannot boost the Linited fetates in that way without understanding the United States. You learn a great oeai. I agreed with a colleague of mine in the Cabinet the other day that we had never attended in our lives before a school to compare with that we were now attending for the purpose of gain ing a liberal education. "Of course, I learn a great many things that are not so. But the in teresting thing about it is this: Things that are not so do not match. If you hear enough of them you see there is no pattern whatever. It is a crazy quilt. Whereas, the truth always matches, piece for piece, with other parts of the truth. "No man can lie consistently, and he cannot lie about everything if he talks to you long. So that I would guaran tee that if enough liars talked to you you would get the truth. "I had somewhat that experience about. Mexico, aijd that was about the only way in which I learned anything that was so, for here have been vivid imaginations and many special interests which have depicted things as they wished me to believe them to be. Task Is to Match All Facts. "Now, seriously, the task of this body is to match all the facts of business throughout the country, and see the vast and consistent pattern of them. That is the reason and I think you are to be congratulated upon the fact that you cannot do this thing without common counsel. "I have asked myself, before I came here tonight, what relation you could bear to the Government of the United States and what relation the Govern ment could bear to you. There are two aspects and activities of the Gov ernment with which you will naturally come into most direct contact. "The first is the Government's power of inquiry systematic and dis interested inquiry and its power of scientific assistance. You get an il lustration of the latter, for example, in the Department of Agriculture. 'Has it occurred to you, I wonder, that we are just upon the eve of a time when our Department of Agriculture will be of infinite importance to the whole world?" Greater Food Shortage Predicted. "Thor i. a shortiieA of food in the world now. That shortage will be more serious a few montns irom now man it- is now. It is necessary that we should plant a great deal more. It is necessary that our land should yield more per acre than it does now. It is necessary that there should not be a plow or a spade idle in this country, if the world is to be fed; and the meth ods of our farmers must feed upon the scientific information to be derived from the state departments of agricul ture and from that taproot of all, the United States Department of Agricul ture. "The object and use of that Depart ment is to inform men of the latest developments and disclosures of sci ence, with regard to all the processes bv which soils can he put to their proper use and their fertility made the greatest possible. 'Similarly with the bureau of stand ards. It is ready to supply these things by which you can set norms, you ran state bases for all the scientific proc esses of business. ForeLxn Trade Nerlected. "The Government of the United States Is properly a great Instrumen tality of inquiry and information. One thing, we are Just beginning to do that which we ought to have done long ago. We ought long ago to have had our bureau of foreign and domestic com merce. We ought long ago to have sent the best eyes of the Government out into the world where the oppor tunities and openings of American commerce and American genius were to be found; men who were not sent out as the particular agents of any set of commercial industries in the United States, but who were eyes for the whole community. ' "But there are other ways of using the Government of the United Stales wavs that have long been tried. though not always with conspicuous success or fortunate results. You can use the Government of the United States by Influencing Its legislation. That has been an active industry, but It has not always been managed in the Interest of the whole people. It Is in structive and useful for the Govern ment of the United States to have such means as you are ready to supply for getting a sort of consensus of opinion which proceeds from no particular quarter and originates with no par ticular interest, because Information is the foundation of all right action in legislation. Interests Must Be Pooled. "Men on the inside of business know how business is conducted and they cannot complain if men of the outside make mistakes about business if they do not come from the inside and give the kind of advice which is necessary. The trouble in the past for I think the thing is changing rapidly is only that they came with all their bristles out. They came on the defensive. They came to see, not what they could ac complish, but what they could prevent They did not come to guide, but they came to block, and that is of no use whatever to the general body politic "What has got to pervade us like a great motive power is that we cannot and must not separate our Interests from one. another, but must pool our interests. A man who is trying to fight for his single hand is fighting against the community and not fight ing with it DIVER TO RECOVER SLOOP Russian Vessel Sunk GO Years Ago to Give Vp Treasures.
