FINAL ACTION PUT - OFF
Another Short Conference Is Held
With President Strike Issue

or May Go Over.
i
' WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.--ObJections
which developed tonight at a meeting
of railroad presidents and managers to
points in the tentative plan evolved by
the committee of eight presidents con
sidering ways to avoid the threatened
general strike resulted in a further
postponement of final action. The con
ference adjourned to meet again to
morrow and. as one president phrased
it, the situation is such that "it may
he settled in 20 minutes or the matter
may go over until next week."
A statement issued by the railroad
executives tonight summed it up this
way:
"At the invitation of President Wil
con, Messrs. Hale Holen, Judge R. S.
Lovett and Daniel Willani went to the
"White House at noon and held a short
conference with the President.
New Phaae Is Discussed.
"A conference of the railroad execu
tives tv a 8 held at 3 o'clock and a new
phase of the situation of some import
ance was laid before the conference by
the special committee.
"After considerable discussion with
out definite action an .adjournment
was taken until 11 o'clock tomorrow
morning.
"In the meantime the special com
mittee of the presidents will continue
Itc labors."
The special committee's plan, drafted
after a week's consideration. - would
provide for granting an eight-hour
"basic" day to the trainmen, but with
assurance that every effort would be
made by the Administration to secure
a prompt rate increase to recompense
the roads and further assurance that
Congress would be asked to enact leg
islation to insure settlement of future
labor disputes through an investigat
ing commission.
Freight Rate Increue Objected To. ,
The entire plan has not been laid be
fore all the executives and managers,
hut its points have been discussed at
the various conferences. It developed
after tonight's meeting that objection
had been raised to the freight rate in
crease feature on at least two grounds.
It was argued by some that there can
he no assurance of a rate increase be
cause no one could say what the In
terstate Commerce Commission might
do, and some of the most important
shippers of the country already have
made it plain that they arenot in sym
pathy with any move which may mean
a. rate increase. It was pointed out
also that although President Wilson
has expressed his belief that such a
rate increase should be granted If the
eight-hour day is given the employes,
no one can tell how the next election
Is coming out, and there can be no pos
sibility of an Increase before next
March, or probably later.
Attention was called, too, to the fact
that the commission hitherto has held
that it cannot consider wage standards
in dealing with proposed, rate In
creases, although legislation by Con
gress might remove that difficulty.
Labor Against Strike Commission
The principal arguments against the
Idea of a permanent commission for
the prevention or settlement of strikes
were that it would almost certainly be
fought by labor in Congress, and that'
while President Wilson might be en
tirely willing now to back such legis
lation, he might not be in a position to
do so when it was proposed. Repre
sentatives of the brotherhoods who
heard of this phase of the plan today
were plainly against it.
The special committee's plan has
heen tentatively accepted by the com
mittee of eight, and it was the sub
ject of today's conference at the White
House. Its substance was communi
cated to the labor representatives
through Judge William . L. Chambers,
of the Board of Mediation and Concili
ation. The railroad presidents are under
stood not to be insistent on the com
mission idea for the settlement of fu
ture disputes, and the main difficulty
has been the working out of operating
plans under an eight-hour day and of
giving assurances to the presidents
and managers that they can count on
a freight rate increase.
- Serious Problems Presented.
Presidents and managers agree that
the operating problem presented is one
of the most complicated they have
ever undertaken. There seems, to be
a general opinion that the eight-hour
day must be granted, but roads which
now are operating on only a narrow
margin of profit, or on which the phys
ical difficulties are unusual, present
serious problems to be overcome. The
effort has been to Include In the eight
hour day concessions solution of some
other questions, such as overtime pay.

New Manifestation of Americanism
in Hands of Committee of Mas
ters or Art Terpsichorean.
i
CRlCAGO, 111.. Aug? 24. (Special.)
'Walking the Dog" and other so-called
suggestive dances came in for a scath
ing denunciation at the 33d annual
convention of the National Association
of Dancing Masters today.
Masters in dancing from all parts
of the United States' are in attendance,
with a variety of narw hops, slides and
glides; but there is to be keen censor
ship by a committee selected today and
it is asserted some of the terpsichorean
wiggles may never reach maturity.
The country is about to have a new
National dance to a new rhythm. This
last element of complete Americanism
is now being generated by a commit
tee also. The dance is not to be any
nymphlike, back-to-nature proceeding,
either.
The ideal "social' dance" must be
something- distinctly new and not too
difficult for the tired and somewhat
obese business man. '
The dancing masters do not declare
definitely against the tango or the fox
trot or any other of the menagerie
steps.
In ten days, or maybe less, this dance
of our- Nation will be "released" to
a waiting publio and press.

SALT LAKE CITY", Aug. 24. Charles
E. Hughes, speaking before an au
dience that crowded every available
foot of space in the great Mormon
Tabernacle here tonight, assailed the
Administration for "specious disre
gard" of the civil service regulations
in making appointments, declared that
he stood for faithful observance of the
civil service and asserted that he would
extend its sphere, if elected.
Mr. Hughes spoke with the Demo
cratic candidate for Governor on the
plafTorm. and with other Democratic
candidates and party officials, especial
ly invited guests, in the hall. "We
have had under this Administration,"
the nominee said, "law after law en
acted providing for the creation of
thousands of places, of provisions to
the effect that it should not be neces
sary in making the appointments to
conform with the merit system, which
is another way of saying they need
not be made under civil service regu
lations.
Excuses Deceive No One.
"Spurious excuses were made. They
deceived no one. Every one of those
clauses designed to make inapplicable
the merit system was simply designed
to afford an opportunity to provide par
tisan and political spoils.
"We must sedulously guard against
that. So far as I . am concerned, the
operation of the merit system will be
recognized . and extended in order that
we' increase the standard of public
work, that we elevate those standards,
that we may have efficiency in the
public service." ...
Mr. Hughes referred to "claims of all
candidates that they want efficiency of
government."
"I should not expect you would think
what I say worthy of special atten
tion,'? he said, "were it not that I have
devoted four of the -best years of my
life, regardless of politics, to maintain
ing those ideals In the Empire State."
Time to Talk of Obligations.
The nominee referred to the Admin
istration's policy toward the Philip
pines. "We have talked too much about our
privileges." he said. "It is now time
to talk about our obligations. If our

More Moderate Weather Likely
, to Be Dispensed Today,
. Says Forecaster.
Not content with the showing made
Wednesday. Old Sol -began the attack
on the thermometer early yesterday
and by- 4:30 o'clock in - the afternoon
the mercurial contents had. reached-96
degrees. It was the hottest day since
last August, and three degrees hotter
than the day before yesterday, the sea
son's record up to that time.
- At- 6 o'clock yesterday morning the
thermometer registered 66 degrees,
three degrees higher than the same
time the preceding morning, so it was a
forgone conclusion that yesterday
would be the record-breaker. Thirty
degrees, the same range of temperature
as existed Wednesday, was yesterday's
variation.
Portland may expect more moderate
weather today, says the weather man.
At any rate, ttie mercury would have
to aviate considerably to beat last sea
son's mark of an even 100 degrees,
registered July 20.

BY SHAD O. KRANTZ.
NORTH BEND. Or., Aug. 24. (Spe
cial.) This has been the biggest day
in the history of the Coos country.
The Coos country, be it understood,
embraces not only Coos County, but
stretches northward to include the
western portion of Douglas and Lane
counties and southward to take in the
northern part of Curry County.
People from even the remotest cor
ners of the Coos country today laid
aside their accustomed activities and
came in organized and unorganized
forces to north Bend to celebrate the
completion of the ' new railroad the
first railroad to connect the Coos coun
try with the outside world.
Dream of 25 Years Realised.
For more than a quarter of a cen
tury the people here have been hoping
for a railroad. They have been work
ing faithfully for it. too. A score of
times in this quarter century their spir
its have been buoyed up In the belief
that they were about to get a railroad.
But not until the -Southern Pacific un
dertook actually to build a railroad
were the people able to cash in on their
hopes.
It is almost . five years now that
actual construction on the line con
nectlng North Bend .-and Marahfield
with . Eugene was begun. Those five
years have been an anxious period for
the people of the Coos country. They
have watched the progress of almost
every detail of the work. They have
been patient.
Two More Big Days la Store.
They waited until every mile of
track had been laid and every girder
in the last bridge had been riveted.
Then they planned a celebration such
as Oregon, or. indeed, the whole Pa
cific Coast seldom has seen.
It is not necessary, therefore, to
qualify the assertion that this has been
the biggest day in the history of this
wonderful country. But this Is only
the first of three big days. Tomor
row the glory and the splendor of
this historic day may be eclipsed. If
not tomorrow, then possibly the next
day.
Entire Coast Is Represented.
The events of today have attracted

PORT ANGELES. Wash.. Aug. 24.
Delirious part of the time, with a gash
in his head as a result of the fall into
a glacier crevasse, George Welsh, of
Port Townsend. is waiting for help to
get to him from the heart of the rugged
Olympic Mountains. . Six men, includ
ing a physician, are hastening to his
rescue.
According to the story of a boy who
came into the ranger station at Elwha,
eight miles south of here last night.
Welsh slipped on a glacier and fell
into a 20-foot crevasse. The boy left
his companion and set out for help over
a route which forced him to descend
the slopes of Mount Olympic, the high
eat peak in the range, across a 6000
foot divide and Dodwell and Rixon pass
and travel 20 mountain ' miles. The
trip was made in 24 hours.
MERMAIDS MODEST HERE
Bathing Suits Not Too Abbreviated,
Says Harbor Master.
There is nothing wrong with bathing
suit styles in Portland in the opinion
of Harbormaster Speier. There may be
some that run dangerously near the
Jumping off place of modesty, but on
the whole they are all quite respect
able. Such in effect wan Captain
Speier's report yesterday to Mayor
Albee's secretary. Will H. Warren, who
asked for an investigation of reports
of immodesty and improper conduct at
some of the resorts.
Captain Speler reported that In his
opinion there Is no cause for the com
plaints. "I'm a sailor man and may not
look through the eyes of a saint." said
the captain, "but I couldn't see any
thing wrong."

NORTH BEND, Or.. Aug. 24. (Spe
cial.) Visitors to the Coos Bay Rail
road celebration Joined with the people
of North Bend tonight in celebrating
another event which means almost as
much to them as does the completion
of the railroad itself. This event waa
the dedication of Simpson Park, a nat
ural playground within the city, which
now becomes the property of North
Bend through the generosity of Louis J.
Simpson.
The ceremonies took place within the
park itself and attracted thousands of
persons. The visiting delegations from
Portland. San Francisco, Eugene and
other places turned out in organized
bodies to attend. Peoplo came by tho
hundred's from Marsh field and from
other Coos County points and virtually
the entire population of North Bend
was present.
Beauty Is Unsurpassed.
A more beautiful natural park doe.
not exist. It consists of nearly 100
acres, covered with stately fir trees,
rising to enormous heights. The
grounds is in th,e shape of a bowl, form
ing a tort of natural temple.
One of the most remarkable quali
ties of the park, next to its unspoiled
beauty. Is its acoustic properties. For
an outdoor theater it really is wonder
ful. Some of the speakers tonight did
not raise their voices much above a
conversational tone, yet they could be
beard quite distinctly far on the out
skirts, and even beyond the space re
quired by the audience.
Tract Worth $100,000.
The dramatic incident in connection
with the ceremonies was the formal
presentation of the deed for the prop
erty on the part of Mr. Simpson, rep
resenting the Simpson Estate, of which
he Is the principal owner. The prop
erty is ' said to represent a value of
$100,000.
Mr. Simpson was cheered vocifer
ously when : he was introduced, and
again following his brief address.
The park was accepted on behalf of
the city, by Mayor Russell, of North
Bend.
Inspired by the generous act of Mr.
Simpson, the Brookings Lumber Com
pany, at Brookings, Curry . County, is
contemplating, it is said, the presenta
tion of a section of redwood property
to the Btate. Governor Withycombe.
in his opening address thia evening,
referred to this supposition and ex
pressed the hope that these redwood
trees, which are the only ones in Ore
gon, might become the property of the
state.
Portland Cements Friendship.
Edgar ' B. Piper, managing editor of
The Oregonian. spoke on behalf of the
Portland delegation. His subject was
Coos May. Portland and Oregon. He
referred pleasantly to the presence of
the San Francisco people and reminded
his hearers that Oregon is the mother
of California; that Oregon, in fact, was
an organized territory of the United
States before California was American
territory. Completion of the new rail
road, he said, now will make Coos Bay
commercially a part of Oregon, instead
of a part of California, yet he reminded
the audience that Portland did not
come on a mere trade-seeking excur
sion, but rather to cement the ties of
friendship that heretofore have been
neglected on account of the absence of
a railroad.
C. S. Jackson, of Portland, was called
on and spoke in a humorous vein.
Sam Francisco Congratulates.
Robert Newton Lynch, vice-president
of the San Francisco Chamber of Com
merce, spoke for the California visitors
and felicitated the people of the Coos
country on their numerous natural op
portunities which the new railroad
merely served to accentuate.
M. C. Dressier, of Springfield, spoke
on behalf of the people of the Willam
ette Valley, while Judge William Col
vig appeared as the representative of
the Southern Pacific Company. He
brought greetings from President
Sproule and other officials.
Judge John S. Coke, speaking in a
happy vein, gave the reply for the peo-
pie of Coos Bay. Judge E. O. Potter,
of Eugene, presided. The Ad Club
quartet, of Portland, and Kaiser's Coos
Bay band furnished the music.
