THE MORNING OEEGOXIAN. THURSDAY, AUGUST 1, 1918. 13 THOUGH T TO BE WELL-ARMED Officers Combing Woods for Thompson and Thurber Look for Conflict. the board said ware controversies will be considered individually as hereto fore. Hearings on the question of a mini mum wage had been held and the board was expected to establish a minimum In the near future; The board's decision was set forth In a unanimous resolution declaring "it would be unwise to make orders in this Interregnum based on approved views of progress in normal times, which, un der war conditions, might seriously im pair the present economic structure of our country." Declaring the period of the war not to be a normal period of industrial ex pansion, the resolution says "the em ployer does not expect unusual profits or the employe abnormal wages. Cap ital should have only such reasonable return as will assure -its use for the world's and Nation's rauft. while the 'it THREE REVOLVERS STOLEN phys!ca! -- ? d-iu comfort reasonable in view of the exi- I gencies of the war, should likewise be assured." , Employers and workers were called upon to compose their differences in accord with the principles laid down In President Wilson's labor proclamation last April 8. Railroad employes were told by Di rector General McAdoo in announcing details of the wage increase for more than 00,000 shopmen that the Nation expected new energy from the workers in return for pay increases and Im provejnents in employment conditions, and that strikes and other labor dis turbances must be eliminated during the war. Vj. Escaped ConTlct Believed to Hav fl'if' Entered Salem Store Xlgbt of Getaway and Procured Arms and Ammunition. i.' - : Bennett Thompson ard Fred Thurbe .. escaped convicts from the penitentiary at Salem, are believed by prison off! clals, state police and deputy sheriffs. -.r. : now hunting for the two fugitives, to T."i be armed and well supplied with am munition. Developments today disclose tha Hauser'a hardware store at Salem was entered the night that Thompson an Thurber made their escape from th . prison, three revolvers and a quantity . . of ammunition being stolen. It is be , lleved that Thompson and Thurber may be responsible for the robbery and tha -an encounter will result when th guards and deputy sheriffs close In on , ,- . the fugitives, unless they are surprised, Investigations yesterday by the po lice revealed the fact that Margaret -Thompson, wife of the murderer, who has lived her since Thompson was ... committed to the penitentiary, left Port -' land about three weeks ago. Inquiry at the home of Thompson s parents, who reside in the city, failed to reveal - " the whereabouts of the woman. ' ." Men Headed South. Beliet. The theory at first advanced that Thompson would come to Portland or T appear near tha scene of his crime at Tualatin now Is scouted by the search 'ers, and although reports indicated ; that Thompson and Thurber were near Hillsdale yesterday. It is thought by 'Soma that they may cava doubled on Z -their tracks when the chase became too I hot and headed for the hills of South- - ern Oregon, where It Is believed that Jessa Baldwin, who Is still at large, aought concealment. - Owing to the desperate character of the two convicts, the guards are armed to tha teeth and prepared for instant battle should Thompson and his pal offer resistance when encountered.- The hunt for the murderer and his compan ? Ion continued yesterday in the vicinity : of Malloy and Hillsdale, where it was reported that Thompson was at first seen. : Because of relatives and friends that I Thompson has outside, there Is no . doubt, according to soma 01 the oi : flcials. that many false reports have " been sent out regarding the possible whereabouts of Thompson and Thurber. Escape Senatloaal One. Tha escape of Thompson and Thurber at Salem Monday night was tha most sensational break from the penitentiary ; since Harry Tracy, the notorious out- - law, scaled the prison walls after klll- Ing two of the prison guards and ; headed for the heavily wooded district of Western Washington. A man hunt cov ring a period of several weeks for Tracy claimed four ' ' more victims before Tracy was cor I ' nered in a wheatfieM near Davenport, - Wash., and blew -off .the top of his u--- with a rifle rather than be taken prisoner by his pursuers. Jeff Baldwin, who made his escape .- -from the prison a short time ago, was i ..- a boon companion of Thompson, ac- cording to the authorities. ... . Every aectlon of the wooded coun try between Multnomah Station and -':. Tualatin waa combed last night by - members of the Oregon State Police ' and Deputy Sheriffs for trace of - - - Thompson and Thurber. . Depatles Sorroond Cabin. "' Deputy Sheriffs early yesterday morning surrounded a cabin near the scene of the Jennings murder, believ ing that Thompson was In hiding there. fo trace of him could be found. During the night they searched every section of the country near where r Thompson was seen early Tuesday at the store of Ben Day at Malloy. Testerday Sheriff Hurlburt received . a message saying that two men an- awering descriptions of the two es caped convicts had been seen in the brush' near Multnomah station. Major Delch. of the Oregon State Police, sent - a detachment of men to the scene, and Sheriff Hurlburt also sent deputies - there. No further report had been re -- eived at a late hour last night. Some officials believe that Thompson - Is hiding In that vicinity, where he has a number of friends who 'might assist him. A posse will be kept searching the woods of that section for another day or two at least. locaoi aocaoi I0E3O Norwegian Women's Red Cross Auxiliary Will Meet. in Auditorium, 4th Floor, Today From 10 to 4 Full Attendance Desired.
