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

and Ammunition.

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.

ton stepped out fnomentarlly young
Kidder darted in behind the postoffice
boxes and seised what money he could

at the time. He was' placed in jail
