RATES MAY BE INCREASED Congressional Appropriation to Meet Deficit From Higher Wage Is Another Possibility. wSHTVf!TOX. Auir. 10. Early ac tion to settle unrest In the ranks of railroad employes who have been de manding; new wag Increase was fore cast today. After a I-ngthy conference with the representatives of the six shop crafts, ri rector-General Hines went to the White House to discuss with President W ilson the problems facing the rail road administration. While no an nouncement was made. It wae under stood the entire question was reviewed, Including the obvious necessity for an Increase in rates or anotner congres sional appropriation to provide funds for any wage advances that may be made, since the administration has been incurring a deficit every month this vear due to the falling off In buel Bess and the higher cost of labor and materials. Iaqelry Not to Be Awaited. Mr. Htnes promleed the shopmen' leaders that he would give careful con sideration to all the facts presented and would endeavor to reach a final decision In the near future, indicating that he will order Into effect any changes In the wage scale without re ferring the demands to a board for In vestigatlon. The shopmen's demands were presented in the spring to the board of railway wages and Working conditions, which took extensive tes timony and then divided evenly ' for and against a rise. Delay in acting on the demands eventually resulted in the recent unauthorised strikes In many sections of the country. Leaders of the shopmen, outlining the reasons for their demands, said . that tbey did not rest primarily on the Increased cost of living, although that was a contributing factor,' but were based on the proposition that the wages of railroad shopmen ought to be more in line with wages for similar work, in other industries. Wajcea Said ts Be Lwr. It was claimed by. the union officials that the wages paid railroad shopmen are materially lower than those paid shopmen in private Industries and in shipyards and navy yards, under gov ernment control. The minimum rate paid hy the railroads now is 68 cents an hour, which la asked to be advanced to Si cents, an increase of 25 per cent. ' ' Until the shopmen's demands are out of the way. Mr. Hines is not taking time limit wilt break up the rreat In flow of foreigners. The hill provides that aliens coming within exemption clauses of the present law must obtain passports from their own governments, vised by consular agents of the United Mates and limited as to time. Prospective Citimen. But the hill does not stop there. Aliens who under present laws are eligible to citizenship would be permit ted to come to the United States with out passports, providing they state in to reside hers and become cltlxens. They must agree to register at least once a year, failure to do so being a cause for deportation. Failure to take out first papers at the end of two Ms re' residence also is cause for de portation. After taking out papers allhs must remain here five years for final citl-zc-nbhip. with a time allowance off for knowledge of the elements- of tbe American plan of government and proficiency in the English language. If an alien does not acquire citizenship in eight years he is sent home. The committee hopes to provide a plan by which citizens of contiguous territory, Canada and Mexico, may vis it the United States on cards issued annually.

Harding, a fruit grower of this county, who consigned several carloads of pears to the Northwestern Fruit Distributors, C. A. Malbeouf. sales agent. In 1917, has just received word that a decision of the Washington state supreme court has awarded him payment for the fruit. The pears Involved In the transac tion were shipped from one point to another by the distributors until they were overripe and badly damaged. finally being; disposed of at a price far below original value. The Umnqua Valley Fruit union, as Mr. Harding's agent, brought action to collect the amount alleged to be equal to the dif ference between what the pears Were worth when consigned and what they sold for. A Judgment was secured, in the circuit court for $2500. The case was appealed, and after 18 months' litigation the Washington tribunal af firmed the ruling of the lower court. WASHINGTON", Aug. 20. America, by consenting to the guarantee of ter- ritorles under the league of nations, will place itself against conscience and Judgment to participate in the great war which the treaty of peace prom Ises, Senator McCormick, republican, Illinois, declared In an address today in the senate. The Illinois senator said that Presi dent Wilson had put his name to an agreement which betrayed an ally and friend, and kept from the Chinese "that which was his and of which he had been robbed with an equal hypocrisy and violence." "The government of the United States," continued Senator McCormick "wishes to assent to the wrong done China In Shantung upon the verbal as surance of Baron Makino, the Japanese foreign minister, that presently the wrong will . be undone. Ostrich-like, our government had declined to recog nize that the promises of the great Asiatic military power fronting oar Pacific coast are to be measured by her performances in the past. By that measurement the promises are worth less. For 85 venrn Jananese fnreiern rpolicy in Asia has been one of con sistent perfidy and aggression. Future Warfare Pictured. 'Japan twice broke her solmn ua derstanding with the United States," continued Senator McCormick, "and. in deliberate, secret violation of her other international engagements, sought to reduce China to the state of vassalage in which Great Britain holds Egypt, and into which she is drawing Persia. 'During the year 1900 the outraged Chinese made futile resistence against aggression in the Boxer uprising. That uprising, that siege, are ominous of the years to come, when either the 400,000,000 Chinese, once subjected by Japan, may be marshaled against the republic which betrayed them, or, re sisting subjugation, may rise to join the Coreans to drive the invaders from the eastern shores of continental Asia. Then, under the terrible tenth article of the covenant of the league, we shall be bound in honor to levy our legions, to send forth our young men by the million, in defense of the Japanese do minions on the further shores of the Yellow sea. Sedition Laid to Submission. The covenant and the treaty which we are asked to approve guarantees the territorial acquisition of the three principal powers holding dominion over subject people British. Japanese and French. I do not decry the service to civili zation of the British empire. It has brought peace to millions. But that has been a policeman's peace. "What is true of the British is true of the French and the Japanese do minions over subject peoples. They have brought material prosperity, but no democratic progress. Almost wher ever you go among those myriad mil lions in Asia and Africa you find sedi tion and rebellion. If ever those sub ject peoples rise and the Chinese or the Russians strike hands with them, that will constitute 'external aggression' nder the covenant. Then our young men must march by thousands to drive Invaders back from . the Yalu. the Ganges, the Tigris or the Euphrates. scampered off with them to some hiding place in the rocks. A white mouse was seen at the top of the mountain by one of the guides, who killed the animal and turned the skin over to me for a record. It is almost Inconceiv able how the little animals made their way across the snow fields. They undoubtedly followed the mountain climbers. Other life that we discovered at the top of the mountain this year included butterflies, bees, birds and green moss." The chipmunks may enjoy steam heated "apartments" on the top of the mountain during the winter, according to Mr. Finley. At certain points in the crater warm streams of air are con tinually arising from the slumbering volcano. It was considered likely that the little animals spend their long period of hibernation curled up among the rocks. Mr. Finley Is surveying natural bird and animal life In Oregon and Wash ington for the national parks service. An elaborate booklet Is to be prepared by the bureau shortly upon life within the parks and Mr. Finley will con tribute a large number of the photo graphs.

Drastic plans to cut the cost of livinsr were outlined Wednesday, wnen Councilman Harry Bolton declared he would place an ordinance before the council providing for a $600,000 bond issue for the establishment of a muni- clDal market. Bolton said he would have the ordi nance ready so that voters could de, cide upon the issue at the next elec, tlon. In March, 1920. "If the people hadn't listened to pro duce merchants and the wholesalers two years ago, when they defeated a bond issue similar to the one I am going to introduce, they would have saved themselves millions of dollars," said Bolton. "Maybe they will look upon this next one more favorably.' The bond issue he referred to called for the sale of $600,000 in bonds for the establishment of a municipal mar ket, and It. was defeated, 28,681 votes sroing against it and 15.952 in its favor. "I want to see a market where the middleman may be eliminated," said Bolton. "These men are responsible for 0 per cent of the unnecessary high cost of foodstuffs." Councilman C. B.

Drive the Little Animals lato Ecstasy om Mount Halnler. CHIPMUNKS and deer-mice follow V ing in the footsteps of man have picked their way across the great snow fields of Mount Rainier and are now making their homes in the crevices of the crater at the top of the highest snow peak in continental United States. Reports of the little inhabi tants of the mountain top were given by W. L. Finley, state biologist, who recently returned with Mrs. Finley after an outing in the Rainier national park. There were heretofore no records or animals living at such a great altitude at a point isolated by giant glaciers snd holding no natural food. It is Mr. Finlsy's theory that the mice and chipmunks followed climbers up ths mountain trail to the top and have lived there by gathering crumbs of food which the visitors have dropped. "When at the top of Mount Rainier we were more than surprised to see a chipmunk among the rocks," Mr. Finley said. "The little animal was quite tame and we were able to fret within a few feet of it and feed it crumbs. We tossed It a few nuts and the sight of them fairly drove him Into ecstacy.
