PRESIDENT TAKES UP
RAILWAY MEN'S PAY
Wilson Holds Conference With
Director-General.
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

But the hill does not stop there.
Aliens who under present laws are
eligible to citizenship would be permit

They must agree to register at least
once a year, failure to do so being a
cause for deportation. Failure to take

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

VESTIGATION REPORTED,
Public Pays More for Vegetables and
Fruits in Northern City
Than in Portland.
SEATTLE, Wash., Aug. 20. (Special.)
Regardless of the fact that Seattle
has a large farming district and good
roada on which the produce can be
brought from its suburbs into the city
to be sold, public market prices are
higher here than in Portland, accord
ing to an investigation made Wednes
day morning of Seattle's public mar
kets by George L. Baker, mayor of
Portland; H. M. White, his private sec
retary and Chief of Police N. F. John
son. These men had determined the
prices in Portland's public markets
Tuesday.
It was found that Seattle, corn sold
Wednesday at the rate of four ears
for 25 cents, or five ears for that Drice
if they were small ones, while In Port
land corn was 35 cents Der dozen Tues
day, which was the top price. Lettuce
nere costs 5 and 10 cents a head
against S cents in Portland. Seattle
tomatoes cost 20 cents a pound, or 16
cents for the small ones, while in Port
land they cost 7 cents per round. Other
comparative prices are as follows:
potatoes Seattle, eight pounda for
o cents and seven pounds for 2.i cents
Portland, 2 cents per pound. Apples,
Seattle, 5 cents per pound: Portland
cents per pound. Cabbage, Seattle,
to 7 cents per pound; Portland, 3 cents
per pound. Blackberries, Seattle. 15
cents per box, two for 26 cents; Port
ifcnd, iu cents per box. three for 25
cents. Eggs, Seattle, 6B, OS and 70
cents per dozen: Portland. 53 cents r.er
dozen, top price. Butter, Seattle, 70
cents per pound; Portland, 58 cents.
Major Baker said that he and his
committee found that those paying 10
cents per day for stands in Seattle's
public markets charged more for sev-
ral commodities than those havln
private stands. He said that this is
especially noticeable In the price of
tomatoes, and that there nnnenrert to

were told of what Mayor Baker had
learned here they declared an investi

Bond Issue of $600,000 for Purpose
to Be Submitted to Voters of
City at Next Election.
SEATTLE. "Wash.. Aug. 20. (Spe
clal.) 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. Fitzgerald de
clared he favored the market, provid
ing the people demand it.

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. He
