JUL BILL VICTORY
BRINGS STRIKE TALK
Union Spokesmen Expect Di
rsct Appeal for Veto.
WAGE DISCUSSION BITTER
Oonference in Hot Debate Attacks
President's Settlement Proposal.
Acceptance Is In Doubt.
m
WASHINGTON. Feb. Railroad
labor is not satisfied with the way
things are going over Its wage de
mands. This was Indicated in eon-
ferences today of union officials and
general committeemen, called to pass
in the president's settlement pro
saX Passage of the railroad bill by
tbe senate tonight only added more
Ditterne&a to talk ol the union
workers.
Arrival of the committee chairmen
-union leaders closest to the rank
and file brought out strike talk.
, Higher officers were inclined to dis
count this evidence of the workers'
reeling, but hotel lobbies bussed wi'Ji
possibilities. There were Indications
that the union heads who have dealt
with Director-General Hines were
worried lest all that had been accom
plished might be wrecked. Commit
tee chairmen spoke frankly of the
sentiment in the local groups, de
scribLig it thus:
"Their temper is not such as to
warrant us being optimistic."
Veto Appeal ' Expected.
Union spokesmen believed there
was no way to avoid a direct appeal
to the president to veto the Cummins
Each measure. They declared it must
be done to satisfy the workers who
have not had a "clseup" of the situ
ation.
But as to hope that the legislation
might yet be blocked, there was little
expression. Labor's appeal to con
gress having been rebuffed, some
leaders were said to have assumed the
attitude that the legislators were
"trying to see how far they can go
oy nagging us."
Heaied discussions marked all con
ferences of the 15 organisations
Which met separately. None was
able to finish examination of the
documents transmitted between union
officials, the director-general and the
White House, as delegates continued
to Insist on assailing "the unfairness
with which congress and the govern
ment has dealt with us."
Prrsldeat's Proposal Attacked.
The president's proposal is by no
means sure or acceptance by the
unions. It drew attack from various
angles, according to 'information
which leaked out of the secret meet-
lr ps.
The gist of the strike talk, as ex
pressed by several union officers, was
that the railroad organisations have
reason to assert their strength
through a walkout. Cut it was deemed
inadvisable by them at least, tocirry
out such a programme. Gne leader
declared that the action of the
brotherhood of maintenance of way
employes and shop laborers in issu
ing the recent strike call, had hurt
the workers' cause materially. He
characterized that sort of thing as
"damning us in the eyes of the
people."
Leaders were confident of . their
power to call a strike which would
tie up all transportation, bat their
attitude was that peaceable means
should be employed If possible.
Because of the dissatisfaction i their long haul rates so low that
come a 'fcrrr'oT rights for labor, and
Insured the employment of the power
of the United States, when Invoked to
safeguard those rights."
Expressing disappointment that the
conferees had eliminated the strike
and compulsory arbitration features.
Senator Myers, democrat, Montana,
declared this was necessary in order
to get railroad legislation enacted by
March L. Senator Myers attacked or
ganised labor for its attitude toward
the railroad bill and other measures.
"Organised labor Is the greatest
menace before the country today, he
said. "Mr. Gompers in some respects
is the most powerful man in the
United States more powerful than
the president The president can veto
bills, but he can't prevent tneir pass-
age. Mr. Gompers can.
Bill Declared Unfair.
The section relating to road earn
in its was attacked as "communistic
and bolshevistic" by Senator McKel
lar democrat. . Tennessee, one or
those, who led the fight against the
bill during its first consideration m
the senate. While the conference
committee had greatly Improved the
measure, he said. It still remained
"unfair and unjust to the American
people."

labor unjustly attacks any senator for
his stand regarding labor legiBiaiion
ha ouirht to be willing to go aown
to defeat if necessary, if he was so
secure in the conviction that he voted
for the greatest good for the greatest
number."
The bill was opposed by Senator
Plttman. democrat, Nevada, wno pre
dicted that "turmoil and chaos" in
the industrial world would follow
rInM nnnn Its enactment.
"I think it would be far better,"
he said, "to return the roads with'
out any legislation than to return
rh.m with legislation framed to meet
a political expediency. I am opposed
tn government ownersniD. ana i iw
lieve if there is anything that will
bring government ownership it
passage of this bill. It throws on
the government all the responsibility
and liability and at the same time
deprives the government of any right
of ownership."
Evil Declared Perpetuated.
Senator Plttman raised against the
bill the old issus arising out of the
long and short haul clause of the
Interstate commerce act.
"This bill perpetuates an evil that
has resulted in discrimination against
every interior community in the
United States," he said.
This bill will allow the railroads
to charge more for hauling freight to
Reno, Nev, .to Salt Lake City, to Spo
kane and to Albuquerque, N. M., than
they charge for hauling freight clear
through and past these communities
to the Pacific coast. That is an In
justice that we should never allow.'
That condition does not arise out
of the bill," Senator Poindexter, re
publican, of Washington, Interrupted
him. "but does arise out of existing
law.'
Senator Plttman retorted that It
the representatives of the interior
cities would hold up the passage of
the general bill, their grievance might
be remedied in the interstate com
merce act.
Senator Poindexter, one of the sen
ate conferees on the bill, in further
reply to Senator Plttman said it was
the only piece of legislation brought
up since 1910 which in any fashion
met the long and short haul discrimination.
Rates to Be Limited.
Railroads will not bs allowed to
make lower rates for long hauls than
they do for short hauls over the
same distance on the ground that
they have to meet potential water
competition at coast-lines," he said.
This bill stops that. There is a
second point which will aid the in
terior communities. Railroads are
'orbidden under this measure to make

that some roads would earn not more
than 2 per cent.
"With respect to the labor provl-
slons of the conference report," Sen
ator Cummins added, "I am utterly
unable to understand the opposition
which they have aroused among labor
leaders, for they leave all free men,
whether employes or employers, to do
whatsoever they please at any time,
at any place or under any circum
stances." Senator Cummins said that 11.250,
00.000 had been appropriated for ex
penditure by the railroad administra
tion. "We are now appropriating 1500.
000.000 more," he said, "and before
' the close of the present fiscal year
we will be compelled to make an
- other appropriation of not less than
$400,000,000. in all $3,160,000,000. Of
this vast sum, it is expected the rail
roads during the next decade will
pay to the government of the ad
vances so made sums which in the
aggregate will reduce the govern
ment's expenditures to something like
$850,000,000 and this will represent
the loss Incurred In two years and
two months of government operation.
"The amounts I have given you are
government estimates and do not in
clude claims asserted by the railroads
and denied by the railroad admlnls
. tratlon."

' Senator Robinson, democrat, Arkan
'aa, one of the conferees and author
-of the anti-strike provision of the
1 .senate bill, which was discarded in
( conference, reviewed the measure at
'some length, dealing particularly with
the labor situation.
The labor provisions, fairly con
strued, do not justify the assaults
made upon them," he said. "This is
not a government of labor organlsa
0 tions. It must not be perverted in
character, so as to become the means
of denying rights of justice to any
class of law-abiding citisena"
He added that "this measure be-
HE DARKENED HIS
. GRAYJAIR
TcQa How He Did It.
Mr. J. A. McCres, a well-known
i resident of San Francisco, who was
. called Daddy and Grandpa on account
of his white hair, and who darkened
it with a home-made mixture, re
cently made the following statement:
"Anyone can prepare a simple mix
ture at home that will darken gray
hair, and make it soft and glossy. To
a half-pint of water add 1 ounce of
bay rum, a small box of Barbo Com
pound and 'i ounce of glycerine.
These ingredients can be bought at
any drug store at very little cost.
Apply to the hair twice a week unUI
the desired shade Is obtained. It does
not color the scalp. Is not sticky or
grew and does not rub off." AdT,
they don't meet the actual out-of-
pocket costs of rendering the service.
These two things will go far towards
mitigating the evil of which the sen
ator from Nevada justly complained."
Senator Gronna,' republican. North
Dakota, said his opposition to the bill
was based- on the rate-making sec
tion and the labor provision, the lat
ter being, in his optn-ion, unfair to
labor.
Senator Overman, democrat. North
Carolina, expressed the belief that
the rate making section was uncon
stitutional. Senator Williams, democrat, Miss
issippi, asserted that while there
were several things In the bill which
he did not favor, he believed it to
be essential to return of the rail
roads to private control.

Mr. Hayes assailed those features of
the bill which he said guaranteed

asserted, was fed by popular resent

Mr. Hayes declared that the labor

field a full presidential ticket as wen
as congressional tickets.
"There is no doubt that the people

OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU,
Washington, Feb. 23. Efforts on the
part of the railroad labor organiza
tions to defeat the Esch-Cummins bill
in the senate proceeded -today, but
with much less steam than the fight
was made in the house last Saturday
when the opposition was simply
crushed.
Leaders of the railroad brotherhoods
looked jilscouraged today and they
were truly disheartened. It became
known, however, that their depres
slon was not alone due to the be
wildering defeat administered by the
house two days ago. There was an
other and more painful reason for
their being crestfallen. It has leaked
out that a very large element In the
railroad workmen themselves have
become strike-weary.
The radical leaders, who some
months ago embarked the brother
hoods on a policy of bolshevism, fol
lowing the path marked out by Glenn
E. Plumb, author of the Plumb plan,
have been hearing from the rank and
file who say that they are satisfied
with good wages and improved work
ing conditions. This conservative
element, which is strong in the
brotherhood membership, has let the
leaders know that they have no de
sire to confiscate the property. All
iney aesire is a cnance 10 wori auu
earn a full days pay.
White House Target of Fight,
The fight on the Esch-Cummlns
bill now Is to be directed solely at
the White House, but no one could
be found today who believed that the
president will veto the measure. It
was even said by some of the leading
democrats in congress that both Mr
Wilson and Director General Hines
like the measure, regarding it as
strong, constructive legislation. -
And Mr. Wilson also Is said to
be weary of the constant threats of
the railroad brotherhoods and Intent
on signing the bill soon after it
reaches him. The fifteen organiza
tions of railroad workmen met here
today, but their leaders were not so
cocksure as on other occasions. In
fact, they looked crestfallen. In scan
mng the rollcall of last Saturday's
ouse vote they sound that many for
mer tried-and-true friends had de
serted them, men who voted for the
Adamson bill and heretofore have
upported every other piece of legis
lation asked by working men.
Former friends of the railroad
workmen deserted them when it was
seen that the opposition of the
rotherhoods was not aimed at any
particular features of the bill.
Two Purposes Seen.
In the fight of the brotherhoods on
he Esch-Cuinmlns measure, old sup
porters could see two purposes; first
to defeat the bill and force the gov
ernment to retain control of the rail
roads for two years longer; second,
to defeat the bill and have the rail
roads go back to the owners without
legislation, which would mean their
certain collapse and thereby discredit
private ownership.-
The brotherhood leaders realize
that they cannot force the private
owners to pay wages in excess of the
ncome of the roads. The govern
ment has done that for more than
two years. The public, which after
all. must pay the excess wages, will
ot expect the private owners to ne
gotiate with the workmen on the
basis that Uncle Sam has been deal
ing with them.
Another development is that the
Plumb-plan league has not gathered
the strength that was promised by
its founders. It is noted that al
though Mr. Plumb has always spoken
membership of 2,000,000, the
headquarters of the league bas given
out no figures to show that the
league has even one-third of that
membership. It is understood- that
only 600,000 of the 2.000,000 men em
ployed on the railroads have joined
the Plumb-plan to sovletize the rail
road industry. '
World Raps "Bussing- Minorities."
The New York World, democratic,
in its leading editorial today, took
sharply to task those democrats in
the house who voted agains the
Esch-Cummins bill; taking as its text
a statement by Vice-President Mar
shall that "buzzing minorities" as rep
resented by certain active lobbies
cause too many in Washington to
take fright. The World said: "When
the house of representatives passed
the railroad reorganization bill, 249
to 150, it gave one of these buzzing
minorities to understand that for the
moment It was not to be frightened.
Some direful predictions had been
made as to what would happen if the
demands of the railroad brotherhoods
for government ownership were un
heeded. There might be nation-wide
strikes. In any case, every man who
opposed the edict of the lobby would
be marked for life.
"Illustrating once more the intel
lectual insolvency of the democratic
party. It Is to be noted that of the
congressmen who opposed the bill
and practically arrayed themselves in
favor of a railroad soviet, 125 are
classified as democrats. To a meas
ure, which served notice on Lenine
and Trotzky that their system is not
wanted here, considerably more than
one-half of the party membership lis
tening only to the buzzing, openly de
clared their hostility.''

Associations and individuals seeking

that they should take care not to

Discussing intolerance, he declared:
"One of the manifestations of pa
ranoia is a fixed conviction that the
victim is right and that everybody
not agreeing with him is his per

caused by shell shock. Have the

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23. M. Protich
again has been named premier of the
Jungo-Slav cabinet, the legation of
the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes was
officially Informed today in & cable
from Belgrade. The new ministry, it
is understood, has been formed from
the 20 or more political groups of
parliament, and is in a sense a coali
tion cabinet.
The new cabinet from all advices
is only temporary and is expected to
continue in power only bo long as
the . Adriatic question remains un
settled. No elections having taken
place In Serbia since 1913, the Serbian
parliament has been depleted as a
result of the Balkan and world wars.
No elections have taken place in

liament and election of new members.
Refusal of M. Vesnich to form a
new cabinet, following the resigna
tion of Premier Davidovitch last
week was said to have been due to
his disinclination to assume power
until the legislative assembly had
been dissolved. Advices, however.

sumption of the trial of the ten al

expected to begin tomorrow morning
with one of the alternate jurors sit
ting in the place of Edward Parr,
who will be discharged because of be
ing stricken with influenza.
Court has not convened since last
Thursday, Illness of Parr causing a
suspension of the sessions. Selection
of an alternate will be made at the
opening of court tomorrow, such se
lection to be by lot, the clerk to draw
the name from the jury box.
Judge John M. Wilson has said that
there would be no more delay. He
would have discharged Parr last Fri
day or Saturday had he known his
Illness would have been of more than
two days' duration, he said yesterday.
Insanity Plea Is Expected.
Upon resumption of the taking of
testimony it was expected that de
fense counsel would begin Its fight
for Loren Roberts, one of the ten de
fendants, for whom a plea of insanity
has been entered. Alienists, it is un
derstood, will be the principal wit
nesses placed on the stand in an at
tempt to prove this contention. The
prosecution has announced that it
will resist such defense and also has
obtained the services of alienists.
Six of the ten defendants rebelled
today, refusing to eat the breakfast
placed before them and throwing the
food and utensils Into the jail corri
dor. They were punished for the dem
onstration, it was said at the county
Jail. The six recalcitrants were: El

Eugene Barnett, John Lamb and
James Mclnerney.
Solitary Confinement Given.
Jail officials said the six prisoners
were- satisfied with the food, but
threw It away just to show their con
tempt for the prison rules. Before be

the men were made to clear the corri
