SETTLERS CONTEST RIGHT
Attempt Will Be Made to Prevent
Irrigation Company From Col
lecting Maintenance Charges.
BEXD. Or.. March 24. (Special.)
Attorneys for the settlers on the cen
tral Oregon irrigation segregation
made their first definite move today
in a campaign to oust the Central
Oregon Irrigation company from con
trol of tie irrigation system and the
lands which it waters, by filing a suit
In equity to prevent the company from
collecting any maintenance charges or
from enforcing the collection on cut-

Johnson streets, had the left leg
above the knee fractured and his face
cut when the motorcycle on which
he was riding collided with a wood
truck driven by E. G. Bruce, 143 Ad
miral avenue, at the intersection o'f
Front and Porter streets, yesterday
morning at 11 o'clock.
The injured man was taken to
St. Vincent's hospital for treatment.
He is working as a collector.
Mr. Schuback was riding west on
Porter street at the time. The wood
truck was going south on Front street
and turned to go east on Porter.
Fred Ingram, 569 Spokane avenue
a foreman in the Sellwood woolen
mills, is in the Sellwood hospital with
a bruised head as the result of rid
ing his motorcycle into a machine
driven by C. Hummel. 734 Sandy
boulevard, Tuesday night at East
Thirteenth Mj-eet and Tenino ave

that Ingram ran into the rear of his
machine.
QUERY PUZZLES COUNCIL
QUESTION OF UXIOX OR XOX-
CXIOX LABOR ASKED.
Hospital Work Threatened hy De
mands for Regular Scale of
$6 a Day for Help.
"What are you going to do when
various union crafts working on a
tion system is put
supply water for the acreage which
has already been purchased.
The suit is broustht in the name of
II. H. Dietrich, rancher near Terre
Bonne, and the interests of the set
tlers are bein? represented by Harri-
union laborers?" was the puzzling
query asked Mayor Baker and mem
ber of the city council yesterday
morning. A. L. Barbur. commissioner
of public works, asked it. The ulti
mate collective answer was, "Have no
son Allen and John It. Latourette of I trouble, but get the work done,"
Portland, and by Dearmond and Krs
kine of Bend.
neKtraininic Order Given.
The filing of proceedings against
the company was accompanied by
temporary restraining order issued
by Circuit Judge Duffy, which pre
vents the defendant from making any
further sales of water rights or from
making delivery of water to any
lands in or out of the segregation in
addition to those now being served.
The order also prevents the delivery
of water for 360 acres in the Powell
Butte country, temporarily nullifying
the permission given by the desert
land board at its meeting December
4 of last year. The court sets March
Jl as'the date on which the company
may show cause why an injunction
should not be issued to cover these
points.
The settlers contend that during
1519 the company was able to supply
only 23.000 acres out of a total of
44.000 with water, and that full ca
pacity of the irrigation system was
taxed to perform this service. It is
further contended that last season a
large number of settlers had an in
sufficient supply of water, and that
eome of them lost their entire crops
because of this.
Rate Hearing April 1
According to the original contract
with the state, the Central Oregon
Irrigation company was to have given
up control in 1917, but special leg
islation allows the corporation to re
main in possession until October of
the present year.
A hearing before the state public
service commission will be held in
Deschutes on April 1 on the petition
of the company to .charge ?2 per acre
for maintenance fees. instead of SO
cents and $1 per acre," as is provided
in contracts with the individual settlers.

which means that workers at the reg
uiar scale of 6 a da will be employed.
Construction of the city s isolation
hospital at Kelly Butte is under way,
Mr. Barbur's department having su
pervision, and when a resolution was
read at the council session authoriz
ing him to appoint a superintendent
at $10 a day, carpenters at 8 and
common laborers at $6. Commissioner
Bigelow at once sat up and inquired
why the $6 for laborers.
"Regular scale," replied Mr. Barbur.
"Regular scale what do you
mean?" queried Mr. Bigelow.
"I mean it's the regular scale paid
to union laborers and if you pay less
you not only get less work but you
have ill feeling on the part of other
craftsmen on the job p d you don't
get anywhere that way."
Still Mr. Bigelow thought there
would be grief should the resolution
be adopted.
We will have all kinds of trouble
with our own laborers, ho are get
ting J3." said Mr. Bigelow. "This
thing will come home to roost with
us. sure."
'Let it come and roost as long as
it wants to," replied Mr. Barbur.
"There are many things wanting to
roost now the state public service
commission, tor Instance, -referring
to the street-car fare decision. "If it
continues this council will have to
build a regular hen house here at the
city hall."
Mayor Baker smoothed -ut the situ
ation by suggesting that this subject
is considerable of an emergency -and
he wondered whether it should be
held up on account of the labor fea
ture. Mr. Bigelow said he would not
go so far as to delay proceedings,
but said, "Remember, it will come
back to us."
Adoption of the resolution was
therefore unanimous.
A delegation from the vicinity of
Thirty-first and Thirty-second and
Alberta streets, protesting against a
wood yard being located there, was
heard and it wa: decided that the
council would view t'.e premises to
see what should be done. Application
for a permit for the concern to occupy
a new location in Alberta was denied.
Mayor Baker announced a commit
tee of business men to inquire into the
situation cgarding signs in the city
and to maVe a report. He named

Resolutions calling for the taking

main artery through the south east
side district and what at present is
unpaved between Kast Fi ty-second
and East Eighty-second streets, were
adopted. Proceedings for laying a
pavement will go through in due time.
It is now a county thoroughfare and
there is a strong demand on the part
of a large number of citizens in the
districts affected that the work shall
be done at the earliest possible time.
It is unlikely that it can be done this
season, however.

He was first sentenced to two years

he was ordered returned to the state
prison as a parole violator for a simi

to Deputy District Attorney Dempsey,
who filed the complaint against him.

MINIMUM SCALE RAISED
Wage of Unskilled Labor Increased
Fifty Cents Per Day.
XORTH BEXD, Or., March 24.
(Special.) The minimum scale, for
common labor in the various sawmills
of Coos Bay has been increased from
$4.80 per day to o.30 per day, as the
result of a . conference between five
employers and five representatives of
the Loyal Legion of Loggers and
Lumbermen.
The new scale will become effective
in the local mills April 1. The agree
ment is the outcome of recent de
mands presented by the employes of
the Buehner Lumber company for a
wage scale similar to that in effect
in the lumber districts of Wash
ington. The appointment of a joint commit
tee to act as an adjustment board in
the settlement of wages problem is a
new plan adopted by the. Loyal Legion
locals here and so satisfactory was
the understanding reached in the
present controversy that regular
monthly meetings will be held by the
committee to consider problems as
they arise.

Jacques Thibaud, a French violinist,
appeared in concert at the University
of Oregon last night.
The concert was delayed 20 minutes
because Thibaud had no dress shirt
and was compelled to borrow one
from his manager. Mr. Toung waited
in the hotel lobby for 10 minutes after
the time for the concert to start. Go

violinist searching for his shirt. It
could not be found anywhere. Mr.
Young took off his own shirt, gave it
