STRIKERS
NOT F ED
JO RETURN OR QUIT
Railroads Post Warning in
Portland Yards.
RATING TO BE FORFEITED
Shortage of Certain Classes of
Merchandise Reported Begin
ning to Be Felt. .
Effective tomorrow morning- at 8
o'clock, all striking- switchmen em
ployed In any of the Portland terminal
yards and who joined the walkout of
April 9 will have lost their ratine as
employes and all privileges and per
quisites that attach to continuous
service. If they wish to return to
work after that date, they must do so
as new employes. Ultimatums to that
effeut were issued last niifht by the
Oregon-Washington Railroad & Navi
gation company through .1. 1. O'Brion,
general manager, and by the Northern
i'aclfic Terminal company over the
signature of Edward Lyons, manager.
Notice Addressed to Yardmen.
The notice of the Oregon-Washington
management was addressed "To
all yardmen concerned." and reads as
' follows:
"Some of the yardmen in various
railroad yards of this company, with
out any notice whatever, have sus
pended work since April 8, 1920. Part
of them have returned to work. The
remainder have had sufficient time to
determine whether they will return.
Therefore, the underlined hereby
gives notice to all such yardmen that
unless they report for duty on or be
fore 8 A. M., April 17, 1920, they will
be considered as having: terminated
their employment with the company,
thereby forfeiting all pension. Insur
ance and seniority rights."
The notice served upon the switch
men employed by the Northern Pa
cific Terminal company was the same
as to the time limit for resuming;
work. The reference in the notice
quoted above is to the pension sys
tem for employes of the company.
On the Union Pacific employes are
covered by protection of insurance
equivalent to the salary for one year,
paid in monthly Installments to the
beneficiaries In case of death' of em
ploye. These will be sacrificed by
switchmen who walked out and do
not return in response to this notice.
The local strike situation was prac
tically unchanged yesterday from the
conditions prevailing- on- Wednesday.
Jt was frankly admitted that in some
of the yards the force was insuffi
cient, despite the limited freight traf
fic arriving or to be forwarded. A
certain amount of yard worn is nec
essary in handling the equipment for
passenger trains and fuel movement
for locomotives, and 20 crews were
or. day shift yesterday for the various
companies.
Merchandise falling Short.
There is beginning to be felt a
shortage of merchandise In some lo
calities due to the strike, especially
In some classes of foodstuffs that are
usually received In frequent ship
ments from warehouse stocks at Port
land and other distributing centers.
Considerable hay and other feed for
livestock are needed in the sections of
Idaho and Montana where the drouth
was severe last year, and stockmen
are becoming very anxious over the
failure of the railroads to make de
livery of roughage.
Railroad officials expressed the
hope that they could make such in
crease in the number of crews within
the next three days as to have busi
ness moving again on a fairly sat's
factory basis.
RAILROAD OFFICIALS, BACKED BY GOVERNMENT. WARN
STRIKING WORKERS.
(By the Associated Press.)
Railroad officials have thrown down the gauntlet to t"aiir strik
ing; employes. ,
Supported y the federal government's contention that the strike,
which for the past week has partly demoralized the freirtt and pas--Bensrer
service of the country, was planned by radical art ors with
ulterior motives, six railroads In Columbus, O., have refuse,! outright
to deal with the yardmen's association, which is conducting the
strike In their territory.
In New York railroad executives warned the representatives of .
the railroad brotherhoods that they would be given tfr,til noon
Saturday to get their men back to work. If the strikers are not
back by that time, the railway managers announced they would
open their books for a period of 24 hours to register men "accept
able" for re-employment, reserving the right to refuse to reinstate
those who by their actions and utterances have shown "unfitness
for further servifle."
In Chicago( 25 leaders of the insurgent switchmen, including
John Grunau, whose dismissal started the flood of railroad men's
walkouts, were under arrest last night on charges of having vio
lated th Lever food act. "Two hundred additional warrants were
expected. Federal prosecutors In other sections continued to accu
mulate evidence against strike leaders, and more arrests are
expected within the next 24 hours.
Meanwhile, members of the newly-created labor board, whose
nominations were confirmed yesterday by the senate, have been
summoned by President Wilson to meet in Washington today and
organize.
Small defections In the strikers' ranks continued yesterday, with
the main body of strikers In territory east of Chicago and north of
Pittsburg holding firm. Railroads entering New York were fast
resuming normal passenger service, but freight service in the east,
while showing signs of improvement, was etlll disorganized.
Freight embargoes are beginning to have a serious effect upon
industry, especially in. the east, where shortage of coal and raw
material resulted in the shutdowa of factories and mills, throwing
thousands out of work. The food situation continues serious, but
nowhere are there reports of famine conditions.
MilitaTy train crews have been pressed into service to move
government supplies stalled, in northern New Jersey terminals and
sidings. Bodies of soldier dead, arriving from abroad, also will be
moved in trains manned by soldiers.'

Report Summarizes . Sitnation . of
t Pacific Railroads.
SAN FRANCISCO, April .13.
'Freight is moving," was railroad of
ficials' summary tonight of strike
conditions on the Pacific coast. The
situation was described asimproving
but it was admitted that few of the
striking switchmen had returned to
work. Wherever freight traffic was
not at a standstill, men employed
since the walkout or volunteers from
other departments were doing the
necessary making up .of trains.
Nineteen switchmen from New
York were put' to work In the San
Francisco yards .of the Southern Pa
cific railway today, J. H. Dyer, gen
eral manager, announced And 73 new
men were said -to be wrkg In the
company s Oakland yards.
ROPE OF ENDING STRIKE GONE
Railway Officials Refuse to Deal
With Yardmen's Association.
COLUMBUS, O., April 15. All hope
of immediate ending of the railway
switchmen's strike here was banished
late today when .officials of the six
railways entering " Columbus refused
to deal with representatives of the
Columbus Yardmen's association, who
had drafted a settlement proposal.
Approximately 2000 strikers at
mass meeting tonight, voted to "re
main out until such time as railway
officials are ready to confer with us
relative to our demands."
Efficient Citizenship Theme of
Walter T. Sumner.
EUGENE. Or., April 15. (Special.)
"Efficient Citizenship" was the
theme of Bishop Walter T. Sumner's
address before the Eugene chamber
of commerce at its weekly luncheon
today at noon. He departed from his
theme long enough to make a plea for
support of the millage tax for addi
tional revenue for higher educational
institutions. The percentage of Ore
gon s population attending institu
tions of higher learning, said the
bishop, is over twice the general av
erase of the country, and yet Oregon
is spending on its state schools far
less than the average for the nation.
The measure of efficiency in indus
try," said Bishop Sumner, "is quality
an quantity of output, and the
measure of efficiency in citizenship is
that which a man gives to the com
munity. I want to say that a man
who giv es nothing to the comu
nity is a mighty poor excuse for a
citizen."
Strike Spread Attempted.
BOSTON. April 13. An attempt to
extend the unauthorized strike of
railway workers to New England took
form today with the announcement of
mass meetings under the auspices of
the American Federation of Railroad
workers in various places in this sec
tion Sunday afternoon. Brotherhood
loaders said they had information
that leaders of the insurgent strike
bad arrived in New England.

RATE ADJUSTMENT
OPJ APPLES OPPOSED
Report Made on Oregon-
. Washington Hearing.
RISE HELD NEGLIGIBLE
Woodard, Clarke & Co..
Examiner Holds That Fruit Suc
cessfully Competes in East
With Eastern Products.
SEATTLE. Wash., April 15. (Spe
cial.) Richard T. Eddy, examiner
for the interstate commerce commis
sion, in his report holds against any
distance adjustment of freight rate
increases on apples shipped east from
the northwest, as requested by the
public service commissions of Wash
ington and Oregon in an action in
stituted on behalf of the apple in
dustry, when the 25 per cent increase
in freight rates generally was made
two years ago, according to tele
graphic advices received from Olym
pia today.
Examiner Eddy, who heard evidence
and argument at Portland last fall,
maintains In his findings that Wash
ington apples successfully compete
with eastern-grown fruit in New York
and other Atlantic markets, despite
the Increased freight charge from the
northwest, which will amount to 25
cents a hundred pounds, a total,
freight charge of 1.25 a box, or.lii
cents a box in New York, added to the
present selling price.
Rate Is Held Unequal.
The Washington commission's op
position to a blanket increase of 25
per cent ordered by the railroad ad
ministration in 1918 was founded on
the unequal application of the rate
on long hauls and short hauls to com
petitive points. The 25 per cent In
crease on the 18-cent rate from
Rochester, N. Y-, to New York city
amounted to slightly more than 2
cents, and from Winchester, Va., to
less than 6 cents per 100 pounds
while the same ratio Imposed 25 cents
more on northwestern apples shipped
to compete with the New York and
Virginia fruit, the northwest in
crease amounting to more thx-.i the
total Increased freight charge on New
York and Virginia-grown fruit.
By a trip east. Commissioners
Blaine and Cleland obtained a modi
fication of the apple rate in 1918,
which it war estimated, saved the
Yakima and Wenatchee growers
million dollars on that year's crop.
Klffht to Be Continued.
In continuation of this fight, the
public service commission will send
Assistant Attorney-General Burgun
der to Washington to oppose affir
mation by the Inter-state commerce
committee of the examiner's findings,
According to these findings, the
Northwest Fruit Exchange of Seattle
distributed 2748 cars of Washington
apples in eastern and southern mar
kets in 1919, despite extremely high
prices and energetic competition of
the growers In those states. The ex
aminer's report officially demon
strates that the Washington apple
crop is handled through Seattle.
The public service commission is
contending for a similar concession
on apples, because of the distance
from markets, as the 5-cent special
tariff Increase on lumber, 6 cents on
wheat and 7 on livestock, instead of
the straight 25 per cent on all com
modities regardless of competitive
conditions.
