fore Federal Commission.
WASHINGTON. April 0. Applica
tions of unauthorised strikers for
hearings on their demands for a "liv
ing ware" were denied today by the
railroad labor board after Chairman
Barton had ruled that any one might
file a complaint, but that it was for
the board to determine whether the
dispute was one which the law em
powered it to adjust.
In its reply to Kdwin McHugh of
Ke-w York, who filed a brief as a
citizen asking a hearing on the ground
of the "existing emergency" as well as
. formal complaint, the board said it
declined to authorize the application
to be filed and docketed as a case
because it did not comply with the
law and with order No. 1.
Chairman Barton announced that
the same ruling applied to the ap
plications of the St. Louis and Chicago
yardmen's associations or any other
body which had not compiled with
the rules adopted by the board. Or
der No. 1 provides that no complaint
will be entertained from any parties
who . are not using every effort to
avoid any interruption to the opera
tion of the railroads. .
LOS ANGEL.ES, Cal., April 20.
Fourteen of 29 men indicted by the
federal grand jury for alleged vio
lations of the Lever act in connection
with the "outlaw" switchmen's strike
in southern California were lodged in
the Los Angeles county jail tonight,
having failed to secure S5000 bail each
required by Judge B. F. Bledsoe of the
L'nlted States district court. Five of
the men furnished $5000 bail each and
one was released on hia own recogni
zance. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., April 20.
Announcement that a new strike of
railroad trainmen had been called In
Fresno and Dunsmuir today was fol
lowed by a statement by the insurgent
organization of yardmen here that all
points of importance from Pueblo
and Salt Lake westward were joining
the strike movement with greater
force.
JOLIET, 111., April 20. John Gru
riau. leader of the "insurgent" switch
men's strike, today predicted the
speedy settlement of the "rebel"
strike at the mass meeting called for
Chicago tomorrow.
NEW YORK, April 20. New York
was slowly untangling itself today
from the snarl of congested railway
traffic resulting from the unauthor
ized rail strikes. Notwithstanding
optimistic claims of the railroad man
agers, both passenger and freight
service on several lines was reported
to be crippled. Volunteers were used
by some roads to run passenger
trains. !
Partial resumption of traffic in the I
tubes under the Hudson river today
brought relief to thousands of com
muters who had been forced to rely
upon ferry transportation for more
than a week.
SAN FRA.NC1SCO. April 20. In the
face of reports by the railroads of a
continual clearing of the strike situ
ation here, officials of the insurgent
yardmen's association reported today
that the men who quit work still are
out nearly 100 per cent.
Fresh outbreaks were reported by
the Southern Pacific company today
at Dunsmuir and Fresno. At Duns
muir a number of brakemen were
eaid to have declined service. The sit
uation throughout the system other
wise was said to be "satisfactory."
The road men in Dunsmuir. Weed.
Klamath Falls and Gerber declined
today to clear trains from those
points until Ihe demands of the yard
men had been met, officials of the
strikers here announced.
STRIKE LOCALLY NEAR END
Southern Pacific and Oregon
Washington Lines Lift Embargoes.
The strike of switchmen In Port
land terminal yards of the transcon
tinental lines and Union station yards,
interrupting the movement of freight
traffic and compelling embargoes on
shipments, has about run its course
and, according to railroad officials,
the end is almost reached. Lifting
of embargoes by the Southern Pa
cific and Oregon-Washington lines on
shipments to and through Portland
was the development of yesterday
that indicates the improved condition
of the lines. The Oregon-Washington
removed embargoes on all freight
to and through Portland and also
raised the ban on all freight to and
through Montpelier and Pocatello to
Ogden and east. The embargo etlll
stands as to Salt Lake City. The
Southern Facific modified its em
bargo to permit acceptance of all
freight for delivery to the company
at East Portland for points as far
south as Saugus, Cal., including Santa
Barbara, and all points north except
San Francisco.
The Albina yard report showed one
additional crew put on yesterday for
the day ehift, making a total of 10
crews working at that terminal. The
Northern Pacific terminal company
added one- crew at the Union station
yards, making a total of eight, and
the Spokane, Portland & Seattle had
five trews working day shifts in
their yards. The Southern Pacific
had 10 engines working yesterday,
the same number as the preceding
day and as many as can be used until
the free interchange of traffic in the
Portland yards is established. The
weak link in the chain Is the North
ern Pacific terminal yards, with four
switch engines working, and the cure
of this and of the situation in the
other terminals is now regarded as
a matter of only two or three days.
The lack of more engines wording in
the yards of the terminal company
Interferes with transfer between the
road, as the power is kept busy
handling passenger equipment.
The total number of switchmen em
ployed up to last night was 105,
as against 340 when the walkout
took place. But there are a num
ber of crews that have been employed
and that can be put on by the va
rious companies as needed. Crews
made up of yard foremen and other
regular men in other I'nes have been
handling the yard at The Dalles, but
it is understood, that the company will
add crews there today. Because of
the fact that the switchmen in that
yard were local men having homes
there, the officials have given the
old men abundant opportunity to re
turn to the jobs. Now that embargoes
re being lifted it is important that
"SHOE" ADMITS THEFT
NOTE DECLARES WRITER WILL
JUMP INTO SLOUGH.
R. I). Pierce, Laundry Driver, Says
Insurance Policy Will Cover
Defalcation of $260.
"I am very sorry to do this, but as
I said before. I simply am too much
of a coward to face the disgrace and
live," wrote R. D. Pierce, driver for
the Palace laundry, as he confessed
the embezzlement of J260 in a note
written to the laundry manager, stat
ing his Intention of jumping into
"one of the numerous sloughs along
the Columbia river."
Pierce disappeared between 2 and 3
o'clock in the morning after seclud
ing himself in his room at 7 East
Twelfth street all Sunday evening,
and the note was received by the
laundry Monday. -Only yesterday the
search for the missing man began in
earnest, when the affair was reported
to Sheriff Hurlburt and a warrant
issued.
Deputy Sheriff Christofferson could
find no one yesterday who had seen
the man since Sunday. Ha did not
show up for work Monday morning
and the note arrived shortly after.
Search of the sloughs will not begin
until the possibility of the man's run
ning away has been investigated.
Though he would not disclose the
name of his sister, he said In his note
to the laundry that 6he had been in
structed to repay the missing money
from his insurance, which was. made
out in her name. He inclosed checks
to the total value of 111.60. cutting
down the embezzled sum. Reference
to domestic trouble in his note is sup
posed to mean separation from his
wife, from whom he is hot believed
to be divorced.
Pierce had lived at 7 East Twelfth
street for about three weeks, prior to
which time he had resided at 29 East
Twelfth street. When he left the
rooming-house early Sunday morning
he wore a soldier's blouse and flannel
shirt of olive drab. H ewas 25 years
old, about 5 feet 5 inches high, had
blue eyes and dark brown hair. The
left thumb was amputated between
the first and second joints, accord
ing to his army record.
TAX REFUND IMPOSSIBLE
Claim of Newport Denied by Assist
ant Attorney-General.
SALEM, Or., April 20. (Special.)
The city of Newport cannot demand
proceeds of road taxes levied by Lin
coln county on the basis of the assess
able property there in the year 1919,
according to a legal opinion given by
I. H. Van Winkle, assistant attorney
general. The opinion was asked by C. B.
McClusky, district attorney of Lin
coln county, who, in a letter to the
attorney-general, said Newport had
been made a separate road district,
and by such action had been removed
from the authority and power of the
county court.
The attorney-general held that the
county court had a legal right to levy
the tax, and there was nothing in the
law that would give Newport a right
to demand return of the money de
rived from such assessment.

Fitting the
"Hard-to-Fit"
Some men seem to take secret pride in
believing they are "hard to fit," and
many needlessly use this as an excuse
for going to the custom tailors.
We take pride in fitting just such
men men who, because they are not
of the average build, are more particu
lar and demand a perfect fit.
There's no secret about our ability to
please these "hard-to-fits," for Hart
Schaffner & Marx clothes are built for
every type.
Step in any day try on one of the
pleasing new Spring styles and learn
that you, too, can have custom-fit
clothes, which are more economical and
just as satisfactory.

Hair Often Ruined
by Careless Washing
Soap should be used very carefully
if you want to keep. your hair looking
Its best. Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much alkali.
This dries the scalp, makes the hair
brittle and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is
Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo (which
is pure and greaseless) and la better
than anything else you can use.
One or two tcaspoonfuls will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly, sim
ply moisten the hair with water and
rub it in. It makes an abundance
of rich, creamy lather, , which rinses
out easily, removing every particle
of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive
otl. The hair dries quickly and evenly
and it leaves the scalp soft and the
hair fine and silky, bright, lustrous,
fluffy and easy to manage.
You can get Mulsified cocoanut oil
shampoo at any pharmacy. It's very
cheap and a few ounces will supply
every member of the family for
months. Adv.
