The president's message resulted from the general unrest among rail read workers over the wage question unci the walkout of yardmen and other employes at Philadelphia. Eal timore and other cities. Its text was not made oublic. but unofficially it was described as beine of a "forceful character." Soon after the White House an nouncement of the president's action W. N. toak, vice-president of the brotherhood of railroad trainmen, is sued a warning that unless there was a. settlement of the year-old wagre controversy by the end of this week the situation probably would be much worse tnan at present. The rnilroad labor uoard. Mr. Doak said, "is wholly responsible for the present bad situation." He added that the chiefs of the railroad brother hoods desire the public to know "that this much-heralded and advocated method of adjusting questions of this character, according to present indi cations, is a rank and hopeless fail ure." . At the same time Secretary Wilson of the department of labor declared in a formal statement that while the labor board bad l.ad a big task to perform, it could render no better public service In the existing situa tion than by coming to a speedier de termination of the questions before it Dr. DoiU's statement said the rail road labor organizations had done everything reasonable to keep trans portation moving and that they were now considering means to assist in every manner in preventing workmen from leaving the services of the roads. but that they knew full well that the men must be given substantial pay increases before their efforts could be successful. Secretary Wilson in making public his statement denied that the railroad strike had been discussed at the meet ing of the cabinet with President Wil eon yesterday, or that action on the ptrike was delayed after lie had de clared that the situation was so 1m proved that steps by the governmen were unnecessary.

Everythin possible is being done to expedite th decision on wage demands of railroa employes, the railway labor board said today. The board late today ha not received President Wilson's mes sage requesting an immediate .dcci sion, but after reading press dis patches from Washington, G. W Hanger, public representative on th board and chairman of its publicity committee, announced that np state ment would be made, as it might be construed as an apology for delay and that the board had no apologies to make. Public hearings were completed only two weeks ago. Mr. Hanger pointed out, and the board was now devoting all its ime to consideration of the several hundred schedules which must be issued. The decision will be forthcoming, he said, "in a reasonable length of time," but he declined to define such a reasonable time. Members of the board previously had indicated tliat the docision might be ready within ten days or two weeks, certainly in less than a month. "We are working ceaselessly to ward a decision, and it is now in sight," said Judge Barton, chairman. of the board. The latest railway strike, which has largely beerf confined to the east, has spread to several middle western towns.

SEATTLE, Wash.. June 23 (Spe cial.) The Minnesota primaries are being closely watched by Washing ton republicans for a similar contest is anticipated in this state in the com ing gubernatorial contest in Septem ber. Party leaders feared the moral ef fect of a Non-partisan league victory in Minnesota upon voters in this state and reports that were brought back by republican organizers who at tended the national convention and inquired into Minnesota's conditions were not reassuring. In that the Non-partisan league and its affiliated organizations have planned to make a fight for control of the reoublican primaries in Wash ington, conditions here and in Minne- 'sota are. similar. However, there are several notable particulars in which Washington republicans believe they have a distinct advantage over party leaders in the mid-western state. G. O. I. Stronger In Wet. The non-partisan organization in Minnesota is much older, better or ganized and more generally supported than in Washington. Minnesota re publicans were not as well organized as the party in Washington, dui on the other hand the Minnesotans have the advantage of an elimination agreement which, while not wholly effective, was a big step in advance of anything thus far worked out for the republicans in Washington. In this state the same political ele ments that comprise-the non-partisan league, triple alliance, railway mens' welfare league, the "committee of 4S" and such other organizations as plan united Dolitical action, formerly affi liated under the direct legislation league. I The latter organization included both the farmers' grange and farm ers' union, the different labor groups and an independent association and it for several years made indorse ments and sent out circulars condemn ing political candidates. Most of the attention was given to the republican candidates and most of the activity was in republican primaries. ISO Clnba In State. In this state, republicans point out the fact that there now Is a com mittee man in every precinct in the state, that each county organization has been brought up to date and is actively working, and that whereas tnere were only two or three repub lican clubs in the state a year ago, now there are approximately 150 that hold frequent meetings for party work. ' Republican State Chairman Walker, who has been in charge of prepara tory work for the campaign, .has had a corps of organizers, in the field for several months, checking upon county and precinct organization and form ing new party clubs. This is a work never attempted before in Washing ton. Both independent and party work has been done to prevent the K. Auto Owners! May I make a despairing last appeal? We have shown over 40,000 Shriners the Columbia Highway. Approximately 35,000 yet remain to see this wonder drive. Will you report this morning at 9 o'clock and do your part? If you have already done it, do it again. If you cannot possibly report this morning, report Friday and Saturday. If there is a surplus of cars at any time, come again later in the day or the next day. Do Your Bit To Make Portland's Good Name Safer These Shriners are thanking Portland for what we have done. But we promised to show all the highway. They want to see that promise redeemed. Maybe, you have driven out once or twice, but like a good fellow now let's have your car again. It's not Powers asking now it's the city of Portland the city and the state we all love. Of course, you'll come. We want thousands of machines this morning; all day Friday and all day Saturday. You say youH come? Fine, old man! We knew you would. IRA F. POWERS, Auto Chairman. Report With Your Car at Sixth and Yamhill Non-partisan league and affiliated organizations from invading the re publican primaries next September. Republican leaders find a vast r.mount of encouragement In the Min nesota returns except when they consider the difficulties that lie ahead of them in any attempt to eliminate surplus candidates. If there was any assurance that those republican cari dldates who find- their" chances of nomination exceedingly slim would agree voluntarily to retire, republican leaders would figure that the non partisan league menace in Washing ton could be met successfully. And even as it is, republican leaders find a great deal in the Minnesota returns to feel encouraged about. Eugeno Wants legion Meet. EUGENE. Or.. June 23. (Special.) Lane county post of the American Legion has elected the following dele gates to the legion state convention at Astoria: J. M. Williams, M. B. Huntley, B. F. Dorris, C. F. Lock wood, E. G.

The railroads maintained that the freight situation was greatly im proved. George Koehl. strike leader, in a statement tonight, claimed that 8000 men had quit work in this district, of which 5000 were out in this city.
