- WASHINGTON. June 23. The rail
road labor board at Chicago has been
requested by President Wilson to ex
pedlte its waare decision.
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.
After the cabinet meeting Secre
tary Payne, who Is now head of th
railroad administration, stated in th
presence of Secretary Wilson that h
had made a report to the freHident on
the strike situation, but that no ac
lion was taken after Secretary Wilson
had stated that the situation was im
proving.

Hail road Ia bor Hoard Declared to
Do Doing Its Best.
CHICAGO, June 23. 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.
A mass meeting of "railway vaca
tionists" for Friday night was called
by John Grunau and Harold 13. Red
ding, leaders of two new railroad
unions. The "vacationists" have an
nounced that no wage decision will
be acceptable that does not restore
seniority rights. ,
Officers of the recognized railroad
brotherhoods also were planning to
meet here Friday.

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

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.
