the commission came down from

titude of the different interests
'among shippers and discuss with the
traffic and counsel of the railroads

Buchtel Urges Action.
Commissioner Fred A. Williams was
tn attendance on the hearing held at
Washington. D. G. at which the
testimony of the transportation com
- panies and of the shippers from all
ejections of the country were heard.
Chairman Buchtel said that it was the
consensus of opinion of the commis
vion that the application must be ap
proved or rejected, as it would be an
interminable case to undertake hear
ings to determine what each rate
should be under the various classifi
cations.
But with the understanding that
the carriers would be willing to ad
. just rates with the shippers thereaf
ter it would be possible to remove
.any inequalities that may be found to
exist as a result of approving the
applications for the increases that
hae been adjudged necessary by the
Interstate commerce commission.

Not enough members Of the board
of trustees of the Multnomah Ama
teur Athletic club showed . up last
night at the regular Monday night
meeting to make a quorum, so there
was not really any meeting at all,
Last night's meeting was to have
been held primarily to settle the ques-
that the city had used discrimination
and undue severity in the Inspection
of the building during its erection. L.
H. Hoffman, superintendent of con
struction, who was on the witness
stand for the city in the hearing last
night, denied that there had been any
severity, and said that Hans Pederson,
the contractor, had been favored as
much as possible.
Hoffman declared that in one in
stance a large stone in a conspicuous
place over one of the doorways had
been condemned because . of obvious
flaws and that in other parts of the
building he had passed on stones
which were imperfect and allowed
them to be used in the construction
rather than reject the stone3 alto

Because of the failure of a quorum
no formal discussion or action could
take place last night and an attempt
to get the trustees together will . be
set for Wednesday night.
It is rumored that a number of
prominent members of the Multno

in the athletic department and are de
manding that O'Connell be retained
as instructor. At the present time
the former club instructor is in Los
Angeles, where he went to spend the

Mr. Gilham, who was In fortlana
yesterday for a brief visit, says that
niany farmers who joined the non
partisan league a few months ago are
now beginning to realize that they
were duped by oily-tongued orators
who held out promises which cannot
be fulfilled and hundreds of farmers
who took out memberships in the
non-partisan league have assured him
they are through with it and can be
relied on to vote the republican ticket
this fall. '
. "I have also found that democrats
also are turning toward the repub
lican party this year," he said. "In
our state defections from the demo
cratic to the republican party are
greater than ever before. They are
still democrats;- as the party was years
ago, but they have grown weary of
Wilsonian democracy."-
Mr. Gilham this week -will hold
meetings through southwestern Wasfi

meetings in every county seat in the

work a year ago and these meetings

MILWAUKEE, Wis.. Aug. 16. State
merchants were told to prepare for
general decline in prices today by
Paul Findlay of Los Angeles, who
spoke at the convention of the Wis
cpnsin Association of Retailers. He
declared merchandise was already
heading downward.- He said retailers
are first to suffer from a spirit of
conservatism, which is prompting con
sumers to buy more cautiously.
Retailers are beginning to notice a
falling off in buying, he said. "Up to
the present good jobs with high
wages were easy to get, and as a
result the housewife went right ahead
with her buying.
"Now good jobs can't be procured
as readily and the consumer pulls
on his purse-strings against the gro
cer and small retailer first. Buyers
are not paying the grocer as much
profit as they did."
