Disputes Settled at Confer

RIGHT TO ORGANIZE ; KEPT
Approval of Eight-Hour Day
and Seniority Rule Involved
in 16 Principles Adopted.-
- CHICAGO, April H.(By the As
sociated Press.) National agree
ments defining- working- conditions
for employes on all American rail
roads formerly under the federal
railroad administration today were
ordered abrogated, effective July 1,
by the railroad labor board.
Officers and system organizations
of employes of each railroad are
called to select representatives "to
confer and to decide as much of the
rules controversy as possible at the
earliest possible date," the decision
said.
While the decision did not speci-
f cally say so, members of the board
aid that all disputes as to rules and
working: conditions automatically
were referred back to "individual
conferences between each individual
road and Its employes." This method
cf procedure had been sought by the
railroads, whereas the labor side
had favored a national conference
e e t w e e n representatives1 of "all"
roads and "all" unions.
Rules Hearing to Continue.
The decision affected all railroad
employes except those in train serv
ice who are under separate agree
ments between the railroads and the
tour big brotherhoods.
In connection with the conference
negotiations, the board laid down a
set of IS principles which are to
serve as a foundation for any rules
which may be agreed to. The pres
ent general rules hearing before the
labor board in Pittsburg since Janu
ary 10. will continue until both sides
have completed their testimony, fol
lowing which the board "will pro
mulgate such rules as it determines
just and reasonable as soon after
July 1 as is reasonably possible and
will make them effective as of
July 1."
The 16 principles outlined by the
board were draws up by Henry T.
Hunt of the public group and upheld
the right of the employes to organize
for lawful purposes, the right of em
ployes to negotiate through their
cwn representatives, the right of
seniority and the principle of the
eight-hour day. It was specified
that "eight hours' work must be
given for eight hours' pay."
Espionage should not be practiced
by either side, the decision said, and
employes' representatives should
have the right to make an agreement
applying to all employes in the craft
or class of the representatives.
f Principles Arc Outlined.
The 16 principles outlined were
follows:
"An obligation rests upon man-,
agement. upon each organization of
employes and upon each employe to
render honest, efficient and economi
cal service to the carrier.
; "The spirit of co-operation be
tween the mat-agement and em
ployes being essential to efficient
operation, both parties will so con
duct themselves as to promote this
ipiriL
"Management having the respon
sibility for safe, efficient and eco
nomical operation, the rules will not
be subversive of necessary discipline.
Right to Organize Upheld.
The right of employes to organ
ize for lawful objects shall not be
oenied, interfered with or obstructed. J
"The right of such lawful organ!
ration to act toward lawful objects
through representatives of its own
choice, whether employes of a par
ticular carrier or otherwise, shall be
greed to by management.
"No discrimination shall be prac
ticed by management as between
members and non-members of or
tanixaUonsv or as between members
of different organizations, nor shall
members of organizations discrimi
nate against non-members or use
other methods than lawful persua
sion to secure their membership.

Two Pedestrians Are Bowled Over
and Machine Belonging to
Friend Is Wrecked.
With moonshine as his only com
panion, J. F. Gregory, S92 Fourth
street, in a large touring car cut a
wide and wicked swath from Yamhill
to Alder on Third street last night.
Gregory, facing a probable charge
of driving while intoxicated, was
lodged in the city jail; George James,
141 Lownsdale avenue, was taken to
St. Vincent's hospital with his right
leg broken above the ankle; E. H.
Kennedy, '424 Columbia boulevard,
was suffering from numerous bruises,
and the touring car, property of Rich
ard H. Bowman, 423 East Sixth street,
is ready for the junk pile. -
Gregory, who is a truck driver, first
came to the notice of the police on
Third street when his devious path
paralleled that of the patrol wagon
on its way to an emergency call.
At Third and Tamhill the police
men in the patrol wagon found James
and Kennedy. They had been bowled
over by the big car.
W hile the two injured men were
being taken to the emergency hospi
tal in the patrol wagon the busy po
licemen came upon Gregory, sprawled
out in his automobile.
He had driven head on into a tele
phone pole between Alder and Morri
son on Third street. Gregory was
loaded into the wagon and the party
was complete.
The injured were treated at the city
emergency hospital, while Gregory,
who was of the "wild" type and had
on a "fighting jag," in the words of
police, was placed In the padded cell
to sober up. The police said that
he had been arrested for speeding
about three weeks ago, and Gregory
was said to have admitted the arrest.
Investigation of circumstances sur
rounding the accident showed that the
car, belonging to Bowman, had been
purchased for a son, Everett, who had
taken Gregory for rides in the ma
chine. To show his gratitude Gregory
was said to have filched the auto
mobile from its parking place on
Third street, between Jefferson street
and Columbia, and went for a
ride, according to Everett Bowman.
Ownership of the machine r-as not es
tablished until the latter called at
police headquarters to repor$K had
been stolen. The entire front por
tion, including the motor, was forced
back into the body, and it was said
to be ruined.
Before the two pedestrian had re
covered their feet they were In the
hands of five uniformed police, two
motorcycle patrolmen, three detec
tives, a doctor and a police reporter.
The same staff was on hand at the
second accident before Gregory real
ised that he had collided with an im
movable body, as the crash came a
few seconds after Gregory had driven
past the patrol wagon.

Woman Flees With Another and
Conference Breaks Cp.
GRAND ISLAND. Neb., April 14.
Two men of this city tonight were
en route, to Chicago in search of a
girl whom both claim as wife.
Roy Tales, veteran of the American
expeditionary forces, who last an arm
in battle, returned to Grand Island
today after his release from an east
ern rehabilitation hospital, only to
find that In the war he had also lost I
his wife. Erroneously advised of the
death of her husband, the bride of a
few months had recently remarried.
The second husband told Tates that
the veteran had first claim upon the
girl, and the three sat down to dis
cuss the complicated situation, with
Tates presiding.
The young wife excused herself and
left the house. Later a note was
found from her addressed jointly to
Tates and McCracken, the second
husband, saying she had decided to
cast her lot with another man.
With one bolt, snatched from the
United States supreme court,' City At
torney GranC-yesterday smashed the
morals squad machinery of the city
police which has been warring for
months, and at long odds, with vio
lators of the federal prohibition laws
by instructing them that no liquor or
drugs could be legally seized in any
man's domicile without authority in
the form of a legal search warrant.
As practically every important ar
rest has of necessity ben made
without the use of search warrants,
and as publicity inevitably follows
their issuance, police declared that
Portland will be wetter than ever
during the next few months and that
police will be rendered helpless to
catch the big men who are most dar
ing in their violations.
Policeman's Oath Seeded,
No man's home may be entered and
searched for liquor or for evidence
of other criminal classification un
!. thn Dolice are armed with a
specific search warrant, properly
issued. In order to obtain the war
rant, the policeman must swear that
he knows there are contraband goods
at that address. If the authority
issulne- the. warrant is not convinced
that the police "have the goods,"
there will be : no warrant and no
search.
There are several angles to the
search warrant calculated .to prevent
promiscuous use by policemen. The
most important is that the police
man must swear to the warrant In
his own name. If no liquor, or drug
(whichever is named in the. warrant)
is found, the owner of the premises
may bring suit against the policeman
In the civil courts. A warrant, issued
for liquor, would be of no value
should the raiders find drugs. To
make a legal seizure, it would be
come necessary for the policeman to
swear out a new warrant.
It is estlmataed that between CO and
90 per cent of the arrests made for
7 Men Found Guilty of Armistice

OLTMPIA, Wash., April 14. (Spe
cial.) Conviction and sentence of
seven L W. W. members, tried in
Montesano about a year ago 'for the
murder of four ex-service men by fir
lng upon the Armistice parado In Cen
tralia in 1919 was sustained in the
supreme court today in an opinion
written by Justice Mitchell, and af
firmed by the entire bench.
Judge Wilson of this city presided
over the trial in Montesano and sen
tenced the men to from 25 to 40 years

The prisoners are Britt Smith, O. C.
Eland, Ray Becker, James Mclhery,
Eugene Barnett, Bert Bland. Jonn
Lamb. Elmer Smith and Mike Snee
han were acquitted by the Montesano
jury. Loren Roberts was- found, crim
inally insane and committed to tne
penitentiary indefinitely, end Bert
Faulkner was discharged in the course
of the trial.
The ex-service men murdered In the
rlct and mentioned in the appeal are
Warren O. Grimm, Ben Cassagranda
and Arthur McEIfresh. Del Hubbard
died later of wounds. The opinion sus

points. No evidence is found showing
that Grimm was Involved In a con
spiracy against the I. W. W., as con
tended by the defense.

On Broadway from Yamhill to Oak

and on Sixth street from Washington
to Stark street there were six. for-
hire stands.
The hostility of the business men
and the public generally against the
monopoly of public streets gained by
the for-hire car owners has grown
from month to month.. -Investigation
showed that two for-hire car owners
had persistently refused to allow
patrons of one retail establishment
to park in front of the store except
when the drivers both were out' on
trips.
To prevent the parking of private
machines, these two for-hire men. ac
cording to complaints registered at
the police station and city hall, have
so placed their two machines as to
prevent any other from parking
there.
Whenever policemen or members of
the motor bus division ordered these
two drivers to use only the space
necessary for their own cars, within
a few moments the same cars would
be found "jockeyed" back again, to
shut out the private machines.
Prosecutions Are Pew.
Prosecutions against for-hire men
for moving private cars parked on j
the streets have been extremely rew.
Investigation into this situation
showed that the minimum penalty for
this offense is a 30-day jail sentence,
and police officials declared the pen
alty to be so drastic as to be worth
less. Men whose cars nave been
moved usually refuse to sign the
complaint when they learn or the
extreme penalty. It was considered
probable that the city council would
be asked to modify the penalty to
make it workable.
If the council revokes all for-hire
stand permits, which at this time
seems inevitable, a number of sug
gestions would be made to handle the
for-hire car business.

NEW YORK. April 14. (Special.)
The Stokes divorce case before Su
preme Court Justice Finch today cen
tered around George Austin Schroter,
mining engineer, traveler and mo.t
debonair of the Stokes co-respondents.
Deliberately, at times eardonically,
Schroter drawled denials of the story
of intimacy, related previously by the
millionaires army of eavesdropping
domestics. He did not kiss nor hug
Mrs. Stokes, although he readily ad
mitted calling her "Carrots" not a
term of endearment, he explained,
but a description of her profusion of
red hair.
Almost paternally Schroter de
scribed his acquaintance with Mrs.
Stokes. He was the second of the
co-respondents to deny Mr. Stokes
charges. Contrasted with Wallace,
the first, small, drab, bold, Schroter
is tall, lithesome, wcll-dre.scd, his
thatch of graying hair curled In
poetlo fashion. While Wallace seemed
surly and determined, Schroter ap
peared to enjoy his experience on the
stand.
Mrs. Matteo.lua Is III.
His appearance followed the an
nouncement that Mrs. Mabel Matteo
sian, third of tho witnesses to the
Wallace incident, was too 111 to testify,
Martin W. Littleton, Mrs. Stokes'
lawyer, has decided to put his cllcr.t
on the stand after all the adverse
testimony has been completed and the
various co-respondents have placed
denials upon the record a process
that probably will take most of next
week.
Cross-examination "of tho mining
engineer elicited from him many com
pliments to the beauty and charm of
Mrs. Stokes. He had first known her
In Denver, when she was, to use nis
cwn phrase, "in short skirts." He saw
her playing with other children on
the streets. He singled her out of
the crowd because of her red hair.
Mrs. Stoke. Bsntlca Often.
Mrs. Stokes, In characteristic pose

smiled frequently as the witness re
called her childhood. Bho chuckled
at his reference to her red hair of
yore, now straying rrom nt-r ."un
