LABOR BOARD FAILS

UNION CHIEFS TO LEAVE

on its ability to settle this matter,
he said. "So we are fighting for
our lives and the future of railroad
labor depends on our ability to pro
tect our employes."
The 11 so-called "standard" unions
marked time during the day. While
. few of their general chairmen met
to discuss strike plana, the majority
crowded the hearing rooms of the
labor board to hear the case of the
Pennsylvania railroad, cited for fail
ure to obey the board's order.
J. M. McGrath, vice-president of
the railway employes department,
Ame'rlcan federation of Labor (the
Clx federated shop crafts), declared
that a strike seemed to him to be
certain. The shop crafts have voted
to strike, but have not issued strike
orders. Twenty-two railroads have
Tiolated labor board decisions, Mc
Grath said, and the men are insistent
On walking out.
N. I. Uood, chairman of system fed
eration No. 90, the shop crafts union
on the Pennsylvania lines, announced
he had ordered a new strike vote
taken among all shop employes on the
Pennsylvania lines, both union and
jaon-union, and that the shopmen
-would not strike until the result of
this ballot Is known.
Proposal Held Not Tangible.
' Union leaders said the board had
not presented anytning- which they
looked on as In any way a. -tangible
proposition.
. "It's somebody's move next," said
the head of one of the .larger of the
five organizations. "Whether it's
ours, the board's or the roads', I don't
know. I only know that the board
brought us here and talked for hours
without presenting anything we could
even consider as a compromise. The
meeting was absolutely without re
sults. We are going back to our
headquarters. There is nothing sched
uled immediately except to go right
head with the plans for a strike."
More Meetings Possible.
h Members of the board eald that
while the conference had ended and
ao Immediate plans had been made.
It still was possible to hold further
meetings with the labor men before
time for the scheduled walkout.
T "The board Is determined to go as
far as possible under the law." one
jndmher said, "and if It is unable to
accomplish anything, it will be the
fault of the law, rather than that of
4he 'board. We are satisfied some
frovernmental agency will find a so
Lit Ion, as every possible angle of the
matter la undoubtedly being Investi
gated at Washington."
None of the board members would
'indicate an optimistic view of the
day's proceedings. Some members
were inclined to the view that even
Issuance of a strike order was tanta
mount to a violation of a board deci
sion and that the brotherhoods could
properly be cited to appear before
-the board for n formal determination
as to whether Its orders had been de
ified. t Ronrd Better Informed.
' "The board feels It Is much better
Informed on the situation and we
.hope some way may yet result from
.the board's inquiry." said one mem
ber. Board members said that the labor
chiefs remained Inflexible in main
taining that the fight was one for
the life of their organizations. Dif
ficulties In the crisis were declared
by the union men. It was said, to be
the fault of the carriers, the brother
hood men holding that many rail
roads had violated the board's orders.
They made it clear, however, mem
ners said, that they did not consider
these violations the fault of the
board but due to the fact that the
transportation act "had no teeth."
1 . Powers Not Exhausted.
i Continual alleged violations of the
board's orders had convinced the em
ployes, they were quoted as saying,
that therevwould be no end to en
croachments on what the railroad
Workers considered their rights.
Prior statements of the brotherhood
leaders have repeatedly asserted that
the question of working rules, which
they said they had been years in
working up, was the crux of the sit
uation. Practically nothing was
said In the conference about the 13
per cent wage reduction, which was
the- technical, basis on which the
Strike was called, it was learned.
Members of the board said they did
not consider that the board had
exhausted Its powers and that an
executive session would be held to
morrow when further procedure
would be determined.
'. Hub Shifts to Cleveland.
W. S. Stone, president of the en
frlneers; W. J. Lee, president of the
trainmen; W. Sf. Carter, president of
.the firemen, returned to Cleveland to
night. L. E. Sheppard, head of the
conductors, left for Cedar Rapids.
Iowa, while T. C. Cashen departed for
Huffalo. headquarters of the switch
men's union.
i The executive committees of the en
gineers, firemen and of the conductors
went Into session. The committees of
Ithe other organizations will meet In
Cleveland Monday.
While the scene of the strike activ
ities shifted back to Cleveland with
the ending of tonight's conference, a
union man close to the brotherhood
chiefs said he expected the next step
!to he taken from Washington.
v "The labor board has, of course,
forwarded a full report of the con
ference to Washington," he said. "If
there are further steps toward con
ciliation they will be taken there. The
Unions will do nothing further."
I'nlnuH Declared sincere.
g Vnlon heads expressed opinion that
"if there were any concrete results
'of the conference they lay In the fact
that the- minds of the labor board
..members were disabused of the idea
that the unions were not sincere in
calling a strike."
"When we went In there," said one
'Chief, "the board seemed to be of the
opinion that we had been bluffing
and were Just waiting for some one
to dissuade us from carrying out the
strike order.
... "Believing this, the board had vir
tually nothing to offer In the way of
.a settlement plan. Its members
, talked a lot, but actually had little
. to say of any Importance, merely
trying to get us to change our plana,
i Settlement Is Hoped.
"They seemed to think we could
stop the strike until we made it
. plain, that it could not even bo con
sidered and there must te a settle
ment satisfactory to us or the walk
out will begin at 6 A. M. October 30.
"We hope some ens will appear
with a plan to avert the strike, but
there were no such angles at to-day's
meetings.
"The chief result of the conference
was that the labor board knows we
are not bluffing and we know that
they had no real plan to offer."
The only signed statement from a
union head was from Mr. Stone. It
simply said:
Situation Is Unchanged.
-"The situation Is unchanged and I
suppose I might add that I don't ex
pect one angle of it to be changed
even In heaven, for If I get there I
expect to still have a hundred news
paper reporters chasing me around for
signed statements."
' The 11 "standard" unions which
have voted for a strike but have not
called one, marked time today, taking
no action pending the outcome of the
labor board conference.
The maintenance-of-way chairmen
held several Informal sessions, the
only Inkling of their attitude being
a remark by a high official that "this
organization is going to let the other
fellow start the ball rolling before
doing any pushing."
They will meet again tomorrow as
will the shop crafts and other organ
izations, but there is little likelihood
of a decision before Saturday or Sun
day, It was said. '

Grays Harbor Mills Ship Most of
Lumber by Cargo.
ABERDEEN, Wash., Oct. 20. (Spe
cial.) A general tleup of railroad
lines, particularly If of short dura
tion, will affect Grays Harbor to a
minimum extent In view of present
conditions In the lumber industry,
Aberdeen millmen predicted yester-.
day.
Their predictions are based on the
facts that only 20 per cent of the
lumber leaving Aberdeen and Ho-
qulam mills at present Is transported
by rail, due to the high freight rates.
and an unprecedented number of ves
sels engaged in off-shore trade are
booked for this harbor. However,
they point out that if the strike lasts
for any length of time the California
trade, which forms the backbone of
the harbor Industry, probably would
be suspended by gorging of the docks.

PREPARATIONS FOR WALKOUT.
Railway Presidents Believe That
Impasse Has Been Reached
With Union Leaders.
CHICAGO. Oct. 20. Failure of the
railroad labor board, to settle the
strike question through its confer
ences wth union leaders today means
that the railroads in this section will
redouble preparations for a strike,
presidents of several railroads said
tonight when Informed that the con
ference had adjourned "with no defi
nite results."
"It looks like an Impasse had been
reached." said W. H. Finley, president
Lof the Chicago & Northwestern. "The
matter will be taken up tuny tomor
row at a meeting of western railroad
executives and undoubtedly prepara
tions to combat a strike will be
pushed." '
Samuel Felton, prestden of the Chi
cago Great -Western, said: "Things
look bad."
A majority of other presidents re
marked that "they had hoped for a
settlement but that the situation cer
tainly was not improved any."

RAIL LABOR TO LAY
PLANS HERET01HT
ReDresentatives From This
Section to Attend.
MEETING IS JOINT ONE
First Organized Move on Part of
Employes to Be Made; In
structions Ready.
The first organized move on the
part of local .railway employes to get
In readiness for the strike, will begin
tonight. From Chicago has come a
request from the representatives of
all rail brotherhoods in mis kcuou
for a Joint meeting to be held In Port
land immediately oa their return so
that proper strike Instructions may
be given union men. ,
The Joint meeting will be held to
night at 129 Fourth street. Those
who will attend the meeting are
members of. the Brotherhood of Lo
comotive Firemen and Enginemen,
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi
neers, Brotherhood of Railway Train
men and the Order of Railway Con
ductors. Arrangements for the meet
ing were made by telegraph.
The purpose of the meeting Is to
enlighten and Instruct all who are
called out on strike as to their duties
when the strike becomes effective.
No Recourse bat Strike Held.
The Instructions to all flie union
men .as sent out from headquarters
have been received by the local sec
retaries. They are the same as those
already announced in Chicago.
One peculiar feature of the pro
posed strike is the different angles
from which different unions are ap
proaching the strike stage. The
Brotherhood of Railway -Trainmen
voted for a strike to become effective
whenever any other large body would
join the switchmen, enginemen and
conductors and these were .the in
structions to the head of the union
as included In the strike -vote. The
head has no other recourse thanvto
call a etrlke, It was explained.
All of the other brotherhoods, it Is
understood, voted to leave the strike
responsibility and determination up
to the heads of those unions. These
heads still have the right to treat
and call off the strike whenever they
believe the needs of the rail employes
have been met. If the strike order
does prevail and the strike fails, the
heads will get the blame.
Hope for Peace Expressed.
The public expression of practical
ly all the heads of local unions and
the local rail officials is the hope that
there will be no strike. The union
men are hoping that the government
will present some solution of the dif
ficulties and be able to ward off what
all call a calamity. . -
However, the union men said that
the railroads will not be able to do
all their representatives say they ican
should the strike become effective.
They admit that some trains can be
run but they sav there are no such
number of unemployed as stated who
could handle railroad Jobs made va
cant by strike and also that there are
few men in the offices who have had
enough operating experience to take
positions in that end of the .railroad
service.
NR. SPRDULE GIVQ VIEW
PROPOSED STRIKE HELD TO BE
AGAINST LABOR BOARD ORDER
President of Southern Pacific Com
pany Issues Statement to Heads
of Departments.
The proposed rail strike is against
the order of the United States rail
road labor board, according to Will
lam Sproule, president of the South
ern Pacific company, in a formal
statement issued yesterday to the
heads of the departments of the road
The text of the statement follows:
"To dispel misconstruction and mis
understanding it is all-important that
the public anf the employes should
know at the outset and bear In mind
continually Just what It is that this
proposed strike of railroad employes
is directed against. They are not
striking because of any refusal of the
railroads to reduce rates. They are
not striking because of any Intention
expressed .by the railroads to avail
themselves of the right conferred by
the transportation act of 1920 to ap
peal to the railroad labor board for
a further reduction In wages. The
strike vote was taken some time be
fore the meetlnsof the railroad ex
ecutives at Chicago and before their
attitude in respect to rates or further
reduction of wages was known.
"The strike Is against the order of
the railroad labor board rendered
June 1. 1921, after a full hearing of
both sides, declaring that there
should be a 12 H per cent reduction
of wages. There can be no question
as to the correctness of this state
ment. The morning papers of October
17 printed a telegram from Cleveland
which said what the correspondent
obtained from the brotherhoods' rep
resentative as to the cause of the
strike in the following language:
"'The strike Is against the 12 M Pr
cent wage cut ordered by the rail
road labor board. It cannot take Into
consideration the new wage cut.
which the railroad executives made
known tbelr Intention of asking be
cause that cut has not gone before
the labor board and therefore can
not be officially known to the broth
erhoods.' "The New York Times quoted from
a communication of the brotherhood
leaders to their local chairmen as
follows: '
" 'Sirs and brothers The vote of
the members was overwhelmingly in
favor of a strike on the question of
wage reductions by the United States
railroad, labor board effective July 1,
1921.'
"It follows from the above that the
strike is directed against the pro
visions of the act of congress. It is a
protest against the conclusions of the
railroad labor board, and it is not
due to any action of the railroad ex
ecutives, for certainly no one can
impose responsibility upon the rail
road executives for making an appli
cation for reduction in wages which
was sustained by the railroad labor
board.
BOY SUYER ASKS dDTH
RAT PARSE, 17, 'WRITES GOV
ERNOR ABOUT KILLING.
Lad Accused of Murdering Sweet
heart Pleads to Be Sent to
Electric Chair.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Oct. "20.
(Special.) "I deserve death." Kay
Parse. 17. of Terre Haute, charged
with the murder of his 17-year-old
sweetheart, Louise Willoughby, de
clared today in a letter to Governor
McCrae, in which he pleaded with the
governor to have him sent to the elec
tric chair.
Parse has been In Jail In Terre
Haute since September 13. when the
girl's body, with two bullet wounds,
was found lying on a bed in the boy's
home.
The letter, which Is one of the
strangest ever received at the gov
ernor's office, follows:
"You are the one to look after mur
der cases. I am in the county Jail for
first-degree murder in Terre Haute.
I have been waiting for the electric
chair over here, but it don't do no
good.
"If I wanted to live I would not ask
for the chair. But I don't want to
live any more, and I am asking you
to send me to the electric chair. Any
body, If for first-degree murder, will
get life or death, but I want death
and nothing else. I deserve death and
no life. See If you can give me the
electric chair Instead of life.
"I suppose you have heard of the
Ray Parse murder case in Terre
Haute. I am 17 years old. but that
don't matter any. Yours truly,
"RAY PARSE."
The boy for some time after his ar
rest stuck to a story that the girl had
killed herself.

Solicitor-General Says Country Is
Trying to Rehabilitate Lines.
WASHINGTON. D. C, Oct. 20.
Solicitor-General Beck. presenting
the argument before the supreme
court today In the New York rate
case, declared that the government,
having "wrecked the railroads to win
the war," was now attempting to re
habilitate the carriers under the
transportation or Esch-Cummins act

the railroads by government control
was exceeded in its effect only by the
government's merchant marine ven
ture, where, he said, "the result has
been a great deal worse."
The transportation act was de
scribed by Mr. Beck as "the greatest
piece of constructive legislation in
the history of the country." '

DANGER OF STRIKE
IS GOHS
DERE LESS
Several Cabinet Members Ex
press Optimism.
RATE CUT IS INDICATED
President Harding, Chairman of
Interstate Commerce Body and
Acting Attorney-General Meet.
WASHINGTON, D. C, Oct. 20. The
note of optimism of official discussion
of the threatened railroad strike was
more pronounced today. Several cab
inet members expressed confidence
that the "cooling-off period," which
has Intervened since the strike call
had served to lessen the danger of a
national tie-up.
Administration officials, when in
formed of the termination of the con
ference at Chicago between the rail
road labor board and the union chiefs
tonight, declined to comment, prefer
ring, it was explained, to await a full
repcrt of the proceedings.
One definite development, however,
was the announcement that prepara
tions had been completed for the co
ordination under the commerce de
partment of plans for the transporta
tion if essentials should the strike go
ir.to effect.
Rate Reduction Forecast.
After a conference between Presi
dent Harding, Chairman McChord of
the interstate commerce commission
and Acting Attorney-General Goff, the
impression was given that an order
could be expected soon from the com
mission putting Into effect a reduc
tion in freight rates.
Reports to the department of com
merce Indicated large industries gen
erally have been busy assembling re
serve stocks of fuel and raw mate
rial. These preparations would per
mit the department's relief work. It
was pointed out, to be centered In
behall of those industries unable to
take similar precaution and would
limit the danger of industrial shut
downs. .
Two Rate Cases Now Up.
Two cases before the Interstate
commerce commission. Involving peti
tions for rate reductions, are that of
western agricultural interests, who
have urged elimination of all war
time increases on grain, hf.y and feed,
and that of dealers in hardware and
forest products operating through ter
ritory east of Arkansas, for material
decreases in rates on lumber.
Developments today strengthened
the Impression that the administra
tion would not move in the strike
situation until the railroad labor
board had been given proper opportu
nity to function. It was reiterated
that the administration was behind
the board and would lend full support
to Its programme now in progress of
formation.
SCHOOL DANCES DEBATED
Walla Walla Mayor Tells Parents
About Juvenile Delinquency.
WALLA WALLA, Wash.. Oct. 20.
(Special.) Juvenile conditions ' in
Walla Walla are bad and additional
officers are needed to handle the
cases. Mayor Hill told the High
School Parent-Teacher association
here today. A man is needed to look
after the boys, holding a position
similar to that of the police matron,
he said. The county probation of
ficer is unable to attend to all the
city, cases, he stated.
As a result of the talk a committee
was appointed to meet with the
county commissioners to ask the ap
pointment of a man detailed to city
work, paying' particular attention to
dances.
On the committee are Mrs. William
McLean, Mrs. J. G. Kelly and .Mrs.
William Clark.
The question of high school dances
brought out warm discussion. A sug
gestion of eliminating dances -for
freshmen and sophomores in high
school brought up the discussion, but
no decision was reported because of
lack of numbers present.
LUMBER RATE CUT PENDS
I'roposrrt Rail Reduction Affects
Bend on Eastern Schedule.
BEND. Or., Octr 20. (Special.)
Proposed reductions in freight rates
from Bend to Central Freight associa
tion and trunk line points, a mem
orandum of which has Just been re
ceived by the traffic department of
the Shevlin-Hixon company, will
lower the tariff applicable to lumber
from 1 to. 11 cents a hundred, accord
ing to the point to which shipment is
made.
The Immediate reaction In connec
tion with the possibility of a lower
rate is a slowing up in buying, com
mission men and retailers being
anxious to take advantage of the
saving in freight contracting. This,
however, is the menace of the railroad
strike which is inducing buyers to
place rush orders In the endeavor to
obtain delivery before the date set
for the walkout threatened by the
brotherhoods.
