EACH SIDE IS WARNED
Members Announce All Juris
diction in Crisis Has Been
Assumed by Them.
CHICAGO, Oct. 21 (By the
Associated Press.) The govern
ment today moved to prevent a
railroad strike and to enforce obedi
ence by the unions and roads of
decrees of the railroad labor board.
The board announced it had assumed
full jurisdiction in the rail crisis and
ordered the workers not to strike
pending a conference, of union heads
and rail chiatfs, which it called for
October 26.
A decision from this conference
will not be announced until after
October SO, the scheduled strike
date, board members said, declaring
' that in this way a walkout would
be averted unless the unions defied
the board's rders not to strike
pending a ruling.
Full Backing Promised.
The action was taken following
receipt from Washington of infor
mation that every interested branch
of the government would back the
board in its attempts to settle the
rail difficulties, members declared.
While both carriers and unions
promptly announced they would
comply with the order citing them
to appear before the board Wednes
day, W. G. Lee, president of the
Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen,
one of the organizations which has
called a strike, in a statement given
out in Cleveland asked by what
authority anyone could compel a
man to work and pointed out that
the right to strike had been upheld
by the United States supreme court.
Strike Preparations Made.
Trainmen on the International &
Great Northern, a Texas road, pre
pared to carry out plans to strike
tomorrow and the maintenance of
way and the firemen's unions, rep
resenting 400,000 rail workers, an
nounced that they would join the
proposed walkout October 30.
These two groups are part of the
11 unions numbering three-fourths
of the rail employes which had
voted to strike, but had not isaued
a strike call.
Besides stepping into the breach
between the carriers and the five
unions which have called a strike
the trainmen, the switchmen, the
engineers, the firemen and the con
ductors the labor board summarily
ordered the Tremont & Gulf rail
road, a 67-mile line in Louisiana, to
rescind its order installing an open
shop, effective tonight.
Act 'Said to Lack Teeth.
If the unions choose to carry
through strike plans which the board
asked them to defer, members of
the board said that the next move
would have to come from Washing
ton, intimating today's action ex
hausted their attempts to furnish
the teeth which the transportation
act, creating the board, was said by
many to luck. At the same time it
was pointed out that the transpor
tation act gives the board power to
cite the interested parties for
alleged violation of its rulings, as
it did in calling next Wednesday's
conference, but provides no penal
ties for violation of its decrees.
In connection with the labor board
order to defer strike action, it was
pointed out that the "big five" union
chiefs yesterday informed the board
that the strike could not be post
poned, as no arrangements for such
a contingency had been made, al
though it could be settled.
The board's announcement came
as one of the most sensational de
velopments in the rail crisis. It was
issued virtually without warning and

High Officials Say Such
Action Isn't Needed.
RAIL BOARD YET IN CHARGE
Cabinet Discusses Situation
With President.
CONFERENCE HOPE HELD
Belief Expressed Amicable and Def
inite Results Are Possible -"
1y Negotiations.
WASHINGTON, D. C, Oct. 21. Use
by the government of its war powers
to avert the threatened nation-wide
railroad strike, while suggested in
some quarters, will not be exercised.
It was stated late, today in high ad
ministration circles.
The impression was given that the
administration feels other avenues
are open by which a settlement may
be reached.
It was made plain by high officials
that they believed the use of war
powers was not necessary, mean
while declaring that "this nation Is
at peace." Belief was expressed that
amicable and definite results could be
obtalnedLthrough negotiations rather
than by use of force such as Involved
in the exercise of war powers.
Cabinet Meeting; la Held.
After the regular cabinet meeting
It became known that some members
of the president's official family had
advised him to use the war-time
authority to prevent the threatened
strike from seriously interfering with
the transportation of necessities. The
provision authorizing the president
to take such steps Is a part of the
national defense act, which continues
In force until there has been a formal
proclamation of peace.
Should the war powers be invoked
It is expected that the war depart
ment would be called on to perform
moet of the duties thus imposed upoa
the government. The degree of con
trol which would oe exercised oer
the roads would depend on the de
mands of the situation and might
reach the proportion of direct govern
mental operation.
Data Are an Record.
Personnel data showing the occu
pation of every man in the service
are a part of the permanent record
of the war department and Is under
stood to show that a large number
would be available from that source
to give experienced attention to the
task of operation. In addition the
government would expect considerable
help from volunteer sources. It was
understood that a large number of
such volunteer offers already had
reached Washington.

AN INOPPORTUNE
Comparative Figures Given on Na
val Establishments of World's
Leading Maritime Nations.
WASHINGTON, D. C, Oct. 21. (By
the Associated Press.) Latest statis
tics of the naval establishments of
the world's leading maritime powers,
compiled by informed officials here,
indicate that the American navy still
will be securely established in sec
ond place when present building pro
grammes are bompleted. 4
According to the tabulation -of fight
ing ships. Great Britain leads with
533, with an aggregate tonnage of
1,860,480. The United States has 464
ships of 1,289,463 tons, and Japan 99
of 628.689 tons. France and Italy
hold fourth and fifth places, with
tonnage totaling 462,000 and 275,000,
respectively.
Completion of present programmes
will add 17 ships to the British navy,
or 199,380 tons; 69 to the American,
734,928 tons, and 85 to the Japanese,
850,188 tons, exclusive of a special
submarine programme comprising: 120
submersibles.
Lacking information as to speed
and gunpower of some units included
in latest authorised naval pro
grammes, experts pointed out that a
comparison of "battle efficiency" was
difficult, if not practically Impossible.
Comparing heavier fighting ships,
the tabulation shows Great Britain
excels in battle cruisers, having six
of the first and four of the second
line, while Japan has four of the
first line and the United States none.
In battleships Great Britain still leads
with 26, while the United States, has
18, Japan 6, France 7 and Italy 4.
Great Britain has six second-line
battleships which she is said to be
ready to sell or scrap, while the
United States continues to hold 15,
Japan 4, France 7 and Italy 5. In
lig-ht cruisers Great Britain has 45,
aggregating 198,945 tons; the United
States none, Japan 9. totaling 43,850
tons, France 4 and Italy 5.
The United States leads with de
stroyers, having 293 of the first line
to Great Britain's 237 and Japan's 40.
In submarines Great" Britain leads.
She has 64 of the first line and 59 of
the second compared with 57 and 44
on the American naval lists.
Great Britain has the only aircraft
carriers, but the United States Is re
modeling a ship to serve in that
capacity. Great Britain has four of
the first line and three of the second.
AUTO CAMPERS' M.UST PAY
Spokane to Charge Tourists 50
Cents Admission Next Season.
SPOKANE, Wash., Oct. 21. (Spe
cial.) The city will charge a 60-cent
admission to the tourist camp under
the Hangman Creek bridge next sea
son. Under the plans outlined, the
council will collect 50 cents admission
charge .from cars entering the
grounds. This will permit a three
day stay without further payment.
A stall, or designated place, will be
given each party. Wood will be fur
nished and .stoves will be available
for use.
The estimated 85000 revenue which
this will bring will not go to the park
board for further improvement work,
but will revert back to the general
fund to compensate for the 15000
awarded for tourist camp use In 1922.

Girl Discovers Motherland
Calls for Police.
Tightly bound and gagged, Mrs. J.
E. Schlmp. 1026 East Kelly street,
was found on the front porch of her
home about 10 o'clock last night by
Ruth, her 13-year-old daughter. Po
lice inspectors are completely baf
fled. She was thought to have been
attacked by the same man who held
her up last Monday night at Eaet
Thirty-fourth and Lincoln streets as
she was on her way to Bible class.
Mrs. Schlmp was on the verge of
hysteria when police reached the
house in obedience to a summons
from Ruth, but she told them that
she answered the front door bell,
opened it a crack, and a" man there
said to her:
"Here- Is a special delivery letter
or you."
. She said that at the same time he
seized her by the hand, dragging her
outside, where he forced a gag Into
her mouth and tied it tightly with a
short rope which he knotted at the
nape of her neck. Then, Mrs. Schimp
said, he dragged her into the house,
through the living room to the dining
room, where he pulled an army blan
ket from a couch; he Immediately
turned then, she continued, dragging
her back toward the front door. As
he neared it he noticed a ball of
quarter-Inch clothesline rope on the
floor. He picked it up and dragged
her to the porch.
Mrs. Schlmp asserted that she was
seized so suddenly that she was
unable to scream before she was
gagged, and that the man was so
powerful that she was helpless In
his grasp. He bound her hands be
hind her, drew her feet to them and
trussed her securely, even wrapping
Several strands of the 30-foot rope
about her body.
Ruth, who said that she was in
the bath during this time, heard'her
mother go to the door, she said, but
claimed that she heard no unusual
noises. About five minutes later,
Ruth said she went upstairs to pre
pare for bed. Then she heard mys
terious thumps on the porch. In
vestigation revealed her mother, lying
on the porch floor and thumping upon
It as she endeavored to free herself.
The thug, evidently, had covered Mrs.
Schlmp with the blanket, which bad
fallen from her as she writhed about.
Ruth telephoned for the police, then
undid her mother's bonds. , Later she
pickled up a note from the porch
which read:
"Dear Lady I return the pin and

SEVERAL MANIFESTANTS HURT
American Government Is Bit
terly Denounced.
T0,000 PACK INTO HALL
Leaders, However, Do Not Attempt
to Carry Out Plan to Head
March to Embassy.
PARIS, Oct. 21. (By the Associat
ed Press.) Seven policemen were in
lured tonight by the explosion of a
bomb thrown Into a crowd In Wag
ram avenue during a meeting held
by the French communist party in
protest against the conviction for
murder in Massachusetts of the Ital
ians Sacco and VanzettL Several
manifestants also were hurt and six
persons were arrested, charged with
disorderly conduct.
The meeting had been widely ad
vertised as a protest against the
American government, capitalists' and
the "execution" of Sacco and Van
zettl. Speakers were bitter In their
vituperation of the American govern
ment.
10,000 Crowd Into Hall.
- Ten thousand persons crowded into
Wagram ball, and when the capacity
of the hall was reached there were
many demonstrators outside.
It had been advertised as the In
tention of the leaders to head the
throng on a march to the American
embassy. . There was no attempt to
do this.
Mounted republican guards and
many police patrolled the vicinity
while additional forces were held
ready to handle the Crowd when- the
meeting ended and prevent any
demonstration or a march toward the
embassy, around which a guard also
was posted.
. Police Efforts Reseated.
While the proceedings In the hall
were without Incident, except for
fiery speeches, the crowd outside re
sented efforts of the police to keep
them on the move, during which three
shots were fired at the mounted men.
One fell and the man who did the
firing was immediately cut down by
the saber of another mounted man.
The police then -closed the hall and
would not permit anyone to enter or
leave. During the speeches the aud
lence called on the leaders to march
upon the embassy, but the speakers
made no reference to such a move.
The anarchist newspaper Liber
taire and various communist news
papers, all calling upon the workers
to obtain the release of Sacco. and
V'anzettl, were circulated In the halL
Bomb Found t'sder Bench.
After the meeting an unexploded
bomb was found under a seat on the
boulevard near Wagram avenue. It
was one of the Mills type and Blmilar
to the one sent to Ambassador Her
rlck and the one thrown among the
police.
Demonstrations for Sunday at the
American consulates throughout the.
French provinces ' continued to be
planned as a protest against the con
viction of Sacco and V'anzettl.
It was announced today that the
Nantes communists would hold a
manifestation before the American
consulate there. Similar displays were
announced for Lille, Bordeaux, Mar
seilles, St. Nazalre, Lyons and other
places wherever the American gov
ernment is represented.
French police officials asserted to
day that more than 100 members of
the young communist organization in
Europe had slipped through the
Immigration lines and reached the
United States within the last two
months to cause trouble if Sacco and
V'anzettl are executed for the murder
of which they were convicted In Mas
sachusetts last summer.
To many of these men, the offi
cials said, passports had been re
fused at the American passport bu
reau, but later they were able to get
to America by other means. The po
lice are working on the theory that
some of these communists who failed
to get through the lines were respon
sible for the bomb sent to Ambassa
dor Herrlck, which blew up In his
home Wednesday.
Clew to Boat Is Fond.
This theory is the result of a threat
made by a young communist, who
said he was an Italian at the Ameri
can passport offices here Monday,
when the officials told him they could
not give him a vise for America un
less he conformed with the regula
tions. The applicant, who gave his
age as 22 years, became angry when
refused, exclaiming: "Somebody will
get killed for this." A guard was
immediately placed at the entrance
to the office. This man, the police
think, may be one of the group re
sponsible for the bomb sent to the
ambassador and the threats made
IVainst American officials in France.
Ambassador Herrlck. when he re
turned to his office this morning,
found 68 additional letters of protest
in connection with the Massachusetts

burn Coiffure Said to Have
Edge on Competitors.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 21. (Spe
cial.) Red headed girls are the best
weather Indicators. They are nat
ural barometers. No weather fore
caster can get along without them.
The weather man with a red headed
wife can outguess all the others. He
can take one look across the break
fast table and tell the weather for
the day. Smiles:" Fair weather.
Frowns: Look out for squalls. Tears:
Rain. Hatr lying down: Gentle
breezes. Hair standing up: Pity the
poor souls at sea.
How necessary red headed girls are
to weather forecasting was explained
today by Professor Earle Q. Llnsley,
geographer and astronomer at Mills
college, Oaklarfd. in telling his class
about "stonTi heralds of the sky."
Scientists require red hair for ex
periments with hydrometers. Profes
sor Llnsley explained, because red
hair Is more sensitive to weather con
ditions than other colors. The
wthr forecasters have to use hy
drometers and If they cannot get red
hair, they are at a disadvantage.
If red hair works on the girls the
way it does on the hydrometers, a
short cut might be taken by watch
ing the girls Instead of the instru
ments and the life of the weather
forecaster would be more endurable.

Woodrow Wilson, the man and
the president, as it will appear
serially in
The Oregonian, both daily
and Sunday, beginning with the
issue of Sunday. October 30,
1921.
A book of many chapters,
each chapter with its answered
enigma, written by one who
knows Woodrow Wilson inti-,
mately and who served with
him for more than a decade,
this inside record of American
political history is an impor
tant human and historical
document. It brings to the
public that elusive view of the
subject, a view so often sought,
glimpsed briefly, but never
fully attained. It answers rid
dles that have heretofore been
scaled by silence, and it is
necessarily replete with sur
prise and drama.
Its pages trace the rise of
Woodrow Wilson from the
New Jersey campaign of 1910
through the tragic eventful
phases of his career. In Wil
son's own words his quoted
opinions are given on the
events and policies that stirred
and puzzled the American peo
ple. The Oregonian is confi
dent its presentation of this
record constitutes a service
that thousands of readers will
appreciate regardless of po
litical belief a word that has
long been waited for. Save
Wilson himself no man but hi3
ex-secretary, Joseph P. Tu
multy, could have given these
facts, these views, to the
American public.
Serially both daily and Sun
day in The Morning Oregonian,
beginning October 30.
