TELEGRAPHERS YET TO VOTE
Union of Keymen Expected
to Follow Suit and Re
scind Walkout Order.
CHICAGO, Oct. 27. (By the As
sociated Press.) The rail strike,
scheduled for October 30, was
averted tonight when leaders of the
switchmen, trainmen, conductors,
engineers and firemen at a joint
meeting adopted resolutions with
drawing authorization of a walkout
and officials of the railroad tele
graphers' organization announced
they would take similar action.
These were the only unions which
had authorized a strike.
The vote calling off the strike was
unanimous by organizations, W. G.
Lee, president of the Brotherhood of
t- ' i t- : J
AaiiruttU X rttjllincii, auiiuuiiLcu.
Strike Order Is Canceled.
The official wording of the resolu
tion adopted was that the "strike be
declared not effective."
The vote in the individual unions
was usually close, however, the fire
men particularly holding lengthy
arguments before agreeing to can
cellation of the strike order, the la
bor chieftains said. In some of the
groups the ballot was- described as
"the closest in history on a similar
question." All of the differences
were ironed out by the different
unions, however, and the final show
down found all of them casting their
ballots for "no strik '
-Public Opinion Factor.
L. E. Sheppard, president of the
Order of Railroad Conductors, said
that the unions had decided to call
off the strike because of "the grow
ing public opinion that the strike
would be against the labor board and
consequently the government and
not against the railroads.
"It was evident also that the en
tire Washington administration was
opposed to us and that we had
little chance of gaining our ob
jectives," said Mr. Sheppard.
"We called this strike to gain cer
tain rights to which our men were
entitled," Mr. Sheppard told the As
sociated Press.
Propaganda Held Misleading.
"It soon became evident, however,
that the roads were succeeding in
their misleading propaganda to the
effect that we really would be strik
ing against the government.
"This railroad propaganda found
Its way to the United States railroad
labor board. This governmental
agency told us that it would look on
a strike as against it and the gov
ernment and not against the roads,
and that the full force of the gov
ernment would be brought to bear
against us if we walked out. Under
such circumstances there was noth
ing to do but annul our orders for
the October 30 walkout."
All Union Conferees Smile.
The first announcement of the
executives' action was made by Mr.
Lee. Rushing to the floor below the
hotel meeting room where dozens
of newspaper men were congregated,
he smilingly shouted:
"The strike is off, boys, but I've
only got one copy of the resolution,
and I'll show that to you tomorrow."
All of the union men were smiling
as they came out, and many of them
jocularly pushed and shoved each
other down the stairs. To all queries
most of them merely replied
"It's all settled. See you tomor
row." The code messages calling off the
strike, arranged in advance, will be
sent out tomorrow morning, the
union heads said. A code word will
be sent to each general chairman of
the unions and he will in turn for-

Professor Starr Says Lack of Ug

Termed Prettlness.
CHICAGO. Oct 27. (Special.)
"There are no beautiful women in the
United States. It la only our Ameri
can good nature that makes us call
a girl who Is not phenomenally ugly
a pretty girl."
Frederick Starr, professor of an
thropology has been added to the So
ciety of Noted Crepe Hangrers by Uni
versity of Chicago co-eds because of
the foregoing- statement, which he
made to a startled class.
Then he continued:
"A handsome man or woman la the
rarest of all creatures. There la no
real beauty In the United States. Only
among: Llberlan and kindred races Is
real beauty to be found."
Then after praising; African belts
he asserted Americans were too hy
brid to be beautiful.
"Our standards of beauty would be
denied by any European nation," he
said. "The Corean yellow race quite
frequently surpasses us In specimens
of beauty. The Igorrotea at the
world's fair were everywhere mar
veled at for their physical attributes
"Beauty In a blond race is next to
Impossible. It is more difficult for
a blond to measure up to beauty
standards than It is for a brunette."
The blond co-eds glared at him and
made a noise like Indignation.

the streets were jammed.
So great was the crowd about the
Grady monument that many could
not hear, and those on the outskirts

quiet them. The noise continued,
however. At last police reserves
Joined the soldiers and cadets as
signed to preserve order.

Terrace hotel, where he was tendered

gramme, and public-spirited citizens
are co-operating with the commission
to supply them.
M. A. Mayer of Mayerdale has offered-
about 260 acres as a park site
on the Columbia River highway. The
tract Includes the loops on Rowena
hill, between Hosier and The Dalles,
one of the beauty spots of the upper

In behalf of the California-Oregon

Other Proposals Received.
Other proposals for beautifying the
highways were received. The town
of Harrisburg, for instance, proposes
planting- walnut trees along the
Pacific h'ghway in that vicinity. No
action was taken on this as the trees
cannot be planted until the pavement
is laid, as the saplings would be de
stroyed during road construction. It
was not specified as to who would
be entitled to collect the walnut
harvest of the future. From Scap-
poose, on the lower Columbia river
highway, arrived a plan for making
the highway more ornamental by
planting rose bushes. Herbert Nunn,
state highway engineer, had a pro
posal of his own he suggested the
planting of English ivy to hold slopes.
A delegation from the Portland
Chamber of Commerce presented a
request that the highway commission
build the proposed Wall u la cut-off,
which would run along the Columbia
river from Umatilla to a junction
with a road on the Washington side
of the line.
Great ' Bavins; Predicted.
It was argued that this would be
a great saving for certain traffic
which, by use of the cut-off, would
not be compelled to go around
through Pendleton to reach the Co
lumbia river highway. John B. Yeon.
commissioner, expressed himself as
believing that the cut-off is logical,
but that there Is no chance of the
commission placing any mors new
roads on the map until further funds
have been furnished. The Wallula
cut-off has been before the commis
sion two or three times. It is ar
dently opposed by the people of
Pendleton.
Bids for grading the Roseburg-Coos
bay highway from Bridge to Myrtle
Point were ordered advertised for the
next meeting. The distance is about
ten miles. Coos county asked that the
commission lay a concrete pavement
between Myrtle Point and Coqullle,
but the commission explained that it

Tears Stream Down Face as
Representative Leaves.
OWN ACTION DEFENDED
Fire of Questions Causes Defend
ant to Cut Hearing Short
nd Go Out of Room.
WASHINGTON, D. C, Oct 17
Thomas L. Blanton, a Texas democrat,
saved from being; thrown out of the
house of representatives by only
eight votes, was publicly reprimanded
late today by Speaker Olllett, in ac
cordance with a resolution of censure,
against which no man cast a vote.
Then, a moment later, as he walked
out of the chamber with all eyes on
him, he toppled over in a heap. Some
of his colleagues who had voted to
expel him, picked him up and placed
him on a lounge. But he did not stay
there long;. Rousing; himself, he
stumbled out, tears streaming down
his cheeks. He was heard to express
the hope that he might never see the
house again.
Fight Hade ia Defease.
There was no doubt, as members
expressed it, that the Texan wai
crushed and worn 'by his experience
of the day, an experience that seldom
comes during the life of a man in
congress. For an hour and ten min
utes, with hostile eyes on htrri, he
fought to defend himself from the
charge that he had transgressed the
law by putting into the congressional
record a document described as "un
speakably vile."
Before he got up to speak, It w
the view of republicans and demo
crats that action upon the resolution
to expel him would depend on his
own attitude. He sat with folded
hands as Representative Mondell, re
publican leader, pleaded to have him
cast out. And then, pale and smil
ing, he stepped to the front as the
leader sat down.
Voire Hoarse and Broken.
His voice hoarse and broken, he
tcuched rapidly upon the charges,
and then his old-time fighting fire
returned. At the beginning he said
he knew the house was prepared to
expel him.
When a rap of the gavel sounded
the end of the hour allotted him, he
stopped in the midst of a sentence
and turning upon his heels was half
way out when a request was made
from the democratic side that he
have SO additional minutes and was
opposed by Mondell. But the leader
was quick to withdrsw his objection
and the Texan was resummoned.
Refusing at first to yield for ques
tions, he permitted Representative
Longworth. republican. Ohio, to ask
him something and republicans as
serted tonight that the reply had
turned the tide against him. The
Ohio member wanted to know If the
rtport was true that Mr. Blanton had
declared an intention to mail 260.000
copies of the undelivered epeech,
1th its offending affidavit, ' after
the house had ordered it stricken
from the record.
Representatives Are Roused.
Only a lack of money, he said, pre
vented its mailing to every votln
man.
Instantly half a dosen represent
atives were on their feet.
Representative Blanton had re-
ifnnrluded on face 8. (olunin 1
