That a substantial reduction in the switching charges on East Water street will be made imme diately bv the Portland Railway. iignt & Power company, and that three railroad lines, namely, the Souftern Pacific, the Spokane, Portland & Seattle railway, and the Oregon-Washington Railroad & Navigation company will absorb all east side switching charges in their rates on all land freight shipments other than local, was the announce ment made yesterday by the com mittee of 15 prominent east side business men -who have been con ferring with the railroad officials. A smaller sub-committee was ap pointed consisting of Drake C. O'Reilly of the Diamond O Naviga tion, company; George Cherry of P. Im Cherry & Co., and S. L. Brown of the Pacific Storage & Delivery company, to request immediate ac tion on the part of the rail com panies, and after a meeting with the officials of the four lines concerned, the foregoing report was carried back to the main committee. The rail companies have agreed to put the new rates in effect at once. Officials at Conference. Present at the conference in which the decision to lower the rates was made were W. D. Skinner of the Spokane, Portland & Seattle railway; J. D. Hunt, traffic man ager of the Portland Railway, Light & Power company; J. H. Mulchay, general freight agent of the South ern Pacific, and A. Kelling, assist ant-general freight agent of the Union Pacific. ( P. J. Rosenberg, superintendent of the Supple docks and chairman or tne committee which has been conferring with the rail companies to get the excessive charges re duced, said yesterday that the will ingness with which the railroad of ficials complied with the requests of the committee was appreciated by all of the business interests con cerned. The biggest concession was made by the Portland Railway, Light & Power company, which has reduced all of its charges to the maximum of $2.50. Franchise Rule Restored. The franchise owned by the Port land Railway, Light & Power com pany for their lines on East Water street was said originally to have limited the charges for switching to $2.50 a car, but that in recent years this had been abrogated and the charges ran up in all cases to $9.50 en each car except for cement. The minimum charges for switching ce ment cars by the company have been $5.50. The other three companies concerned were not affected sub stantially by the new ruling. 'But under the plan which has been in operation, each of the four rail com panies was entitled to charge its minimum rate if the shippers' cars crossed its tracks. The flat rate cnarge or 2.50 will now be. made. xne old plan has also been to make switching charges according to the different commodities hauled. Under the new arrangement the flat rate of $2.50 for each car will ppiy to all commodities and the differential rate plan will be abandoned. Saving la Enormous. I The new rates created by the ad justment conference between the rail officials and the business in terests .of the east side will mean saving of thousands of dollars each year to the interested concerns. Much new business will be drawn to the east side through the reduction of the excessive switching rates, and it is understood, that a great deal of this business which has been awaiting this readjustment will begin to move immediately upon the new rates being put into operation. J The committee passed a resolu tion which will be presented to the city council meeting today favoring the west side terminal angr a rep resentative body from the business Interests of the east side will pre sent the committee's opinion on the advisability of vacating the streets and beginning work on the terminal. It is understood that this resolution I !""""" will be presented with the idea that! a union terminal should be the ulti mate solution of the shipping situa tion, when all interests will benefit equally. Committee Personnel Enumerated. The members of the committee of 15 ' which has been conferring with the-rail officials and through whose efforts the adjustment has been brought about are: A. H. Averill, A. H. Averill Machinery company; Drake C. O'Reilly, Hawthorne Dock company; Dan Kern, Columbia Con tract company; S. L. Brown, Pacific Storage & Delivery company; S. B.

MAIL RATE H tlKEtlf REDUCTION ON SECOND-CLASS MATTER URGED. -J- President and Postmaster-General Reported Favorable Provid ed Deficit Can Be Avoided. WASHINGTON, D. C, June 20. The administration - is y considering the matter of decreasing : second- class postal rates, it was said today at the White House. Considerable discussion was given to the subject at today's cabinet meeting and President Harding and Postmaster General Work are inclined to be lieve that at least a part of the increase in the second-class rates made during the war should now rbe removed. The , postmaster-general is ' under stood to have told the ""president that he would readily agree to legis lation reducing rates on second class mail matter, if some method, waa evolved whereby the postoffice would not sustain a deficit. The present rates as applied ' to the larger shippers, he is said to believe, are entirely too high or the pub lishers of the country would not be utilizing private, agencies in the transportation of 'their products. Under proposed reduced rates said to have been suggested to the post office department by publishing houses which have repeatedly asked decreases in rates, the government revenues, it was declared,' would be decreased by approximately $7,000, 000. Such a reduction would mean a saving of about $10,000,000 annually to the publishers,, the latter were said to have estimated, adding, how ever, that in the event of reduced rates, a much greater volume of business diverted from express and railroad companies would not only make up any deficit sustained by the department but would result in a profit of several million dollars to the government. The postmaster-general was rep resented by postal officials as look-: ing at the rate situation from a "purely business standpoint." He felt that the publishers should be afforded relief, it was said, but at the same time was not disposed to make any move which would re flect upon the business manage ment of the department. If assured by the publishers of sufficient busi ness to meet any additional expense on the part' of the department, he was perfectly willing to go before congress, his advisers said, and recommend a reduction in rates. Tillamook Elects J. M. Smith. TILLAMOOK, Or., June 20. (Spe cial.) At the election today to choose a director and school clerk, there were only two names on the official ballot, J. Merrill Smith for re-election as director, and Chester A. McGhee for re-election as school clerk. Mr. Smith captured 372 votes and Mr. McGhee 389, there being nine scattering votes for the office of school director. The election of Mr. Smith means that some of the "frills" in the school will be elim inated, for there is a strong senti ment for a decrease in taxation.

AGENT, Ancestral Seat Abandoned. LONDON. The marquis of Lon donderry has decided to move out of Seaham Hall, which the family have occupied for over 100 years, and sell the contents at auction. The reason given is that, owing to heavy taxation and the increasing cost of keeping up such a big place, he can no longer afford to live in it. Thus the marquis becomes a recruit to the ranks of those noble men who have been compelled re cently to sell or close their ancestral seats because they can no longer afford to maintain them Narcotics Are Seized.

Catholic Citizenship ARTICLE ONE. "The jury, after listening to the testimony of the prosecution, and HAVING' REFUSED to hear the defendant, returned a verdict of 'guilty.-' " Extraordinary news item, would it not be ? 'And yet you, dear Mr. and Mrs. Anti-Catholic, in countless instances, hae done this very thing. In truth, what do you know against the citizenship of Catholic neighbors, except from hearsay and hostile sources? When did you give the other side a chance to defend itself? The Catholicity professed by your neighbors has been painted in shadeless black; but so was Jesus Christ, condemned as a blasphemer, an apostate, a traitor. He was silent under accusation, just, as your Catholic neighbors usually are; even in the present instance, it is NOT Catholic religion or dogma as such, that is here defended, but Catholic citizenship; lest by continued silence, hostility, hatred, antag onism between American citizens be augmented. To avoid this, is patriotic duty no less than justifiable self defense.. Some attack the citizenship of Catholic neighbors from fanatical bigotry; with these, appeals to fairness and reason are generally in vain. Others do so from mercenary motives, there is money in it. With such, efforts are still more useless; there is no conscience there to which one can appeal. . But many others are deceived by fraud and falsehood, just as were the crowds that clamored for Christ's crucifixion.' With these we would reason. A PLEA FOR TOLERANCE AND UNITY. Catholics antl Protestants together settled America, which Catholic Columbus had discovered, and which countless Catholic missionaries explored and baptized in their blood. Together they felled the forests, drained the swamps and plowed the land. Together they fought the battles of the Revolution, finally snatched from failure hy' Catholic France, Poland, Ireland, who sent thousands of men and millions of money to aid the struggling1 colonies. Side by side, they stood when life and liberty were at stake. Why should they NOW suffer designing men to betray them into hatred for each other? 'Why? When America was convulsed with Civil War, Catholics and Protestants stood shoulder to shoulder. Together they marched, fought, endured, died, and now their dust lies mingled upon every battle field. Who will deny, to (Jatholic generals like Sheridan,. Mulligan, Buell, Shields and Rosecrans the same undying glory merited by Non-Catholic comrades? Shall the : sacred ties" welded , in war be destroyed in peace, through the intolerance and cupidity of a few? - The American constitution, the constitution of Oregon and each other state, all guarantee liberty of worship, belief, even of religious opinion. Already grossly violated by the maligners of Catholic citizenship, these foes of national peace and concord, would entirely destroy these sacred rights if possible. - Until now, Catholics' and Non-Catholics in Oregon have lived in Christian harmony and friendship. But today enemies are creating hatred, prejudice, dissension. Do not allow them to succeed. - Do not be one of the Jury, which after listening to the testimony of the prosecution, and HAVING REFUSED TO HEAR THE DEFENDANT, returned a verdict of "guilty." Article TWO to appear Monday, June 26. Persons wishing to reply to or comment upon above, or procure further inf orma . tion on Catholic teaching and its relations to Catholic citizenship are cordially invited to address E. E.

(Paid Advertisement.) 2 stms,t3: Ataquarryinthelmperial Valley, California, where aggregates were being ob tained for another addi tion to the State's system of Concrete roads, the methods used in screening the stone caused a waste of 35 per cent. One of the Portland Ce-. ment Association field en-. gineers interested in the progress of thjsworkcalled attention to studies made by our Structural Mate rials Research Laboratory on the selection and pro portioning of materials for Concrete. Hesuggested that proper application of these might considerably reduce the waste. A change in the method of screening ma terials was therefore adopt ed, reducing the waste to only 15 per cent, without lowering the strength of the Concrete.- Now the stone is costing 42 cents instead of $1 a ton, as estimated when the contract was let this year, as against $1.45 actual cost last year. On the mileage to be built, this means a saving of more than $30,000, which will be used to build more Concrete road at no cost to the taxpayers. This is but one example of the value of our laboratory studies to users of Concrete. The Labora tory's work is to develop contin ually, without cost to the public, better and . more economical methods of making and using Con crete under all conditions. The Laboratory is one of the numerous services maintained by the Portland Cement Association . the joint research and educa tional foundation of 85 inde pendent manufacturers in the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Cuba, conducted for the bene fit of those who want dependable information on how to use .
