THE MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, JULY 13, 1923
E
SAY EXECUTIVES
Chiefs Refuse to Meet Shop-
men's Leaders.
DOOR IS LEFT OPEN
Strike Recall Order Held First
Essential to Settlement of
' ; Railroad Controversy.
CHICAGO, July 12. (By the As
sociated Press.) While flatly re
fusing to meet the leaders of 400,000
striking shopmen to discuss peace
proposals, railway executives to
night left open the door for a set
tlement of the strike through the
United States rail labor board.
Immediately after reaching an
agreement with the heads of the
"big four" brotherhoods not to re
quire their members to do any of
the work of striking shopmen, the
executives began consideration of a
peace programme submitted to them
by Ben W. Hooper, chairman of the
labor bo." id, after a conference with
B: M. Jewell, head of the striking
shopmen.
;Their answer, in the form of a
letter addressed to Mr. Hooper, who
said he was acting in a "personal
capacity" in initiating the negotia
tions, asserted that the strike' was
called in defiance of the board and
that therefore any conference be
tween the executives and the
strikers would not be "permissible
or tolerable," as it would place the
carriers in the position of seeking
to find means to subvert the decision
nt t h ft hnard.
; Recall Order Prerequisite.
"A prompt recall of the strike
order," the letter added, however,
"would permit the resumption of
former methods of. conference and
permit the consideration of any
matters which representatives of
employes might desire to submit."
fThe willingness of the roads,
however, to respond promptly to
any summons by the labor board to
any further hearing that may be
called in connection with this sub
ject in event the board should de
termine upon that course was ex
pressed in closing by the execu
tives. tlhe letter was signed by Samuel
IC Felton, president of the Chicago
&i Great Western; L. F. Loree o(
the Delaware & Hudson, B. F. Bush
of the Missouri Pacific and W. R.
Cole of the Nashville, Chattanooga
& St. Louis.
"It means flatly no!" declared Mr.
Felton, when asked regarding the
decision reached, by the executives
as he left the conference room at
the Chicago club.
Outlook More Favorable.
;"It may be final, but ltfl only
final for today," declared Mr. Jew
ell, when the text of the letter
was read to him over the telephone.
He refused further comment, de
claring he could not speak until he
had heard from Mr. Hooper, who
,had opened negotiations with him.
In railway circles the belief was
expressed that the mere opening of
negotiations was a long step to
ward a peaceful settlement, and
the moves of the day had resulted
in throwing the case back into the
lap of the labor board in the exact
position in which it had rested
when Mr. Jewell had allowed a
strike order to go into effect on
July 1 after ignoring a summons to
appear before the board with the
railway executives and explain his
action.
Authoritative reports declare that
the shopmen's programme for set
tlement of the strike includes an
agreement to abolish the farming
out of shop work to contractors, the
revision of pay schedules in respect
to overtime, permission for a re
hearing of the whole wage contro
versy by the labor board and Cre
ation by the railway of boards of
adjustment provided for jn the
transportation act, .
Further Walkout Averted.
Railway men asserted that the
roads practically had. all agreed to
stop the practice of outside con
trading on orders from the labor
board and that an agreement by the
, board to grant immediate hearings
to requests ror pay increases retro
active until July 1, when the latest
decrease became effective, on the
ground that government figures
showed an. increase in the cost of
living since the board rendered Its
decision, had averted a threatened
walkout by some 400,000 mainte'
nance of way men who suffered
equally with the shopmen. The be
lief also was strongly expressed that
the question of overtime would not
be permitted to stand in the way of
a settlement when the conference
stage was reached.
Meanwhile violent outbreaks be
tween strike sympathizers, railway
guards and federal marshals, were
reported in increasing numbers and
annulment of trains continued in
many sections of the country. One
man was killed, several were seri
ously injured and a score were kid
naped and beaten in these out
breaks.
The most serious outbreak was at
Denison, Tex., where 51 men were
attacked by a mob early today, In
eluding 48 being brought to Denison
to be sworn in as federal marshals.
The attack occurred while the men
were marching from the train in
which they had arrived from Dallas
to the Missouri, Kansas & Texas
ehops, '
FARMING OF WORK FOUGHT
Further Repairs for Strike-Af
fected Roads Forbidden.
WASHINGTON. D. ,C, July 12.
Members of all unions affiliated
with the metal trades department of
the American Federation of Labor
were informed in orders sent out to
day from headquarters here that no
further repair work will be author
ized on locomotives coming from
railroads on which strikes are in
" progress to outside chops employing
union labor.
The order, sent out by A. J. Berres,
secretary-treasurer of the depart
ment, was to be effective at once.
Identical copies went to the preei
dents of all internationals affiliated
with the metal trades group, who
were instructed to notify their lo
cals.
States marshals' on 'guard ' at the
Missouri, Kansas & Texas ehops at
Denison, were kidnaped, taken to
the woods and, beaten by a mob of
1000 at Denison early today, accord
ing to reports to the, railroad's gen
eral offices- here.
The reports said the mob attacked
railway guards and employes in an
isolated section near the Missouri,
Oklahoma & Gulf railroad shops.
"P.ailway guards were kidnaped and
whisked away in automobiles to the
river, bottoms, where they were
beaten." said H. E. McGee, general
manager of the "Katy" here.
A request , to the governor for
troops to protect Texas & Pacific
workmen at Dallas was made by
J. I Lancaster, receiver for the road,
and was forwarded to Governor Neff
at Stephensville by the adjutant
general without comment.
McGee eaid he could not give de
tails of the affair nor the names of
any of the men reported kidnaped..
"All I can say is that a mob of
about 1000 wild men broke loose and
attacked railway employes' he said.

Selections From Tower.

" Programme of Music.
A well-balanced programme of
radio entertainments, exceptionally
brilliant " throughout, was broad
cast from The Oregonian tower last
night and proved to be, according
to many listeners, so far as the
a decided factor in the success of
the concert.
Mr. Monteith . sans; five numbers
which charmed all listeners and
brought in dozens of reports and
requests for other numbers by tele
phone. His selections were "Duna,"
"Roses ' in Picardy," "A Dream of
Arcady," "Rolling Down to Rio" and
"Toreador Song" from "Carmen."
It was the first time Mrs. Hutch
inson had ever sung over radio, but
it will not be the last. Her voice
proved admirably suited to radio
broadcasting and her numbers were
among the high lights of the con
cert. Her selections were "Madrigal
of May," from "The Jest"; Some
where a Voice Is Calling." ."Be1-;
ceuse," from the opera "Jocelyn,"
and "By the Waters of Minne
tonka." - Violinist Makes Bis Hit.
" Mr. Leplat was in his usual form.
He is probably best known of all
radio violin players and is also
perhaps the" best violinist in the
Pacific northwest. He played three
of hia very best and most appreci
ated - numbers. They were "Kol
Nedrei," "Au Bord' d'un Ruiseau"
and, by request, the Rimsky-Korsa-doff
composition "Hymn to the
Sun."
Without any Intermission the sec
ond part of the programme merged
into the first, Mr. Onstad singing
the first solos. Assisted at the piano
by Miss Flora Gray, he sang in ex
cellent voice "Caro ' Mio Bien,"

RADIO GARBLES ADDRESSES
Ad Club Luncheon Meeting Has
Setback Due to Failures.
A balky radio set disapointed the
Ad Club members attending the
"home-coming" luncheon yesterday
noon. Addresses by Mayor Baker,
Marshall Dana and Miles Standish,
broadcast from the Willard P. Haw
ley station, which were part of the
luncheon programme,' were Heard
excellently by hundreds of receiv
ing stations within many miles' ra
dius but the club set refused to
"perk" well, as radio operators say,
and the clubmen caught nothing but
a sentence now and then.
Mayor Baker talked on "Putting
Life Into Oregon," Marshall Dana,
on "Your Club," and Miles Standish
on "What Can the Ad Club Do For
Me?"
The luncheon was opened with a
song by Walter Jenkins also broad
cast irom the Hawley station, but
only a part of the song .was heard
by the club members.

to transfer them to some other city.
Dr. Stanley J. Rinehart, consulting
physician on tuberculosis for the
veterans' bureau, expressed, himself
as pleased' with conditions at the
Pierce sanitarium. Colonel Forbes
seemed impressed with conditions
at the institution, and remarked that
they had improved considerably
since his last visit hero.

in Portland.
Seven artists no two alike
contributed to the long programme,
and the variety of entertainment
held the entire radio audience to
the very last, telephone reports
being received unabated' until a
quarter of an hour after the sta
tion had signed off..
Artists Who Appeared. -
The artists w,ere John Claire
Monteith, baritone; Maurice Le
plat, violinist; Mrs. Virginia Hutch
inson, contralto; Miss Margaret
Laughton, flutist; Miss Ruth Mari
aghan, soprano; Gordon Onstad,
tenor, and Anthony Euwer, poet.
The poems of Anthony Euwer,
who is a humorist of delightful
vein, proved a decided innovation
in local radio broadcasting and ut-i
terly charmed thousands of listen
ers. Mr. Euwer, of course, can pro
vide the best interpretations of his
own poetry, and his readings, with
full inflection and meaning, were
heard clearly and distinctly over
the entire field within the broad
casting radius of The Oregonian
tower. His first one was "Lieuten
ant Lutie's Cootie," from his vol
ume "Wings and Other War
Rhymes," and three more were
were from his volume "Rhymes of
Our Valley." They were "The Lit
tle Runt," "A Day Mooly in Straw
berry Time" and "The Soul of the
Average Man."
Two Concerts Are Given.
The- programme was divided into
two concerts. During the first hour
the artists were Mr. Monteith, Mrs.
Hutchinson and Mr. Leplat. The ac
companiments for all three artists
were played by May Van Dyke
Hardwick, the regular accompanist
for Mr. Leplat, whose playing was

"Now Sleeps the Crimson Petal" and
"Believe Me If All Those Endearing

ber of listeners who gent in calls
of congratulations. ;
Flute Solos Exquisite.
The instrumental part of the sec
ond concert consisted offlute solos
by Miss Laughton, assisted at the
piano by Flora Mae Ross. Miss
Laughton played for radio in The
Oregonian tower once before, but
last night proved a far greater suc
cess than her first appearance. Al
though the flute has very little vol
ume, it carries superbly over radio,
and many listeners said they heard
it; better than, anything else. Her
three - numbers were "Heinweh,"
"Andalouse" and Chopin's: "Noc
turne, Opus 9, No. 2."
Miss Managhan proved a complete
surprise and a delightful one. She
is a pupil studying with F. A. Doug
las, her accompanist last night, and
her voice received a great deal of
praise.
Songs Are Well Executed.
She sang all three of her numbers
exceptionally well, although they
were difficult to handle. Her se
lections were "Ballatello," from
"Pagliacci"; "Sweetheart, Thy Lips
Are Touched With Flame," and
"After," the last a composition by
Clough-Leighter.

fainted and then went into a fit of
violent hysterics that lasted until
she was relieved by ministrations
of Dr. Seabrook of the city emer
gency hospital.
Ilyne and her escort had finished i
eating in a small restaurant . near
her. home when some boys brought
in the snake. She was watching it
wriggle, with that inward loathing
peculiar to all girls who do not go
to the opposite extreme and become
snakechaismers, when the young
man thoughtlessly took the snake
by the tail and swung it toward
her. ' .
Those who were eating- at the
time enjoyed a real sensation. Ilyne
screamed and dropped to the floor
in a dead faint. A sprinkle of cold
water brought her to, but the
frightened young man was com
pletely demoralized when she be
came hysterical. He assisted her
home and then hurried to police
headquarters for a doctor.
At headquarter the following
conversation took place as the
young man walked up to the desk:
"Some fellow threw a snake on a
girl's arm and she's about crazy,"
he said to Sergeant Huchins of the
information desk.
"The deuce you say," returned
Huchins. "What blankety-blank-blank
blank blank did that?"
"I did," the young fellow an
swered truthfully.
Dr. Seabrook went with him to
Ilyne's home. He reported upon his
return to the station that she was
entirely recovered from her fright.
