CHICAGO. Aug. SO. Shop, crafts
leaders remaining i Chicago in the
absence of B. M. Jewell, head of
. the striking shopmen, and other of
ficers of the six unions, who are
still in Xew York in connection
with peace negotiations, tonight ex
pressed belief that the strike would
end this week.
Among these was John Scott, secretary-treasurer
of the shopmen's
organization. Mr. Scott said he
based his optimism largely on a let
ter received from President Jewell,
who reported prospect of early set
tlement as "good."
However. Mr. Scott scouted a re
port that President Jewell already
had ent out a notice to general
chairmen that the workers probably
m would be ordered back to work "not
later than Monday."
"Any such order," he said, "would
come to the- headquarters here first,
ard we would send them out."
The report as to this notice orig
inated in a press dispatch from Ard
more, Okla. . '
Msdill McCormick, United States
yenator, arriving in Chicago today,
said a conversation with a man
who attended joint conferences1 be
tween railway executives and chiefs
of the bisr four brotherhoods, led
him t believe a settlement may be
expected this week.
J. F. McGrath, vice-president of
tile strikers' organization, tonight
issued a statement in which he said
the strike continues to spread on
the Pennsylvania and New York
Central railways, despite reports to
tht contrary.
Officials of the Santa Ve railway
anr.ovncej that normal service has
been resumed on Its system, includ
ing the territory west of Albu
querque, N. M.
RETURN ORDER IS DENIED
Union Heads Hare No Knowledge
of Reported Instructions.
CHICAGO, Aug. 20. (Bv the As
sociated Press.) Officers of the
railway employes' department of the
American Federation of Labor to
day denied all knowledge of lnstruc
tions reported sent by B. M. Jewell,
head of the striking shop crafts,
telling general chairmen to hold
themselves in readiness to call off
the strike. Shop crafts officials said
it was impossible that Mr. Jewell
couia nave sent the telegram re
ported received at Ardmore. Okla.
last night by John Scags, who said
he was the union representative at
Uamesville, Tex.
"This is to serve notice to call to
gether all members and hold them
in readiness to return to their
places ordered vacated by me July
1." read the telegram that was tele
phoned to an Ardmore newspaper
irom a man who said he was Scags.
"We want no delay in getting back
on our jobs. We are confident call
will not be later than Monday." The
message had Mr. Jewell's name
signed to it and was addressed to all
general chairmen of the federated
shop crafts.
Shop crafts officials at strike
headquarters here said that in case
a decision was reached to call off
the strike it would not be according
to union procedure for Mr. Jewell to
send such a telegram and even had
he sent it n would have been
code or would have been preceded
oy tne coae messages.
The name of the man who said he
received the message is not listed
among the general chairmen. John
Scott, secretary of the federated
shop crafts, said.
wnile union officials maintained
the situation was too critical to in
dulge in speculation concerning a
settlement. Senator Medlll McCor
mick, who arrived in Chicago from
me eti, in a statement said ne was
nopeful of settlement.
1 talked to a man who attended
the meeting between brotherhoods
executives and railroad officials in
Xew York last week," Senator Mc
Cormick said, "and this man said
that a settlement of the rail strike
within a week seemed assured as a
result or isew York meetings.
-BIG FOUR" NOT TO STRIKE

ULitVELANU, Aug. 20. (By the
Associated .Press.) There is nr. rlan

portation brotherhoods being drawn
iniu a. sympatnetic strike, even
should negotiations to end . the

tenner would comment on the
progress or tne negotiations. "1
can i mR6 any comment on the
progress or the negotiations," Mr.
ttone earn. "Too much has been
sain already.
"Wo are acting as mediators and
mediators only prejudice their use
fulness by talking," Mr. Robertson
said. "I would rather not be asked
to say anything .until the confer
ences are over. I can't make any
predictions now."
Asked what position the brother
hoods will be in if the negotiations
fail, Mr. Stone said they "will be in
the came position they were before.
The strike will simply go on."
"There nevr has been any sym
pathetic strike nor any considered,"
he continued. "There are safety laws
to take care of the defective equip
ment, which would endanger the
lives of Brotherhood members, and
it will be only necessary to enforce
those laws."

CARAVAN CLOSES TRIP
(Continued From. First Page.)
Oregon at large that they are not
being asked for a state tax for the
fair, but only to vote a constitu
tional amendment to enable the vot
ers to tax themselves, and we ac
complished much in the promotion
of sentiment for a more united Ore
gon; for teamwork and full jO-oper
ation among all cUies and all sec
tions of the state for th general
good. We have brought Portland
closer to the rest of Oregon. I be
lieve more such trips should be un
dertaken.
'It was fairly amazing to find so
much misunderstanding in some of
the communities visited about the
proposed measure for the November
election. Many people had thought
we were asking for a -general state
tax for exposition purposes.
Cordiality Is Shown.
'Many others had no sort of an
idea as to what the proposal was.
They know now. We told them. We
were received with the greatest cor
diai'ty almost everywhere, and our
trip was' enjoyable, notwithstanding
that we were working or traveling
every day from 6 A. M. to 10 or 11
P. M except that half day we spent
at Crater Lake, when everybody re
laxed. 1 believe the trip accom
plished what we set out to accom
plish."
The caravan's progress was easy
yesterday and over paved roads for
the most part. The first event of the
day after the departure from Eu
gene "Was a detour from Monroe
which took the caravan through the
great Oako orchards there. After a
brief stop in Monroe, the caravan
proceeded to Corvall.'s under "escort
of a committee of Corvallis citizens
who had come out tomeet it. The
campus of Oregon Agricultural-college
was toured and then Mayor N.
H. Moore welcomed the caravan at
meeting in the park block. C. E.
Ingalls, editor of the Gazette-Times,
had arranged with the pastors of
the churches to dismiss their con
gregations a little earlier than
usual, and a good attendance at the
caravan meeting resulted.
Mayor Baker Speaks.
Mayor Baker made one of his
characteristic speeches advocating
co-operation throughout all of Ore
gon by all of its people, and Otto R
Hartwig explained the exposition
amendment to go on the ballot.
Walter Jenkins sang "Mv Oregon."
At Albany the caravan had lunch
eon. E. r. Cusick was chairman of
the reception committee. 'An out
door meeting was held practically
oenticai witn tne corvallis meet
ing, and sti another was held at
Salem. . . .
Some 23 cars comprised the offi
cial caravan as it sped from Port'
land toward Hood River the after
noon of Saturday, August 12. In the
procession that whirled down Sixth
street into the city last night were
only 12 cars. -
Pace-Maker Goes 140O Miles.
The pace-making car had covered
almost 1400 miles, though the orig
inal schedule listed the journey as
one lHOO miles long. The difference
was accounted for by numerous de
tours from the original itinerary
and various little side trips made
for one reason or another.
Several cars had developed such
mechanical troubles that they
dropped from the party soon after
it started.- Some two or three cars
failed to arrive from Salem with the
party because delayed by troubles
in the previous 12 hours. At least
one car had sped on to Portland
direct from southern Oregon, ar
riving Saturday. The official pho
tographer's car, manned by George
U. Sanderson, best known as
"Sandy," had left the caravan at
Salem and hurried to Portland to
get the final motion picture record
as the cars arrived here. This car
reached the city just before 6:30
o'clock and parked before the old
postoffice building to await the
coming of the caravan.
QUIT KNOCKING, IS ADVICE
Mayor Baker Boosts Exposition
During Stop in Salem.
SALEM, Or., Aug. 20. (Special.)
Quit knocking your neighbor and
yourself and join forces for-the up
building of a greater and more pros
perous Oregon, was the advice given
the people, of Marion county today
lay George L. Baker, mayor of Port
land, in his final address on the last
lap of the 1925 exposition caravan.
Upon the arrival of the caravan in
Salem it had covered approximately
1400 miles and had visited many of
the more important sections of the
state.
Prank Deckebach, member of the
1925 exposition committee, presided
at the meeting here and introduced
Dr. F. L. Utter, who, in the absence
of Mayor Halvorsen, delivered the
address of welcome. "
Or. Utter said the caravan had
proved a peacemaker as well as a
pacemaker, and that the visit of
the Portlanders to Salem would have
the effect of wiping out those dif
ferences which had been injected
into the exposition campaign. "Al-
tnougn saiem was the battleground
of the exposition factions in the
start, the progressive people of this
section hope to see the fair a suc
cess," said Dr. Utter. "Orego'nians
should boost for Oregon, and the
exposition is an Oregon product."
The caravan, on the way to Port
land, made a brief stop at the state
fair grounds.
AUTO DRIVER IS JAILED
Pedestrian Hit; Drunkenness and
Failure to Aid Charged.
TACOMA. Wash.', Aug. 20. (Spe
cial.) O. H. Bjordel, aged 3s, a
driver for a Tacoma laundry, landed
in the county jail at midnight last
night, charged with driving while
intoxicated, reckless driving and
failing to stop and render a,id to

feet into a gravel pit beside the
highway. Cameron landed on. his
head, knocking him unconscious
and bruising him badly, cutting deep
gashes about his head and neck.
Cameron was unconscious for sev
eral hours after the accident.
Bjordel did not slacken his speed
after striking his vlotim. In a car
fallowing directly behind him was

WASHINGTON, D. C, Aug. 20.
With the soldier bonus bill now the
unfinished business of the senate to
be taken up on Wednesday for dis
cussion, opposition to this long-
promised .legislation is renewing its
activity.
Today the chamber of commerce of
the United States, a persistent op
ponent of the bonus legislation, made
new attack against the pending
bill.
In a letter to business organisa
tions in every state in the union.
Julius H. Barnes, president of the
chamber, asked their support in op
posing the bill, which he says "will
increase the liabilities of the gov
ernment beyond any point reached
in the history of the country.
"The senate bonus bill, he says.
neither authorizes an appropria
tion, provides any method for rais
ing the revenue nor perfects any
means for sinking funds to meet the
eventful liabilities.
Inflation Declared Paced.
"Recognizing the danger to gov
ernment finances in a cash disburse
ment it .authorizes banks to advance
loans on government certificates the
result of which will be to sequester
cash in three-year frozen credits
which-in the aggregate will amount
to hundreds of millions of dollars.
Inflation of currency and credit must
inevitably follow. The bill contains
land settlement provisions which are
worthless in their application. As a
basis for computing a bonus the sen
ate finance committee took a civilian
wage compensation that as a whole
never existed during the period of
the war.
"Altlhough the national debt in
creased more than 2200 per cent as a
result of the war, the senate finance
committee proposes at this time to
add a maximum of 14.486,000,000 to
the financial burden of the govern
ment.
'Despite the fact that our esti
mated deficit for the current fiscal
year will approach $500,000,000, the
bonus will add, according to reliable
estimate, $77,000,000 in the year
1923, and $92,000,000 will, be added
to our annual expense of govern
ment in 1924; more than $73,000,000
n 1925 and $370,000,000 in 1926.
New Burden Foreseen. -
"It is proposed to load this new
financial burden upon the govern
ment largely through cirtificates
which will mature in 1942. In 1938
the fourth liberty loan of approxi
mately $6,300,000,000 matures; in
1942 the second liberty loan" of
$3,300,000,000 is due. By 1947 the
first liberty loan of about $2,000,-
000.000 must be taken up.
'This country at a time when it
beginning to respond to a rigid
application of commercial and gov
ernmental economies .and to show
igns of recovery from wlhat has
been one of the most intense finan
cial shocks in the history of the
world, will, under the bonus pro
posal of the senate finance com
mittee, be again subjected to a
nancial burden, which must neces
sarily continue if not enlarge a
system of national 'taxation which
has been largely responsible for
retarding the nation in its endeav
ors to regain its commercial supremacy.
Bonn Held Third One.
"The nation already has voted a
370,000.000 cash bonus to veterans,
so the present proposal is for a sec-
nd bonus, and for the veterans who
live in-the 15 states which have
voted $223,000,000 in bonuses the
present bill, if it passes, will constl-
ute a third cash bonus.
And this within four years of the
war. The veterans bureau for the
fiscal year ending June 30, 1922,
pent $481,000,000 for disabled veter-
. It expects to spend $513,693,000
uing the current fiscal year. It is
estimated that $1,000,000,000 a year
will be required within a few years
to care for disabled and incapaci
tated veterans."
Despite organizedvattacks against
passage of the bill is practically-
assured, although it is unknown
what President Harding will do with
it when it reaches him. Some of his
official associates say he will veto
in the form It is to pass. Its
hampions, however, are not worry
ing, because several polls of the
senate have indicated that it could
muster a two-thirds majority to pass
over a presidential veto. j
How long the senate debate will
un is doubtful. Leaders in charge
f the bill had thought that it could
