UNION BULLETINS OUT Injunction Declared to Permit Work of Reorganization Of ficials to Continue. CHICAGO, Oct. A. Eighty-three railroads of the United States, ope rating approximately 65,000 miles of line and employing between 126,000 and 130,000 members of the federat ed shop crafts, have settled the shop crafts strike with their system fed erations, according to a special bul letin sent today to all members of the organization over the signature of B. M. Jewell, president. The latest addition to the settling roaas were the Fort Smith & Western, the Geor sria. Florida & Alabama, and the Chicae-o Great Western. Replying to numerous requests for an interpretation of the Balti more plan, upon which the strike leaders alleged the settlements have been made, the circular stated that three reasons actuated the execu tives in accepting this agreement oasis. Executive Are Split. It Elves, first a split In the Asso elation of Railway Executives one group agreeable to a settlement ana the other bent on destroying these organizations; second, willingness of the liberal group to negotiate na tional agreements and lay down a basis for settlements on other roads; third, that no Justification could be found for keeping 125,000 men on strike who could return to work and assist in financing those who remained idle. Justification for the action of the policy committee, the circular de clared, is seen in the fact that 31 other carriers, in addition to the original 52, have agreed to the Balt imore plan. A second special circular to the membership contained in detail an Interpretation of Federal Judge Wilkerson's decision on the injunc tion bill filed against the organiza tion by Attorney-Genaral Daugh erty. , It was supplied by Donald R. Rich berg, attorney for tho shop crafts. Union Risrhts Outlined. "We cannot interpret the tempo rary injunction, drastic as its terms are' said Mr. Rchberg's opinion in part, "as in any way restraining or preventing the officers and other epresentatives of the shop crafts organizations from doing all in their power to ma'ntain an orderly dis cipline and conduct of the lawful work of the organizations, to con tinue to call for and to expect to re ceive the loyal support of each and every member and to continue to work in harmony and with a com mon lawful purpose to advance the common interests of the organized shop craft employes." Mr. Jewell, accompanied by Mr. Richberg, arrived today from Wash ington, where they conferred with Attorney-General JJaugherty regard ing the submission of Judge Wil kerson's decision to a higher court for review. Attorney-General j Daugherty assured them of his co operation insofar as it is possible for him to act. GOMPERS ISSUES WAKXIXG Columbia river water above the mouth of Snake river. "The Columbia, basin project can be Irrigated by gravity from the Clark fork at Albany falls or by pumping from the Columbia river at Grand coulee. "The Columbia basin gravity proj ect can be adequately supplied by the aid of storage in Pend Oreille and Priest lakes in Idaho, condi tioned upon maintenance of natural flow from Flathead lake when needed. The Columbia basin propect can be supplied with practically no shortage without the aid of storage with a dam at Grand coulee about 156 feet high above low water. Data Held Incomplete. "Information upon which to base the final decision between a gravity and a pumped supply for Columbia basin irrigation project la not com plete and should be completed. Any decision should take Into account the effect upon potential power. "Pending such decision no per manent rights of storage should be granted in Pend Oreille and Priest lakes. "If, ultimately, the decision is in favor of a Columbia basin gravity project, storage rights in Pend Oreille and Priest lakes should be granted to such projects but should be limited to storage for inflow in excess of 7000 second feet. "If ultimately the decision is in favor of a Columbia basin pumping project, storage rights Pend Oreille and Priest lakes should be granted to the joint interests of power on the lower Clark fork and the Columbia river, subject to limita tions heretofore mentioned. Impartial Control Urged, "Storage rights in Flathead lake , should be granted to Flathead pow- i er interests subject to fullest devel opment found practicable after j complete investigation. Prior to i such development rights may be ad vantageously granted to power in terests on Clark fork subject to con ditions protecting ultimate control for Flathead power and natural flow release when need for the pro tection of the Columbia basin project if built on the gravity .plan, "Storage control at Flathead, Pend Oreille and Priest lakes should be under impartial supervision. "A permit to develop power at the Grand Coulee site or at any point of the Columbia river as far down stream as the Foster creek site should not be granted to power interests until It is known that such site will be needed by the Columbia basin project. In case the Columbia basin project shall require a power site for Irrigation and power on this stretch of the Columbia river a. per mit should be granted to it after the best location and height of dam shall have been determined from the project and the public interest." Mr. Chases analysis of the ma jority conclusions is much longer than the conclusions themselves.

La bor is partisan to a principle, rath er than to a party, according to President Gompers of the American Federation of Labor, in a formal statement tonight, predicting that no "important reactionary legisla tion" would be enacted by the nert congress, because of labor's activ ities. The federation head asserted that "labor has stunned the reac tionists in congTess effectively" by its opposition to "frozen reaction," and announced it would continue to take that stand through the present campaign and election. Mr. Gompers warned "reactionary politicians" that labor "has a mili tant, progressive organization in every state in the union" and was working to "rescue congress from "Labor opposed New in Indiana, McCumber in North Dakota and Newberry in Michigan," the state ment continued. "Labor is for Rob ert M. La Follette, it is for Hiram Johnson, it is for Smith in New York and Pinchot in Pennsylvania. It Is for Frazier in North Dakota and for Brookhart in Iowa.

A report sub mitted to and adopted today by the American Electric Railway associa tion, which is holding its annual meeting here, declared that the one man street car is a fixed success in the country's industry. The report was submitted by the committee on one-man car operation, of which Clinton E. Morgan, general manage of the Brooklyn City Railroad com pany, is chairman.. In Brooklyn, alone, Mr. Morgan said, more than 400 one-man cars will be in opera tion by December 1. The report stated that in the en tire country 7000 cars were being operated by one man. Of" this num ber 30 per cent are of the double trtck variety, the majority being originally designed to be operated as two-man cars. They were con verted to permit their operation by one man. Many of the larger cities are operating one-man cars, accord ing to the report, and there will be a marked increase in the number of cars thus operated next year. The report pointed out that the wider adoption of these cars makes a revision of the standard code of city operating rules necessary. The committee submitted certain amend ments to the standard code as adopt ed in 1909. Walter Warwick, . assistant to the director of the budget, who spoke today, said that electric railways need $250,000,000 each year for ex tensions and betterments. He de clared that the motor bus would not supplant the electric railway as a means of transportation, and there fore the need of extension of sub urban lines to keep pace with the development of the country was im perative. Mr. Warwjck said that busses were efficient in light traffic; but they can never serve the masses. This has been proved in England, he said, where bus service has reached the highest stage of development. No large American city could handle Its traffic in busses alone. Question of Allied Occupation of River Bank Still Issue. CONSTANTINOPLE, Oot. 4. (By the Associated; Press.) The Mu dania conference, it is understood this evening, will probably reach an agreement on all points of the Turkish proposals upon which M. Franklin Bouillon s-ecured Kemal Pasha's pledge to suspend military movements during the negotiations, with the exception of the provision reia'ting to the occupation of the western line of the Maritza river by allied troops. Argument on this point is still proceeding. Tne allies have agreed to turn over Thrace to the Turkish army in 30 days. News received this evening that M. Franklin Bouillon, the French envoy, and Hamid Bey, nationalist representative, had decided 'to re turn to Constantinople from Mu dania immediately strengthened the hope of the successful issue of the conference. The delegates agreed this after noon to establish a definite line of demarkation between the British and Kemalist forces in the Chan a k zone. The space between the opposing forces will be sufficient to place them out of rifle shot, thus lessen ing" the danger of immediate con flict. The Turkish conditions referred to in connection with the probable agreement in the Mudania confer ence are a-s follows: 1. Formal guarantees concerning he evacuation of Thrace. 2. Establishment of allied garri sons in the larger towns of Thrace. 3. Occupation of Thrace Dy Turk ish nationalist gendarmerie. 4. Trans-rer of the civil adminis tration of Thrace to Kemalist func tionaries. 6. Evacuation of Thrace within eight days by the Turkish army. 6. Occupation of the westerly line of the MaTitza river by allied troops The joint allied note to Mustapha Kemal Pasha, the Turkish national ist leader, was dispatched Septem ber 23 from Paris, signed by Pre mier Poincare for France, Lord Curzon for Great Britain and Count Sforza for Italy. In it the three allied governments invited the An gora assembly to a conference at Venice or elsewhere with plenipo tentiaries of Great Britain, France, Italy, Japan, Roumania, Jugo-Slavia and Greece with the object of nego tiating and consolidating a final treaty of peace between Turkey, Greece and the allied powers. Regarding the terms of such a treaty the note stated: The three governments take this opportunity to declare that they view with favor the desire of Tur key to recover Thrace as far as the river Maritza and including Adrian The note promised the willing support of the three governments to the drawing of a frontier line on this basis on condition that the An gora government did not send ar mies into the neutral zones during the peace negotiations. The note declared it would be un derstood that steps would be taken in drawing such a treaty to safe guard the interests of Turkey and her neighbors by demilitarizing "certain zones to be fixed, to obtain peaceful and orderly re-establishment of Turkey's authority and finally to assume effectively under me league or nations maintenance of the freedom of the Dardanelles, the sea of Marmora and the Bos- phorus, as well as protection of re ligious and racial minorities." The allied governments promised to support the admission of Turkey to the league of nations, to with draw their troops from Constanti nople, as soon as the peace treaty became effective, and to use their Influence to obtain the retirement of the Greek forces to a line fixed by the allied generals in agreement. with the Greek and Turkish mili tary authorities. AMERICAN HELP IS WANTED Yenizelos Calls on Harvey and Asks Intervention. LONDON, Oct. 4. (By the Asso ciated Press.) Former Premier Venizelos of Greece called on Am bassador Harvey today and asked the ambassador to send a message to Washington requesting the United States government to inter cede with the allies and request them to occupy Thrace pending the final disposition of that territory. The ambassador, in his weekly conference with the journalists, said that the former Greek premier had told him that he had Bent to the Greek revolutionary government an ultimatum containing three points. These are: First The allies must occupy Thrace. Second The revolutionary Greek government must recognize that eastern Thrace must eventually be returned to Turkey. Third Greek troops must evacu ate Thrace immediately. Ambassador Harvey then added that ex-Premier Venizelos stated that if these terms were accepted he would represent Greece abroad and also undertake - to get allied support.

NEW BRIDGE IS ASSURED Roseburg and Douglas County to Co-operate in Building. ROSEBURG. Or.', Oct. 4. (Special.) An agreement was reached today whereby the city of Roseburg and Douglas county will co-operate on a 50-50 basis in construction of a bridge to replace the old Alexander structure which collapsed three years ago. Since the old bridge was wrecked there have been legal tangles and neighborhood quarrels and much bitter feeling has resulted from various projects to relieve the people isolated by the destruction of the old bridge. The rebuilding of the bridge was delayed by the refusal of the rail road company to grant a crossing. It is now proposed to build either an overhead or an undergrade crossing if some other suitable plan is not worked out. All Standard Furnace Lines.

Jesse Winburn's so-called non-partisan banquet to the pre.33 of Ore gon in honor of Waltwr'M. iPerc. democratic candidate for governor, was given at the Albany ho'ej to nigrht with 101 persons piesnt. The fact that several republicans who had bolted the ranks of their party were present as supporters of the Union-county man for the next executive of Oregon appeared to be one of the reasons for calling: the affair non-partisan. Lack of politi cal issues in the state at the present time was pointed out as another. Bert Moses, acting as toast master, introduced Mr. Winbum, chief donor to the Pierce Tarapaign fund, by reading- an editorial tfrom the Cor vallis Gazette-Tim-es expressing ad miration for the "Winburn style of community spirit." Mr. Winburn remarked that he was no curiosity and denied all re ports and statements that he was a former Tammany boss from New Tork. To back up his denial he pointed to his activity in campaigns in that city when he supported staunch republicans and helped elect them. He denied ever working with the Tammany organization and .said that to his knowledge he never voted the Tammany ticket in the 30 years he resided in New York city.

PUBLIC SCHOOL REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD VOTE 314 x YES The purpose of the compulsory public school attendance bill is to insure the instruction of all Oregon children of grammar school age in a common language, a common history and common ideals, to the end that American unity shall be promoted, American ideals safeguarded and American institutions perpetuated. This bill is proposed because its supporters believe that only by universal education of our children on standard and uniform lines can these things be achieved. This bill proposes no religious restriction. It contemplates no limitation of the right of the parent to teach religion to his child in his own way and according to his own belief. It raises no issue of religious difference. This bill is purely a measure to insure that all children by attend ing the public schools shall be taught alike during' their grammar school years, so that their outlook may grow to be a unified outlook for the common weal and for their country and its institutions. To make an all-American nation we must have ail-American instruction of our children along recognized standard lines. Ignor ance of American ideals and institutions and language is the greatest menace to them, because those who do not understand them prop erly do not support them. The 1920 census disclosed that in the United States there were 4,931,905 illiterates. Too many! Illiterates must be educated if they are to be made into Americans and they must be educated along common lines of Americanism. In Oregon let the voter do his part toward this end by voting for the compulsory public school attendance bill. VOTE 314- YES P. S.
