Possible Reason
for Resignation of
McAdoo
Director-General
la Suggested.
OHEGONTAV NEWS BUREAU. Wash
fog-ton. Not. SO. That a flood of com
plaints orer tb character of the train
aervica may hara had something- to do
with ths resignation of I.Mrector Gen
ral McAdoo. is the significant remark
of Representative W. G Hawley who
has Just returned from a brief trip.
Everybody waa complaining-, asserts
the Congressman, and If the grievances
reached the head of the railroad serr
lea they were enough to make a man
want to quit. In his opinion It will
take a long time to get the railroad
service back to ita former high stand
ard. for employees seem to have lost
tha pride they formerly took in giving
the best of service to the patrons of
their respective lines.
Evidently tha complaints were not
directed against deficiencies due to
wartime congestion, for the trains were
running on time.
Paaeeagera Suffer From Cold.
From Chicago to Denver, says the
Congressman, the passenger coaches
were not heated, and in that part of the
country at thia time of the year there is
snow on tha ground. Requests for heat
were met with the response from the
porter that he "hadn't had any orders to
turn on the heat. Ail were suffering
from thev low temperature and some
were taking cold and at a time when
the country Is just recovering from an
epidemic of Influenza.
comment among passengers was
equally aevere concerning the new
dinlnfc ear aervlce. The Director-Gen
eral has established a table d'hote
service Instead of the ria carte eerv
lea heretofore, maintained. The price
charged ror a dinner is reasonable,
aald Mr. Hawley. but It would take
three or four of the dinners served
to satisfy a man with an ordinary
appetite. There was universal com
plaint, not only of the meals served,
but of tha manner In which the service
waa given the waiters seeming ' to
have lost all interest In trying to
Please the patrons of the dining cars.
The slovenliness and indifference were
In marked contrast with the careful at
tention formerly given.
Baalaeaa Mrm Are Coatlalalaa'.
But It waa not concerning railroad
passenger service alone that the Oregon
Congressman heard complaints. Busi
ness men with whom he engaged In
conversation seemed each to have some
Individual grievance against the man
agement, of public affairs. A fellow
passenger waa the head of a large
motor truck concern. He told cf the
unsystematic manner In which tha ad
ministration had cancelled contracts for
Various parts of motor trucks.
Instead of arranging to have suffi
cient number of parts completed to
build a specified number of trucks,
some contracta were cancelled abruptly
while concerns making other parte
v. era allowed to continue, with the re
sult tnat there will be an overaupply
of some parts, and the Government will
have no use for them because there will
cot be a sufficient number of complete
sets of parts to make complete trucks,
lajaatlew Seeaaa Apparent.
Another passenger with a grievance
waa a manufacturer of woolen goods,
who had a contract to make woolen
cloth. After making a Contract to sup
ply the Government with cloth, he
made another contract to buy his raw
wool from the Government, the Gov
ernment having commandeered all the
wooL The next day after he made his
contract to buy wool, the Adminis
tration canceled his cloth contract, but
would not release him from his wool
contract. Unless he can persuade the
Administration to change its mind he
will have to buy 150.00ft worth of wool
for which ha will have no apparent
use.
After listening to these and ether
tales of woe. Mr. Hawley can under
stand why the Administration got
bumped at the November election and
why some members of the Cabinet
want to get back into private life.

SPEAK VOLUMES
Feldenheimer Jewelry represents the spirit of
Christmas better than any other selection. For half
a century it has represented the highest art of the
craftsmen and artisans. It expresses the romance
and sentiment that no other gift possesses.
This year we have chosen a superfine collection
of distinctive gifts for men and women soldiers and
civilians. The prestige, dignity and character of
such gifts always reflect the good taste of the giver
and more than delight the recipient.
Our success is based upon giving generous val
ues, utmost quality and conscientious service at
prices that are as low as is consistent with quality.

The Turks, were rarely seen on the
