DEPOT PROMISED SOON -' State Commission to Insist That Road Build in Oregon City. OREGON CITY, Or., July 22. (Special.) That the public service commission will demand immediate action on the part of the Southern .faciric company in regard to the new depot to be 'constructed in this city was the statement made by Attorney Schuebel on his return to the city last night from Salem, where he had been conferring with the commission. According to Mr. Schuebel, action In regard to the construction of the new depot has been held up because of the uncertainty of the route to be chosen for the Pacific highway through the city. The Southern Pacific company had drawn two plans for the new -structure, one to be used if the i..,.-o.., cou iuuio wore cnosei ana would run along Railroad - avenue and because' of the uncertainty of which .plan to use nearly one year has elapsed since the order- for the construction of the new depot was issued.

Gas at 97 cents a thousand cubic feet the first drop below the dollar mark since pre-war days will be the price to consumers in San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley and Alameda be ginning with the meter reading? August 15. Today the railroad commission ordered reductions In rates ranging from 5 to 7 cents a thousand cubic feet on the system of the Pacific Gas and Electric company serving central and northern California.

This is the second reduction in the gas rates of the Pacific com pany within a year, the total cut ranging from 10 to 15 cents. Wet Petitions Circulated. RAYMOND, Wash., July 22. (Spe cial.) W. H.

IABQR CROOKS HIT HARD HEADS OF BUILDING CRAFTS ASSAIL CHICAGO CHIEFS. Acceptance of Land is Award Is Recommended and Reforming of Central Trades Body. (By Chicago Tribune Leased Wire.) CHICAGO, July 22. Crooked labor union chiefs who induce or order their followers to remain idle and force other men to remain idle after repudiating an agreement received a tremendous wallop today when the international presidents of various building crafts, assembled here from the United States and Canada, sub mitted a report to the building trades department of the American Federation of Labor recommending a complete reorganization of the Chicago building trades council on a basis of complete recognition of the Landis award. This f lading is the result of sev eral days' investigation "by the in ternational presidents, during which they went into all phases of the sit uation. Their decision means thi obliteration of "Frenchy" Mader, president of the Chicago building trades council and now under trial for murder. It means the waning power of "Big Tim." Murphy, hith erto the czar of the Chicago labor unions. "Big Tim" also Ta a defend ant In a murder trial. It spells the end of "Con" Shea as a ruler in Chicago. Shea is being tried with "Big Tim" and Mader for murder. The American Federation of La bor places the principle of arbitra tion in adjusting labor's differences above jurisdictional disputes and the sporadic strikes called by ambitious individuals. A copy of the decision was sent to the Chicago building trades council. Should it refuse to abide by the finding a course con sidered most unlikely its charter will be revoked, ,the organization outlawed and a new council formed among the unions now working un der the Landis award.

With a non-partisan league issue drawing especial atention to the contest for the democratic nomina tion for governor, voters of Okla homa are preparing to register their preference for all state offices on August 1 in a statewide primary. A larger number of candidates are In the field than ever before in the history of the state. " - The non-partisan - issue arises from charges made against J. C. Walton, mayor of Oklahoma City and a candidate for the democratic nomination, who has been indorsed by the farmer-labor reconstruction league, an organization formed at a joint convention of the. Oklahoma state federation of labor and two groups of farmers. Walton's oppo nents assert that the reconstruction league is the non-partisan league under a new name, and that Walton Is attempting to use the prestige of the democratic party to sweep the reconstructionlsts into power. The issue has caused the campaign to take gn unusual importance. Plumb Plan In Platform. Walton is opposed by Thomas H. Owen, ex-Justice of the state su preme court, and R. H. Wilson, state superintendent of public instruction. All are making vigorous campaigns. ,The platform adopted by the re construction league upon which Walton agreed to run included the following planks: Indorsement of the Plumb plan for control of the railroads, approval of public owner ship "of -various utilities and the printing of all school textbooks by the state, opposition to a reduction In the wages of railroad employes, condemnation of compulsory mili tary training, and a demand that war profiteers be compelled to pay the nation's military debt Wilson and Owen have advanced no outstanding principle in their platforms. Each, however, has rec ommended changes in the state banking .system designed to strengtnen the guaranty feature and safeguard member banks. Next to the Wilson-Walton-Owen race, general interest in the prU mary centers in the congressional contests, in which all present repre sentatives are candidates for re nomination.: Observers are watch ing, especially the second and eighth districts. . Women Oppose Hiu Robertson. These - are represented respec tively by Miss Alice M. Robertson of Muskogee and Manuel Herrick' of Perry. Both Miss Robertson and Herrick were elected in the repub lican landslide of 1920, and observ ers agree that stubborn opposition faces .them in their efforts for re r.omination. ' This is, perhaps, the first time in the history of the second district that a republican primary has at tracted more than' nominal interest. Until 1920 the district was regarded by the democrats as one of their strongholds. It is said that Miss Robertson is, perhaps, the only can didate in the primary who is oBliged to take into consideration the wom en's vote. Considerable opposition ia .said to have been - voiced by women of her district to her atti tude oil various mattars of legisla tion affecting women and children. Herrick. was nominated without opposition in 1920. The lack of an opponent resulted from confusion incident ,to a double election in the district, one to fill the unexpired term of Dick T. Morgan, deceased, and the other for the regular term. Several condidates who filed for the unexpired term with the intention of serving through the regular term also failed to make a double filing until after the time limit had ex pired. , . 1 One Republican Unopposed. "L. M. Gensman of Lawton, repre sentative from the sixth district. Is unopposed for the republican re nomination. Contests will occur in all other districts. : Observers are giving little atten tion to the nomination for governor on the republican ticket, it being the opinion of politicians that John Fields, editor of a farm paper pub lished here, will get the nomination over George Healy, a retired farmer and stockman of Beaver. Neither Is making a campaign. "v , Including candidates for the state legislature and for district and su perior Judgeships, nearly 1000 names will be placed on the state ballots of the two major parties. One hun dred and sixty will be on the two tickets nominated by statewide vote. In addition, all county officers will be named. Wage for Prune PJckers Fixed. SALEM, Or.. July 22. (Special.)
