All rail road official now in Washington were asked by Director General Hiaes to meet with him at noon to day for a conference on tlio high cost of living. - Besides the demands of the engi neers and railway trainmen who al ready have made demands for In creased wages to meet high living costs, It was expected that the heads of the other two brotherhoods and the organization of shopmen and clerks would attend , t h e meeting. Thus a majority ot the 2,000,000 railroad workers would be represented. Mr. Hlnes expected to explain his plan to have congress create a com mission to go into all phases of rail road wages. Thisao proposed to congress' last week by the president. As chairman of the committee ap pointed by Attorney General Palm er's conference on means to reduce the cost of living, Mr. Hines Is In close touch with plans under consld eratlon to bring about a normal lev el of prices and relieve the distress ot the average citizen. It was said today that the director general de voted the whole of Sunday to con sidering the cost ot living problem, going over many suggestions made by Assistant Secretary Lefftnswell and Commissioner Colvcr, the other two members of the committee. A renort to the conference will be made tomorrow at the second meet lug of the cabinet members and oth er officials called together by Mr Palmer and recommendations are ex pected to be transmitted soon to President Wilson,. WASHINGTON, Aug. 4. Discus sion of the high cost of living was resumed In the senate today. Chair man Gronna of the agriculture com mittee announced that he had called a commltttee meeting tomorrow to discuss measures to reduce the cost ot living. He said he had no remedy to offer, but declared that increase ot wages and decrease of working hours was not a panacea nor would government ownership or control of utllltHes solve the problem. Relation of the price of wheat to the cost of living was debated by several senators. Mr. Gronna denied that the government's wheat pricV guarantee causes undue prices for bread. He was supported by Sen ators Kellogg and Nelson, republi cr.ns of Minnesota, who Bald wheat was being sold far above the govern jueiit's guarantee at the principal terminals. The three senators predicted that this year's crop would be lower than government estimates. Entnitnlncd at Dinner. Mr. and Mrs. John H. Dill and their guest, Miss Hazel Sharpnack, were dinner guests of Mr. and Mrs. A. Sondhelmer at the Hotel Austin last Saturday evening. I 'ft. M Notice to Subscribers Under authority of the Postmaster General, on account of re cent increases hi wages to employees, totaling for the State oi' Oregon upwards of $225,000.00, certain changes in exchange rate have lieen approved and made effective July 29, 1919, for the State of Oregon. ' ' 1 The changes in rates apply particularly to residence service, changes having been made in the principal business rates Way 1, 1919. N All new business taken on" and after July 29th, will be at the new rates and bills to present subscribers for the month of August will be rendered at the new rates. The increased rates will yield an annual revenue upwards iof $250,000.00, but as the increase in wages is upwards of $225, 000.00 the net return to the company uuder the rates now made ef fective is approximately 2 1-2 per cent on the valuation of its prop erty at $13,404,000.00, as found by the Public Service Commission. The new schedule of rates is identical with, the one approved by the Postmaster General for the State of Washington, which has been in effect since March 1, 1919. The rates are the same in both states for exchanges that are comparable. We believe that no proof as to the advanced cost of living and the general high cost prevailing for labor and materials, is necessary and that the telephone using public will accept this in crease in rates in the same spirit of fairness and consideration as it has the advances in almost every other necessity in these un usual times. Ashland Woman Had Pleasant Air Trip Mrs. J,. P. Wolf was the Becond Ashland woman to take a ride in the Medford airplane during its two days of flighty which were made from the landing field across Bear creek Friday and Saturday. Mrs. Wolf had requested to be the' first to make the flight when the plane came to Ashland, but one or two others beat her to It. She was the pioneer woman to fly from the Ash land landing field, however, and was more than pleased with her expert ence. "On leaving the ground the sensa tlon was simply like running oft from a rough road onto a smooth pavement," Mrs. Wolf said In'pelat Ing her sensations after her flight One Is not aware of the movement of the plane, and there Is no un pleasant feeling oflielng up at an unusual height. The only uncom fortable moment I had In the plane on turning around, and that wan really no worss than that experlene- ed In turning on a sharp curve in an auto. "But the view of this valley from an airplane is the most beautiful and wonderful I ever saw. Wa went down the valley over the low foot-. hills and woods back of Phoenl then over the town and back across tlio Suncrast orchards. This section from that height Is the most beau tiful sight on earth. The highway runs like a white ribbon thru the green fields and orchards. The Chau tauqua building, the Hotel Austin and the greenhouses stood out as dlstlncly as If at close hand, and the distinctly as If at close hand, and tlio of IndescrllAble loveliness. I cer tainly enjoyed flying, and hope ev ery one in Ashland may hare this same pleasure some time."
