HUGHES SAYS 8-HOUR -LAW
IS REALLY NOT
Candidate Lets Loose Heavy
Battery on Bill, Saying It
Merely Increases Wages.
By Perry Arnold.
Newark, N. J., Oct. 9. (IT. P.)
Candidate Hughes loosed his heaviest
battery of assault on the Adamson
eight-hour law here today in tho
speech inaugurating his third cam
paign trip. Without using names, he
Ironically paraphrased "do not run
away and dream that yon will have
.chave courage in a fixture day," refer
ring to what he said was the Demo
cratic administration's capitulation
and "humiliating surrender to duress."
It was the Republican nominee's
most careful analysis of the Demo
cratic settlement of the railroad strike,
which in previous speeches he has
dubbed the 'paramount" Issue of the
campaign. He went into great detail
to declare that the bill was not an
eight-hour measure, but "a mere In
crease of wages by fixing a different
basis for calculating wages." He read
letters dated as far back as July 29,
1916, to controvert the Democratic
claim that the crisis in the railroad
situation was a "sudden" one, the let
ters being from the Chamber of Com
merce 'of the United States, urging an
Inquiry. He quoted Senator-Underwood
as admitting on the senate floor
that "the question is a question of
wage; that they are not contending for
an eight-hour day;, that a man shall
work only eight hours; they do not
want that."
, . ."Service over eight hours,"' Hughes'
added, not prohibited. ,It.ls not.
penalised, on the contrary, such work
Is evidently contemplated. The rail
road runs must be completed In any
case and under this bill all service
over eight hours Is simply to be paid
for pro rata. It is therefore wholly
misleading to refer to this bill as an
ight-neur bill. What is the purpose
'of this attempt to make the public be
lieve that this bill fixes an eight-hour
work day? Manifestly, in order to en
deavor to Justify this extraordinary
action of the administration in its ab
ject and humiliating surrender of prin
ciple in demanding and securing this
legislation without any proper - ln
ruiry. aa the price of peace." - .

"Portland's fire loss will be a mil

said Mayor Albee before the members'
council of the Chamber of Commerce
this afternoon.
Governor Withycombe said, "Fire
pieventlon is one of the most important
economic movements ever . started in
Oregon." lie asked the business men
t" vote against two measures on the
November ballot. "No saneVian would
vote for it," said he of the peoples'
land and loan law.
"Vote .flown the 6 per cent tax limi
tation measure," he continued. I be
lleve "In more taxes. X believe In Ore

Have Monetary Interest.
"The 6 per cent tax limitation meas
ure is promoted by those who have
only a monetary Interest In Oregon,
such as non-resident owners of timber
land. Their promoter Is paid a sal
ary. Its passage will stop such de
velopment work as the building of
good roads. There is grave danger
that It will pass."
"Be your own Inspector," said Har
vey Wells, state insurance commis
sioner, who closed with a plea for a
state fire marshal.
"Up at the l,iticolii high school this
morning, I said to the students, 'Don't
let your children play with matches,'
and when they laughed I realized I
had made a mistake in a good cause,"
said Fire Chief Dowell.
Prune Koofs Menace.
"Portland is subject to fire hazard
as is almost no other city of the
country. " suld Fire Marshal Jay Stev
ens. "Frame roofs are a source of
danger and while we cannot argue
that they be done away with, because
lumbering is our most important in
dustry, the roofs can and should be
painted with fire proof paint."
L,. R. Alderman, superintendent of
schools, and Ben H. Williams, also
were Introduced by K. I Thompson,
president of the members' council.

brother of Oregon's ex-Governor, has
on exhibition at his market a 2-year-old
shark measuring 38 Inches, which

Calls Hughes "Wall

IT. T. World in Editorial Says Argu

8-Hour Law Are Wall Street's Words.
New York, Oct. 9. The New York
World reiterates that Charles E.
Hughes is the candidate of the organ
ized money interests centered in Wall
street. In an editorial, headed "The
Wall Street Candidate," the WTorId
says: "
"Does anybody doubt that Mr.
Hughes is the Wall street candidate?
Not only Is Mr. Hughes Wall street's
candidate, but he Is conducting a Wall
street campaign. Most of his speeches
sound as if they had been written in
the office of the Wall Street Journal
or the New York Sun.
"What he saya about the banking
and currency law, what he says about
Mexico, what he says about the eight
hour law, 4s merely an echo of what
this interest or that interest in Wall
street has been saying. In his speeches
about the Adamson bill Mr. Hughes
adopts almost the exact language used
by the railroad press agents during
the controversy in Washington. There
Is not an Issue of the campaign in
which Mr. Hughes and the Republican
narty are not on the Wall street side.
"If Mr. Hughes Is not the WaU
street candidate, then Mark Hanna was
a Populist."

Demanded and Thorough
Investigations Made.
Iorig Branch, N. J., Oct. 9. (U. P.)
German Ambassador von Bernstorff
assured President Wilson this after
noon that Germany Intends to live up
to her submarine promises. The am
bassador said the. U-53 letter was un
important, lie did not discuss peace.
Long Branch, N. J., Oct. 9. (U. P.)
"The German government will be
held to the complete fulfillment of Its
promises to the government of the
United States," President .Wilson said
today in a statement to the American
people, upon the German submarine at
tacks off New England.
The statement follows:
"The government will, of course,
first inform itself as to all the facts,
that there may be no mistake or doubt
no far. as they are concerned, and the
Country may rest assured that the
German government will be held to
the complete fulfillment of Its prom
ises to the government of the United
States.
"I have no right to question their
willingness to fulfill them
(Signed) "WOODROW WILSON."
When he saw Ambassador Bern
storff, President Wilson planned to
take up in full the latest developments
in the submarlna issue between the two
governments.
In official circles the situation was
regarded as fraught with ominous pos
sibilities, but pending definite word
from Bernstorff and from official gov
erment reports no conclusions were
ventured by officials here.
Ambassador Bernstorff saw the pres
ident about 1 o'clock, arriving here ear
lier than was expected. He succeeded
in avoiding the newspapermen.
