THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, P ORTLANDf MONDAY, - JUNE 10. 1918. V ' 3 4 , NO TELEGRAPHERS' STRIKE, PREDICTION White House Authority for State ment There Will Be No Walkout of n. Keyme A 'V Whlnton, Jun 10. (I. N? 8.) Thr will b no telegraphers' strike. This statement was emphatically made In circles close to the White House to day. Officials responsible for the statement refused to elaborate It in any way. They spoke with the, greatest confidence, however, and it was supposed the presi dent has determined upon a plan which he Is sure will brine the telegraph com panies and their employes together. The details were not available, but it is be lieved that the presidents of the com panies and the president of the teleg raphers' union. 8.. J. Konenkamp, will b. called to a joint conference with the president at the White House in the very, near future. It U probable that President Wilson wilt request Former President Taft and Prank P. Walsh, Joint chairmen of the national war labor board, to confer with htm at the White House, that the presi dent may learn the hintory of the case in detail. Labor officials believe the president will then Issue a statement ad dressed to President Carlton of the Western Union, giving him notice that the Jurisdiction of the war labor board must be recognised within a certain num ber of days. This would be a rebuke similar to the one made by the presi dent recently when he wrote to Wil liam Rutcheson, president of the Car penters' and Joiners' union, during the strike of ship carpenters. The board leaves today for Chicago, where several hearings will be held on minor labor disputes in the Middle West Hearing of the telegraphers' case will also be continued when the Postal Telegraph company will be called in Joint session v with the employes. The board announced the appointment of Raymond E. Swing of Chicago as an examiner. Mr. Swing was formerly war correspondent for the Chicago Dally News and has spent three years on the European battle fronts. He will make an extensive report of the Birmingham Coal and Ironworkers' controversy, now before the board. Marine Recruiting Has Lively Opening Hearty Score ef Applieatloas Received oa First Day of Marine Week; Eda eatlonat Campaign to Be Benefit. "Enlistment started out lively this morning," said Lieutenant H. E. Potter of the local marine corps recruiting sta tion In the Panama building. '"We have had nearly a score of applications so far." Lieutenant Potter expects; the special week of marine recrurting will not only bring a large number of enlistments, but will be of great educational value to the public in jceneral whose notions of the marines are hasy. The film, "The Unbeliever," the numerous talks to be given throughout the week by Corporal Fred K. Holllster and the success which the marines are now meeting I rw France, will all have their part in swelling the number of recruits, Lieutenant Potter believes. Two-Day Term in Jail Given Speeder S.

FARMERS TO SET 1918 WAGE SCALE Meeting to Be Held in Pendleton Today to Decide on Uni form HarVest Scale. v x CITY'S WAR GARDEN WATCHED Crop, if Project Is Successful, Will Pay Italians for Plot Destroyed. City fathers are keeping a watchful eye on the "war potato patch" In Mount Tabor park. It Is a substitute garden for the one destroyed by park workmen in clearing the ground for the Marquam gulch recreation place. The garden was owned by Italians. The city administra tion planted the substitute garden 'to make amends. If the f Mount Tabor garden is a success the debt the city owes will be paid in potatoes. If it fails the city will reimburse the Ital ians with cash. Owing to the lateness of the season and the prolonged dry spell the city Is- taking a "gambler's chance" on getting off without a cash payment.

Pendleton, Or., June 10. One of the most Important matters for the consid eration of the farmers of the Northwest is to be acted upon at a meeting to be held in Pendleton today. Representa tives of all the counties of Fastern Ore gon and Eastern Washington are ex pected to meet' here to determine the wage scale to be adopted for the har vest season. The adoption of a uniform wage scale for farm labor during the haying and harvest season is looked on as a neces sity to i keep the workers satisfied and to prevent too much shifting of labor. The scarcity of farm help has been her alded far and wide and in many cases over estimated. The Idea has ' spread among farm laborers that farmers will accept them at their own terms, but present Indications are that there will be ample help to take care of the crop. The farmers will endeavor to agree upon a scale of wages that will be fair to labor and satisfactory to both the laborer and employer. What this will be, of course, is Impossible to say, but as a key for what may be adopted the ecal adopted by the Walla Walla coun ty council has been cited common la bor, haying S3 a day, and for harvest $4: It is said in some communities higher wages have been paid for haying. County Agricultural Agent M. 3. Shrock arranged the details of the con ference. Camp Lewis Needs Carrier Pigeons Camp Lewis, Wash., June 10. (I. X. S.)
