MPLOYER
Chicago. Aug. 13. (I. N. 8.) The
:" Wealthy every ye&r are "setting
j enormous sums of money tr.om the
' labors of others without .anything
'Itlk commensurate returns to socl
ty for it."
In addition, the employers exer-
- cis a "power over the lives of the
employes that is intolerable in mod--?Wn
society."
iT'A "The grradual assuming of control of
their lives by . the workers is and must
-f be only a $uestion of time." ' ,
These are not theories advanced by
a soap box orator. On" the contrary,
ether are the views of Mrs. Frances R.
Lille, whose stoclt in the Crane com
ipany, a steel concern, nets her thou
sands of dollars a year, but whose ln-
come since July 10 has been materially
"f reduced by a strike of 6500 workers
" at the Crane company, who are de
" i mandlng ware Increases of 50 per
cent.
g Mrs. Lille expressed the views in a
I letter to John J. Kikulski, union or-
ganiser, who Is directing the strfke at
Ithe plant.
r Mrs. Lille's brother, Richard T. Crane
Jr.. present head of the Crane company,
does not share his sister's views and
2 has offered the men wage increases of
"16 pendent in an effort to settle the
fi. strike. The workers -today refused this
offer, following receipt of the letter from
- S Mrs. Lille.
, t In concluding hef letter to the work
ers, Mrs. Lille said:
"There Is no good act nor generous
deed of any member of the Crane fatn-
ily that at all will or should invalidate
this conviction. As for those of the
. " family who have done little but injure
r themselves and others by the use of this
unearned money, the sooner, for the
good of society, their money is taken
away from them the better."

TRAIN IS BECOBATEB.
The special train bearing Oregon's
guests arrived at 9 :45 o'clock this morn-
ing from Southern Oregon. The party
5 was moved immediately to the Great
Northern' train, which was beautifully
decorated with flowers. After less than
half an hour spent 1n transferring the
' party the Great Northern special moved
out of the' station for Tacoma, where
they will be entertained until Thursday
morning. '.-',
During the brief Interval the Visitors
j remained in Portland, various members
4 of the party expressed their views of the
southern trip.
"Wonderful" was the
RESORT
- watchword of the men,, "charming" the
, J word of the women.
"I want them to arrest me white I
C am yet in Portland, so I can stay in
your magnificent state a little longer,"
exclaimed Mrs. C. L. Woodring, owner
of a" morning and evening paper at
Peru, Indiana, and special representa
tlve of the Women's Press club of In-
diana. "While I was In Southern Ore
v gon I barely slept a wink, because I Just
couldn't close my eyes on Oregon's
S scenic wonders."
c Willard EL, Carpenter, publicity man
it ager for the party from Lincoln, Neb.,
expressed his appreciation for the en
? tertainment of the editors, saying: "We
1 exclaimed over the wonders of the Ca
2? nadian Rockies with their quick moving
e streams, but Crater Lake struck deeper
into the hearts of the members of our
party. I believe there Is only one place
Y comparable to Crater Lake and that is
the Columbia river highway, but they
differ so that this comparison is hardly
SL fair.
J, OCTOGEKAHIAX PLEASED
'Til never be able to make the trip
again." said F. M. Nllls of Sioux Falls,
S. D.. who is 89 years of age and the
t oldest merabef of the party, "but Crater
Lake and the Willamette valley were
T more than worth a trip across the coun
try."
"Wonderful is all I can say," said
George Schlosser of the Republican,-
Wesslngton Falls, S. D., "but the boss
ft or tne party can tell you more."
Bchloaeer then asked Will WHkie, owner
T of the Gazette of Gray Eagle, Minn., and
chairman of the transportation commit
tee, fof mn expression,
v "Until we get back to our typewriters
-. jf and think it over, I can't possibly give

"Our first experience on the trip that
showed the wonderful hospitality of Ore

"Both parties arrived at the lake at
aboat the same time. Under a cloudless
sky we obtained our first glimpse of
the lake. ; I, for one. was speechless,
and I wondered bow the others were
affected. For a long time no one spoke,
and then there were exclamations and
interrogations In sufficient amount to
fill a whole newspaper.
"CSKQCALLED IS BEAUTY"
"Following that were . campfires,
lunches and excursions in such a whirl
that -I have been unable to separate the

We viewed the lake ruffled by the gentle
mountain breezes In the daytime and

Crater lake is unequalled in beauty,
and I have seen quite a little of the
world.
"Some of us are coming baek to Ore

but If you convey our appreciation to

At 10:15 o'clock the train moved out

ASHLAND APPEALS TO
VISITING EDITORS
Ashland, Aug. 13. Weary after the
long drive, but made as carefree as chil
dren by a two day, sojourn in the forest
fastness and a night spent at nature's
bluest lake, the visiting editors began
streaming into Ashland at S oclock Tues
day afternoon. They were enthusiastic
over their outing and the beauties of
Ashland with its background of snow
tipped mountains, and, as befitted the
occasion, hungry.
First they took a sulphur plunge or
tub bath, and then as suited their plea
sure they wandered over plaza and
parks, drank lithia water and melted
snow from plaza fountains, or Jumped
into cars for hurried spins over scenic
drives. Oregon products were served
on tables beside Ashland creek. The
women of Ashland, assisted by Mrs.
Humphreys of Oregon, served. Tables
were loaded with fruit. Short talks were
made by E. E. Brodie. C. E. Ingalls and
G. E. Hosmer.
W. G. Steel said this was the most
satisfactory trip ever made to the lake.
Mrs. Guy U. Hardy said that ' she and
Mr. Hardy got up at S o'clock to see the
sunrise, and it was the most glorious
sight of her life. Mrs. Hawley said
Mr,- Hawley was- wild after eating bear
meaT at Eagle , creek and could not talk
paper mills. y y
'The governor' said the trip was' much
easier than his first trip, which was
made 80 years ago. Some of the party
motored to Med ford to catch the train
there. ' The crowd were shown through
the Chautauqua auditorium.
Viscount Grey May
Be Ambassador to
IT. S.From England
London, Aug. 13. It is confidently
expected that within a few days the
government will announce that Viscount
Grey has accepted the post of BrHiah
ambassador to the United States. ..
Vlscotint Grey has been , for many
months troubled by his failing eyesight.
Some of the greatest British specialists
have been in' consultation over him and
he has been subjected to a special course
of treatment, so that recent reports that
he was going blind have now been re
placed by encouraging news. f
The viscount, it appears,' is not threat
ened with total blindness, but is suffer
Ing from what is known to .the profes
sion as central vision. When be wears
colored glasses, with which he has be
come .familiar, he can see sufficiently
to walk about, and indeed, can go fish
ing and pursue ordinary pursuits as well
as the average person. However, he
Cannot read print.
From a well informed source, it Is
learned that Viscount Grey the other day
put the definite question to oculists as
to whether, if he goes to the United
States, his eyesight might 'get worse
on account of the heavy work that would
await him there. They replied in the
negative, saying his sight would never
be better but never worse.

DANIELS NOT SURE
OF VISIT TO NORTH
Secretary Will Decide ' on Trip
; After His Return From ;
Honolulu.'
; On Board Battleship New "York,
via East San Pedro. Cal., Aug. IS.
(V. P.) With Secretary Daniels and
his party aboard, the New York was
well- out from San Pedro early to
day, en' route for Honolulu." The
secretary was on the bridge when
the New York moved away from Its
anchorage.
Daniels said be will' wait until he
reaches San Francisco to determine ,def I -nitely
whether he will visit the North
west. The secretary said he plans to send
the fleet back through the canal next
year for a sham battle with the Atlan
tic fleet. The following year, he said,
he will bring the Atlantic fleet to the
Pacific for maneuvers.
When the New York left, G. W. Tews
was found aboard as a stowaway. Tew
said he wanted to enlist in the firs
room crew. When examined it Mas
found he could not read the optical iihart
at a distance of five feet.
"This is the fifth time Tve been re
jected," TeWs said, when he was eht
ashore. "I thought my eyes wouldn't
bother down there In the fires."
SAYS THEY PASSED

tion than the bill. Several Portland
residents found their month's grocery
bills "almost" paid in this way. At
One store a $35 check Was cashed On
tjie pretext that $9 was being given
through the etore oh the account of
the Waverly Baby Home.
Both Sibley and Mrs. Fuller blame
morphine for their downfall. Sibley j
declares that he must have Z5 grains
a day, and says it cannot be procured
tor less than $1 per grain..
"When a man gets in the shape I
am in he loses all self respect, man
hood and everything else, and will even
commit murder if necessary to secure
the drug," Sibley said. "I have been
using this stuff for 17 jcears. I served
10 months in the Nevada penitentiary
for forging a $1200 bank draft, but
while I was there I used to buy the
stuff from the guards. If I had been
cured then I wouldn't have been here
now. I understand I will not be able
to get It at Salem, where I expect to
go for this offense. I want to get
cured and am willing to do five years
if I can get my manhood back. I
used to be an expert accountant."
Sibley also admitted that he had put
out about 200 forged prescriptions on
local drug stores in order to secure
morphine.
LUCK DUE TO WOMAIT ,
How , he had escaped both city and
federal, officials this long is a mystery
to Sibley. Police declare Sibley's luck
was due to the woman''
Sibley denied that he had taken part
in any of the recent house or garage
robberies. "All I did was to 'hang
paper, he said.

Petrification of Lava.
Medford, Aug.- 13. -Tourists have

national park in addition to that
"mysterious sea of silence." accord
ing to reports, i
Workmen In Crater lake national park
recently discovered In the woods .one
fourth of a mile from the road or .trail
the mysterious - figure of a woman, an
effigy or petrif action which may be Old
er than' the mummies of Egypt and New
Mexico and-will merit the investigatidn
ef -scholars.
The figure Is that of a woman Jn a
crouching position with both forearms
lifted defensively before her face. And la
reclining against a boulder. Few have
yet seen the figure, but those who have
are Impressed with Its appearance . of
weird antiquity.
It is believed she may have been a
victim of the great cataclysm in which
masses of lava from Mount' Maxama
were thrown over a wide area and were
no doubt .the cause of the immense quan
tities of petrified wood and incrusted
plants, Insects and wild life found in the
preparation of 'agates and similar stones,
in the far distant age before Crater lake
existed. v
This strange find is about 500 feet
