Issue . Under; Bean-Barrett . Law
" Is Asked in Move . to Get
Matter Before Court.
Salem,: Oct.v 10-Wlth" a view to
securing a court interpretation' as to
Just how far the state may proceed
under the" Bean-Barrett act of 1917'
in meeting federal aid, for road work,
the state highway commissions this
morning fijed with the. state board
of control a request for the Issuance
of an additional 1 1,000,000 worth "of
bonds under this act.' ", i-'". ; v- i ;
This amount is $400,000 in excess of
the balance remaining of the $1,800,000
epeclftcally authorised in the Bean.
Barrett act of. 1917 under which $1,200,000
in bonds have already been Issued to
meet a like amount, of federal aid.
Attorney General1 George M. Brown
and J; M. Deyers, assistant attorney gen
eral assigned to the state highway de
partment, are both of the opinion that
the act Is so worded as to permit the
state to meet additional federal aid up to
the - constitutional limitation of 2 per
cent of the state's assessed valuation.
-This limitation. It-is figured, will per
mit1 the issuance of an aggregate of
$20.000,000 "for -highway work. A total
of .$17,800,000 has already1een authorized
by the state legislature, including the
tUSQO.OOO authorised under the Bean
Barrett act.
Under this 'interpretation of the law
there would yet remain a margin of
$2,200,000 available for meeting- a similar
amount i' appropriated by the federal
government ;-
It is expected that the state board ot
control --will .take some- action on the
request of the-highway department at a
special meeting Monday. .. If the request
Is refused the highway department will
probably l institute mandamus ' proceed
ings In ' an effort" to compel the state
board ' of control to grant the reouest
in -order to secure an interpretation of
the provisions Of -the" act - .:

Duxbury, who had been working in

smoke and sought its source by
opening the door to the kitchen;
. Terror stricken, she rushed to the first
floor, but remembered that her 10
months', old baby, Marjorie, was in the
room back of the kitchen. Returning
to her apartment she wrapped cloth
about : her head rushed through the
burning room, rescuing the child.
In the meantime the flames had pane'

Industrial Conference Adjourns
To Permit ; Board lof Six to
Lay Plans fo Arbitrate, Dispute.
Employer Group Gives Platform
of Principles j Declare for the
Open Shop; Oppose Overtime.
By Ralph F. Couch'
Washington, dct. 10.(U.' P.)
The national Industrial conference
voted a recess until $-: SO a. m. next
Tuesday to give the central commit
tee of 15 time to study and report
on the proposal of the labor group
that the conference name a board of
six to arbitrate the steel strike
The proposals of the employers' group
are divided Into 12 clauses, all of which
are in the form of enunciation of gen
era! principles. One declares that "there
should be no Interference wtth the open
shop, that la, the shop in which member
ship and non-membership In any asso
ciation is not made a condition of em
ployment.
There should be no denial of the right
or an employer and his workers to agree
that their relations shall be that of the
closed union shop or of the closed non
union shop. But the right- of the em
ployer and his employes to continue
their relations on the principle of the
open shop should, not be questioned or
denied. , - .
Under the heading "freedom of con
tract." the employers' group insists:
"With the right to associate recognised,
the fundamental principle of Individual
freedom . demands that every person
must be free to engage In any lawful
occupation or enter Into any lawful con
tract as an -employe- and be secure In
the continuity and rewards of his efforts.
' The. only qualification:' to' which such
liberty of contract Is subject lies tn the
power' of the state, -within limits im
posed by- the constitution, to regulate.
