Mc Oil loch, was complainant and sought more sweeping changes, than the com mission would -allow. ' The commission makes the following findings: "We find (1) that the rate on cement in carloads from Oswego to South-? bnd. Washington is unduly pre judi cal to the extent - that it exceeds the rate contemporaneously maintained from Be! ling ham and Concrete Wash ington, to the same point: (2) that rates from Oswego to points in Wash ington on the Spokane. Portland and Seattle railway, Camas to Roosevelt inclusive, and.frpm Oswego over inter state routes to Bend, Oregon, are un duly prejudical to the extent that they exceed rate not la than 9.5 cents under the contemporaneous rates from Bellingham and Concrete to the same destinations; and (3) that rates from Oswego- to points in Oregon on Klam ath Falls branch of the Southern Pa cific are unduly prejudicial to the ex tent that they exceed the rate to Weed. C'al.. .by a greater amount than the rates from Tolenas, Cal., to the same destinations exceed or may exceed the rate from Tolenas to Weed. . "We further find that the interstate ratex on cement in carloads from Os wego are not unreasonable and with the exceptions above noted Jot unduly prejudicial."'

SLICK PRACTICES CHARGED July 1, the date set by the unions for the walk, out, is the day when the wage cuts on these classes of railroad labor becoma effective. Jewell's message to Cuyler. which is admittedly sent for the purpose of making clear to the railroad executives and the public "the measure of you? responsibility, takes up the railroad disputes and the developments in the situation during '-the last two years, and charges that the railroad manage ments ' use or violate the transporta tion act as suits- their purpose and U to their, advantage." "It became -evident aly In the de velopment of th present controversy ," the. communication1 declares," "that the purpose of the carriers in dealing with their employes was to organize man-agenaenta- -fox?' national action in . sup- port of uniform policies : second to avoid negotiations with the employes organized likewise for national action third, to impose the national policies or management - upon local organiza tions of-employes ; and fourth, upon the inevitable failure of such unfair meth . ods of negotiation to throw upon the rauroad labor board an intended and impossible- burden of operation." HOLDS PRINCIPLES VIOLATED The communication traces develop ments down to the time the board be gan to announce Its wage decisions. The questions submitted to vote of the unions, it is stated, were those of wages, working rules and contracting; out work to private shops. Regard-' ing the vote and the decision of the union executives, the communication concludes : "The votes of the employes on these questions show in each instance the decision of an overwhelming .majority of the employes to withdraw from the service of the railroads rather than to continue under those intolerable con dylars. It, therefore, becomes the ob l;gaticn of the representatives of these employes to sanction their withdrawal from employment. -' DEMAXDS OF "PHOXS "On behalf and with authority of the executive council of the railway em ployes' department.

It was arranged that Albert, not al lowed, to IgO with the party, was t a meet Frit k a"d Hecker on their re turn at Bast land and Division. He waited for an hour after the approxi mate hour for meeting snd then yftat home. ' . WITNESS IS FIRM On cross examination by Thomas G-. Ryan, who went into detail into almost every statement Albert Bowker had made, the witness stood firm in 4?ls statements, adding only that prior to the conference oyer the purchase of the liquor be had been on a business trip to Heppner. Ryan asked him if it were not me that the business trans-' acted on this trip did not concern the. aispeei ok aupaoi ox liquor. This led to the first objection raised, so far- during, the trial Judge Camp-! bell sustaining the state's contention that such was. not proper cross exami nation. ' .v Cross, examination was to be con tinued after the noon recess. Mrs. D. J. Hecker, mother of the ac cused Linn county youth, was in the courtroom today and watched the, pro ceedings with tke keenest interest. At recess she rushed up to her son. threV her arms about him and they stood thus embraced for some minutes, talk ing in low tones. v-.'-' t- Jurors received, first Jf&nd Impres sions today by visiting;, six sites in the vicinity of Clackamas which the prosecution believes bad prominent part in' the chata ej circurastneial evtr dence. An air of mystery was injected Into the automobile jouf ney by a visit to the Rock Creek bridge. Tbe prose cution declared it had not suggested this side trip. The defense attorney made a like statement, : yet the. jurors were conveyed tothia point, a mile east of tke Mates filling- station on the dackamas-Carver.road, and asked by Judge Caropboil to make a minute inspection na aoid J(ae4c, ooservatsons in mind. ' ' The jury left the Osrecon City court house at SL o'clock in two automobiles. Tke first stop was made half a miie east of Clackamas where reports after the murder bad It that bloodstains were, found on the road. This was ISO yards south of tke home of Lawrence A. Miliner. The next spot was near the Mates tlliing station, then on to the bridge. Then the party went back to Clackamas and proceeded 4 mile north on the (2d street , toad,;- turned, , and doubled back to a point, half - a mile ouU of Oiackamaa near-, tb Fipec home. -- Obaerymtions were made at all : thee points. : Th party then went half a mile north to. th north boundary of the Gladstone Chautauqua grounds.' wher It was reported that tire marks corresponding to tb tires oa the mur-j Murder Jury der car were found in the soft earth by the roadside. During all this time practically noth ing was said, the few remarks uttered being made by the judge in calling at tention to points mentioned by the prosecution as pivt points in the evi dence to be submitted. The entire journey took about an hour and a half. Hecker was In a car with two deputy sheriffs. He retained his a!r of com posure throughout. The jury was in charge of the vener able bailiff. Thomas Miller, a figure in Clackamas county for more than half a century. After the inspection was over, end ing with an examination of the murder ear itself, the jury retursted to the courtroom and the state put on its first witness. - " .

As a -result of the veiled opening statement of the defense at the close of the first day of the trial Monday. muck speculation has been aroused con cerning the nature 01 the oeiense wmca will be advanced.

It was clearly evident from Mowry'a opening statement that the state is building up from a chain of circum stantial evidence a case of premedita tion. At no time prior to Mowry'a opening statement did th? state announce its intention or attempting io prove maw aforethought and premeditation. The motive for the crime, according to the state's opening statement, would be proved to be robbery. BEFEXSS YEILED In the opening statement by Hedges. former district attorney of Clackamas countv, no attempt was made to out line any alibi, but rather an effort waa made to conceal any prearranged- line of defense. Hedges informed the jury the defense expected to prove from tbe testimony of witnesses that Hecker waa not guilty of the crime charged in the indictment returned by the Clacka mas county grand jury.

He closed his brief statement by request ing the jury at all times through the trial to keep an open and unprejudiced mind. au ,,. j ,, it , All eyes were centered, upon Hecker when it became - evident at the court session Tuesday afternoon that the state would seek a conviction for murder in the first degree.
