Washington and California, are made
In a decision by division tare of the
Intercalate fommcrca comrnission today
which grants lower rates from Oswego
to several points !rv" aahlnston and
Central -Oregon, h , i' . -"
The Oswego plant, represented by
Joseph 3C- Teal and William C. 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

executive council of the railway em
ployes' department. I am informing
--?ou, and through you informing the
responsible heads of the various rail
ways In the United States and also

mediate, arrangement can be made ;

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

tinued after the noon recess.
Mrs. D. J. Hecker, mother of the ac

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

by Judge Caropboil to make a minute

prosecution as pivt points in the evi
dence to be submitted. The entire
journey took about an hour and a half.

posure throughout.
The jury was in charge of the vener
able bailiff. Thomas Miller, a figure in
