Disorders Are Only Mosquito
) Bites Which Will Be Gone To-
morrowr Says S. M. Vauclain;
i Sees Prosperity Already Here.
Coal - and rait - strikes, are only
"mosquito bites" which Irritate us to
day but will be tone tomorrow, in the
opinion of Samuel M. Vauclain, presi
dent of the Baldwin Locomotive works,
who arrived. today on a survey ef West
ern business. - --,'.-
Vauclain Is an ! "apostle of . pros
perity," a "peptomlst" and. one of the
world's greatest salesmen. He has
moved up to the top of the locomotive
buildings business from the bottom,
w here he, started as a shop laborer, and
he still. works 20 hours a day and needs
two assistants to work 10 hour tricks
each during his working- day.
CONFLICT OF IDEAS
"Only 'when' men try to force their
Ideas down the throat of other men
, when they are not prepared to swallow
such ideas does trouble occur." .said
Vauclain. m discussing - the railroad
strike af the Chamber 'of Commerce
luncheon, at- noon today. : " '
"The railroad workers are refusing:
to follow the mandates of their gov
ernment. You : won't Tind a better
class of men than these on strike, but
they have their' own ideas. ' They will
come around to the right Ideas eventu
ally. o If business men refuse to be
come worried and do not try to force
over their Ideas the railroad strike will
toe settled In a peaceable manner.
- The employers should have confi
dence In their workers. There are too
many barriers to the worker . today.
unyioyers snouia not compile a book
of
rules as thick as the Bible and
have their men sit up sll nljht read
ing them for fear of losing their jobs
the next day because they violate some
one of those rules.
'"When any trouble Is brewing find
' out what is wrong with yourself first.
It always takes two to start a fight."
GET FOREIGN TRADE
--Vauclain discussed th need-for for
eign trade for the country,' but ad
yised the business men not' to send
'the office boy, but go themselves to
see whether new business may be ob
tained. 'He advised that Pacific coast
Business men should ' pa; ' particular
attention to Mexico. " He also cau
tioned Oregonians not to allow their
'representatives at the national capital
to "put any frills over on them," . but
not to immediately begin "panning
' them" as soon as they start their work.
Perhaps it was -Decause the 'inspira
tion of Vauclain spread tar the crew of
the Southern Pacific passenger " tram
that the party came into the Union station-
10 -minutes ahead of time and long
before any of the reception committee
'was present to meet him. He was ac
companied by Grafton Greenough. vice
president in charge of sates ; W. A.
Garrett, general transportation tna n
ager ; Mrs. Vauclain, Anne Vauclain,
Mrs. S. .ML Vauqtaia Jr. and two daugh
ters. Patricia and Amelia, and his sec
retary. Miss .Styer, - . .

"Prosperity never will return - be
cause it Is here already,? said Vau
clain. "I have found the United States
In a prosperous condition, i Business
men only need to reach out and grasp

SIDE DEAL
Chief Engineer Boschke Says
His Road Is Not Seeking
Property, but Intimates That
Milwaukee Line May Be Buyer
Denial that the Southern Pacific
Railway company has any Interest n
the land options and purchases being
made on the east side along Front
and First streets and intimation that
the Chicago. Milwaukee St. Paul
has been the prime mover in these
deals was made today, by George. W.
Boschke. chief engineer of the South
ern Pacific system, who -arrived today
from the South on. an inspection trip.
"If the Southern Pacific was mak
ing these purchases you could bet your
bottom dollar that they? would not be
passing up i an opportunity to blow
their- horn - about spending money i in
Oregon in View of their present situa
tion, in regard to the Central Pacific
divorce decree," ' said Boschke.
HABD CASH PAH) '
"Actual hard cash has -been paid
for a great amount of the east -side
property optioned. - Business men - ac
cused me today of having backed: the
options and claimed that they had
deeded away their property,
"The reasonable.- line of thought? to
follow on these options is that who
ever is behind these purchases It is
someone that has money.. Portland
should feel excited to think that id
development .has caused enough at
tention rto it to Justify : such Invest
ments. .'
"It is reasonable to think that the
Milwaukee line Js seeking an entry
to this city because it recently was
reported to have . entered a traffic
agreement with the Union Pacific to
permit, the Union Pacific lines to en.
ter Seattle, surely tne jauwauKee ex
pected to get something in return and
that something may have ,: been, an
agreement for use of Union Pacific
trackage to enter Fortiana.
INSPECTS TIES
. Boschke came - here to inspect ties
which have been creosoted for the
Southern Pacific at St. Helens and to
Inspect the new creosotlng plant at
Wilmington,' In which the Southern Pa
cific has made an investment 01
000. The new mill started operation
three weeks ago.
In the future all ties and timber
needed by the .Southern Pacific com
pany will be purchased in Oregon" and
the Southern Pacific will abandon It
redwood mills tn California. --
' The reason for the purchases in Ore
gon are that the redwood ties and tim
ber are not hard enougn to stand up
under heavy traffic. This year the tie
and timber purchases In . the state
amounted to 14.500,000 and next year :
Boschke Bald this amount likely would
increase. , ' - r " , t J."
StTIT STOPS WORK ', .
All of these ties . will be creosoted
before use and 60 per cent of this
business will be done at the Wilming
ton plant, while. the other 60 per cent
will be dona at the new Oakland
creosoting" plant at Oakland. ;- s; . "
In regard to . development work in
Oregon, Boschke said that development
work was stopped by the suit against
the Southern Pacific ownership of tne
Central -Pacific nine years ago - and
that new development work --could not
be started until that suit had been Bet
tied. ' I
"It is a crime that that suit should
have occurred," 'said Boschke. Vt or the
development of . the West , has been
greatly retarded because of It-..

Washington." July 2f. (U. P.) A
break : in the nation-wide rail strike
deadlock : appeared ,. today wllh an
nouncement by th Southern railway
here that "the door is wide open" for
striking shopmen to return -to work. .
Strikers who return to their posi
tions will be given full seniority rights,
the announcement said.
Refusal of some roads to restore
seniority rights has been one of the
big obstacles to a settlement of the
strike. .
Washington, ' July 21. President
Harding today telephoned a summons
to Ben , W.' Hooper, chairman of the
railway labor , board at 1 Chicago, to
come to Washington at once for a con
ference on j the increasingly serfous
railroad stride situation.
-This step on the president's part was
decided upon at a lengthy " cabinet
meeting which was devoted to discus
sion of the Industrial situation. .
No definite time, has been set for the
troop- experiment-,. It - was stated em
phatically, however, in cabinet quar
ters today, that if at the end of two
weeks 4here has not been enough coal
mined to piece out the fast dwindling
supply and If there are not .any: good
prospects , ahead. . President Harding
will resort to other means. -In this con- '
tingency; two courses appear open : .
First Ah appeal to . the operators
themselves to grant the -1 miners' de
mands, until the coal commission, which
rihe-president intends to appoint, can
get going; and - produce something of
a permanent character, t . '
Second Government seizure of the
non-producing mines on the assurance
that the miners will work for the gov
ernment on the scale that existed pri
or to- the strike. - -;
President Harding, will shortly sum
mon rati executives and striking shop
men's leaders to Washington for a
conference, it was indicated today, fol
lowing a cabinet meeting. (
