The officials believe that the northern lines will recover soon from the effect of the shopmen's ,, strike.

The Improvement of the car supply is very slight today, but more loaded car are being received. Grain will soon start moving toward Portland from the Inland Empire and this should make available a better supply of empties. Grain shippers have agreed to use any kind of equipment available. The Union Pacific reported a con tinued shortage of deliveries from the East, but few delays in filling de mands in the Northwest. The Union Pacific traffic officials said they would be able to keep their car sufcply in good shape if the northern lines re covered soon and began bearing their volume of traffic The Southern Pa cific reported only slight embarrass ment in car supplies. SPIES ACTIVE Through the use of spies in shops of the Portland territory, headquarters of the strikers have been engaged in gathering statistics on the car and motive power supplies for several days. As a. result the strike head quarters issued an announcement today - that shops in this district were not handling general repairs at all and that even emergency work was being han dled slowly. The notice said that the car and motive power equiprrient in working order was only 60 per cent of normal. Between Portland and Eugene, on the Southern Pacific, the report said that a daily average of f9 cars were being repaired as agaiast a normal repair total of from 800 to 700. The strikers reported that employes at work were incompetent and that the foremen and the few workers who refused to walk out were being worked to the maximum of their ability. Managers of the Union Pacific, Southern Pacific and S. P. A S. shops combined in the declaration today that their forces were . nearly normal and that work was being kept up in some instances better than with the old forces.

Aug. 9.The Invisible supergoverhthent of Wall street,' says President Gompers of the American Federation of Labor, r'is standing out against all compromise in the coal and rail strikes, believing the time is at hand for giving labor its death blow." In- an" interview with the United Xewa, Gompers declared that one pur pose of these "sinister forces of finan cial giants" is to "place labor in a false light before the great American public. "The misguided financial autocrats," Gompers said, "are inspired along the line that might is right and they brush aside ruthlessly organisations based on theories of liberty. Justice, charity and humanity. They have decided to stand firmly against any compromise in the strike situation. Sad to relate the same egotistical theories of the former kaiser and his reactionary "Junker party have cropped up here in our re public, sponsored by the csars of big business Interests. "Kvery railroad man and triner, striking in protest against intolerable conditions," , Gompers added, "is In spired by the knowledge that he is fighting an economic battle for an American principle and be is deserving of the public's BUDDort- Meantime the public may rest assured that the acute fuel famine will continue to exist until these hordes of practical workers, or ganized for their personal welfare, will have voluntarily returned to their jobs."

GAS PRICE TO DROP 10 CENTS SEPTEMBER 1 A drop of 10 cents per 1000 feet in the price of gas will become effec tive September 1, according to an nouncement Tuesday by Gay "W. Tal bot, president of tha Portland Gas Coke company. A decrease of 5 cents per loot feet was announced August by the gas-cmpany, following a re duction in the price of crude oil' by the Standard Oil company; The addi tional cent decrease announced Tues day followed : a: further reduction of 15 cents per barrel in tha price of oil. "We were officially notified Tuesday by tne standard Oil company that the price of oil has again been reduced as cents per barrel and that the new price, effective today, would be tl.SS per barrel," Talbot stated. "Provi sion is made, however, that should oil advance in price between now and the expiration of our contract on Novem ber l, we wiil pay up to fl.t3 per barrel." . The gas company filed its new rate schedule, calling for another reduc tion of G cents per 1000 feet, with the public service commission at Salem. Tuesday, making a drop of 10 cents effective September a. The sating to the average householder would be about 21 cents per month. The reduc tion is in compliance with an agree ment mad by the Portland Gas Coke- company with the public service commission about two years ago, when the price of gas was advanced to meet a rise in the cost of fuel oil. OLD PHONE RATES , MAY BE REVIVED (Cotitiaiiad Frost P Oa) ing Commissioner Corey explained that be was as anxious for the return el lower telephone rates in Oregon as any other telephone user, but that he did not believe the Kerrigan resolu tion provided the proper mode of pro cedure. Rather, he declared, Tthe com mission should1 follow the course pro vided by law, that of Instituting a new investigation into the entire tele-, phorie. rate question. While no action was taken by the commission this morning on the peti tion of the Portland Housewives coun cil for a reduction in street railway fares, as had been rumored, it was in timated, following the session of the commission that the question of street car fares in Portland probably would be made the subject for a general In vestigation on the commission's own motkm in the hear future. Attorney General Van Winkle, whom the Kerrigan resolution places in the position of requesting the withdrawal of the answer to the Duncan suit, as the legal advisor for the commission, refused to comment on the action of the commission this morning, declaring he desired to. make certain of the law and his position with reference to the situation before making any statement. LEGAL A50IB FEESESTEP . Members of the commission were not in a position today to state just wjiat effect the Kerrigan resolution would have on the telephone rate situation in Oregon except that it opened the way for the ultimate and automatic return of the old rates in effect prior to the order which is being 'attacked In th suit Instituted by Duncan. While it was explained that it Was generally required that a answer must be filed in not more than 20 days it was pointed out that the com plaint of Duncan stood for months without any answer being filed and that further procedure .under the new status of the case ' Would depend largely upon stipulations entered in the c.ase.

Transmission of Power, by. Radio Is Still Remote Chicago, Aug. 1 f0t- N. 8. The present outlook for radio power trans mission la very remote. In the opinion of Dr. Charles P. Steinmetx, the "elec tric wlaard,' who today delivered an address on the subject before the In ternational Radio congress at the sec ond anntfal pageant held here. Dr. Steinmets. recognised as one of the world's leading authorities on things electric, in the general talk on the development Of - radio communica tion by telegraph and telephone, said thai the Question for the student was th impossibility of radio power trans mission. ' -rheoretcalry.' Dr. Steinrftets said, It 1 an Interesting' speculation, but whether it could ever become a possi bility would depend upon the question of whether a radio wr of the required length eould be found a to make the losses of power by absorption, etc., economically permissible, and whether stations for such wave lengths and power would.be economically feasible. "But "should efforts toward radio transmission of power offer opportunity of accomplishment it would have to be on an international development scale. "At the beet, however, radio power transmission at present I very remote, hough it 1 a fascinating speculation." s To Ship Roosevelt Statue August 26, Coe Tells Council The equestrian statue of Theodore Roosevelt, to be placed in the center of the park block immediately in front of the Ladd School, is to be shipped by boat from New Tork, August 26. according to a statement made to the city council today by Dr. Henry Waldo Coe, who la to donate the statue to the city.

Bat McCon nell, a 21-year-old tough guy, with a handy pair of mitts for fighting or driving a truck, has suddenly become Miss Florence Gray, and the gang is just knocked daffy by the news. 'Bat's denouement occurred in Judge McDevitt's police court, where the tough guy appeared with a , creased upper lip and a bruised eye, as a re luctant prosecuting witness against Eddie Weaver. .Eddie Weaver had jogged up his courage to take a smack at Bat McConnell s mouth in revenge for having been whipped full many a time by the battler.
