Injunction
Directed Against Rail
Strikers Is Sure to Be
Center of
Controversy. Headed
lor High Court in
Hot Fight
-By David Lawrence-
' Chicago, Set. 29. Illinois is so over
whelmingly Republican that Senator
Medlll McCormick s reelection is reas
sured and there is far more Interest in
this community in the effect of the in
junction secured in trtfe federal courts
, her by the government against the
railroad strikers.
Briefly, the injunction is looked upon
as- epochal. Unless labor should suc
ceed in setting it aside thrmigh re
verses in the higher courts, the decree
is permanent. This means that strikes
'on public utilities have at one fell
Kwoop been declared taboo without
any fufther legislation. That, how
ever, is just the rub.
Many of the critics of the injunction
contend that it would be far better for
America if such drastic prohibitions
as are imposed by the injunction were
really passed upon by congress.
STEP WELCOMED
There is naturally a reaction against
the Injunction in labor circles, but it Is
a fact that the business community
as a whole welcomes the step as a
.start, at any rate, toward the settle
' ment of industrial disputes and argues
that even if the injunction should fail
to' stand the test of the higher judi
ciary, it wui serve as a basis for action
by congress or the states.
Fin other words,, public sentiment
against strikes on public utilities and
- in the industries which control the
necessaries of life is rapidly crystal
lizing and must be reckoned with in
politics.
There is no question but that the
- Harding administration has been Im-
. . measurably strengthened among its
own supporters by President Harding's
veto of the bonus and the Daugherty
injunction. '
BECOME CRITICAL
The business men who contribute
heavily to the support of the Republi
can party from year to year have al
ways felt that the Wilson adminlstra
, tkn catered to labor and that its suc
cessor must in a measure do the re
verse. It was therefore with consid
erable disappointment that the pro
posal of President Harding to restore
seniority rights to rail strikers was re
ceived. Some business men went so
far as to say that the proposal was a
surrender "Mice the Adaroson act"
Business men became critical of the
administration. 'But the Daugherty in
junction and thereto of the bonus
turned the tido. Reports received by
Republican chieftains from all parts of
the country show that Mr. Harding

FAIR HOME ASKED
Salem. Or., Sept 25. Carrying out
the .sentiments expressed by speakers
at the annual business session of the
Pure Bred Livestock association at the
state fair grounds. Wednesday night,
resolutions were adopted by the asso
ciation at, the annual banquet last
night calling upon the state fair board
to make adequate provision before the
next fair rolls around for the boys' and
girls' club exhibits and a home for
, these youthful exhibitors while guests
of the fair.
It is expected that an appropriation
of $100,000 will be asked of the next
legislature for this building. Speakers
pointed out the fact that the boys and
girls' club work has grown into one of
the most important features of the fair.
The association also went on record
as favoring the repeal of the predatory
animal bounty law. diverting the funds
thus expended to the employment of
professional hunters.
- The request of the state livestock
sanitary' board for a deficiency appro
priation of 110,000 to pay indemnities
for the loss of cattle, condemned by
State inspectors because of tubercular
Infection, was also approved by the
association.
The state fair board was asked to
adopt a rule requiring all entries of
livestock for the fair to be made at
least five days previous to the open
ing day.
Other resolutions favored a law mak
ing testing of cattle for tuberculosis
.compulsory in counties where accred
ited area work is started, regretting
that Professor E. B. Fitts. dairy spe
cialist of the Oregon Agricultural col-
. lege, had gone to a similar position

Federation Opposes Return to
Convention Plan; League In
come Tax Bill Scored; De
mand Volstead Act Amendment
Salenfe Sept. 29. A resolution declar
ing that the proposed income tax
amendment, sponeored by the State
Taxpayers' league, was "initiated for
the obvious purpose of confusing the
voters and killing the grange income
tax measure," was adopted by the
Oregon State Federation of Labor, in
session Thursday.
The resolution points out that adop
tion of the proposed amendment "will
throw more of the burden of taxation
on the small wage earner," and calls
upon organized labor to lend Its forces
to opposition of the measure.
The convention also went on record
as opposed to any movement which
sought to destroy the direct primary
and bring about the return to the old
convention, system of nominating can
didates for political office.
WETS WIN FIGHT
The bitterest fight of the convention
was waged around a resolution' in
troduced by the soft drink dispensers
urging modification of the Volstead act
and a return of wholesome beer ana
light wines." The resolution was
adopted by a vote of 35 to 27, with 21
delegates absent, after an oratorical
exchange replete with personalities
which consumed most of the afternoon.
President Hartwlg of the federation,
sneaking against the resolution, de
clared that the only effect of the pro
posal was to drive a wedge into the
labor movement to split tne organiza
tion.
STATE xXSUBAXCE FAVORED
A resolution proposing an amend
ment to the state compensation act,
making acceptance of its provisions
compulsory upon all employers was
adopted by the convention. Should
the legislature fail to pass such an
amendment steps will be taken to place
the question before the voters through
the medium of the initiative. State
insurance, as administered under the
Oregon act was highly preferable to
the protection offered by casualty com
panies, it was pointed out by support
ers of this resolution.
The convention extended to the
Portland Central Labor council an of
fer of assistance in entertaining dele
gates to the national convention of
the American Federation of Labor In
Portland next year. It was also pro
posed that an effort be made to ad
vance the date of the national con
vention from October to June when
Oregon will be at its best.
Free text books for the public schools
of Oregon are indorsed fn another res
olution adopted by the convention
Thursday. Free text books printed in
the state printing plant, it was argued,
would save the taxpayers of the state
$250,000 annually.
Hallock & Watson to

The first of the Hallock & Watson
concerts will be broadcast from the

orchestra in a program of instrumental
numbers, Louis Shurtliff, violinist, and
Mrs. Misha Pelz, soprano, will be the
featured entertainers. Miss Maud Mc
Cauley will be at the piano. Because
this is the first attempt a broadcast
ing in the new studio aj because the
transmission will be almost two blocks
away, Hallock &' Watson make no
promises. They are, however, highly
hopeful that the broadcast will be of
an excellence unequaled here in the
past.
Budget Allows for
16 More Policemen
.The new budget for Portland will
provide for 16 more patrolmen. This
allowance was made today by the bud
get committee, after Mayor Baker
made a plea that if there was any
possible way allowance must be made
for more peace officers. Chief of Po
lice Jenkins was present and thanked
the commissioners for making the al
lowance, declaring there is urgent need
for the extra men.
He may go to any country he chooses.

of North Virginia, after sailing through

raft which he had secretly constructed.
The raft-' waa too heavy, however, to

Loot Cache
Of Cobbler
A cache of $116 money J. Toma,
owner of the wee bit of a shoe re
pair shop at No. 249 Morrison street,
had saved up for a rainy day was
found this morning at 7 o'clock by
two men who stuck up Toma. locked
him in the lavatory and rifled the
shop.
Toma had just opened the door and
was putting on his apron to get at
the day's work, when the two men
entered. They were both roughly
dressed, one of them in overalls.
"Can you fix that shoe, mister?" one
of them asked, sticking out his foot.
Toma bent over to examine the shoe,
and as he did so the man jerked out
a small blue pistol and stuek it under
his nose.
"Stick 'em up !" he was ordered.
Toma complied with alacrity and $6
was deftly taken froth his pocket
"What else you got?" he was asked.
"I hsven't a cent more," he declared.
But the men did not believe him and
pushed him into the lavatory, locking
the door. They then opened the ti'.!
and secured $5 or $6, after which they
threw things around, evidently lot! king
for hidden money. They were not
mistaken, as they came upon the $116
back of a pile of leather on one of
the shelves.
Meantime, as soon as he dared, Toma
began kicking on the door and shout
ing. He had been locked Up about
15 minutes, he believes, when Sam
Poppas, bootblack next door, heard
him and released him.

1925 Fair Tax to
Be Considered by
Council Wednesday
Mayor Baker today placed on the .of
ficial calendar for next Wednesday's
council session a proposal to raise by
taxation the sum of $3,000,000 in aid
of the y25 exposition, the amount to
be raised at the rate of $1,000,000 a
year. The proposal is contingent upon
the raising of $1,000,000 by private sub
scription. The whole matter of taxa
tion, of course, is dependent upon the
state's vote in the November election
authorising the city to raise money for
such a purpose by taxation.
The mayor announced that the com
mittee to raise the million by subscrip
tion would be designated at Monday's
meeting of the exposition executive
committee. The names of the commit
tee will appear on the ordinance when
It is introduced Wednesday as spon
sors for the measure.

NEW LINES
IN YAKIMA
AREA PLAN
Lytle Interests Announce Build
ing Program Which Will In
clude Placing of Yakima 165
Miles Nearer to Portland.
Construction of a network of rail
lines through Yakima and Klickitat
counties, in Southern Washington, ag
gregating 154 miles and estimated to
cost $7,500,000, was announced today
by E. E. Lytle. railroad builder, fol
lowing incorporation of the Yakima
Southern Railway company at Olym
pia. Wash., today.
Plans for the newly incorporated
company are for the construction of a
rail line 86 miles in length connecting
Yakima with Underwood on the Co
lumbia river. Strategic property on
the line has been purchased and actual
construction work is promised for early
next year. Total cost of this line, ac
cording to Lytle, is $5,000,000 and the
maximum grade of 1 per cent, fa
voring traffic.
$0 MILE LISE
At the same time the company pro
poses to build -a. 30 mile line with a
maximum grade of 2 per cent, from
North Prosser. Wash., to the Columbia
river at. Paterson. opposite Messner.
This construction work is estimated to
cost $1,000,000. The North Prosser
Paterson line would serve the newly or
ganized Horse Heaven irrigation
project. i
Subsequent to construction of these
two lines Lytle said the plans of the
company were to construct a railroad
38 miles In length to Beverly from Yak
ima to connect with the Chicago. Mil
waukee & St.- Paul railroad. Further,
Lytle said that if the plans of the We
natchee Southern railroad to build a
line between Wenatchee and Yakima
did not mature, that the Yakima South
ern comparer would build to Wenatchee.
This system of rail lines has been
under consideration for two years, ac
cording to Lytle. Eastern capital is
behind the project which portends a
major development for the Columbia
river. Since the Yakima Southern will
not make a physical connection with
the S. P. & S. because of plans to
lighter freight to -Portland from, Un
derwood over the Columbia river; "It
win not be - necessary to apply to .the
interstate commerce commission for a
certificate of necessity, with possibil
ity ot long delay for the project
FOBILAKD HEX XAMED
Incorporators of the company were
Lytle. John H. Hall, J. B. Atkinson
and Henry E. Reed. The company is
capitalized for $1,000,000. Saturday the
incorporators will meet at Vancouver,
Wash., headquarters for the company,
and elect officers. Lytle probably will
be chosen president.
"Next week," Lytle said, "the actual
work of securing additional right of
way and ptens for construction work
will be started."
The line from Underwood lto Yakima
will follow a branch of the White Sal
mon river and cut through to the Top
penlsh river at a point close to White
Swan. It will bring Yakima 165 miles
nearer Portland by rail and will make
Yakima 36 miles nearer to Portland
than Seattle. It also will reduce the
rail distance between Portland and
Spokane 31 miles.

DENIED PLEA
FOR . DIVORCE
Wife of Multi-Millionaire Bank
er Exonerated From Charges
of Misconduct With Indian
Guide; Son to Share Fortune.
Carmel, N. Y.. Sept. 29. James A.
Stillman. former multi-millionaire presi
dent of the National City bank of New
York, today lost his suit for divorce
against his wife, Mrs. Anne Urquhart
Stillman. when the referee. Daniel J,
Gleason, handed down a decision hold
ing Stillman guilty of .misconduct with
a woman and completely exonerating
Mrs. Stillman of the charges the
plaintiff had filed against her. The
decision establishes the legitimacy of
Mrs. Stilman's little son, Guy, which
had been attacked by James A. Still
man, x
Referee Gleason's report said that
testimony had established guilty rela
tions between Stillman and Mrs. Flor
ence Leeds, former chorus girl, upon
Stillmah's private yacht, "Modesty,
and at various places in New York and
Florida between 191T and 1921.
CHILD SHARES FUND
Gleason's decision means thaj Still
man's application for a divorce will be
denied and that baby Guy Stillman
will share in the $6,000,000 trust fund
established by his grandfather, James
Stillman, the same as the other chil
dren. The report will be subject to the final
decision of Supreme Court Justice
Morschauser.
James A. Stillman, then president of
the National City bank. New York,
shocked the city's "400" in particular
and the public generally when he filed
suit for a divorce from his wife, charg
ing that Fred Beauvais. an Indian
guide, was the parent of Mrs. Still
man's son, Guy. This was last year.
REFUSES TO A3TSWEB
During the sensational hearing of
the case, the banker twice took the
stand. The first time he answered all
questions freely but the second he
answered 400 queries put to- him by
John Mack and John F. Brennan,
counsel for Mrs. Stillman. by saying
"I refuse to answer on the grounds
that it might tend to incriminate me."
Early im the iegal battle. Justice
Morschauser of West Chester; county
granted lrs. .Stillman $90,000' a year
alimony- and liberal allowances, for
counsel fees.
Mrs. Stillman put up a hard battle
against the charges of her husband.
She went to Canada and secured the
testimony of 40 French-Canadians to
refute the charges of witnesses.
Referee Gleason rendered his de
cision after he had considered 7000
pages of evidence.
Neither Stillman nor his wife were
present when the decision was filed.
Mrs. Stillman was reported on a mo
tor trip in New England and Still
man's whereabouts were unknown.
POWER SOUGHT BY
TAX COMMISSION
The giving of plenary power to the
state tax commission in "order to effect
an equitable primary assessment will
be one of the principal recommenda
tions of the state's investigation com
mittee which met today for a final dis
cussion of the report to be made - to
the governor November 1. All the
committee were present except Walter
M. Piercer and E. H. Smith of Lake
view. Before undertaking radical changes
in the existing system of taxation it
was the general expression of the
commission that the first step in re
form is to ascertain just what the
true valuation of the assessable prop
erty of the state is based on an ap
proximation toward 100 per cent ot
value.
FOR CESTRAL AUTHORITY
To reach this knowledge there must
be, in the opinion of the committee,
a centralization of the assessing au
thority. . .
Instead of having J6 different stand
ards, one for each county, it is to be
the aim to centralize in the state tax
commission and give It full authority
to ascertain values and direct the
assessment
The committee has also practically
concluded to recommend a tax on the
gross incomes of public service cor
porations. The argument for this form
of tax which prevails with the com
mittee is that it is most easily ad
ministered, although It may not be
so just in principle as a tax on the
net income.

before the grand Jury.
"We are ' constantly hearing of the
work of "professional fixers' operating
wHh the police, the municipal court
and the city council, said Mayor Ba
ker, "but this is the first time wehave
been able to turn up the fixers. and
if it is possible I hope they will be
sent to the penitentiary." -
While the council- was in session
Chief of Police Jenkins and- Attorney
Lou Wagner appeared, with Cohen and
Sherman, and stated- the situatieh in
which it was shown that young Darcey
had been held up by the two men for
blackmail money. Cohen then con
fessed to having taken the money, . and
Mayor Baker ordered their arrest
The men are held on the charge of
disorderly conduct and health charges.
They ' were brought to the attention
of Jenkins by Wagner, who had ap
peared in the municipal court as the
attorney for young Darcey, as it, had
come to Wagner's ears that Cohen and
Sherman were' circulating the word that
Wagner had received the money they
had taken, from Darcey. X
Darcey is the son of a wealthy lum
berman of Sault Ste. Marie, Mich. H
was an employe 'of the Whitney Lum

"on the charge of bootlegging- and was
nned in 'tne -municipal, court on this
charge and also on the charge of vio

He" also was held on a health charge.
It was then, according to the story,
that Cohen and Sherman got busy and
convinced Darcey that they were able
to "fix things" so that he. would be
released. --
The proprietor of the Oxford ..hotel
was before thev city council last
Wednesday to, show cause why his
license should not be revoked, because
of . the 'Darcey incidents ; but the case
was dismissed when it was shewn that
the management ..was not aware 'of
