LITIGATION TO OCCUPY
SUMMER.
WORKING AT CAPITAL
FOR FARMERS
Prncrnss of an adjudication of
claims to water rights in the IIoi'l
river watershed now before tho circuit
court here is being retarded while
(he r.tate water board concludes work
ol issuing a finding on claims advanc
ed by tho Ml. Hood Water company,
one of the oldest irrigation concerns,
the system of which waters land in
(ho Mt. Hood aor-llon. The water case
waa transferred from the state water
board to the circuit court hero last
fall when a formal finding of the
board was presented to the court.
The state water board has been en.
gaged since 191G In an investigation
of the case, which resulted from lit
igation brought by tho Oregon Lum
ber company versus the East Fork Ir
rigation district. Tho lumber concern,
the Dee mill of which Is driven by
electricity developed from waters of
the oast nnd middle forks of Hoo.l
river, sought to restrain tho irrigation
district from making full use of tho
.waters claimed from the east fork.
The case was appealed from a deci
sion in circuit court favorable to the
irrigation district. Tho supremo court
remanded tho case with instructions
that tho state water board make a
lull Investigation nnd return findings
that would bring about an adjudica
tion of water right claims In the dis
trict, j
Tho decision of tho state water
board was favorablo to Irrigatlonlsts
In every instance, and tho Oregon
Lumber company and tho Pacific
Powor & Light company interposed
objections, which wore argued before
tho local court in January. Several
minor nrgumonts havo sinco been
hoard by Circuit Judge Fred VV. Wil
son. The objoctlon of tho Mt. Hood
Water company, however, Involved
tho taking of adit tonal testimony, and
it was referred back to tho stato wal
or honwl.' On rocolpt of tho board's
findings, in the Mt. Hood objoctlon,
Judge Wilson will proceed, it is stated
by local - attorneys interested in the
litigation, to reviow tho voluminous
tostlmony and render his docislon.
Tho work, however, it is expected will
roiiulro nil summer, and a decision Is
not expected boforo fall. The trans
cript of proceedings of tho water
board nnd testimony fill about 1,500
pages, and briefs filed by attorneys
require another 500 pages. The trans
cript Is the most voluminous over tlJ

Part of the decision was a victory
for employes tho board went on rec
ord ns favoring tho making of rules
for tho successful operation of the
railroads.
By United Neva
CHICAGO, April 15. In a aweop
Ing decision late Thursday, tho Unit
od States labor board uphold tho
principle of national working agree
ments between' railroads and railroad
employes.
The board ordered, however, that
the existing national working rules,
entered into botween the omployes
and tho federal rnil administration ro
to terminate oir July 1, Modifications
in the present stringent rules will bo
made and financial relief thus afford
e'd thu loads.
The board orders tho carriers and
employes of each road to hold confer
ences on working agreements, "at the
earliest possible date." Tho result of
these conferences are to bo reported
to the board, which will piwnulg.no
such rules aa It dotei mines Just and
reasonable, as soon after July '.'1, 1021,
ns Is reasonably possible."
The board reserves the right to tor
initiate the agreements before July 1
on any class of employes of airy car
rier It may see fit, and also reserves
the right to continue them after Mutt
date If It believes "any carrier Is un
duly dolnlng the progress of the ne
gotiations."
This decision virtually settles the
hitter rules controversy that has been
before tho railroad board for several
mouths. Hearings will be continued,
however, that the board may have
moro information on which to base
its final decision In July,
"The board believes that certain
rules are unduly burdensome to the
carriers and should bo modUied," the
order states. "It may bo well that
other rules should be modified In tho
interests of thu employes.
"Tho board is unable to find Mint
nil rules tmibodted In the nut to:: a!

agreements, orders of the railroad ad
ministration constitute just and fea-'
sonable rules for all carriers parlies
to the dispute. It must, therefore, re
fuse the indefinite extension of the
notional agreements on ad such car
riers as urged by the employes.
"The board alno deems It inadvis
able to terminate at qnce, Us direc
tion "of decision number two (govern
ing wage and workfng rules) and to
remand tho dispute to the individual
carlers and their employes.' Such a
course would leave many carriers and
their emplojcs wli bout .any rules reg
ulatlng working conditions.
"If the board should recommend the
dispute to the individual carriers and
their employes and should keep the di
rection of decision number two in ef
fect until agreements should be ar
rived at ,it is possible that agree
ments might not be entered into.
"The board believes nevertheless,
that certain subject matters now reg
ulated by rules of the national agree
ments are local In nature' and require
consideration of "local conditions. It
also believes that other subject mat
ters now so regulated are general In
character and that substantial uni
formity in rules regulating such sub
ject matter is desirable."
The decision, while thus making
concessions on both sides, recognizes
the prlr.jiple of national agreements
on general subjects, which was stren
uously lodght by executives. '
It also will relieve, it is predicted,
the railroads from many stringent
rules which, they claim, are costing
them millions of dollars monthly
through .excessive wages, overtime
and bonuses.
Labor groups, it was stated, re
garded the decision as one of the
greatest victories for organized labor
over won in this country.

company I was cut off from my party
by about 40 Indians, who charged
down on me, thinking that they had
easy prey. My horse was pretty well
winded by this time and they soon
got close enough to shoot their ar
rows. My horse soon gave out so that
I could not get her out of a trot and
I jumped off and took it afoot.

him to this day an arrow which struck

As no white soldiers were reported
killed in this war, tho only local trou
ble between the whites and the In
dians, Mrs. Crandall is of the opinion
that the skeletons found Wednesday
are either those of Indians, maybe
killed In this war, or of a party of
white prospectors, returning from the
Idaho country nnd killed by t:ie Dan
dlts who Infested this district in
the early days. The fact that all of
the skulls found' were crushed, would
seem to indicato.that the latter hypo
'thesis is correct, Mrs. Crandall ex
plained. The crushed skulls would
mean that all of the persons were'
killed while asleep. The McClellan
army saddle could be accounted for
by the fact that it was common cus
tom in, the early days 'for a prospector
to use his saddle as a pillow while
sleeping in the open.

BABE RUTH TOO FAT
TO SCOOP GR0UNDER8
. By Henry L. Farrell
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
NEW YORK, .April 15. Babe Ruth
.happens to be Babe. Ruth. Otherwise
he probably would be rubbing elbows
with the bench warmers.
,So far in this very brief dagh some'
where for the Yankees, the slugger
king has been an awful bust. , k
His hitting has been good euoush-
'.550, but his fielding has been .Just
about the same fifty-fifty.
With a roll around his waist that
has him about 30 pounds overweight,
the Bambino is too fat to bend over
after them and too slow to get back
under them. In company with Bob
Meusel in right and Ping vBodlo In
left the Babe is helping the Yanks to
j get the worst outfield in baseball.
When the. Bambino gets his home
run machihery in working order he
may win many games for the Yanks
but he'll lose many more if he doesn't
1'get in condition to field as he did
I last year, which, of Course,, was tkr
I from the Speaker 'variety of skill.
