Protest is Entered
Against Prohibition
Measure by Labor
WASHIXCTCOX. June 14.
Organized labor, briaging to
congress today in a public dem
onstration its protest against
prohibition-of beer and wine,
gave warning that tht tranquil
ity of tle working classes might
be , ser iously menaced ry en
forcement of the war-time pro
hibition law.
Samuel Gompers. head of the
Anw-iican Federation of Labor.
Raid he was "apprfht-nsive of
results, fearing labor would not
adjust itself to the new condi
tions. Vhil he declarfd Jabor lead
ers would do everything they
could to. control the situation,
he was unable to say "what in
dividual workers will do."
In a three hour meeting on
the eastern steps of the capital,
other advocates of wine and
beer prohibition repeal protest
ed that the provision was strik
ing at the personal liberty of
the masses and was taking from
millions of workers an accus
tomed part of their daily food.
Although union officials pre
viously had estimated more than
100.000 worker's would take
part in the protest, the crowd
did not . fill the capitol plaza.
Among them were more than
'100 women of the ftnti-prohibi-tion
league, -organized in alti
more and led by Mrs. E. Rooney
"of San Fraacisco, who threw the
meeting into a monetary tumult
by mounting the speakers table
and shouting that it would take
' a woman to "put across" per
sonal liberty in the Unite
States.

RAILROAD 'WINS ACTION
Public Service Commission
Holds Sign Post Not Needed
at North Capitol Crossing
If the city ot Salem- will enforce
Its speed ordinances there will be
no need of a warning signal of any
kind across the Southern Pacific
tracks on North Capitol street, de
clares. the public service commission
in an order signed yesterday. dis
missing the complaint of tbcty of
Salem against the Southe-n Pacific
company.
'The City of Salem filed complaint.
asking that a wig wag signal. system
be installed at this point where the
Falls City branch crosses North Cap
itol' street. The ctty alleged this to
be one of the mist uanseroue rail
road crossings in the city.
"While it appears that. several ac
cidents have occured at thla inter
section., it Is ur opinion that these
accidents were due to other causes
than the phvsical condition of th
crossing Itself, and incidentally, mat
ters which are to some extent- with
in the powe- of the plaintiff to rem
edy." reads the- order.
"Owing Ito the Improvement of
Capitol street and the absence of
street intersections for a consider
able distance north of Union street
there li a great tendency on the
nart of automobile drivers to speed
up and pass over . the crossing in
question at a rate of speed greater
than the city ordinances allow and
nmrh faster than is conducive to
safety. Furthermore, although an
ample view may be had of approach
ing trains, very few automooue ariv
ers take the precaution of looking,
and if they will not look nothing we
mav do can protect them. It is also
true that a moving fain should be
seen more easily than a wig-wag
signal, which device Is Intended for
use only where the view of approach
ing trains is badly obstructed.
"It mav well be said that the citv
of Salem Is scarcely in a position to
complain of any hazard that may ex
ist at the crossing here Involved. Un
der , the" provisions of the law it is
required to place and maintain at
all crossings within the city advance
warning signs, and is subject to a
penalty for failure to ao so. un
Ma-rh. 8. 1918. the common -council
of Salem by resolution petitioned
this body for relief from Installing
such signs at various crossing with
in the city, among which was In
cluded the crbssing involved in this
proceeding. Aft?r an investigation
an order was issued relieving the
city as to certain of the crossings
but not br to the one here con
cerned. However, without any au
thority whatever, these !gns have
since been -temoved.. We would most
emphatically suggest that the pro
vlslona of this act b complied with
and these signs re-Installed at this
crossing at' once.' i
