Charles Adams was the name
by which the young man who was
accidentally killed Monday morn
ing near llazelau station was fa
miliarly known, although his real
name was Charles James, the
name used with the publication
of the accident. Adams is his
mother's present name, which is
the reason he usually was known
by that name.
The young man was 33 years
old and formerly lived here with
his mother at Twenty-third and
Lee streets. Young men who at
tended school with him have
asked that publication t" made
of the fact that he was known as
Adams in hope that his mother
or father can in this way be lo
cated. It is believed the mother
lives in Portland, but so far she
has not been located and does not
know of h?r son's death. Fune
ral arrangements will be held up
for a time in the hope that his
parents may be Informed.
Adams and Al Jernian, promi
nent farmer, met death at the
same time when thoir automo
bile was struck by an Oregon
Electric train.
It 'Is believed Adams also has
relatives in Albany.

CHICAGO. March 8. Union
leaders representing more than
100.000 workers in the packing
industry In all parts of the coun
try, departed for Omaha tonU-ht
to attend a two-day meeting which
opens tomorrow to consider the
decrease in wages and readjust
ment of working hours which
were announced by the packer to
day to become effective March 14.
Charging that the packers were
trying to force a national strike,
"because, having forced livestock
prices to the lowest level in years
and having filled their warehouses
they want a 60-day shutdown so
that they can unload this supply
on the public at high prices." the
employes representatives said
that the workers were prepared to
oppose "restoration of the ten
hour day to the last ditch."
Denn:s Lane, of the Amalga
mated Meat Cutters and Butcher
Workers' Union, said the an
nounced wage reductions would
eventually amount to about 40 per
cent.
"The packers are trying to take
on the new help at the 30 cents an
hour rate," ho said. "This is a re
duction Qf 23 cents and makes a
reduction of 40 per cent. The
packers are contemplating taking
on as much help at the 30 cent
rate as possible and then laying
off the older help. The older help
will then be re-employed at the
new scale."
The packers declared paid em
ployes would probably earn as
much or more under the proposed
scale than they did under tne pres
ent wage scale, and .insisted that
the adjustment of working hours
did not mean the return to the 10
hour day. but only that extra pay
would not be made except io" lime
over 10 hours.
"We are In sympathy with the
short work day and fair wage the
ories and our problem is to attune
thcKe theories as nearly as possible
to the actualities which we en
counter In dealing with producers
and consumers." said a statement
Issued by J. Ogden Armour, head
of Armour and company.

RATES II LIKELY
Railroad Situation Not
Good As In December
So
WASHINGTON, March 8.
The general railroad situation af
fords little prospect of general
decreases in freight rates. Chair
man Clark of the Interstate com
merce commission today Informed
Senator Harris of Georgia.
Chairman Clark said:
"The situation 1 not so rood
as In December. There has been
a falling orf in general traffic.
For every dollar that the rail
roads earn, they pay out; more
than 09 rents. Due to this nar
row margin a good many are not
even earning the'r operating ex
penses. "It Is difficult to rind an argu
ment In favor of reducing rates
unless it can be shown that rates
are Stirling the traffic and that
lower rates would effect a move
ment from which there would be
some returns."

first party that makes tat
attempt." raid Mr. Monugaler.
"In my opinion it will take yean,
each party- profiting by the ex
perience acquired by its prede
cessors and each gaining a thos
sand or more feet on the prmois .
record. .
"One thing Is certain, and that
Is that the conquest of the airi
est peak in the world will be far
la the way the most terrlfte test
of endurance human beings fcava
ever undergone. The Journey ta
the North or South Poles, as far
as physical effort and moral cow
age are concerned, wonld be mere
child's play compared with the as
cent of a mountain mors thaa
29.000 feet high.
"Whether t is possible for nits
to attain an altitude of 29.149
fret on the earth's surface with
out the aid of an airplane Is a
question which, to my mind, caa
only be solved by actual experi
ence. The highest altitude yet
attained Is about 24.&00 feet.
"We know that the tnbr of
feet an active climber-can ascent
per hour diminishes rapidly with
the altitude. Thus up to 1S.00
feet an average climber caa as
cend about 1000 feet an hoar
or. easy gronnd without exhasst
ins himself. Above 23.000 feet
the ascensional rate falls below
300 feet an hour even for ex
ceptionally strong climbers. What
It would .b at 27.009 feet, no oca
can say without experience.
"Fartics have succeeded la
camping at 23.000 feet. Settlac
out from that altitude, and as
suming thst the snow Is In good
condition and that the party is
not suffering from mountain ilck
ns, 1 should say that they might
succeed la attaining aa altitude
of 2,000 In 10 or 12 hours hard
work. In order to reach lbs sum
mit of Everest they would prob
ably have to camp at say 23.010,
23.000 and 27.000 feet. It ia quite
possible, and Indeed very prob
able, that at the highest camps,
they would be suffering from tin
ratified air and high altitude Va
pidity which undermines one's
nerve terribly, to such an' extent
that further progress would be
Impossible.
