wasn't in a talking mood. If

Willamette Feel Lou.
Willamette feels that it is los
ing a real asset. There are pre
judiced undergraduates who
would trade off a whole assort
ment of presidents and deans and
mathematics profs and almost
everything elso on the curricu
lum, to keep Coach Mathews-
like tbe patriot who wanted to
sacrifice all his wife's relations
to the war.
Mr. Mathews left Tuesday for
Seattle to look over his new field.
He may not even return to Sa
lem. If the work there calls for
his immediate action. His many
friends here regret to see him
leave, though all are gratified
that he has found a broader field
for his services.

The body of Angus Living
ston Kinnsey, 13 years old,
wa.s found by searchers in the
north fork of tbe Santiam riv
er at a point about one mile
west of Stayton yesterday. In
vestigation indicated that the

which for the past two months
has been swollen as a result of
the spring freshets.

that the boys had visited the Me

Although a systematic search
was made for tbe boys neither or

At least 54 4 car of tourists

J report of Superintendent T. G.
Albert. This is in unusual contrast
to the number of cars that took
advantage of the grounds from
May 17 until May 31, the first
two weeks after the opening of
tbe grounds last year.
Four hundred and twenty-six of
tbe total number last month reg
istered as tourists while 118 car

hundred cars spent Sundays at the
grounds and 18 were there on Me
morial day.
California licenses appeared
most among the 426 cars that reg
istered, 145 registering from that
state. This is due, not to the fact
that so many California people are
already traveling, but that east

winter in that state are starting
on an early return to their homes.

Pay Reductions Vary From

f ' Cover Wide Range !
anCAGO, May 31(By
The Associated Press An
estimated $400,000,000 will be
slashed from the nation' an
nual railway wage bill when
order cutting wages an av- ,
erage of 12 per cent to be
handed down tomorrow by the
United States railroad labor,
board becomes effective June
if The order affects rrTembers
of 31 labor organizations, em-,
ployed on 104 railroads.
f While the decrease is spe
cifically applied only to the
roads whose cases have been
heard by the board, the decis
ion says it may later be ap
plied to any other road ask
ing a hearing under provis
ions of the transportation act.
p Redaction Computed.
$ Percentages of reductions
computed by members of the
board gave the average of .12
per cent, and the same source -estimated
the annual reduc-
tion in wages at approximate
ly $400,000,000.
UThe decision brought reduc
tions varying from 5 to 13
cejits an hour or from 5 to 18
per, cent, and in the case of .
section laborers wiped out the
increase granted them by the
$600,000,000 wage award of
July 20, 1920. For section men
the reduction was approxi-t
mately 18 per cent or from
$3.70 to $3.02 per day.
Cuts Are General
Switchmen and shop crafts
were given a 9 per cent re
duction while train service
men were cut approximately
7 per cent. Car repairers were
cut about 10 per cent.
Common Jabor pay, over
which the railroads made
their hardest fight, is to be
reduced 6 to 9Vfe cents an
hoiir, cutting freight truckers
average monthly wages to
$97.10 and track laborers to
$77.11. This new schedule
still gives section men an av
erage daily wage of $358 for
art eight-hour' day, although
considerable testimony of
fered by the roads showed
common labor wages as low
as $1.50 for 10 hours.
Shop crafts employes and
