IflflEITE
GOOD
COACHES
Basler,. Jackson and Others
do Well as High School
' Football Mentors
Three of the Willamette stars
In basketball and football, who
were graduated in the class of
1921, are coaching successful
teams this fall In other places.
Loren Basler. for years one of
the bright lights in the college
athletic life, is head of the ath
letics at Athena. Or., where his
School team recently administered
a drubbing or 101 to 0 to the
Colombia college team of Mil
ton.
Jackson, of the formidable bas
ketball quintet, is coachine the
McMlnnvllle football team that a
week atro defeated Salem hieh
with a score of 9 to 7.
Russell Rarey is teaching them
how to nut it over at Centralia.
with no Terr definite line on his
success, But the Bearcats say
that if the Centrallans will fol
low him in the kind of football
and basketball he showed in Wil
lamette, a successful season is
certain.
Paul Brown, class of 1920, is
coach' at Woodburn. His eleven
recently gave up the ghost to Mc
Minnville by a very small score,
but they were going against the
Jackson machine that walloped
Salem high.
Wapato, for years he depend
able basketball and football star
of the Bearcats, is coaching Lin
coln high in Portland. "Wap"
used to take tba place of about
three ordinarily good men at the
end of a football line, and his
cat-like agility and sure strength
made him a tower of strength in
basketball.
Basketball is to begin in daad
earnest within the next week;
not 'varsity team activities, but
a series of class and miscellane
ous games to locate the promising
material for the big events later
in the year. The lines are to be
marked on the armory floor this
week, and the indoor boys will
be able to go to It in force with
in the next few days.
Three of last year's letter men
are again in college McKittrlck,
Gillette and Dimick. Hugh Doney,
Walter Socolofsky and Frank Lo
gan, all of whom have had good
experience in Willamette, are ex
pected to be contenders for places
on the quintet. Some flashy new
material is known to be on hand,
so that there is no definite plac
ing of the team until the prelim
inaries sift out the diamonds
from the dust. The Bearcats have
starred In basketball, even if they
haven't done quite so much on
the gridiron. They have been
putting out some of the fastest

The lnterclass cross-country run
is scheduled for a week from Fri
day, which will be November 4.
Teams of five men from each
class will compete over a two
mile course.
The prize, a silver loving cup,
has to be won for two years in
succession. Th3 class of 1921
carried it off for the second time
last fall, and now it is in the
class possession for pood. A new
one will have to be provided for
this fall's race. No serious prep
aration has been made for thK
the first of all the lnterclass riv
alries of the year. The entries
will be made on previous records,
or on the applicant's own admis
sions of prowess. With the fresh
man class so largely outnumber
ing any othed class in the uni
versity, they will have a wealth
if material to choose from, and
they are expected to give the win
ners at least a heartache if not
a trouncing.

RAIL STRIKE IS OFF
! BY VOTE OF UNIONS
(Continued from page 1)
probably would be a recital of
events leading up to the confer
ence, and then a mere statement
that the "board sees nothing fur
ther to do," members said. The
decision probably will be issued
about 10 o'clock tomorrow im
mediately after the telegrams
calling off the strike are sent out
by the heads of the unions. These
are scheduled to be filed at 9 a.m.
Railroad union leaders tonight
refused to say what effect their
action in calling off the strike
would have on the walkout of
COO trainmen on the Internation
al & Great Northern railroad, a
Teas line.
"We haven't had time to get
to that yet," one union executive
said.
Officials Elated
J. H. Elliott of the rail group
of the railroad labor board, when
informed that there would be no
strike at this time, said:
'I am very much gratified at
the good judgment exhibited by
the men. To say any more would
just be shooting the bull."
William H. Finley, president of
the Chicago & Northwestern, at
his home, said:
"I am very glad to hear that;
it will certainly be a relief to
everyone."
Samuel Felton. president of the
Chicago Great Western, said:
"I expected that. I don't care
to say any more tonight.
History of Clah Told j
Decision of the railroad labor
board on July 1 authorizing rail
roads to reduce wages of their
emloyes an average of 12 per
cent was the first event in the se
ries which led up to the orders
for a general strike by six unions.
When this decision was ren
dered, a majority of the rail un
ions oegan taking votes on its ac
ceptance. In every case the un
ion vote was overwhelmingly for
a strike rather than accept a wage
cut, although on some lines, not
ably the Pennsylvania, there were
divisions where groups of workers
voted not to strike.
Friction Encountered.
now for a new vote," said Mr.
Lee.
Good Pay Is Hope
Union leaders said that the res
olution adopted by the labor
board announcing that no further
wage reduction petitions for any
one group of employes would be
considered until rules and work
ing conditions for that group had
been settled,; was 'decidedly in
strumental" in bringing about
the action calling off the walkout.
They declared that they believed
under this resolution It would be
months befre their pay again
could be reduced.
The union resolution immedi
ately was communicated to the
labor board and proved particu
larly gratifying to Walter Me
Menimen, member of the labor
group who was instrumental in
bringing about the settlement of
the crisis.
McMehimen Paved Way
Mr. McMenimen, a personal
friend of Mr. Lee and a former
trainman, paved the way for con
ferences between the board and
union men, particularly those to
day which were addressed by Ben
Hooper, member j of the public
group.
"I am immensely gratified,"
said Mr, McMenimen, when in
formed of the employes' action.
"It takes a ; great worry off my
mind and I am sure it will be
best for all.''
Mr. Hooper expressed himself
as "tickled to death" over the
cancellation of the walkout or
der. Nation Approval Seen
"I am glad the railroad em
ployes have taken such wise ac
tion." he said.
"They have taken a step which
they will never regret and which
will bring them approval from
every one in this country.
"A railroad strike at this time
would have been more disastrous
than the Civil war. It would have
brought on almost inconceivable
hardships for everyone.
"I am particularly glad that the
world armament conference now
can go about its work in the capi
tal of a nation which is not torn
by an Internal industrial dis
pute." Decision to iJMild
Members of the labor board
said that the action of the labor
leaders meant "that the board's
decision on yesterday's conference
Ifatween the board, the unions
and the railroads, to determine
if the transportation act had been
violated in the strike activities,
would be decidedly mild."
The board, which today in
formed the unions that this de
cision would -'handle them with
ungloved hands" It they did not
call off the strike by morning,
would take the attitude now thai
the dispute had been settled an J
that consequently the matted
again was out of its hands, mem
bers said.

iug oi tne ballot, however,
developed some signs of friction
among some unions. W. G. Lee,
president of the brotherhood of
railroad trainmen, withdrew from
a meeting of the four brotherhood
chiefs when other groups included
in their ballots such questions as
rules and working conditions. Mr.
Lee held that it was illegal to vote
on anything but the already au
thorized wage cut and sent sep-!
arate ballots to his men in which
the wage question was the only
one 'mentioned.
Leaders of the big four broth
erhoods trainmen, conductors,
engineers and firemen met In
Chicago to decide what action
should be taken. On October 15
it was announced that the chiefs
had decided to authorize a walk
out beginning October 30 and ex
tending progressively in four dis
tinct movements until virtually
every road would be covered. The
switchmen's union of North Amer
lea immediately announced it
would join the big four.
Strike Order Issued.
Tlie night of this announce
ment heads ot virtually all 11
"standard" unions the American
Federation of Labor group which
is independent of the brother
hoods declared that they "saw
notlilng to do but obey the wishes
of their men and authorize them
to walk out with the brotherhoods
and the switchmen."
Some leaders of these unions
were more conservative, however.
and later one Of them B. M.
Jewell, president of the railway
employes department, American
Federation of Labor, which is
comprised of the shop crafts un
ions announced he would fight
tooth and nail to avert a walkout
by the 11 standard unions." These
groups had called meetings of
their executive officers during the
week following the brotherhoods
strike announcement to take final
action.
Chiefs Called In.
At this point, however, a few
days after the "big five" strike
call the labor board stepped into
the situation. The three mem
bers of it's public group who had
been summoned to Washington to
confer with the president, an
nounced their plan to avert the
strike no further reduction of
wages and immediate reduction
of rates by the roads and accept
ance of the July 1 wage decrease
by tlie unions. Both roads and
unions immediately declared the
plan impossible.
The board then called the un
ion chiefs into a conference at
Chicago and, pending this confer
ence, the eleven "standard" uu
ions deferred action.
Failure Was Feared
Nothing developed and it was
bel eved that the government,
through the board, had failed iu
its efforts to avert the strike. The
board then, however, formally an
nounced it "isumer full jurisdic
tion over the rail crisis and or
dered the unions not to strike
pending a board hearing to wh'ch
the unions and the roads were
cited to determine if the transpor
tation act had been violated in tne
strike activities."
Executives of the shop crafts,
representing 600,000 men, then
announced they would not autho
r ze a walkout, explaining that
they did not consider the time
auspicious and that the brother
hoods had refused to agree to
stand by them through a strike.
This was the first break and
others followed rapidly until all
of the 11 "standard" unions ex
cept the Order of Railway Tele
graphers had refused to authorize
a strike. This left the "b g five"
and the telegraphers with only
one fourth of the nation's rail
employes alone in their plans for
a strike.
More Conferences Held
The labor board hearing was.
held Wednesday. It adjourned
when the unions at the instiga
tion of the board, requested per
mission to confer with their chair
men. These conferences were held to
day. Som were addressed by Ben
W. Hooper, public member of he
board, who, with Walter McMeni
men. labor: member, is given most
of the credit by board members
for averting1 the strike. They led
up to the "big five's" final ac
tion. On last Saturday, however, 600
tra nmen on the Internationl &
Great Northern began a strike.
This strike had been authorized
previous to the "big four" strike
call.
What the settlement there will
be is not known.
(government Irenare!
ne government while acting
formally through the labor board,
completed plans to combat a
strike, these plans including pro-
posed legal act on on the grounds
that a strike would violate con
spiracy laws The board informed ,
the labor groups' a few hours be
fore the latter's decision that it
had word from Washington that
"every govermental agency would
be used in combatting a strike."

This decision vitally concerns
Portland and Seattle jobbers in
reaching each other's trade terri
tory, including Gray's Harbor,
Willapa Harbor, Willamette val
ley and all intermediate points.
Originally the first-class rate
per 100 pounds in less than car
lots was 1 87 1-2 cents, which is
low, based on potential but not
actual water competition. When
all rates were advanced 2 5 per
cent in August, 1920, this basic
rate went up. to 47 cents. It was
proposed later by the carriers to
advance the first class rate of
87 1-2 cents, other class rates to
go up proportionately, but when
objection of shippers became so
strong the tariff, known as the
Henry tariff 1-B, was withdrawn
and a basic rate of 75 cents sub
stituted. That tariff is now under
suspension pending the action of
the interstate commerce commission.
Both the Oregon and Washing
ton public service commissions are
concerned in the proposed rate In
creases insofar as intrastate traf
fic is concerned.
A factor entering Into the con
sideration of this case is the prob
ability by reason of higher rail
rates that San Francisco jobbers
may be able to use steamships to

Right at this time, when every
woman is interested in prices,
when she is especially anxious to
make a saving in her purchases,
goods sold at pre-war prices sure
ly make a strong appeal.
"Twenty-five ounces for 25
cents" same price for over 30
years is the price one of the
well-known advertised brands ot
baking powder is being sold at by
all the principal grocers through
out the country.
The fact that the government
bought millions of pounds of K t:
Baking powder speaks volumes
for its quality and the manufac
turers are the proud possessors
of an "Award for Distinguished
Service" presented by the govern
ment for service rendered during
the war.
The grocers of Salem should en
joy a splendid sale on this bak ng
powder, being a quality product
and sold at a fair price, it points
the way to economy for every
housewife in this vicinity. This
is especially true since the manu
facturers advertise that "you use
less" than of higher priced
manufacturers are telling the rea
brands. Through their advertising the
manufacturers are telling readers
ders of The Statesman ot the mer

they are to be commended for
the policy they have pursued dur
