That the conflict in the building trades with its outbreaks of bombings, slayinga and sluggings could hare been averted by the payment ol $100,000 to Fred Mader, presi dent of the Chicago Building Trades council, was asserted to day by Elwood God man. special prosecuting attorney, at the trial of Mader and four other labor leaders and sluggers, on charges of conspiracy to kill Police Lieu tenant Terence Lyons. ; Arrases Men of Murder In declaring in his address to the jury , that all of the men on trial Mader, Timothy D. Murphy, Dan : . McCarthy, Cornelius Shea and John ,Mlller were guilty of murder, Mr. Godman said that the state was prepared to prove that Mader personally led raids upon buildings working on tho" Landis award...; , a That McCarthy gave "Smash' Hanson, alleged laborer slugger, several sticks of dynamite with instructions as to how it was to be .used. . That the election of Mader to the head of the building trades council was accomplished through trickery and Intimidation. ; Iadrr Responsible, Charge Mr. Godman told of the beat ing of non-union workers, of lad ders being pulled out from under painters, ot bombing and slug ging which, he said, all followed the election of Mader as presi dent of the' building trades cona cil. Instances of assaults upon non-union workers, said to have, been participated in by both Ma der and Hanson, were detailed by the attorney. - During the day Miller was iden tified as the driver of the auto mobile whose occupants shot Po lice Lieutenant Lyons and Police man Thomas Clark. Miller's at torneys failed in their effort to ear out testimony involving him in plea that admissions he was said to have made to the police had been obtained by the use of force. i k ens 1 MaJ Said to Have Several Wives Must Answer to Non Support Charge Ernest Hyland, arrested last week by Constable DeLong on a warrant Issued by the district at torney's office In which Hyland is charged wfth the non-support of an alleged wife and two minor children, u will be arraigned this morning before G.

HI 01 Y HALT CONTROL WASHINGTON. July 24. (By the Associated Press.) While on the surface concrete developments in the railroad strike are lack ing in Washington today, the Im pression gained in official circles was that the situation was being rapidly "shaken down" to a point where a new move by the admin istration could be expected. Cabinet members who discussed the situation invariably declared that President Harding was in per sonal charge ot the question and though there was more than the belief that the cabinet would be called upon to consider it at the regular session tomorrow, no hint was forthcoming as to the manner in which the transportation crisis would be laid before the presi dential official family. - Strike Curtailing Business Official reports have been re ceived, it is known, giving details of the extent to which the strike has been responsible for the al most total "blanketing" of the healthy business revival in the United States and while instances of direct Interference with the United States mails have recently been conspicuously absent, postal inspectors today recorded the fur ther annulment of important mail trains. Some administration advisers who favor a drastic move by the government are known to hold the view that President Harding should demand that the railroad executives make every effort to restore interstate commerce, es pecially to the extent of abandon ing their stand on the seniority issue said to be the crux ot the whole strike Question whereup on the ""disputants would be ex pected to come together on the natter of a fair living wage -for railroad employes, conceded to be the remaining important issue. President Has Power to Act If the railroad executives re fused, it was declared, the presi dent is satisfied be has full auth ority of a duty delegated him by the constitution to maintain in terstate commerce and the mail service, it is to proceed to oper ate the roads. The president, it is understood, was assured by his advisers that his authority for decisive action, without recourse to congress, is without question. Two courses would be open to him in order to physically operate the roads, it was-said. First, he could request the strikers to return to work un der the government operation at the old wage scale and with sen iority rights restored. If this failed, then federal troops could be called upon to assure operation of the trains. DENISON, Tex., July 24.

Mr. Catlin has been oh the board of directors for a long tint and is familiar with its work and its opportunities. If the work is almost superhuman, so too is the measure of reward for carrying it to a successful completion. Griffith Leaves State if Mr. Catlin was chosen to sue ceed Irwin Griffith, who has been president for some years, but whose business has kept him out of town most of the time for many months, and who is now a permanent resident of Illinois He was rated as a capable, in tensely interested officer, but now that he la gone, an active man on the job had to be chosen. The board picked Mr. Catlin as the man test qualified for the place and elected him by a unanimous vote. Situation Commented On Speaking of the hospital jro- blem, H. S. Gila, manager of pub. liclty for the hospital association said last night: "There la nothing of greater importance to the city of Salem today than that her citizens come forward now and finish the splen did modern hospital building, the construction of which has been sp Well begun, but which is today practically standing still for want of funds. "It is not fair to the fine txidy of physicians and' surgeors In Salem that they have less than a strictly first class place In which to carry on their work- They deserve to have the most favor able conditions and appliances. Nursing School Xeeded '"It is not fair to ourselves that we are not training and turning out annually a large class of nurs es wr.o will take their places ei ther in the homes, or in the hos pitals when the need arises, and we call for their skill. With the very limited quarters now at the disposal of the Salem hospital a? sociation, only a small class can be trained, and the nurses train ing school cannot be maintained for any great length of time un less the new building is finished thereby furnishing the necessary quarters and equipment for the training of graduate nurses. "Since the beginning of the building, the board has bleu greatly assisted in having the service of Henry Meyers as the direct employed representative of the building committee. He has proved to be. a very valuable as set to the committee, in purchas ing materials and in avoiding er rors which on a Job so great as this one, might be serious and costly, and has necessitated the presence on the job of some inter ested person at all times. STrio Offer"d Fife "At the board meeting today Mr. Meyers volunteered to give his time and services free, to work with the entire board in an earn est effort to Eecure a sufficient amount of money to complete the first unit at the earliest posrible moment. "The building so far as it has been completed cannot be sur passed for the purpose for which it was constructed. It is all realy for the interior finish, the lrag-it-ficent heating system Is now being installed, and there is enough money on hand to complete this part ot the work. The building is as nearly fireproof as buildings may be made, and when this is a finished hospital. It will be an in stitution of which this city and every citizen contributing to St will rave good reason to be proud. OIL TAKES DROP SAN FRANCISCO.

T HOSPITAL OLD WEST IS BACK; STAGE IS HELD UP Masked Men, Heavily Armed Line Up Passengers and Driver Miss Money TWIN PALLS. Idaho, July 24. With suns levelled and gunny sacks over their heads to serve as masks, two men held up the Oak-ley-Vipont stage about 35 miles southeast of Twin Falls, early this afternoon, lined up the only passengers, a man and a boy, and the driver, and after a cursory examination of' the contents of the vehicle, escaped Into the near by hills after cutting the wiring on the machine. The holdup took place in the canyon on the road to Vipont at a point about 11 miles out ot Oakley. The mail sack contained the pay checks for the' Vipont mine, but these . were untouched by the robbers. Heretofore it has been the custom to send between $2000 and 13000 in currency into the camp along with the payroll in order that there might be money with which to cash the checks. Owing to this being pio neer day and a holiday, the bank at Oakley failed to ship the cur rency. A posse of ten men scouring the surrounding country and, an airplane engaged in giving exhi bition flights at Oakley has been pi eased into service and Is aiding In the search, so far without re sults.
