STRIKE HITS
Coast Steamships and Auto
Trucks Seek to Relieve
Passenger Traf fib
LOS ANGELES. Aug. 11.
Southern California felt today for
the ftrst time the full impact of
the strike of railroad shopmen
which has spread on the big San
ta Fe lines centering in Los An
geles to include members of the
"Big Four" brotherhoods, engin
eers, firemen, conductors and
brakemen and had thereby resist
ed in the almost complete tieup of
the Santa Fet transportation work
and a very marked retarding of
freight handlings.
These were the principal effects
of the new rftuatlon. Coupled
with it were the' marooning ol
12 transcontinental lines at des
ert points,' where" from 2200 to
2600 passengers waited with what
patience they could muster ' for
their Interrupted journeys to be
resumed; an announcement by
postal authorities that mails
would be moved north and south
by boat and east by motor trucks;
an embargo on perishable freight
over Santa Fe lines; and an euort
by stage companies' to do what
they could to aid the traveling
public in doing away with seat
reservations, abandoning sched
ules and adopting the . plan .of
sending out a stage on any . route
whenever there was a load for it.
The Southern Pacific lines in
the southland were not affected
today. Its trains were moving
aboat as usual.
i At Needles, the passengers of
three tied i Up trains Invaded the
Harvey House and made the. best
of the situation. They, informed
Santa Fe men there that they ap
proved the stand of the trainmen
and, did not like to see guards
around, so in deference to their
wishes the guards were removed
and put in a "bull pen,r pendens
the departure of the trains.
Coast steamer lines reported
decided increase In 1 the demand
for accommodations today. Scv
eral vessels scheduled to leave the
harbor tonight and tomorrow for
j points north were reported to hate
lull passenger lists.

SALT LAKE, Aug. 11. Mem
bers of the Brotherhood of Loco

The situation In Salt Lake and
at Pocatello is little affected by
the walkout, but at Ogden train
movements are held up. Today
two Southern Pacific, one Oregon
Short Line and .one Union Pacific
passenger train failed to move
and brotherhood officials there
state that as soon as other trains
come to Ogden they, to will tie
up, as tnere win De no urem
to take them out again.
This afternoon upward of 50
additional firemen failed to go on
duty at the Southern Pacific Og
den yards and it Is claimed that
traffic from Ogden west to Carllh.
Nev.i will be. affected.'
The Ogden workers failed to
report, union officials said, be

FORD CARAVAN
Exhibition of Power Machin
ery for Farms Makes His
tory on Tour
"Residents' of Salem are due to
witness an attraction of real merit
and one that la, wholly different
from anything they have ever seen
before," said W. U Phillips of the
Valley Motor company, in discus
sing the Ford and Fordon power
exposition caravan which will vis
it Salem Friday and Saturday.
August 18 and 19, remaining over
Sunday on Its return to Portland
after a highly successful tour of
southern Oregon towns.
"A dozen or more of America's
greatest manufacturers of auto
motive appliances are associated
in this enterprise," continued, Mr.
Phillips, "and the caravan embra
ces practically every automotive
utility in the power farming, com
mercial and Industrial field, not
to mention a number, of power
driven specialties of peculiar in
terest to women. , , .
ConcertsVle)ular
''The rad la coVVts form an en
tertainment fttot that has prov
en immensely, pop'nlar, as are the
Tree movie shows. , Tie latter are
changed from night to night and
consist of innumerable and widely
varied subjects of an educational
and entertaining character.
"The Ford owners parade Is
still another interesting and a in us
ing portion of the show. In some
of the smaller towns south of Sa
lem there have been from 60 to
100 entries in each of the several
Ford day parades, and we natur
ally anticipate a much larger
parade at Salem, many fine prizes
being offered. No entry fee Is
charged and any Ford owner Is
eligible to compete. It Is possi
ble; also, for a single entry to win
more than one prize."
Salem Is Expectant
Elaborate arrangements for the
reception of the caravan are be
ing made, and it Is believed that
Salem, being the largest city in
the valley, will have by long odds
the greatest celebration of them
all. Personal invitations have
been sent broadcast throughout
the country and from present in
dications, a huge attendance
seems certain. t " ' .
The Ford caravan is not ... ex
clusively a power farming show,
however. There Is a considerable
amount of contracting and miscel
laneous industrial eauinment.
fsuch as lan dclearlng machinery,
road building tools, machines and
implements, heavy duty trucks,
and other apparatus, the whole
amounting to about one hundred
pieces of equipment. .
Daily Outlay-Heavy
The property invtstment in the
caravan is said to approximate
$100,000, and the daily operating
expense is more than $500. Thirty-fire
skilled mechanics and a
number of technical experts In
their respective fields accompany
the show. .
