night, unless some councilman has
something under hla hat that he
has not yet brought out into day

If more of the councilmen show
up to attend this meeting, H is
not anticipated that there will be
much trouble la reconsidering the
milk bill and passing It, as Alder
man Thompson was alone in op
posing it two weeks ago. Since
there were only seven other coun
cilmen on hand when the Tote "was
taken, Thompson's "no" rote was
sufficient to prevent the bill's pas
sage. Two councilmen changed
-their votes to "no" immediately
afterward, in order that they
might be In position to more to
reconsider.
Objection Not Outlined
Just what Alderman Thompson's
objections were, he did not dis
close other than to say the bill
would put the one cow dairymen
out of business. To forestall such
an objection, the council had
changed the provision for a f S fee
to $1 per cow with a maximum of

Grocery clerks in Salem are a
busy class of people, judging from
the disclosures made, in a recent
survey made by Miss Teruye Ots
sukl aast'Mtss Ruth ' Burch, stu
dents in the economies department
of Willamette university, under
the. supervision of Dr. S. B
Laughlin. There are 7 1 grocery stores in
Salem, and approximately 16S
grocery clerks, counting the pro
prietors who serve the customers
themselves. Estimating the city's
population at 26,500. there is a
grocery store, large or small, for
every 335 persons, not counting
the trading territory outside the
city; and each grocery clerk takes
care of the needs of 15C people,
likewise leaving out of considera
tion the out of town shoppers.
Proprietors were asked how
long they had owned their stores,
how many telephones they had,
how many clerks employed,
whether they were members of a
chain organization, and bow much
they advertised. The results of
this survey were tabulated, and
the location of each store plotted
on a map of the city; the whole
project forming a very Interesting
piece of original research work.
The average length of present
ownership of all the 79 grocery
stores In March was slightly over
four years and three months.
Ten of the stores had no tele
phones at all; five had two
phones, one bad three, and the
rest each had one phone.
Sixty-three firms were indepen
dent of any chain organization,
leaving the others with affilia
tions as follows: 10 were mem
bers of retail chains, and: four
were members of a chain doing
business in Salem alone.
The comparison of advertising
activity was interesting. Twenty-
eight said they advertised regu
larly; 19 advertised very little or
just occasionally. Four relied on
handbills and circulars, and 28 did

CONDIT GETS NEW DELAY
Sentencing Postponed Because
Judge Walker Busy Elsewhere
The fates are kind to Ross Con-
dit.
Having pleaded guilty to a
statutory charge which is more
than a year old, and time having
arrived for Imposition of sentence.
the time was yesterday postponed
until August 3 at 11 a. m.
The reason for this delav Is that
Circuit Judge Arlie Walker, who
was scheduled to try the case, is
now In southern Oregon on an
other case and could not be pres
ent to impose sentence.
At the time Condit was to have
been tried Judge Kelly, who
would ordinarily have tried the
case, was taking Judge Walker's j
place at McMinnville and Judge
Walker was presiding over circuit
court here. This resulted in Judge
Walker instead of Judge Kelly be
ing the one to impose sentence.
Circuit court will continue here
tomorrow with the case Boulin vs.
Pettyjohn, which is based on al
leged slander.
Two cases are set for Tuesday
morning. Miles vs. Looney and
Berry vs. Evans. The case. Bur
nett vs. Robertson is set for Tues

TEACHER JOBS AT EBB
Unemployment Greatest Yet; For

Aiore . teacners in uregon are
now out of employment than at
any time in the history of the
state, according to reports sub
mitted at the annual meeting of
the board of state normal school
reports 'here.
. The, unsatisfactory situation
was said to be due to the Influx
into Oregon of teachers from
distant states. .
Members of the board expressed
themselves as favoring a higher
standard for teachers employed In
Oregon, and giving eamlnations
similar to those required in some
other states. . Such an innovation.
It was said, would protect the Or
egon teacher and at the same
time increase the efficiency of
the Oregon schools. :
V Legislation along this line prob
ably will be sought at the next ses
sion of the legislature which con
venes here in January.

"Social conditions throughout

the return of the Baloon, which

CHICAGO, HI., Jnly 14. (AP)
Bodies of three men were taken
this afternoon from the under
ground tomb, a new mile long
sewer tunnel where they were
trapped by a flood of water Just
before last midnight.
Fear that four other workmen
had met death by the triple men
ace of drowning, asphyxiation or
electrocution was abandoned after
a squad of firemen searched the
tunnel and found only three bo
dies.
Four or the men who were
working In the bore, had not
claimed the clothes and lunch
pails they left above the ground
this afternoon and this led author
ities to believe they were among
the -victims.
Arrest of Richard Keating, a
sanitary district employe who
through an error, la believed to
have turned on the 'valve that
loosed the flood, was ordered.
The hero of the tragedy was
the gang "straw" boss, Carl Chi
aro. He heard the cries of warn
ing as the flood came roaring
down the tube, heard the scram
ble for the ladder and was him
self the first to reach safety.
Then came a thought of his men.
swirling away to death, he climb
ed down the ladder, hauled seven
men, one after another, up to the
surface and then went down to
be swept into the stream as he
reached for another companion.
Throughout the night and day
fire engines worked to pump out
the water. By noon the depth
bad been lowered to three and one
half feet, but the hopes of rescue
squads were balked by deadly
pookets of carbon monoxide gas
and the peril of electrocution
from a short circuited high ten
sion cable.
It was 1:30 before the firemen,
protected by gas masks dared go
into the tube to begin the search
which resulted in the finding of
the three bodies.
An employe inhe Calumet City
pumping plant was electrocuted
when he became excited at the
report the bodies had been found,
and touched a high voltage wire
in the power house.- -

were based on articles printed in

"In my speech at Olathe I said
that these measures (which Smith
was accused of supporting) were
probably riders to otherwise satis
