Two months have been allowed for the determination of a price. The public works administra tion has allotted $2,560,000 to the city of Salem for the develop ment of a municipal water system. Long litigation has marked the city's efforts to purchase the plant. City officials here were unad vised last night as to the nature of the water arbitration confer ence held at Portland. While City Attorney Chris J. Kowhs said he had understood Fowler also would attend the meeting, his absence was taken to mean that the on ginal arbitration plan of proce dure might be carried out. That was that the city and company appointees should seek to arrive at agreement on the price and then. If they could not do so, they should call in Fowler as an im partial mediator. The arbitration agreement has been signed by the company at Us San, Francisco offices and for warded to the Chase National bank, its trustee.

It was revealed yesterday by E. G. Burrell, chairman of the legislative committee of the Salem Trades and Labor council. Burrell said the council had in structed his committee to con slder the advisability of such i move and to outline the neces sary procedure and a tentative charter amendment proposal. The annual salary for the city executive now being considered for inclusion in the measure is 12400. A preliminary draft of the initiative proposal was sub mitted yesterday to City Attorney Chris J. Kowlts for his recom mendation as to form. Burrell stated the proposition had first been given attention before the primary election last May. when a city manager form of government was proposed but lost to the primary ballot by council rejection. Numerous per sons at that time spoke favorably of the full-time executive Idea, he declared. The present proposal consti tutes a criticism ot the old sys tem rather than of the men who have Eerved as mayor, Burrell averred. "We believe the city would have a more efficient government with a mayor paid for his servic es than with a man who gives something for nothing," he said. Labor is taking the Initiative because no one else seemed to want to do bo." Petitions to place the meas ure on the ballot would require 1447 signatures, and would have to be filed 30 days before the election. The labor council committee will meet at 7:30 o'clock next Monday night at Union hall to take up the matter further. Its membership includes Joseph Dar by of the carpenters' union, Phil Hp Fisher of the textile workers and Shannon Hogue of the teach ers. Burrell Is a member of the painters' local. ,IS T No action In sympathy with the strikers at the Swift & Co. plant In Portland was evident at the Valley Packing company plant here yesterday, and it is consid ered entirely likely the local union will confine Its efforts to a boy cott of products of Swift & Co. H. E. Barker, president of the Salen. local of the meat carters and batcher workers union, said yesterday he had word from the international representative in Portland that the Portland strike was gaining more strength than had been anticipated, and that 98 per cent of the skilled mechanics from the Swift plant were out on strike. With but one or two exceptions, Salem merchants yesterday were reported to have refused to heed the appeals of union meat work ers to decline handling products of Swift & Co. The drive to elimin ate Swift products here was an outgrowth of the strike at the Swift, plant in Portland. p. m., so that the public could inspect the Chevrolet sedan, look over the General Jumbo tires fur nlshed by Bill Watklns of Jim & Bill service station, to see that there was no trick apparatus or connections or dummy driver, that would assist Thompson in driving, Promptly at 8 o'clock, Thomp son entered the Bishop Clothing store, completely blindfolded, the blindfold having been previously examined thoroughly by the crowd. Thompson waited on trade and answered Questions about the merchandise in the store, which proved beyond any question of a doubt that he "had some form of sight. - It was part of Hayward Thomp son's plans to pick out the most attractive lady In the Bishop Clothing store and take her ont to the Hollywood theatre-and pre sent here with a log teat as the guest of . the management to see the picture from the novel of Gene Strtton-Porter "The-Girl of the LimberloBt." The most attrac tive lady, to Thompson's mind was an elderly, motherly lady and in the rush Thompson neglected (Tun to pace 2 coL 3). NO PICKING STRIKE Lindberghs Say Nothing About Case LOS ANGELES, Sept 20.-(P)- While the nation was electrified today with news of the arrest of a suspect in the Lindbergh baby kidnaping. Col. and Mrs. Charles Lindbergh, the child's parents, re mained In seclusion here and gave no public comment of the case. Their exact whereabouts in the Los Angeles area was closely guarded by friends and rumors that the famous flier had been in contact with TWA line offi cials or that he was at the home of Mrs. Aubrey Morgan, a sister of Mrs. Lindbergh, in Pasadena, were denied. J. L. Maddux, aviation official at whose Inglewood home the Lindberghs have been staying since their arrival Monday, de nied he knew of the movements of his noted guest. "There have been several long distance telephone calls here for Col. Lindbergh from New York," Maddux asserted, "but I have not been able to reach him since he left here this morning. "He did not tell me where he was going and I do not know when he will return." It was assumed generally, how ever, that Col. Lindbergh had known in advance of the likely developments in the kidnaping case and had been kept informed of the progress made today. The tiny blue monocoupe which he borrowed at St. Louis in his flight here from New Jersey when his own ship was damaged, re mained at Clover Field. Santa Monica, where he landed last Monday. Aviation friends expressed be lief if Col. Lindbergh and his wife decided to fly east they would take a swifter plane. WITH CULL PRUNES School Children Have Role in Labor Trouble; Mill Men Deny Sabotage Strike picketing may be serious business to adults, but to school boys and girls it's Just a lark or so it would seem. Yesterday textile strike pickets paraded in front of the home of C. A. Page, superintendent at the local Kay Woolen mills, bearing sign "A scab lives here. All was serene until young Raymond Page and 20 or so schoolmates returned home from school. The lad, a fifth grader, was seen to join the two pickets with this sign draped from a baseball bat: "Beware the Bolsheviks." Naturally, that didn't last long, but it furnished glee for the ap plauding schoolmates, who gath ered courage and are reported to have thrown bad prunes at the pickets, who shortly thereafter disappeared, according to report from neighbors. "All was very congenial here today," reported Superintendent (Turn to page 2, col. 3) E TOKYO, Sept. 21.-(Friday )-(Jf)-A school building collapsed upon 500 small children in Kyoto during a disastrous typhoon which roared across central and eastern Japan today, causing some 200 casualties, including many deaths. Rengo (Japanese) news agency reports said today. At least 20 persons were report ed killed or injured near Kyoto when two passenger trains were overturned by the wind. A falling schoolhouse at Momoyama, near Kyoto, caused 10 known deaths Inrushing seas inundated 2,000 houses in the village of Fukura, near Kobe, and many were feared to have drowned.

TYPHOON USE OF 1 DEATHS RECORD CROWD NSPECTS FULL E Window Shoppers Spread by Change From Previous Program Outline Displays are Exceptional; Flower Show and Dance Widely Patronized Bidding goodbye to summer and genially welcoming fall. thousands of residents of the Sa lem trading territory thronged the city's " business streets from 7:30 o'clock until a late hour last night to view the most gen eral and enticing window displays ever shown here. At the sound of the whistle at 7:30 the windows were unveiled and lights turned on before the crowns that had gathered all along shoppers' row. In contrast with previous fall openings, last night's saw the window watchers widely diffused throughout tne business district rather than Jammed into a central block. The Salem Ad club, opening sponsor, chose this year to make the shop displays the chief at traction instead of a program at one spot. The only street enter tainment provided therefore, con sisted of the music of the Holly wood theatre's cowboy band and the Salem Kiltie band. A unit new to fall opening observance was the annual fall flower show of the Salem Gar den club. The organization's bril liant array of blooms, plants and shrubs held a capacity crowd at the armory, site of the Bhow, throughout the evening hours. The closing event of the night nroeram. the Ad club dance at Crystal Gardens, likewise drew patrons to its full capacity. While the spectacle ot thous ands of men, women and chil dren assembled in a confined area was missing last night, ob servers declared the number of persons on all the main streets must have exceeded that of past openings.
