Long litigation has marked the

City officials here were unad

Attorney Chris J. Kowhs said he
had understood Fowler also would
attend the meeting, his absence
was taken to mean that the on

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.

Initiative Measure Aimed
at Creating Full-Time
Job Considered
Salary of $2400 per Year
Proposed; Efficiency
Declared Purpose
An Initiative measure aimed at
providing a full-time salaried
mayor for Salem may be placed
on the November city election
ballot. 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.

No action In sympathy with the
strikers at the Swift & Co. plant
In Portland was evident at the

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

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.

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.

The lad, a fifth grader, was

bat: "Beware the Bolsheviks."
Naturally, that didn't last long,
but it furnished glee for the ap

WASHINGTON, Sept 20 (AP) The arrest of Beinrd
Richard Hauptmann, pointing to solution of the Lind

into which the federal government was led by the kidnaping
and killing of a blond-haired child.
The crime which cost the life of Charles Augustus

developed in the justice depart
