Jewell Charges R. R. Heads and
Financiers With Conspiracy
to Substitute Autocratic Con
trol for Brotherhoods.
CHICAGO, Feb. 10. (A. P.) The
federal railroad labor board today de
nied the request of the American as
sociation of railway executives for Im
mediate abrogation of the national

hoods and establishment of a new ba
sic rate for unskilled labor predicated
on local condition.
The decision came before B. F.
Jewell, president of the railway em
ployes department of the American
federation of labor had started to re
ply to a statement before the board
latt week by W. W. Atterbury of ths
Pennsylvania railroad. Jewell, how
ever, made a statement charging con
spiracy by the railway executives and
financiers to destroy the organization
of railroad workers and to re-establish
autocratic control of the' transpor
tation Industry.
Will Prove Charge.
Jewell asked the board to postpone
further consideration of the roads'
appeal for immediate abrogation of
the national agreements and to pro
ceed to hear the evidence the unions
will present to back up his charge of
conspiracy. Jewell charged tho roads
appeal for abrogation of the rules and
a request for permission to cut the
waes of railroad laborers were timed
with a view of stampeding the board
Hrto taking a position on the matter.
Wont Authorize Cut.
CHICAGO, Feb. 10. l P.) -The
I'nited States railroad hoard has re
jected the appeal of the association of
railway executives for immediate ab
rogation of working agreements, and
have also refused to authorize a cut in
the wages of railroad laborers.
Will Hear ICvMeiieo.
The. board announced if rules and
working conditions now continued in
the nuiional agreement were un.iust,
they are then nnwananted to put a
burden upon the railroads-. It stated,
however, It would be unfair to abro
gate the agreement without bearing
the evidence- presented by the em
ployes and it will not definitely decide
the it-stie until the' latter have pre
.entod their case fully.
To Continue Hearing.
The" board announced it would con

lion of their ease. The decision oMlie i

' TAYLOR MEMORIAL HAS NOT
SUBSCRIBED TO THE FUND
Keeords of the Til Taylor memorial association, searched today by Judge
C. H. .Marsh, fail to show that cither the Pendleton Tribune or its owner has
contributed a cent towards the fund. Yet the local morning paper which for
Many years always opposed the election of Til Taylor as sheriff and last year
by its attitude embarrassed the move to raise funds for a memorial, .s now
trying to dictate to the committee how- to spend the memorial money. Fur
thermore, its suggestion is that the committee forsake the original purpose for
which the money was raised and use the money to buy a tract of land for the
city. ,v t

That the subject (ls not a proper one
for newspaper controversy Is well
realized by this paper and the East
Oregonjan refrained from active at
tention to the matter until the issue
,as forced bv a contemporary that is
seemingly inspired by a desire to har-
rat-s the movement to perpetuate Til
Taylor'a memory by the erection of a
beautiful Matue by a noted sculptor.
. Kiatuc Suggested.
The purpose of ths memorial asso
ciation to erect a statue was clearly
defined last summer and is shown by
the eport of the original meeting held
in the Commercial Association rooms
on the evening of August 3. In re
porting t-iat rrecting the Kast Orego
nian on the following day carried the
following lead:
"A fund of sufficient size to erect a
statue tt-at will be a lasting tribute !
the memory of Sheriff Taylor and a
redit to the county whose laws he up
held for 22 years, obtained absolutely
by voluntary subscriptions Is the aim
of the- committee which today -undertook
the organization of the Til Tay
lor Memorial Association. "
The publicity at that time here arn"
lsvvi.pre. over the northwest. n,itably
in Portland, all referred to the idea
of a statue On tire asis of that move
approximately $17,000 was donated to
the fond from 800 voluntary subscrib
ers. The most of this money is now
on hand and is drawing interest in lo-
al banks.
A Matter of Good Faith
It is thi contention of the East Ore
gonlan that tc divert this fund from
ill oiijilral ..urpose ard tire the mon
ey to buy a block of land for Pendlo-
ton would te a brea--h of faith to the
donors and a slap at (he memtry of
Til Taylor. There is a strong support
for libs view and it has been expressed
in pronounced terms by indl iduals
man times today and yesterday. Over
the phone and in other :nanners many
people have expressed heated indigi a
tioi: that there should be agitation to
appropriate the fund for local pur
poses. Threats of an iniunction are
made In cri?e there should be such an
attempt.
No Action by Onnmittee.
Members of the- coninilttte bardling
the fund today joined in saying no
meetings of the committee have be.n
held for a long time and that no ac
tio.", whatsoever has been taken. Ho--"vor,
a meeting is to be held this aft
