SMYTH E; SITUATION HAS SOME SPOTS NEEDING CHANGES Motorists take notice. All automobile nnd truck drivers in approaching a railroad crossing must stop, look nnd listen from some plnee where effective and If necessary to stop and look and listen, must do so or suffer the consequences without re course to law. This Is the opinion of Judge it. W. Phelps In grunting a non .Tilt In the case of Oren Eelthouse against James C Davis as Director General of railroads this morning and follows the decision of the Oregon state supreme court In similar (uses. Mr. Eelthouse while operating a truck in the summer of 1920 at Echo, was struck by a train, and the truck was demolished. He filed suit against the railroad alleging that the train was traveling through the corporate limits of n i lly at an excessive rate of speed, and that the railroad had placed box curs In such a pos'tion that his view 'of the track was obstructed. Attorneys for the railroad filed a motion for non suit during the proced ure of the ease, nnd Judge Phelps this morning granted the motion. The Oregon state law holds thnt In event u motorist running a car is unable to be in a position to hear un approaching train, because of the noise of his mo tor, then It Is necessary for the motor ist to stop and look: also that if In the event he is hit without taking these precautions, he Is unuhle to recover damnges as he Is said to have con tributed to the cause of the damage.

Unemployment in East is Severe; Corn Will be Used as Fuel in Middle West. That tho turning point upward in business conditions has been reached and better times are ahead, Is the statement of Dan P. Sniythe, promin ent rendleton sheepman, who veturn-, ed yesterday from an extended busi ness trip through the east. Mr. Sniy the says that eastern bankers, owing to a slight reaction In the cotton and wool business, are feeling more opti mistic than at any time Bince the de pression started. The textile mills throughout the New England states, according to Mr. Sniythe arc running almost full time and this puts the wool men In a more optimistic state of mind. "The only thing now which is holding the wool market down," said Mr, Smythe this morning, "is the fact that many firms throughout the country have been forced to sell wool on the market un der the hummer und ns seen as the "depressed'' wool ts disposed of, the wool men-may look for n better mar ket. The emergency tariff bill has al ready proven a great benefit to the wool Industry. "Three things today are named us the principal cause of unrest and fi nancial trouble in the United Stales. The Hast thinks thnt there must be a lower equation of wages, a decided lowering of freight rates and the mid dle man is blamed for keeping up prices, thuN causing the high cost of living. Those three things must be readjusted and us soon as they are, the United States will return to her former (state of normalcy and pros perity." Mr. Smytho was In Chicago from KuKiixt 2 until the Inst .of September when the last of his mutton was mar keted. The marketing of his lambs wus most satisfactory to Mr. Smythe, the market holding up much better rt he had hoped, for. This was due partially to the excellent finality and condition of the Smythe lambs which were much above the average. Their lambs graded in per cent better than the average owing to the excellent grass nnd griming conditions In Ore gon and the states west of the Rocky Mountains. The weather conditions throughout the country are most fa vorable und have been this summer. Throughout the middle, west more ruin foil during the months of August and September than for a period nf many years In these months. The rain came In time to save the com crops of the counti v and ine m .. lie west had a bumper crop, The farmers there however are finding a very poor market for their corn and many farmers are planning on burn ing their corn for fuel this winter. Th's Is caused by the low market price nnd a high freight rate which mal es 't non-profitable for them to market th's product. "One of the worst things In the east," says Mr. Smythe, "Is the labor condition. People In the west hnve no Idea of the unemployment In the east. I saw thousands In the cities out of work and saw the bread lines and riots In New York and Boston. Most nf the men looked like good clean fellows, many of them being ex-service men. The s'toutlon is some belter since President Harding culled the labor conference, as cities urn taking mea sures for the alleviation of the sltnn tlon."

ENTIRE RAILROAD SITUATION INVOLVED BY FREIGHT CUT Carriers Commission Ordered to Put Cut Into Effect Im mediately, Nov. 20 Latest. TWO IMPORTANT MEETINGS ARE BEING HELD TODAY Unless Last Minute Instruction Received Men on Texas Road Will Walk Out Today. WASHINGTON, Oct. 22 A. P. In a sweeping decision involving the entire railroad situation, wage scales and de pression in industry and finan ces, the interstate commerce commission today ordered the freight rates on grain, gram proclupts and hay throughout the western half of the United States reduced by an average of approximately 16 per cent. Notice was given the carriers' commission that the expected reductions were to be put into effect immediately and by No vember 20 t thr' latest, and r that the low state of railroad earnings which led to the in creases in 1920 should hereaft er be rectified by reductions in wages and prices and that a downward tendency should be set for rates.
