Republican club was perfected, Paul
B Wallace was elected president,
Mrs. F. A. Elliott, vice president, and
Professor C. I. Lewis, secretary- treaa
urer. The club's slogan is 'Hoover of
Salem for president."
Petitions Signed
Kvery man and woman present
showed deep interest in the meeting
and all signed Hoover petitions and
pledged themselves to work for the
Salem boy and to do everything port
able to overcome the propaganda
and handicaps thrown in the way by
disapproving nolltlcians.
"Anyone who says that Hoover is
a Britisher, has not taken the time
or had an opportunity to, make sure
of themselves," stated Mr. Newall,
who served as food administrator fo.
Oregon under Hoover's food conser
vation dictatorship. "During the many
times in which I came into personal
contact with him, he would often
show his great satisfaction at beimj
uble to give up interests that had
taken him all over the world, and to
return to America. When war broke
out and thousands of Americans
found that their letters of credit ren
dered worthless, these did not come
to Hoover because he was a 'British
er' but because he was an American.
That he responded ably is too well
known to need repetition. When the
terrible situation in Belgium became
known and a big man was needed to
handle the tremendous problems and
tasks involved. Hoover was selected.

"At this time the Salem boy had

reputation In mining circles and nat

road to a terrific fortune and when
his British associates heard that he
contemplated going into relief work';
they protested that he was needed as
never before to rejnnln and engineer
their projects through he perilous

with a hypocritical smile, shown us
into a stiff upholstered waiting room.
As a matter . of fact, we broke the
first rules of the game ourselves, by
driving up to the rear entrance; and
we caught the superintendent in the
act of directing the proper disposal
of two huge freeier of ice cream. A
sweet faced woman, she is, dressed in
immaculate white, with silver hair
that makes a sort of halo arouna her
kindly face. There was nothing su

she greeted us, and nothing "uphol

which she ushered us. "If -you care to

New York. Aur. 10. An embargo, on
express matter was ordered today as
the railroad strike gained gound in
New Yor., further tying up felght and
crippling passenger service on many
lines. Reports were current that a
passenger embargo might be required
before the day ended, -
Scenes such as have seldom. If ever,
been witnessed, occurred today at fer
ry terminals. With the tubes closed
to them, commuters pushed and
shoved their way through ferry gates.
During the rush hours no teams or au
tomobiles were allowed on the boats

Dy rjiuroaa Drotnernooa officials of a
break in the ranks of insurgent Chi
cago switchmen and cnglnemert, -unauthorized
railroad strikes throughout
the country assumyl serious propor
tions today with reports Indicating
nearly 35, 000-men were idle.
In tho Chicago district, regarded as
the key to the whole situation, some
strikers returned to Vork but from
walkouts and a strengthening of the
other settlons came reports of new
insurgents forces.
Railroads from the Atlantic to tne
Pacific coast announced embargoes on
freight shipments and In industrial
centers thousands of workers had
been thrown out of employment, as
plants restricted operations because of
lack of fuel and raw materials.
Brotherhood officials declared re
ports that 35,000 switchmen and en-,
ginemen were out were exaggerated
but admitted that the seceding work
era had gained strength outside of Chl-
cago.
To Vote Today,
A. F. Whitney, vice-president of the
Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen,
announced that a group of striking
switchmen on the Burlington road had
returned to work ln Chicago last night.
A committee of strikers from the Chi-
cago & Northwestern line, he said,
would vote today on ending the walk
out her.e.
"A statement by railroad officials de
clared that all indications were that
the crisis -In the Chicago yards had
passed.
In surgent leaders, however, claimed
the, strike was unbroken ln Chicago
and declared that 95 per cent of the
switchmen in the district were out.
They said twenty charters in the
