Chicago, April 26. Developments
In the strike of insurgent railroad
workers In the Chicago district today
were confined to issuance of state
ments by the railroad managers and
itrikers. The managers asserted 1892
men were at work yesterday, and that
freight traffic was 90 percent of nor
mal. The strikers asserted the num
ber of men the railroads said were at
work was less than one fifth the nor
mal number, that the industrial sit
uation rapidly was growing worse,
with l number of plants facing shut
downs because of lack of Tjoal, and
that a compromise would be forced
sooner or later.
Elsewhere in the central and far
west a gradual' return to normal
freight movement was reported.

No hint of such a plan has come
from the managers.
Officials of the lines continued today
their optimistic statements of last

Perfumes from Arcady! How many
Salem' and Marion county residents
are aware that not only do they dwell
for a portion of each year In a flow
ery fairyland, but also that far over
head in upper stratas of purest ozone.
there' is found an aroma beyond com
pounding in the best equipped labo
ratories? And yet this is true and Is
vouched for by the many persons
who celebrated Salem's first official
Blossom day by taking a cruise Sun
day in the hydroplane "Sea Gull."
Plane Carries Flowers '
As a special ceremony of the day,
George F. Emery of the Oregon,
Washington, Idaho Airplane com
pany had made arrangements with
the Salem community bodies for a
flight at noonday when many variet
ies of blossoms from Salem's floral
resources were to be showered oyer
the city. .
As emissary special from Blossom
land, P. E. Fullerton, bearing a bask
et overflowing with choice blossoms;
took his place in the flying boat at
the appointed hour. Another guest of
Pilot Walter E. Lees, was the Capi
tal Journal reporter, who had been
given the pleasurable assignment for
the purpose of giving Journal readers
a sketch of the Cherry city.
Flying by air route has progressed
so much during recent years that to
devote much time to descriptions of
the "sensations" Is not necessary.
There is a sensation however, and a
very agreeable one of safety and sta
bility as the plane leaves the brief
starting glide down the Willamette
and mounts by Its own wings. Both
passengers on this trip considered
themselves veterans, having made
flights previously, In land machines.
However they became converts of
this flight system when the Sea Gull
demonstrated that the hydroplane
glide obviated the jolting and oft
times distressing earth contact.
Once in the air, and away from the
water there is really no sensation of
movement. Although the, plane forges
ahead. It is not noticeable to the pas
sengers, who are only aware of a
brisk gale that is sweeping across
the wings of the air craft. The sound
Of the motor is reassuring although
it interferes with communication. One
lookgover the side of the craft with
out any feeling of distress due to the
altitude. The landscape below sways
gently and glides by as if of its own
volition.
Rlnom Soent Prevails -The
sun's warm rays had raised
the temperature of the upper atmos
pheric heights, and when flying alti
tude had been attained one could set
tle back and survey Salem and the
two counties, Marion and Polk. From
the Polk county orchards the upper

Decision of the congress of French
railway workers to call a strike to en
force demands threatens a new danger,
if the men lay down their tools before
Saturday.
The government's policy, as regards
the May day demonstration would in
clude an immediate mobilization of the
railroad men to break the strike as
was the case in February. As to the
May day demonstrations, It is under
stood that the government's plans call
for even more vigorous action than last
year. At that time the efforts to clear
the streets ended with troops charging
the crowd and firing on the strikers.

Alt. Success .
' Not " a single feature entered Into
the day to mar the success of the oc
casion. -Responding as only thorough
public spirited citizens can hundreds
of Salemites were on hand with their
cars ready to do the bidding of the
city's guests.
; The delay of the Southern Pacific
train from the north, that bore sever
al hundred. visitors, caused some confusion-among
auto drivers, who de
parted without guests when the 'train
failed to come at the right time. The
visitors 'were picked up by drivers
later, however, and it was believed
today that no one who came to the
city to see' the blossoms went away
disappointed. -
Citizens Respond Nobly
Many citizens, anxious to do their
part and further the popularity of the
city and county as perhaps no other
means could have made more than
their quota of trips, some making as
high as eight tours with passengers
through the orchard areas. -'Although
blooms were not out as
fully as they miajht have been had

permitted, those ; tree mat were
cloaked in their sheens of pink, white!

had at this time of the year in any

In spite of the fact that there were
more than 10,000 machines moving
through the city .and, t the outskirts
pot one accident or . collision was
brought to the attention of police.
Seaplane is Feature
At noon the seaplane, bearing Will
Carver, reporter of the Capital Jour
nal; and P. E. Fullerton, secretary
treasurer of the Webfoot Aircraft
company of Salem, soared over - the
city dropping a halo, of flowers and
blossoms. This was followed by num
erous other flights over the blossom
ing vales and hills around the city.
Signs placed along "Blossom way"
marked the route and the actual tour
of the cars through the county south
of Salem was made without confusion
or delay. After returning from the
trip many of the visitors visited state
Institutions.
More than 6000 persons from all
parts of the state, making more than
500 automobile loads of persons, aside
from the 100 or more automobiles
that were furnished by local citizens,
thronged to Salem during the day to
make the tour through JPhezland and
the vales of blooming orchard. The
coming of the trains did not repre
sent the majority of visitors for more
persons came to the city in automo
biles from Portland, Eugene, Hood
River, Vancouver, Wash., and towns
surrounding Salem than came in on
trains and were taken through the
orchard districts by local motorists.
State House Visited
Fifteen hundred persons visited at
the state house during the day, and
615 curious sightseers climbed to the
top of the building and gazed over
the city and surrounding country
from the capitol dome.
