Counter requests for wage increases by railroad shopmen at a time when railroads were asking reductions were characterized as a strategic move "coldly calculated to inter fere with and delay a new wage agreement by J. W. Higgins, rep resenting western roads, before the railroad labor board today. Mr. Higgins made the closing argument against the employes charges, preferred by B. M. Jewell, head of the shop crafts unions, that the roads had not held prop er conferences with employes un der the transportation act prior to cringing their wage cut requests to the board. Says Charffea Unfair. Mr. Higgins declared the charges "unfair and unsupported' and scored the unions for asking wage increases, "in the face of the fact that the laoor board recog nized a downward trend of wages in its wage reduction order of July, 1921, and in spite of the continued downward trend since that date." "Knowing these conditions and also recognizing as I do the keen discernment of the leaders on the other side, can we reason that such an extravagant request was made on the ground of justice or reason?" Mr. Higgins said. "Keep ing in mind these conditions, there is no escape from the con clusion that the Inauguration of this program for a wage increase was to checkmate the proposed de creases of the railroads by re questing such abnormal increases as to make any sort of an agree ment impossible. Holds Contention Proven. "I hold that we have proved that their plan was coldly cal culated to interfere with and de lay the decision in this case. From their viewpoint, it was good strut egy because so far as I know, uo wage decrease has yet been made retroactive." Mr. Higgins then quoted por tions of Mr. Jewell's letter of in structions to shop crafts repre sentatives and asked it these in structions were not given to de lay meeting the railroads on the merits of the proposed decreases inject into the wage conference demands for abnormal increases, and to insist on these increases being discussed to force disagree ments. Mr. Jewell's allegation that the railroad officers were without authority to negotiate wage rate, Mr. Higgins Bald, "is wholly imag inary."

IBM PLOT Conspiring To Thwart Justice In Chicago Lab or Trials Charged To Union Men F :T E RRIGATION PLAN The Owyhee irrigation project, embracing lands in Malheur coun ty, Or., and in western Idaho, is entirely feasible according to a re port prepared by the United States reclamation service, a copy of which has just been received by Percy A. Cupper, etate engineer. The report was prepared under the direction of J. B. Bond, pro ject engineer, of Boise, Idaho, in cooperation with the engineering department of tb'State of Ore gon. The report gives favorable con sideration to two of the five sep arate plans submitted for the de velopment of the project. One of these plans contemplates the irrigation of 25,000 acres at an estimated cost of 12,823,130 Or approximately $113 per acre. Of this irrigable area 7300 acres are now being watered by pump ing plants. This plan, State En gineer Cupper point out, has the advantage of a low diversion dam, no tunnels, very little heavy rock work and small investment but does not provide for the ultimate development of the entire irriga ble area embraced within the pro ject or the utilization of the avail able water supply and would In crease, to a certain extent, the ex pense of developing the additional acreage at a later date. Second Proposal Favored. Under the second plan, which is given more favorable considera tion in the report, it is proposed to Irrigate 132,200 acres of land, 39,000 acres of which are now ir rigated by pumping plants and 93,000 acres of new lands. The estimated coBt of this project 1b approximately $16,000,000 or $121 per acre. This plan, accord ing to Cupper, would utilize to the fullest extent the water supply of the Owyhe river and would relieve the large acre from the pumping charge which is becoming some what burdensome to those lands. This project would also supply some stored water to about 12,000 acres of additional land under the Owyhee canal which now secures its water from the Owyhee river. "From the investigations made it is believed the Owyhee project is feasible and the lands coming under it could repay a construc tion charge somewhat higher than the estimated cost under the more favorable plans of this report," the report of the reclamation service reads. "Provided, however, that repayments can be made under the terms of the reclamation ex tension act without interest. MRS.

Quesz of the Flat Janitors Union and several other officials of the union, following an alleged confession of Fred C. G.

"In view of the fact that many eighth grade pupils who pasB the examination and earn diplomas are t-ltuated bo that no public recognition or appreciation of their work can be made when their diplomas are sent to them, the teachers present at the local Institute held recently at Wood burn voted In favor of a county graduation day," Mrs. Mary Fulk erson, county superintendent, ex plained today. The plan, Mrs. Fulkerson said, Is to have these pupils come to Salem on a set date and receive their diplomas at a public meeting. "We expect to have a suitable program and hope that many school will avail themselves of the opportunity," she said. Mrs. Fulkerson today addressed letters to teachers of all county schools In which she requests a reply relative to the teacher's at- . 1 41,. ... i I III, desire to hold local exercises you are at liberty to do so, but we gladly welcome all who can come and share in the honor of Marlon county," her letter stated.
