RELATE STORY
to
Monitor, Aug. 18. How they
were snatched from a friendly
fame of carde in the back room
of a pool hall to become leading
players In the melodramatic dash
for freedom of the three convicts
Who shot their way out of th

Bight on the return of Leo Wlldo,
Otto Lucht, Lawrence Jacobs an
Joseph Llechte, who were kidnap

WHde, who was carried as
hostage as far as Portland by the
desperadoes, told the story
Deputy Warden Liliey.
"The four of us were sitting 1
the poolroom playing cards,
Wilde eatd. "A fifth had just left.
We heard somebody come in,
Then someone came around the
partition, covered us with a pin

saying: 'Now Just sit still, boys,
Keep your hands In the air an
you won't get hurt.' The other
two then came In and they
searched us, finding no guns.
"They then gathered ap somo
canned goods, took several dol

eral dollars, says they 'Just
wnnted some change.' Then they
took us outside, got us all Into
Lawrence Jacobs' Mitchell auto
mobile and we started off down
the Pacific highway."
All went well, nccordlng to th
tory, until they wore on the out-

ran out of gasoline and one

of doing something to the car.
Finally It got to working, how
ever, and drove on down the Pu

"About 6 o'clock Monday
morning we pulled up to f!. L.
Newmnn's ranch, which Met
little off tho highway on a side
road. The occupants of tho houe
were asleep and our kidnapers
awoke them, pushed their way
into the house and searched mem
bers of the family for guns, hu
found none. They told tho New
mans they would not be harmed
as long as they did what they
wero told. Murray apparently
was the leader. H0 was giving
moot of tho instructions yester
day. The convict trio spent th
flay shaving and cleaning up
rustling food and getting clothes.
Except for a few scratches and
burns on th0 hands from sliding
down tho ropes at the penitent!

was not seriously hurt.

Wilde went on. "They decided to
take Leslie Newman, 17 yenr old

and myself. Young Newman did
the driving and we proceeded to
Portland. Murray told Newman
not to speed at any time so as to
attract attention, llefore we left
the ranch Murray told the oth
ers: 'These boys will be allowed
to live if you remain quiet and

encountered four traffic officers.
Each time we pawed an officer

"When they left us Murray

" 'When you get back to Mon-

And let it be distinctly understood
that every man traveling with our
circus has a sleeping berth on our
trains. I know there is a popular
belief that the circus laborer
bunks on the tops of wagons and
goodness knows where. That's
pure bosh. I sometimes think that
thin impression is due to the fact
that scores of the laboring men
iro seen fully dressed and perched
ou the tops of vans, etc., when the
circus trains arrive In the railroad
yards, lint It should he remem
bored that these men are required
for instant work the moment the
Lrains come to a KtandsLf 1 1 , and lu
view of this, have been roused by
their respective bosses from their
quarters a full half hour before.
To suppose that they hadn't been
in a real be., would be simliur to
arguing that tho passengers on a
'.rack Pullman flyer hud sat up all
night merely because they are
ready to be handed down by the
car porter when their train ar
rives at a station.
"If the circus laborer Is at times

that ho has no other wardrobe

A controversy between local la
bor representatives and proprietors
of two Salem restaurants, the Argo
and the Home, came to a head yes
terday with the announcement by
labor union officials that the two
eating places have been placed on
the unfair list. Failure to meet
the union wage scale was declared
to be the reason for their action.
Waitresses, they declare, receive
111 and $12 a week at the Home
and Argo, the union wage for wait
resses being 116 per week.
In defense of his scale John
Loper, proprietor of the Argo res
taurant, declares that he la "pay
ing better in the kitchen than their
wage scale, and equal in the din
ing room." While the statistics an
nounced by the union are correct,
Loper states, they fall to mention
that his waitresses "only work
about 6 or 6 hours a day," as
compared to a straight 8 hour shift
In other eating places, Loper de
clares that waitresses in his estab
lishment go to work at about 11:30
In the morning, work until about
2:30, then go to work again at
5:30 and continue until 7:46. A
few extras here and there bring
the total average up to not more
than Q hours dally, he says.
Richard O'Leary, proprietor of
the Home restaurant, was out of
the city on a short vacation and
could not be reached.
Loper Insists that his kitchen
help Is better paid on the average
than the union scale, ranging from
$16 a week to $20 a week for help
ers. He also states that his wait
resses get thulr meals free of
charge, an Item not entered Into
the estimates.
Also, ho says, he docs not want
to be forced to get his help entire
ly from the personnel of the culin
ary workers union, which would
bo the case If he complied with
labor regulations. "I want to se
lect my own waitresses, rather than
being forced to get them through
tho union. Tho union Is not large
onough to give me a wide enough
choice. 1 told them all that when
they camo to see me about It, and
explained that I wasn't trying to
bunk them."
S. li. Davidson, business agent
for the Salem Trades and Labor
council, this morning denied that
waitresses in tho Argo and Home
restaurants work fewer hours
than union workers.
'They have to work 12 hours to
got in an 8 hour day," he said.
'Thoy work three broken shifts.
While they aren't waiting on table
hey have to keep busy with their
laundry or something else."
Loper declares that only a small
proportion of his waitresses bar
to appear for breakfast at all, and
the few who do are excused from
other work, making the total time
put In not more than 6 ft hours
dally.
Davidson this morning produc
ed statistics showing that the low
est possible scale for kitchen work
era ,clasa C for helpers, la $16 'a
week, although he stated that oth
er classifications go much higher.
In the local restaurants, he said,
members of the families of the pro
prietora had charge of the kitchens
and no attempt was being made to
force union conditions upon them.
Present plans do not; Involve
placing pickets In front of either
establishment, Davidson said.
