wards of 90 per cent, favoring a strike
because of a 12 per cent wage reduc
tion uilhori.ed by the railroad labor
board of July 1. and after It was de
clared by the Association of Railway
Executives in session here that, a fur
ther reduction would be sought by
the railroads.

! Washington The government,
; through its various departments, be
;gan a survey of the situation as de
1 veloped by the call of railroad union
. leaders for a general strike beginning
j October 30.
Officials from President Harding
down to departmental bureau chiefs
! and secret service agents were known
I to be watching the situation closely,
meanwhile hoping that some means
might be found for averting a paraly
I sis of the nation's transportation sys
tem. Hope was expressed generally by
I officials that the suggestion advanced
; by the public group of the railroad la
i bor board, here for conferences with
1 the interstate commerce commission,
might be made the basis for a solution
' of the problem The public group of
the board proposed that the railroads
i immediately put into effect freight re
, ductlons equivalent to the wage de
1 ureases authorized by the board last
iJuly, that the railroads withdraw fur
i ther requests for wage reductions, and
j that the employes rescind the strike

BOARDMAN BECOMING DAIRY CENTER
AND WILL START CHEESE FACTORY
The people of the Boardman pro
ject realize that there can be no
permanent agriculture Where the
crop is raised and shipped out of the
country and nothing returned to the
soil. This is especially important
in an irrigated section.
The application of manure in
creases the yield of alfalfa. This
calls for livestock. It is important
that the hay lie fed on the farm and
the products shipped out in coneen
I rated form.
Interest in dairying has increased
to such an extent that several car
loads of milk stock are enroute to
Boardman, having been selected by
various parties Interested; A. P.
Ayers of Boardman, C. C. Calkins,
county agent, and W. O. King, L. V.
Kutzner, and Ray Brown of the East
Side Boardman district.
Financial arrangements have been
made with the Arlington bank, Art
Wheelhouse, president, and with F.
B. Swayze of the Hermiston National
bank, to carry the deal through.
A cheese factory organization has
been completed with R. Wasmer,
president; Dale Albright, secretary,
and R. Wasmer, T. E. Broyles, and
Paul Smith, directors. A cheetee
maker is expected within a week,
and it is planned to begin cheese
making by November 1st.

LISTENING IN ON THE WORLD!
Next to the au-'
tomobilc, the
most amazing
thing of this cen
tury, perhaps, is
the way the wtre
Icss has spread
among amateurs
in America. The
U. S Navv as
serts that 500.0IX)
boys, girls and
young men have
such radiophone
plants, most of
them costing
from $10 to $25.
This is an average
of 10.000 to each
state but of
course some
states have sev
eral times 10,000
Every night
news in Morse
code or lectures
or addresses or
concerts are sent
out from central
stations in cities
for the bereft of
'hese amateurs.
The United
States Navy exercises a certain control over these amateurs through what
is known as the "Navy Radio Amateur Bureau." This bureau sends tb
amateur copies of secret codes, arranges concerts and lectures for thetn
and otherwise interests them. An amateur writing to Popular Science
Monthly says the bureau even sent him a personal message soon after lie
joined.
The same writer says that when he first got his apparatus together
he took it out on the porch. The wire touched a standpipe on the porch!
and instantly he heard music. Wireless sounds come through the air like
ripples on a pond, and washed against the receiving wire In this case they
washed against the metal standpipe, and the minute the wire; touched it,
the concert that was in the air at the moment began to reproduce on the
aprf-atus in his house.
If any of our community boys arc
'a-i ograph operators, they should write
' ir Luicau. New York City."

ed exports.

Trading company. A hole was cut In
the back door to allow a hand to be
inserted so that the key might be
turned. No cash is mlBsing, though
there was considerable of it both in
