lot son K S 1 1 Feb 1 THE BOARDMA VOLUME II BOARDMAN, OREGON, FRIDAY, JULY 7. 1922 NUMBER 22 NATION-WIDE STRIKE GF SHOPMEN BEGINS No lntrruploi In Traffic It Reported By Railroad Officials. Chicago. 1U. Notwithstanding the (forts of the federal government, act tag through the United State railroad labor board, to throttle a strike of ihe nation's railway shop workers, thou sands of shopman answered the call of the union leaders and laid down their tools. There wu no interruption of traffic on any line. Engineers and trainmen stuck to their posts, although, under instructions from brotherhood chiefs, they performed only their regular du tle. All trains, the railroads report ed, were running on schedule. Statements from rail executives all over the country, although admitting large desertions from the shop ranks, reiterated their stand that transports tion was unaffected and would con tinue so "perhaps for months." No further efforts would be made to settle the strike by the railroad labor board, it was said at the board's of flees. From Washington came wora that the administration was solidly back of the board on its stand on the strike question. The power of-the United States gov rnment, coupled with public senti ment, will gtve every protection to tvery railway employe who remains on the job and to all men who take the place of strikers in the present railroad walkout, Ban W. Hooper, chairman of the United States railroad board, declared In a statement. Wage cuts aggregating approximate ly $134,000,000 and affecting more than 1,000,000 railway workers went into effect on all railroads of the United Statee July 1 by order of the labor board. In protest agalast the wage cuts and against certain practices charged against the managements of the rail roads, the shopmen throughout the country voted to go on strike. BOARDMAN'S FIRST FOURTH OF JULY OREGON NEWS NOTES OF PRINCIPAL CELEBRATION IINMIALIFIFD SUCCESS EVENTS HAPPENING DURING WEEK Boardman proved herself a Rood hostess on July 4th when she enter tained the neighboring towns at a celebration. The weather man was kind and a gentle wind was blowing which gave relief from the intense heat of the previous day. Every thing was well planned by the com mittee and ran smoothly except that the program was started late. The program for the day was as follows: Flag salute by American Legion and Auxiliary.

NON PARTISANS WIN, L0SF League Oets Senate Chelc But Fa, is to Nominate Governor. Washington, D. C. The outcome of the republican primary In North Da kota appears to be a victory for the on-partisan league In naming the republican candidate for senator, for mer govornor Lynn J. Fresier, to suc ood Senator MiiCumber, but a defeat for the league la the effort to regain oompleto control of the stato govern ment. ftasler, who was recalled from the governorship of North Dakota last year, ts known as a radical, but in tho senate ho Is likely to prove much less radical than he is painted, as has been tho case of Dr. Ladd, the first sena tor pat over by the non-partisan league. Tho nomination of Governor Nestoe means a rebuff for the non-partisan league aa to Its state program and tho continuation of the middle of the road policy Inaugurated by the now govornor when he succeeded Frasior last fall. So many people were compelled to stand during the program that they became tired and left before it was tints lieu, Wuile tne program was going on, others were busy at the school bouse preparing the taDies and making the punch, this by the way, made a great hit with the peo ple and was much less work than lemonade would have been. The visitors were seated in the cafeteria room and the Boardman folks in tne room adjoining. All aorta-, of good eats were in abundance and every one had their fill and the jars of punch were filled and re-filled. At the close of the dinner ice cream was served in cones and everybody had all the ice cream they wanted. One little chap said "I guess I ate 17 cones" The serving of the ice cream was managed better this year and the men changed frequently and so did not tire. A great number of out of town visitors were present. There were people from Willow Creek, Irri gon, Alderdale, Bickelton and other neighboring towns. The baseball game followed the dinner and the Washington team met the Boardman boys and for once If not for the first time in history, the Boardman team won the game, but perhaps the credit for this belonged to the Umatilla pitcher. The game was slow and people didn't seem to have much enthusiasm, probably too hot to cheer. Some good plays were made and one did evoke a bit of rooting. The Umatilla pitcher made a home run off a scratch hit over first base. At the close of the game came the sports and these were as usual very interesting. In the evening a dance was given at the Auditorium and this closed Boardman's first big celebra tion. Everybody worked hard and the visitors all seemed to have a very merry time. We wish to take this opportunity to thank the people of the project for their hearty cooperation and help toward making a success of our 4th of July celebration. Visitors were very loud in their praises of our pro ject and people. Our reputation has gone forth to our sister state, as well as to adjoining counties as being the biggest hearted people found in the great Northwest. One man expres sed it thus: "I have not found such a spirit of friendliness and good will since I left the Southland. I have never visited Boardman before, but 1 am coming again for you have the mast ambitious and the most ener getic people I have ever seen, and I am sure there is not In all the great Northwest such big heartedness and such hearty cooperation as 1 found here". We wish to thank you again. I Former Salemltes, now residents of Portland, gathered in Laurelhurst park In Portland, Saturday for annual re union and picnic.
