ident to use whatever methods necessary
to strike or otherwise, which would force
these roads to rescind their orders dis
charging maintenance of way men who

The attitude 'of other railroads was
praised and the president was ordered

O.-E. Sub-Station Men
Refuse to Walk Out
The strike of electrical operators in
the Oregon Electric sub-station at Las
sen station scheduled by union headquar
ters at Portland to start lait night, did
not materialize duo to an agreement
made a vcar ago between tho sub-station
men and the railroad company.
The men declare they have no griev
ance as to overtime ns this was settled
by them lost year. They also believe that
interrupting the train service causing
suffering to people who are helpless anil
depend on their food supplies from the
country would be unfair. The sub-station
men are in sympathy with the men on
strike and have voted to donate one day s
pay each week to the support of their
families. . ,
Seeking to restrain the union officials
from putting them on the nnfiiii: list the
local workers will probobly filo an in

No word had reached Eugene at noon'
today as to how tho fire In tho logged

away fishing, and the buildings wore a
level of coals within an hour. No one was

striking railroad men.
"I have not had breakfast yet and I
