AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER F. B. Boyd, Publisher Entered In the rnatoflipe at Athena, Oregon at econdtaitB Mall Uatier. Looking forward to a probable oar shortage, the Pntllo Service Commis eioo of tula state is offering sugges tions to railway companies and ship pers, with a view to relieving to some extent the aontenees of the situation. Tbe nonreoedented soaroitj of ooeao oarriers will neoessitate the movement eastward of Oregon'! ciop this year, and the transportation situation bBS already faeoome serious, and daily is becoming more so. The Commission ie requesting tbe railroads to place oars witboot onneaesary delay, to move promptly all loaded oars and to piy partionlar attention to tbe distrib ution of oars in order tbat empties may be concentrated as moub as pas sible near tbe centera of demand, 1'ha shippers are requested to load and un load freight with promptness, and to load all oars lo full oapauity and to order no more oars tbao are absolutely needed. Tbe Commission believes tbat If the transportaton companies and the shippers oo-operate along tbe lines suggested the grain orop will be moved witbout serions delay. R AIL K. WAG OAD ES Shall they be determined by Industrial Wa rfa re or Federal Inquiry? To the American Public: Do you believe in arbitration or indus trial warfare? The train employes on all the railroads are voting whether they will give their leaders authority to tie up the commerce of the country to enforce their demands for a 100 million dollar wage increase. The railroads are in the public service your service. This army of employes is in the public service your service. 5 You pay for rail transportation 3 billion dollars a year, and 44 cents out of every dollar from you goes to the employes. On all the Western railroads in 1915, seventy-five per cent of the train employes earned these wages (lowest, highest and average of all) as shown by the pay rolls Panenger Freight Yard Ranga A'arata Rani Ararat Rama Araraaa I $S7i $S1378 Conductor. ,878 1935 gg 1355 S " lS 973 The average yearly wage payments to all Western train em ployes (including those who worked only part of the year) as shown by the 1915 payrolls were Panenger Freight Engineer. ..... $2038 $1737 Couluctors 1772 1624 Firemen ... , , . 1218 973 Brakemen. , . , , . 921 1000 Yard $1218 1292 832 1026 A 100 million dollar wage increase for men in freight and yard service (less than one-fifth of all employes) is equal to a 5 per cent advance in all freight rates. The managers of the railroads, as trustees for. the public, have no right to place this burden on the cost of transportation to you without a clear mandate from a public tri bunal speaking for you. The railroads have proposed the settle ment of this controversy either under the existing national arbitration law, or by refer ence to the Interstate Commerce Commis sion. This offer has been refused by the employes' representatives. Shall a nation-wide strike or an investigation under the Gov ernment determine this issue?

But Pacific Coast motorists have proved that Zero lene, made from selected Califor nia crude, asphalt-base, gave best results. Their experience is now supported by the testimony of in ternational experts. Lieut. Bryan stated before the Am. Soc. of Naval Engineers: "Oils made from the asphalt-base crudes have shown themselves better adapted to motor cylinders, as far as their carbon forming proclivities are concerned, than are paraf fine -base Pennsylvania oils."
