Federal Inquiry?
Xo the American Public:
Do you believe in arbition or indiia
trjal warfare?
. The traia employe! on all the railroad!
are vqting whether they will give their leader
authority to tie up the commerce oi the
- country to enforce their demands for a 10$
million dollar waje increase,
i The railroads are in the public ervice
your service. This army of employes is in '
the public amice yourtcrvice..
You pay for rail transportation 3 billion .
dollars a year, and 44 cents out of every
dollar from you goes to the employes,.
On ill the Western railroads in 1915, seventy-five per cent at t
tnin employes earned then wages (lowest, highest tod averag
i all) as shown by the pay rolls

A 100 million do''ar wage increase for
men in freight and : ard service (less than
one-fifth of all emploies) is equal to a 5 per
cent advance in all fought rates. ' ,
The managers of t) te railroads, as trustees
ipr 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.
v 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?

It is well for us all that we
can see in men' Ryes character
istics worthy of eifrujation. It is
well that th life pf, Mr, Pike' be
held up ss s good exsmple of
citizenship. He ' ws strictly
honest in all thing. He never
evaded a public or social duty
and iu all the year he lived in
the community each year was sn
added proof of his splendid manhood.
Mr. Pike was considered well-
to-do having accumulated con
siderable property in this county
but every dollar Was earned by
hard work and made to grow by
strict econoaiy. ; . , m . ;
He was a pioneer and together
with his estimable wife whom he
leaves to mourn his death he
carved a home out of the wilder
ness and raised a family of four
children all of whom are re
spected citizen.
His death occurred : after
brief illness caused by cerebral
hemorrhage. He was taken sud
denly while at his father's home
in West Beayerton, but managed
to walk several blocks' to his own
home where he grew gradually
worse although all that medical
science and loving hands Could
do was done. The end came
peacefully Sunday evening. .
Funeral services were con
ducted at the M. E. church by
Rev. 0. A. Gray, attended by
the members of the Chamber oi
Commerce and the Beaverton
Grange Many beautiful flowers
wete contributed. At the cem
etery the last sad rites were per
formed by the Beaverton Grange
of which Mr. Pike had long been
an active member, and of which
he had been several times elected
master, which office a well as
the office of Master of the Wash
ington County Pomona he held
at the time of his death. ' He had
been a member of the school
board for 27 year and bad re.
oent'y been elected for another
three-year term.
Our fincerest sympathy is ex.
tended to the sorrowing relatives,
We will all mis Mr. Pike.
