- Last Night and Paid
$10 and Costs.
That Chief of Police Tony Austin
is on to his job and that he is pro
nounced in his determination to put
a stop to the excessive speeding of
automobiles and motorcycles within
the city limits, was indicated this
morning when he broached the mayor
and members of the test observing
party who had been whirled around
the streets at a terrific speed in the
test of the new fire truck, and told
them that they would have to go a
little easy. In other words they got
a good "calling down." and thereafter
they meekly obeyed the orders of the
police chief.
However, Chief Austin granted the
demonstrator the privilege o'f mak
ing a test run out Fifth street which
was gladly accepted. The way was
cleared and the cross streets were
vigilantly watched and the big truck
made the run out this street at the
rate of 50 miles per hour.
Chief Austin arrested a speeder.

otifcnder was mailed in the police
court and pleaded guilty to the charge.
He was fined 10 and costs which he

When interviewed this morning
Richard Miller, wire chief, of the lo
cal Home telephone plant, postively
denied the report that the local tele
phon employes have walked out, as
the result of the strike which, was
called Monday by the electrical work
ers union, on account of the alleged
failure of the company to complf with
the $4 per day wage scale as adopted
by the union.
This denial on the part of Mr. Mil
ler was occasioned by a report yes
terday to the effect that all of the
electrical employees of the Home tel
ephone and Oregon Electric railway
systems in the valley had struck as
a result of the call. However, Mr.
Miller, confirmed the report that the
call for a strike was issued and in
cludes the electrical workers of the en
tire valley and other sections of the
Northwest, but he stated that as a
result only one man had walked out
here and that all of the men were
still on the job at Corvallis.
According to Mr. Miller, the strikers
are demanding a -t minimum wage
scale per day and are calling for the
discharge of all of the old employees
of the company and in fact all o'f the
unauthorized electricians who are not
members of the electrical union. At
present all of the employees of the
Home comnanv have been receiving
daily wages of from $2.75 to $4 based
upon the experience and ability of the
worker.
Mr. Miller states that in Portland
only a few of the electricians of the
telephone company responded1 to the
call, especially the employees of the
local division, who express themselves
as thoroughly satisfied with the treat
ment accorded them by the company
here with , reference to wages and
work hours.
