The 8-hour dav is accepted now in neailv all the l.irg. industries. It is recognized the employer as well as socially just. I o work a man ovei eight hours impairs his efficieiicv. There is no eailinc which entails greater strain of the locomotive engineers dreds ol human beings and worth of merchandise dependant upon them for safety. The responsibility of the railroad operative has con stantly grown with the efficiency of the railroads.

Railroad rev enues have increased per freight train per mile fronr$l.(i." in 18!)0 (o $:).:!,- in 1!)14. With the freight train crew can move a far greater tonnage than the same crew in 12 hours a decade ago. One crew is now doing the work formerly done by three or four crews and at, little more pay than they formerly received. Trainmen must work days, nighls, holidays, Sundays in all kinds of weather, with irregular hours and little lime at home with their families. mand a betterment of conditions rather than an increase in wages. Time was, and not so long ago. that the trainmen had no limit to their hours of work. And they paid the penalty. The hazardous mil we of their .employment makes it impos sible to compare their compensation with that of other oc cupations and they need a refreshed mind to minimize their hazards. The average pay per hour of freight crews in the Tint ed Slates is as follows: Ijoconitive engineers, -IS cents; firemen, III cents; conductors, -10 cents; brakenien, 2(i.7 cents, and their life is shortened hv excessive hours, ter rific strain, and accidents. other trade, the wages are low. There is a well defined suspicion that the strenuous campaign of the railroad managers against the demands of their ciimlovcs is not directed so much to prevent the S-hour dav as to secure another increase in freight and passenger rates, upon compliance with the demands of the brotherhoods for shorter working dav. 11 A strong appeal to the editors of Oregon to caretully study Ihe elfect or the present political system of Ihe slate upon the aftalrs of the people was made at the hauiiiet at the Hotel Meillord Saturday nliMu liy Kdgar II.

Best of all IMAGINE a smoker finding out for the first time what a good smoke the OWL is. First he finds it a mellow, fra grant smoke. Then a free-drawing, even -burning smoke. That's a good deal to find in a nickel cigar. But best of all is the uniformity of the OWL, safeguarded by a million dollars' worth of slowly curing leaf held in reserve. Be cause the O W L is a uni formly good smoke, you always come back to it with the same sense of satisfac tion. Haven't you found it so? THE MILLION DOLLAR CIGAR S. M.
