V Ther -Jd eMislOnalioii amour the lt'otxxn and Mhr units of th floating population of Mfdford following the city council's decision last night to have every homelcKn and moneyless man arrested as a vniirnnt and non tenced to saw wood at a municipal wood pile to ho established in tho city. ;Th council ordered Chief of I'olicc Timothy to purchaso a number of buck Baw and bucks, to bo lyji'd in making thin campaign to enforce the floaters to accept work locally or got out of town. Until arrangements can be made for the establishment of a municipal wood pile, tho chief was ordered, to put all such loiterers at work on tho public library wood pile. The chief decided to awnlt a day before putting the work order into effect, and lhl8 morning and forenoon went among tho homeless and Jobless men on Hnymarkct square and In tho jungles along Hear creek, warning them that starting with Thursday inorning he. would arrest every man without a homo or Job for vngranoy, ipnd If found guilty In polico court, ho would bo put to work sawlny wood. - the city will pay such sontenced vagrants only fifty cents a cord for nan-ins', nnd no money will bo paid until nftcr ench man saws his cord. 'Vlt lfl figured by tho mayor nnd councilmen that when tho news onco gets about of tho city woodpllo tho floating population all over tho stato and northwest will quickly lenrn of it and' henceforth give Hcd ford a wldo Mfrth, nnd that thoso Jobless now in to cjlty will dopart for a nioro con genial location aH soon as possible. . ; jk'Chlcf Timothy's warning of this inorning brought quick roults. An employment agent of C'hns. Dclln, tio local contractor, on Tuesday wont among tho jobless men lonflng on haymarkot placo and loitering iii tho jungles, offering them work with good pay and freo transportation on a largo contract Mr. clin has over on tjie const. Ho could not get a man to nc cept tho offer. ., By noon today ho roportod to tho chlof that already a big auto load of those same men who refuged his offor 3'estorday' had eagerly ncoptccl such jobs toduy, and nioro wore npproach Jng him for work hourly. Thoy dreadod tho wood pile, Bnd realizing that thoy could no longer live easily In, tho Hoar creek junglo and hog from house to house for food. Tho matter of driving tho con stantly Increasing hobo class from Medford and vicinity was brought to the council's attention by Mayor Gates last night, and Councilmen Ik a man but I don't think so. If you was you would pay your honest bills 1 do not care to have you waste paper on me. I am a married woman and live a clean life and have the best husband In the world. So keep your Keene, Antic, Gaddls, Miles and flutters." Dressier heartily approved of his vi grancy-niunicipal woodpile sugges tion. "There is a deplorable condition in Medford," said the mayor, with the many wanderers whq float In here, live in the thick brush along Bear creek, cither beg or get their food by their wltB as best they can, and re fuse to take jobs offered them. "Thoro Is an urgent need for la bor of all kinds on the ranches and In tho orchards, yet those men will not take jobs offered them at fairly good! pay and board. They either don't work at all or won't, work for anything -oxcopt, extremely high wages which no .one can afford to oay. fcThe prescne ot this undeslrabla claim, of men In the city Is rcnponsl- du ror much or the -petty tbeivmg nd burflary that Is going on. The quicker we can drive them out the better for the community. 'Why, the Jled Cross had urgent cnlls for 50 men at jobs tho other day, and could not get one of these men to go to work. Ed Drown had calls for jobs for 19 mon about the same time. Not one of these floating lofors would take a Job." E NE GOOD NEWS Muny Med. ford Headers lima Hoard It nml Profited Tlioniliy.

Knapp, president and man ager of the Gold Coin Quartz and Placer association, has returned from the "Alice mine" located In the Apple gate district about fifteen miles out of Grants Pass. Ho reimrts that the crew of men ho has working upon thlB property has shown up a six foot vein of $50 ore on an average, not consider ing the very high grade ore. This Is one of tho several properties belong ing to the Gold Coin Association. Work Is rapidly progressing upon tho Gold Coin mine on Forrest Creek nnd the fifteen foot lodgo upon this property, according to tho owners, is showing up some oxtromely high grndo ore.

Ijibor Bonrd WASHINGTON, Oct. 19. Tho railroad labor board will be given full Bupport of federal authority in Its endeavor to avert the national rail road strike and will be expected through the result to justify its crea tion. Tho above Btimmary of the strike situation was given in official clrclos bofore President Harding, accompa nlotl by several membors ot his cab inot, left the capital for Yorktown Va., to participate today ln colebra Hon of Yorktown day. , With the problem definitely assign ed to the labor board for solution and oach Interested branch ot the govern ment ready with 'defensive program In the event of the Btrlke materializ ing, no Important local developments were expected today. Stono Issues Statement CLEVELAJN'D, Oct. 19. "Why has not the Washington adminlstra tlon long ago taken the position that It Intonds to find out whether or not tho United States railway labor board is a useless public body Warren S. Stono, president ot tho Brotherhood of Locomotive Englnces, asked today in a statement In which comment is made on press reports that the proposed conference be tween the "big five" railroad trans portatlon leaders and the board at Chicago tomorrow is to develop tho answer to this quostlon. " "We note In the morning papers that tho railroad labor board Is going to assort its authority. It Is Btrango that it should ho discovered only when labor Is trying to hotter Us condition and Is filing a protest against further wage reductions and thatathon, and not until then, the .Unitod Stntos labor board has full authority," Mr. Stone said: Ho cited alleged Instances ot the Missouri and Northern Arkansas, tho Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic tho Pennsylvania, the Erie and "nu merous other roads," the officials ot which "havo. simply floutod the au thority of tho labor board and havo told them vory plainly nnd forcibly that thoy would not recognize them and abide by their decisions ind now at this lute date, thoy commence to talk about asserting their authority whon labor Is Interested. It the press reports are to be i belle veil the administration hna is j sued a statemont that It proposes to find out whether or not tho United I Statos lnbor board is a useless pub lic body. I ." "Why has not tho administration j taken this position long ago? The violation on the part of the railroads repeatedly has been brought to tho attention ot the administration and no action was taken." FRIENDSHIP PLEDGED SHOWN lX)lt THK LAST TIMES TODAY COMING TOMORROW "OUT OF THE SNOWS" A Powerful Drama of the Great Northlands' RIALTO j ' (Continued from Past One) ship nnd appraising anew tho way tho world Ood's good world must flharo the aspirations to rculiao tho i noblest ideals of mankind, thero is n fresh hungering for understanding, a a new call for co-operntlon, a clear j conviction of purpose and devotions' nnd loyalties not limited to sovereign ities nor national boundaries. "One need not pleturo a world sov ereignty, ruling over all the varying races, traditions and natural cultures, because It will never be. No program which seeks to sulimergo nationality wlll succeed. This republic will never surrender so priceless a heritage, will nover destroy the soul which Im pelled our gratifying attainments. In the sober circumspection, retrospec tion and introspection of these cruelnl times, we do believe there Is sanity and urgent need In bringing tho best thought ot nil great peoples Into understanding nnd co-operative en deavor which shuns the alliances In arms nnd strengthens the concords of penre, so that each may rcntixo ) rightful destiny nnd contribute its tit liuost to humnu advancement nnd r.t 1 tending human happiness."
