TO BE SENT- TO
CITY WOOD PILE
Drastic Action Taken By City
I Council to Reduce Vagrant
1 Population Dozen Buck
i Saws Purchased Pay 50
Cents Pec Cord. 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."

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

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

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."
