PAflE ETA TIT
OPEN WEEK UTER
The date for the opening; of the
Mcdiorc public schools has been an
nouncod as Monday, September 11.
Superintendent Aubrey G. Smith
state.s that this is a week later than
at first had been planned and Is as
yet undecided as to what arranire
mentn will be made for pupils to at
tend the county fair, although some
time will undoubtedly be allotted for
this.
Practically the cntlro iorce of
teachers has been engaged and new
assignments will bo announced at nn
early date. Several additional teach
ers may have to be engaged If an In
crease In enrollment over Inst year
occurs. The school board is planning
to take care of -the crowded condition
at the Washington school this year by
erecting a portable room on the
grounds Instead of sending pupils In
the Washington district to the Roose
velt school.
Miss Beatrice Oaylnrd of Central
Point will take the place of English
instructor at tho high school, which
was vacated by Miss Marshall, win,
was married this summer. Miss Ruth
Cronk had bcon engaged to tako the
place, but resigned to accept a no
ritlon In the same capacity in Spo
kane. Other Instructors in tho high
school English department who
were here last year will occupy tho
Siiino positions this year.
Eddie Durno. V. of O. basketball
star, will coach the Mcdford teams In
nil branches of athletics this year,
and according to Mr. Smith, is look
ing forward to n very successful ath- f
lean law and order," and announced
his intention to Invoke laws, civil and
criminal, forbidding conspiracies hin
dering inter-state commerce and re.
quiring safety fu railway service.

END OF STRIKE IN SIGHT
(Continued from page one)
"The strike must be settled," he
continued, "and it mtwt be settled
right here at these meetings. Condi
tions over the country demand that a
settlement be made at once and we
a. re optimistic that it can be done
soon. The five brotherhoods are
ready to do anything possible to bring
present conditions to an end."
Railway executives and brother
hood chiefs went into session at
10:.'tO o'clock.
"We are optimistic that It can be
done." said Mr. -Stone, and other
labor men echoed his words. No
statement was forthcoming from rep
resentatives of the railroads.
Uptown at their hotel head
quarters, leaders of tho striking shop
crafts professed confidence in the
ability of the running trades, who as
sumed the part of mediators, to bring
about peace on the roads.

ing on righteous wage adjustment and
demand constructive solution.
("Because of these things, because of
the impression of many cases of un
justifiable profits in the industry and
because public interest demands inves
tigation and demands the finding of
racts be given to the public, 1 am ask
ing at your hands tho authority to
create a commission to make a search
ing investigation into the whole coal
industry, with provisions for its lawful
activities and the bestowal of author
ity to reveal every phase of coal pro
duction, sale and distribution. I am
speaking now on behalf of mine workers,-mine
operators and the public.
I want to point the way to continuitv
of production and better economic
functioning of the industry in the near
future.
"The necessity for such a searching
national investigation with construc
tive recommendation is Imperative. At
the moment the coal skies are clearing
uut unless we find a cure for the eco
nomic ills which affect the industry
and therein find a basis for righteous
relationship, we shall be faced with a
like menacing situation on next April
on the expiration of the wage contracts
which are now being made
It is the regretable truth that the
federal government cannot act under
tne law. But the bestowal of the au
thority necesasry to enable federal
courts to act appropriately will open
me way to punish barbarity and
butchery at Hcrrln or elsewhere, no
matter in whose name or for what
purpose the insufferable outrage is
committed."
condemning what he termed "the
warfare on the unions of labor," he
declared of the labor unions
"It Ib public interest to protect
them and profit by the good that is
in them, but we must check the
abuses and the excesses which con
flict with public interest, precisely
as we have been progressively legis
lating to prevent capitalistic, corpor
ate or managerial domination which
Is contrary to the public welfare. No
matter what clouds may gather, no
matter what storms may ensue, no
matter what hardships may attend
or what sacrifice may be necessary,
government by law must and will be
sustained," the president concluded
"Wherefore, I am resolved to use
all the power of the government . to
maintain transportation and sustain
the right of men to work."
1 Vp to IjiIkm- Hoard
Passing to the railroad strike, the
president outlined the government's
position as insisting that "the labor
hoard was the lawful agency of the
government to hear and decide dis
putes and Its authority must be sus
tained as the law contemplates."
Mentioning failure of carriers to put
into efefct the board's decisions In
Beveral cases, ho continued:
"The law creating the railroad la
bor board Is Inadequate. Contrary
to popular impressions, it has little
or.no power to enforce its decisions.
It can impose no penalties on either
party disregarding its decisions It
cannot halt a strike and manifestly
congress deliberately omitted the
enactment of compulsory arbitration.
The decisions of tho hoard must bo
made enforceable and effective
against carriers and employes alike.
But the law is new, and no perfection
of It by congress at this moment
could be helpful in the present
threatened paralysis of transporta
tion." Strike Action Explained '
Outlining his efforts at negotia
tion of tho railroad strike, the presi
dent said of his proposal for restora
tion of strikers' seniority rights: y
"I realized that the proposal must
carry a disappointment to employes
who had inherited promotion by stay
ing loyally on the job and to such new
men as had sought jobs looking to
permanent employment; but I want
ed the fresh start and maintained
transportation service, and I apprais
ed the disappointment of the few to
be less Imporant than the Impending
misfortune to tho nation.
"It was not what I would ask ord
inarily to be considered or conceded,
but at that moment of deep anxiety,
with the coal shortage gravely men
acing, I was thinking of the press
ing demands of the welfare ot the
whole people. I believed the sacrifice
brought to the men Involved could
be amply compensated for by the car
riers In practical ways.
Rejection of this proposal by the
carriers, the president said, "left the
government only ono course to call
the striking workmen to return to
work, to call the carriers to assign
them to work, and leave the dispute
about seniority to the labor board for
decision
"Thus the narrative brings us to
the present moment, .but It has not
Included the developments which
have heightened the government's
concern.
"Men who refused to strike and
who have braved insult and assault
and risked their lives to serve a putt-
ltc need have been cruelly attacked
ami wounded or killed. Men seeking
work and guards attempting to pro
tect lives and property, even officers
of the federal government have been
assaulted, humiliated and hindered
in their duties.
