By PAUL MALLON.
WASHINGTON, D. O., May 34.
7ou cannot believe all you Lear from
Washington. A. an Instance, It now
appears .that tho
wrath of the ad
ministration will
not descend, as
advertised, upon
the heads of all
rebellious Demo
cratlo ' congress
men. Speaker Balney
has, In fact,
quietly been
striking names
off his secret
blacklist so fast
that ther. are
few left.
Paul Mallon
One of the names on It was that ot
a semi-southern Democrat. Early In
the session, he was bitter against the
Kalney-Byrnes leadership and fre
quently opposed Roosevelt legislation.
The other day, he made a public
statement of praise for Speaker
Ralney and almost immediately Ji.
was appointed to a Juicy position on
the Democratic patronage commirae.
A Democrat from a Pacific coast
state fared even better. He was the
No. 1 man on the original blacklist.
Recently he paid tribute to the
r.r-at Ralnev-Byrnes generalship
in KTieech from the floor. Soon
thereafter, Floor leader Byrnes wrote
him a letter strongly approving him
for re-election.
has replaced
backbiting so extensively that Mr.
Ralney recently appeared in in
.nn mnvl. ntW Kel With . flrst-
term Democrat from Montana. Floor
Leader Byrnes wrote anotner lerar
Mi.A-tnw fAiiK n,eM At the eonirres-
fmt a crnvernment
' estimated at 55 per page) praising a
guir State uemocrano wusiu.
A Texas representative is ubuih icu
"'tefs "from both Ralney and Byrnes
saying how good he la. In answer to
an Inquiry from the middle west,
Ralney also publicly approved a con
greaswoman. although she had "op
posed the administration on veterans'
legislation."
Such tactics are extremely unusual
In advance of the primaries. Theso
"congressmen are "not" running for
re-election yet. but only for renom
lnatlon aa Democrats.
The participation of Mr. Byrnes Is
even more extraordinary because he
is chairman of the Democratic con
gressional campaign committee, which
keeps out of the primaries and ac's
only after Democratic nominations
have been made.
The reason for It Is not hard to
find.
When the house was in revolt on
veterans' restorations, pay cuts and
other matters, an impression was cre
ated by the party leaders that tho
revolters were going to be made to
suffer. Aspiring young Democrats out
through the country thought that
afforded a splendid opportunity for
them to get elected to congress. They
announced themselves In great num
bers aa opponents of sitting congress
men on the ground that those now
holding office did not stand with
president Roosevelt.
As a result, the congressmen have
been running to Ralney and Byrnes
on their hands and knees, asking for
statements of approval.
When the bars were let down, nearly
all the wolves had been given
sheep'a clothing.
Underlying all this la the fact that
both the house and the senate have
a certain camaraderie and club-like
atmosphere on the Inside.
When misfortune befalls them, they
usually let bygones be bygones, and
Sympathize n hclP "ch otnr-
The sllverltcs were not as enthusi
astic about their new stiver bill as
they pretended, although It was ex
actly what Mr. Roosevelt promised
them week. ago.
Floor Leader Robinson picked Sen
ator Key Plttman to Introduce the
bill In the senate, because Plttman
has been the only silverlte with whom
the administration has worked close
ly. The final draft came from the
treasury and White House, where tlw
administration worked It out In con
ference with all the silver group.
One silver enthulast, In his despair,
described It In the cloak-room as "a
,.... ..fa " Another said: "It SU
thorlres them to do something for
silver when and If tney want mi.
tv,. .nn far mien fecllnffa are
numerous. One Is there are Just a.
many different kind of snveritea as
there are mosquitoes. Each likes a
Hiffi.rr.nt kind of meat. For tn-
xtanM. the main reason Senator
Thomas has been so active for silver

out of the way so we can have some

Another reason Is that the allverltes

National Guard troop, opened fire on
strike sympathizers In a third day of
rioting at the Electric Auto-Lite fac
tory.
The firing followed hand-to-hand
fighting which took place when a
volley of rifle shots fired over the
heads of rioters failed to disperse
them.
Col. William L. Marlln, second In
command of the troops here, told re
porters that no ordera to shoot had
been given, and expressed the opinion
that the soldiers had "lost oontrol."
As the firing In earnest began, the
crowd of rioters and apectatora which
grew eteadlly, fell back, the wounded
screaming as they fell to the ground.
Cries of the Injured mingled with
curses and shouts of defiance of the
rioters.
The trooper, had endured the Jeers
and Insults of the crowd since 10
a. m. They had replied to brick bar
rages with a bombardment of tear
and "knock-out" gaa.
"We are on the defensive here,"
aid Col. Marlln. "We Intend to pre
serve order."
Although machine guns were
mounted near the scene of the shoot
ing, first .reports .aid they were not
Used. At least 5000 persons were
crowded in streets near the plant
watching the battle and participating
in It.
MAHONEY'S POLICE
SQUEEZE VISITOR
FOR PALTRY
R. F. Slngler, manager of the Un
ion OH company station at the cor.
ner ot Main and Fir streets, today
sent the following letter to Mayor
Mahoney of Klamath Falls, which re.
late, an Interesting experience he
had In that city yesterday:
Hon. William E. Mahoney,
Klamath Falls, Ore.
Dear Sir: I wish to take this op
portunity to mention an Incident
that happened while In your city
May 23, 1034. I parked my car on
Main street, and my folks went shop
ping. I walked to the corner and
back and on the way back I noticed
one of my front tires was low, so
I walked up to It and kicked It to
test the pressure; then walked upon
the sidewalk again. Then one of
your police officers approached me
and aald: "So you're obliterating my
markings, are you?" I answered: "No,
sir, I was Just inspecting my tire:
anyway, you marked the rear tire
and I was testing the front one."
"So you're going to get smart with
an officer, are you? Well, you can
come along with me to the city hall."
At the city hall I was booked for
disorderly conduct and talking back
to an officer. When asked It I were
guilty or not, I answered: "Not
guilty." TJie magistrate aaid: "Well,
we could get you an attorney, but
our officer, here, Mr. Dan Hayea, 1.
under oath, so It won't be necessary.
I assess you a fine of 15."
I told him I didn't have It. He
said:' "Well, It's two and one-half
day. In Jail then." The officer (Dan
Hayea) then took m. down stairs to
a room where he proceeded to search
me. I auggested that maybe I could
borrow the money. He said: "Go get
It; that was what they wanted was
the money." So I went out and
borrowed It.
Now, naturally, A raw deal of this
sort didn't set very well, and since
that time I have learned that that
waa quite the custom with the force
In power In Klamath Falls
Just from my own experience, you
may take It from me, I'll direct all
the trafflo away from Klamath Falls
that I can come In contact with. I
do not want other, to be humiliated
by similar Incidents.
Thankieaven, we have a city ad
ministration here In Medford that can
work within their budget, and do
not resort to such petty practices lo
raise money.
Yours truly.

Railroad tonnage originating In Otf

over last year, according to a careful
survey by five railroads operating
here.
The line, pointed out that thla In
crease Is Independent of whatever
business has been gained temporarily
by the waterfront strlks at coast
ports.
Government activity Is responsible
for a great deal of the gains. Work
at Bonneville, at Grand Coulee, Fort
Peck and at many other placea has
resulted in a great Increase In ship
ments of materials such as cement,
gravel, aand, rock and construction
equipment and supplies. There haa
Been considerable business In move
ment of relief supplies, as well.
Alcohol shipments mean a con
siderable revenue to the railroads,
and business In automobiles, refrlg-

these are carried aa transcontinental
shipments.
Some railroads have added men to

Swanson's Insistence on maintenance
of the 5-83 treaty naval ratios as
among the United States, Oreat Brit
ain and Japan, evoked today a strong
official expression of Japan's refusal
to agree to an. extension of present
limitations and agreements beyona

new agreements fairer and more rea
sonable and affording Japan genuine
assurance of security." said Bear
Admiral Tsuneyoshl Sakano, chief of
the navy office's propaganda bureau,
In a written statement to the press.

was framed to meet special conditions
immediately after the war and now
long outdated."

Construction of a temporary wood
en trestle by Southern Pacific rail'
road engineers will be started soon
near the site of the Pacific highway
crossing. It will be used for trains
while the construction of the new
highway underpass route Is under
way. Southern Pacific engineers con
ferred yesterday with the county
court on the matter.
The bids for the highway work
will bo let by the state highway com
mission at a meeting scheduled for
June 7.
It was necessary for the railroad
to make a detour so the state high
way commission could conduct exca
vating and build abuttments for the
crossing. It Is expected that the
work will take a month or six weeks
but will be rushed as soon as the
bids are let.
