Gentlemen: -
Tho situation In tho Traffic Work

tho work and accomplish the results
for which you employed mo.
As you know, the reduction of
freight rates Is one of tbo biggest
problonis confronting tho buslnoes
men of this city, and the entire com
munity, today. Every day tho, rates
continue at tholr present high loveL
costing tho pooplo of tbo county hun
dreds of dollars. ,
Tho work to be done Is big: It
must bo centralised: It must be la
chargo of one responsible head, or It
will fall again aa it din aeiore. .. , ,.
If wo win we must present solid
front or suffer the disappointment of
half victory, or none at all.
As matters stand today, wo have
no hoad to tho traffic work. Nomi
nally, 1 am Traffic Manager. I have
been employed by you for one year,
to accomplish certain things, but

There will be a box social and

V,-
tlon I bad that, such a. situation exist
ed. I wlrod Mr. Stanley detailing con
ditions and asked blm to wire author
ity to represent tho Chamber of Com
merce. That, telegram was noyer
answered while I was In Son Fran
cisco and I waltod two days for it.
'1 succeeded In getting a bearing
and got the Information I went af
ter, and got Mr. Luce's promise to
come up and visit Klamath' Falls per
sonally, which he did.
Hegardlng the meeting called by
the Chamber of Commerce when
traffic men from San Francisco,
Portland and Medford wero here:
Sunday evening, Mr. Stanley Inform
ed me over tho telephono that It waa
not necessary for me to bo present.
These Illustrationscould be repeated
with but slight variation when ap
plied to every question regarding
traffic work that has arisen nlnco my
visit to San Francisco.
Rate attorneys have been employed
to take our case before the Interstate
Commerce Commission. The com
plaint that was prepared by them waa
sent horo for the slgnaturo of tho
president and traffic manager. I
never saw this until I asked Mr.
Stanley for same. This has been re
turned to Portland and Mr. Stanley
signed same as "Executive Secreta
ry',' i place of Traffic Manager.
I told Mr. Stanley rate .attorneys
would want data from this, end to
present our case, but ho informed mo
that this would bo unnecessary and
that he would look attor them and
that they would handle this matter.
This Information has now been asked
by tho rate attorneys.
Several days ago, Mr. Stanley sug
gested tho appointment of a commit
tee to handle this matter. This Is not
the work of a committee. Can you
afford to aire the time and attention
the magnitude of the work demands?
Lraa hired me to do thia work for you
JM.-J want to m permutes to so so
vHUMnt hampering interference and
unnecessary red tape. We may nope
to win,1 but I need the undivided
backlnr of the business men, the
Chamber of Commerce and public
sentlmfcnt. '
It la not my personal Interests that
are at stake It la tbo welfare of the
wholo community and It is this that
prompts me to take the steps I bave,
I could drift along, shirk ,tbe re
sponsibility herewith assumed and
see your Interests suffer. This would
bo tho attitude of n dianoneat em
ployee "who would prefer to place bis
personal convenience and self glory
above his plain duty to tho men who
aro paying him
I could not do otherwlso 'than I
have dono, and hopo that my action
will meet with your approval and

ii 1
Mass Meeting of Cit
izen. Tonight Will
Discuss Price of
Living and Wage
Scales.
u
A meeting of tbo citizens of Kla
math Falls will be held tonight is
the chamber of commerce rooms at t
o'clock to discuss the general eco
nomic and Industrial situation here.
There is a 'serious industrial slta
tlon-eoafrontlnc tho emDlorers f
this ttlstrict, including practically
every occupation, particularly tho
mills where the bulk of labor Is em
ployed. The hotel and restaurant
owners are troubled with a peculiar
labor situation as are tbo owners m
barber shops and many other Mka
concerns. Dabor organizations have
their grief and are ap against tho
proposition of no lessening or living,
costs, butare asked to consider a re
duction of' wages to meet the general-
production cost ofthe commodities
produced here. The, business mea
have difficulties wrthMBc miTkotlBg
of their merchandise and the general
public complain that living prices are.
too high compared with places Ilka
Medford and 'Ashland.
The mills from whence the balk at
tbo laboring mea derive their sap
port, have to deal with higher coat ka
production aad a stiff competition) tat
tho market with mills whoso prod-
aetaafa pfwdaeast at a lower
Tho Ima-zmmCtttifi Mer,
for hours! iwork than the Califor
nia producers do for 10 boars. Tha
California labor and .living prices
bavo been adjusted to permit the mill
owners to run their plant at a near
profit basts so that labor can be pro
ducing. Instead of lying Idle. Tho
situation Is at tho point now, say the
mill men and bankers, that a solution
of the situation must be made quick
ly and a general agreement perfected"
so that business conditions will con
tinue without Interruption, labor
will bo employed and a "period of,
mako tho most of It" maintained
until industrial nnd economic situa
tions are adjusted.
Labor takes the position that It
must be reckoned with In the matter
of tho living coat. Food and rents ara
higher in Klamath Falls, they ear.
than otbor places within n 100 mllo
radius and there must be a lowerlnc
of merchandise and food prices, as
woll as rent, to enablo them to meet
holr bills. Under tho present sched
ule, they assert labor must receive.
50 cents more a day than caurornia
labor. Merchants nttrlbute their pri
ces to higher transportation rates.
But tbe,ltuatton Is such that a gen
eral conference must be entered into
by all classes and a solution mada
quickly ln this city.
The mooting tonight will permit
the mill owners to present their side
rrom tho employers' standpoint and
the rinanclal situation they are forced
to moot. Tho merchant and grocery-
man will be able to submit ms cos
production to satisfy labor Inquiry;
tho employee will give his position,
and stato where tho situation pinches
him,. Tho Marshflold plan used so
successfully will be brought up as a
probablo solution to the present situ
ation and very likely President
Charles Hall ot tbo First National
Bank will be called upon to recotnt
tbe reconstruction period there un
der that plan.
The meeting la Important tonight
as It bears upon the financial situa
tion relative to tho future employ
ment and production hero and a gen
eral Invitation is ! ver' c,"m
to be present.
