Another Railroad
THE Interstate Commerce Commission's order to the
Union Pacific System to construct a railroad from
Crane to Crescent Lake, a distance of 185 miles, has
much significance for Klamath Falls. The road, if con
structed, bring another transcontinental line to this
ounty and if it eomes to the county, why ihould it not
tnter this cityT
' Klamath basin, left high and dry for many years
Ss far as rail service was concerned, now has two major
lines serving it. True, the Great Northern has not
launched a regular service but it is here and biding time
until the Interstate Commerce Commission says it may
jo on south. The Southern Pacifie handles the bigger
share of its traffic over the Klamath Falls division, giv
ing this, section splendid sen-ice and disbursing extensive
payrolls.
What has transpired in Klamath Falls and the basin
ts but a forerunner f the development to come, and
which now appears close at hand. We are approaching
the culmination of that dream of the master railroad
builder, E. H. Harriman, who more than a quarter of a
tentury ago visualized the settlement and development
of this great outdoor land, and but for whose untimely
demise the development now taking place should have
been accomplished years earlier.
Oregon's Public Service Commission mapped out a
program of railroad building seven years ago. Klamath
Falls has already reaped ' the benefit of this program
to the extent of two railroads and there is reason to
believe that a third major line will come here. One of
the principal lines advocated aa of unlimited benefit
to the state was the Crane-Crescent Lake railroad. The
other roads have been built and this one alone remains
to be accomplished. When it is in operation Oregon will
have a more direct line to the east for a very large por
tion of the state and Klamath Falls is so situated as to
derive direct benefit from it.
There appears to be ample reason for this section to
urge the building of this line and steps should be taken
) back up the Interstate Commerce Commission in its
decision.

Detroit News: Opponents of

made a treat discovery, on hlch
the? base a strenuous argument
Tbey gar that to arm a merchant
hip with six-Inch (ana makes her
vessel of war, aad than they
point out-for example, the Army
and Nary Journal that on a
d. 000-ton basis Great Britain and
her dominions hare 1,367 Teasels
and the United States 1,380; on
aa 8,000-ton baaie. Great Britain
414, America 143: on a 10,000
ton basis. Great Britain 225,
America SO ships.
Assuming the accuracy ot these
figures, the fact remains that in
ease ot war Great Britain must be
victualed from outside, while the
United States pot only grows
enough food '"r herself, but ex
sorts raet quantities. Great Brit
Sin, therefore, might arm her mer
chantmen, but she would not be
able to use many of them as In
lagers of her nary; aa in the last
war, she would still need the vast
majority ot them for her carrying
trade. Germany, with all her nary
but a few submarines swept from
the seas or bottled up In harbor,
was nevertheless able to bring the
British Isle within a few weeks
of narration. Does anyone in),
glne that British statesmen do
not take these matters Into ac
count when they proclaim that
war with the United Btstes is n.
thinkable?
i Our big nary men still continue
to think in terms ot an Anglo

has been guarded against In treaty

Great Britain aays is unthinkable

Why We Contend Santford & Co.
IS UNFAIR
The Meat Cutters & Butchers Union, Local 866. wish to call the
public's attention to the reason why we believe Santford Co. have
established their firm as unfair to organized labor in this city.
Our contract with eighteen butcher shops and packing plants here
calls for" 9 hours work each day except Saturday and 10V4j hours
on Saturday, All have signed that contract snd that has become the
working conditions agreement in this district
The Santford & Co. store was requested to sign such a contract
several times but refused to do so.
We felt that our contract was entirely American and In accord
with present day policies ss practiced between employer and employe
throughout a great portion of the nation. When ws were repeatedly
refused by the store named the only thing we could do was to place
it on the unfair list
