ing that was free and one that was
vhown to make money. He was in fa
vor of a sacred program Sunday night
for the Chautauqua. Mr. Albert could
not see why miuisters objected to Sun
day night shows provided they were
educational or religious.
The Rev. James Elvin, who originat
ed the moving picture idea as part of
the Hunday evening services, conld see
no objection to the proposed show ui
the Chautauqua Sunday evening, espe
cially as it was a moving picture reel
showing scenes in the Antarctic ocean,
educational as well as instructive.
The Itev. Carl 11. Elliott, of the Pres
byterian church, snid the ministers
wished to safeguard the sacrcdncss of
the (Sabbath, especially now that so
many attractions were calling the peo
ple away from services.
A. A. I.ec remarked that it was too
late to change the program this year,
but that the board could insist on a
sacred program for Sunday night. Next
year, the Ellison-White people could be
told just whnt the people wanted, nnd
if the board decided to have no Sun
day entertainment, there would be
none.
"People who do not believe in en
tertainments Sunday evening can stuy
way," said Joseph H. Albert, "and
preachers who are not favorable, may
hold their usual Sunday evening serv
ices." C. K. Knowlnnd was anxious to know
whether the ministers would fight the
ChautiHlqna, and what uttitudu the min
isters would hold towards their mem
bers, who did attend. We do not want

The Rev. F. T. Porter was in favor

board. Mrs. I K. Page, Rev. Carl 11.
Elliott and Rev. F. T. Porter were ap
pointed a ( nittee to arrange the serv

President Epley expressed Hie opin
ion that he hoped the ministers would
not hold out against the Chautauqua
this year. Next year there would be no
Hunday night show.
Tho committee on location selected
the baseball grounds of Willamette uni

was given to Dr. pnnoy and the trustees
for offering free these grounds.

Board Did Not Vote
On Superintendent
H. 1.. Clark, the new member of the
school board opened the session of the
directors last evening, called to consider
applicants for the positioa of superin
tendent o'f the city schools, by propos
ing the name of Henry F. Durham,
principal of the Lincoln school, at a
salary of $2,250. Mr. Durham has been
in charge of the Lincoln school for sev
eral years at a salary of $ 1,100.
As there was no second to his mo
tion, and as the consideration of Mr.
Din hum's nnnio on Mr. Clark's motion
would prevent the board from discussing
the qualifications of the 27 candidates
who had applied, no action was taken,
espei ially as Mr. Durham had made no
tipplicntinu for the position in w.itingj
o oriiiiy.
The applications and endorsements
were then read by Clerk Hiirghurdt,
with the decision of the bourd to let the
matter rest until next Wednesday ev
ening. la the general remarks that follow
ed on tho application from the commer
cial department for several books, Su
perintendent Elliott remnrked that he
considered that department the most,
useful and practical in the entire school
and that it was operated at a less cost
per capita than any other department
in the school.
Supplies for the year will be pur
chased in large lots and Superintendent
Elliott was asked to submit to whole
salers a list of these supplies needed,
asking for bids.
The proposed well at the McKinlev
school will not be dug at present, at
least until the board consults with J.
P. Rogers, who is sinking a well near
the school. Several members of the
board expressed a preference of having
the water of Mr. Rogers instead of ex
pending n sum close of $500 for sinking
a well.
Portland, Ore., July 1. "A jury of
women should try this case," Mrs. Mar
garet Sanger said today, referring to
her arrest on a charge of distributing
literature in the form of pafiphlets on
family limitation.
"It is women ho are vitally con
cerned in birth control not men," she
asserted.
Mrs. Sanger appeared none the worse
for having spent one night in jail. She
had refused to give bail, and remained
in custody until Chief of Police Clark i
ordered that she be released on her own j
recognizance. I
"Portland is the first city to inter-1
fere with my work since 1 left New
York," saiil Mrs. Sanger today. "It
is strange to me that the information
I am trying to give wsmen is harm
ful and immoral in Portland and no
where else. There are no laws in any
country iu the world against disseminat
ing information of this sort except in
the I'nited States."
Mrs. Sanger was arrested meet
ing of protest, against the arrest of
three men for selling her pamphlets.
Late yesterday she testified at the trial
of these three men. Hr testimony was
brief. Municipal Judge I.angguth took
the examination into his own hands.
"What wonld you say, Mrs. Sanger,"
queried the court, "if a Mrs. Jones or
a Mrs. Brown bought one of these
pamphlets and lost it on the street and
wss picked np by a 14 year old girlf
Wonlo you think it unfortunate?"
"Before I went into this work I con
sidered that question," responded Mf.
Sanger. "I do not think there is i
thing in this book that would be harm
ful to a girl of that age."
Mrs. Sanger will apepar in conft to
day when her attorney will argue for a
dismissal of the charge against her and
three other women arrested at the same
time. Judge I.angguth will not decide
the cases of the three men until next
week.

Federal Mqnniiry on
IRallroadl Strike?
Faced by demands from the conductors, engineers, firemen and brakemen that
would impose on the country an additional burden in transportation costs of $100,000,000
a year, the railroads propose that this wage problem be settled by reference to an
impartial Federal tribunal.
With these employes, whose efficient service is acknowledged, the railroads have no
differences that could not be considered fairly and decided justly by such a public bodyj
Railroads Urge Public Inquiry and Arbitration
The formal proposal of the railroads to the employes for the settlement of thi
controversy is as follows: j
"Our conferences have demonstrated that we cannot harmonize our differences of opinion,'
and that eventually the matters in controversy must be passed upon by other and disinter
ested agencies. Therefore, we propose that your proposals and the proposition of the rail
ways be disposed of by one or the other of the following methods:
1. Preferably by submission to the Interstate Commerce Commission, the only tribunal
which, by reason of its accumulated information bearing on railway conditions and its con
trol of the revenue of the railways, is in a position to consider and protect the rights and
equities of all the interests affected, and to provide additional revenue necessary to meet the
dded cost of operation in case your proposals are found by the Commission to be just and
reasonable; or, in the event the Interstate Commerce Commission cannot, under existing
laws, act in the premises, that we jointly request Congress to take such action as may be
necessary to enable the Commission to consider and promptly dispose of the question!
involved: or
2. By arbitration in accordance with the provisions of the Federal law" (The Ncwlands Act).
Leaders Refuse Offer and Take Strike Vote
Leaders of the train service brotherhoods, at the joint conference held in New York?
June 1-15, refused the offer of the railroads to submit the issue to arbitration or Federal
review, and the employes are now voting on the question whether authority shall be
given these leaders to declare a nation-wide strike.
The Interstate Commerce Commission is proposed by the railroads as the public
body to which this issue ought to be referred for these reasons:'
No other body with such an intimate
knowledge of railroad conditions has such
an unquestioned position in the public con
fidence. The rates the railroads may charge the
public for transportation are now largely
fixed by this Government board.
Out of every dollar received by the rail
roads from the public nearly one-half is paid
directly to the employes as wages; and the
money to pay increased wages can come from
no other source than the rates paid by the
public.
The Interstate Commerce Commission,
with its control over rates, is in a position
to make a complete investigation and render
such decision as would protect the interest
of the railroad employes, the owners of the
railroads, and the public.
A Question For the Public to Decide
The railroads feel that they have no right to grant a wage preferment of $100,000,000
a year to these employes, now highly paid ana constituting only one-fifth of all the
employes, without a clear mandate from a public tribunal that shall determine the
merits of the case after a review of all the facts.
The single issue beore the country is whether this controversy is to be settled by an impartial
Government inquiry or by industrial warfare.
