To the American Public: Do you believe in arbitration or indus i trial warfare? ! The train employes on ail the railroads have voted whether they will give their leaders j authority to tie up the commerce of the country to enforce their demands for a 100 i million dollar wage increase, j The railroads are in the public service your service. This army of employes is in ! . the public service your service. You pay for rail transportation 3 billion ': dollars a year, and 44 cents out of every dollar from you goes to the employes. On all the Western railroads in 1915, seventy-five per cent of the train employes earned these wages (lowest, highest and average, of all) as shown by the pay rolls Passenger Freight Yard I Run Arms Huh Art Rut Art Conductor, g ' 1878 1935 1355 Firemc. . 1317 1181 973 U19 967 1K1 1135 l 1107 1 The average yearly wage payments to all West;rn train em ployes (including those who worked only art o'. the year) as shown by the VJlb payrolls were Passenger Engineers $2038 Conductors 1772 Firemen 1218 Brakemea. ..... 921 Freight $1737 1624 973 1000 Yard $1218 1292 832 1026 A 100 million dollar wage increase for men in freight and yard service (less than one-fifth of all employes) is equal to a 5 per cent advance in all freight rates. The managers of the railroads, as trustees for the public, have no right to place this burden on the cost of transportation to you without a clear mandate from a public tri bunal speaking for you. The railroads have proposed the settle ment of this controversy either under the existing national arbitration law, or by refer ence to the Interstate Commerce Commis sion. This offer has been refused by the employes' representatives. Shall a nation-wide strike or an investigation under the Gov ernment determine this issue?

First Flax Put Through Eugene's New Plant The first flax to be handled in the Eugene flax plant was put through the machines this morning, and the equip ment wag found to run in excellent shape. Three or four loads of flax from one of the poorer fields had been brought in yesterday and today, and will be used in the making of tow, to be i used for upholBtering purposes. Better grades of the flax will be brought in from the fields within a few days, and the process of retting it will be begun. The retting tanks are being filled with the Willamette river water, which, according to Eugene Bosse, the expert in charge of the Eugene plant, is excellent for the purpose. Cutting of the flax is going forward steadily throughput the territory tribu tary to Eugene, and the work is now nearly one-half done. Eugene Guard.

Hummbg Bird Kills Two Caged Canaries Oregon City, Ore., Aug. 8 With mur der in his soul and bloud on his beak, an innocent looking little humming bird mopes todny in a canary cage at the residence of Mrs. W. W. Leete. The cage is littered with jellow feathers. Mrs. Leete declares the humming bird entered between the bars and killed her two canaries by stabbing them with its long bill. Then it was unable to escape as it had come, and there it was found, a victim of poetic justice, firmly imprisoned in the cage with its dead. Coprilill UUi by Tb. 1'icture Advertiaen.

Indiana audi recently the coaiiHidajte ' for the Indiana progressive party for' governor, this afternoon was formally '. notified of Tils nomination as a candi- j date .'or president 0' the United States j by the prohibition party. lr. Ira Landrith of Boston shortly afterward received notification of his I nomination for vice-president. The ; ceremonies were held on the lawn ofj the 11a illy home. 1 Early in his speech of acceptance I Hanly declared that ho neither ap-j proved nor accepted the initiative,; referendum and recall plank adopted liv the party at St. Paul. It was this nunk adopted by Indiana progrcxHivcs that caused him to refuse the nomina tion for governor. , Hanly devoted as much time to the Mexican situation, the tnriff and to Americanism as he did to prohibition. " We are failing and havo long failed to assure and guarantee the lives and property of Kuropean and American citizens," said Hanly. "To meet this duty in the case of Haiti and San iJouiingu hus been easy and we have met it. To meet it in the case of Mexico has been difficult and we have shirked it." Hanly said prohibition offered the best means of preparedness. He came out strong for Americanism but warned agnnst militarism in too great pre paredness. He said so far as a crisis in American life is concerned it will "make absolutely no difference wheth er Wilson or Hughes is elected," for "both ara intensely American and jealous of the nation's honor." Both love peace but cither would sacrifice it to save tho nation's honor, he said. He declared " there is no crisis.' ' Poor Reward. "ViTtue is its own reward," observ ed the alleged philosopher. "Yes," replied the other fellow, "but the reward is Beldom more than 30 bob a week." London Tnswers.
