Determined - that war transportation shall not be tied up by a strike, the president today has under consideration not only the refusal of. the big four brotherhoods to arbitrate their wage demands, but also the crit ical freight congestion, car shortage and railroad finance problems. A dic tatorship similar .to the government control of food, fuel, priority and shin- ping is being urged officially to turn tne country's railroads completely and solely into a war machine.

Moral sup port may not be given the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen by the Brother hood of Looomotive Engineers in case the vte of the former, in progress now, leads to a situation that would handi cap the natin at war. In a ringing statement wiia patriot ism its keynote, W. S. Stone, president of the engineers, representing 75,000 of them, told the United Press today the engineers "place love of country ahead of everything" , "We are sitting tight, waiting to see what develops in the nation 's in ternational crisis," Stone said.

"Mr. Marshall signed a contract with us two years ago," Ellison said "He kept putting us off until we be gan to think we would have to drop the matter. Finally ho consented to come and here he is."

I he ' association was organized during the last state fair and is now preparing to ask the legislature to appropriate funds to make the fair independent of admission fees and concession charges. The benefits derived from displays and competitions is lost the exhibitors de clared, because the gate admission and th9 cost of getting to the fair prevent attendance of people who would be most helped by it. The exhibitors outlined plans for or ganizing all county fairs in Oregon, to gether with the statu fair, into a strong and effective organization for the indus trial development of the state. Under the plans proposed all exhibits in fairs would be standardized. Cash jj", prizes would be eliminated. No admis sion fees would be charged. Many ob jectionable entertainment features would be abolished and the fairs be made purely educational exhibitions, while the expense of holding county fairs and the state fair at Salem would be borne by the people through direct taxation.

This was the explanation offered to day by Peter J. Pearson, Fargo, N.-.D for killing William J. Collins last night. Pearson pulled the trigger with de liberation, ending a search of more than a year. Pearson even smiled when Col lins tried to say the woman forced her attentions on him. According to Pearson, his wife and Collins had berths in the same sleep ing car during a trip to Fargo in Oc tober, 1916.

Placed Obstructions On Street Car Track Tuesday night some persons placed a pile of heavy planking that had been used on Washington street in laying the curbing, and part of which had been placed as a guard to prevent the use oi the street untii tho cement had hardened, across the street car track on South Commercial where it crosses Washington. As it is only about live minutes from tho time the car passes south until it rotujns to this point tho parties must have worked rapidly. There was a heavy fog and the car coming in was running at good Bpeed when tho obstructions were seen by the motorman who threw on tho brakes but could not prevent the car striking the obstructions with much force. For tunately the car was not derailed, but all its wheels were added to the "flat" class. What object the persons had is net even guessnble, unless it was either a desiro t- deliberately in jure the car eompai, 0r a practical joke. Neither of these explanations seems tenable, but if there are any other, no one but tho guilty parties know what it was. " Take care of the pennies and tha war taxes will take care of themselves.
