"Oregon has no laws regulating COM
binations of capital and none regulat-
ing freight rates. Passenger fares are
limited to 4 cents per mile, but two
lines, the Northern Pacific and Oregon
Railroad and Navigation companies
have voluntarily reduced the rates to
cents. The Oregon Railroad and Navi
CATION company and Southern Paciht
company are making commendable er
| forts toward the development of theil
respective territories and have become
a great help to the people"
Regarding consolidation Governor
Geer says:
'Unless consolidation of railwa!
| companies should be followed by in
creased freight and passenger rates i
| would be difficult to see where ob1ec
tion to it would lie. If this resul
should follow, it is matter within tn
power of legislatures to control. l
may prove an easier matter to regulate
rates than to prevent consolidation"

DEMANDS PAY
FOR WORK
William Alexander Compelled to
Labor in Workhouse.
WHILE AWAITING TRIAL
For This Time When Released Yes
terday He Says He Asked Warden
Meserve for Compensation
Which Was Refused.
WHILE AWAITING TRIAL

William Alexander, after being twenty
days in the workhouse, ten days awaiting
trial during which time he was compelled
to work and ten for carrying concealed II
deadly weapon, and previous to that
time having paid 81 for disorderly con
duct, now wants pay for the ten days
he worked while awaiting trial for the
"a paid for his fine. So far he has not
received either, but his demand has
raised an interesting point and that is
whether prisoners are compelled under
the law to work while awaiting trial.
Alexander was arrested in the latter
part of October on charge of disorder
~ conduct. He was adjudged. guilty and
u fine Of 81 and costs, amounting with
| the cost of meals to 81. This was paid.
When searched in the police station a
weapon was found Oh him and charge
of carrying concealed deadly weapon
was entered against him. He was ar
raigncd on this charge and was held in
$l0O bail for the Court Of General Ses-
sions.
| Awaiting trial he says he worked for
ten days in the workhouse. Then the
upper court imposed an additional ten
days for carrying the weapon. Alexan-
der made no objection to this. But he
says that when he was released yester.
day he demanded of Warden Meserye
pay for the time he worked while
awaiting trial
| His demand was not acceded to and
he then demanded the return of the
money paid for his fine. This also was
refused him and he was referred tc
Harry II. Joslyn, clerk of Municipa
Court. He will doubtless call on Clerk
Ioslyn today.
Whether Alexander gets satisfaction
or not it is likely that the question Of
whether prisoners will be compelled t
work while awaiting trial will be giver
some consideration.

TIE swITcHMEN's STRIKE.
Indications That 1t VIII Soon BE nj

Pittsburg. Nov. 2S,--The switchmen's
strike gives evidence of rapid disin'
tegratien, and the officials of the diff
ferent railroads with terminals in
Pittsburg declare that traffic will soon
be resumed as usual.
This result is attributed largely to
the action of the Brotherhood of
Trainmen at their two meetings In de-
eiding against assistance and sympa'
thy for the strikers.
At the yards of the Baltimore and
Ohio the officials reported full crews at
work and everything proceeding salts
factorily. Nearly 100 men from sub
divisions of the road We're brought in,
and these, with the old men who had
returned to work, were on duty. Fart
of the new men were sent to the Pitts
burg and Western yards at Willow
Grove and to the Pittsburg Junction
road.
The Pittsburg and Western officials
reported nine crews, the regular mum
ber, at work, with trains moving as
usual.
A number of the old men, they said
had applied for their former positions
but were refused work.
On the Allegheny Valley railroad
which suffered the most from the
strike, the tracks were still filled witt
freight cars.
The Pittsburg and Lake Erie super
intendent said all crews were working
full and the strike was over with them
Some of the old men, he said, had re
turned, and those still out would no

Before one Of the largest crowds of the
season Delaware football eleven defeated
the Lebanon Valley College team by the
score of to 0 on the Union street
grounds yesterday afternoon. But for
several loose plays Delaware would have
defeated the visitors by at least Is
points. Taking into consideration the visit
ing teams good record against such
teams as Franklin and Marshall, Car
Isle and Lchigh, Delaware as well as
the majority of the attendance We're
well pleased with the score. Delaware
lost several chances to score on fun
bles, but outside of this the team play
ed good game. 1t is estimated that
the attendance was about 2,000
The game was scheduled to start at

of the largest crowds of the season had
gathered on the grounds. Both teams
arrived in town yesterday morning and

both teams were taken to the grounds in
one Of the special cars of that COM
pany. The large crowd that attended
kept moving about ana i'll that way
managed to keep warm. The teams
came on the field about the same time and
occupied A few minutes in signal prac-
tice. Although il had been previously
announced that the teams We're about
evenly matched as far as weight was
concerned il could be seen at glance
that Delaware was outwcighed by al
least eight pounds to the man. Tho bet
ting before the game was even money
and in a few instances odds We're Offered
on Lebanon Valley ON account Of that
