Chicago President Ncwcomb Carl
ton. OF the Western Union Telegraph
company. and s. J. Konenkamp. presi-
dent Of the Commercial Telegraphers'
Union Of America, testified from
their repective viewpoints before the
United States commission on Indus
trial relations Tuesday as TO wages
and working conditions of the CONNER
cial telegraphers.
Mr.. Carlton caused q mild sensation
when, replying to a question from
Frank p. Walsh. chairman OF the COM
mission. aa TO whether telegraphers
were adequately compensated, replied:
II believe that the telegraphers are
underpaid."
"overpaid!' exclaimed Mr.. Walsh.
''No, underpaid. think they ought
to make more money than they do. So
far as can ascertain, wages have In
creased 80 per cent In the last ten
years. Ten years ago Morse teie-
grapher received $is; 1t 10 now $2S.
1t was $l3. 80 for women and now 1t Ia
$i8. My own view is that first-
class telegrapher should be able to
earn ut least So day Of nine hours.
Some of our employees, under the 80.
called premium plan, are making close
to that"
The witness said his company has
one Of the best pension and relief or
ganiEations in the country, and II costs
the men nothing. Half a million dol
lars was expended on 1t last year, he
said.

Central Potato Depot

How cooperation might be worked

compiler terms ''the financial disaster

bulletin is called Markets for Pota-
toes," makes q general survey of the
potato situation, and may be had on
application to the extension division at
Eugene.
The paragraph In question is:
1T might be advisable to establish
central depot at convenient shipping
plant readily accessible to the growers
of the district In which the association
Ia formed. To this depot all the grow
ers would ship all their potatoes,
where they would be inspected and
sorted. Only those Of the very highest
quality in every respect would be mar
keted for seed and for table use, and
these carefully packed and sold under
a name or brand that would establish
their reputation. If this high quality
was rigidly maintained and the reputa-
tion fully earned and justified Gas has
been done similarly for apples from
certain districts) premium price
above the prevailing market could be
demanded and depended upon.

ing the Consolidated Contract COM
pany, requested the board 70 have the
engineer make estimates Of the work
done by the company In that county,
90 the County court could make certain
payments. Under the law the pay
ments cannot be made until the esti-
mates are furnished. State Treasurer
Kay called attention TO the fact that
II. l.. Bowlby, ex-state highway en-
gineer, had made the estimates, but
had not furnished copy TO the county
Judge. Mr.. Cantine was instructed to
do this. Mr.. johnson said after the
meeting that the estimates of Major
Bowlby were not satisfactory TO the
company and would not be accepted.
He declared that under them the COM
pany would lose about $50, 900, and
that, IL satisfactory arrangements
could not be made with the county,
litigation would result.
A delegation from Yamhill county,
which asked for state aid, was in
formed by the board that It probably
would be helped next year. but not
this one. because Of lack Of funds.
The spokesman said Tillamook and
Yamhill counties each had raised sl5,-
900 for use on the Grand Ronde road
and suggested that the state provide
similar sum.
The appointment of the state fund
suggested by Major Bowlby was as
follows:

the floor a tiny jet of steam began play

around its cage.
