Salt s Strike
 May Be Over
 Next Tuesday

The strike at the Salts Textile Go. may. be settled next Tuesday when a conference between Frederick Rhodes, secretary of the concern, and other officials of the plant, with a committee of 10 employees will be held
 The committee, consisting of one person from each department of the factory, called at II o'clock this morn ing on MT. Rhodes and made an ap- pointnent for Tuesday! The company did not wish to make any decision now because the requests of the strikers are important and require thought.
 The committee stayed only a few minutes. In the time between now and Tuesday. the plant will be unable to do much work.
 The attitude Of the company is fla vorable to the men. The two-1oon system, which those who work in the plush rooms protest against, was in stalled for the sake of efficiency and the company may object to dropping it. The wages request is for a 35 per |cent increase.

 AROUND HARBOR
Hydroaeroplane in Success ful Flight From Hangar
 on Waterfront.

J. T.. Cooper took his war hydro aeroplane from the hangar in Sea view avenue yesterday afternoon, about 4;so o'clock. and cut a few ma rine and aerial didoes.
 The flight was made with MT. Cooper as pilot, and John Lannin, mechanical superintendent, as a pas senger. The air boat shot along the -harbor waters at a terrific clip for a distance of a half a mile, and then gently rose into, the air. After circ- ling in the air for a few minutes. the craft. was brought back to the water and thence taken to the han gar.
 The builders of the airboat were much pleased with it's performance. Further flights were delayed in order that additional tuning up'' of the motor might be completed.
 Another flight is scheduled for this afternoon, at about o'clock.

ELECTRIC CABLE CO.'S EMPLOYES
 ARE STILL OUT

Fifty more men quit this morning at the Electric Cable Go. and as a re- suit the. plant was closed at noon. More than 100 are now out and the fac tory has been at a standstiu since yesterday afternoon.
 The company granted the eight hour day and the same wages for 4s hours as for 55 hours. The men are still dis satisfied with conditions, however, and they continued on strike today.
 Up to this morning, 34 had left the factory and, when they quit, the work was held up so that there was nothing for the other unski1led 1aborers to do. They left this morning soon aftep g o'clock and none of the other men came back.
 T. J. Seward. superintendent of the plant, said this morning: We will close our plant this noon and all the men who are out will be automatically discharged We will open again Mon day morning at ' o'clock, and start hiring again. Those who want to come back will be received
 Mr. Seward said he met a committee of three yesterday and the committee told him it's members were perfectly satisfied. He said when he granted the eight hour day and the increased wages, he thought he had everything fixed up.

RAPHOPH HONE co, EMPL DYES CALL
 MASS MEETINC 6
Will Consider Working Con ditions in Eagles Hall
 This Evening.

Tonight at 8 o'clock in Eagles hall workers in the factory of the Ameri- can Graphophone Go. will hold a. mass meeting to discuss working conditions in the factory. The meeting was pre- cipitated by the action of General Su- perintendent R. R. Mead who is now on a vacation, in replacing men with women and girls on press work, rivet- ing machiness and light bench work. The work in question has always been done by men since the factory was es- tabliShed- The women and girls who have replaced the men do not receive as high wages as the men yet it is said they are required to do as much work. The men say if the women are to have their jobs they should get the same wages as men.
 A large number of lathe, screw ma chine hands and others whose employ ment makes them eligible for member ship in the Machinists' union have filed applications which will be acted upon tonight and they will be received into the union on Monday. The Graph ophone employees want the shorter work day and better working condi- ttons and will probably formulate de- mands at the meeting tonight to be presented to the factory management by a committee tomorrow night. The fGraphophone factory has been notably considerate of it's employees. especially under. the regime of the late T. H. Mcdonald

s.The fortress Of Nevogeorgievs the enefnyss last bulwark Sfl Poland, has been captured, after stubborn resist ance- -
 "The entire garrison including over 20 900 men and an enormous stock of war material fell into our hands.
 ..The Emperor left for Novcgeor- g1eYsk in order to give9the thanks of himself and the fatherland to the lead CT fof the attack, General Won BeselersS and his troops.''
 The left wing of Field Marshal Won Mackensen's S army has driven the Russians behind Koterkamulva, south west of Brest-Litovsk, German army headquarters also announced today.
 The capture of Novogoergievsk has been foreseen since the fall of War saw. When the general Russian re- treat was made from the Warsaw sa;-1 fIent Grand Duke Nicholas, the Russ sian ommander-1n-chief,t elected to leave garrison in the fortress, rather than evacuate this position. as 1t was recognized that the only question was how long the defenders would be, able to hold out The Grand Dukes de- cisfon apparently was due to the stra- tegicaI position of the fortress. So long as the Russians retained it they were able to stop communication on the VistuIa river. Novogeorgievsk is 19 miles northwest of Warsaw and is situated at the. junction of the Wis tula, Narew and aW1ra rivers. On ac- count Of it's position it was described by an Associated Press correspond ent who visited 1t yesterday as a second Vicksbnrg.
 For nearly two weeks the fortress has been completely invested by the Germans, and several of the outlying forts were captured early this week. Novogeorgievsk was strongly defend ed and was said to have been equipped with sufficient ammunition and food supplies for a long period. Its speedy capture doubtless represents another triumph for the great German and Austrian siege guns:
 Pieces of the heaviest calibre were brought up for the attack.
 The usual daily statement from Ger man army headquarters which was is- lasued today. several hours after the special bulletin announcing the fall of Nogogeorgievsk, says that the com plete garrison at that fortress consist ed of 5000 men. Of these, the state ment adds, more than. 20, 900 were cap tured in yesterdays battle alone 1 The early bulletin from Berlin stated that the entire garrison was captured l by the Germans. It is not clear, how ever, whether a considerable |part of the total of 85 900 escaped

 The strike was called for 1 o'clock and a. committee from the men were asked to confer with the officials of the, company. MT. Ludlum said that several propositions were made by the men and, the officials after explain ing that it would be impossible to grant them asked the men to go back to work and think it oyer'' and con fer with them tofnorrow. The men decided to go out. The men are from no particular trades but among them are many buffers. .-
 The company employs several hun dred girls but as yet there has been no strike movement among them, and they are still at work.

EIGHT PASSENGERS, SCORE OF CREW BELIEVED TO HAVE DIED
 IN TORPEDOlNC OF TIE ARABIC

London Aug. zo.3The best informa- efon now available indicates that score or more persons lost their lives in the sinking of the White Star liner Arabic By German submarine yes terday morning off the south coast of Ireland
 pr. Edmond F. Wood of Janesvflle, fvVs.ss and Josephine L. Brugurie. an American who had lived in Europe for some years, are missing
 Tn all, about 400 of the 423 persons on board the Arabic have been accounted for The fate of the others is still in doubt, but as the hours lengthen since the Arabic met with swift disaster, hopes that the others may have been saved are fading.
 The announcement that all but eight of fhe passengers were saved bore ont

 Captain William Finch of the Ara bic, gave testimony to the heroisrn of his engineers and fremen, several of whom remained at their posts to the last to insure the safety of the pas sengers. and probably sacrificed their lives. Other survivors say that the torpedo which rent the Arabic's hull killed outright several men in the boiler rooms. The torpedo struck on the starboard side about 100 feet from the stern near the location of the boil CT rooms.

GAR WORKERS
 GET BETTER CONDITIONS

The 50 hour week and 55 hours pay was granted yesterday by the Trum- bull Motor Gar Go. There is little likelihood of granting the eight hour day, according to A. H. Trum bull pres ident and treasurer of the company.
 Fifty workn1en of the company left the factory yesterday afternoon, but according. to MT. Trumbull they were put only. about an hour. He said they 1sked for 60 hours pay and the 50 aour week, but he compromised by granting the 5 hours pay No over time work is done at the factory.

Pendleton Paper States That Bureau
Would Move Office to That City
if Quarters in New Federal
Building Can be Had.

From the Pendleton East Oregon
ian we take the following item, which
would lead us to believe that the
Umatilla forest office will be removed
to that city without any doubt:
President ]. V. Tallman of the
Commercial Club received letter to-
day from the forestry bureau an
nouncing that the Umatilla national
forest headquarters will be removed
to Pendleton as soon as room can be
provided in the new federal building
A statement from Postmaster
Tweedy on Thursday gave assurance
that there will be ample room for the
forest department, so this letter to
Mr.. Tallman confirms the statement
that the bureau has practically decid-
ed to remove here from the present
headquarters at Heppner. Stockmen
have long wished this change would
be made as Pendleton will be more
convenient for them in transacting
business with the forestry service.

Council Orders Excess
Gasoline Out of Town

The city council, at the regular
midmonthly meeting on Monday eve-
ming, passed resolution asking that
all gasoline, with the exception of SO
gallons to each firm, be moved with
out the city limits. The resolution
also asked that empty gasoline tanks
be removed from the city after "a
hours, since an empty tank is con-
sidered as dangerous, if not more so
than full tank.
The council also asked that all
owners of old vacant buildings be
notified to close them up by barring
the open windows and locking all the
doors. The empty building menace is
also becoming a nuisance and the
council considers that if the owners
do not value their old buildings high
enough to take care of them. the
same will be condemned by the coun
Gil and torn down.
