Farmers Hold 1915 Crop.

Portland, Ore, Aug. 22.-Farmers
in the wheat centers Of Oregon today
manifested an inclination to hold the
1916 crop. At Pendleton club wheat
reached SLIP, the highest of the sea-
son, and at Baker $1.19 was being
offered. Most of the farmers refuse
to sell, however, having disposed of
two crops held over from previous
years. They say they are holding the
1916 crop for speculation. Barley is
being sought at $50 a ton and oats at
$25 with little result.
In Portland bids averaged 2 cents
over last weeks top, with bluestem
at $122 and $1.23, fortyfold and fife
at $1.2O, and club at $1.18 and $1.19.

OF RETIRED OFF,
GERS FROM DISCIPLINE GETS
EXECUTIVE DISAPPROvAL.
ATTACTED BY ARMY OFFICER
A New Bill Will Be Necessary and
May Delay Adjournment of Con-
gress-Veto Of Bill Is a Con-
test of Long Standing.

Washington.-Presid Wilson has
vetoed the army appropriation bill
because of exemptions from disci-
it by the house conferees led by Rep
resentative Hay over the opposition
Of the war department. A new bill
will be necessary and may delay ad-
journment of congress.
Representative Hay said he would
reintroduce the bill in the house i'm
mediately with the features to which
the president objected eliminated. Mr..
Hay followed his announcement by
reintroducing the bill, not only the
section to which the president object
ed, but with the whole revision of
threatened to complicate the situa-
ton.
Would Head OFF Officers.
There are broad intimations that
the revision which proposed to re-
move retired officers from the juris-
diction of courtsmartial was in the
interest Of certain retired officer
who was waiting for a time when he
would be immune from discipline to
make public attack on the army.
The officer whose name was men,
toned in connection with the report
was, while in service, very active in
legislative affairs, was very close to
congressman framing army bills and,
until his retirement, was reckoned
with as a power in legislation affect
ing the army.
The presidents veto of the bill is
one of the developments of years of
contest between the army and Chair
man Hay. The downfall Of the con-
tinental army scheme and substitu-
ton of the national guard reorganiza-
ton against the recommendation of
the army officers is attributed to
him.
Only the force of President Will
sons interference put the regular ar
my increase in the new reorganiza-
ton bill through the house in the
face of Hays opposition. Recently
President Wilson appointed Hay to a
judgeship on the court of claims and
he now is serving his last term in
congress.
The war department contends that
many features of the army bill were
written into it in the conference and
never were debated in house or SEN
ate.
RanreSantativo Hav annOI1ncad that
he would seek to repass the bill in
the house under special rule next
Tuesday.
The articles of war will not be per
mitted to get through in this bill
again, he declared emphatically after
the military committee.

RAIL STRIKE NEGOTIATIONS
IN APPARENT DEADLOCK
Indicated Road Heads Will Reject the
Presidents Prosopals-Men Ac-
cept Plans.

Washington, Aug. 18.-President
Wilson's plan for settlement of the
threatened nationwide railroad strike
was accepted today by the represent
atives of the employees and taken un-
der consideration by the officials of
the roads. The word came from the
managers, however, that they had
reached no definite decision.
Hope Still Entertained.
With the situation thus apparently
at deadlock the only hope in the
situation lies in the reports that the
railroad officials may suggest coun-
ter proposals forming the basis of a
settlement, or that one side or the
other may recede from it's present po-
sition.
Thirty-one presidents and ranking
officials Of the great railroads receiv-
ed from the president this afternoon
his plan for the adoption of an eight
hour day, regular pro rata pay for
overtime and creation Of federal
commission to investigate collateral
issues. They told him they would
like to consider the question and
would report back with the commit
tee of managers which has been con-
Quoting negotiations.
Workers Approve Plan.
At the same time the general COM
mittee of $40 representatives of the
employees were approving the presi-
dents plan by large majority, and
soon after the railroad officials left
the White House the four heads of
the railroad brotherhoods delivered
to the president a letter notifying
him Of the vote. The employees COM
mittee will remain here at the presi-
dents call.
While the railroad officials would
make no formal statement, they re-
vealed clearly their objection to Mr.
Wilson's plan, and indicated that they
will press further their offer to ar
bitrate all the points at issue.
Saturday President Wilson appeal
ed to the railroad officials to aban-
don their insistence on arbitration of
the dispute threatening a nationwide
strike and to accept his plan of set.
tlement, already agreed to by the
employees, because in his opinion the
railroads are contending for a prin-
ciple which it seemingly is impossi-
BILE to apply to the present situation.
The president declared the strike
responsibility was no longer his and
said the public will fix the blame.
The transportation men insist the g.
hour day will not work.

SECRETARY BAKER SAYS COST
AND HARDsHIPs JUSTIFY
THIS ACTION.
PROTESTS ARE ANSWERED
Service Will Continue Until Frontier
Is Safe-Praises and Admiration
for the Spirit Shown by the
Militia on the Border.

WdSuluSIOu, Aug. a.. Il uc udClOudl
guard will be retained on the Mexi-
can border until it can be withdrawn
without again endangering American
lives and property. Secretary Baker
so declared the administrators pol
icy yesterday in answering score of
letters from many parts of the coun-
try complaining that the state troops
are being held in service after the
emergency for which they were call
ed out apparently has passed.
In general the complainants, whose
names are withheld, alleged that bor-
der service is entailing loss financial
ly on militiamen and hardship on
their families. The secretary replied
to all those seeming to merit atten-
ton. BY it's presence on the border,
he wrote in one, the guard is win
ming bloodless victories daily" He
declared the Americans resident on
the international line are enjoying a
peace and security they could not
know without the military forces to
protect them.
Says Haroship inevitable.
The department appreciates, Mr..
Baker said in another letter, the fact
that call for military service upon
militia organizations must Inevitably
present cases of hardship" He add
ed:
"The emergency, however, which
required this call for the militia was
one of a grave chartcter, affecting
the safety and lives of citizens of the
United Statesmen, women and chill
dren. The presence of the militia on
the Mexican border has restored or
der and given higher regree of safe
ty and security to the lives of our
people in that troubled country than
they have had for long time. The
militia is, therefore, performing a
valuable service; and the fact that
this service is being performed with
out active military operations entail
ing loss of life to our soldiers is a
cause of congratulation and happi-
ness"
Benefit to Men and Nation.
Referring to the elaborate and ex-
tensive training the militiamen are
receiving under supervision of regu-
lar army officers, the secretary ex-
pressed the opinion that it would fit
them to act in times of war or other
emergency as supporting arm, or
second line for the regular army, fur
nishing an asset to national prepared
ness that could not have been OBJ
tanned otherwise.
In another letter he called atten-
tion to steps taken to relieve guards
men where there is unusual hardship
resulting from their being called into
the service.
II am filled with admiration for
the spirit with which the militia has
met this CALL" the secretary said,
"and with which they are performing
an important and necessary service
to their country"
