Inland Empire Holds Onto Grain.

Lewiston, Idaho-On account of be-
ing financially able to play waiting
game, grain growers of the Inland
Empire are refusing to sell this sea-
sons crop at the prices quoted. More
than rs per cent of the crop of 10, 0O0,-
900 bushels is still in the hands of the
ranchers.
For the first time wheat is being ex-
tensively shipped from this region by
rail direct to New York for export and
markets of the Eastern states for mill
ing purposes. Also, practically all
barley shipments have gone East. The
movement is becoming heavier daily,
and is expected to continue until the
opening Of the Panama canal, when
the grain will be diverted to Portland
and Puget Sound points, thence
through the canal to the European ma
tions.

U. S. Warships Talk by Radio
$500 Miles Across Land

Washington, D. C.-Flagships Of the
Atlantic and Pacific fleets were in
radio communication Tuesday across
about $500 miles of intervening land.
The battleship Wyoming, near Cape
Henry, reported to the Navy depart
ment that messages exchanged with
the San Diego, at Guayamas, Mexico,
were strong and easily read.
Unusual static conditions probably
made possible this conversation, the
feat of communication between the
two fleets over such an extent of land
never before having been accomplish
ed. Improved apparatus recently
installed on the big ships of the navy
also aided to the success of the test.

Denver-A mass meeting at the au-

ernor Carlson by committee headed
by William Koch, secretary of the
Brewery Workers association, asking

SECRECY OF TRADE COMMISSION
TO Be CRITICISED IN CONGRESS

Washington, D. C.-The secret pro.

which, with majority made up OF
Democratic politicians, is now 'regu.
lating" big business, is destined to re-
ceive grilling in both the senate and
house.
A demand that light be shed on the

most secret agency Of an unusually Sc
cretive administration will be made
by Republican senators and represent

executive branch of the government
are considered.
Although the commission is nearly a
year old, it has given practically no
public proof of the activity, it is as
serted, in enforcing the laws relating
to business. All complaints of unfair
competition and violation of the anti
trust acts have been considered and
disposed of in secret. No business
concern has been called on openly to
defend itself against charge of vio-

Compulsory Military Service Is
Held Best by Secretary Of War

Washington, d. C.-Secretary Gar
rison told the house military commit
tee at hearing Monday that compul-
sorry service was the only really ade-
quate basis on which to construct a
military policy compatible with the
idea of democratic government.
The secretary made the assertion
merely as an expression of personal
sentiment, he said, and did not elabo-
rate on it. His statement was regard
ed as significant, however.
Representative Shallenberger asked
Secretary Garrison If universal mill
tary obligation did not make it posi-
BILE for nations to be drawn into war
despite the wishes of the majority of
the people.
II do not think France or Germany
would be waging war if the majority
of their peoples did not favor it" re-
piled the secretary. ''No nation ever
is at war at variance with the wishes
of the great majority of its people,"

Farmers Are Holding Oats.

Portland - The oats market is be-
coming firmer with lighter offerings.
Receipts have declined materially of
late, and practically no oats are COM
ing in now from east of the mountains.
There has been buying in the interior
for shipment eastward, and this has
strengthened the ideas of farmers
throughout the country. The contin-
ued Eastern demand for choice grade
Northwestern oats is looked for and
for this reason farmers are not dis
posed to sell now. The spread in
prices, east and west, however, is not
wide enough yet to make the business
very attractive to shippers at this end,
although considerable volume of
business has been worked.
Valley oats, which are in large sup
ply, are not likely to find an Eastern
outlet, but there should be a better
market for them here, with none COM
ing in from Eastern Oregon or Eastern
Washington.

CONSUMPTION TAKES
$50 PEOPLE DAILY

Over $50 people succumb to con-
sumption every day in the United States.
Science proves that the germs only
thrive when the system Is weakened from
colds or sickness, overwork, con6ning
duties or when general weakness exists.
The best physicians point out that
duringchanging seasons the blood should
be made rich and pure and active by tax
ing Scott's Emulsion after meals. The cod
liver oil In Scott's Emulsion warns the
body by enriching the blood; 1t peculiarly
strengthens the lungs and throat, while il
upbuilds the resistive forces of the body
to avoid colds and prevent consumption.

Steamship Passes Canal

Panama-The steamer Newton, the
last vessel waiting for passage through
the Panama canal, passed through the
waterway Saturday, The Newton,
drawing 27 feet, has the greatest
draught of any vessel using the canal
since it was closed last September.
Major General Goethals said that,
while the Newton was permitted to
pass through the canal, it was not yet
in condition for continuous traffic and
that the waterway was not open. He
declined to make an estimate of the
time required to reopen the cut.

STRIKE BREAKERS
SET FIRE TO TOWN
Mi -Four, Injure 10, in Riodng
at Youngstown, Ohio.
PROPERTY Loss NEARLY ONE MILLION
State and National Troops Called to
DispeI Looting Mob -Firemen
Driven Away by Stoning.

Youngstown, O.-Four men were
killed, 10 other persons, including a
woman, shot, and 15 city blocks de-
stroyed by fire as a result of riots
growing out Of the steel mill strike
here Saturday night.
The fire had caused loss estimated
at from $500, 900 to 1000, 900 at last
reports.
Rioters, who for hours had held the
city in a reign Of terror, looting stores
and the postoffice and setting fire to
many buildings, began to quit the
streets after rumors Of the arrival of
troops spread. Citizens, however,
feared new outbreak at daybreak.
The trouble was the elimination of
strike of laborers which began at the
plant of the Republic Iron & Steel
company a week ago and spread to the
plants of the tube company, the
Youngstown Iron & Steel company,
and the Brier Hill Steel company, all
independent" concerns. The men de-
mand 25 cents an hour; the companies
offer an increase from l9a to 22 cents
an hour.
The bridge from East Youngstown
to Struthers was burned to prevent
rioters from entering the town. Two
companies Of United States regulars
from Columbus were ordered to East
Youngstown because Of the looting and
burning of the postoffice.
The trouble started early in the
morning when strike sympathizers and
workers at the sheet and tube plant
clashed. Stones were thrown and sew
eral shots were fired, but no one was
injured. Later in the afternoon
riot occurred just outside the tube
company's plant and two men were in
jured 80 badly they were taken to
hospital.
The most serious trouble started
when the day shift at the sheet and
tube mills left work. A crowd Of 5000
gathered at the entrance to the works
and stoned squad Of private police in
charge Of Chief Woltz, of the sheet
and tube company force.
The police force Of the city was
lined up on bridge at the river lead
ing to the main works of the plant.
Someone in the crowd threw rock,
which struck one of the mill guards.
Immediately several of the guards
drew their revolvers and fired to scare
the crowd.
Then the real trouble started. Re-
volvers were produced by men in the
crowd and answering shots were sent
back. The guards answered by firing
into the crowd. Men and women,
wounded, fell amid the rain of bullets. |
Finally the crowd fell back and vented
It's fury by applying the torch to build
ngs in the neighborhood.
Firemen summoned from Youngs-
own arrived on the scene, but before
hey could get the hose connected up
with the city hydrants the crowd drove
he fire-fghters away. Many shots
we're fired, and the firement drove off
With their apparatus amid a hail of
'tones.
By this time the flames threatened
20 sweep through the entire business
section. The infuriated crowd surged
through the streets, and threats were
made to burn the entire town.
All available guards were marshaled
'y the Sheet & Tube company, and by
'ther mills in the suburbs in an effort
% prevent destruction OF their prop
,rty.
