THAT NEW YORK STRIKE

The big thing about that New York
street railway strike isn't the strike
itself, but the bigger situation it. has,
developed-the disposition of other
unions to go on a sympathetic strike
in order to prevent ShOnts from
crushingthe street railwayunion. The
that indicates that trades unionists
are learning that the welfare of each
is the concern of all. In the past
unions have lost strikes because
other unions didn't see the crushing
of one union weakened all the rest
of them. When Shonts provoked the
war with the street railway union he
evidently thought he would have to
deal only with that union, and that
Wadde1 could supply enough thugs

destroy the union. Now hezhas an
other think coming. Wall street may
need the lesson, too. 1t may need a
clear vision of what New York city
will amount to if the union workers
all quit work at the same time.
When organized capital recognizes
the right of labor to organize, and
does business with organized labor,
there will be some chance for indus

'SMATTER, JAKE?-Jakey Lbeb's
latest bid for fame is a savage attack
on the boys and, girls of the Hyde
Park high school. Jake started in by
fighting women teachers. Then he
turned on the high school kids. When
will he tackle the kindergartners?
Why doesn't Jake tackle some one Of
his size? Or is that just what he is
doing?
If Jake Loeb knew as much about
humanity as the president Of the
Chicago school board ought to know
he would know that there is mighty
little difference between the human
nature of boys and girls in Hyde
Park and boys and girls in any other
part of the ity. There may be diff
ferenCes in clothing, the homes they
live in and the grub they eat, but no
real differences in human fundamen- ,
tails. All children are pleasWe-lov-
ing. All children love to wear the
best clothes they can get. And the =
percentage of those who have a dis
position to steal is probably about
the same in one school as in another.
If there is snobbishness in the chill
dren, they probably learned it at
home. And the homes that are free
from snobbishness are exceedingly
rare. Most Of us are snobs. Most
of us ape the class above and snub
the class below. Some of the worst .
snobs are those who were born poor
and then got rich. If Jake Loeb will
search his own soul he'll probably
find he's some snob himself.

Wise is the instructor who learns
more than he teaches.

SHOEMAKER SAVES
STEELHEAO FISHING

Carl d. Shoemaker. state game
warden, announced here this after
noon that he had Just completed taxi
ing testimony in hearing at Gold
Beach which had for its object the
esta blishment OF dead line at the
mouth OF the Rogue River. The
hearing lasted two days and at the
conclusion Mr., Shoemaker established
the line.
IL found that there was consider
able difference OF opinion among the
fishermen themselves as to where the
line should be established. but in
reaching my conclusion that the line
should be established at Doyle Rock
| took into consideration the preser-
vation OF the sport OF angling for
steelheads on the upper Rogue as
well as the continuation OF the COM
merclal fishing industry at the
mouth" said Mr.. Shoemaker.
Mr.. Shoemaker explained that
Doyle Rock Is about 1900 feet up
stream from the mouth Of the river
and at that point the stream has a
width of nearly mile, At the mouth
where fishing Is carried on the river
at low water Is less than 200 feet
wide. BY placing the dead line at
Doyle Rock two set net locations have
been cut out and the best seining
ground OF the McCleay company has
been taken away The line becomes
effective in thirty days.
''T consider this the most important
piece OF work have accomplished
since ! have been state game warden,
II will be q great benefit to Josephine
and Jackson county sportsmen," con
cluded Mr.. Shoemaker,

THREE FATALLY HURT
IN AUTO ACCIDENT

Portland. Aug. 21.-One woman
was dead today and two other per-
sons near death as the result of an
automobile wreck on the Columbia
highway. Miss Olive Erickson of
Portland was killed when the auto
mobile of j. H, Shields backed over
the edge of a 30-foot bridge near
Troutdale and hurtled through the
darkness into deep gully. Shields
was probably fatally hurt, Miss Ag-
mes Erickson suffered an injured
spine. The wrecked machine burst
into flames, while all three were
pinned under it. An unknown auto
mobilist ran into the ravine with a
fire extinguisher and stopped the
blaze.
Chester Shields, son of the injured
man, had stepped from the car to
walk while his father steered it of
the bridge, He witnessed the tragedy,
