VOTE OF TRAINMEN
INCREASES DANGER
OF GENERAL STRIKE
MANY LOCAL RAILROAD MEN
WOULD BE AFFECTED By
ORDER OF WALKOUT.
O'Brien Processes Belief Of settlement
Union Heads Dubious and Ex-
pect Order August s.

There is no little anxiety in local
railroad circles over the situation
which may result in the tie-up Of all
railways in the country operated by
union trainmen. The announcement
from New York last night to the ef-
feet that the vote was almost unani-
mously in favor of calling a strike on
225 railroads tends only to increase
the anxiety.
Should the strike occur II would In
yolve many OF the employees Of the
O-W. R. & N. who work in, near
and out of this city 1t is estimated
that 100000 railroad men in the
United States would be thrown out
of work until the differences are ad-
iusted.
The national committee represent
ing the railways OF the country will
meet in New York on August 8. at
which time ii is hoped that the rep
resentatives of the men will be m
duced to resume negotiations that will
result in an amicable settlement.
In a statement issued in Portland
yesterday General Manager J. p.
O'Brien expressed the belief that
there would be no strike although It
was admitted that this belief was not
founded on any definite information
obtained from the east. He states
that the heads of the railroads hav-
ing their terminals in Portland we're
taking no part in the settlement and
are making no preparations to secure
strikebreakers.
o the other hand, representatives
of the big unions we're anything but
optimistic over the situation and be-
lieved that the walkout will be called.
They look for strike order to be
effective August s. such an order
would result in the tie-up of all roads
operated by union trainmen with the
| exception of mail trains. trains car
rying soldiers because Of strained re-
lations with Mexico and trains carry
ing supplies TO those troops. It is re-
ported that a tacit agreement has
been reached for the movement of
this class of traffic.

The execution Of Sir ROGER Case
ment, who was found guilty of high
treason, and whose trial created one
of the biggest stirs in British history
brings to an end a remarkable career
An Irishman, once prominent in

Michael and st. George, and leader
Of the Irish Nationalist Party he
fled TO Berlin shortly after the decla.

England in 1914 and Immediately be.
came active in a propaganda which
had for its purpose, the overthrow Of
English rule in Ireland.
Roger David Easement was born il
Ireland in September, 1864, of a gooC
family and passed his early youth ii
obscurity.
He early showed an aptitude fol
the diplomatic service and entered the
British Consular Service in 1906
serving faithfully in different consu
lates until 1919 when he became the
leader of the Separatist party in Ire
land.
He was in the United States in tht
summer Of 1914, shorty before the
outbreak of the war. He made
speeches in maay cities m favor o.
Irish Home Rule and assumed tht
role of leader in the Nationalist Vol
unteer movement.
After the beginning of the war h,
returned to Ireland and became ac
tive in the recruiting of the Irish Vol
unteers and was open in his opposition
to the war. A few months later III
fled to Germany and began his worl
there. a price of $4,000 was set OF
his head by the British government.
In April Of this year, while at

by the way of the trans-Siberian rail-
way, Vladivostok, and the Pacific
ocean. OF the seed imported into the
United States since July l, 1915, more
than half has been from Russian
Turkestan, and no doubt more of this
seed will be brought in as transporta-
ton can be arranged.
The short domestic supply of last
year, together with the decreased i'm
ports, have resulted in a marked in
crease in the price of seed over that
of a year ago. The lack of alfalfa
seed in this country this year must be
made up by importation, and this will
necessarily be largely Turkestan seed
1t is known that Turkestan seed is
not well adapted for general use in
the United states and that it is particu-
larly undesirable for use in the east
eTn humid sections. On the basis Of
its relative producing capacity,
the price of Turkestan seed should
be lower than that of domestic seed,
and purchasers should know when
they are buying Turkestan seed. Con-
ditions may often be such that only
Turkestan seed can be obtained at the
time and place where seed is wanted
but in every instance the purchaser
should know whether he is getting
Turkestan seed or not.
Turkestan seed can be distinguish
ed from other alfalfa seed BY the
presence of certain characteristics
weed seeds These seeds are usually
not numerous. but no importation Of
commercial Turkestan seed has been
examined by the Seed Laboratory of
the department in which they were
not present On account of these
characteristics weed seeds not being
plentiful, ii is always necessary, in de-
terminihg the origin Of the seed. to
examine a bulk of seed and not de-
pend on the examination of a small
trade sample. Anyone wishing te
have alfalfa seed examined. to deter
mine its possible Turkestan origin,
should send not less than one-half
pound of seed to the Seed Laboratory
