MONEY ROLLING into
Y.M.S.A. WAR FUND
Over $1,5OO Additional Was
Reported at Noon
Lunches Today

Another swipe was taken at the Y.
M. G. A. army and navy fund when
the campaigners gathered at noon to-
day and made their several reports.
The incoming rush of cash and pledges
totalled $1532.60 for the days labors,
with nomer Smith s group, the high
men, having garnered in $3S6.50. Pat
ton and Cross were next in line with
1892 and 1904 respectively.
Other scores for the day follow:
W atson, $3.50; Evans, $77; Webb
$3.50; Albert, $3.50; Baumgartner,
$7635; executive committee, $50. The
grand total of the fund is now $7174.-
so.
1t should be explained as matter
of fairness that the three teams who
are far in the lead, namely, the Smiths
with a total of $l400, the Crosses with
a total of $1150, and the Pattons who
have $1l00, have the cream of the ter
ritory, with the down town districts.
The other teams though they show far
less toal money and pledges are work
ing just as hard, if not harder for their
results. Many calls in the residential
districts are met with "See my hus-
band, and that prospect goes to one
of the three teams mentioned. The dis
tricts were drawn by lot, and these
three teams are merely, in the parlance
of the day, Z" the lucky stiffsn
One other feature that needs careful
is this: it will be noted
on the receipts issued by the workers
that the reading is ''for national and
local Y, M. c. A. war campaign" The
truth of the matter is that every cent
collected in Salem goes into the war
field work, and not one single cent is
to be used locally, for the local plant.
Ine campaign for the local work was
put on and carried through two or
three weeks ago, and none Of the mon
ey gathered this week will go into
any Y M. G. A. work save that for the
needs of the army and navy boys.

FEAR OF MEXICAN
ATTACK ON Preside
Rebels Rule Across Border
But Americans Are In
Strong Force

Preside, Tex, Nov. 15.-Fear of an
attack by Victorious Villista forces in
possession of the Mexican town of

allayed today with the arrival here
from Maria of reinforcements of reg

dit forces in undisputed control of the
border from this point to Guadalupe, a
distance of 200 miles. Villa soldiers to-
day yelled across the river that they
intended to attack Juarez and then
Chihuahua City.
The evacuation of Ojinaga by the
government forces was precipiated by
a message sent to the commander, Gen.
eral Cordova, by Martinez Lopez, ban
dit leader, that every prisoner taken,
including officers, would be executed,
it was learned today. Several prison
ers taken in the attack last night were
executed by the bandits today. About
two hundred of Cordova's men were
estimated to have been killed or cap
tured, while the bandits losses were
slight.

The word income he construed as

CITIZENS Want BAND
CONCERTS IN PARK
Business Mems League Op-
poses Cutting Out Of Reg
ular Appropriations

1t seems that the proposal of the
finance committee of the city Of Salem
to cut out band concerts next summer
does not exactly meet with the approval
of many citizens.
At a meeting last evening of the
Business Men s League of the CONNER
cial club a petition was presented re-
citing the fact that the city proposed
to cut out of its 1918 budget the usual
sum for the summer band concerts; that
music was refining influence ON the
community; that the best interests of
the community called for free band
concerts; that Salem needs a good band
to assist in arousing progressiveness in
the community and that the Cherrian
band was an asset to the city in the
way of an advertisement.
With all these things in favor of free
concerts, the Business Men Is League
passed a motion favoring such concerts
and asking the finance committee to
change its mind about getting econom-
zeal along the line Of public amusements.
The petition will be signed by the busi-
ness men and the subject of free con-
certs next summer will be threshed out
at the public meeting called for Mo-
vember 80, to consider the proposed bud
get.
The one day store delivery PROPOSE
tion has proved failure according to
Theodore Roth who was chairman Of
committee appointed several months
ago to consider same. Mr.. Roth thought
on account of competition, one day de-
liveries would not come to pass unless
the war department so ordered.
Should the stores in Salem close at 5
O'Clock Saturday evening and at $3.50
clock other work day evenings of
the weekq This was suggested but as
there was very little disposition among
the business men to discuss the in
quiry, L. Il. Pearce, temporary chair
man, was authorized to appoint com
mittee of three to get the general feel
ing of the business houses and to report
at the next meeting in December. In
the meantime the old closing hours hold
good. 1t was suggested that such plan
might save considerably on lights. Also
please the clerks.
That the Business Mems League
knows exactly what it wants in its or
ganization was shown by the fact that
in the files now in charge of the sec
retary, Miss Gretta Richmond, ratings
are given on 11,077 people. The new fill

Five Are Examined
for Hubbard Postmaster

Postmasters are gradually coming un-
der the Civil service rule, which means
that when man once gets the job, it
is good for a life time or during good
behavior.
Hence the ambition of five men liv-
ing at Hubbard to become its next post
master, as the job pays $1,000 year
with $120 for clerk hire and an allow
anee of $160 for rent, fuel and lights.
Civil service examinations were held
yesterday by Paul W. Miller, secretary
of the local Civil Service for the po-
sition of postmaster at Hubbard, which
is now being temporarily filled by NJ. B.
Kromling. Among the five candidates
taking the examination were Peter
whitney, Charles Crittenden and N. B.

STRIKE
WILL BE SETTLED
Agreement Has Practically
Been Reached at San Fran
cisco Conference

San Francisco, Nov. 15.-Northwest-
ern members Of the Electrical Work
ers' union, who are on strike against
the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph
company, were asked by Secretary Of
Labor Wilson today to send represen-
tatives here to participate in the cor
ferences of. the federal mediation
board for settlement of the telephone
controversy.
Despite the previous insistence of the
Northwestern men that they must be
dealt with at Seattle and not in San
Francisco, the mediation board mem
bers believe they will comply with
Secretary Wilson'S request.
Practically all of today was devoted
by the board to the work of complet-
ing the terms of settlement of the tele-
phone trouble. A tentative proposition
has been submitted to both sides. 1t
is understood that the only stumbling
block to acceptance of this proposition
is the question of recognizing the tele-
phone operators union.
Governor Lister of Washington, who
is here, today telegraphed Harvey L.
Hughes, Washington industrial insur
ance commissioner at Olympia, to get
in touch Immediately with the electrical
unions of Washington and request that
they send delegates to San Francisco
to participate in the conference. Lis
ter declared he believed satisfactory
settlement could be reached here which
would make it unnecessary fer Wilson
and the mediation board to hold an
other meeting in the northwest.
Hughes replied that he is today urg-
ing the heads of the electrical work.
ers to send representatives.
1t is understood that both the COM
pany and the electrical workers union
officials will accept the tentative
agreement proposed, which will settle
the controversy, at least so far as Cali
fornia exchanges are concerned. Wheth-
or the terms will be acceptable to the
northwestern electrical workers is prob
lematical.
1t is learned that the settlement pro,
posed a wage Increase to electrical
workers of approximately 12 liz per
cent and that practically the same per
centage of increase to telephone oper-
ators is provided. The company will
not recognize the operators union, but
will agree not to discriminate against
organized workers.
While members of the mediation
board would not discuss the matter, it
was reported that should the north
western strikers decline to send repre-
sentatives here, the terms submitted to
both sides here win be made applicable
to California only and the board will go
north to negotiate with telephone en-
ployes there. Secretary of Labor Will
son is said to be anxious to settle the
controversy for the whole coast here
and avoid the necessity of going north.
