tors in affidavits presented as evil

morning before handing down de-
cision.
The American Electric company
and eleven other contractors brought
the suit against the officers and men,
bers of the union month ago. At
that time Judge Leslie issued tenn
porary order restraining the union
from molesting men on jobs.
According to Judge Leslie's decis-
ion, union men have no right to go
upon the premises of any sob" where
men are employed and attempt to
talk to them or influence them in any
way.
"The evidence in this case is, in
some respects, quite meager," said
Judge Leslie, "and if the purpose of
this proceeding were to determine
rights Of property between the par
ties, or if If were sought to tempo
rarily enjoih the defendants from per-
forming some act that they had a
legal right to perform, the evidence
might not be considered sufficient"

GOVERNMENT TAKES
UP MORGAN'S WORK
Federal Commission Will Su-
pervise Purchasing Formerly
Done by Morgan Bank
for the Allies.

Washington May 22-The long
standing business agreement between
J, p. Morgan & Co. and the govern
ments of Great Britain and France,
under which the Morgan firm handled
the bulk Of the hundreds of millions
OF dollars of purchases made for the
allies in this country, soon is to be
replaced-in part, il not wholly, by the
new international agreement, now in
process of formulation, under which
all purchases for the allies will be
made through commission under
governmental supervision.
The machinery through which the
Morgan firm transacted its huge vol
ume of American purchases, will
stand, in part, however, and probably
will be utilized by the American gov
eminent. Valuable information OBJ
tanned by the Morgan firm as purchas-
ing agents for Great Britain and
France already has been placed at
the disposal of the government and
will be used by the new commission.
j. Mol gan spent ScNcldi HOuia to-
day discussing the situation with For
eign Minister Balfour of the British
delegation and afterwards with AS
sistant Secretary of the Treasury
Crosby.
Made Heavy Purchases.
As the result of these discussions
it developed that the Morgan firm
has not only purchased supplies run
ming to many hundreds of millions for
Great Britain and France, but has
also purchased many millions worth
for the governments of Italy and
Russia.
The amount of these purchases, the
commissions and other details of the
agreement have never been disclosed.
Whatever commissions have been paid
by the allies in the past will be saved
to them in the future as the govern
ment's plan is to charge no commits
sion for the services of the purchas-
ing agency, but to place the commits
sion at the allies disposal without
further cost than its operating ex-
penses.

Sherman county is said to have one

cars out of four are of the Ford variety,
which illustrates that the higher priced
cars prevail in Oregon S banner auto
mobile county. In case it was absolutely
necessary that ali residents should be

Three other counties which are in the

next to Sherman in the proportionment
number of cars. Umatilla, Morrow and
Gillian counties each boast of one auto
mobile to every nine residents.
Multnomah county has one car for
each group of % persons, which is con-
siderably below the population average

SWISS WRITER GIVES
AMERICANS PRAISE
American Troops Already
More at Home in War Than
European Veterans

The Zurich, Switzerland, correspond
ent of the Christian Science Monitor
says:
Writing in the Basler Nachrichten, a
neutral observer gives his impressions
of the first American troops in Europe,
who landed in France. ''I thought l was
dreaming as we came to the camp" he
writes. "I cannot tell why, but immed-
lately all the thrilling Indian stories
from my boyhood time came into my
mind and expected to find myself in
the middle of the Far West. There was
not single Indian there, but what
boys. just exactly as we formerly pic
tured the bold trappers, the adventur-
seeking and fearless young Europeans
who were drawn to America to get more
elbow room than they had in Old Eu-
rope. The men bear wholly distinct
i've stamp, some very tall, others of
medium height, but all strong and pow
erful, some with clearcut features,
others very youthful, sometimes with
girlish looks, but all sunburnt and all
of them perfectly at home in camp as
though long accustomed to it. From
many little things, one saw that there
was men here who only occasionally
slept in a bed and did not sit at
table at every meal. The majority have
been soldiers for some time, others came
from the country, and all of them are
used to fighting against nature. When
one sees European troops in camp one
thinks that these men have been taken
away from their everyday life and made
to play a part that is not their own.
With the American soldiers, one has
just the contrary impression; every one
seems to be ir his element.
" AT every point guards are stationed
to keep out intruders and also to keep
on eye on the numerous German and
Austrian prisoners who are digging
drains and performing other work in
the camp. The barracks are spacious
and substantial. The camp beds Of tres
tie aud sail cloth, have been brought
by the Americans, rs well as everything
else necessary for living and fighting.
The most precise order prevails in the
barracks, giving a good idea of the dis
eipline of the troops. The camp avenues
are well kept and here and there one
sees field kitchens at work. just the
same food is cooked for the officers
and men. dwell Intentionally on this
point, as it seems to me that nowhere
else does tho officer live under the
same conditions as the men. He eats and
sleeps like the men, he cannot stay Ion
ger in the eanteen than they. His uni
form is exactly like the men s; the
badges of rank are scarcely visible.
But with all these things military res
peet does not seem to have suffered in
the least, the soldiers salute and stand
