When dairies announced an in

the drivers have a minimum OF
$40. an average wage OF about 800.

GET TOGET.HER

THE Star and the public are not great
ly concerned over the points in con-
troversy between the milk dealers and
the striking wagon drivers.
The Star and the public ARE con-
cerned, hoWeUer, about the possible
menace in the situation to the health of
Seattle babies.
Babies need fresh milk. If the fail
ure of the employers and employees to
agree upon lVage terms is going to break
down the n,ilk-distributing system so
that these babies .DiU suffer, then it be-
comes a duty which these men QUE to
humanity to get together, and adjust
their differences, AND TO DO 1T
QUICK.
The public doesn't care how. The
public doesn't care which side makes
the necessary concessions. The public
has enough to worry about these days
without this added burden.
And in the meantime, Mrs. House
wife, if your milk is not delivered, get
it at the corner grocery. The milk deal
ers are going to make supreme effort,
they say, to give the retail dealer in your
neighborhood a sufficient supply to meet
the demand.

0. A. C. REGISTRATION !
EXCEEDS The RECORD
Is ALREADY FAR ABOVE AVER.
AGE FOR THE LAST FIVE
YEARS.


OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL
LEGE, Corvallis, oct IA Especial
to East Oregonian. - Registration at
o. A. C. is equalling If not exceeding
the record. and IS already way above
the average for the last five years. Az
the end of the SECOND day 1855 had
registered. being only two less than
the registration at the close Of the
second day last year. At the close
OF the fourth day the total was 1858
as against 1888 for same period last
year The senior class was five larg-
er.
AS interpreted by senior from
eastern oregon, the people from that
Fart of the state were hardly expect
ing so large a registration. 1t Is well
known that the Z. S. military and
skilled technical service haa taken
not only hundreds of graduates of o.
A. c., but also several hundred stu
dents who ought normally to return
to school. How this detection was
to be made up was not easily seen
and a great many people expected
heavy cut in attendance this year.
Il hated to come back because ]
thought l would be lonesome for fell
low upperclassmen," said senior
from that district. You can mag
inc how much surprised I was to
find that the senior class will be much
larger than normal this year-possi.
bzly pretty well up to that of last
year. The junior and sophomore
classes are still better filled. and as
for frosh--why. there's a veritable
flood of green caps" 1t seems that
this sentiment prevails quite general
Iy. and the crowd of students is not
only big. but enthusiastic.
The first convocation. held last
Wednesday. was perhaps a record
breaker for the initial gathering of
the year. Every seat was filled,
chairs were crowded into the aisles,
the borders of the auditorium were
bristling with late comers who failed
to find a seat at all. and the balcony
was overf1owing. At least 1900 peo-
pie. mostly students. were in the au-
ditorium. while $50 faculty people oc-
.oupied seats on the platform.
President Kerr delivered an inspir-
ing address in which he not only well
coined the new and the returning stu
dents but also showed them that they
are fulfilling the destiny mapped out
for Patriotic young men and women
by the U. S. government. He quoted
from the most recent utterances OF
President Wilson and his official rep
in theRrlllitary and civil
service of the counsry to show that
they desire above an things else that
the students complete their education
for heavy tasks that lie just ahead, in
war and in reconstruction.
Reports from most of the leading
institutions of the coun
try, east and west, show considerable
falling off in attendance. Hence the
record at o. A. C. was declared by
President Kerr to be unique. This is
expected to give the state much fa- /
vorable publicity in the eastern secc. |
lions of the country. following up as
il does the wonderful record for lean- 1
ership' in the military affairs and re (
ated matters

GENERAL OIL STRIKE
is URGED IN MEXICO

TAMPICO. Mex. Oct. 1s.-An om-
inous aspect was given the oil strike
situation, here today by arrangements
among Cuban and Spanish l. w. w.
leaders to organize a big demonstra-
tion in favor of declaring a general
strike throughout the oil fields, un-
less the Mexican Eagle Oil Co. grants
the increased wages to the striking re-
finery shop men.
Every effort is being made by ag-
itators to paralyze the production
and shipping of petroleum by organ
izing sympathetic strikes. Thus far
employees of other cocmp panies have
refused to join with the Mexican
Eagle Co. men. but they are waver-
ing in regard to Joining the demon
stration. which. unless checked by
authorities, may cause the strike TO
extend greatly.
