During the conference telegram

Wilson urging the men to return to
their Jobs pending arbitration OF
their demands for an elght-hour day.
He reminded them OF the urgent
need OF the mills product. The
strike caused a shutdown at six OF
the mills today. The others made

NATIONAL PARKS

There will no doubt be great
deal of travel to the national parks
this summer, and it will not be alto
gether on account of the war either.
The many improvements of recent
years have made the parks accessible
and opened their delights to tourists.
Many Americans now own automo-
biles and no summer trip offers
greater pleasure than one to some
national park.
To Oregonians the most accessible
parks are the Rainier and Crater
Lake, both of which can be reached
from Portland by easy automobile
runs. Secretary Lane announces that
Crater Lake park will open to the
public on the first of July and Raj
nier on the first of June. Neither
will be closed to travel before the
middle OF September. Crater Lake
will remain open till the end of that
month.
1t is some compensation for the
deprivation OF foreign travel that
we are thus turned in the direction
OF the great and beautiful national
parks. They are as we'll worth visit.

they lack that human interest
which attaches to historic sites. I'm
