the part Of the Western Union TILE
graph company, to accept President Will

ed to organize, the White House to-
day declared the president was not y It
ready to announce his next step.
Ii was admitted by officials that
technically Carlton is within his rights
in demanding that an umpire be npnin-
ated by the board to review the med
iatlon efforts of the war labor board.
Members of the board today Were seat
tered all over the country and it was
believed likely the president would get
in touch Immediately with officials to
determine what his course shall be.
Tho suggestion was made that perhaps
the president would act as umpire.

Former Railroad
Competition Wiped Out
by Physical Connection

The Public service commission has
received word from R. H. Ashton, re-
gional director of railroads, that phys
ical connection betwetn the Oregon
Electric and Southern Pacific has been
ordered at Albany, and at or near the
Jefferson street station in Portland.
1t is also ordered that connection be
made between these roads at Eugene
if it can be done without too much ex-
pense. The making of physical eonnec-
tion here in Salem, the director says,
has not been called to his attention,
before but he would examine into it
at once. 1t is quite likely this will be
made. 1t was also ordered that con-
necticn be made between the roads at
Pendleton by opening the Byers mill
track or some more suitable method.
More than two years ago the Public

Federal Agents Probe
Many Recent Fires

Portland. Or, June 18.-Federal
agents and the police were investigat-
ing today another in the long list of
fires which have destroyed lumber mills
engaged in war work in the northwest.
The Rice-Kinder Lumber company $
plant here was completely destroyed
last night with loss of $65, 900. 1t had
been busily engaged in preparing ship
timhers, and many such timDers were
destroyed.
Investigators and the owners agree
taat the fire was incendiary.
ihe blaze burned with great fierce
Lcss. When it was first discovered it
had gained such headway that fire
fighters were helpless save to prevent
1t spreading.
There were indications today that in
designations will concentrate on this fire
in an attempt to make an example of
the eulprits responsible, who are be
lieNed to be pro- Hun.

now being met by the sale of these
commendable little stamps and GER
tiicates. By the latter part of the
present year it Is believed this will
be increased to 209o, or one-hfth of
the vast sum of $l,0O0,0OO,000 a
month that the war is costing US.
This will compare with the 209o of
Great Britain's war expense that are
betrayed through the sale of similar
stamps in England. Both in the
United States and England the sale
of war savings stamps was slow at
first due no doubt to the fact that
the people were not familiar with
them. In fact the people of these
two great nations were rather un-
familiar with any form OF applied
thrift.
The stamps now have been on sale
in this country about 20 weeks and
the percentage of war expenses being
borne by them has been steadily in
creasing and no doubt will continue
50 to do.

LITTLE TALKS ON THRIFT
By S. w. STRAUS
PrsJidsnf Amerioan Society for Thrill

These are among the most signifi-
cant facts brought out since the be-
ginning of the war, viewed from
the standpoint of the accomplishment
Of permanent economical values.
While these little stamps are sold
to all classes of people, many of
them go to persons who in the past
have been accustomed to save little
or no money. A great percentage
of the thrift stamps also are sold
to children and young people while
a considerable additional percentage
is sold by them to their parents and
friends.
1t thus will be seen that the ever
increasing sale Of thrift stamps and
war savings certificates is a bar
ometer which marks the steady risa
of the thrift habit among Americans.
In this connection one must re-
member that thrift does not consist
entirely in saving money. Wise
economy has solidifying effect on
the character. The exercise of will
power needed in the practice of
saving has tremendous moral and
mental value. The millions of
Americans who are learning tho
habits of thrift through these stamps
will keep on being thrifty all their
lives, and in this way the war viii
prove of incalculable benefit to them.
Thrift Is like lusty plant which.
once started. will continue to grow
with ever increasing yigor. Even
though the beginning Is seemingly in-
consequential, the growth eventually.
will assume most gratifying and lr,s
portant proportions, (

POTATO ASSOCIATION
PROTESTS Increase
IN FREIGHT RATES
Present Tariff Is Declared
Too High for So Low
Priced Commodity

Portland, Or, June 1s.-0regon pota.
to dealers are protesting against an in.
crease of 25 per cent in freight rates
on shipments of potatoes. A committee
representing the Oregon Potato Dealers
association appeared before the Port.
land district traffic committee in the
office of f. W. Robinson, traffic man.
ager of the o. w. R. & n. company,
Thursday morning and asked relief.
W. l. Swank, president of the asso,
citation, presented the case. The prin-
eipal market of the Northwestern deal
ers is Texas and other parts of the
south, he said. The present rate to tins
market from Oregon is rs cents per
hundred pounds. An increase of % per
cent, including the war tax, would bring
the rate to approximately 81.
Rate Would Be Excessive
Dealers declare that this rate would
be excessive on low priced commodity
tht freight charge being about equal to
the price of the product. They also
pointed ont the advantage t. Idaho
dealers, the rate from Idaho points be-
ing at present to cents lower to the
southern market. A % per cent increase
would increase this differential and
give idaho an unfair advantage, he as
serted. The dealers suggested that a
maximum increase of ~ cents apply to
their shipments, The traffic committee,
il is said, agreed to recommend an
amendment to the ruling, giving a more
favorable rate.
Saturday morning the following tele.
gram was sent to Senator Charles H.
McNary by officials of the Oregon Po.
tota Dealers association:
Protest Is Filed.
"Oregon potato and onion dealers
and growers protest against the propos.
ed advance Of 25 per cent in freight
rates East and Southeast. Rates already
in effect are too high on these low prize
ed food products. For comparison take
the rate on wheat from Portland to Chi
eago, which is so cents per 100 pounds,
with q price of $3.50 per 100 pounds
paid to the western grower. The rate
ON potatoes and onions is rs cents per
100 pounds and the price paid growers
here for these products is Is cents to
VI per 100 pounds. The food admins
tration urges the growing of potatoes
as substitute for wheat and it looks
like rank injnstice to growers to ad'
vance the freight rate on this chief food
product needed to cut down grain con.
sumption. Please take up this matter
with the food administration and Diree
tor General McAdoo, urging that the
present western freight rates on pota-
toes aud onions remain as now fixed, or,
if obliged to make advances, that the
same be not over 10 per cent. -
