Respecting the telephone question the
committee reported. in part. as follows:
we are closer to public ownership
OF the telephone We do not adyocat e
government ownership as a matter OF
sentiment. but base it on the logical
reasons IN every particular case. We
reaize that an understanding of the
conditions and fundamentals of the
question OF the day will afford the best
means OF determining whether there
should be public ownership or not in
every case.
should the government own and op-
crate the telephone? We say yes. and
our plain, fundamental reason is thai
this utility is Of such Importance in the

.BELGIANS IA TO II
SENT into SLAVERY
Deportations to Military
Zones Have Reached
Wholesale Proportions.

WASHINGTON, June 14.-Official
reports received here today show that
the deportation of Belgians and their
subjection to forced labor in the mill
tary zones in France and Belgium has
increased to wholesale proportions.
Children as young as fourteen years
and adults as old as seventy-one years
are being compelled by the German
taslmasters to work for the kaiser.
Twenty-Five thousand Belgians recent
ly have been concentrated in he vicin-
ity of Valenciennes and Maubeuge.
Formerly the deportations took
place under the pretext of giving un-
employed Belgians work TO do. Now
the Germans attempt to Justify the
enslavement of Belgians irrespective
of age or sex. on the ground that a
order has been issued to COM
pei the inhabitants of Belgium TO per-
form any labor in the event of need
arising.

URGES
TELEGRAPHERS TO
ACCEPT DECISIONS


! WASHINGTON, June 14.--The
President flatly supports the national
war labor boards decision that big
egraphers to organize. He wrote
Newcomb Carlton and Clarence Mac
Kay, heads of the Western Union and
Postal companies. urging that they
abide by the boards decision. Mac
kay has accepted the Presidents pro-
posal and he expects to hear from
Carlton today.
The President outlined the points
decided by war labor board, adding,
'It is my judgment that it is impera-
lively necessary in national interest
that the decisions of the national war
labor board shoupld be accepted by
both parties of the labor disputes To
fail to accept it constitutes a rejection
of an instrumentality set forth by the

sincere desire to arrive at justice in

SHOWING SHOULD Be MADE AT
RATE HEARING HERE JUNE Fl

The Oregon Public Service Com
mission will hold hearing at Pendle-
ton June 27th regarding freight rates
on grain from Eastern oregon points
to Portland: There will also be a
hearing OF like character in Port
land on the 25th.
This is a question of vital import
ance to Umatilla county farmers, but
from Inquiries made, it seems little
interest is being taken in the matter.
1t looks like something that should
be taken up jointly by the Pendleton
Commercial Association, the farmers
of the county and the county agricul-
ture agent. 1t Is not understood that
e is necessary to be represented at
the hearing by an attorney. but to
have certain substantial facts to state
to them relative to freight rates from
interior points.
The people of Umatilla county
should get busy and go before the
and make a good showing
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1918-06-14

on the question OF reduction Of freight
rates. especially as to a .differential
between Pendieton and Portland and
Pendleton and Seattle.
There is no difference between
these rates at present, but there is a
feeling that there should be. The
question of differential is one that is
largely up to Portland. 1t is Port
lands fight more than Pendleton's
but the interests of Umatilla county
should be protected.
1t has been the experience of some
grain shippers if not all, in Pendle-
ton, tha; they are able to do better
with their grain in the Seattle mar
kets than lin Portland. The reason
given is that in Seattle they get
higher grading for their wheat WHY
this should be is hard to say. but the
fact remains that such is a condition.
Wheat grading is a matter regulated
by federal law and is supposed to be
the same in all the different markets.
