NEW SPIRIT" IN
INDUSTRY ASKED
BY ROCKEFELLER
Pleads for Universal Recogni-
ton Of Right of Repre-
sentadon by Workers.

Washington, Oct. l6.-Recogni-
ton of the right of collective bar
gaining came to the floor Of the ma
tional industrial conference Thurs
day and was debated for three
hours, but vote was impossible, as
the conference had to adjourn at
$50 o'clock under its rules. Virtual
notice was given by members of the
labor group that should the repre-
sentatives of capital succeed in their
attempt to send the resolution back
to the committee OF IS the labor
delegation would withdraw.
The collective bargaining resolu-
ton providing for an endorsement
of the right of wage-earners to ne
gotiate with employers through
Representatives of their own
choosing was reported to the con-
ference, when it met at 2::30 o'clock,
with the approval of all of the pub
lie and labor delegates in the COM
mittee, but opposed by the repre-
sentatives of capital.
Faces Dissolution.
Realizing that the conference
faced the likelihood of dissolution
unless an agreement could be
reached on the issue of collective
bargaining, members of the public
group directed eloquent appeals to
the employers in an effort to win
them over to the resolution. Lead
ing in this effort was John D.
Rockefeller, jr., representative Of
one of the nations greatest indus
trial organizations, who pleaded for
a new spirit" in industry with uni
versal recognition of the fright Of

Further indication Of
Steady Improvement
In Wilson's Condition

Washington, Oct. 16.-Further in
dication of the steady Improvement
in the condition of President Will
son, who has entered the fourth
week of his illness, was gwen in the
statement by White House officials
that the vote on the Shantung
amendment to the peace treaty was
impaired to him within a few min
utes after the senate roll call.
The president earlier In the day,
it was learned, was advised that an
important vote in the senate peace
treaty controversy was near. AS
the news did not seem to worry him,
Rear Admiral Grayson, his personal
physician, gave permission for the
sending of the vote to the sick room
when recorded. Secretary Tumulty
received the news of the vote at the
White House Immediately after an
nouncment by. the senate tellers and
sent it the presidents room. where
it was given to him by his nurse,
Mrs. Wilson having left his bedside
for 4 few minutes.
Affairs demanding President Will
sons attention are still being
showed into other channels, as was
the prohibition enforcement act,
which was sent to the attor-
ney general for consideration before
executive action is taken.
In bulletin issued at the White
House at 1915 o'clock Thursday
night DR.. Grayson said:

Secretary Foster, with prospects Of
gains in small communities to which
we have been unable to give more
attention heretofore. Only the sue

ceedings under way to secure free
speech is necessary to close up the
places in the immediate vicinity Of
Pittsburgh, which are now crippled

The national committee received
a long report giving conditions in
the Chicago district. The situation
there, from strikers viewpoint, were
reported as very favorable.
Corporations Quiet.
Corporations had little to give out
regarding conditions in their mills.
The Carnegie company announced
that 800 to 500 men are daily seek
ing work in its Monongahela Valley
plants and "that about half of them
are old employees"
Strike headquarters gave out
what was said to be report of ac-
tual conditions as found by union
man in the Homestead works of the
Carnegie company on October IA.

tinue their preparations to make a
legal attack against local and coun-
ty authorities in Allegheny county
on the question of free speech and
free assembiage which the strikers
allege have been denied them. Pa
pers in the contemplated court pro-

is expected injunctions will be ap-
piled for against officials in Pitts
burgh and Allegheny county and in
some of the cities of the county to
restrain them from interfering with
the meetings of local unions and
labor mass meetings. Applications
for injunctions, it was said, might
be applied for both in the county

Mayor E. V. Babcock has issued
4 statement in reply to warning
sent him by counsel for the strikers
that Legal action would be taken if
there was any further unlawful in
reference with union meetings.

Fitzpatrick, Chicago, chairman. and

urer Of the national committee for

Peace and order in the city must

Foster is continually in the city and
had the reputation of starting
trouble in other places causes me
to plan to be ultra safe and con-
sentative in the interest of the city
Of Pittsburgh and all the people in
side Of its confines. There is no
objection whatever to public meet

Give "Fair Play"
The unusual opportunities given
Captain Smith and Lieutenant May
nard were accorded by virtue of
their leadership of the two rival
groups of flyers and amounted only
to the carrying out of the principle
of fair play" Major General Memo
her, director of the air service, said.
Other contestants continued to
wing their way across the continent.
Three landed yesterday at San
Francisco, making total of IS to
complete the westward flight.
Seventeen others are still struggling
toward the Golden Gate, most of
them being in the Rocky mountain
region. There were no new arrivals
at Mineola. Six have completed
the eastward flight.
Behind Maynard, Pearson and
Donaldson, in the eastward flight
was Lieut.. Earl Manzelman, who,
with Maj. Harry Smith, took off
from San Francisco yesterday.
Major Smiths machine was wrecked
at Ferniey, New, and he retired
from the race.
The flyers making the return trip
from Mineola to the west made no

DANGERS OF A COLD
Ashland People VIII Do Well tc
Heed Them.

Many bad cases of kidney trouble
result from a cold or chill. Congested
kidneys fall behind in filtering the
poison-laden blood, and backache,
headache, dizziness and dlsordered
kidney action follow. Don't neglect
a cold. Use Doan's Kidney Pills at
the first sign of kidney trouble.
Here is an experience told by resi-
dent of this locality.
Geo. L. Manning, retired grocer,
Talent, Oregon, says: "a cold that
settled on my kidneys brought on
hackache. Many times couldn't
lie on my back at night, the pains
were so severe thru my kidneys and
across my loins. My kidneys acted
too frequently and the kidney Sc
cretions were highly colored. One
box OF Doan's Kidney Pills gave me
relief"

simply ask for a kidney remedy
get Doan's Kidney Pills-the same
that Mr.. Manning had. Foster-Mil-

Secretary Favors
Trails, Telephones

TIE Importance OF trails, telephone
lines, and roads on the National For
ests to facilitate the early discovery
OF fires and quick action to extin-
guish them, is emphasized in the re-
port Of the Secretary to Agriculture
for 1918, which has just been re-
ceived by District Forester George
II. Cecil, of Portland.
The funds available for construc-
tlon work have been too little to per-
NIT Of rapid progress in the develop
ment Of the system of communica-
ton on the National Forests, accord
ing to the Secretary, who also says
there should be provision for pushing
more rapidly the improvement work
on these forests. He further sug-
gests that provision be made for a
greater number of Forest guards and
for the organization or the protec-
tive system each fire season at an
earlier date than this has formerly
been done. For these purposes the
estimate submitted to Congress in
cludes increases for specific Forests
totalling s23O,SOS.0O.
In 1918 the failure of the annual
appropriation act to pass Congress
until after the fire season was part
| ly over caused some embarrassment
In meeting the situation. Ordinarily
expenditures during the summe
months are greater than those fol
the remainder of the fiscal year
therefore the sums available under
the continuing appropriations of one

sixth of the annual appropriation FOR
the preceding year to cover the
months of July and August were in
sufficient to meet the situation. The
President, however, furnished re-
lief by placing at the disposal Of the
Secretary one million rollars as q
loan from the emergency fund.
The greater part OF the entire out
lay for fire-flghting was on the rela-
lively small number of Forests in
the Northwest which presented con-
dltions of great difficulty. An un-
usually severe dry season caused the
outbreak of fires before the summer
protective organization was ready
for them. The situation was met
with difficulty by the Forest Service,
whose personnel was somewhat de-
pleted in numbers and much weak
ened by the loss of many OF Its most
experienced men, who were absent
in military service. War conditions
also made 1t difficult to secure good
men for temporary appointment as
guards during the fire season and
bodies of men for fighting large
fires.
For many Of the serious fires OF
the Northwest there was no resident
population at hand to draw upon for
fire purposes, which made 1t neces-
sary to organize forces In towns and
cities scores II not hundreds oil
miles away; transport them by rail-
road to points nearest the fire and
send them long distances into the
woods, and there provide them with
equipment and food by packtrain
Thus fires which in other regions
would be quickly put out gained
headway and in some cases burned
several days before the effort OF
bringing them under control could
be made.

Oregon Hens Won

of ten Oregons laid 1852 eggs at the

place and establishing a new world
record of 1852 eggs a year per hen

A pen of five barred rocks took
second place at the all-northwest con-
test at Pullman by laying an average
of 251.6 eggs each. This broke all
previous performances for pens Of
five in American contests, but lacked

Trail Of Turk Has
Left Utter Ruin

Despite all their sufferlngs at the
hands of the Hun, the war-yictims
OF Belgium and Northern France
are now busy at their work Of recon
struction and can look forward al
least to a harvest OF some sort dur
ing the coming summer.
But the Turk is even more thoro
in his work OF destruction than is
the Hun. The trail of the barbarous
Turk, wherever is has lead thruout
the ancient lands made familiar to
us thru Bible-lore, has left uttel
ruin, destruction, and starvation both
present and prospective. Not con
tent with wholesale massacres and
every manner of individual atrocity
the Turks destroyed every agricul
tural implement, killed all the stock
and food animals, and looted ant
burned all property.
The plan of the American Commit
tee for Relief in the Near East, in
addition to feeding and clothing
these pitiable war-victims, is to pro
vide them with agricultural imple
ments, seed for sowing, and domes
tic animals from which herds ant
flocks may be bred.

must be raised by March 10 at the
latest. In making out your budget

The Many Mysteries of
Nature
BY L. ". BOWER, M. D.

You can take an onion seed and pansy
seed, and plant them side by side In the
same spot OF ground. In one case, you
get an onion, with its peculiarly strong
odor, and in the other you get flower Of
rare beauty. You can plant poppy seed
and get opium "a dangerous, habit-forming
drug, or you can plant rhubarb seed and
get something that helps constipation.
No scientist, living or dead, can explain
these mysteries Of Nature. Behind the
invisible life germ in each seed is hidden
the deep secret that nobody understands.
Everything growing out Of the ground
seems intended for some use in establishing
natural conditions. DR.. Pierce, Of Buffalo,
N. Y, long since found out what Is
naturally best for women's diseases. He
learned it all through treating thousands
OF cases. The result Of his studies was q
medicine called DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription. This medicine is made OF
vegetable growths that nature surely in
tended for backache, headache, weakening
drains, bearing down pains, periodical ir-
regularities, pelvic inhammations, and for
the many disorders common to women in
all ages of life. DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription is made Of lady's slipper root,
black cohosh root, unicorn root, blue
cohosh root and Oregon grape root.
Women who take this standard remedy
know that in DR.. Pierce's Fayorite Pre-
scription they are getting safe woman's
tonic so good that druggists everywhere
sell it.
Favorite Prescription should have the
full confidence Of every woman in America
because it contains no alcohol and no
narcotic. DR.. Pierce knew, when he first
made this standard medicine, that whiskey
and morphine are injurious, and so he has
always kept them out Of his remedies.
