Census Expected to Reveal
Salem's Population at Ouer
20, 600; Rapid GrolDth Noted

Now that arrangements arc beins
made for the official census of Salem,
beginning the first week in January, the
big question among those interested In
the growth of the city is how near the
total will come to $4,000.
Among business and professional men,
and especially real estate men, there is
the assurance that the city's population
will run easily over 10000, while a few
real estate men are confident the figure
will run clos to $4,000.
Twenty years ago Salem was a typical
mud village, an old timer said this morn
ing. The official census of that veal
gave the city population of 4258.
Within few years after the 1906
census, there came the great western
hooss the great impetus for gosd roads
and the development Of the pfune neindus
trv, besides the assurance that the Ore
gon Electric would break the freight con
troll of the city held by the Southern
Pacific.
Just before the 1910 census was taken
part Of Chemawa precinct and part OF
east Salem were taken into the city, anf
the official census record for 1919, gives
Salem Il population of l4,O94.
According to the school census ane
figures based on other estimates com
piled by w. NJ. Hamilton, the city reach
ed population of about 1880 along IL

BURLESON DENIES HE
VIOLATED ANY RULES
Says Charge OF Ignoring The
Civil Service Regulations
Is False.

Washington, Sept. 25.-Charges that
he has violated civil service rules In
election of postmasters are unfair, un
just and without foundation of fact,
Postmaster General Burleson asserted
today in letter to Speaker Gillett of
the house.
The letter was in response to the
house resolution asking information
about filling of pestoffiee vacancies.
Burleson says the position of post
master at offices Of the first, second
and third classes is not within the elias
sified civil service. and that civil sery
ice rules do not apply in such cases, as
Il consequence of which it is not withi1
the jurisdiction of the house committee
on reform in the civil service to make
the inquiry contemplated.
Bnrleson said that Notwithstanding
the fact that the committee is without
jurisdiction he would transmit the fact:

city dropped back almost to the 1910
census.
About one year ago, conditions began
to materially change in the city. All
business houses vacant during the slow
years soon were occupied and within q
short time almost every house worth
while was rented. Real estate men who
are familiar with conditions note the
wonderful growth Of the CITY but regret
to some extent that the census could not
be postponed for one year.

/ Pulp & Paper company's mill, to EN-:
ployed between 125 and 200, the Valley
Packing company's plant to employ
about 100, and Kings Products com
pany employing already about 250, those
interested in 2 big showino for the city
feel that d 1871 Census will show q m,is
terial growth over that Of next January.
The 1910 census show the population
Of Salem as follows: First ward, 1850;
second ward. 2063; third ward, 1920;
fourth ward, 24a3; fifth ward, 1928
sixth ward, 4041, and seventh ward
1869.
The population of Marion county in
1890 was 22,934 BY the year 1900 il
had grown TO 27,7l3. The following ten
years showed rapid increase in popu
lation with a total Of 39,780, and now
the most optimistic real estate man that
icould be found, placed his 1920 estimate
at close to 10000.

Auditorium Denver, Colo, Sept, 25.
tsHyphens are the knives that are be-

dent Wilson charged today in . speech
demanding acceptance Of the peaes
treaty.
He made with emphasis the accuse
tion that "outside Legislative halls
the only organized opposition to tho
treaty came from the same forces that
favored Germany in the war.
There is no question of reservations
or amendments to the treaty, he said.
The issue is flatly acceptance or re-
| lection.
Acceptance means insurance against
war, he declared, s'and that's worth
! the whole game.
There was tremendous demonstra-
tion when he said he was under bond
to the mothers, wives and swcethearts
Of America to do all possible to pre-
cent another war, in the next genera
| tion.
"The children are my clients" he
lcried

said:

sal CONSUMPTION and military govern
ment abecause you can't run such a

More applause broke out when he
confidently, with wave Of his hand,

for such condition.

will be regarded as purchasable com
modify throughout the world, )" said
the president drawing attention to the
labor provisions.
''We haven I done our full duty with
regard TO bettering labor conditions in
this country y he admitted ,Sbut added
American conditions were hetter than
those in other countries and should be
extended to the world as a preliminary
to general betterment of conditions.
Some men he knows, Wilson said, are
very good takers "and its a pleasure
to hear them when they are honest and
know what they are talking about. But
time for debate has passed, he said.
The people know what is in the e5ve-
nant and refuse to be misled with re-
gard TO it.
If the treaty is turned down, Ameri-
ca will deserve to forfeit the conf
dcnce Of the world, he asserted.

treaty to show cause why it should

He said he wanted the senate to flat

stated he believed he was speaking fOi

Washington, Sept 25.-More than the
promise. Of a conference with steel Of
ficials is now necessary to get striking
steel workers back to the plants, John
Fitzpatrick, strike leader, told the SEN
ate labor committee today.
Fitzpatrick, the fhst witness in the in
vestigation authorized by the senate
Tuesday, declared that the refusal of a
conference was the cause of the strike.
But the workers now will not go back
until they get justice, he added.
Fitzpatrick made his statement under
questioning by Senator Kenyon after he
had told the committee that the steel Of
ficials took every means to prevent un-
ionizatiSh Of their wants and sec;areo
bad conditions nj ithe steel industry
were used in preventing the securing of
improved conditions elsewhere.
w. B. Rubin, steel workers counsel,
told of events leading up to the strike.
"Would the strike be called off If you
had the consent of the officials or a
confereneegn Senator Kenyon asked. :
''I don't think so,' Fitzpatrick re-
piled.
"There is now ground on which we
can get together, but the mere fact OF
calling of conference will not be 'suf
ficient to recall the $4,000 workers who
have left their jobs. They have been
subjected to brutality and murder. They
resent that and they will not go back te
the mills until they get justice.
"They are going to ask the United
States government to give them ordi
nary Justice and until that is accorcca
they will not go back to the mills"
"Then the real reason for the ssr'st
was the failure to grant a conference
Kenyon suggested. :.
"Yes,'' Fitzpatrick replied, and saie
liz Judge Gary had consented to con
ference the strike would not have beef
called.
Fitzpatrick declared that to go bael
until Justice is assured would result II
the workers "being shot to pieces. :
Fitzpatrick told of the staying of Mrs
Fannie Sncllings.

was done by mill guard Fitzpatrick

Gaily, and with much gusto, as is the
wont of Elks, the lodgemen took charge.

those who are there counts for aught-.
it is quite some day.
Quite likely, business is still going on

would opine that most Of the metropolis
is in Salem. Hundreds of cars have ar
rived from that city and up tosa late

coming All through the day it has been
difficult to find parking place on Sa-
lem's business streets
Early this morning activities com
menced in the Elks temple under the
direction Of Cooke Patton. Lunches were
served many guests and lodgemen in
various costumes extraordinary brought
forth comment.
''At the last moment strikebreakcr

Surrounded by thousands, a concer,
was offered near the gates this morn
ing by the Multnomah guard band, Of
Portland. Cheers were given by the Al

thanks was spoken by the secretary.
