WOMAN FOUND
DEAD IN BED

Mrs. Ruth Snider, aged 25 years,
an employee of the Illinois Roofing
company of this city, was found
dead in her bed at the residence,
2512 F'ifth-and-a-haIf avenue, by a
brother-in-law, Harry Snider, when
the latter entered the room prepar-
atory to calling her for breakfast.
Thinking that she had suffered
one of the usual attacks of which
she had been a victim for the past
few weeks, Mr.. Snider Immediately
called a physician, but life had
been extinct for several hours.
Coroner John F. Mayberry was no.
tilted and he conducted an inquest
over the body, late this afternoon
and a verdict of death by natural
causes was returned by the inquest
jury.
Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Snider
%ss forced to leave the Office
where she was employed on &C
count of a dizzy spell and she re-
tired early in the evening. Her
husband, Howard W. Snider, an ex-
press messenger on the Rock Is
land lines, is away on duty, and
he expressed the wish before 1eav-
ing that Mrs. Snider stay home
from work for few days.
Besides her husband, Mrs. Sni-
der is survived by her parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Gust Johnson of Port
Byron and a brother, Grant john
son of La Grange, Ill.

The road meeting yesterday was the
most remarkable gathering OF the sort
held since the time when Moses led
the children of Israel across the Reo
sea by tactics that have never been
repeated. The Lord was given credits
for helping Moses. s. Benson had u
lot to do with bringing county people
together yesterday for his refusal to
give state aid on the Echo road unless
it followed the river caused sentiment
to cFystaIize for a bonding plan as the
only course open il the county is to
share in reconstruction road work.
After the subject had been fully dis
cussed for three and a half hours yes
terday a resolution was unanimously
passed asking the county court to pro-
ceed at once to have petitions circu-
lated calling for a special bonding
election. These petitions will soon be
in circulation and they will be return-
ed in time for the February meeting
of the court. The court must then
call an election to be held not sooner
than 90 days nor longer off than 40
days.
Directors i'm Line.
A feature of the meeting yesterday
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1919-01-17

was that men who had previously op-
posed bonding for roads were active
in the discussion for bonds and in
framing up the proposition to submit
to the people. Among these were W.
W. Harrah and other prominent mem
bers of the Farmers Union. Assessor
c. p. Strain, and others. With them
there were all the good roads war
horses, old and young. from every part
of the county. The only discussion OF
a controversial nature was mild in
character and related to the amounts
to be specified for the Cold Springs
road and for the road from Nye to the
Grant county line Changes were
made in each instance as requested
and thus harmony and good spirit
preserved.
One of the satisfactory features of
the bond schedule. as explained by Mr.
Strain. is that the amount pro rated
for each section is almost absolutely in
line with the percentage of assessment
in each section. Hence the plan is
not only workable from a construction
standpoint but is ethical from the
standpoint of assessment.

GOVERNORS COUNCIL
NAY DISCUSS JOBS

WASHINGTON. Jan. ia confer
ence of governors here to plan with
the department of labor for putting
the growing army Of unemployed to
work Immediately was proposed today
by Senator KENYON. Kenyon and
other members of congress are alarm
ed at the rapid increase Of unem-
ployment and lack of any government
plan for providing work. There is
no lack of ideas in congress for Gre
ating jobs in the future, but how to
supply work now is the problem
worrying the legislators. Congress is
being urged on every hand to solve
the problem. which 1t is agreed, is
rapidly .l.saanliiae acute.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1919-01-17

Kenyon said: II am going to sugi
gest to the department of labor that
the governors of the states be urged
to attend, either in person or through
a representative, a conference with
the department officials to work out
some means of putting to work i'm
mediately more than 100000 men,
who, according to my information, are
jobless in the United States. If the
states will begin an emergency pro-
gram of work at once or as soon as
weather conditions permit, it may be
possible to prevent untold suffering.
Most of the state legislatures are now
in session and could provide the ne
cessary authority for the emergency
work"
In addition Kenyon's suggestions
two other ideas were advanced. SEN
ator France of Maryland, would move
workers from industrial centers where
there is an oversupply of labor TO
places where workers are needed.
