Clipped Here and There


A Hood River man states in d.
dispatch, that when he returned home
on the day Of the general election in
1916 and told his wife that he had
voted for Woodrow W ilson she attacked
him with the scissors. The man 8
complaint was a cross complaint and
the dispatch did not state why the
wife was seeking a divorce, but as
there is no political campaign on, it
may be that he sided in with Mr.. Ford
IN his million dollar damage suit and
that the wife had worn out the scis-
sors, the wood saw, the carving knife
and all the other instruments coming
into politics with woman suffrage and
that the divorce court was her only re-

days labor of the workman commits
a crime against good morals, and in
such degree strikes a blow at the
founda ton of peaceful society.
Suppose the laboring classes should
demand and undertake by force to
compel the payment of a sum for their
services which all men would agree to
be twice its value, what would hap
pen?
Immediately the cry would go up
that anarchy was in the land. and the
strong arm of the government, civil
and military, would be called out to
prevent the confiscation of the money
OF the employer, and properly so-but
why? Because labor had demanded too
much. But who is the anarchist when
the laborer gets too little? 1t is poor
rule that will not work both ways.

Washington, Aug 2G-The railroad
ShOpmen union officials are in con-
ference on President Wilson's reply to
their demand for wage increases. The
question now is whether the ShOpmen
will reject the decision of the Presi-
dent limiting increases to about
cents an hour. persist in their demands
for wages of 50 and 80 cents an hour
and Strik" to force concessions.
on.-PostpOnement Of the
settlement Of wage demands until nor
NAL economic conditions are restored
was announced today by President
Wilson as the policy which the admin
iStratfOn will pursue in dealing with
such questions, particularly those af-
fecting railroad workers.
The President announced also that it
was neither wise nor feasible. at this
time, when the most important ques-
ton before the country is a return to
a normal price level, to attempt to in
crease lItlSlll IdltS W ploNlit
for higher wages.
1--WE ought to postpone questions OF
this sort until we have the Opportun-
ity for certain calculation as to the re-
lation between wages and the cost of
living" the President declared in
statement to the public explaining his
decisions as to wages. at is the duty
of every citizen to insist upon truce
in such contests until intelligent settle
ments can be made and made by peace
and effective common counsel. l ap-
peal to my fellow citizens of every en-
ployment to cooperate in insisting up
| on and maintaining such truce"
Mr.. Wilson's statement was issued
in connection with the decision of him
self and Director General Hines on de-
mands by railroad shopmen for 20
per cent advance in wages, but the
general policy pronounced covers also
| the wage demands Of other hundreds OF
| thousands of railroad workers, which
are pending before the director gen
eral or about to be presented. 1t is to
| be expected that other unions trying to
obtain more pay will be asked, as the
shopmen, to play their part with other
| citizens in reducing the cost of living
by foregoing a temporary advantage
which would add to transportation
| costs.
The decision of the President and
the director general was announced to
a committee of 100, representing the
shOpmen In reply to their demands
for % per cent increase, the shop
men were asked to accept an adjust
ment of their pay TO the basis of ten
homS' pay for eight hours work,
which they contend was given other
employees and denied them when the
| Adamson law became effective. This
means an advance of the basic pay
from SO cents to 72 cents an hour,
whereas an increase of II cents to 81
cents an hour was demanded.
Under the new scale of wages, ma
chinfsts, tool makers. bOilermakers, riv-
eters, blocksmths, sheet metal work
ers and electricians, all of whom now
receive 6S cents an hour, will receive
