Pomerene and Senator Cummins asserted the presi- dent and MT. Hines had ample au- thority to settle the present crisis without reference to congress.
 Criticism of the employees for their demands came from Senator Smith of Georgia, who declared there was pro- fiteering in wages, and from Sena- tor Thomas of Colorado, who asserted the strike threats of the employees was only "short of treason" Sena- tor Norris of Nebraska suggested that increased freight rates might be avoided by cutting down the guaran- teed dividends, alleging that some holders of railroad stocks were re- ceiving from 10 to 50 per cent.

Ford because the Chicago newspaper characterized him as an anarchist in an editorial published June 23.

Arguments will begin Thursday and continue Friday, Monday and Tues day.
 Vigorous methods were required to complete the presentation of testi- mony today Editorials were filed for use in argument without first be- ing read, and cross examination was virtually abandoned.

WOMAN VOTERS MEET
WITH SUFFRAGE LEADERS

PORTLAND. Ore. Nov. 5.-(By
United Press) Women voters of the
state of Oregon are meeting here to-
day with Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait.
president of the National Equal Suf-
frage association.
Mrs. Gait came here to form an
Oregon branch of the National League
of Women Voters. Her call stated the
purpose of the organization as the
coordination of teh activities of wo-
men citizens
Many of the Oregon women who
have taken leading part in feminine
artivities in the past. responded to
Mrs. Cats call with considerable re-
luctance, seeing in the coordination
of :he activities of women citizens
something that is limitless in its scope
and political in sound. They are afraid
the real object of the organization is
the formulation of political "one big
union" of women voters.
So the meeting, which is being held
this afternoon may be rather lively
affair. All the interest is not on the
inside either. Some of the political
leaders among them men, on the out
side are anxiously awaiting news of
what's going on inside.
