Nominee Understands Needs
of Humanity" Says Commit
tee That Made Close Inquiry
Into Records of Both Men.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.-(Specia1]
,-Governor Cox is described as one
of the best friends of the working
man in the history of American poll
teal life. in a report made public to-
day by the American Federation OF
Labor. The report was made by the
Non Partisan Political Campaign Com
mittee's committee Of the A. +. Of L.
consistine of Samuel Gompers. Mat
thew Woll and Frank Mbrrison- n
was appointed to invsstizhte tho rec
ords and present pozftion Of the two
candidates for the presidency from
the standing point Of labor and report
back to the federation
There can be but one conclusion
based upon a careful and impartial
survey of the actions and declarations
Of the candidates." reads the report
Governor Cox has shown himself
possessed of fuller understanding of
the needs of the working people. a
reader response to their needs and
their proposals and a broader states
manship in his public discussions of
the problems of the Industrial world.
I'm addition to his superior under
standing Governor Cox is the candi-
date on a platform which labor has
declared marks q measure of progress
not found in the Republican platform
and the planks of which more nearly
approximate the desired declaration of
human rights than do the planks
found in the Republican platform.
Not only in the specific utterances
relating directly to questions held
paramount by labor is the comparison
favorable to Governor Cox. His pro-
gressive and constructive viewpoint
holds throughout his declaration OF
public questions
Moreover, and as an argument that
admits of no qualifying or denial there
is Governor Cox's record as Governor
of Ohio during which he acted upon
fifty-nine measures of interest to labor
without acting on a single one ad-
yersely to labor.
This is a record of fidelity to hu-
mahity. of understanding of the needs
of the great masses of people that has
few. equals in American political life"
The Committee shows that in his en-
tire record as Governor and as Con-
gresham from Ohio, Cox has acted on
s 6f-measures appertaining to labor. In
every case he either voted or acted in
behalf of the working man.
On the otherhand in Is votes in the
senate on labor measures, Senator
Harding has IL times opposed the in
terest of the toiler, the report shows.
The Committee finds that Governor
Cox is more specific in his public de-
clarationsf than the senator. Harding,
they say. is vague. Throughout the |
report his quoted statements are pro-
nounced variously as mot clear" left
open to conjecture and open to the
criticism of lack of clarity
After eulogizing the fidelity of Gov
ernor Cox to the working people of
the nation, the report significantly |
concludes that as they vote the work !
ers will determine to large degree
he welfare and progress of the work |
ing people of our Republic in the
Fears just ahead

Monster Locomotives, for OPP

Await Track Betterment.

Seven of the 10 new mallet freight
locomotives which are to be used in
freight service on the Blue Mountain
division of the o. w. r & n. CO., have
been delivered at La Grande and wiD
soon be placed in service between that
point and Rieth. The engines are
said to have cost practically 100000
EACH
Heavier than any motive power now
in use on this system. these monsters
must await Strengthening of the
bridges between Rieth and Duncan
before they can be sent here. They
weigh $4,000 pounds. or 100000
pounds more than the mallets now in
use as helpers over the mountain.
Engines Are Powerful
One of these engines viii haul Is, 900
ton trains over the steepest grade at a
speed of from 10 to IL miles an hour.
The present trains, of $4,000 tons, are
hauled over the mountains at a to 6
mile rate with two nlikados and one
mallet or four mikados. They leave
Rieth with two mikados and take the
Mallet or two mikado helpers at Dun
can.
The new malletS do not appear
much larger than those now in use,
but contain all that is modern in the
way of new equipment Automatic
stokers and CRATE shakers will make
work easy for the fireman, while like
wise the engineers work will be light
ened.
S1.OO0.00O Invested
Railroad officials feel that in a
very short time, the new locomotives
in which is invested S1,0O0,000 will
have paid for themselves, for they will
mean a large saving in time, labor, ef-
and at the same time, the
other large engines can be used else
where, where they are needed.
The new equipment was built by
the American Locomotive Works at
Dunkirk. Pa, and sent to La Grande
deadhead in charge of messengers.
They are being put in readiness there
for service. So far as officials know.
there are no larger locomotives of this
type in service on any railroad serving
he Pacific coast.
