Secret Session Held Today in
Final Effort to Bring Peace
to Railroad Situation.
LABOR CHIEFS STAND PAT
NOT TO CALL OFF STRIKE
Union Chiefs Refuse to CON-
ment on Plan and Are Going
Ahead With Preparations.

CHICAGO, Oct. 277,-(U. P.)--Ia-
Dor leaders are pessimistic that the la
Dor board will be able to avert the
strike on a basis agreeable to both
sides. Ben Hooper, the boards vice
chairman, and a member of the pub
lie group, is in a secret session with
the union chiefs today in q final effort
to bring peace to the railroad situa-
tion. The result of the meeting yes-
terday was the labor chiefs standing
pat not to call off the strike, even
though the board ordered it. unless
the board could suggest Z satisfactory
settlement.
A reliable authority stated that the
railroad board would make another
effort to stop the strike, through the
following proposition:
"The board will guarantee not to al
low additional wage cuts to be made ii
the contemplated strike is called Off"
If the labor leaders consider this O
satisfactory settlement they may ac-
cept 1t and call off the strike. Union
chiefs refused to comment on the plan
and arc going ahead with strike prep
arations.
The governments action to prevent
the strike will probably be as follows.
A public appeal by President Hard
ing for continuance Of transportation
to prevent jeopardizing the public well
fare.
Court injunctions restraining Inter-
ference with the mail and interstate
commerce, with Jail sentences threat
ened for violations.
A big transportation system of mo-
tor trucks modified under Secretary
Hoover.
In the last resort, troops, which
would be employed at first to maintain
order and later to running trains
should the necessity arise.

The Dalles situation was explained
in a message to the East Oregonian
this afternoon from The Dalles Chron-
icle. The message is as follows.
THE DALLES, oct -(Special)
AT Il meeting Of the school board
here last night, Principal w. r.. Whey
was Overruled in his contention that
players Of the football team should
be eligible without question under the
rules of the Oregon High school Ath-
letic Association, and by "A vote of 3
to 2, decided TO withdraw from the
Association.
The controversy arose over Knute
Wernmark, one of the players, who
was suspended from school last
! spring and did not return. Wernmark
returned this month and was making
up his studies, but Principal Wiley
,yHtel.deu tne-t Le wac not eligiUie
under the rules OF the state associa-
tion. The board felt that Wernmark
should be given a chance to play.
{ Principal Wiley today notified Pen.
dleton and Hood River highs of the
findings of the board, with the result
that both schools Immediately cancel
ed pending games.

Wheat-Sentiment was rather bear
ish early in the day and the market
ruled weak, but later turned strong,
coincident with reports that Germany
was asking for offerings on wheat
The bulge, however, brought out heavy
selling and the market closed half to
one cent lower. Bearish news was
confined entirely to northwestern
and Canadian situations. Reports
from the latter market claimed excess
sive country offerings and lack Of de-
mand rather than a heavy pressure,
country offerings in the southwest
have almost completely dried up.
One leading local milling interest
bought about 100000 bushels of Red
winter wheat or practically the entire
stocg of that variety in Chicago.
1t may seem rather discouraging to
take the position on the long side of
wheat futures at this time, but in our
opinion the situation will strengthen
from now on and eventually prices
now will look very low.
Oats-Iacked independent features
with the bulk Of the trading in the
way of exchanging December and
May. Country offerings light.
Cash Markets.

HAYS ASKS PUNISHMENT
FOR MAIL ROBBERS

NEW YORK, Oct. 27.-(U. P.)-
Postmaster General Hays may ask
Congress to provide life imprison-
ment and even death in extreme cas-
es, for bandits robbing mails, he an
nounced today, Hays is investigating
the New York mail robbery which
netted the thief nearly one million

X. d. Simmons, chief postal inspeo-
tor accompanying Hays, said the rob-
berry of station &C" OF Los Angeles,
September 10, when 100000 was
taken, furnishes clue to the identity
OF the robbers here. They probably
were the same band, the truck driv-

FORUM LUNCHEON ADDRESSED BY REVEREND
ALFRED LOCKWOOD ON ISSUES COMING UP
At COMING DISARMAMENT CONFERENCE

In an eloquent address to the mem
bers of the Pendleton Commercial as
sociation at their weekly forum this
noon. Reverend Alfred Lockwood dis
cussed the issues OF the international
disarmament convention which has
been called in Washington for No
vember 1lth Reverend Lockwood
was introduced in a most interesting
manner by Dr. !. L. Temple, who re-
viewed the immediate causes of the
late world war.
F. Rev. Lockwood said, In part:
What has come to be known as
the Disarmament Conference has been
summoned to meet in Washington, on
Armistice Day, November nth. Its
personnel will consist Of representa-
tives from England, France. Italy, ia
pan and the United states. Its pur-
pose has been clearly marked and de-
fined, namely, to discuss the Limita-
tions of Armaments and the Pacific
and Far Eastern Problem.
Many reasons which we all recog-
nize and which need not be stated
here have conspired to make the ques-
ton Of Disarmament preeminent in
I the minds Of a vast majority Of oui
people. Surely the reasons why tho
nations should disarm are we'll nigh
innumerable. Here are three out oi
many:
mically-statistic show tha
OF the Four Billion Dollar budget o
the United States FOR this present yeai
over three and a half billions will b.
used to pay for our past wars and pro
vide for any future wars. The battle
ship Maryland was launched the othe
day. That ship cost s42.00O,000 witt
her eight slxteen-inch guns costin
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1921-10-27

$256,OOO each She carries a crew of
1900 men and 100 officers and 1t will
cost $2,0O0,OOO year to keep her go
ing. Give us just half the cost of this
one battleship and we will construct
the Umatilla Rapids Power Project.
Breeders Of Suspicion
Socially do breed sus-
picion and break down friendship and
then If the occasion arises or II as in
Germany's case there is the will to
create the occasion II is easy to resort
to the arbitrament Of war.
Morally-The preacher surely has a
right to say that armaments are CON
trary to the mind Of Christ. When the
Kingdom Of God is here whether today
or tomorrow or any other time then
nations will not learn war any longer
and 'the day of universal peace will
dawn. But that day is not here yet
But this needs to be said with all
omphisis possible that when you have
gcrapped your last battleship and de-
modified your last regiment you have
not made an end of war. You have
done away with preparedness but
have not eliminated the possibility Of
armed conflict Go back to the days
Immediately following the Civil Wal
and hehold the United States with
practically no army or navy but wal
did not cease. The simple fact is thai
unless and until the spirit OF suspicion
of hate, of greed. Of jealousy can b'
replaced by the spirit Of kindness, o
justice, of good will, and of fraternit.
the day Of concord and amity mus
wait its dawning.

Union Chiefs May be Jailed if
They Cause Mail and Inter-
state Commerce Tieup.
D0UGHERTY HAS AUTHORITY
TO OBTAIN IMJUNCTlONS
Failure Of Union Chiefs to
Observe IniunCtions Would
Mean Contempt of Court.

CHICAGO, Oct. 27.-(U. PD-With
the indications that the railroad labor
board would hold the unions respon-
sible for the stripe, Ben Hooper, vice
chairman of the boarl and a member
of the boards public group, informed
the union heads that the labor board
would not consider further petitions
for the wage cuts until the present
business had been disposed of "All
the rules and working conditions
cases must have action before they
will consider further ,wage cuts"
Hooper told the union chiefs. The
executives promise they will not cut
wages further without the board $
sanction, If you strike, the strike will
be based solely on last July's 12 per-
cent cut, small percentage of the to-
tai increases granted during the war"
Hooper also indicated the government
was prepared to take the strike case
to the courts if the railroad men per-
sisted in walking out. The union
chiefs left Hooper's conference with
stern faces.
Hooper related to the union chief
the history of the negotiations lead
ing to the strike vote, and told of steps
which the government prepares to
take, should the strike become effect
i've, to force the union chiefs to re-
scnd the strike call. The union chiefs
declined TO discuss Hooper's propo-
4.I l.a,
union chiefs, other members of the
railroal board conferred with A. p.
Thorn, the railroad executives chief
counsel. regarding the boards pow
ers to stop the strike as provided un-
der the transportation act. No actual
conference, however, Thorn leaving
for Washington. At this
conference the board approved the
statement of holding the unions re-
sponsible should the strike occur,
WASHINGTON, oct 27,--The de-
partment of justice indicated they may
Jail the union chiefs If they cause a
mail and Interstate commerce tieup
by refusing to rescind the strike. At
torney General Daugherty has author
ity to obtain injunctions restraining
the unions from tying up the country
The failure to observe the injunctions
would mean contempt of court.
With the strike beginning to be inn
Daugherty is preparing the
machinery for action in
restraining a walkout, or at least pre-
venting interference with commerce
and mail traffic. Daugherty declares
the precedent for such an action was
established during the famous Pull
man strike of 1894, when the United
States supreme court appealed such
government steps.
