and will leave everything in
state of uncertainty. This exist
ing state of uncertainty is disas-
trous and l for one shall not vote
to probing it. One of the neces-
sary steps to end it is a peace
settlement with Germany and
the resumption of business rela-
tions with that great country.
"The first necessary step to end
this intolerable uncertainty is
peace settlement. The uncertain
ty was not ended by the Knox res
olution: it cannot be ended in any
other way than by a treaty with
Germany and I am for
ratification Of this treaty because
the peace settlement is the su-

Senator Hitchcock said that the

"The army is the last resort,
General Wright said. ''The situa-
tion will first have TO be handled

are unable to cope with it, the ma

Conference Will
Test Labor Board
Strength, Belief

Washington, Oct. 18.-The ac-
ton of tn eRailroad Labor Board
in summoning railroad union
chiefs to Chicago TO rconference
VISA described in high official cir
cles today as first step to de-
temirne whether tn era1lway
board is to be regarded as an et-
ficient government agency or
failure.
The step, it was learned today
atefr hit ecabniet meeting, Is In
entire accodr with the desiers Oh
the administration, although the
indications were that President
Harding was not ready to take a
personal hand in the situation SO
long as the board was working TO-
ward a solution.
The summons issued to the
brotherhood chiefs is understood
here to be purely unofficial one
and not of the formal character
authorized under the Cummins-
Esch law for cases where there
have been violations of the board $
rulings. The discussions at Chi
cago are expected to be largely
informal, and to be used as
basis for determining whether
formal citations shall be issued
against the brotherhoods.
The governments view is tha'
while the strike grows out of an
effort of railroad managers to
meet the general CALL for reduc-
tion in transportation rates, 1t Is
actually hinged upon refusal oi
the railroad labor organizations
to accept the cut in wages made
by the railroad labor board.
President Harding has been as
sured by the railroad labor boaro
members with whom he talked
Yesterday, that no formal reques
or proceeding involving addltiona

School
Space Needed
States Hug

Need for more space in Salem
schools was brought to the atten-
tion of Kiwanis club members at
their luncheon this noon in the
Marion hotel, by George w. Hug,
superintendent of public schools
of this city.
Last year there was an enroll
ment of 5000 in the public schools
Of Salem" stated Mr.. Hug. "This
year there is an enrolment OF
4200, an increase OF 10 per cent,
giving Salem according to the
school census and figured on the
basis of one child to every five
persons, a population of over 20,-
900. I believe that we can expect
this 10 per cent increase every
year"
To illustrate the need, Mr.. Hug
cited instances of different schools
stating that the Englewood school
was the only one not filled to ca
pacity. The high school, he said,
was so crowded that it is neces-
sary to hold English classes in
the domestic science kitchen. The
Mckinley school opened to She
junior high school now houses 200
pupils. The Lincoln building is
now fully occupied with the ex-
ception of two small rooms-cloak
rooms thrown together-and is
used for elementary grades with
a staff of eight teachers. The
Richmond school occupies eight
rooms now instead of six, and all
rooms are filled. The Washing
ton junior high school Is now $50
pupils when it ought only to have
an enrolment OF 400, and has so
increased in proportions that all
elementary grades but the first
and second had to be transferred
to other buildings. The Grant
Junior high school has also re-
quired additional room until only
three rooms can be used for ele-
mentary grades. Garfield, Parh
and Highland schools are filled ot
capacity.
i Mr.. Hug ended his speech by
saying that more interest wal
taken by the people in the athle
tic contests of the school than thu
real problems which confronted
their administration.
