BY PRESIDENT OF S. P.

Eugene, Ore, Oct. 15.-President
Sproul Of the Southern Pacific conn.,
pany, tonight issued this statement
in connection with the railroad
strike:
II cannot conceive that the en-
ployes of the Southern Pacific will
strike when the matter of fixing the
wages and hours of labor is in the
hands of the United States govern
ment, although the union leaders
seem to have fixed upon the South
ern Pacific as one of the first rail-
roads to suffer a strike.
"If the men do strike, they will
be practically striking against the
government. The United States
labor board and not the railroads
have the power to fix the wages of
railroad employees"

| Chicago, Oct. 15.-Rail strike or
not-and the chances are against
it--a big slash in freight rates is
on the way.
1t will come, in all probability
! before the first Of December Pos
sibly it will come within thirty days.
| Furthermore, It is coming clean
cut without being tied up to wage
! reduction. The wage reduction
will be sought till all means are ex-
hausted, If ,.ecessary, to obtain 1t.
but the slash in freight rates is
coming anyhow.
Such Is the temper of the rail-
road executives whose meeting
| here marked the elimination of
two months OF quiet, patient and
tedious work by their executive
committee-looking to a nation
wide voluntary freight rate reduce
tion. During all that time no ink
| ling of what the roads had in
mind had reached the general pub
| lie. But the foundation has been
laid. the cut has been recommend
ed and the reduction Is coming.
Some time within the next thirty
days the carriers probably will be-
gin to file their new tariffs, putting
the lowered rates into effect.
The lower rates are coming be-
cause the carriers have grown to
realize that something drastic was
needed TO put back into service
more than $4,000 idle freight cars
accommodating rust on sidings or
awaiting repairs in shops. They
are coming because the big ship
pers of the country have convinced
the roads. too, that the present
rates are more than the traffic will
bear. Another reason why they
are coming il that the present rates
hamper the farmer and other
classes of producers nightly in
competing in world markets. A
fourth reason is that eventually the
lower rates will mea greatly in
creased traffic and larger total
revenue.
Now 1t can be told the story of
how the move fer lower rates start
ed. progressed and led to the de-
termination of the executive COM
mittee of the Association Cf Rail-
way Executives to recommend a
cut.
About two months a group of
manufacturers concluded that
one of the things fundamentally
out of proportion in this day of
industrial readjustment was the
freight rate. Everything else, with
few exceptions, had come down
but freight rates were still stuck
up toward war time heights IL
the freight rates were lowered these
manufacturers concluded, business
generally would respond with an
immediate pickup and in the course
of short time the carriers them
selves would share in the general
prosperity through the greatly In
creased volume OF traffic.
The fret move was to convince
the railroad executives. The man

Washington, Oct. 15.-(Special.) }
Introducing resolutions against

more are contemplated.
The Tague resolution, presented

federal constitution by the Ku

New York cites the income tax law

Representative Upshaw OF Geor-

tiqn calling for a blanket tnpuiry
into all secret societies. "Why
pick on the Ku Klux Klan alone?"
he asks, asserting there arc several
other secret organizations Of large
membership whose activities are
quite as dangerous to the peace
and welfare of the country as are
those of the Klan.

London, Oct. 15.-As we read the
weekend news, one glea. OF light
struggles for expression through
the encircling gloom. The league
of nations has just concluded the
second meeting of Its assembly and
is about to hold the third interna-
tional labor conference.
The league ma. not be all that
its fond sponsors intended, but 1t
stands today as the only alterna-
tive to anarchy in a Balkanized old
world. However. the league can
only function effectively when it
includes all the great powers.
From this point of view there
are some hopeful signs. M. Noble

FOREIGN EXCHANGE RATES.
CHICAGO CHAIN MARKET

Chicago, April 1.-Every commodity dealt in on the board of trade fell to- day to the lowest prices yet this season Prospects of bumper yield of winter wheat were largely responsible Wheat closed heavy, 1-2 to 5 lie net lower with May 34 3-4 to 1855 and JuIv 1.14 1-2 to 1.14 3-4. Corn lost 7-s[ to 1-4c, oats 1 3-S to 1 s-4 7-Sc, and provisions 35 to 95c.
 Although profit taking by shorts gave the wheat market an, appearance of strength at the opening, general bearish sentiment was obvious and values soon began to break.
 Nervousness was evident regarding Flu. ropean political and economic develop ments, especially the British coal miners strike and there was no confidencg on the bull side when the attention of traders became focused on crop estimates issu- ed by two authorities here. Both esti- mates pointed to yield of winter wheat much in excess of last years total On the ensuing sharp decline export de- mand broadened out, and had some temp orary effect in rallytng the market, but investors seemed to have Leen scared away. and in the absence of any good general buying the close was near the bottom figures of the day.
 Liquidation on the part 0. holders wae a depressing factor in u market for corn and oats. The weakness of wheat appeared to be the chief immediate tn- centive to sell.
 Provisions gave away with grain and hogs.

METRIC SYSTEM IN JAPAN

In consequence of the ever increas- ing magnitude of Japan's economic relationship with foreign countries 1t has been found that the Japanese system, of weights and measures which is a relic of the feudal regime gives rise to considerable difficulty and inconvenience in trade because of its total difference from any accept ed system of the world measurements. Accordingly, the question of radical reformation of the existing system has long been considered. It is now reported that after a careful consid- eration of the subject by a commission which was established in the depart ment of agriculture and commerce for that purpose, the authorities con- cerned have reached a decision that the French metric system should be universally adopted. It is expected that bill for the adoption of this sys- tenn will be introduced into the forth coming session of the Diet by the com mission. The public expects a speedy passage of the same East and West News.

aMappinan the Ar.

The greatest discovery yet made in exploring the air Is that the atmos- phere consists of two layers, the low CT extending from sea level up to 1O,- 900 meters, in which there Is a steady fall of temperature with elevation. This Is colled the tropOsphere. Above this there Is no fall, and up to 10000 meters a slight rise. The upper layer Is known as the stratosphere. It Is actually possible today for an airplane to rise from the ground to the bottom of the stratosphere. say about six miles, in one hour. If we want to e1- plore somewhat higher, say 20 miles. we install light instruments on a sounding balloon.

THEY SHARE PuLPITs

For the first time in Tacoma history a husband and wife, who jointly share as pastor and associate pastor have taken their place in ministerial circles. They are the Rev. Josephine B. Sulston and the Rev.J. Hartly Sul- ston who fill the pulpit of the Nazar- inc Church, Tacoma, Wash.
 The ministry offers an admirable career for women sufficiently endow- ed with the gifts and graces and the sincerity of purpose. In the opinion of the Rev. Mrs. Sulston. She point ed to her own success in holding severa pastorates in Rhode Island. Maine and Vermont before Der marriage.
 The two Rev.Sulstons make thelI pastorates a real partnership. At the two Sunday services, one breaches in the morning and the other in the ev- ening. They share too.in the pastoral calls. and the Rev. Mrs Sulston, by reason of her sex often is more suc- cessful in getting into the homef and reaching the hearts of the women In eangelistic work she is always at her husbands side.

 The British Government has adopted a method of utilizing the equipments of war for the service of peace. says writer in the North American Review A number of it's warships. largely obso- lete fer fighting purposes, but fully ef- ficient in other respects are being as- signed to the uses of the government as floating laboratories for the study of formidable foot and mouth desease and the discovery of if possible certain preventive or cure for it. These floating laboratories will not only be as perfect ly equipped as any on shore could be but also will have this immense addit- ional advantage of being so isolated as to avoid any possible danger of spread ing the disease by contagion or even it is conceivable by air-borne infection. it will not. of course, be the first time that militant agencies have thus been employed. for the welfare of the peo- pie. While 1t was a civilian that first inunciated the theory of insectile propagation of yellow fever, 1t was the United States army that, at a deadly risk and indeed at actual loss of life. demonstrated to the world the correctness of that theory and put it into effective practice. They were military men who also dealt with the protean plagues of malaria.
 The service of the navies of the world in exploration and survey and investigation have added immeasur- ably to the sum of profitable human knowledge of the world, while in the charting of the reefs and destruction of derelicts they have made safe the highway of the seas for peaceful com- merce. In now grappling with one of the most elusive and destructive an- imal maladies, the economic cost of which to the world is enormous, a new and insignificant item will be ad- ded to that fine record.
