Supreme Court Turns
Bridge Toll Problem
Back to Circuit Bench

The Oregon supreme court this
morning refused to accept origin
al jurisdiction in the mandamus
proceedings through which the
state would have sought to COM
pei recognition by the Multnomah
county commissioner of the Cor
don bill making the governor the
collector of tolls over the interstate
bridge. This action on the part of
the court is based on the provision
OF the state constitution which
/ makes acceptance of original
Jurisdiction in such proceedings
optional with the supreme court.
The state will now file it's case in
the Multnomah county circuit
court, it was stated by Attorney
General VanWinkle this morning.
The controversy between the
state and Multnomah county
which brought about the enact
ment of the Gordon bill centers
about a claim of approximately
$77,5O0 alleged to be due the state
from monies advanced in the con-
struction of the bridge and as yet
unpaid.
When Governor Olcott went to
Portland on March first to assume
his duties as collector of the bridge
tolls. the Multnomah county of
ficials refused to deliver up the
bridge, making it necessary for
the state to seek relief through the
courts.
Seven opinions were handed
down by the court this morning

LONGER HOURS EDICT
OPPOSED BY WORKER!

Chicago, March 8.-"The pack.
ers are looking for a strike and
there is no doubt that they will
get one if they insist on their pro-
| posal to return to the old ten hour
| day." Dennis Lane. secretary of
the Amalgmated Meat Cutters an
Butcher Workers Union, said to-
day when informed of wage reduc
tions and increased working hours
announced by the packers today.
Mr.. Lane said that if it really
was necessary for the packers to
reduce wages in order to do busi-
ness, the employees would be will
ing to come half way in any prop
osition that was made in a fair and
just way"
Strike Is Predicted
II am convinced, however," he
said, that the workers will never
consent to return to the ante
deluvian ten hour day.
"If wages must be reduced the
packers must go about it in the
same manner which the men took
in getting their increases. The
packers have done away with the
services of Judge Samuel Alsch-
uler as arbitrator but we will not
accept a wage reduction unless it
goes before some fair tribuRal or
umpire. Either recall Judge
Alschuler or appoint some one in
his place, is our advice to the
packers"
Employers Scored
Mr.. Lane said he believed the
packers would relish a strike"
I'VE have found that they have
stored vast quantities Of their
products and that they could
close down for some time without
any real loss" he said.
Had the employees taken such a
stand as the packers now have
taken, we would have forced the
country into chaos and been con-
demned by everyone"

Percent Announced
Today

| Chicago, March 8.-Wage de.
creases Of approximately Jpn pei
cent affecting more than 100. 900
employees of the packing industry
In all parts of the country, were
CRITICALLY announced today. The
reductions are effective March IA
AT the same time there will be a
revision of working hours, time
and half for overtime being paid
on and after ten hours labor in
any one day, or after fifty-four
hours in any one week. Double
time will be paid for Sundays and
holidays.
~ Hours Guaranteed
The new wage scale reduces the
rate of hourly employees eight
cents an hour. The piece work
rates are reduced 12h per cent
AT present the lowest rate paid
labor is SO cents an hour. The
higher paid employees will be re-
duced proportionately. The min
imum wage guarantee for forty
hours pay a week will be con-
inued.
1t was also announced that the
packers are now working out plans
to establish closer relations be-
tween the workers and the man.
agement with a view to giving the
employees voice in all matters of
interest.
Armour Defends Action
Details of the plan would be
made in the near future, the an
said.
The reduction of 121z per cent
in wages is very small in view of
the fact that packing house wages
average three times as mucn to-
day as they did before the war;"
said ]. Ogden Armour, president
of Armour and company, in dis
cussing the decreases.
Despite the lower rate, em-
ployes can probably earn as much
or more than under existing con-
ditions. The forty hour minimum
wage with it basic eight hour |
day has demonstrated positively
Turing the two years that it has
been in effect that it results in
decreased weekly earnings. The
should enable em-
1loyes to average forty eight hours
wages a week and their earnings
will compare favorably with the
in other industries"

Taft Chief Justice
(continued from Page one)

/ soon to familiarize himsei1 WIN th'
work of the court.
High administration officials EN-
I phasized the former president was
1 the one outstanding figure among
those who might have been CONSIDER
/ ed for the place.
! Mr.. Taft is the first man in the ma
! tons history to be chosen for the
highest Office in both the executive
and judicial branches of the govern
ment. For more than thirty years
prior TO his retirement from the
presidency in 1913, he had been al
most constantly in public service.
throughout all of his public career
a hope that he might some day pc
come chief justice, is said by MI
Taft's close friends\to have been the
aspiration nearest his heart. 1t Is
said that he always has felt hlmseIi
better fitted by temperament TO serve
in the judiciary than in the eAecu-
tive branch OF the government, anu
that when in 1910, fortune brought
him the opportunity to appoint u
chief Justice. he would gladly nave
change0 places with tHS ihoh ~ -
ected and now succeeds.
II also is told OF Mr.. Taft that ne
hesitated several times at what nc
considered the parting OF pathway
that led in the opposite direction OF
presidency ard the chief justiceship.
When he was secretary of war under
Roosevelt he is said to have been or
tered a choice between remaining III
the cabinet and taking a vacancy on
the court an alternative that caused
him many hours of anxious considera-
ton. President Roosevelt is under
stood to have counselled against ac-
ceptance Of the justiceship, feeling
that his secretary of war would be
come a logical successor to the pFesI-
dency.
As president, It became Mr.. Taft's
duty not only to choose a chief justice.
but to make five other appointment
TO the highest court. OF the men he
selected only two. Justices Nandeven-
| ter and Pitney, remain to serve with
him IN the bench.
Although he came to the presidency
as citizen of Ohio, he now is select
necticut.
| Soon after he left the White House
he made New Haven his legal resi-
dence, accepting a position h" sun
| holds as professor Of international law
at Yale University. from which h.
was graduated in 1876.
| All IF his earlier traditions pointed
| to a legal career. His grandfather,
Peter Taft, had been a judge IN Yer
mont, and his father, Alphonso Taft,
left the bench TO Is~fve as aItorne!
general in the cabinet of President
I Grant. AZ the age Of IS the future
president became assistant proseCut-
ing attorney at Hamilton, Ohio. and
after that for 50 years he was given
/ a succession OF public offices which
! left him little time for the practice o.
bis profession.
