ASK FOR COMMISSIONER

State Wants Action in Lake City Bank
Case.
The state has applied to the su-
preme court for appointment of a
commissioner TO take testimony in
the Lake City bank case. The suit
involves deposits of Barber county
which were in the institution at the
time it closed its doors.
Recently the Barber county com
missiOners brought action to compel
Frank H Foster, state bank commits
sioner, TO accept the account of the
county a special liability subject
to bank guaranty fund assessment. 1t
is the contention of the state depart
ment that since special surety was
given the county covering the deposit
that the guaranty fund cannot be
levied upon for any loss.

FORD WANTS PENDLETON
REPRESENTED IN SALT
LAKE MEETING AUG. 45
intermediate Rate Association
Will Review Fight Being
Made for Rates at Gathering

| "A general meeting of the Interstate
Rate association will be held in Salt
Lake City on Monday, August IA, ac-
cording to a notice to members thai
| has been sent out by j. A. Ford, ex-
ecutive secretary of Spokane.
The fight of the association to keep
the railroads from violating the
fourth section of the present regula-
tions and charging back haul in the
inter mountain country which will
equal rates to the coast and bacl;
again has been carried before the In
terstate Commerce commission. A de-
cision from this tribunal is not ex-
pected before the latter part of Sep
tember or the fgirst of October, ac-
corfding to Ford
Mr.. Ford has only recently return
ed from Washington, ID C., where he
spent about 10 weeks in the interests
of the association and other busi :
ness The meeting at Salt Lake City
will be for the purpose of taking uq
all the newest developments in the
fight that is being made by the inter-
mountain country to secure and keep
equitable freight rates.
c. I. Barr is director representing
this section OFF Oregon. No decision
has been made yet as to whether he,
will go to Salt Lake City, but the mat
ter will be taken up soon for a deci-
sion. Some of the views of Secretary
Ford are set forth in the follow.n
statement:
$50 far as I am concerned, l be-
lieve that our organization should q
once launch our fight in congress.
We have no time to lose. The rail-
roads are showing a disposition to en-
croach more and more upon the
fourth section and by degrees are try
ing steadily to return to the old dis
criminatory practice. -Four years ago
we led them into congress and we beat
them. We can do it again. Anyway.
the time has come for decisive action
on our part.
"The house of representatives viii
reconvene August 10. The meeting
of our association at Salt Lake City
will be the day before the house re-
convenes. Every part of the inter-
mountain territory should be repre-
sented at this meeting prepared to
express the viewpoint OF. each COM
munity. We will have to talk finances
and probably have to levy an increas-
ed budget. So think these things
all over. Remember we are i'm big
fight, remember also that we can win
this fight if we have the courage
to stay in it and come TO salt Lake
City ready to confer with other mem
bers on these important questions.
This salt Lake City meeting is going
to be one of the most important thar
has ever been held in the intermoun-
tain territory"

RAILROADS NOT TRYING
TO BREAK UNIONS is
STATEMENT Of DILLON
Settlement of Strike Situation
as Important to Public as to
Principals, Visitor Says.

The side of the railroad executives
planned fully today by Charles Dillon
of Chicago in an address which he
delivered at the noon luncheon OF the
Rotary club. About score of mem
hers of the Progressive Business club
also attended the luncheon and lis
tened to the talk OF the railroad man.
Mr.. Dillon is assistant to the chair
man of the western committee on
public relations, association of rail-
way executives. The membership of
this association includes the presi-
dents of all class one railroads, about
200 in number and the western COM
mittee represents the chief executives
Of the roads west Of Chicago, cover
ing 2S states.
THE mistaken impression prevails
that the railways are trying to brenlS
down the unions" Mr. Dillon said.
Nothing could be farther from the
truth. The actual fact is that the
roads are in the present situation
through no fault of their manage
mants, and that the conditions con-
fronting them making reductions in
rates and wages unavoidable have re-
suited from an economic necessity not
created by the managements. and en-
tirely beyond their control. This Is a
matter of current history.
when, in 1920, the United States
railroad labor board made the larg-
est advance in wages ever recorded
indeed to more than
$720,00O,000 q year, the railroads ac-
cepted the decision WITHOUT resistance
and paid the price. The men at that
time did not question the jurisdiction
of the board in making this enormous
advance. Now, In this period of read
justment, participated in necessarily
by all classes the leaders of these
unions after weeks of the most pa MS.
taking hearings which included care
full investigation from unquestlonable
sources, deny The right of this gov
ernment tribunal to reduce the wages
which previously It had increased.
These men are on strike. When re-
ductlons in wages and prices became
widespread throughout the nation in
the period Of readjustrnent the de-
mand arose for rate reductions. and
