GENERAL WAGE CUTTING
FOLLOWS RATE REDUCTION

Following the general reduction ir
freight rates announced last week BY
the Interstate Commerce Commission
a $48.000.000 cut in the annual wag,
schedule of railway workers has beer
ordered by the labor board verdic
rendered Monday.
The decreases, which averaged
five cents an hour in the majority Of
cases. followed cuts of $400, 100000
made last July by the board. Monday s
decision. however. affected mostly
of way workers, al
though decisions ere pending affect
ing other classifications.
If the wage cuts made in the latest
decision arc extended to other classi-
fications expected soon, it was point
ed out in railway circles tina much
Of the $6O0,O0O,O00 increase given by
the board in 1920 would be wiped out
and wages restored to level which
railway officials had told the board
would lead to new era of develop
ment and open the way to the en-
ployment OF 100000 men.
The decision was signed by the
three railway members of the board
and the three members representing
the public. A dissenting opinion was
filed by the three members represent
ing the labor group. The majority
opinion said that the wage cuts ef-
fective on July 1, were made in ac-
cordance with decreases in the cost Of
living.

Offer Of Methodist Church Building In
Athena for Conversion Into Community
Undenominationa| Protestant Hospital

: PASTOR Lowther of Athena Meth
odist Episcopal church authorizes the
Press to announce thatAt is proposed
10 transform the fine Athena church
building into non-denominational
protestant hospital, reserving only
sufficient room for chapel services for
the Methodist congregation. x
The church building, which is con-
structed of stone and brick. is one Of
the finest edifices in Umatilla county.
Commodious in architecture. with full
basement and large auditorium, class
room, study, kitchen, ETC., it is Of
fered by the Methodists for proper al
teration to conform to hospital fac
ilities.
Rev. D, H. Leach. district superin-
tendent, will be in Athena soon, to
confer with the church body relative
to the project. At this time COM
mittees to handle all phases of the
contemplated enterprise will be ap-
pointed. and active work will then be
under way.
1t is proposed to convert the big
building, which is fire-proof into
modern hospital, and dedicate it as
protestant institution, but undenomin-
ational so that all protestant demons
nations will have equal interest in its
success. 1t is felt that the proposal
will be readily accepted and substan-
tial support received. in view Of the
fact there is not protestant hospit-
al of any size in the county, and for
the further reason that the Method
ist proposal broadly covers every
thing that has for years been agitated
in point of dire public need.
Pastor Lowther, on investigation
finds that the cost of remodeling the
interior of the church building for
hospital purposes, does not necessarily
entail a large outlay in expense. AS
details are worked out and plans made
known, they will be published in the
Press for the public's information.

MAKE TAX TURNOVER

A turnover Of tax money was
made to the office of the county
treasurer Monday, by the sheriff's of
flee. The taxes, says the East Ore
gonian, are $132,417.9O for current
payments and $5.5S7.22 on delinquent
taxes. There still remains approx
imately $4,000 which has been coll
lected but which has not been turned
over to the treasurer's office. Treas
urer G. X. Cranston said today that
he is endeavorihg to make arrange
ments with the office of the state
treasurer to secure sufficient grace to
prevent the adding Of penalty to the
county on account of its inability to
pay the first half Of the state taxes.
Inability to pay is not caused by lack
of taxes paid but because the money
has not been turned over to the treas
urer, it was explained.

ernatorial horse race is due for Nov
ember, If the defeated candidates,
Hall, Patterson, Bean and Lee, follow
the lead of George White and accept
the verdict Of the primary election,
few politicians anticipate that Olcott
will face serious trouble. But, on the
other hand, if they do not, or if Hall
and the Klen do not, and Pierce aligns
himself with them, or they with him,
either openly or by mutual understand
ing, then Olcott will face real fight,
with Pierce in better position than any
Democratic gubernatorial nominee
since the memorable anti-assembly
campaign between West and Bower
man in the fall of 1910.
The real issue--or, at least, that
which would be the real issue, with
the Klan and anti-klan fight out Of
it's that of taxation or its reduct-
ion. The income tax problem is due
to confront the voters, and in all prob
ability the legislature. From this dis
tance it can readily be seen that it
will be a badly tangled controversy
before it is ended, if it shall be ended.

DAD WEIGH. HERO

Z Dad Welch frustrated the burglar
lking of Harden's Pool Hall in the
early hours of Saturday morning, af-
ter the burglars had gained entrance
to Harden's building. after breaking
out a rear window. The robbers were
on the inside Of the building when
they were frightened away by the ap-
pearance Of Welch at his back door
near by. TThe safe, which was un-
locked had been explored, and papers
from it were strewn over the floor.
Nothing was missed from the stock,
and it is presumed that the burglars
were scared away before they had
time to loot any of the stock.

Political Forecast
BY Frank Watson

Ralph Watson political editor Of
the Oregon journal summarized the
political situation as follows:
With the plurality of Governor o.
colt above the 500 mark and the close
fought contest between him and Sem
ator Hall finally determined except
for the possibility of recount de-
manded by the latter, political atten-
tion is swinging towards the sum-
mer campaign and the November ell
ection.
That it will be hard-fought cam
paign from the tor of the ticket to
the bottom is in the mind of every
body. That the bitterness Of the pri-
mary fight will die out few believe,
though many hope that the interven-
ing months may soften the rancor
of the past and bring state politics
closer back to sanity, or, at least, the
normal.
The question now looming largest
in the view of political observers is
phrased in the oft-repeated query,
"What will the Kluxers do now?" And
in answer to that is the assertion
heard from many quarters and from
unexpected lips that "Hall's defeat
means Democratic governor next
fall"
But does it? Or, to allow for the
softening influences of the long sum-
mer time and it's varied vacation dis
tractions-will it?
1t is undeniably true that Olcott's
anti-Ku Klux proclamation, whether it
was good political strategy or the re-
verse, had the effect of dynamiting
Patterson, Bean, White and Lee camps
and sending most of the fragments
either' into the Hall following or in
to that of the governor. There are
those who believe that without that
proclamation Olcott would have won
the nomination hands down and with
plurality running into the thous-
ands. But that, of course, is surmise.
Few will dispute, however. that o.
colts bomb Jared loose from Patter-
son all of that following inclined to-
wards the Federated Societies and the
Klan which had nevertheless staid
away from Hall until the governor
made his move. And, in support Of
this argument and that other to its
effect that Olcott would have been an
easier winner without his proclama,
tion, politicians point to those distant
counties where the virus of the Port
land fever did not have time to PEN
etrate-and where Olcott and Patter-
son vie for control, with Hall neg
ligible factor.
Whether the venom of the primary
fight is to be injected into the gen
eral campaign will depend in large
part upon himself as it's leader. There
now is talk, coming near from the
Hall camp, Of an independent can
didate to BE- put in the field. There
is stronger talk of support to be
thrown behind Walter Pierce for pur-
poses of political revenge and polit-
ical reprisal. The more soberminded
and conservative followers of the Re-
publican flag decry both of these sug-
gestions. however, and are busying
themselves to check either movement
before headway may be gained.
1t is generally conceded that gub-
