new RAIL WAGE
CUT PROPOSALS
ARE CONSIDERED
Chicago Farley Is Resumed,
After Carriers Reject
Unions offers.
BY JOHN b. MILLER
United Press stan Correspondent


CHICAGO, Jan. 30.-The rail-
ways most important parley in his
tory with their 100000 workers
proceeded today toward a fair and
satisfactory agreement" despite re-
lection of labors three counter pro-
posals to a fat 10 per cent wage
reduction.
The nine railway presidents and
twenty labor union heads adjourned
at 1920 Friday night without
reaching accord but the veteran
Daniel Willard, president of the
Baltimore 81 Ohio, said afterWard
the conference was going along
pleasantly" It started sixteen days
ago.
The conferees put in a thirteen
hour day Friday. The union heads
offering their three proposals, one
of which agreed TO a 81 per cent
deduction" and a further one-year
loan" of $87 100000.
Labor Still Optimistic
The labor forces also were still
optimistic. David B. Robertson,
head Of the unions group, said the
presidents were asked to give the
counter proposals further thought
We have every hope this consid-
Grafton will be given" he said
The presidents promised their
final answer on reconsideration of
these suggestions at another joint
session set for 10 a. m. today. 1t
was said union officials were angered
by the summary disposition Of the
points in half hour meeting of the
arrangements Friday morning. The
roads resumed their study Of the
plans, but it was believed their de-
mand for fiat 10 per cent reduc-
ton would be renewed.
All three suggestions fatty re-
fused by the rail heads carried the
provision that present wages be re-
sumed twelve months after the re-
duction, with no further attempt
by the arrangements to undertake"
smaller salaries in the following
year.
Three Plans Offered
The workers simplest proposal
was a compromise 81 per cent de
duction" from each pay check,
amounting to a S162,5OO,OO saving
10 the roads for one year. The 10
per cent reduction, only plan the
arrangements said they could &C
cept, would have $250,000,000.
Another suggestion was a similar
So per cent cut with an extra 81
per cent ito be repaid in monthly
installments during the following
year to individual employees or their
heirs" This amounted to an $87, =
100000 loan" without interest.
The last proposal also agreed to
an outright 61s per cent reduction
with an additional 81 per cent to
establish fund for employing more
workers and aiding "furloughed"
employees.

was well thought of by his neighbors
and friends and when he was thirty
four years of age they elected him to
the State legislature. But Palmer
came of pioneering family and he
determined, before settling down to
life of Hoosier politics, to take a
trip to the Oregon country. Conse-
quently, early in the year 1916 he
travelled by easy stages to the Mis-
souri, frontier, where he joined body
of emigrants and helped in the or
ganization of one of the important
caravans of 1845. The wagon train
moved forward to Fort Laramie,
thence to Fort Bridger and Fort Hall
by way of Soda Springs. The next
stop was Fort Boise, then the main
caravan went down the Umatilla and
Columbia, finally arriving at the
Dalles in September.
palmer spent the winter of 1845
and 1916 examining the resources of
the new country and so favorably i'm
pressed was he that in 1847 he took
his family to the new country in what
was called at the time 'Palmer's wag-
ontrain.'
"The next historic events in the
new country was the deplorable Whit
man massacre and in the organiza-
ton of military force to punish the
Indians, Palmer was chosen quarter
master and commisary general. From
that time on, he was known as Gen.
eral Palmer.
palmer next acted as commits
sioner to visit the Indians of the re-
gion and to treat with them and he
was so successful that President
Pierce appointed him superintendent
of Indians for the Oregon country in
1858. Soon afterward Indian war;
fare broke out in southern Oregon and
after the trouble was put down a
reservation system was organized by
Palmer and the Indians of the south
ern region were moved into the Grand
Ronde reservation. Later Palmer
had difficulty subduing the Indians
east of the mountains who were wilder
than those to the south. He retired
from the office of Indian commissioner
when his office was merged with that
of Washington territory, returning to
his home in Dayton, town which he
had laid out in 1885,"

INTERESTING ACCOUNT OF
THE OLD OREGON TRAIL

One of the most interesting ac-
counts of the long and tedious jour
ney from the East to the Northwest
in the early days was that left by
General Joel Palmer, young Indiana
statesman who made the trip in 1916,
keeping careful record Of the events
and writing down good advice for
venturesome spirits who were to fol-
low him over the trail of the covered
wagon. In an interesting story of
Palmer and his adventures in the
current number of the National Re-
public. Franklin F. Korell writes:
GAS we skim over smooth concrete
highways or negotiate the journey to
the Pacific in comfortable Pullman,
it is difficult to realize that less than
a century ago the western half of the
country was an almost unbroken will
derness and that the change has come
about not by some great upheaval,
but slowly and painfully by the for
ward march of heroes who are now
half forgotten. Yet many of these
pioneers who took the trail to the
West, unmentioned though they may
be in the annals of history, have left
their mark on the country and left
behind them, too, records of their
exploits.
"Among those half forgotten men
who have left behind an interesting
record of their adventures is Gen. Joel
Palmer, whose journal of his early
western travels is almost unknown to
the present generation of Americans.
Palmer, like many of the pioneers
of the Northwest, was born in Can
ada, the year of his birth being 1910,
although his parents had gone to the
Dominion from the state of New York.
While he was still young, the future
pioneers parents moved to the then
western state of Indiana, locating in
the hamlet of Laurel, in Franklin
county, not far from Cincinnati.
"The future adventurer's first step
before the public was political. He

Just as earth worms make a slither-
