By the Associated Press. PORTLAND, Oreg., May 24— Btrikes—lumber, maritime and min- ing—spotted the Pacific Northwest industrial map again today from Juneau, Alaska, to the California line. Some lumber strike observers saw an easing in the tense situation after picket leaders at Forest Grove, Oreg., sent out-of-town demonstrators home when faced by State and county | armed guards, a threatened National | Guard call and the reading of the riot act. Coupled with this was a scattering of mills, mostly small ones, bowing to sawmill and timber workers’ coun- eil demands for more pay, shorter | bours and the closed shop. They were permitted to resume business. Gold Mine Picketed. In Juneau, Alaska, 900 strikers pick- eted the Alaska-Juneau gold mine, but | the mine still was running with a few men at work | At Vancouver, B.

Salaries and administrative ex- penses of enforcing one N.

Meanwhile, after congressional pro- | tests against high cost of code en- | forcement, Donald Richberg, N. R.

Lincoln, jr.. of Philadelphia, who, ac- cording to Senator Nye, Republican, of North Dakola alse is receiving $24,000 in addition from three private trade associations. Richberg indicated he may begin a policy of consolidating code author- ities of related industries, as he pointed out the four budgets scheduled for scrutiny all provide pay for Mr. Lin- coln and all concern branches of the paper-processing industry.

The train, the “Abraham Lincoln.” will arrive in Washington at 7:45 tomorrow night. The new train, streamlined through- out, is painted a resplendent blue over all, including the new type engine that will pull it on its regular 5-hour Louis and Chicago when it is put into service on the Alton line, after a tour of several of the principal cities for inspection by the public. Rough Starts Eliminated. ‘Through new improvements, offi-% | cials of the road claim, the train elim- | inates the rough starts usually experi- enced in rail travel. The train is of | rigid construction throughout and is sufficiently heavy to insure riding comfort. Mechanical experts claim the engineer could not “rough handle” the train if he tried. H The new train is air-conditioned. In announcing the new stream- lined train, Daniel Willard, president | of the B. & O,, expressed the opinion that, contrary to the belief of many | that the day of the steam engine has | passed. a new and brighter day is dawning for this type of transporta- tion. The new train, at present consisting of six cars. will be drawn by new tvpe. streamlined engines. “The Lord Balti- more” and the “Lady Baltimore,” both painted a royal blue. The B. & O., according to officials of the road, were pioneers in stream- lining trains and in air-conditioning. The first experiment of the road with streamlined trains was more than 35 years ago, although at that time the train was referred to as “the wind- splitter.” The new train will embody all the features for riding and living com- fort. In addition to the regular din- ing car service, & counter service will be furnished those travelers who wish to economize. The train will seat 283 passengers—64 each in three coaches, 29 in each parlor car, 33 in the ob- and 42 persons can be seated in the dining car at one time. ' missioners.
