Epiey of Philomath college. One or more professors from each school was present, and nearly every college had a representative who pre sented a paper or. some topic of gen eral interest to the schools. Professors Jewell of McMinnville and Bates of Pacific university, gave papers. Professor C. H. Wooddy ol Heed college took up intercollegiate athletics in a way that aroused con siderable discussion and led to the framing of a set of resolutions, which represent the ideal toward which the colleges should work, and which are to be presented to the proper authori ties in each of the colleges repre sented. Suggestions Are Offered. The suggestions made were as fol lows: 1. The function of athletics in the college is to offer to every student the opportunity to develop a sound body and such traits of character as are developed by competitive games. 2. Intercollegiate contests should be so conducted as to further rather than to hinder intra-annual athletics activities. 3 To insure this result, the fol lowing restrictions should be placed upon intercollegiate contests: a) All intercollegiate contests shall be directly under the control of the college faculty or that member of the faculty responsible for the direction of physical education. lb) There shall be no paid coaches, c) No admission shall be charged to games. All expenses incidental thereto shall be provided by the col lege budget. Leagues Are Opposed. (d) The number of games in a sin gle season shall be limited. There shall be no intercollegiate leagues in volving long series of contests cul minating in a championship award. Professor Franklin of Willamette presented the Wisconsin college drive, and President Epiey of Philomath a co-operative drive for Oregon col leges. Steps were taken to bring these colleges into still closer fellow ship, to make them better known through the state, and more useful to the state. Albany. McMinnville, Pa cific and Philomath colleges, and Pa cific university made arrangements to continue their offer of a free schol arship to the student graduating at the head of the class in any of the high schools of Oregon. DiY INDUSTRY GROWS KLAMATH COMPANY BUYS 400 ACRE FARM. the regional officials organized a lo- 1 cat committee of coal dealers who must submit sworn statements of sup-plies-on hand and deliver no coal to nonessential industries and institu tions and make no deliveries even to essentials the first five divisions of the priority list when they have less than one week's supply. Industries to Be Crippled. T. W. Proctor, chairman of the northwestern region committee, ex plained that the action meant that the dealers really owned no coal, that it was now in the hands of the gov ernment to be distributed as the gov ernment directed. "Nonessential industries will be crip crippled, manufacturing will be stopped, commerce will be lessened and slowed down and luxuries, if not certain conveiences of travel, will be eliminated." Mr. Proctor explained that the sit uation would call for elimination of palatial trains and parlor cars. While the mines in operation are producing better than 40 per cent of normal, the railroads require 34 per cent, Mr. Proctor said. Closing of schools for one month in Chicago, as well as limiting the hours of theaters and church services were discussed, but action deferred. Schools in Kansas City, Omaha and Lincoln, Neb., already have been or dered closed and theaters and stores and even industry reduced to shorter hours as well as in Indiana. The Chicago committee decided that cold storage plants were nonessential. but should have coal to prevent food spoiling. Closing of Light Plant at Joseph Imminent.

Governor Allen tried early tonight to reach Major-General Wood by telephone to discuss with him the advisability of sending federal troops to Kansas City in response to appeals from officials there in connection with the strike of switchmen. The governor said that he was seeking details of the situa tion in Kansas City. In the event he is unable to reacn General Wood by telephone. Governor Allen said that he would forward by telegraph the request for troops. The probable opening of coal mines in the Osage county field with a daily production estimated at between 400 and 500 tons, and the dispatch of 1200 national guardsmen and 350 volun teer coal miners to the Cherokee Crawford coal district, were develop ments in Kansas today. Governor Allen today conferred with operators from the Osage county field and afterward it was indicated that he hoped to have the mines there in operation by Tuesday. The' governor also was notified to night that brass fittings had been re moved from a steam shovel at the Acme Coal company mine, 18 miles north of Pittsburg. Regarding the acts of sabotage Governor Allen de clared that the mines would be fully protected and that with federal troops already on the field it was expected no further trouble would develop. During the day and early this even ing approximately 1200 national guardsmen, composing the 4th Kan sas infantry. fully equipped, en trained for the Pittsburg district and are expected to reach there early to morrow. While they were preparing to move Governor Allen telegraphed the war department in Washington requesting equipment for four com Danies of cavalry to be available if it was found necessary to send mount ed troops into the mining district. During the day also 150 motor trucks, which will be used to carry soldiers on patrol duty about the coal fields, started for Pittsburg from many parts of the state. Governor Allen tonight was opti mistic of the situation and expressed the opinion that coal would be pro duced in considerable quantities by Tuesday. More than 5000 men have volun teered to work the mines, it was said, and more offers are being received daily. It is expected that more than 1000 workers will be in the strip mines by the end of the week. Gov ernor Allen hopes to be producing 100 cars of coal a day by the end of the week. The severe cold weather, which has been making the fu-el shortage more, acute during the last few days, per sisted tonight and further telegram appealing for assistance were re ceived at the governor's office. RESTRICTIONS PUT IN EFFECT Coal Strike Causes Pinch of Short age to Be Felt. WASHINGTON, Nov. 30. The pinch of the coal shortage promised tonight to force the adoption of drastic meas ures to avoid actual famine. "Vaca tion" of one month by the soft coa miners has brought conditions lik those prevailing during the war, i: many sections, but war-time restric tions have not altogether checked the drain on coal piles. Not much hope was held out by of ficials tonight for early production of bituminous coal in quantities suf ficient to permit the maintenance of the present reserves, under super vision of the railroad administra tion's central coal committee. The latest authentic figures show that last week's soft coal output did not reach 50 per cent of normal produc tion. This meant, officials explained, that local needs must be met from the supplies being distributed through the central committee, whose stocks aggregated about 22,000,000 tons when the miners quit work. While regional coal committees, acting under instructions from Wash ington, have been dealing out coal sparingly, further drastic restrictions have been agreed upon bv the central committee. They will be put into effect whenever the regional com mittees are unable to meet the situa tion with local regulations. Details have not been made public but it is known that the plan provides for a tremendous reduction in soft coal consumption.

A mass meeting of citizens was called tonight for tomorrow morning to consider the situation. Conditions here are said to be mainly the re sult of the Kansas City switchmen's strike. SPOKANE. Wash.. Nov. 30. Al though a four-Inch snowfall has in tensified the demand for fuel in the city, local dealers declare that a sup ply is coming in from Canada which through conservative distribution will prevent serious shortage for home consumption. Railroads today reported a 30-day supply in the bunkers. The snowfall is expected to 'be of benefit to woods men in hauling fuel from the nearby forests to the markets. ST. LOUIS, Mo., Nov. 30. All the aters in the southwestern regional coal district have been notified by the coal committee that no more coal will be supplied to any of them until th,e output of coal is greatly augmented.
