0 ALLIED AGREEMENT NOT YET CONVINCED THE MORNING 'OREG ONI AN, FRIDAY, DECEMBER AO, 1019. WHS HIH6TDM MNERS DISREGARDS AiViERiCA Men in Two Districts Refuse to Resume Work. SETTLEMENT IS DOUBTED Workers, Largely Foreigners, De cline to Credit Reports That National Strike Has Ended. SEATTLE, Wash.. Dec. 18. (Spe cial.) Coal production in Washington reached 00 per cent of normal today, according to reports received at the Seattle offices of the various mining companies. Except in the Cumberland field. In which there are no important mines, all western Washington collieries are working nearly full crews of miners. In eastern Washington the strike is still unbroken, the miners of the Roslyn-Cle Elum field, the only one in that part of the state, having re fused up to this afternoon to return to work, though state officers of the United Mine Workers of America are in the field urging such action. Production Still Curtailed. The Roslyn-Cle Elum mines produce a little more than half of. the cus tomary coal output of Washington, but since most of their output is taken for railroad use coal operators today said the production of commer cial coal for other than railroad use was seriously -below normal. Neither officers of the Washington coal operators' association nor of ficers of the state district of the United Mine Workers had heard di rectly from the Roslyn-Cle Elum field today, but positive information was received by L. C. Gilman, district di rector of the railroad administration, that the strike there continued un broken. ItaIIray Ovrns Large Mines. The Northern Pacific Railway com pany is the owner of large mines in the Roslyn field and the information received by Mr. Gilman came through that channel. His report was that a strong radical sentiment among the miners was blocking a return to work. Regarding the Cumberland field, Robert H. Harlin said it was quite possible the miners there would balk at a return to work for several days more, the delegates from Cumberland having opposed a return to work in the recent Seattle convention of of ficers of the mine workers' local. The Cumberland field has been the scene of much X. W. W. activity in recent months. EtLEXSBURG, Wash.. Dec. 18. Coal miners in the Cle Elum and Ros lyn coal districts, at a conference with district officials of the United Mine Wrorkers at Roslyn today, refused to credit reports that the national strike of coal miners has been ended and that miners in other fields of the United States have returned to work. They expressed a determination to continue the strike until they had di rect information from locals in west ern Washington that the strike Is ended. Assurances of Sam Caddy, member of the national executive board of the United Mine Workers, and Ben Farmond, vice-president of district No. 10, who came from Seattle in an effort to settle the strike, that na tional officials of the union had or dered the miners back to work were rejected by the miners. Mlnern Largely Foreigner. Representatives of miners" unions at both Cle Elum and Roslyn conferred with the district officials at Roslyn this forenoon, and another conference was called later to continue efforts to persuade them that the strike was really ended. Both the Cle Elum and the Roslyn unions are said to have a large membership of foreigners.

MRS. HAMMER CONVIGTED ROBBERY OF $1550 "cil ARGED ; JURY ASKS LEXIEXCY. Woman on Trial Refuses to Divulge Xames of Others; Companion Declared Intoxicated. Mrs. Kate Hammer, charged with retaining J15B0 given into her keeping temporarily by Andrew Linden, was declared guilty in the verdict of the jury, returned shortly after 9 o'clock last night. The jurors recommended clemency. They' had deliberated on the case about six hours. Still obdurate when she appeared before Circuit Judge McCourt yester day, Mrs. Hammer refused to dtrulge the name of the "lady friend" with whom she said she pent the night on which she is accused of robbing Linden. She further refused to tell the name of the "lady friend of the lady friend" with whom she said she spent the next day, in spite of the fact that she had been warned repeatedly that she was in contempt of court and though her own attorney demanded that she obey the order of the court. Judge McCourt held her to be in contempt but postponed punitive measures until after the conclusion of the case, which went to the jury shortly after 3 o'clock. "I beseeched her to tell the name of this 'friend. but she declined," de clared former Judge McGinn, in his address to the jury. . "Maybe her ideas of honor are high. If she wants to keep her mother's, her sister's, or even her sweetheart's name out of this case, I say, 'God bless her loy alty!' I honor her, though I do not commend her judgment. "She may have brought her shame into this court, but God bless her for not bringing names. Even though she is recalcitrant and her loyalty is certain to prejudice you against her, I ask you not to be severe on her because of this virtue of loyalty." Mrs. Hammer declared that Linden was intoxicated during the eight days in October In which he kept company with her in the Venable hotel. Linden denied that he had been drinking, and said he gave the money to Mrs. Hammer at her request, that she might "carry it for him" while they went to price a lodginff house which, he intended buying.

The United States Rubber Company Announces a Grainless Rubber Compound For Solid Truck Tires Ok a- The United States Rubber Company has now perfected a method of compounding rubber by means of which the grain is entirely eliminated. For years rubber manufacturers have been ex perimenting to develop such a compound. It is this "grain" in rubber similar to the grain in lumber that is largely responsible for the split ting and cracking of solid tires. Rubber with a grain naturally splits or pulls apart along the lines of the grain when subjected to heavy load strain and road impact. The new rubber compound without grain elim inates entirely any tendency to split, because it does away with the points where splitting starts. It has no weak spots. A solid tire made of grainless rubber compound has none of the tread defects of the ordinary solid truck tire. This new method of producing a grainless rubber compound, and this company's new process of vulcanizing the rubber to the steel base, together have produced a solid truck tire the exceptional quality of which has already been proven by performance. This quality is backed by the good faith of the United States Rubber Company, the oldest and larg est rubber manufacturing company in the world.
