7 COAL F lems connected wrth it. Lewis Rad cliffe, of the United States Bureau of fisheries, arrived in Astoria yesterday and conferred with cannerymen, fish ermen and others identified with the industry. The government Is at present with out power to. regulate the commer cial fishing, Mr. Radcliffe said- He spoke of the menace of the purse seine and pointed out the ruin of salmon industry on Puget Sound through lack of protective legisla tion. "They are now proposing to stop all commercial fishing up there for 20 years in order to restore the sal mon." be stated, "and . the industry there used to be several times as large as that of the Columbia." T Sourdough Charges Waste and Incompetency. cBseliable FUEL SHORT NEAR FIELDS THE MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1920 MIS IS LY ROCK VnfaTorable Legislation Makes It Impossible for Married Man to Live, Is Charge. SEATTLE. TVash., - Oct. 27. (Spe cial.) Charges of inefficiency and in competency in governmental opera tions of the Alaska railroad and Chickaloon coal mines were made by Robert R. Hunter, pioneer sourdough and widely known throughout coastal and interior Alaska, who announced today that he would immediately ap peal for congressional action to re lieve what he terms an "intolerable state of affairs." Mr. Hunter ar rived in Seattle last week from Anchorage. . He is leaving immedi ately for California and while there will enlist the support of Representa tive Curry of California. "A married man cannot make a liv ing in Alaska because of his being made the object of unfavorable legis lation." declared Mr. Hunter. "I have just returned from the Chickaloon coal fields, and spent considerable time in Anchorage, which is located 75 miles from the coal fields. Coal Not to Be Had. "The government has been operat ing in the Chickaloon fields for five years and now these mines only pro duce between SO and 100 tons of coal a day. And this supply is all used to operate the mine railroad and other mine properties. There is not one pound of clean Chickaloon coal in Anchorage, 75 miles away. Punte. fharcrpH flint thA biggest imprac- fault is the employment of tical miners and executives. Hunter said he got employment in the coal fields and on the railroad to study conditions. "1 observed that out of every 45 mine cars of coal hauled out, an av erage o oifty six of these cars con tained pure coal," he said. "In other words, an average of 39 out of every 45 coal cars contain slate and rock not coal. The policy of the present management is to get tonnage, and not coal." Money Wasted, Says Critic. In his criticism of railroad build ing Hunter cited an instance con nected with the preparations to build a $1,000,000 bridge over the Susitna river at the mouth of Gold creek. "Placer muck was used in an at tempt to mix concrete for the bridge piers," he asserted. "Instead of pour ing concrete for a period of eight hours and then allowing it to set for 16 hours, the engineers poured it in for 24 hours. The result was that it all squashed out of the bottom of the piers. This caused a loss of $100,000, besides causing expense in keeping a large number of steel ex perts from the east on the ground." RADICAL SCHOOLS FEARED WASHRGTO.V "WOMAN" ROUSED BY FARMER-LABOR PARTY. Mrs. Estella G. Mendenhall of Se-I attic Reports on Scries ol v Meetings in State. SEATTLE. Wash.. Oct. 27. (Spe cial.) That the women of the state are thoroughly aroused by the threat of the farmer-labor party to revolu tionize the public school system, was the report brought to republican state headquarters today, by Mrs. Kstella 11. Mendenhall of Seattle. She held a series of meetings for women In Wenatchee. Spokane, Walla Walla and Vancouver and addressed many mixed audiences. "What may be said to be 'article 10' of the farmer-labor party's platform," said Mrs. Mendenhal, "declares for control and management of the public schools, freedom of expression for the teachers and the 'impartial and ac curate teaching of industrial and soc ial history. This is a thinly veiled declaration that the farmer-labor party would put into effect the North Da kota system of school management and teaching, with all of its obnox ious antagonism to the ties we hold must sacred. Tne women of Wash ington are keenly alive to this men ace to our public school system, and will not support the Bridges ticket with its non-partisan league-pro-Japanese taints. "There is a growing sentiment throughout the state in favor of the soldiers' bonus bill and 1 believe it will carry." . 10 SOLOISTS TO BE MO TWO MCS1CAL ORGANIZATIONS ALSO BILLED FOR CONCERT.

With Indictments Against 3 8 For eign Lines Xearly Quashed, Government Plans Appeal, NEW YORK, Oct. 27. A Joint de murrer to a federal indictment charg ing 38 foreign steamship companies and a number of freight brokers and individuals with violation of the Sherman anti-trust lsiws were sus tained in full today by Federal Judge Julius M.

The complaint alleged combinations for control of foreign steamship busi ness, and the sustaining of the de murrer, it was said by attorneys for the defendants, practically quashed the indictment.1 It was announced that an appeal will be made by the government . The complaint upon which the indictment was issued was based upon alleged methods in the handling of foreign freight and the compensation of steamship brokers. The demurrer, in which all of the defendant companies joined, asserted that the allegations included in the indictments tailed to etiow any spe cific violation of the law and that none was 'Sufficient to substantiate the general charge of restraint of trade or commerce.. ' In sustaining the demurrer Judge Mayer ruled in favor of argument made by the defense that none of the defendant companies had any agree ment involving a contract of freight rates, and that there was no violation of law in paying commission to any number of brokers a company mignt wish to employ in the furtherance and expansion of its business. COAL ORDERS SUSPENDED Demand at Lake Forts for Trans shipment Decline. "WASHINGTON. Oct. 27.
