UNION CHIEFS SUMMONED Halt in Coal Production Under Present Circumstances Con-j-plracy, Declares Judge. INDIANAPOLIS. Ind.. Nov. 8. Cancellation oi the strike order, which since midnight of October 31 has kept 400.000 union bituminous miners out of the coal pits of the country. was ordered by Judge A. B. Anderson in the federal district court here today. Violation of the wartime federal food and fuel control act as alleged by the attorney-general's department was affirmed by the judge, who .-aid that the strike was not only illegal, but that under the circumstances it approached rebellion. Unless the union leaders choose to defy Ihi: court and there was no in dication tonight of any such inten tion they can move only towards crying the' big walkout. The court's order was so worded that failure to cancel the strike call or any affirma tive word or action tending to "aid and abet" the continuance of the strike would make them violators of the injunction and in contempt of court. I nlon Chiefs Summoned. Tonight, therefore, the union lead ers are under orders to meet here Monday, draw up a cancellation of the strike order, submit it for Judge Anderson's approval by 10 A. M. Tues day, and have notice of it on the way to all local and district unions by 6 P. it. that day. Telegrams sum moning district 'presidents of the union and members of the executive board and the " central competitive field scale committee to meet here Monday were dispatched a few hours after Judge Anderson's sweeping man date had been issued. Union officials here would not com ment upon the court's action and the judge's colleagues were even less communicative. C. B. Ames, assistant attorney-general, who conducted the case for the government, smiled and said: "The de cision speaks for itself." MinrrH' Fight HopeleMfi. Attorneys for the union fought a losing fight from the start of the pro ceedings. First they moved postpone ment for a week, indicating that there was a chance for settlement of the strike by that time. Mr. Ames ob jected to postponement and the court ordered the case to proceed. Then the government introduced five affidavits as evidence that the operation of the railroads was being interfered with and that contracts be tween employers and miners had been broken. The defense responded with its motion for dissolution of the re straining order and arguments fol lowed. Although allowed an hour and a half. Judge Ames took only 35 min utes in presenting the government's case. He based his argument upon (Concluded on Page 2, Column 3.) i))X - pr-S? JFWWlFJWl2 OT fcoHKretJWoo.00 I..- .

After drifting practically helpless at sea since last Monday and being swept from stem to stern by the high seas which continually broke over her, the disabled launch Wotoc was towed into port by the tug Oneonta about 10 o'clock last night. The craft came in with her engine out of commission, her crew of three men worn out with continuous work and loss of sleep and practically out of provisions. The only articles re maining in the galley were a few potatoes, beans and biscuits. The Wotoc. which is owned by W. T. Cleverdon, sailed from San Fran cisco on Friday of last week en route to Puget sound, where she is to act as a tender for a wrecking outfit at Elliot Point. She is under command of Captain F. M. Friesell, while J. B. Kdwards is "crew" and navigator, and William Iagau is engineer. Almost from the start, and on Monday, when off Coos Bay. the engine gave trouble and went out of commission. A jury foresail and staysail were rigged on the single mast and the craft beat her way slowly up the coast. Thursday night she was abreast of the Columbia river lightship trying to make the mouth of the river, but a shifting of the wind carried her out to sea and she. was endeavoring to work back again when she was sighted by the bar tug about six miles southwest of the lightship and taken in tow. During all this time the heavy seas were continually washing the launch fore and aft and as the pumps were out of order she was kept clear by bailing with five-gallon ns. The Wotoc will be repaired here and then proceed on her way to the Soun'I. She is the old customs launch Hartley, is 65 feet over all and of 15 tons net. U. S. MARINE BILL PASSED Vessels to Be Sold, but Regulated by Shipping Boards WASHINGTON. Nov. 8. A bill out lining a permanent policy regarding the merchant marine was passed to day by the house with practically no opposition. The measure provides for sale of the government fleet to American citizens, and for continuation of th' shipping board with regulatory powers. Final vote on the measure was 238 to 8. The bill now goes to the senate. . Under the bill the shipping board is authorized to dispose of vessels at prevailing market prices with a time limit of 10 years for full payment. Sale to aliens is prohibited unless the vessels are not wanted by American citizens. Insurance of vessels con tinues as under the shipping board policy. Building operations are to be curtailed as soon as possible. BOOM TENDER DROWNS Body of Worker From Portland Mill Is Recovered. Robert Currey; 25 years old, boom tender at the North Portland box fac tory, was drowned in Oregon slough last night. The body was recovered and taken to Chambers' chapel. Mr. Currey was last seen about 6:15 P. M.. when he left the factory office and went out to inspect his booms. He failed to return and other employes went in search of him. They found his hat on a log boom, and it is pre sumed that he fell between the logs. The authorities learned little of the drowned man's antecedents last night. He was unmarried and lived In Ken ton.

Captain Leo V. Jenkins, assistant to Chief of Police Johnson since June 2S. 1919, was appointed chief of po lice las night by Mayor Baker, after the mayor had received a second tele gram from Dow V. Walker declining the position. The appointment was received with demonstrations of Joy at police head quarters, and, as far as members of the police bureau are concerned, io the most popular that could have been made. Petitions circulated asking the mayor to appoint Captain Jenkins to the position had been signed by nearly every policeman on the force. Chief Jenkins entered the police bu reau as a patrolman on October 5, 1908. He was made a sergeant May 1. 1912. and acting captain December 9, 1913. Four months later he was replaced in that position by Harry Circle, now captain In the inspectors' bureau. It was characteristic of the new chief that he took the demonstration with the same good humor that he had shown in his promotion. Trans ferred to the new St. Johns precinct, he showed such - diligence and effi ciency there that on December 1, 1915. he was promoted to a lieutenancy, and on May 4. 1917, was advanced to the rank of captain. On November 1, 1917, Mr. Jenkins returned to headquarters to take charge of the traffic bureau. Three months later he took charge of the second night relief at his own request, made on the ground that he preferred actual police duty to traffic work. He held that position until he was ap pointed assistant chief. Chief Jenkins was born in Kalama. Wash., February 22. 1879. He has lived in Portland 25 years. Before en tering the police bureau he was su perintendent of the Portland and United States laundries. When he came to Portland he began work as an office boy In the Union laundry, and worked also for the Troy laun dry, and .left there to take a position as superintendent of the other con cerns. , ' By -coincidence, the chiefs appoint, ment came to him on the first night he had been at home since October 15, when his son fell ill with smallpox and the house was quarantined. The family was celebrating the boy's re covery when Mayor Baker telephoned the news of the appointment. The new chief Immediately motored to headquarters, where the men on duty greeted him with handshakes and congratulations. Captains Inskeep, Circle and Harms, who chanced to be ! in the building, assured the new chief I that they were behind him in every I move. The appointment was the more 1 popular In that Jenkins had risen ' from the ranks, and Is the first chief I in years to be appointed from the ' personnel of the police bureau, j Chief Johnson, who has been chief ; of police since Mayor Baker's elec tion, tendered his resignation to ac ' cept a position with the Multnomah I Lumber & Box company last Monday, j The mayor immediately telegraphed : to Dow V. Walker, superintendent of the Multnomah Amateur Athletic club, asking him to accept the appoint ! ment. Mr. Walker, who Is at the convention of the American Legion in Minneapolis, telegraphed to the mayor Friday, declining the position. Mr. Baker telegraphed back, outlining some of his plans for building up the police bureau, and urging Mr. Walk er's acceptance as a matter of civic duty. Mr. Walker's second refusal arrived last night. It read as follows: "George L. Baker. Mayor, Portland, Or. Reference to your telegram re ceived this date. I appreciate situa tion and regret very much that cir- (Concluded on Page 22, Column 2.) BY CARTOONIST PERRY, Educator Breaks Barriers to En ter Home Isolated by River and Basket Cable Crossing.

They are sons of William Koss, who has raised his boys in silence not more than 75 miles from Seattle, near a logging town called Baldi, on the Green river. The Koss home was reached only by means of a basket cable across the river Vid visitors, according to persons living nearby, were refused admittance. A few days ago, A. S. Burrows, county superintendent of schools, took the children from their father and placed them in .an orthopedic hospital here where they are learn ing slowly to say simple words and where the simplest things prove marvels of delight to them. Doctors say the boys will acquire speech. Then they win be educated by the county. Their father has refused informa tion as to the boys' early history and his reasons for denying them education. He supported the boys by means of a truck garden and his rod and gun. INDEX OF TODAY'S NEWS The Wea titer. VV8TERDAVS-: Maximum temperature. 44 degrees; minimum, a4 degrees.

WELCH FORWARDS SAVE DAY Cougar Line Holds Fast as Goal Is Threatened. . FUMBLE STARTS TROUBLE- Break, by Stan Anderson tiives Enemy Opening Which Results -In Touchdown and Victory.- BY HARRY SI. GRAYSON. Although outplayed in most depart ments of the game, Washington State college practically eliminated the University ot Oregon as a contender for the Pacific Coast Intercollegiate conference championship on Multno mah field yesterday afternoon by beating the varsity 7 io 0. When Stan Anderson fumbled on a cross-buck after five minute of play in the third quarter luck smiled se renely on the aefenders of the crim son and gray. Nine thousand rabid football fans, the vast majority of them praying that Oregon might triumph, sat rigid until the pile of players who sprang . at the ball was pried apart. They feared that a Pullman man might have recovered it and their fear was well founded for Roy Hanley, right end for Gus Welch, had fallen on the pigskin and Oregon's back was against the wall for the first and only time during the encounter. "Break" Ilrcldra Contest. When two great football machines meet on the battlefield "the break of the game" often decides the Issue and when Herreld fell on the ball after Anderson's fumble in that third quar ter, he obtained the "break" for Gus Welch's speedy aggregation. From the 22-yard line on a series of line bucks, the Oregon line weak ening for the first and only time. Fullback Lloyd Gillis finally plunged through the right side of the lemon yellow line for the lone touchdown of a great game. Although Oregon outplayed and was outlucked by Washington Stata college, "Shy" Huntington's boys lacked the punch on two critical oc casions. Three minutes after Bill Steers had kicked off to start the classic, Oregon, following an ex change of punts, had the ball under the crimson and gray goal posts. The Willamette Valley prides put it there by marching 56j ards on a se ries of cross-bucks and delayed passes after an exchange of punts following the college's failure to gain yardage.
