GOVERNMENT PLACES
EXPORT EMBARGO ON
ALL BITUMINOUS MI TABLE SESSION
Federal Officials Move to Pre
vent Domestic Shortage
Following Strike
The government today decided to place an embargo on
exportation of bituminous coal as a measure of conserva
tion. The next conservation move, should further steps be
necessary as a result of the coal strike, is expected to be
invocation of the priority plan. This would first affect
non-essential industries through denial of a full fuel sup
ply to them.
Plana were going forward in Wash
ington to include the coal strike in
questions to be taken up by the new
industrial conference suggested by
President Wilson to which most labor
organizations have already given ap
proval. Union officials generally claimed to
day that he strike was "100 per cent
effective." ' . .
Reports from important districts,
according to the miners' leaders show
ed no decrease from the number of
men out Saturday, the first day of the
strike. The operators had counted on
a large number returning today, be
lieving many who failed to report Sat
urday were observing religious holiday,
rather than striking. Most of the op
erators, however, refused to make any
estimate today on the number of strik
ers in their respective district.
Claim 400,000 Men Out.
A sharp alignment appeared to be
drawn betwen union and non-union
miners and indications were that de
spite union officials claims, practically
all non-union men were at work. On
this basis, . the number of strikers
would be close to 400,000.
Government officials continued to
watch sarply for any radical tendencies
. on the part of the Btrikers, but no dis
orders were reported. - . j
Court Action Fought, : 1
Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 3. Leaders
of tsriking coal miners today concen
trated their efforts on fighting tho
legal battle, started by the govern
ment to interfere with the strike.
Attorneys, from the great bituminous
coal producing states, retained by dis
trict miners' organizations, were in
conference with Hffhry Warrum,,chief
counsel for the miners. They spent
the day making a thorough analysis of
the restraining order issued by Judge
A. B. Anderson, preventing union lead
ers from directing the strike.
Two plans of procedure were dis
cussed.. Two Plans Discussed,
First Taking the offensive by fil
ing a petition in the United States dis
trict court asking that the federal re
straining order be dissolved.
Second Remaining on the defensive
and awaiting the hearing on the peti
tion by the government for a tempo
rary injunction, scheduled for next
Saturday.
. Attorney Wamim stated, after the
conference, that nothing would be filed
in federal court until the latter part
the week, indicating the latter course
as the one decided upon.

"law and order" candidate his sup
porters using his record in fighting
Boston's police strike a main point for
his election. He is being fought by
the central labor union of Boston.
Poltical leaders say a victory for
Coolidge would mean he would become
a potiential figure in republican affairs
in the next presidential elections.
Next in importance to the Massachu
setts election is that in New Jersey
where Edward I. Edwards, democratic
candidate is running against Newton

the entire Pacific coast are expected
to bombard coast members of con

bill which would extend Jurisdiction
of the interstate commerce commis

"" Hundreds of -San Francisco ship
ping men are said to have wired or.
written to California congressmen

that if it becomes a law, the provis

The chamber of commerce in a
statement declares that to subject
shipping to "delaying and hindering
rules of procedure of the I. C. C.
would so slow up and handicap operr
alions and give such an advantage to
freelance tramp steamers that the
owners of regular line vessels could
have no hope of successfully compet

ON UNEMPLOYMENT
IS
Washington, Nov. S (United Press)
Appointment of a commission made
up of fifteen representatives from as
many countries to make a world wide
probe of the unemployment question
was advocated here today by the inter
national labor conference.
The suggestion was made by Vis
count DeEza, head of the Spanish del
egation in a speech on the resoluno
providing for appointment of a com
mission to consider prevention of un
employment. "The question of unemployment,"
from the economic, social and legal
points of-view, should be thoroughly
examined," said DeEza, "and the In
vestigation should be wide, searching
and exhaustive. Plenty of time should
be given and the question gone into in
all countries."
No action was taken on the sugges
tion. It will be considered when the
commission provided for in the pend
ing resolution is appointed.
The German delegation, which was
expected to arrive this morning, will
probably get here tomorrow. The con
ference, therefore, adjourned after a
brief session this morning until 2:30
this afternoon.
The Brazilian and Argentian dele
gates are expected about the middle of
the week.

campaign a success. Lust year Marion

PRESIDENT MAY
IMP ROUND
Calling Of New Industrial Con
ference Being Considered
Following Railway Brother
hood's Proposal
Washington, Nov. 3 HUnited Press)
3-i
Calling of a new: industrial confer
ence was under consideration by Pres
ident Wilson and other government of- j
ficlals today, following the proposals
of the Brotherhood of Locomotive En
gineers that . "an industrial commis
sion" bet set up in Washington to set
tle capltal-and labo disputes.
; Wilson ' and other officers of the
government, it was understood, hold
the opinion that an industrial code
must be drawn up and subscribed to by
the workers and employers, else man
serious strikes will come in the trail of
the steel and coal walkouts .and with
no liaison between labor and the cap
italists, the situation will become stead
ily acute and interference with produc
tion more widespread;
Fresh Start Sought.
Since the original industrial confer
ence dissolved after having split on
the question of collective bargaining,
the president has been considering
calling another, to make a fresh start.
His list of delegates, it was learned,
is partly made up. The proposal of
the railway gives him the opportunity
to act. .
The suggestion of the locomotive en
gineers was:
"As a remedy for the present tur
bulent conditions we suggest that im
mediate steps be taken to assemble at
Washington an industrial commission
that will recognize the rights of all
citizens and is not pledged to oppose
collective bargaining, as this is a time
for deliberate action oft .the part of all
concerned in a peaceful solution of the
present conditions."
Coal Strike First, '
While such an organization's prime
object woud be the drafting of an
Industrial code acceptable to both sides
government officials believe that one
of the first concrete problems to be
put before it will be the settlement of
the coal strike.
It was learned that In proposing the
new conference the railway men had
in mind their own demands, which are
at present before Rail Director Hines.
His reply will be submitted to the rail
way unions membership, for a strike
vote.

BUSINESS MEN TO INSIST
ON KEEPING EXTR A COPS
Any action that the city council
may take tonight at its meeting to re
tard the growth of the police depart
ment will be fought by the business
men of the city. This was obvious to
day at noon when 35 business men
gathered at the regular weekly lunch
aon at the Commercial club and vot
ed to send a delegation to the eounVI
tonight for tho purpose of blocking
any attempt of the' council to revoke
the recent appointment of two new
policemen. Business men representing
industrial plants of the city were ap
pointed In the body.
It was made plain at the meeting
that the Business Men's league will
have no part In the alleged movement
to recall Mayor Wilson. Their only in
terest In the affair, It was Indicated,
is to see to It that the city gets prop
er police and otner protection.
Debate on the question of sending
a delegation to the council tonight be
came quite heated when Thomas B.
Kay cautioned care on the part of
the business men in taking up the po
lice question.
"Before you go up tlrere with a
chip on your shoulder to make the
council do this and that you'd better
consider he fact that there are other
piople here besides the business men.
Are you considerate of what the tax
payers want in this matter?"
Kay attacked the . "sentimental
judges" and "sentimental charity
workers" for the advent of so much
crime in the state, when he spoke in
reply to a statement made by Wulter
Denton that the police1-were request
ed to cope with a crime wave expect

ing he was "too belligerent," and ad

New York. Nov. 3. Samuel

said here today that he will

of the strike of the coal min-
ers." He refused to stats
whether he had already taken
I steps to help end the strike or
to discuss his plans. . $
vised that he "go careful", in "civic
matters."
Denton had charged the opposition
to the police force enlargement to
"petty personalities," and said that he
regretted that they should stand In
the way of the desires of the busi
ness men of the city. He said:
"If the business men want this sort
of action It is high time that they
place the reigns into the hands of
those who do business in petty per
sonalities. I'll step down and out af
ter I have accomplished what I be
lieve is right 'for Salem."
Denton frequently has been asso
ciated with movements for the better
ment of Salem.
Several business men made short
talks on -phases of their factories,
stores and businesses.
During the debate on sending the
delegation to the council William
Hamilton, district manager for the P.
It. L. & P. company, said that it "is
a shame that Salem business men take
so little interest in the affairs of the
city council." He advised every man

council "that they might get first
