WEST REPORTED CHOICE j
Governor Said to Have Rejected Inter-;
state Commerce Commission Offer, j
Portland, Or. Oswald West, gover-j
nor of Oregon, has declined an offer
of a position on tbe interstate com-
merce commission, according to a
well-authenticated report. ' j
Governor West is said to have de- j
dined the honor for personal reasons,
which were that he prefers to remain
in Oregon, and that he has no relish
for a residence in Washington, D. C, !
with tbe almost constant traveling to ,
all parts of the country entailed on a :
member of the commission. j

New York Schools to Try Movies.

cents as the price of admission are to
be given In the East Side public
schools, it was announced by the city
superintendent of schools.
STEEL INDUSTRY IN
NORMAL CONDITION
Cleveland. The steel Indutry Is re
viving to a marked extent The quiet
it experienced through November and
December appears to have been only
a breathing spell that has resulted in
renewed vigor.
Ever since January 1 scattering re
ports from iron and steel producing !
centers have been to the effect that
men who had been laid off were being
set to work, that plants running part
time had Increased to full time and
that those which had been idle were
reopening or rushing necessary re
pairs, that they might reopen to take
care of the orders being put on their
books.
Special reports from the most im
portant iron and steel districts show
that these scattering bits of informa
tion have given fair Indication of
what Is going on. Dusiness long has
looked on iron and steel as the barom
eter of trade. As it looks now It sees
the barometer rising. There Is little
to indicate boom times, but there Is
evidenced a healthy growth, a return
to normal.
In the Pittsburg district, where late
In 1913 few plants were running any
where near capacity and some ot those
usually making large products fell as
low as 10 per cent, there is a general
revival.
Moyer May Be Called Fugitive.
Houghton, Mich. Charles H. Moyer,
president, and the six other officials

eration of Miners who are under in

less they return voluntarily to the
state to stand trial.
