THE MORNING OREGON! AN, SATURDAY, DECE3IBER 5. 1914. OWNER SAYS UNION TRIES TO RUN MINE Coal Operator Tells of Dis charge of Men for Attend ing Funeral of "Scab." FINES CAUSE OBJECTION Colorado District President of Mine workers Says Companies Rule Towns and Exclude Op position Stores. DENVER, Dec. 4. "I am theoretical ly in favor of union labor; practically I have no use for it," Walter A. Cur tis, president of the Hapson Coal Com pany, an employer, of union labor, testified before th3 Federal Commis sion on Industrial Relations today. "Just now I have a controversy with the pit committee of one of my mines." If the union does not stand back of mo in disciplining the committee by discharging it, I am going; to get rid of union labor. I am going to see who is running- our mines, the pit commit tee or the company." The pit committee, he said, had de creed that' certain men who had at tended the funeral of a non-union miner at a neighboring: non-union mine should be discharged for attending: the funeral of a "scab." Arbitrary Fines Opposed. Mr. Curtis testified he signed a con tract with the United Mine Workers of America 10 years ago and then went back to non-union labor because of, arbitrary and excessive fines placed on men by the union mine committees, which, as president of the company, he was expected to collect for the union. J. F. Welborn. president of the Colo rado Fuel & Iron Company, followed Mr. Curtis In his testimony with a sta tistical review of ail the strikes in Colo rado since 1890. The total employes of the company when working to full ca pacity before the present strike, was 6000. About 40 per cent went on strike. Some left before the strike became ef fective and some Just after. In each case they were Intimidated, he alleged. Wages Increased Voluntarily. Without demands, he said, there had been three successive Increases of wages of 5 cents a ton since 1902, the last being made on April 1, 1912. The policy of the company had been to anticipate demands by increases of wages. In completing his testimony of the morning, at the beginning of the after noon session. President McLennan, of District 15. United Mine Workers of America, declared that the Mayor and officials of incorporated towns in the mining district were usually officials of the companies. None but the com pany stores were allowed In. such towns. In cases of accidental deaths the Coroner, he said, used the same Jury during his entire term. The Jury in one county had. been working 20 years. Companies Usually Exonerated. "With one or two exceptions, the verdicts they render have always ex onerated the companies from any blame," he asserted. By a system of placing men of dif ferent nationalities to work together, he said, the companies prevented dis cussion of their grievances. There were from 22 to 26 tongues spoken in each mine. "There has been no law n Southern Colorado for ten years but that of the operators and that of the mine super intendent's gun," he declared. Miners, Sot Operators, Prosecuted. The witness related that the union men had taken up the 'enforcement of the eight-hour law with Governor Shafroth, who explained that he was helpless without the aid of the civil authorities in the southern part of the state. "Since then a decision of the Supreme Court authorized the Attorney-General to prosecute in any county," he said. "Has he prosecuted?" "He has prosecuted miners, not oper ators," said McLennan. The Attorney-General was asked to prosecute mine officials at Walsenburg for assaulting a union organizer, after the District Attorney of Walsenburg, McLennan said, had said the man had no right to be there. In his testimony, Mr. Curtis told the commission, that a year ago "from ne cessity" he had signed up again with the union. The necessity was that one of the mines of the company was about to run out and he did not believe it would be worth while to engage with the other operators in a costly light with the union. Profit Krom l nl Labor Admitted. He admitted that he had onAmtMl profitably with union labor. Most of nis aimcuities came from the nit com mittee in a. mine where the degree of illiteracy was greatest. "I am going to lire that pit commit' tee and everyone connected with it," he said. In addition, although the men In the mine in question chose their own rherk- weighmen and presidents of the pit committee, none of them wanted these positions Because of the charges by other miners that they were cheating or unfair. "Don't you think the arbitrary IH. tude of the pit committeemen, who have been working ten years under nonunion conditions, is the result of intoxication by their first success in winning union conditions?" asked Commissioner Gar retson. "True," said the witness, "anrl T thinW discipline by the discharging of that pit committee would De good for them." COMMISSION MEN ACCUSED Complaints Charge Five Firms With Failure to Get License.- Five complaints wero issued yester day from District Attorney Evans' ottice charging Portland commission merchants with violation of the state law of 1913 requiring (all such houses to procure state licenses at a cost of J5 each per annum. The law also safe guards producers dealing with licensed commission men in that-they are re quired to put up a bond for fair deal tug. Those charged with laxity In failure to procure licenses are B. H. Levy. J. J. Cole. W. M. Derthick, Pearson Page Company. Frank Templeton and McEwen & Kosky. The accused firms will fight the law. It is said.

CZAR GETS FINANCIAL AID Great Britain Agrees to Arrange Pay for Supplies. LONDON, Dec. 4. Great Britain has reached an agreement with the Rua sian government whereby Russia, in consideration of a shipment of 8.000 - 000 sterling ($40,000,000) from Russia to England, will arrange with the Bank of England to discount under guarantee of the British government a iurtaer amount of 12,000,000 in Rus sian treasury bills. The rate discount will be on the basis of the rate at which Great Britain has been able to borrow for her own needs. The 8,000,000 will be aDDlied bv Russia to providing exchange for Anglo-Russian trade. The 12,000,000 will be used to pay coupons on the Russian external debts which are payable in London and for financing Russian pur chases in England, or where Great amain is unable to supply the article required and orders consequently have 10 oe piacea in Canada or the United States. Uhlans in German Army. New York Evening 'Post. In view of the fact that everv din- patch in regarn to the operations of me German cavalry speaks of them as uhlans, it is . interesting to know that there are only twenty-six regiments of unians in the entire army, whereas there are twenty-eight regiments of dragoons and twenty-one of hussars. inirteen ot mounted jagers (hunters), four of heavy riders (Schwere Rieters), eight Bavarian chevauxlegers, and ten of cuirassiers.

WHOLE COUNTRY UNCLEAN Robert Dunn Says Country Is One That 3Cak.es for Iconoclasm Re ' garding Immigration Laws. Time Moves Backward. (Continued From First Page.) following the white trail of the scourge. All along the ties and rails It lay, livid, in the tons of lime scattered there to destroy infection dropped by returning sick and wounded. Wounded Moved In Masses. Next day here and there a hospital car bore in white chalk the fateful legend. Cholera verdachtig. We may land in one of these yet. That night we moved our blankets from the stuffy carriage to sleep in the open air on one of the natcars that carried our motors. We woke in the morning to find hang ing, one on the foot of my navy cot. one on the radiator of the machine, two pairs of undergarments flung from a passing train. By 3 o'clock in the afternoon we had passed seven trains. In one I counted 27 cars, with but a single surgeon aboard. From the battlefields in this region alone there are at least three lines of rail open. Ever since the opening of the war one may have been haunted with the thought that no hu man agencies could, with justice to modern humanltarianism and science. cope with the immense masses of wounded. Here, for the first time, the truth of such a speculation hit me concretely. As the jammed cars ground westward, the great -red crosses on them, with Kranke in black letters un derneath, began to dance in tne back of my mind. Vanished, they still flew over the weeping willows of the road sides, over the high thatchings, green with moss of the peasants' log hovels. You knew that on the Russian side, with their far greater numbers, now in retreat before the victorious Aus trians. the same pitiful cargoes should be trundling eastward. Procession Seems Endless. Still they passed us. Arms were thrust 'out from bandages, holding caps, which we showered with cigar ettes. They shouted and scrambled for them. Tied to the button on each man's right shoulder was a small white tag, noting the nature and loca tion of his hurt. Occasionally at a halt some grimed and hairy fellow would step off for a moment upon th lime of the white trail, dragging after him a bandaged foot. Your one thought was: It all cannot last long it never, never can last. The while the famous Vienna caricaturist in our party, which included the several degrees from a real Hungarian nobleman to a "sob sister" from Newark, N. J., sketched us into roars of laughter. Then the Russian prisoners. Mostly they peered from tiny gratings in the tops of their wheeled prisons, the round-brimmed, - khaki - colored caps looking ironically English above their snub ' Slav noses and corn-colored beards. To my greeting in their lan guage, "Drashtite! Kak posheviate?" those crowded in the doorways around the bayonets of the guards returned the hail, and held out brass buttons from their uniforms in exchange for cigarettes. Once, in his eagerness dur ing a halt, one tumbled out, to be fiercely prodded back Into the ;oop. Cigarettes and Matches Gone. The shift into the motors was at some tongue-twisting village. In the sunless and bluish Galician haze we headed for Sanok, among the quilted cabbage and vivid green Winter rye fields, . along the stucco roadside shrines. The town, held for three weeks by the Russians, showed no more sign of it than one heavy cornice, in the usual pale stuco style of Poland, split by a shell, two bullet holes in the etappencommando's window, und that utter dearth of cigarettes and matches which is the unvarying mark of every captured town in Europe. But Sanok was not otherwise conventional, ex cept for Galicia. When I say that, de spite its horde ,of soldiery, its thrifty Jews, in their curled peikas and black coats, it is filthier than the meanest Chinese village and without China's lamp-lit gayety no careless superla tive is meant. There was more mud on the sidewalks than In the roadways. Most travelers have put up with foul sanitation, but Sanok, where we spent the night, had absolutely none. Our inn had only an open yard behind, but the proprietor's wife wore an elegant wig and had her face powdered. So, "incidentally, if Auotria has mver been able to clean Galicia the sequence is obvious. But perhaps one is un.iust, and the filth 'was made by the Rus sians, though it is the same in Neu Sandeo, and here is where they have never been. The point is that no at tempt is made to clean anything any' where. A sanitary service, in our army's sense, appears not to exist. Vera Cruz, before we started to scour it, was a spotles town compared with any in Galicia. Sometimes one wonders why cholera haunts Eastern Europe. Naturalised Americans Anxious to Leave Thus the next morning It .was hard to show sympathy with my two natur alized fellow citizens who tackled me on the eternal question of how to get back to America. They had their fare and their papers, but neither the ini tiatlve to start, nor even to write to our Embassy in Vienna to the serv ants they employed for the very pur pose of helping them. Stated so, they gaped at the fact. Neither had ever been west of the Hudson or north of Fourteenth street. They were of that mass of 'Americans whose money orders support those Galician villages and half Southern Italy. One was a little woman in black with a sharp chin and gold teeth of a Grand-street hallmark: the man wore a "sealskin coat of the same locality,, and greeted me over the top of a fence on the main street, behind which he was making such a toilet as one can in Galicia. Decidedly it is a country with a peo pie which makes you an iconoclast re garding our immigration laws. This mine for the melting-pot and after the war probably we shall be deluged with its product fills one at once with understandings for the ideal yearnings expressed by a Mary An tin, and at the same time makes you cynical toward the pathetic realism of -Slav literature. It omits the essence of life here its filth and stench. We followed the route of the Rus sian retreat. By 10 o clock we had overtaken and passed three trains of supply wagons headed for the front. in all 469 vehicles by count, and not one motor truck. You were in a dif ferent world, a different age. from those of the war in France. Long and narrow, on small wheels, with in-slop ing sides of woven willow withes,- the soiled hooded coverings of these carts first raised the aforesaid mirage of, our Civil war. From every hilltop a train wound mm knickers at $6.50, $7.50, $8.50, $10 and $12.50. There's not a boy in Portland who doesn't want an Over coat or Balmacaan made like father's.

Abreast of it, with the heap of hay high , from each tailboard; the vacant peasant faces under their round sheep wool caps stole cowed and wondering stares at you, as . they urged on the bony horses to the creak of countless little wheels in the glut of mud. You felt the amazing, searching force of organization that war demands; ability in administration against grim, far- flung odds, beside which the most com plex commercial enterprises must be child's play. No. It could never, never last, what of the wives, daughters. mothers, of those sturdy drivers? Bare foot in the sodden fields they hoed over the muck for potatoes no bigger than walnuts. O, for one good Winter bliz zard in this grim land! The Spring planting, the war, for the moment as sumed an equal precarlousness. Where these great ..outfits had camped, or still were parked in serried ranks, suggested, but on an enormous scale, the Klondike trek in 1898. Fires twinkled among the heaps of fodder; gray, straggling privates boiled soup in their aluminum pots. There were parks of artillery caissons, wagons also heaped with hay; at a railroad station where we crossed the line, mountains of shrapnel and machine-gun ammuni tion; a field bakery of a dozen oblong, low mud-ovens, belching smoke from stovepipes. At one crossroads, where plainly a stand in the retreat was made, an artillery cover of pine branches stuck in the hillside, dismembered wheels prone in the mud before it, a wrecked mass of wagons yes, some marked with red crosses behind. Search for Bodies Goes Ob. But the smaller trains returning down the road bore the grimmest flavor. In most sat mute beings with bandaged beads, or grasping their canteen with the arm not cased in a sling or splint. In a few, gray blankets outlined hidden shapes from which you turned your eyes, because they did not brace against tne jolting. still riding across the fields, emerging or vanishing along the lines or wooas, lone horsemen kept up the search which the instinct of all flesh to hide in its final hour makes necessary. On the long hill of switchbacks, lead ing to the divide I mentioned, nieces of lint and bandages were scattered 1 Boys' School Suits with extra knickers, made to withstand every test that a resourceful boy and his ally give themstrong cheviots and cassi meres, nicely tailored in full Norfolk styles with attached belts.

Everywhere were empty ghoulash cans, ghoulash nat urally being ration in this army quite as seriously as is tea for the Briton; and, maybe, too, it has paprika trans ports. On the height of land, marked by a cross, we met the only motor of the day, and it was hitched to and being dragged by a team of horses. Down the other side, the road was be ing graded, and that by women, mind you, barefoot, with their scanty skirts hitched above the knees and hooded heads bent low on the long shovels. Pnemysi Reached at Last. One had to pause and convince him self of the calendar year. For be side such a triumph of feminism as that last, the next instant you were jerked back a century or so. A beg gar, in his garb, tumbled straight out of medieval allegory, sat waving on high a gleaming brass crucifix. Under the stone arch of a roadside shrine knelt a gray infantryman, with bowed head and rifle leaned against the robe of Christ. And on the doors of the Ruthenians cabins the Little Rus sians were whitewashed holy crosses, as a token to their Invading brothers, modern angels of death, to pass them by in peace. War, yon wondered, war again in the old blood-stained arena of ail the races of Europe. And this was but the spoor and fringe of it. Shall any one ever see the gasp and seethe of it, who has the eyes and heart to tell the truth? It was thus we descended through the darkness, until the lamps of Przemysl looped upward in even lines from that river-bed where 70.000 men have. Just fallen within their shadows. Fortress Seems Impregnable. At the present writing, it is hard to believe that the Russians will take it. They have not powerful enough artil lery. The Austrian is taught that Przemysl and Belfort are the two first fortresses of Europe. Still, as the world knows, the first lesson of this war has been the answer to, "What is a for tress?" Just march around It. Liege, Namur, Maubeuge, an army may march around, but not here, through the mud and forests of Galicia. One judges as much from facts ob tainable, and by the seeming atmo sphere and spirit of the Inhabitants and garrison. But you hear no boasts; The Last Day Today!
