ORO FOR RECEIPTS. 4-
CINCINNATI. Oct. !. An-
other record went by the board
today when the national com-
mission, announced that the to- t
tal receipts for the second game
of the series, exclusive of the
war tax. amounted to $97,13.
The nearest approach to this
figure by the second game of
any previous series, was that

at Boston and tbe total receipts
amounted to SS:.2(.

CINCINNATI. Oct. 2. The Cincin
nati Reds tightened their grasp on
the series flag today by defeating
the Chicago White Sox. 4 to 2. As they
won the opener yesterday they need
but three more games to land the
series.
Cincinnati has developed in the brief
period of the series so far a habit of
celebrating the fourth. There is noth
ing patriotic about it. for In this vic
tory-mad town the "fourth means
an inning, not a holiday.
The game yesterday was safely
stowed away in the fourth and when
that inning arrived today the fans
emitted a roar in aemana lor an en
core. Jn a measure the Cincinnati bats
men responded, but the person who
really took the demand to himself
apparently waa Claude Williams, the
Sox lefthander, who was on the mound.
He passed three batsmen and three
scored. An aviator flew close to tbe
grandstand roof, but if he was look
ing for Williams, a wit in the press
stand remarked, "he. flew altogether
oo low." From where Williams floated
he 34-story insurance building looked
like a speck on the landscape.
Amotarr PasaMakea Tally.
In the sixth he passed another run-
Iner and the latter scored, out me
f tally was not needed. The first three
were enough. It was noted that all
four of the Red runs were counted by
players who had been passed to first.

WALLACE. Idaho. Oct. 2. None of

mining- district will resume opera
tions, despite the placing- of three of
them on tbe "fair" list by vote of the
district union last night, until all the
large propertlea hare been placed on
an equal basis, it was decided late to
day at a meeting of mine operators
and managers here.
The mines declared fair" by the
district union of miners, belonging to
the International Union of Mine. Mill
and Smelter Workers, are the Inter-state-Callahan,
Morning and Gold
Hunter, which before the strike em
ployed about 900 men. The Heels
Hercules and Tamarack mines were
continued on the "unfair" list. They
employed about 600 men before the
strike.
The attitude of the operators of the
fair" mines was to be considered this
afternoon. No Intimation was given
as to whether the mines would be re
opened and the men taken back.
ABERDEEN CARMEN OUT
Linemen's Demand for Closed Shop
Is Supported.
ABERDEEN-. Wash.. Oct. 2. (Spe
cial.) Dosens of for-hire cars were
turned Into Jitneys tonight, following
the strike of street-car men at 2:10
this afternoon. The strike of the
street-car men stopped all cars be
tween Aberdeen and Hoqulam and
Aberdeen and Cosmopolls. as well
tbe "local lines in Aberdeen and Ho
quiam. The strike arose over the
hiring of a non-union armature
winder and the refusal of the com
pany to replace him with a union
man. Violation of a closed-shop agree
ment was asserted by the linemen,
who went out, and were supported by
the carmen.
So far power for the operation of
industrial plants has not been inter
rupted. At a conference with the men
this morning the management of the
company declined to accede to the
demands of the men.

Alt Expresses Gratitude of, Hi
n to America First Day
, Is Passed In Quiet.
EW YORK, Oct. 2. The king and
Teen of the Belgians, with Prince
Leopold, heir apparent to the throne,
were the guests of the United States
in New York tonight. They have
come, as his majesty explained It, to
voice their gratitude and that of their
people for the generous aid given
them by this country in years of
direst need when their nation was
threatened by Germany.
Their first hours on American soil
were spent quietly at their hotel rest
lng after their voyage and celebrat
lng their 19th wedding anniversary
By their express wish their official
welcome to New York will nof begin
until noon tomorrow. At that hour
will start an arduous round of re
ceptions and sightseeing which even
tually will take them to San Francisco
and back to ' Washington, where they
will be guests at the White House.
The Belgian royalty were gien the
official freedom of the United States
by Vice-President Marshall when
they stepped ashore from the trans
port George Washington on the gov
ernment pier at Hoboken at noon to
day.
I welcome you to this republic as
king of the bravest people cince time
began," Mr. Marshall said, "but more
as a man whose conduct will be a
mighty force in steadying the world
to law and order, to friendship, faith
and freedom."
Welcome la Novelty.
Welcoming royalty to America's
shores is a novelty even to the vet
eran attaches of the state department
which arranged their reception, but
there was no slip In the arrangements
and no unseemly outbreaks of demo
cratic exuberance, although there was
no mistaking the warmth of the af
fection felt for the gallant Albert and
his consort.
The George Washington arrived off
the Fire Island lightship at 5 o'clock
yesterday. She anchored at sunset
three miles east of the Ambrose light-
hip. A fIoti.Ha of 12 destroyers es
corted the George Washington up the
bky to her pier at Hoboken. As the
ship came up the harbor salutes of 21
guns were fired from coastal fortifi
cations. In response the George
Washington broke out at her mast
head the flag of the Belgian royal
family and the national banner.
It was arranged for King Albert to
leave the vessel and proceed to the
reception room betwee.it lines of
American aoldiers at present arms
nd along a hall decorated with (he
flags of Belgium, the United , States
and the other allies in the war. Un
der a canopy of flags in the reception
room the programme called for the
formal address of welcome by the
vice-president . of the United States,
and King Alberta reply to the greet-
ng of the American nation.
The royal visitors are assigned to
occupy the suite at the Waldorf -As
toria that was reserved for General
Pershing while he was the guest of
the city. The official greeting of the
city will take place tomorrow morn-
ng.
Upon his arrival King Albert issued
he following message to the Amer-

'Once We Have Sword In Hand
Again, We Shall Help Our
selves," Is Prophecy.
. BY CYRIL BROWN.
(Copyright by the New York World. ' Pub
lished by Arrangement.)
BERLIN, Oct. 2. (Special Cable.)
General Bernhardi, the fire-eater,
utters a prophecy in the magazine.
Unser Tag. He writes:
"England, that hoped, if Germany
was beaten, to obtain commercial
world Supremacy, today sees itself
cheated out of all advantages of the
victory by America. America itself
will yet need Germany so as to be
able-to make a decisive stand against
England. France will become Eng
land's or America's slave, according-
to which side it chooses.
"I cheerfully admit that, momen
tarily, no possibility shows for Ger
many to play a role In the world
again. But misfortune marches fast.
A new political grouping of the pow
ers can give us the possibility to come
up again and once we have the sword
in hand again we shall help ourselves.
Then will come the hour of Germany's
resurrection with the union of all its
sons.
"There will be plenty of occasions
in the divergent striving of our
enemies. A common enemy neia mem
together. Victory will, all too soon,
make them enemies to one another.
and then, let us hope, we shall have
dreamed out the dream which Is still
holding a large part of our nation In
spell, the dream of a league or na
tions. which . . . safeguards all
interests and eternal peace.
'The world war was. far from
founding a lasting peace. On th
contrary, it will only initiate a long
war period. Our enemies themselves
insure this. The hate they sow can
be washed out only Jn blood."

MORE FIRMS SIGN SCALE
C. C. Ovcrmire Says Company Will
Go Out of Business Rather
'Than Agree to Loss.
Orders for a walkout at midnight
in the steel shipbuilding plant of the
G. fd. Standifer Construction corpora
tion at Vancouver were issued last
night by the Portland metal trades
council. More than 3000 men were at
work in this plant yesterday.
The wooden yard force, of the Stan
difer company, where 300 men were
employed, was called out yesterday
morning. Other plants now lying idle
are the Coast and Peninsula shipbuild
ing yards and the McDougall-Over-mire
boiler and structural steel shop
at East Water street and Hawthorne
avenue.
According to reports from union
headquarters, practically all of the
contract shops in Portland and vi
cinity have accepted the agreement
demanded by the unions, calling for
an increase of 8 cents an hour. Among
those reported as having signed up
with the unions yesterday were the
Pacific Marine Iron Works, Hesse
Martin Iron Works, Standard Boiler
Works. East Side Boiler Works, King
Brothers' plant ar.d Western Tank
Steel & Construction company.
One Holdout Expected.
Union officials are confident that
other shops, with the exception of
the McDougall-Overmire plant, can
be induced to accept the agreement
without the necessity of calling
further walkouts.
The calling out of the workmen in
the Standifer steel yard.' which has
been. In .operation for the past two
days since the strike was called In all
plants not signatory to the agree
ment, waa due to information re
ceived from the construction division
of the shipping board yesterday by R.
V. Jones, manager of the plant. The
plant had been operating since mid
night September 30 on the supposi
tion that the emergency fleet cor
poration would advance the funds
necessary to meet the increase of
wages. When it was made known to
Mr. Jones yesterday that this advance
of funds was not to be forthcoming
he entered into negotiations with the
metal trades council, which prjved
unavailing. ,
An arrangement was offered where
by the Standifer company would
settle with men for the full difference
between their wages under the Macy
scale and those under the new agree
ment, at a later date when the ship
ping board settled with the company.
If the men would continue work, re
ceiving th,eir old pay in cash and the
increase of 8 cents an hour in credit
for future payment, but this offer
was rejected by the metal trades
council.
Four Under Construction.
Four steel vessels are at present
under construction in the Standifer
steel yard. Four of these, according
to Mr. Jones, could be delivered to
the shipping board In two weeks if
work continued. These vessels, which
are within a few days of completion.
are the Waban, Wawalona, Nishmaha
and Olockson.
According to the publicity com
mittee of the metal trades council,
there is no danger of the strike
spreading to the other steel ship
building plants in this district, the
Northwest Steel and Columbia River
Shipbuilding companies.
The Northwest Steel company and
Columbia River Shipbuilding corpor
ation, operating their plants with pri
vate capital, can pay the increase in
wages out of their own profits, but
the G. M. Standifer plant Is depend
ent on the emergency fleet corpora
tion for the financing of all work
done In that plant, and no arrangement
has been found whereby the increase
n wages can be granted to the men.
Orermire States Position.
C. C. Overmire of the McDougall-
Overmire company, the only one of
the contract shops thus far holding
out against the unions, stated yester-
ay that he would go out of business
rather than pay the Increase of 8
cents an hour, which, he says, is im
possible without operating the plant
at an absolute loss.
"There is not a nickel's worth of
government work in this plant," he
said yesterday. "We are working en-
i tirely on private contracts for
I bridges and boilers. Our last work
for the -emergency fleet corporation
was delivered September 1.
"AH our contracts are obtained by
bidding in competition with produc-
i ers in the east and middle west, where
both wages and freight rates are
lower. We cannot pay the increase
demanded, and will not."
Mr. Overmire stated that he has
already sold three of his bridge con
tracts since the strike was declart 1,
and a number of his contracts for
boilers, the bridge contracts going to
the middle west and the boiler con
tracts to Seattle and Sau Fraucisqo, -
Vote on Fall Amendment Shows
Fate of Measure to Rest In
Hands of Opposition. -
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU,
Washington. Oct. 2. Reservationists
are in absolute control of the treaty
situation in the senate, the vote on
the Fall amendments showed today.
The fate of the treaty is shown to
rest in their hands. Of the 14 repub
lican votes cast on the first vote to
day 13 are reservationists of varying
degrees, while McCumber of North
Dakota exacts such harmless reserva
tions as virtually to cut him on the
president's side in the fight.
Of the democrats voting against the
Fall amendments there are six to
eight who demand reservations, most
of whom are against the treaty with
out some interpretations. The presi
dent's forces saw today when 30 votes
were rolled up In favor of textual
amendments that they must surren
der to the reservationists or see all
hope lost of saving the treaty at all.
The result was more disappointing to
them than appears, because there
were four republican votes absent
which would have brought the num
ber on the first vote up to 34, or two
more than a third of the vote of the
senate.
In the face of the constitutional re
quirement of two-thirds to ratify, this
vote killed the last faint expectation
that the treaty might be approved
without even reservations.
