ANNOUNCED
Wilson's Anti-Strike Com
mand Not Yet Answered.
GOVERNMENT IS PREPARED
lrer-ilent Insists War-Time Agree
ment Still Holds; Miners Say
War Ended With Armistice.
WASHINGTON'. Oct. 2G. The whole
country waited -expectantly . today
for the miners' answer to President ,
Wilson's blunt command that the soft
coal strike ordered for Saturday be
called off.
' There was not a word, however, to i
show where the United Mine Workers!
ot America stood, or what the gov-
ernment would do in the event the i
president's solemn warning that the
mines must be kept :. full and con-
tinuous operation was ignored.
Considering the temper or laoor,
official Washington took the view
that while there was hope of com
pliance by the half million miners
who had been ordered out, there was
no absolute assurance that the presi
dent's letter part appeal and part
command .would bring peace to the
coal fields. But. there seemed to be
no doubt of the government's deter
mination to see that the people ob
tain an adequate coal supply to keep
them from suffering and permit the
nations vast industries to continue
operation.
Government Ready to Act.
While declining naturally to com
ment on the future course of action
should the strike take place, members
of the president's cabinet intimated
that the government would not sit
with folded hands in the face of
threatened industrial disaster.
John I.,. ' Lewis, president of the
i'nited Mine Workers of America, the
one man whose word would have
most weight with the half million
ready to walk out, was out of touch
with labor leaders here, while speed
ing homeward to take personal
charge of the strike. Lewis left
Washington last night for Spring
field, 111., proclaiming to the last that
the situation was unchanged and
that the union was still ready and
willing to negotiatte a new wage
agreement.
So far as it concerned the contro
versy between ' the miners and oper
ators, the outstanding declaration by
President Wilson was that the war
. time agreement, which the miners
contend no longer exists, still is In
full force and effect, and will stand
"during the continuance of the war,
but not beyond April 1, 19"J0."
' AVorkers Take Other View.
Looking at it in a "practical way,"
Lewis and the full scale committee
have steadfastly maintained that the
war ended with the armistice and
that the miners, for a full year, have
worked at the old wage as their vol
untary contribution to the job of
helping the country get back to
normal.
There was- a- suggestion tonight
that the cabinet might decide to send
Secretary of Labor Wilson to Indian
apolis to confer with the executive
board of the United Mine Workers of
America, which will meet there
Wednesday. Labor leaders here said
that in view of the efforts made by
the secretary to settle the strike and
in the light of the president's emphat
ic announcement that the mines had
to remain open, a personal word
spoken to members of the board might
pave the way for .peace.
Board Could Revoke Order.
The strike call was issued and
signed by executive officers of the
I'nited Mine Workers in conformity
with the authority Invested by the in
ternational convention at Cleveland
on September 23, and while President
Lewis refused today to' discuss this;
phase of the question it is held that
the men to hold the power to call the
strike likewise have the power to
call it off. Some labor officials said
the executive board could act for
the whole organization-and that Lewis
and the other executive -off leers could
hold up or withdraw the strike order
if they saw fit to do so.
James Lord, president of the mine
workers' division of the American
Federation of Labor', declined today
to comment on the situation.
It was said tonight that there would
be no announcement of the govern
ment's policy respecting operation of
tne mines until it was definitely
known whether the unions would in
sist on the strike. But there seemed
to be no doubt of the fact that ample
protection would be afforded miners
who stuck to their jobs. Inasmuch as
there was no strike vote by the men,
the belief prevails in some quarters
that not all of the thousands affected
by the order to walk out will obey.
Action Cp to Miners.
The next movement toward settle
ment of the strike. It was said, musf
come from the miners, the operators
having accepted "in its entirely"
President Wilson's proposal, made to
the joint conference Friday, that the
two sides start with a hew scale
negotiating their differences, resort
ing to arbitration only when, negotia
tions failed and keep the mines in
operation.
Officers .believe it is possible to re
open the case in view of the Lewis
statement that the miners were will
ing to negotiate a new wage agree
ment, the big bone of' contention.
"SUITABLE REPLY" PROMISED
Statement From M.ine Workers Is
Expected. Wednesday.
INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 26. A "suit
able reply" to President Wilson's
statement holding the impending coal
miners strike to be not only unjusti
fiable but unlawful, probably' will be
drawn up at the meeting of the in
ternational board of the United Mine
workers of America here Wednesday
according to a statement todav bv
William Green, secretary-treasurer of
the united Mine Workers. Mr. Green
ojeennea to comment on the presi
dent's statement further than to say
"ai J an impossioiuty to rescind
tne strike order, effective Novem
ber 1.
The meeting had already been
called for Wednesday, but considera
tion of the president's statement will
now be the most important business
before tne board, Mr. Green said.

'Governor Frank O. Lowden. "to the

ployers and employes might 'become
necessary.
The governor said the strike was
"a strike against the American peo
ple." Governor. Lowden's statement fol
lows: ' -
"The statement of the president
makes the issue plain. When: & ,spe.;
cial interest conflicts with the inter
ests of the people as a whole, the
former must give way. The strike no
doubt has been the most powerful
weapon in the hands of labor to im
prove its condition. . . So long as the
strike affected directly only the em
ployer, the public could not object.
The threatened coal strike, however,
is a strike against th American pub
lic. In fact, it is likely that the pub
lic would suffer more than the oper
ators themselves.-
"Whenever any organization,
whether of capital or labor, becomes
so powerful as to be able to give or
withhold from the public the necessi
ties of life, such organization must
come under the control of the gov
ernment. Otherwise the part becomes
greater than the whole.
"If the only alternative to a strike
or lockout by such an organization
is the compulsory arbitration of dif
ferences between employers and em-
ployes engaged in ,sucli vital under
takings, compulsory arbitration to coal miners will come up for early
that extent will have to come.. Those discussion on the pending resolution

president to the extent of it:- power,
to the end that its people shall not
suffer."
TACOMA, Wash., Oct. 26. Governor
Louis K. Hart, in a statement to the
Tacoma Ledger tonight, declared
that the full power of the state gov
ernment would be invoked if neces
sary in support of the stand of the
federal government against the. strike
of the soft coal miners called for
November 1.
"The people of this state shall not
freeze for lack of fuel this winter,"
Governor . Hart declared. "The full
power of the state government shall
be evoked to co-operate with the
federal government in its stand."
While the governor declared he had
not had full opportunity to read the
statement issued from the White
House Saturday evening, he asserted i
that the government, of this state
would stand solidly behind the fed
eral government to prevent suffering

"Come nd learn how to cut down
the night cost of living."
That is the slogan of this year'
Food show, which will bo opened to
the public in the armory on Wednes
day night by the Portland Grocers'
and Merchants' association, and some
of the details showing how this slogan
will be carried out were disclosed
yesterday by Edward A. MacLean,
secretary of the association.
Through co-operation with the Ore
gon Agricultural college and the
United States department of agricul
ture a series of lecture-demonstra
tions on home economics has been
laid out for every afternoon of the

The principal lecturer will be Miss
Lassie Lane, home demonstration
agent at large for Oregon, worktng
under the Oregon Agricultural college
and the department of agriculture,
assisted by Miss Marie Anthony, home
demonstration agent for Clackamas
county.
Miss Lane comes to this field of
labor from Kansas, where the study
of home economics has been 'active
for many years. Her experience in
the work there and her unusual suc
cess were responsible for her selec
tion for work in this state and her
lectures are expected to be full of
Interest and instruction on the latest
and best wrinkles in domestic economy
The big ballroom on the second
floor of the armory building..- apart
entirely from both the attractions
and distractions of the Food show
proper, will be used for the lecture
demonstrations, which will begin at 2
o'clock every afternoon, commencing
on Thursday, and it is expected that
they will last about two hours each
afternoon. There will be no lectures
in the evening, as the management
judged that it would be more con
venient for the housewives to attend
afternoons and also that the holiday
spirit which enters the show of even
ings is not so favorable to the very
serious purposes of these lecture
demonstrations.
Lecture Open Thursday.
Also, aj the show does not open
until. 7 P. M. on Wednesday, the first
day. the lectures do not begin until
the afternoon of Thursday, the second
day of the show. The programme, as

"pressure cooker." which is a regular
small steam boiler, both air and water
tight, equipped with safety valve, blow-off
cock, steam pressure gauge, etc. This is
a recent product of research work in
"home economics" and Is rapidly revolu
tionlzing thone branches of cooking to
which It applies. Various manufacturers
now have these '-'pressure c-ookera" on the
market, but In accordance with the estab
lished policy of the Oregon Agricultural
college and the United mates department
of agriculture, the lectures will recom

table in particular and the many new and
enticing ways that have been found for
preparing and serving them, separately
and in combination.-
Tuesday, November -4. 2 P. M., "Child
Feeding." With the better education of
people generally on the great lmDortance
of understanding food values and the ele
ments of nutrition, it .Is unnecessary to
stress the importance of this lecture to
mothers. Children being in need of more
body-building foods than grown-ups. their
development and strength to a high de
gree depend on their diet being dictated,

Hardly Able to Walk Across
Room Tanlac Ends
Rheumatism.
"I am enjoying better' health than
I have in years and I tell everybody I
talk to how thankful I am for what
Tanlac has done for me." said Mrs.
F. M. McMillen, who resides at 8a
North Second street, Portland, Or, to
a Tanlac representative a few days
ago. Continuing, she said:
"I suffered for years with stomach
trouble. Everything I ate disagreed
with me. Gaa would form and press
against my heart so that I would be
come frightened, and I bad rheuma
tism so bad 1 could scarcely get out
of bed, and when I did I could hardly
walk across the floor. My feet would
swell so badly I could not get my
shoes on. I had the headache most '
all the time and suffered with severe
pains across the small of my back. '
I was able to sleep very little, but
would lie awake night after night In
agony. I lost weight until I was
hardly more than a frame, and had
about given up all hope of ever get
ting any better. I tried everything I
heard of without getting relief, and
I was thoroughly disgusted.
"I had read In the newspapers
about the good Tanlac was doing
others, but as I had tried so many
things without getting relief, I could
not make up my mind to try It until
a friend urged me to take some, as
she said it had done her lots of good.
Well, I got some, and I, bless the day
I did, for my troubles are all over. I
have a good appetite now and I can
eat any and everything I want with
out being bothered the least bit with
indigestion. I do not suffer with gas
or bloating any more, and there is no
more pressure against my heart. My
rheumatism is all gone and my feet
have qvrit swelling and I do not have
any more pains in the small of my
back. I never have the headache now
and my nerves are in fine shape again
and I sleep simply fine. I have
gained in weight and strength and
can do a good day's work around the
house. As I had virtually given up
all hope of getting any better, after
taking Tanlac I am in such good
shape I feel like I want everybody to
know it."

and within a few days the property
will be ready for use. It Is rituated

GERMANS WANT COTTON
RAW MATERIAL SOUGHT FROM
U. S. AT ANY COST.
Textile Experts Groan at Prices,
but Agree That Products
Are Badly Xeeded.
BERLIN. (By the Associated
Press. ) -American cotton must be
bought by Germans at any cost in
the opinion of German textile ex
perts, though they groan when .they
think of the prices. These experts
estimate that American cotton will
cost in Germany, about 9 marks for
the German pound which is somewhat
heavier than the American. This
price is In part owing to the low ex
change value of the German mark
which before the war was normally
worth about 24 cents.
Some little American cotton has
been landed at Bremen, especially
since it has become possible to send
orders by wireless and thus avoid de
lay of five days or more in cabling
by the way of England. Experts say
the Americans are anxious to do busi
ness directly with Germany and to
avoid any Interference by the British,
but the German regulations limiting
bills of exchange is a serious handi
cap for it prevents the Importation
of much cotton from America through
fear or losses by exchange.
Nevertheless, the trade writers
point oot that English factories al
ready are producing cotton goods In
the occupied district of Germany and
they agree that if Germany is not
to be overwhelmed by expensive
t.ngiisn goods which thus would ob
tain an opening foothold in German
markets, Germany must have Ameri
can cotton no matter what It has
to pay.

the "first marshal of France honored
with his" presence. There has bven a
long established custom In Germany
that whenever the- emperor attended
the opera, no applause should begin
until royalty gave the Bignals. The
Germans awaited the marshal s good
pleasure before manifesting their ap
proval. Joffre did not appiaua until
the second act and the artists rendi

complete silence.
On the train returning to Paris.
Joffre summoned the newspaper cor
respondents who had accompanied
him on his tour and one of them, a
financial reporter, broached the sub
ject of the exchange. The marshal
listened gravely while the expert ex
plained to him why the dollar was
worth nine francs and the pound

Henry the First Says Henry the
Second Stole Fiancee.
NEW YORK. There was a time
when Henry F. Bronstein hoped to
make Stella Brown his wife. and.
with that purpose in mind, having
first obtained the consent of the
young woman, he arranged for an en
gagement party which was attended
by all their friends. This was in Oc
tober. 1916. In the exuberance of the
occasion Henry never thought of the
philosophy back of the coster's song,
"Never Introduce a Bloike to Your
Lady Friend." "
Therefore when Henry Schleich
korn appeared he was gladly wel
comed and urged to join in the merry
making. That sounded the death
knell of Bronsteln's aspirations for
Stella's hand and because she has be
come Mrs. Henry Schlelchkorn the
disappointed Bronstein has poured
forth his tale of woe to the supreme
court In a preach of promise action.

Bronstein wants $10,000 as heart balm
and in a second action, accusing his
one-time fiancee and her husband of
conspiracy he is uin for $11,811.
In alleging conspiracy Bronstein
complains that he pave Stella pres
ents which cost him $1811 at a time
when .he knew that the other Henry
was poinir to be her husband. H
declares that her t-how of affection
for him was all manufactured and
false, with the design of Retting more
presents. When his purse would not
allow any more she then changed her
mind about becoming his wife and
turned to the other Henry, he says.
All of this Stella denies. The break
ing of their enpapement she attrib
utes to Bronstein. who is accused of
repudiating his promise of marriage.
Furthermore, Stella says that since
Bronstein has chosen to make public
the affair she will not conceal the
fact that she considered his actions
toward her as cruel at times. Also
she said she liked a man who told the
truth. Henry Schlelchkorn concurred

sions of Pension Act.
FAIRBANKS. Alaska. Terms of
the recently enacted territorial pen
sion act have aroused the indigna
tion of pioneers of thi.s section, as
embraced in l&loo No. 4. Pioneers

the igloo especially deplores that part
of the act which provides that before
a person can be eligible for a pen

have the next legislature repeal this
section of the law.
