)Jnion Executives Comply
With U. S, Mandate.
T
Good Faith Effort Conceded
by Judge Anderson Miners
Then Issue Statement.
OPERATORS MUST ACT NOW
Union Contends That Real
Negotiations for Settle
ment Next in Order.
INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 11. Judge
A. B. Anderson, in federal court at
10 o'clock this morning, approved the
order of the executive board of the
United Mine Workers of America,
calling off the strike of bituminous
coal miners.
Attorneys for the miners promised
to try to have the order in the
mails by 6 o'clock this evening. This
action was taken following a session
of the general committee of the
miners, which decided early today to
comply with the mandate of the
court issued last Saturday.
Later in the day officials of the
mineworkers' union and representa
tives of the mine operators accepted
the invitation of Secretary of Labor
Wilson for a conference in Washing
ton for adjustment of the differences
that led to the miners' walk-out.
Good .Faith Conceded.
Judge Anderson characterized the
order as a "good faith effort" to J
comply with his mandate. The text
of the order follows:
"Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 11, 1919
To the officials and members of the
United Mine Workers of America:
Dear Sirs and Brothers: In obedience
to the mandate issued on November
8 by the United States court, district
of Indiana, Judge A. B. Anderson,
presiding, the undersigned hereby
advise you that the order of October
15 directing a cessation of operations
in the bituminous coal fields of your
jurisdiction, is withdrawn and can
celed. "Yours fraternally,
"WILLIAM GREEN,
Secretary-Treasurer.
"JOHN L. LEWIS,
President."
Miners Issue Statement.
The order to rescind ' was pre
sented to the court by Henry War
rum, Indianapolis, attorney for the
miners. After the court proceedings,
Mr. Warrum, G. L. Grant, Fort
Smith, Ark., and F. C. Huebner,
Albia, la., associate counsel, then is
sued a statement in the presence of
the government attorneys, in which
Nthe position of the mine workers was
stated.
The statement of the attorneys
follows:
"The operators have repeatedly
declared that they were ready to
enter into negotiations with the
miners if the strike order were with
drawn. The government has taken
the position that in the vindication
of its own supremacy the strike or
. der must be withdrawn before it
would take any steps to compel the
resumption of such negotiations. The
issue has been submitted to the court
and in compliance with the court's
ruling the strike order has been can
celed and withdrawn.
Others Must Act Now.
"It seems to us that good faith on
the part of the operators requires
them to meet the miners' represen
tatives at once for the purpose of
negotiating a settlement of this wage
controversy and that good faith on
the part of the government requires
it to see that such a resumption of
negotiations is had at once and con
cluded without delay."
John L. Lewis, acting president of
the mine workers, said after the
union's order had been approved by
the court that he had nothing to add
to his statement made at the close
of the miners' conference early this
morning. He said that no supple
mental statement to the membership
of the organization was contem
plated at this time.
Although delegates to the meet
ing of the miners apparently were

Indianapolis Gets National Head
quarters Next Convention
Goes to Cleveland.
. MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 11. The hot
test flgrht of the first American Le
gion in session here was, precipitated
late today by the raising of the ques
tion whether the legion shall be kept
out of politics. The convention voted
to amend its constitution to make the
organization "non-political" and bar
candidates tor -public office from
holding office in the legion.
A minority report permitting polit
ical, officers to be oUfcers of the
legion was defeated Tby an over
whelming viva voce vote, but the
rollcall vote on adoption of the "non
political" resolution showed a ma
jority of about 100 of the 681 votes.
A certificate from the French gov
ernment for the family of each sol
dier killed in France was presented
to the convention.
Indorsement of universal military
training with a small standing army
and no compulsory military service in
time of peace was voted enthusias-.
tically tonight by the legion conven
tion. It was recommended that the
i.ational citizen army be under local
control and administration, subject
to general national regulations.
Deportation of "Victor Berger, re
cently denied a. seat in congress, and
unseating of Representative Voight
of Wisconsin, who cast the only vote
in Berber's favor, was recommended
to the American Legion convention
late today and was received with tre
mendous cheering. On metion of the
entire Wisconsin delegation the reso
lution demanding cancellation of
Berger's citizenship was unanimously
adopted.
Indianapolis was chosen today for
permanent national headquarters of
the American Legion, defeating
Washington, D. C, on the second
ballot.
Cleveland was chosen for the next
convention of the American Legion
over San Francisco.
The delegates stood silent for a
moment at 11 A. M., marking the first
anniversary of the hour when firing
ceased in the war. Chairman Linda
ley asked that the delegates bow
their heads in prayer for their com-
rades who gave their lives during the
war.
The legion observed armistice day
by a parade which ended with presen
tation of decorations to members of
tlie 151st field artillery, a regiment
composed largely of Twin City men.
The committee on convention or
ganization recommended Houston
Niles of Colorado as chaplain, Alex
ander II. Johnson of Rhode Island as
sergeant at arms, and the appoint
ment of an executive committee in
cluding a representative from each
state. This report was adopted upon
motion of Colonel Milton J. Fore
man of Illinois.
Greetings from General John J.
Pershing were read to the conven
tion by Chairman Lindsley.
Lindsley at that time announced he
was not a candidate for national head
of the American Legion.

JOYOUS DIN WAKES PORTLAND
Celebrants in Impromptu Pa
rades Cheered on Way.
RED -CROSS MAKES DRIVE
Service Men Entertained at Dances,
Dinners and Other Celebra
tions During Evening.
A single year can be crowded with
experiences until they dribble out,
like grain from a crammed Back so
tightly packed by the press of events
that there is little space left for the
memory of matters that were epochal
just a twelve-month before. But Port
land gave answer yesterday to the
question of whether her folks have
forgotten the day on which victory
was written for the allies and black
defeat for the Hun. The city remem
bers. Armistice day in Portland woke to
the blend of bells and whistles, an
echo of that other morning when
neighbor called to neighbor and all
scarcely could believe that war was
at an end, and that the toll of battle
had taken its last lad as an offering
to the strife which flamed over Eu
rope for four long years.
Portland ia Jubilant.
Portland was jubilant yesterday. In
the celebration of the first anniver
sary of the armistice not with the
spontaneous joy. perhaps, that marked
the original day when the news
flashed into anxious homes and filled
the streets with riotous celebrants,
but with an enthusiasm that was gen
uine, and that , testifies to the public
memory and gratitude. ,
Last night cowbells, klaxons and
confetti the forbidden lent a festal
tone to the Armistice day revel on
Portland streets. Gray-haired ma
trons and pig-tailed school girls i
mingled with soldiers and sailors and
civilians as the first anniversary of
the biggest day in years was cele
brated as only Americans can cele
brate.
During the. war period, when patri
otic events thrust parades through
the downtown streets, the walks were
long lanes of loyalists. And yester
day was like to these in th thou
sands of citizens, out on holiday, that
banked the pavements as the pageant
of veterans tramped by in review,
that doffed their hats to the scores
of standards, and that sent wave after
wave of cheering to the men who
know what Flanders mud is, the hue
of poppies and blood, the glare of a
star shell, the crash of high explosive
and the spiteful zip of machine gun
pellets seeking to slay.
Kmotion Tu(a at Heart Strinigm.
Cheers art but the outward ex
pressions of what lies hid in the
heart, ineffectual translations, at
best. And those who watched the
lines in their progress, v.-io saw the
cars laden with youthful veterans
who might not parade and whose
attendant crutches gave the cue

It is not the intention of the city
council to launch into any expensive
programme but the Issue arose when
the council found a $560,000 deficit,
which could Be overcome in but two
ways. .
Curtailment Faced.
One measure , would be the curtail
ment and cutting down of the present
servtie, which would mean a reduc
tion in the fire and police forces, cut
ting down in all activities and post
poning a large street and sewer im
provement, which has been petitioned
for and will be paf for by property
owners benefited. The city is obliged
by law to pay the cost of engineering
and supervision of the work, and
without the additional funds, this
work cannot be accomplished.
Because of the hex of funds the
city council has been powerless to
conduct an expensive campaign, but
in order to place the facts before
the people issued a general invita
tion to organizations and individuals
to visit the city hall and examine
the books of the city and thus learn
the real situation. This invitation
has been accepted . generally and
numerous- committees have spen
hours in delving into the financial
condition of the city.

OF COURSE SAMMY WOULDN'T
Speakers -Accused of Attempt to
Denounce Legion 1. V. W.
Pamphlets Seized.
Reports that speakers in the Coun
cil of Workmen. Soldiers and Sailors
were denouncing the American Legion
and spreading reports that the legion
had been responsible for the shooting
at Centralia, Wash., yesterday caused
Mayor Baker to order a raid on the
headquarters of the council at 128 Vi
Second street last night, with the re
sult that' S3 men attending a lecture
the hall were arrested on charges
of vagrancy.
Among the prisoners were Floyd
Hyde, Joe Clark and Joseph Laundy,
11 prominent radical labor leaders.
One woman in the audience was per
mitted to leave the hall and go home
Mayor Baker announced after the raid
that he favored establishment of a
municipal rockpile on which the pris
oners could be put to work if they
were convicted.
Policemen Held In Reserve.
As soon as reports of the Centralia
trouble arrived in Portland late yes
terday. Chief of Police Jenkins sum
raoned all available policemen to head
quarters to be held in reserve. Spies
sent to the meeting of the council
reported that the speeches were of an
incendiary character, and the chief
immediately dispatched a strong squad
to the "wobbly" hall under command
of Captain Lewis, Lieutenant Thatcher
and Sergeant Ervin.
In plain clothes, the police straggled
up the stairway to the door of the
hall, and gathered outside. They
opened the door and entered without
attracting much attention. As soon
as the patrolmen were scattered
through the audience in such forma
tion as would enable them to squelch
quickly an incipient outbreak. Cap
tain Lewis walked to the speaker's
platform and told the speaker that
ine cniei or ponce wanted to see
everyone present.
Captive Taken Without Fight.
The speaker announced the message
to the audience, and the plain clothes
men gathered themselves for a strug
gle. But there was no disorder. The
prisoners were herded from the roon
under guard. A few policemen re
mained to search the premises for
propaganda. The police seized large
quantities of I. W. W. literature, in
tlammatory pamphlets and posters
Everything was taken to headquar
ters and held as evidence.
The prisoners were held in the p6
lice assembly room until Mayor Baker,
Chief Jenkins, Captain Inskeep and
William Bryon, special agent of the
department of justice, had interviewed
the leaders. Mr. Bryon expressed an
opinion that, regardless of evidence
It was the duty of the police to hold
radicals for their own safety until th
excitement caused by the Centralia
trouble had died down.
Finally all the prisoners were
marched up to the city Jail. Fifty of
them were transferred to the county
jail later because there was not
enough room in the city bastile.
Hall May Be Closed.
What purported to be a copy of a
letter given the Council of Workmen,
Soldiers and Sailors by F. Knecht,
owner of the hall where the council
has established its headquarters, was
among papers seized by the police.
The alleged copjy follows: "This is to
certify that I, F. Knecht, owner of
hall at 128 Second street, permit
the Council of Workmen, Soldiers and
Sailors to rent desk room to any one
during the term of their lease."
Since the council was evicted from
its old headquarters in Arion hall un
der the terms of the syndicalism act.

BY JOHN CONDON.
CENTRALIA, Wash., Nov. 11.
(Special.) Four American Leg-ion
men are dead, three are wounded,
one perhaps fatally; Britt Smith,
secretary of the Centralia local of
the I. W. V.t is hanging dead from
the bridge over the Chehalis river,
and the I. W. W. hall is gutted, as
the result of an I. W. W. attack on
an Armistice day parade conducted
by the American Legion in this city
today.
Five hours after the volleys were
fired from the I. W. W. headquar
ters and adjoining buildings, a mob
cut off the lights of the city, broke
the j'ail door, snatched Smith from
the jail and rushed him in an auto
mobile through mud and water to
the bridge three-quarters of a mile
from town. The I. W. W. hall was
fired by the mob. The dead:
Warren Grimm, attorney, lieu
tenant with the American forces in
Siberia and commander of the
Grant Hodge post, American
Legion.
Arthur .UcL.llre.sh, soldier in
France for 18 months.
Ben Casagranda, Greek boot
black, and soldier with the 91st divi
sion in all campaigns.
Dale Hubbard, former soldier.
Britt Smith, hanged by the mob.
The wounded:
Emory Coleman, shot through the
leg, wound not serious.
John Earl Watt, ex-service man,
perhaps fatally wounded.
Eugene Phitzer, Chehalis, ex-serv-
i ice man, not serious.
Shots Come Suddenly.
J The Armistice day parade passed
in France with the 161st infantry,
the Washington regiment. As the
J head of the line rounded Tower ave
nue they marked time, awaiting the
rear of the line to catch up. Fully
100 men were in line in platoon for
mation. The last end of the line
had just turned on Tower avenue
when the desultory fire opened.
McElfresh fell first, shot through
the head. Grimm dropped an in
stant later and Casagranda put his
hand to his stomach and groaned as'
another spiteful shot rang out.
Grimm Dies Quickly.
"Are you hit, Warren?" asked
William Scales, who was standing
behind Grimm. ,
"I don't think so," replied the
wounded man as he started toward
an automobile across the street. As
he reached the edge of the car he
groaned. He was put in the car and
started for the hospital, but died
before he reached there.
The, crowd was not appalled by
the shooting. but started im
mediately for the 1. W. W.s, who
were scatterinff from the different
exits of the building. Smith started
out of the rear of the building, work
ing an automatic which had jammed.
He started on a run through a yard
with a crowd following.
Smith Fires Constantly.
Coleman was among those fai the
lead. Smith was firing all ttte time,
his gun working perfectly by this
time. He appeared to have plenty
of ammuntion. Coleman dropped
with a shot through the leg and the
crowd followed. The fleeing I. W. W.
secretary was chased to the Skook
umchuck river, where he leaped
