PORTLAND TO BE ON
FUEL RATIONS TODAY
Sales to Consumers Having
Week's Supply Prohibited:
DRASTIC RULE ORDERED
Xiikcliliood of Hardship Here Held
Remote; Economy Is Advised
by Dealers.
Portland today will enter upon a
period of strict fuel rationing as the
result of a ruling of the railroad ad
ministration received yesterday. No
coal will be sold by retail dealers to
anyone having one week's supply or
more on hand. The ruling follows
others that have been made by the
railroad administration in the effort
to conserve the fuel supply and dis
tribute fuel where it is particularly
needed. The ruling is the most dras
tic yet received here in the present
crisis.
The new orders were received yes
terday by J- P. O'Brien, federal man
ager for this district, from R. H.
Aishton of Chicago, regional director,
in the following telegram:
"Tt has been necessary for the
northwestern regional coal committee
to make the following ruling as to
distribution of bituminous coal to re
tail dealers and by retail dealers to
consumers:
" 'In order to conserve to the ut
most the supply of bituminous coal in
cars now in possession of the govern
ment it is necessary to place further
restrictions on deliveries to retail
dealers and their deliveries to consu
mers. It Is no longer possible to re
lease to dealers particular grades
which their trade demands. Retail
dealers must refuse to make deliveries
to anyone having on hand one week's
supply. "
Steps will be immediately taken by
the local railway officials to inform
dealers of the new ruling and to se
cure the co-operation of all in dis
tributing the available coal equitably.
That Portland dealers would be able
to take care of their customers ade
quately was the declaration of fuel
men yesterday, who, however, urged
economy. That this is no time for
trying to lay in any more than an
immediate supply was the announce
ment of many.
Coal Is being received without in
terruption or restriction from a num
ber of mines in Washington, it was
reported. The Victory coal mine, near
Tono, Wash., resumed operations early
this week, according to A. H. Edlef
sen of the Kdlefsen Fuel company.
Mr. Edlefsen declared that so far
coal needs had been cared for and
that the situation in Portland is well
in hand with little likelihood of any
hardship.
is no lonjrer possible to separate the wheat
from the chaff. Unfortunately both capi
tal and labor are judged by the worst ele
ment in them. The man who sacrifices
the principles of justice in quest of the
dollar, and possibly submits to the indigni
ties of radicalism, in the hope of personal
gain, is a greater enemy to our country,
x-iety and the industry than the rankest
radu-al. while clearing the state or the
rank radical outsider, which we must do
now, we must also be equally zealous in
purging our industry of any un-American
tendencies that may be found In it.
The principles of the Loyal Legion are
100 per cent Americanism, which means
the eradication of all elements of radi
calism, a square deal to all, resting on the
fact that an equal number of American
citizens, representing the two sides of labor
and industry, will give botn a. lair ana
square deal.
iou may reel you cannot arniiate with.
our organization. There is nothing In it
to which you cannot subscribe. in any
case we ask you. as a matter of protection
to our red-blooded American cixizens wno
do belong, to subscribe to its principles and
clean out the radical element oi loreign
extraction in your employ. .
We ask you-to post a bulletin to the ef
fect that the I. W. W. and others of his
tendencies will not be tolerated either on
the job or in your country.
,A second resolution was adopted
supporting the principle of the open
shop and eight-hour day, this being
a re-statement of the position oc
cupied by the Loyal Legioa since
its inception. The re-statement is
issued because of the feeling that
the questions raired are of far
reaching effect, wider than any mat
ter Of local concern. The text of
the resolution follows:
"Whereas, the attention of the public to
the matter of open shop and the eight
hour Tlay has been called in an emphatic
manner, and
"Whereas, the Loyal Legion of Loggers
and Lumbermen has enunciated from its
Inception the principles of open shop and
the eight-hour day; therefore
Be it resolved, that we, the board of
directors of the Loyal Legion of Loggers
and Lumbermen In session in the city of
Portland, November 21, 1!19. reaffirm our
original purposes and ideals as enunciated
in our constitution and Jy-laws, which
guarantee the principles of the open shop
and the eight-hour day to the industry.
We further acknowledge the help of all
other patriotic agencies in furthering
these principles which have brought this
country to its present high state of indus
trial and political development
The board will remain in session
at least a part of todav, there being
an unusually large rurniber of vital
points passed up from the districts
and locals for its consideration.

OLD LOVE SWATS WIFE

Bigamy Charge Xot Pressed When
Spouse Xo. 2 Agrees to Abide
By Decision.
Old love proved the master yester
day when Mrs. J. M. Dicks alias Mrs.
Andrew Ryan was called upon to
choose between the husband she left
last July or the one she married in
Vancouver, Wash., under an assumed
name.
The decision was put up to the
woman by Deputy District Attorney
Deich, who preferred to settle a com
plicated marriage problem in that
way rather than call upon her to
lace a charge of bigamy.
After she had elected to leave An
drew Ryan, of the Cadillac hotel, hus
band No, 2, and return to J. M. Dicks,
1033 Glenn avenue, husband No. 1, Mi
Ryan, who is a farmer by profession,
went out to annul his marriage to
'Mable Perkins," consummated in
Vancouver on July 16, 1919.
Mr. Dicks, who is an asbestos
worker, reclaimed his wi fe of ten
years and together they happily left ,
the police station.
Desk Officer Bigelow was startled
out of his usual complacency yester
day when two men and a woman ap-
peared before him, each man claiming
the woman as his wife and demand
ing that the officer settle the con- j
troversy. Not feeling the power of ,
Solomon to handle the question,
Officer Bigelow referred the contest-
ants to Deputy District Attorney ,
Deich. !
Mr. Dicks declared he was out walk
ing when he suddenly came upon his
wife walking with Ryan.
"What are you doing with my
wife?' Dicks demanded.
"This is not your wife, she's mine,"
Ryan came back.
Ryan then produced a marriag
license to show that he had married
the woman under the name of Mable
Perkins in Vancouver.
Neither of the two men desired to
press charges of bigamy against the
woman when they took the matter up
with Deputy District Attorney Deich
and they were satisfied to let her
select between them.
Dicks told Mr. Deich that his wife
had left him last July with $30 which
he had given her to buy clothes.

he found a note saying she would re

tailed to return.

ployed is being conducted by Sheriff

of the left leg while witnessing a
demonstration of revolvers offered for
sale.
The record of petty thievery and
house-breaking is said to be growing
so alarmingly that the sheriff de
