CORONER SMITH. PORTLAND YARD WARNS GERMANY Southern Pacific Moves Only On eTrain. UNIONS CONDEMN "REBELS" Loyal Employes May Aid to Break Walkout. MEN OUT FACE DISCHARGE Reason Continues Deep Mystery. Officials and Clerks Work to Move Freight. Railroad terminals of Portland were completely tied-up late last night by the action of local switchmen in join ing the nation-wide illegal strike of their craft. Though passenger service was maintained, railroad officials ad mitted that freight movement was at a standstill. From Brooklyn yards of the South ern Pacific company but one freight train pulled out last night. It was a fast train, laden with perishable goods and company officials left their desks and served as yardmen while it was made-up for the trip south. Approximately 100 switchmen of the O.-W. R. & N. Co. and the South ern Pacific, together with switch men of the Northern Pacific Terminal company, are known to have joined the strike, which was called yester uay morning and became effective in mid-afternoon. About 150 switchmen are engaged locally, and proof of whether the strike is inclusive awaits the' action of the morning shifts. No Nlabt Shifts Work. None of the night shifts was work ing at midnight, either in the Brook lyn yards of the South Pacific, or the Albina yards of the O.-W. R. & N. company. In the yards of the North ern Pacific Terminal company a re duced force of switchmen were han dling passenger traffic alone, with no time for freight. At all terminals the switching engines, manned by en gineers and firemen, were ready for duty but idle for lack of yardmen. The striking switchmen held a sec ond meeting late last night to discuss their action in Woodmen's hall. Grand avenue jnear Ankeny street. The ses sion is said to have been extremely radical, but indicative of an under current of desire, on the part of many. to return to. work. Company officials are confident that some of the strikers will return today. Company Issues Ultimatum. By an ultimatum issued from the office of J.- H. Dyer, general manager of the Southern Pacific liiicTi, San Francisco, striking switchmen of that system have until 4 o'clock this aft ernoon to return to work. Failing to report for duty on or before that time the men will be regarded as having "terminated their employment with the company and their places will be filled." Southern Pacific officials were en deavoring last night to place a copy of this order in the hands of each of their 40 switchmen. Agents stood at the entrance to the union hall and l proferred the general manager's order f to strikers as they emerged. I The strike is wholly without sym- wi aauuiiuu, eimer among union officials or company. It has been designated as "illegal" by the Broth t erhood of Railroad Trainmen, and those participating in 'it have been ordered hack to work by the'r own union leaders. Kmployea Condemn Strike. A typical appraiscl of the strike, from union officialdom, is that issued from the office of S. Gordon, secretary-treasurer of the Federation of i- ; i - -. ir m . . i . . ,i . 1 1 .

But the Southern Pacific admits that one merchandise train and two .'extra freights are now in the yards, V w ithout a chance of moving. Freight cannot enter or leave the yards and the Northern Pacific Terminal com pany's equipment Is of no avail, as the remnant of that force is employed with passenger service. Thus rar none or the yard crews outside of Portland, at Salem, Albany, Bugene or Roseburg. have struck. (Conciuded on rage 2, Column l.) Plan Provides All Men Between 18 and 2 8 Eligible for Four "Months' Army Service. WASHINGTON", April 9. Compul sory military training was shelved to day in the senate, and after a plan for voluntary training of youths was substituted in the army reorganiza tion bill, a fight was started to elimi nate this and strip the bill of all training provisions. Final action went over until Monday. The senate voted 46 to 9 to substitute the voluntary for the compulsory method. . There was no direct vote on the compulsory plan. Its defeat was con ceded and, to provide for some method for training American youths, many advocates of compulsory training sup ported the amendment of Senator Frelinghuysen, incorporating the vol untary method. Chairman Wads worth of the military committee gafve notice that a vigorous fight will be made to retain the voluntary plan under which all youths between 18 and 2S years of age could enlist for four months' training in any year se lected by them. Upon concluding training they would enter the or ganized reserve for five years and during that period be required to par ticipate twice in annual maneuvers lasting two weeks. In substituting the voluntary for the compulsory training provisions, 22 republicans and 24 democrats sup ported the Frelinghuysen amendment. Seven republicans and fro democrats opposed the substitution. Advocates of compulsory training made a final stand. Senator Cham berlain, democrat, Oregon, declared that President Wilson had advocated the policy.'but Senator Hitchcock, Ne braska administration leader, and Senator McKeller challenged the statement. The senate vote eliminates compul sory military training from consid eration in future development of the army reorganization bill. ' The house bill has no training provisions, com pulsory or voluntary, and the en forced method, therefore, will not come before the conferees. The . roll call follows: For voluntary training: Republicans Borah. Calder, Capper, Colt, Cummins, Curtis, Dillingham, Klkins, Gronna, Hale, Jones, Wash ington; Kellogg.

Of senators absent and paired, it was announced that Senators Fre linghuysen of New Jersey, and Wat son of Indiana, republicans, favored the voluntary plan, while Senator McCormick, republican, of Illinois, opposed it. .

FEDERAL INQUIRY ORDERED Unions Refuse to Mediate With Radical Element. HELP PROMISED ROADS Freight Embargoes Declared In Some Places, but Clouds Begin to Lift on Several Lines. CHICAGO, April 9. A break in the unauthorized strike of switchmen and enginemen at Chicago where it started nine days ago, spreading to a number of cities, was announced today by A. F. Whitney, vice-president of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, who conferred with a committee of strikers from the Chicago and North western road. The delegation was said to have told 'Mr. Whitney that a vote would be taken within 24 hours with a view to ending the strike on that railroad by Saturday night. Brotherhood offi cers said that a number of strikers re turned to work today and predicted that the movement of freight in the Chicago area would be near normal by next week. Mayor Called on to Art. Another group of strikers requested the "mayor of Chicago take teps to settle the strike by addressing a mass meeting of yard employes." Leaders of the insurgents eaid the strike was not broken, but would be carried on until a new union was completed. . Reports from many rail centers in dicated that nearly 30,000 railroad men were on strike. Freight embargoes were declared in a number of cities. Breaks In the strike were reported in a few places. Switchmen and brake men on the Missouri Pacific railroad at SeMalla, Mo. .who walked out this morning, returned to work this after noon. Railroad officers in the New York area, reported that strikers were returning to the New Jersey yards where about half the workers struck. Unions Denounced Strike. Heads of the brotherhood tonight denounced the strike as purely an at tempt to disrupt the old unions. More time in which to break the strike was asketi in a letter addressed to the Western Association of Railways by the five big railroad brotherhoods. "We wish to assure the railroads with whom we have contracts that it is our purpose to support the in tegrity of these contracts by endeav oring to protect them to the fullest (Concluded on Page S. Column t 'ANOTHER 1 Award in Lieu of Work Canceled ' on Three Cargo Ships Is Fore cast in Washington. OREGON IAN XEWS BUREAU, Washington, April 9. Contracts are expected to be signed at the shipping board Monday whereby the construc tion of seven 12.000-ton, tankers will be awarded to the Northwest Steel company of Portland, Or., in lieu of war contracts for three steel cargo ships which were canceled. The tanker contracts have been un der negotiation for many weeks, the proposed new vessels being designed for the service of the Swift Sure Oil Tank Transport, Inc., of New York. No vessel is available ' for the coast guard service at the mouth of the Columbia river and the west coasts of Oregon and Washington. Rumors to the effect that contracts for the construction of oil tankers were to be substituted by the ship ping board for cargo ship contracts canceled after the signing of the armistice have been prevalent here and in Washington for several months. Beyond the admission sev eral weeks ago that such negotia tions were under way, J. R. Bowles, president. of the Northwest Steel com- pany, has consistently declined to dis cuss the matter, preferring to wait for news of the actual signing of the contracts. The reports circulated here also have it that when the tanker con tracts are awarded, the Northwest Steel and Columbia river plants are to be consolidated and the ship ways reduced in number and widened to accommodate vessels of the 12,000 deadweight ton type. If ships of this size are built here, they will be the largest ever constructed on the Wil lamette or Columbia rivers. HUNT FOR FLIER FUTILE Searchers Fail to Locate Supposed Stranded Airman.

AMERICA, IS "OBSERVER" Allied Powers Exchange Communi cations Explaining Exact Status of Invasion. BERLIN, April 9. (By the Associ ated Press.) The German govern ment has forwarded to Dr. Von Mayer, German charge d'affaires, an em phatic note, declaring that Germany will hold France responsible for all damages and casualties growing out of the occupation of the cities in which French troops have entered. PARIS, April 9. Dr. Von Mayer, the German charge vd affaires, has handed to Premier Millerand a note from the German government declar ing that Germany will hold France responsible Tor the consequences of violent incidents in Frankfort. Paul Cambon, the French ambassa dor in London, has been instructed to present to the British government the response of the French govern ment to the note sent to France by Great Britain yesterday with regard to the French invasion of the Ruhr. Baron De Gaifficr d'Restroy, Bel gian ambassador, officially notified the French government this morn ing of the decision of the Belgian government to associate itself with the measures taken by France for the military occupation of German cities. Belgian newspapers received here confirm the offer made by the Bel gian government to route its railways for "the transportation of reinforce ments into Germany if this becomes necessary. "n LONDON, April 9. Paul Cambon. the French ambassador, formally has given such explanations to Lord Cunon, the foreign minister, regard ing the policy to be pursued by France In connection with the German situa tion as to lead to the expectation that matters will be speedily smoothed over between France and Great Britain, the diplomatic correspondent of the Evening Standard states today. AMERICA STILL "OBSERVER" Possibilities of Adjustment Great, View of State -Department. WASHINGTON, April 9. America's attitude toward any adjustment of the new situation created by the entry of French troops into the Ruhr district of Germany will continue to be more that of an observer than an interested participant, from what can be learned in official circles here. While recognizing the seriousness of the situation created by the Inde pendent action by France, officials here were not inclined to regard it as "delicate," as the British foreign office indicated last night. It was regarded as one of those situations full of potential danger, but in which the probabilities of adjustment was predominant. Since the United States has no rep resentative on the Rhine commission, is not a member of the league of nations and the commander of the little American army at Coblenz will not act without direct orders from Washington, any steps taken by Great Britain or her allies to effect a more definite understanding with France must be without direct participation of the United States, it was indicated. It was assumed, however, that Am bassador Wallace would continue the part of an observer with limited ad visory powers. ITALY AVITH GREAT BRITAIN Foreign Mjnister Hopeful of Speedy Adjustment of Trouble. LONDON.' April 9. Italy's attitude respecting the French occupation of Frankfort concurs fully with that ex pressed in behalf of Great Britain in the statement issued last evening, Vittorio Scialoia. the Italian foreign minister, stated today. Signor Scialoia said there had been no diplomatic exchanges which would justify the assumption of France that her action would meet with Italy's approval. The minister declared, however. that despite the precipitancy of the French action he was sanguine of the outcome. He believed a solution would quickly come with the with draway of the German forces from the Ruhr region and the subsequent evacuation by the French of the ter ritory they have just occupied. BELGIUM SENDS 'BATTALION Detachment Ordered to Frankfort, States German Announcement. COBLENZ. April 9. (By the Asso ciated Press.) Notification was given today through the Belgian military mission here of the former participa tion of Belgium in the French action in occupying. Frankfort. Belgium is sending a detachment of troops with the French to mark Its co-operation it is announced. Only a small Belgian unit, " the strength of a battalion, will be sent, the soldiers probably going to Frankfort. Excise and Bonus, of $10 an Ounce Provided Portland Chosen as Next Meeting Place. SEATTLE, April 9. Resolutions pledging the support of the interna tional mining convention to the Mc Fadden bill now before congress, which provides for an excise of $10 an ounce on new gold used in manuac- tures and the payment of a bsnus of $10 on new mined gold, were, unani mously adopted at the closing session here today. The resolutions were pre pared and presented by Governor Em hiett D. Boyle of Nevada. Other resolutions adopted today urged the United States government to protect American miners in Mexico; asked for the repeal of excess profits and corporation taxe and asked that mining properties be placed by finan cial agenctes on the same rating as other businesses. Portland, Or., was unanimously chosen for the 1921 convention city. Frank A. Vanderlip. New York banker, principal speaker at the after noon cession, opposed the McFadden bill, declaring that such legislation could not solve the gold problem. "There is no shortage of gold in this country at present." Mr. Vanderlip said. "As a matter of fact, there Is 'too much gold at hand right now and in creased production would mean In creased inflation of credits." Governor Boyle, In defending his resolutions, said: "By charging an exise to manufac turers who use gold, a fund would be provided for payment of the bonus on production, he said. We must con tinue to produce, but to do that we must have a profit and our heresy is infringing upon the sanctity of gold, which is supposed to be used only as a basis for credits, by fnankly charg ing something for its use as a com modity, without disturbing it as a credit ba'se." Convention delegates will go to Ta coma tomorrow, where they will be guests of the chamber of commerce and visit the Tacoma smelters.

GAVEL CUTS TALK SHORT Most or War-Time Powers Would Be Repealed by Measure, Which Is Debated 12 Hours. WASHINGTON, April 9. The joint resolution declaring the estate of war with Germany at an end and repeal ing most of the wartime legislation, was adopted today by the house. 16 , now goes to the senate. The vote in passage of the peace resolution was 242 to 222, present tVo. Twenty-two democrats joined with, the republican majority in support ing the resolution and two repub. licans voted against its adoption. Substitute Is Beaten. Before adopting the resolutions, the house voted down a motion by Repre sentative Flood of Virginia, ranking democrat of the foreign affairs com mittee, to send the resolution back to that committee with Instructions to report out a substitute repealing all wartime acts. The vote on that motion was 171 for and 221 against. The debate was unusual in that it consisted largely of a symposium of prepare statements, few members speaking extemporaneously. " There was little attempt at applause from the crowded galleries. At one point today party support suddenly shifted. When Representative Kelly, repub lican, Michigan, was recognized to eppose the resolution, democratia seats were filled as the republicans were massed yesterday wnen Repre sentative Huddleston. democrat, Ala bama, declared his intention to vote for the measure. Cries of "Go on" greeted Representative Kelly, and he was accorded additional time by the democratic leaders, concluding his address with an assertion that the resolution proposed to strike hands with Germany and say: "It's all over, let's call it square." Speeekei Cat Short. "Not with my vote," he shouted as he took his seat, and a roar of cheers came from the democrats. Toward the close, of debate, both sides were reduced to speeches of a half minute's length in order to give opportunity to all who wished to get into the congressional record. The house derived much pleasure appar ently from the bang of the speaker's gavel as it cut off man after man in the middle of a rolling oratorical sentence. Ironic cheers and hand- ' clapping came from the opposing fac tion in each case. On the democratic substitute of fered as a motion to recommit, the only vote other than that on adoption of the resolution permitted under the rule, three democrats lined up with, the republicans, while two republic ans joined the minority. The greater break in the democratic ranks came on the final vote. Chairman Porter of the foreign af fairs committee claimed after the rollcall that 20 more votes would carry the resolution over a presiden tial veto. Democratic members, how ever, said a vote on that Question would see party alignment virtually Laats 12 Hears. The debate began at 11 o'clock yes terday morning and occupied all the time of the house for more than' 12 -hours. It was marked throughout by sharp partisanship except for those on each side who broke away from party lines to join the opposition. Ex-Speaker Clark and Representa tive Kitchin of North Carolina took, a leading part in the fight on the dem ocratic side, while Representative Mendell, republican leader, who closed the debate, got a warm greeting from his party colleagues. Representative KJtchin's speech aroused the demo crats to an outburst of cheering, as he assailed the republican member ship, charging them with "hypocrisy" and challenging them to present a straightout proposal for repeal of war-time legislation, if they were sin cere. At the close of his speech Kitchin suffered a collapse, resulting from what was said by his physicians to be a' slight stroke of paralysis. Representative Mondell later ex pressed the sympathy of the house with Mr. Kitchin. the members stand ing while he ppoke. Loscwerts Attacks Wilson. Representative Longworth, repub lican, Ohio, was particularly sharp in his reference today to President Wil son's attitude on the league of na tions, which ne described as an ' un American monstrosity."
