Epistle Indited to Central Power
Following San .Remo Confer
ence Delights Paris Papers.
(Copyrleht by the New fork World. Pub
lished by Arrangement.)
PARIS, May 2. (Special Cable.)
The greatest satisfaction is expressed
by the French press with the results
of the San Remo conference. The
final rally of Great. Britain to the
French viewpoint is considered here
to mean a victory for Premier Mil
lerand's and the French delegates'
policy In regard to Germany. The
slight reservations made by Premier
Nltti are overlooked and only the
bare fact of allied unity is commented
upon.
The forceful expression of the note
to Germany is also a source of pleas
ure to the French editorialists who
point out that Germany now has the
opportunity so long asked for to show
whether she really means to carry
out the treaty engagements and
whether the allies will be justified
hereafter in helping the Germans eco
nomically. Incompleteness la Regretted.
There is slight regret that no com
plete arrangement was made at San
Remo concerning the German indem
nity, which this country so badly
needs, although pending the Spa and
Brussels conferences, no comment is
made on the subject. The outstand
ing point in the note, according to
French journalists, is -the complete
accord among the allies to take fur
ther roprrivi! measures against Ger
many should occasion arise. But
Parisian newspapers say mat now 10
the time for the allies to act and
make .the note binding.
"'Until now we have lost too much
time," says Le Figaro. "Now that we
have the formal promises of England
and the other allies to support us,
and because we were the first inter
ested, we have the right and duty to
turn into a concrete form the note ad
dressed to Germany."
: France Is "Justified."
Le Goulois remarks that the note
constitutes a justification of France"s
attitude toward Germany in the fae
of continual violations of the treaty.
Attacks on the British premier, which
have been numerous before and dur
ing the San Remo conference, have
suddenly ceased, and today the French
press pays a tribute to the English
statesman.
"San Remo," says the Paris Midi,
"has shown to Lloyd George that
France had no annexationist policy
for the Rhineland and that Premier
Millerand is not guided by party poll
tics or personal selfishness." This
newspaper further remarks it is quite
willing to forgive and forget the dif
ference of opinion between Premier
Lloyd George and Premier Millerand.
Le Matin, which publishes a two
column portrait of Premier Millerand
says "April 26 will remain a memor
able date if acts tally with words.
and we have no reason to doubt
otherwise. Premier Millerand will
have shown to M. Clemenceau that
the only way of collaborating with
England is to act firmly and discuss
loyally and not give in so easily."
"Patience Has I.lmttn."
Saint-Brice in Le Journal can find
only good qualities in the note. "Ber
lin," he says, "will learn that allied
patience, so imprudently exploited by
the German government, has limits.
Germany will now have the chance of
showing how she can amend. Other
passages of the note will have the
effect of showing the strength of the
allied bloc, which should reveal itself
not only in words, but in acts."
Pertinax, who, in writing from San
Remo to his journal, L'Echo de Paris,
had shown himself the bitterest critic
of Premier Lloyd George, today in
dulges in taking a rap at Premier
Nitti, eulogizing Lloyd George for his
sudden change of opinion. "The most
Important part of the note is that
which deals with the military meas
ures to be applied to Germany in
case she should further violate the
treaty stipulations," says Pertinax.
He adds: "Marshal Foch and General
Wilson have already drawn up all the
necessary plans for further occupa
tion of the Rhineland territory." He
again points out the urgent need of
framing up an indemnity which Ger
many must pay, and says the work
of the supreme council cannot be ter
minated until this is done. Further
more, he calls upon the French gov
ernment to maintain its vigilant watch
on Germany and to take measures
at the slightest infraction of a treaty
clause.

SEATTLE, Wash., May 2. (Spe
cial.) Work will bigdn tomorrow
on the removal of the equipment and
pumps of the Renton coat mines.
The workings are to be permanently
abandoned and flooded, as the re
sult of an order issued by Manager
W. J. Grambs of the operating com
pany. These mines have been the
principal source of supply for the
steam power and heat plants of the
Puget Sound Power and Light com
pany. They wore acquired more than
20 years ago by the Seattle Electric
company and have been held through
the various corporate changes of that
organization to the present time.
There is syll coal in these mea
sures sufficient to provide a lease of
life of another 30 years, as the con
tents of the coal measures is esti
mated at 4,000,000 tons.
A number of leases which have 18
years to run have also been can
celed by the lessees.
The reasons given by the company
ments that left no other alternative.
Briefly they state that with an out
put of 115,000 tons in 1919 there was
a total loss of $126,000, or that every
ton mined cost $1.09 a ton more than
the company received for the- prod
uct. The actual cost of the coal at
the surface exceeded $6.60 a ton, says
the company.
Labor at the mines received a frac
tion more than 92 per-cent of all the
gross revenuei, leaving Ices than
8 per cent of the total receipts
for all other costs, such as timber
ing, supplies, power, maintenance,
taxes and interest, says the com
pany. .

PARIS, May 2. (By the Associated
Press.) The strike of the railroad

of public -works, today.
Service on all lines was curtailed
today. The Parisian forces were ope

Lazarre state system, which canceled
all trains from the capital.
The government's determination to
fight . the strike for nationalization
has been voiced by M. LeTroquer and
Premier Millerand. M. Millerand said
the government was prepared to do
its duty in the maintenance 'of order
and to protect the men who remain
at work;

In carrying out- its poficy to break

PARIS, May 2. The labor federa

by, calling a general strike beginning
Monday of all miners, sailors and

Another serious clash took place
last night between rioters and the

States shall attain recognition on the
nominating ballot, but nothing is said
as to how a candidate shall proceed
to withdraw, or the extent of au
thority vested in the secretary of state
in considering such request for with
drawal. Withdrawal Clanae Viewed.
As far as the secretary of state has
been able to determine there is only
one section of the Oregon election
laws which provides for withdrawal
of candidates. This act relates spe
cifically to candidates who file by fee.
and is devoid of any mention of can
didates for president or vice-president
of the united States.
This sectiou of the law reads:
"Upon the proper filing of notice
of candidacy, accompanied by the re
quired fee, said candidacy shall be
deemed complete, and, unless the can
didate shall withdraw and state his
or her reasons for withdrawal under j
oath and file the same with the prop- I
er official, the secretary of state, j
as the case may be, shall cause the
name of the said candidate to be
printed upon the official ballot at
the ensuing primary election and no
additional signatures or fees shall be
required to make said candidacy com
plete and effective."
Because the above section of the
election laws relates only to candi
dates who filed by fee, there is doubt
here as to whether the statute would
cover the withdrawal of a candidate
who filed for president or vice-president
by personal request.
Mandamus Action Cited.
Had Mr. Poindexter filed by peti
tion his withdrawal would have been
impossible, according to the secretary
of state. This was definitely settled
in the mandamus action brought by
Albert Abraham of Roseburg in the
year 1916, to compel Ben Olcott, then
acting as secretary of state, to place
the name of Charles Evans Hughes
on the nominating ballot at the re
publican primary election. In this
