LONDON, Oct. 22. (By the Asso
ciated Tress.) The strike situation
tonight was considered more hopeful
by the fact that the peace conver
sations between the government ana
vthe coal miners' leaders were con
' tlnuincr unbroken. There were no
new developments, however.
At a joint meeting- tomorrow be
tween the rail men and miners, from
which it is hoped peace may spring:,
the suggestion may be made that the
raiimen postpone their strike, set for
Sunday night, should there be no
agreement between the government
and miners by Saturday until after
the trade unions conference on
"Wednesday.
The greatest anxiety exists among
Londoners, for If the rail strike be
comes effective Sunday night, the
underground tube railways will
cease working. Also the trams and
buses will suspend operations. The
bus and tram drivers, however, have
xpressed themselves as reluctant to
Join the movement.
Railroad Men Are Divided.
There is division among the rail
road men with regard to a strike, a
large section of them opposing it. J.
II. Thomas, general secretary of the
National Union of Railway Men has
authorized the statement that he is
gainst the strike.
This has brought about the very
- reneral opinion that there will not
in any case be a rail strike before
"Wednesday, but should it transpire,
the ministry of transport has an
emergency plan in readiness for im
mediate operation of the railways by
volunteers and all -machinery created
for the purpose during last year's
atrlke willj be utilized.
Food Supply In Considered.
Ttobert Williams, general secretary
ef the transport workers, announced
regarding the enrollment of volun
teers by the government that the
transport men "look upon the danger
r the enrollment of volunteers, espe
cially from the middle class' and
"White Guards of the community, as of
more provocation tnan the use of
troopc."
Consequently, continued the an
nuunurmrni. tne transport men are
considering the granting of permits
In the event of an extension of the
coal strike, by which the appropriate
trade unions would provide the nec
avssary food for the community.
The National Union of Railway Men,
It also was announced, decided today
to invite the miners' executive to
meet the railway conferees tomorrow.
The miners' executive has been sum
moned to London and will meet to
K union's
tituatic
morrow to consider the railwav
invitation and the genera
on.
Premier Mffta t llk Cabinet.
While these activities were being
developed. Premier Lloyd George and
the cabinet were consulting infor
mally with a view to finding a chan
net ior a senement. upinion gen
erally expressed in government cir
rles was that a definite opportunity
for negotiations would be found be
fore any serious development aroee
from tho threats of the railroad men
and transport workers.
In the house of commons Edward
Fhortt, the home secretary, gave no
lice or tne presentation of a bill to
make exceptional provision for the
jirotection of the community in cases
of emergency. The announcement is
interpreted by the press as meaning
that the measure is intended to bear
on the strike situation.

The executives of the Associated
Society of Locomotive Englnemen and

Regarding the bill of which Home
Secretary Shortt gave notice it w
said the measure was mainly a re

NEW YORK, Oct. 22. (Specials
Wall street brokers who place elec
tion bets on a commission basis were
greatly amused over a despatch from
Chicago appearing in one of today's
newspapers reporting a certain book

two to five in favor of Harding and
two to one against Cox. A member

"We have been offering odds of slx
to one all week long that Harding
will be the next president and hive
been trying to place one wager of
$30,000 against $5000, but without
success." -
There is considerable betting on the
chances of cither Harding or Cox
carrying the democratic states as
well as on their probable pluralities.
Darnell Sc Co. yesterday placed sev
eral thousand dollars on even terms
that the republican candidate will
carry New York state by 300,000. They
also made a number of wagers at
odds of seven to five that he will
carry New York city.
Odds of two to one are freely of
fered that the senator will carry
Ohio, while eight to five is offered
that his plurality in that state wilj
be 35,000.

LEW1STON, Idaho, Oct. 22. (Spe

to $1,000,000. The larger part of this
loss falls on the farmers of Lewis
county where Camas and Nez Perce
prairies are located. It is believed,
however, that this loss can be mini
mized by co-operation among the
farmers in disposing of the sprouted
grain for feeding purposes. A num
ber of farmers and stockmen are now
planning to import from the big stock
centers a large number of hogs to be
sent here for fattening.

BY BEN ITTTR LAMPVAN.
PENDLETON, Or., ' Oct. 22. (Spe
cial.) In time of famine, if the world
were to feel a sensation of acute
hunger at the pit of its tremendous
stomach, there is a certain county of
Oregon that would heap higrh the
bakery shelves and work to rout the
wolf. It grows wheat by the section
and the double section, and many
multiplications thereof, and at this
season of the year its stubblef ields
from skyline to skyline attest the
harvest that is past. It is .Umatilla,
the premier wheat county of Oregon,
and one of the most dependable pro
ducers of breadstuffs. area for area,
to be found in the search of conti
nents. The Portland trade excursionists
entered Umatilla this morning, and
paused at daybreak in the town of
Athena, in tho Walla Walla -valley,
close to the Washington boundary.
Snow Powders Mountains.
The Blue mountains lie to the east
ward, their broad summits powdered
with snow and hazy with distance,
but from their bastions to westward
lie the fairest green fields in all Ore
gon. Folks say of the Walla Walla
country, which, by the way, is named
for the river that rises in Oregon,
and is not to be confused with the
Washington province across the
state line., that it is merely a quesi
tion of its soil' and season whether
will grow a 50 or 60-bushcl crop of
wheat
The trade excursionists -smiled a
trifle at this, but it was the. friendly
smile of fellow enthusiasts and they
regarded the broad dun fields, with
the checkerings of black summer fal
low, as guarantees of the solidity and
future of Oregon. At Athena a brief
halt was made while the trade emis
saries made new acquaintances, and
in mid-morning the special visited
Weston and the companion towns of
Milton and Freewater.
Companionttblp Is Close.
' These .twain thrive in such close
companionship that the station name
is hyphenated and the two communi
ties are to vote on the building of a
$20,000 union high school to serve ten
districts of the Walla Walla valley.
The bond issue,, which is to come be
foVe the voters on November 16, is
held to be practically assured of ap
proval. Weston hosts dashed up to the sta
tion in automobiles as the train drew
in, and for half an hour the Portland
I visitors fraternized with residents of
this elder city of the Umatilla
j oountry.
inero are tan locust trees along tne
streets of Weston, testifying to the
j maturity of the former frontier town.
And as ior progressive spirit, other
cities of Oregon may humbly seek in
struction there. Weston has built, by
public subscription, a fine memorial
hall to its soldiers, sailors and pi
oneers, a self-sustaining enterprise,
deriving its revenues from the opera
tion of a motion picture theater in the
hall itself, under the direction of S. A.
Barnes.
Pendleton Shown Hospitality.
The halt at Pendleton, this after
noon and tonight, which marks the
near departure from Eastern Oregon,
was signalized by the hospitality of
the Round-up city, which bears it
self with the pride of self-assurance.
At the banquet given in the parish
house of the Church of the Redeemer,
with 75 Pendleton business and pro
fessional men foregathering with the
western pilgrims, local orators left
no doubt of the fact that they deem
the mission of their city to be the
leadership of the eastern territory,
and that they are ready in all ways
to work with Portland toward the
realization of a greater state.
J. R. Raley, president of the Pen
dleton Commercial association, pre
sided as toastmaster. Roy Ritner of
I Pendleton delivered the ' address of
welcome, wttn responses by w. L.
Thompson, W. J. Roope and Frederick
Greenwood on behalf of Portland.
Party Met by Delegation.
At Milton-Freewater, the five-score
Portland business men were met by a
genial delegation of citizens from the
two towns, and were taken on an
hour's tour of the surrounding terri
tory. The two towns themselves with
but a single street dividing their in
corporated districts, are communities
where both homes and public build
ings speak for the substantial nature
of their prosperity.
Round about them are gathered the
wheat fields of the Walla Walla
country, with 60,000 acres under ir
rigation from the Walla Walla river,
green with orchards and alfalfa,
where the stream has touched the
soil.

Republicans Will Not Fight Choice
Heparty Deserter, but Let
T tter Rest T111 March. 4.

FMirfoREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU.
Washington, Oct. 22, Democrats and
republicans appear equally amused at
President Wilson's appointment of
Theodore Marburg of Baltimore to
one of the republican places on the
shipping board. About ten days ago
Marburg, who had been prominent in
the republican party of Maryland for
many years, announced his support
of Cox for president, and for sev
eral days has been campaigning for
the democratic ticket
It is assumed that this step qual
ified him for appointment as a re
publican member of the board, being
in line withvMr. Wilson's long and
unbroken policy of preserving the
right to answr - the . question for
himself, "What is a republican?"
It i not expected that the repub
lican leaders will make any special
protest against the Marburg appoint
ment, although the law is specific in
its requirement that both political
parties be represented on the board.
It is wholly improbable that the new
appointees will be confirmed by the
senate. They can hold under recess
appointments until congress adjourns
oa March 4, because, while there will
be no confirmation, there will not
be a rejection, it being understood
that al of the late appointments of
the president will bo permitted to
slumber in committee instead of be
ing brought before an executive ses
sion of the senate for approval. The
places wiU then become vacant for
the new president to fill. '
