(By Chicago Tribune Leased Wire.)
WASHINGTON. D. C, Aug. 24.
The industrial crisis, through failure
of negotiations to settle the railroad
and anthracite coal strikes, found
its way back to the administration
doorstep today and caused an up
heaval in the senate.
Collapse of the mediation efforts
in both of the strikes precipitated
turbulent debate' in which strong
sentiment developed for government
seizure of the railroads and anthra
cite mines. The discussion was the
first real manifestation by congress
of an appreciation of the gravity of
the situation and may be a fore
runner of action authorizing the
president to assume control of roads
and hard coal mines pending a
settlement of the la bor controversies.
Harding: I'olii y An! Chanced.
The presidtn:, fa:- ao is known.
has not changed his policy outlined
n his message to congress, which
lemanded that the law be enforced
in the strikes, but 1 ..commended no
legislation relating to them. To
day's senate debate, it was believed
in some quarters might result in a
change of administration policy
should the strikes continue. Lt the
conclusion of the debate the govern
ment ownership issue was put
squarely up to congress when Sen
ator Walsh (Massachusetts), demo
crat, formally introduced a resolu-j
tion directing the president to take;
over the coal mines.
The senate debate began when
Senators Calder (New York) and
WalBh (Massachusetts), states which
are almost entirely dependent upon
the Pennsylvania anthracite fields
for their fuel supplies, called at
tention to the prospect of their con
stituents freezing this winter.
Seizure Is Advocated.
They advocated the taking over
of the anthracite mines. Senator
Lenroot (Wiscon9in), having in mind
the dearth of fuel supplies In the
northwest, suggested that the time
had arrived to take over both the
railroads and the anthracite mines,
pending a settlement of the strikes.
Replying to a' vehement attack
upon the strike policies of President
Harding by Senator Walsh, Senator
Cummiifs (Iowa), chairman of the
interstate commerce commission,
insisted that the president had done
all he had authority to do under
existing law and the constitution.
He declared congress ought to look
the existing emergency squarely in
the eye and should make it a crime
to etrike and tie up transportation
or basic industry.
Congrrass Held Powerless.
Senator Borah (Idaho), chairman
of the labor committee, said that
even if congress acted to the full
limit of its powers under the con
stitution it could not deal adequate
ly with the situation and declared
that it was up to the governors of
the various states to follow the ex
ample of Governor Miller of New
York, convene their legislatures and
have measures passed to meet the
emergency within their own borders.
Senator Calder, who led off the de
bate, warned the senate that unless
coal was obtained within the next 60
days "people will freeze to death
this winter."
Senator Walsh vehemently as
sailed the president for failing to
deal more effectively with the strike
situation. He declared that the gov.
eminent, unless it acted with great
er promptness and decision, would
have to confess to the American
people its inability to protect them
in the emergency created by the
strikes. - The voters, he declared,
would not hesitate to lay the re
sponsibility upon the party in
power if they failed to get coal this
winter.

PORTLAND BOY DROWNED
Lud or 12 Steps Off Ledge Into
Deep Water and Sinks.
Arthur, 12-year-old son of Mr. and

was drowned yesterday in the Wil
lamette river just below the Port
land Flouring mill.
E. J. Heffernan, a disabled war
veteran of 1284 Villard avenue, dived
into ten feet of water and brought
the boy ashore. A pulmotor was

to resuscitate the lad were futile.
The boy was with a party of
friends at the swimming beach and
was wading In shallow water when
last seen. Later he was missed and
a search was started. Heffernan
found him lying in ten feet of water
near where he had last been seen.
The boy made no outcry as he
stepped off a ledge into deep water.

Kahanamoku said that Secretary
Denby was not content to sit in the
canoe as a passenger, but insisted
on taking a paddle and assisting in
working the canoe's way off shore
to catch the big. breakers.
The head of the navy made four
trips and announced as he stepped
ashore, "It is my first try at this
canoe game and I hope it will not

The secretary also experimented
with a surf board, but he did not

Supreme Court Decision cited.
Senator Shields (Tennessee), dem

government could get the authority
under the constitution to take over
mines in peace time. Senator Len

from the supreme court decision in
the Coronado decision to show that
such authority did exist. Senator
Shields declared that Chief Justice
Taft. who rendered the Coronado de

out any provision of the constitution
giving to congress or the executive
such authority.
Senator Cummins vigorously de

ROAD WORK TO START
Construction on Foster-Cascadia
Route to Be Begun.
SWEET HOME, Or.. Aug. 24.
(Special.) Construction work on
the road . leading . from Foster to
Cascadia will begin soon, according
to a representative or the Hill Con
struction company of Portland
which has received the contract to
build a macadamized road leading
to the forest ranger stajtion east of
Cascadia.
Bunk houses will be put up at
once for the accommodation of the
men and then the construction work
will begin with about 40 men em
ployed. The work will' start at the
foot of Shea hill and will continue
all winter. It is expected that the
new road will be ready for use by
spring.
coal mines were not 'working and
because some of the railroad work
ers were on strike. In point of fact,
what happened was that many min
ers instead of remaining idle went
to work in the'steel mills which ar
frequently found near the mines.
With the ending of the strike it was
obvious that these men would tend
to go back to the mines, and it is
reasonable to infer that the recent
increase in wages in the steel trade
was made to meet this situation.
Rail Strikers nt Work.
In the same way many' of the
striking railroad men did not re
main idle, but went into other work.
Many 'of them, in fact, while figur
ing as strikers on one railroad act
ually moved to other shops on other
lines and went to work as non-union
men. At the same time, with the
beginning of higher prices, of great
er activity and of what may turn
out to be a shortage of labor, we
have on the farms of the United
States crops of unprecedented size.
As to the effect of these large crops
on prosperity on the farms, or atj
least on the prices likely to-be re-j
ceived by the farmers- for their
products, there is a sharp difference
of opinion.
Some assert that with, increasing
domestic activity in America and
with the rising wages for labor, our
crops will be consumed largely by
our own people at prices satisfac
tory to the farmers. Some others
contend with great confidence that
the presence of large crops at a
time when the foreign market for
these crops is reduced by reason of
conditions in Europe, may possibly
bring to the farmer the experience

Only Hands and Face of Swim
mer to Be Exposed; Sexes Kept
t 500 Feet Apart on Beach.
(By Chicago Tribune Leased Wire.)
ZION CITY, 111., Aug. 24. Wilbur
Glenn "Voliva. overseer of Zion, who
terms bathing beaches "hell holes,"
today made radical changes in wom
en's bathing fashions in a mid-summer
style bulletin by the official
modiste of Zion. .
The new suits, as decreed by Over
seer Voliva, will leave the hands
free and the bather still will be per
mitted to expose his face. The suits.
to meet the approval of voliva s
beach censors, will begin close jipder
the chin and go on voluminously and
uninterruptedly to the toes.
Perhaps because hands and faoes
will be bare Voliva accompanied his
style decree with orders that men
and women bathers be kept at least
500 feet apart while on the beaches.
This rule, he says, will apply to hus
bands and wives as. well as
strangers.
The bathing costumes will be cut
generally upon the outlines of a
gunny saek. In this connection the
rule says:
"The suit shall be sufficiently
large so thai when worn wet the
same will not adhere to the form
of the wearer as would tights."
No man or woman bather will be
permitted in the water unless they
wear a suit which, with black stock
ings, shall be a complete cover, ex
cept that the arms may be bare to
the. elbows.
The men and women bathers are
separated by a huge board fence
with a long list of don'ts tacked to
its surface every few feet.

last night adopted a resolution de
manding a minimum price of 6
cents a pound for berries produced

It was set out in the resolution
that this price is necessary in event
the growers 'are to continue, in
business. -
Decision also was reached at the
meeting to send letterts to the grow
ers in other districts of Oregon ask
ing that they join in the demands
for higher berry prices next year.
Last year the growers of Marion
county received a maximum of 3
cents a pound for their berries,
while this year they received on an
average o,f-4 cents a pound for their

(Special.) Due to the scarcity of
hop pickers in the Rogue valley, the
opening of the Grants Pass schools
has been postponed one week so
that the school children may assist

more pickers.
The picking of hops commenced
today in the Cecil E. Weston yard
and . on Friday the Christie & Son
yards will start. Nearly all the hops
have been contracted with foreign
buyers.
Families are moving to the hop

Estimated Salmon Pack.
Canned product, full cases -57,300
Mild cured, tierces 1,400
ASTORIA, Or., Aug. 24. (Spe
cial.) The spring fishing season on
the Columbia river will close at
noon tomorrow with the largest run
of fish for the entire season in river,
although during the last few days
the quality of the salmon coming in
has deteriorated materially with a
heavy sprinkling of tullies among
them. The pack is less than that of
last year and is the smallest in
many seasons.' The mild cured pack
is less than 50 per cent of the quan
tity put up in 1921.
The pack of the canned product,
while only about 50 per cent of nor
mal, is not so far behind the output
for 1921, but this is due to the fact
that this season's figures include
approximately 60,000 cases of blue
backs, as well as about 5000 cases of
steelheads, leaving the real pack of
chinooks from 65,000 to 70,0000 cases'
short.
Estimate Is :.'7.500 Cases.
The procuring of definite infor
mation regarding the pack at so
early a date is a difficult matter
for the double reason that some
packers hesitate to give out accu
rate figures and because a great
portion of the canned product is put
up in half cases of 24 pounds each.
As near as can be estimated, how
ever, and this estimate based
upon the opinion and observations
of men well informed on the sub
ject, the total canned product for
the season amounts to about 412,000
cases "as they run." Of this amount
fully 75 per cent are what are
termed half cases, so that the agge
gate pack in full cases, that is those
containing four dozen one - pound
cans each, is in the neighborhood
of 257,500, as compared with 276,750
cases last season. j
17,068,000 Fish Pounds Used.
As 30 tons of raw fish are required
for each 1000 cases of cured salmon,
this pack represents 15,456,000
pounds of salmon. The estimated
cold storage or mild cured pack is
1460 tierces, containing 800 pounds
of cured fish and representing 1100
pounds of raw salmon each. Thus
to put up the canned and mild cured
packs on the Columbia - river, ap
proximately 17,068,000 pounds ' of
fish were consumed.
At the opening of the season the
price for raw salmon as agreed upon
by the packers and gillnetters was
i .,r,t3 a nminri flat. From the
start, however, cash buyers, which
took In the neighborhood of 40 per
cent of the catch, offered 14 cents
and continued that price up to
within ten days of the close of the
season, while a few paid as high as
15 cents a pound for the larger fish.
Thus 11 "4 cents a pound is about
the average price paid during the
entire season. This means the sum
of about $1,962,520 was distributed
among the gillnetters, seiners, trap
pers and trollers for their catches.
Pack Worth J-3,531,S.
Figuring'$13 a case for the canned
salmon and 22 cents a pound for
mild cured fish, the product of the
Columbia river fisheries for the sea
son, which will close tomorrow, is
worth in the markets of the world
$3,531,596.
The number of eases of canned
salmon, "as they run," about 75 per
cent of which are half cases, put up
by the individual packing plants is
estimated as follows:

HONOLULU, T. H., Aug. 24. (By
the Associated Press.) A sunny
coral sea in the South seas, far from
the propeller-churned paths of the
ocean liners, where lazy palms
fringe the coral atolls and the wom
en, young and beautiful, outnumber
the men more than It to one, where
30 cents lasts a month; this is the
story told of Tagawa, an islet of the
Elllce group, by Captain J. A. T.
Olson of the American schooner
Henriette, wrecked July 16 in those
latitudes.
Captain Olson and the members
of his crew are in Honolulu today
with the British steamer Haurakl,
which picked them up at Tagawa
and is taking them to San Francisco.
And the captain's tale runs as
follows:
"Tagawa Is the only habitable
island of the Ellice group. Its pop
ulation consists of 190 persons, of
whom only 12 are men.
Natives Uive Asslslanre.
"Our schooner, the Henriette, was
swung off her course and onto Nu
kualili reef by heavy seas, which
made it highly dangerous to attempt
a landing In a lifeboat without a
pilot.
"We struck at night and at dawn
we tried for the shore. Before we
hit the coral we saw native men,
clad only in loin cloths, pushing an
outrigger canoe into the water, and
with their assistance we made tha
shore in safety. If it had not been
for the natives we probably would
have lost our lives in the heavy surf
"Our coming was hailed with Joy
by the natives, who pass their
existence in a state of isolation.
The women outnumber the men al
most 16 to 1 and some of them are
beautiful. Their ages range from 12
to 18 years and there are only a few
older.
Husky Samoan Is ( hlrf.
The chief of the tribe, a hUBky
Samoan, turned over his grass-hut
"palace" to the mate and myself to
be used as our private quarters dur
ing our stay on the island. He also
tendered me one of his daughters,
a beautiful, dark-eyed girl with a
lovely figure, as a servant. Other
pretty girls were assigned to tha
mate and to members of the crew
to wait on them.
"We certainly did not lack for
entertainment. I had a great time
and would not have missed the ex
perience for any amount of money.
I had only 30 cents in my pocket
when I landed, but money was no
object. Many dinners were given in
our honor and native maidens lu
grass skirts performed hula dancei
for our amusement. t
"All the inhabitants of the island
are Christians and all lead upright
lives.
Women Plead for Husbands.
"We had a hard time getting
away. The Women wanted husbands
and they pleaded with us and coaxed
us to stay. Owing to the isolation
of .Tagawa, most of the men of mar
riageable age have left it, some have
gone to sea as sailors and others are
scattered throughout the southern
ocean and as far away as Australia.
"On our 20th day on the Island
Mate N. H. Benst-n sighted the masts
of the steamer Hauraki. We put
out in our boat and signaled re
peatedly, finally catching the at
tention of those aboard her and
they picked us up.
"We were not worrying, for if the
Hauraki had not sighted us we
would have been taken off the island
by the London Missionary society
boat, which calls at Tagawa twice
each year."
Captain Olson and seven others
of the crew of the schooner will
leave for the mainland tomorrow on
the transport Henderson.
