COAL OPERATORS TRIAL TUBE FREE TO MEN SEND COUPON Women's ERSMEET Autumn SHOES Mr. Mellon Wants Commit teeman as Assistant. Plan to Negotiate Future Wage Scales Sought. Reflect the vouthf ulness that is the keynote today. BUSINESS MAN SOUG HT JOINT SESSION IS HELD Oregon National Committeeman Considering; Tender and Will Go to Washington Soon. THE OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Washington, D. C, Oct. 2. It . is understood here that Ralph E. Will lams of Portland, vice-chairman "t the republican national committee, has received an offer of appoint ment as assistant secretary of the treasury to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation recently of El mer Dover of Tacoma. Mr. Williams was said to be the personal choice of Mr. Mellon, sec retary of the treasury, although other candidacies have been urged on both the president and the sec retary of the treasury. It was as serted today that the place would go to Mr. Williams if he would ac cept it. Secretary Mellon was said to be eager to put a man in the place who has a reputation for good busi ness training, and reports on Mr. Williams' business judgment reach ing Washington have been very ' satisfactory. The duties of this of fice are more important now than ever before, because it carries with it the administration of the new tariff law. Duties Heretofore Easy. Heretofore for several years the responsibilities of the office have not been difficult, because the sev eral officials wearing the title of assistant secretary have had little to do but to enforce regulations al ready laid down by their prede cessors, but now the task is a big ger one, with questions arising every day as to what this or that provision of the Fordney-McCumber law means. This official also holds super Vision over the bureau of internal revenue, which collects all the per sonal and corporation income taxes and excess taxes. Also Mr. Will iams, if he accepts, will stand at the head of the prohibition enforce ment division of the treasury and must decide what is intoxicating and what is not, although it does not necessarily follow that Mr. Will iams, unless he so desires, will have to delegate himself to the responsi bilities of official taster. Francis Matnon Mentioned. Francis G. Matson, ex-Salt Lake newspaper man and present deputy commissioner of internal revenue, has been mentioned for the Dover job many times and is said to have the backing of Senator Smoot. When the Harding administration came into power one of the first an nouncements made by Postmaster General Hays was that he had of fered one of the three assistant postmaster-general appointments to Mr. Williams, but,, the announcement carried also the information that the Oregon national committeeman had declined the honor. Elmer Dover's tenure as assistant secretary was short but not sweet. His efforts to swep out of office at one swish of the broom all those office holders in, his division of the treasury who were suspected of be ing democrats or having democratic leanings got him in trouble at once with Secretary Mellon and Mr. Blair, the commissioner of internal revenue. Their fight to oust Mr. Dover was made easy by some of the latter's mistakes in picking irresponsible persons to fill places which be caused to be vacated. On of his appointees was sum marily discharged for pernicious political activity and the case against him was clinched when it was found that he had carried away sv large part of his office files. HARRY WATSON BIS HIT GrtOTKSQVE COMEDIAN WrNS SUCCESS AT ORPHEl'M. Weaver Brothers and Corinne Are Added Features That Please Patrons of Big Show. Harry; Watson Jr., the grotesque comedian who closes his brief but highly humorous engagement at the Orpheum with the matinee and evening performances today, dates Conference Is Declared to Be One of Most Representativeln . Soft Fuel Interests. Harry Watson Jr., Orpheum come dian, -who made first success in burlesque of piano mover. his remarkable success in vaude ville from the time of his first ap pearance, a few years ago, as a piano mover. His art of pantomime reached its first important height in that char acter, as he stood on the stage with a piano on his back waiting lor deliberative newlyweds to decide in what part of the apartment they wished the instrument placed. Watson has taken many everyday characters and developed his bur lesque of them into veritable classics of pantomime. Plorena Ziegfeld engaged him for several editibns of his famous Follies and he achieved there the success that has followed him in every charac terization he has attempted. The vaudeville show of which Watson and his supporting com pany of five players constitute the headline act offers Orpheum pa trons two other featured acts in addition to several important bits of entertainment. The featured numbers are the Weaver brothers. original handsaw musicians, and Corinne, with Dick Himber, in "Co quettish Fancies." Watson's characterizations for his Orpheum tour are his masterpieces "Young Battling Kid Dugan" and the tired business man attempting to reach his home by telephone while the operators are reading a movie magazine. MR. WIXUIAMS 'CONSIDERING' Appointment Declared to Have Been Offered Some Time Ago. That he is suggested for assistant secretary of the treasury is no news to Mr. Williams. "The appointment was offered to me some time ago," explained Mr. Williams, when shown the Wash ington dispatch, "but I have not felt at liberty to discuss it. I have the matter under consideration and will not decide what to do until I go u Washington the latter part of this month. "However, I will say this: In no consideration will I accept the appointment if such action requires my resignation as a member of the republican national committee." Mr. Williams, in addition to being the national committeeman for Oregon, is also vice-chairman of the committee, placing him in line for national chairman.

The general policy committee of the United Mine Workers of America and rep resentatives of bituminous opera tors' from many parts of the United States met here today to formulate a plan for negotiating future wage scales and, after organizing, ad journed until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. Miners aid operators said the conference is one of the most representative ever held to deal with unionized soft coal mining. Developments late tonight indi cated that there was a pronounced lack of harmony within the ranks of the bituminous coal operators when it was learned that the oper ators in caucus this afternoon re jected a proposal of the federal government that a panel of 20 names of persons disassociated with the coal industry be submitted to Fresident Harding for use in cre ation of a committee provided under the Borah-Winslow law, recently passed by congress. At the joint conference this af ternoon T. K. Maher, president of the Maher Collieries company of Cleveland, ' was elected as tempo rary chairman and William Green, secretary of the United Mine Work ers, temporary secretary. Collective Bargaining Seen. The conference was characterized by Phil H. Penna of Terre Haute, secretary of the Indiana Coal Oper ators' association, as an attempt to resuscitate collective bargaining." John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers, declared in a statement that the "miners were j standing pat" on the agreement reached in Cleveland last August I when the soft coal strike was prae- tically settled. In miners' quarters this was interpreted that the min ers would insist on the appointment of a commission composed of oper ators and miners to investigate the industry. What stand the opera tors would take on this proposal was not discussed at their caucus, Mr. Penna said. The operators met immediately following adjournment of the conference. Organization Is Needed. The Illinois Coal Operators asso ciation already has announced it will seek to prevent any arrange ment which would conflict with the provisions of the federal fact-find ing coal commission bill, which pro vides that the president appoint commission outside the industry to make a survey of the coal situation and report back to congress. Operators, at their caucus, were almost unanimous in expressing the need of some definite organization, which would be empowered to deal with the miners, and which would be representative of all parties con trolling mines. However, no action looking to the formation of such an organization was taken. Tn addition to operators from the old central competitive field Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and western Penn sylvania attending -the conference are soft coal operators from Okla homa, Iowa,- Missouri, Kansas, Mon tana, Wyoming and Washington. The producers of western states never before had an opportunity of participating in wage scale meet ings, although they many times- asked to be admitted to the central competitive field.
