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.

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.

CLEVELAND. O., Oct 2. (By the
Associated Press.) 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.
PAY DECISION IS EXPECTED
Ruling on Maintenance of Way
Men Is Likely Today.
CHICAGO, Oct. 2. A decision on
the plea of more than 400,000 main
tenance of way employes for in
creased rates of pay, recently
argued before the United States
railroad labor board by E. F. Grable,
president of the organisation, is ex
pected tomorrow. This announce
ment was made at the labor board
late today after members had
worked all day on the case.
No statements were made on what
the decision might be, but it was
generally understood that the ma
jority of the board favors increasing
the present minimums of pay,
rang-ing from 23 to 35 cents an hour.
