SALEM, Or Dec. 13. (Special.)
fc Seattle railroad, with headquarters
In Portland, has arrived in Salem to
act as coal officer for Oregon until
fuel conditions are relieved.
Although coal is not plentiful in
some parts of the state, Mr. Keck
nays there has been no actual suffer
ing for lack of fuel, and that the rail
road administration is exerting every
effort to protect the public In west
ern Oregon and other parts of the
state where wood can be obtained Mr.
Keck advises the use of this fuel. To
insure pr--npt delivery Mr. Keck says
the railroads will give wood prefer
ence transportation rights.
As fast as complaints are received
by Governor Olcott they will be
turned o-.- to Mr. Keck for investi
gation. Should he find that these
complaints are based on facts, and
that coal is actually needed to relieve
suffering it will be furnished by the
railroad administration througn some
responsible dealer and sold at a rea
sonable profit. Profiteering will not
be allowed.
Mr. Keck says the railroads operat
ing in eastern Oregon have a fair
eupply of coal on hand, and with re
duced train mileage they will be able
to continue service despite the present
cold spell.
Establishment of fuel headquarters
In Salem was brought about at the re
quest of Governor Olcott, who re
cently appealed to the federal author
ities to use their best efforts in re
lieving coal conditions as they af
fected the people of Oregon.
GARFIELD SCORES WILSON
fContlnued From Flint Page.)
cral Palmer, confirming that under
standing for which he was asked.
Discussing proposals which he had
submitted to the cabinet. Dr. Garfield
Bald:
"I had no power under the Lever
act to fix wages, but did have power
to fix prices, and the determination
of reasonable prices involving finally
a determnation of reasonable wages
I drew up a fyitement of principles
which 1 thought should govern the
determination of reasonable wages
and submitted that to the cabinet."
"Were they with you on that state
ment? Senator Frelinghuysen asked,
"Yes, except as to the second of
the principles stated," Mr. Garfield
responded. "That was one which said
the average wage of workers In the
, industry ought to be taken as a guide
in fixing increases allowed to meet
the cost of living and not the wages
of a single group. Secretary of Labor
Wilson desired the increases so given
to be estimated on the wages of pick
miners.
Cabinet Divided on Issue.
'What was your objection to that?'
' (Senator Townsend asked.
"Basing the increase on the wage
, of pick miners,' Dr. Garfield said
, would nave resulted in securing an
average increase of 179 per cent
wages in the industry over the period
since 1913, when the secretary of
labor conceded that the increase
' the cost of living had been only 79
per cent.
Some members of the cabinet. Mr
Garfield said, supported him and some
the secretary of labor, but all were in
agreement on the balance of the pro.
" posal. He had finally taken the res
ponsibility of putting through his set
tlement suggestion without securing
; a unanimous agreement of the cabinet.
"I conceived myself to be the res
ponsible officer,'" ho said, "believing
that I had authority to determine
questions. The matter was not pre
. tented to President Wilson."
Applying the principles laid down.
Dr. Garfield said, he decided that 14
per cent would meet the increased
, cost of living and that operators could
pay it out of profits and atill keep
enough mines running to supply the
nation with coal under the fixed price
of f 2 35 a ton. The miners decided to
. refuse, and continue the strike.
Policy Is Discussed.
"I went home thinking the matter
'was to be fought out." he said. "And
after that proposals were made in the
1 government to take the matter out of
' your hands, in spite of your magnl
; ficent war record and the way yov
were standing as a bulwark to thfe
public?" Senator-Frelinghuysen inter
jected. ' "I do not wish to go into the matter
; Of where and how the arrangement
was made." Dr. Garfield said.
"But your proposals up to December
4 were the government's?" Senator
Myers began, "accepted by all the par.
ties as the fact, and then some Changs
was made?"
j "Yes," Dr. Garfield replied.
Dr. Garfield said lie had not talked

with John Lewis, acting president
of the mine workers, and William
Green, secretary, on the flying visit
made bv those officials to Washing
as
ton a week ago, when the White
House settlement was submitted.
"If the president should see f it to
establish a commission to review my
work or my actions or my decisions,
that would not be a matter to which
1 could present any objection," Dr.
Garfield said.
Itecent Agreement Considered.
"Do you know the department of
justice or the department of labor
or any other agency of the govern
ment, and the miners have come to a
practical agreement that wages are
to be increased by this commission
above the 14 per cent you proposed?'
Senator Townsend asked.
"1 do not know that," Dr. Garfield
replied sharply. "I make one state
ment that there has been such an
agreement."
"Now, why have you resigned?"
Senator Frelinghuysen asked.
"I've stated the principle involved,"
Dr. Garfield said.
"Do you see anything patriotic in
the action of Lewis and his associates
in calling off the strike?" Senator
Frelinghuysen asked, referring to a
message of congratulation sent from
the White House.
"Not .more so than when you or 1
obey the law generally," Dr. 3arfield
returned, and the session adjourned.
