EDTXATIOXAL WORK IX TILLA
MOOK BEARS GOOD FRUIT.
County Has Honor of Being First
in Oregon to Subscribe Quota
for International Pavilion.
TTHEELER, Or., March 20. (Spc
etal.) O. M. Plummer, manager of
the Pacific International Livestock
show, has just closed a week's edu
rational work in Tillamook countv.
The entertainment given by him was
free and consisted of moving pictures
of the first stock show held in the
new pavilion, in Portland last No
vember.
Lectures were also delivered by
Rollie W. Watson, Ben Kuppenbcn-
aer, iay jjaniei and other promi
nent dairymen and business men.
Miows were given in Tillamook, Clov
erdale, Hebo. Nehalem and Wheeler.
One of the features of the week's
campaign was the large number of
business men, loggers, mill men and
dairymen who attended, accompanied
by their families. Tillamook county
is still in her Infancy as a dairy
county and will doublie her dairy
products in a short time
Besides the educational value of
these meetings, over $1760 worth of
stock in the Pacific International
Livestock pavilion was subscribed
for by people of this county. The
original quota for Tillamook county
was JJoOO but when the results of
the past week's work were checked
up it was discovered that this quota
had been exceeded by $1000. To thi3
county belongs the honor of being the
first in Oregon to go over the top
with its quota.
Mr. Plummer and other leading
dairy enthusiasts were especially
elated over the large number of boys
ana gins wno suDscnoed for stock.
BOSTON, March 20. (Special.) The
following is part of a letter sent to
day to all Christian Science churches
and societies, signed by 122 ex
employes of the Christian Science
Publishing society:
"As the press has given currency
to reports that many employes of the
Christian Science Publishing society
have recently resigned, we feel that
the field should be informed of the
motive which has actuated so many
Christian Scientists voluntarily to
give up their positions in the publish
ing house. While many workers have
been dismlsed or have resigned dur
ing the past year, others of us have
felt that we could serve the cause
most effectively by remaining in our
places, even though under increas
ingly difficult conditions.
"We have been in a position to see
that, regardless of the many appeals
and remonstrances from the field, both
from churches and from individuals,
what seemed to us a destructive, un
christian and disloyal policy was be
ing pursued. Such a policy, if contin
ued, would result in the adulteration
of Christian Science and the nullifica
tion of our church manual, with con
sequent loss to the world. of the ef- '
fectual ministries for good established
with God's guiding hand by our
leader.
"Following the resignations of Mr.
MeKenzie, Mrs. Hoag. Mr. Seeley and
others of the editorial staff of the
Christian Science periodicals on March
12 because, we understand, editorial
authority had been usurped by a mem
ber of the board of trustees, the va
cancies were filled by this trustee,
which act. In our opinion, is an open
violation of article XXV, sections
and 5, of the manual. Thus we were
brought face to face with the problem
of remaining in the publishing house
and taking part in the printing an
circulation of periodicals which we
regard as having ceased to be organ
of the mother church, or of takin
our individual stand for the manua
and resigning our positions. Those
of us who have not been dismissed
have chosen to resign."
INDIAXAPOLIS, Ind., March 20
Possibility of another tie-up of the
nation's bituminous coal industry be
ginning April 1 was declared to exist
as a result of the government's prose
cution of operators and miners for
alleged violation of the LeVer fuel
control act, in a statement issued to
night by E. D. Logsdon of Indianapo
lis. Mr. Logsdon is one -Of the five
coal operators arrested today by fed
eral officials and one of 125 men, op
erators and. miners, indictedi by a fed
eral grand jury here for alleged con
spiracy to enhance the price of coal.
Mr. Logsdon's statement declared
that, according to information re
ceived by he operators, the govern
ment is proceeding on the hypothesis
that joint wage conferences are and
have been illegal and that this theory
forms the basis for a part, at least.
of the charge against the coal men.
Confab Delay Considered.
If this is true, he said, it is prob
able that conferences to establish
new ware scale, effective April 1, will
be postponed until after that date and
nossibly indefinitely, and that miners
will refuse to work after April 1,
when ' the present contract expires,
unless a new scale is agreed upon.
Continuing, the statement asserts
that the government's action is in
consistent with a statement given out
by President Wilson yesterday, when
ha urged operators and" miners , to ge
together lender the majority report
of the commission which investigated
the' coal situation. The reslder.t, in
effect, jjave sanction to the idea of
collective bargaining in tne coai in
quiry, Mr. Logsdon said.

Hat they had authorized no state
nent as to the theory on which the

PEORIA, 111., March 20. The un-
aualified support of 90,000 Illinois
miners, through representatives
session here, today, was given Alex
ander Howat, state president of
Kansas, when he announced a pro
gramme for the launching of a -gen
eral miners' strike in Kansas, in de
fiance of state laws there which are I
now said to prohibit strikes of any I
nature.
Howat was one of the leaders of the
coal miners recently cited for con
tempt by Federal Judge Anderson of I
Indianapolis y
. General Strike Described.
The action of the Illinois miners
convention came arttr a lengthy ad
dress by Howat In which he reviewed
the general strike conditions last fail
and told of how the general assembly
of Kansas was called together and
the industrial relations court was es
tablished.
"The law calls for Imprisonment of
two years and a fine of $u000 for any
one who participates in or calls
strike," Howat said, "but come what
will, whether or not .my. bones rot
a prison cell, I am going to fight this
law with the forces of 12,000 miners I
in Kansas and regardless of conse-1
quences give Governor Allen cause I
to remember that organized labor I
must and will have the right to cease
work at its will.
Let the consequences be what they
may, there is no power on eartn, in
junction or otherwise, that vll make

Minna Plnlir. Rnaiuirf.
Kansas suffered a four-year strike
before representatives of organized
labor won recognition and this fight
is to be repeated soon, repeated solely
because the rights of free men to
cease work have been denied by Gov
ernor Allen."
Pledging Howat their support, the
delegates rose to their feet and
cheered him.
The convention adjourned until
Monday when the debate on the ques-
ion of calling a strike in the Belle
ille district will be resumed.

ROSEBURG. Or., March 20. (Spe
cial.) Farmers In road district No.

their knowledge or consent.
The men asking that the sheriff be
enjoined from collecting the tax are
E. E. Emmett. G. C. Graveson, Ernest
R. Short, Ed Moser jnd W. R. Vinsdn.
According to the complaint, .a special
tax of 6 mills was levied at a meet-
ng in November against Uie real
and personal property of those resid
ing in. district No. I, which was to
be used for the improvement of roads.
Prior to the meeting in November,
it is said that several. of the residents

full-time minister for Summit at a
minimum salary of $1200 and house.
The minister now serving Sdmmlt

receives IS0O per year, some years.
In the other years he receives . less.
The matter was relerred to the au
thorilles of the Evangelii-al church

was divided into "spheres of influ
ence" and the different denominations
advised to keep out of each other's

Baptists; Harris to United Rrethren

was recommended that the Evangel
Ists and Baptists try to reach an
agreement as to Wells; that the Bap
tists and Methodists get together re
garding Alsea. where me two now en
tertain a serious rivalry.
It was recommended that Alpine
should also serve the new logging
community of Glenbrook and that the
Methodists and Presbyterians try to
get together on the problem of which
one shall do it. Evergreen, Beulah
and Oakridge were urged to consoli
date. Nothing was done about the
dozen denominations in Corvallis, that
problem being left for a later date.
