THE SUNDAY OKEGOXIA", POETLAXD. AUGUST 21, 1921 11 COAL MINERS MUSS TO MARCH Of MINGO Demonstration to Be Made Against Martial L&w. RENDEZVOUS IS GUARDED Force ot Fully 600 la Expected to participate in Invasion of Turbulent Fields. ' CHARLESTON. "W. Ta., Aug. 20. Men from the Paint creek and Cabin creek coalfields along the Kanawha river assembled at Marmet. near here, today with the avowed intention, It was reported to state authorities, of making a demonstration against Min go county, where martial law has been in force for several months as the outcome of an industrial contro versy of long standing:. Six or eigrht hundred men were in the party ana it was said they would begin to march tomorrow morning, reaching Mingo througrh Boone and Logan counties. Colonel Jackson Arnold, commander of the etate police, declined to dis cuss the situation, nor from any other official source was any information given out. Men Mobilize for March. It was known, however; that late today a crowd of men, estimated at fully 600, had collected about .one mile from the railroad station at Marmet. Armed guards patrolled the road leading to the rendezous and trangers were excluded. A correspondent who sueoeded In passing the guard and mingled with the crowd said upon his return here that he was quickly singled out and made to state his business. A few minutes later he was approached by a number of men who told him they were a committee to inform him that his presence was not desired and he was advised, in courteous terms, 'to leave. As he made his way to the rail way station, he said, two men, armed with rifles, followed a short distance behind him. Martial Law la Protested. According to the reports widely cir culated in this city and throughout the state, the movement is in protest acainst the maintenance of martial law in Mingo county. Repeated effort by miners' organizations to have the courts free prisoners, taken under the provisions of Governor Morgan's mar' tial law proclamation, have been with out avail. Only a few days ago the supreme court of appeals refused to release a large number of men held in custody at Williamson, the county seat of Mingq. and upheld the gover nor's right to enforce martial law in that community for the second time. C. F. Keeney, president of district No. 17, United Mine Workers of Amer ica, said' tonight that the men could march to Mingo, as far as be was con cerned and that he would not inter fere. Leader Washes His Hands. "I wash my hands of the whole af fair," he declared, "I've Interfered time and again to stop euch enter prises. I seem to have halted them only temporarily. This time they can march to Mingo no far as I am con cerned." The miners' president discounted re ports here that miners in Boone coun ty were digging trenches and patrol ing a 17-mile front. He said- the president of the union local at Blair, Logan county, reported to him that the Boone-Logan border was 'quiet. ating losses their salaries would be more than Justified. At the same time there was pre sented a letter from Chairman Lasker saying that sooner or later congress would be called upon to appropriate 1300,000,000 in outstanding claims, in herited from the former administra tion. ' The president's letter giving his views at length on the general ship ping, situation follows: "I could not fail to note the, dissat isfaction expressed in both house and senate over the very unsatisfactory condition of the affairs of the ship ping board and the reluctance of con gress to make appropriations for the continued activities of the board without putting specific restraints upon the board's actiivties in employ ing agents of relief. "From your position you are prob ably as familiar with the affairs of the board as I am, and I hope you will make it a point to lay the exact but unpleasan truth before your col leagues. "There are approximately $200,000, 000 in claims against the shipping board. No business man would ven ture upon the settlement of these claims without highly capable legal representatives. The staggering losses in operation can only be cured by a board of operators whose members know something concerning the busi ness. These men could not be ob tained without giving up private pur suits which are vastly more profitable than the a vera e administration sal ary tinder the government, and Chair man Lasker has proceeded with my hearty approval In the acquirement of men eaual to this task. If their knowledge of the busness will ena ble us t put an end to operating losses, as we very much hope to do, their acquirement for government service wiil be justified a hundred fold." LABOR WMl OFF ::!estimated oose 10.1100 SPANISH JJOSSE IX BATTLE WITH MOORS HEAVY. Airplane Observers" See Roads Lit tered With Bodies Disaster Said to Be Far-Reaching. LONDON. Aug. 20. Enlistment of British citizens for service in Mo rocco by the Spanish consulate here has been suspended, it was announced by a number of newspapers here to day, and men who have volunteered to enter the foreign legion in the fighting against the Moors will be discharged. "The reverses suffered by the Span ish column in Morocco are attributed, mainly, to the recklessness of- the generals in operating too far from their bases." says the Madrid corre spondent of the London Times, who in a lenethv dispatch gives what is des ignated as the i-irst tun account 01 the Spanish disaster in Morocco,' and its causes. The extent of the disaster at Me- 11a, declares the correspondent, is so far-reaching in its consequences that is as yet impossible to estimate its ffects. The correspondent asserts that some 0,000 Spaniards must be considered dead, as "airplane observers have re- orted the roads littered with bodies." MELILLA. Aug. 20. (By the Asso- iated Press.) Spanish convoys and dvance posts have been furiously at tacked by the Moorish tribesmen, says dispatch dated Thursday. The Moors, however, were driven back by rtillery fire with great losses. CELEBRATION FUXOS TO EE i:SEI OX TEMPLE. Dedication of Xew Structure on September 5 Decided On by Central Council. Instead of observing Labor day, September 5, by the customary cele bration, the Central Labor council and the officers of the Labor Temple association have decided to celebrate the holiday by dedication of the new labor temple, now in the course of erection at Fourth, an Jefferson streets. The building will not be ready for occupancy by that time, but it will be nearly finished. Difficulty in procuring materials and. financial limitations have delayed completion of the new home for organized labor until recently. E. J. Stack, secretary of Jhe associations has received more man o,uiu in cash and pledges dur ing the past three weeks, and the work is now proceeding rapidly. The money ordinarily used for Labor day parade is to be used in helping along the building. The temple will cost $400,000 and. accord ing to local labor leaders, will be the finest of its kind in the United States. Labor day, falling on Monday, will give many week-enders a chance to get away from the city for three days, ahd aside from general observ ance of the last holiday of the sum mer, there is to be no celebration here.

A. Jaloff. owner- of the Shepard line of auto buses, who yesterday announced a reduction in fares to i encourage passenger travel over his i lines, also had an optimistic outlook ' on the rate war situation. He hat : reduced his fares from $3. 75 to Astoria to $2.75 and from $4-50 to $3.25 to ; Seaside. "Our buses carried average loads," ' he said yesterday. "Wo cannot ex- ! pect to meet the rail and boat rates ! and are not going to attempt it, for j siici an attempt would be suicide. I We dig up our own business and are ! after the tourists who want to en- i joy a drive over the beautiful high way." Officials of tbe Spokane, Portland '& Seattle railway were optimistic in the extreme yesterday. W. F. Turner, president of the road, joined in- the large crowds over his lines and went to the coast, while W. D. Skinner, traffic manager, who is the railroad chief of staff in the rate war, left for Spokane on an inspec tion trip. Among th hundreds of people who left for Seaside by train, few hesi tated to say that they were going, due to the reason that sates were down to bedrock. While the steamer owners inward ly complain at. the turn of affairs, there is much joy in "Seaside and other coast towns. The business men who, in some of the resorts have been struggling along all season because of small crowds, now are experienc ing an unexpected prosperity, and are devoutly in sympathy with rate wars. .

Orders to Operators of Shipping Boai-d Vessels Said to Have Come From AVasblngton. SEATTLE, Wash.. Aug. 20. All operators of the United States ship ping board in the Pacific northwest today were ordered to discontinue booking lumber cargoes to the orient. according to an announcement by R. M. SemmeB, district manager of the shipping board. It was said the. order came from Washington, but Mr. Semmes declined to comment on it. The information was transmitted to the Pacific Steam ship company, Frank Waterhouse & Co., and Struthers & Dixon, the three steamship concerns serving the orient from this port. Operators also were requested to file with the district manager a re port of all advance bookings pending. Local shipping men interpret the order as likely to throw the lumber trade to the orient entirely to foreign ships. Losses of something like $250.- 000 monthly on the operation of. the 17 shipping board vessels plying on the Pacific' were attributed as the cause. Mr. Semmes said the order was coast-wide. In local shipping circles the pres ent rate on lumber. $12.50 a 1000 feet reduction from $17.60 having been made necessary by foreign compe tition was blamed for the reported losses. To discuss the situation resulting from the order, a meeting of lumber and -shipping interests has been called ror Monday in the chamber of com merce. According to reports tonight," the suggestion will be made that an agreement with foreign interests. rais ing the rate to $14 be proposed. Lumber, statistics indicated, had formed from 60 to 75 per cent of. the cargoes moving, from this port. Ex porters estimated that 95 per cent of the lumber exported from the north west went to the orient. OLD GUARD HAS REUNION Veterans of First Oregon Honor Comrade Louis Feldenheimer.

Resolution ' at Convocation Asks Commissioner to Forbid Re vival of Institution. OKREEK, S. D., Aug. 20. Whether Sioux Indians "hall abandon the an cient dancea of Aheir tribe came ac tively before the convocation of Sioux here at today's sessiffn in the shape of a resolution requesting the com missioner of Indian affairs to forbid all auch dancea as the sun, the ghost, the war danca and other like dances. An old-time "pow-wow" followed the introduction of the resolution. Spotted Eagle, the oldest brave in the convocation. ' a former medicine man and a convert to the Episcopal church, whoee missionary centennial is being observed here today, voiced the view of most of the braves when he stated that the question is one for each In dian to settle with "his own con science." At the suptresuon oi osisnop Remington, the matter was referred to a committee of Indians to investi gate and report. Indian dances naa almost completely died out until the beginning? of the world war, when they were revived in the interest of war funds. Since the return of peace the dance craxe has spread in a mild way among the Sioux, who are indulging in the tribal dance. The Episcopal church, under whose auspices the convocation is be ing held, and of which the 5000 In diana gathered here are communi cants, has taken no part in the discussion. Bishop Burleson, missionary bishop of the state, is having an investiga tion made, but in the meantime most of the white people t-nd a great ma jority of the Christianized Indiana be lieve the "revival of dancing wiil tend to have a demoralising effect on the Indians.
