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

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.

SEATTLE. Wash.. Aug. 20. (Spe
cial.) Washington coal mines, closed
down since las't March, will resume
operation Monday, and by the middle
of the week, the coal operators an
nounced today, coal will be flowing
irto Seattle. Eight of the 28 mines
now closed are planning to reopen
Monday and others will follow as
scon as the necessary forces have
been obtained.
"The guarding .. and housing ar
rangements at the mines that win
reopen Monday are practically com
plete," said a statement Issued by N.
D. Moore, of the Pacific Coast Coal
company, acting as spokesman for
the operators. "New men are being
moved to the properties that will open
first.
"The employment department re
ports satisfactory response to the ad
vertisements for men, and solicitors
have been successful In finding many
experienced men who are eager to
re-turn to work.
"Coal will be moving into Seattle
from several mines by the middle of
next week."
The coal operators announced today
that coal will be moving in Increased
quantities within the next ten days
or two weeks and new price schedules
are being prepared. The new price
will be from $1.50 to $3 cheaper than
the price prevailing at the time when
the mines closed.
At a meeting held early in the
week, when a special committee of
the industrial and state development
bureaus of the chamber of commerce
conducted an investigation into the
coal situation, the coal operators
made it emphatic they never again
would deal with the United Mine
Workers of America. This decision
followed a recent finding bf the arbi
tration committee known as the All-
port commission, whose findings the
United Mine Workers of America re
fused to allow its members to accept
The operators said they are care
fully selecting their men and have no
thought of employing professional
strike breakers.

WASHINGTON. D. C, Aug. 20.
General debate in the house on the
senate agricultural relier bill was
completed tonight with a vote on
passage scheduled for Monday.
When the house adjourned a mo
tion hy Representative Wingo. demo
crat. Arkansas, to recommit the
measure was pending. He contended
provisions should be added to author
lze the war finance corporation to

bonds and to make loans directly to
agricultural producers.
The bill will make $1,000,000 avail
able to the corporation, facilitating
the exportation of farm production
A number of changes have been made
in it in the house, and if passed th
measure will go to conference.
Representative Luce, republican
Massachusetts, asssailed the bill to
night, charging that it would work
out to tbe benefit of the German
manufacturers in tneir new com
mercial warfare." He particularly
opposed the section, which, he said,
would permit government loans to
foreigners engaged in exportation
or American farm products.

BANK ROBBED OF $17,249
Outlaw Locks Cashier and Assist

m
BAY CITY, Mich.. Aug. 20. A lone
robber held up the farmers' State Sav
Ings bank at. Kawkawlin, about five
miles north of here, shortly before
closing time this afternoon, locke
the cashier and his assistants in th
bank vault and escaped with $3499.98
in cash and $12,750 in liberty bonds.
.The robbery occurred a few minutes
before 3 o'clock. The robber, a etran
ger. who was said to have appeare
in the bank on one previous occasion
about a week ago, asked for a dollar'
worth o nickels. As the cashier
turned to accommodate him he foun
himself facing two revolvers. Th
bandit made his way into the cash
ier's cage, forced that official to t
the hands of his assistant and
marched both into the bank vault,
where he put all visible cash and lib
erty bonds Into a suitcase. He the
locked the vault door with the tw
bank employes inside, and made hi
escape.
The robbery was not discovere
until nearly three hours later and th
cashier and his assistant were nearly
suffocated.

the same as that of the Spokane,
Portland & Seattle railway and when
the railway company met these fig
ures Captain Hosford refused to fol
low tbe lead of his opponent, the
Iralda. and left his fares as they
had been.
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.

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.
TRUCKMEN TO BE CURBED
War Against Overloading in Clack
annus County Started.
OREGON CITY, Or, Aug. 20.
(Special.) War against truck over
loaders n Clackamas county started
in earnest yesterday, when three
representatives of the atate motoi
vehicle division went over the local
Mghways, equipped with instruments
for measuring the weight of truoks
and their loads.
T. A. Rafferty. - chief of. the state
motor vehicle division, and H. L.
Griffith and W. L. Campbell, depu
ties, are the state agents who will
operate in this territory. Two ar
rests were made Friday. W. H. Bow
man was arrested at Aurora for
carrying 3400 pounds over the limit.
Georpii roty was arrested here for
carrying an excess load of 2600
pounds.
The state officers will stay on the
job, it is said, until- overloading of
trucks on tho highways has been
