COAL S
IE SEEMS
TO MENACE GOUiTTRY
Miners Expect Struggle of
About Four Months.
OPERATORS ARE HOPEFUL
Owners Reported to Believe That
Backbone of Unions Will
Break In 30 Days.
BY HARDEN COLFAX.
(CooyriKht. 3922. by The Oresonian.)
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.. Feb. 18.
(Special.) The coal strike, if it
comes, will last from four to six
months, in the opinion of the rank
end file of the United Mine Workers
of America, in a session here this
week.
The miners expect to win. They
expect to tie up effectually every
union mine in the Dnlted States until
a wage adjustment is affected.
Operators, on the other hand, be
lieve the backbone of the strike will
be broken in less than a month. Some
of the leaders in the central compet
itive field, comprising the states of
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and the west
ern part of Pennsylvania, profess to
believe their operations will be tied
up only a few days. In the Pitts
burg district the opinion is confident
ly held that the mines will be run
ning at normal within from two
weeks to a month.
Men Are Ready.
Buch are the views reflected here
through agencies which the miners
regard as accurate. The miners say
there is no foundation for such opti
mism. Certainly there seem to be
tew if any at the convention here
who would no, walk out and Btay
out till the fight is won.
The chief thing that they fear is a
crumbling of the edge of the cen
tral competitive field with a mine
here and there, the field going back
under open-shop agreements till the
coal thus mined, supplemented by the
big production of "West Virginia and
other non-union fields, would ap
proach the amount required by con
sumers. In such events the threatened
strike would benefit chiefly the non
union miner? in surrounding terri
tory. There miners would work full
time or overtime to supply the de
mand. Already they are averaging,
perhaps, half as much more working
time than the union miners.
Rail Help Unlikely.
Co-operation of the railroad unions
is not counted upon except for moral
support. Few miners here believe
the railroad employes will walk out
either in whole or to any apprecia
ble degree in sympathy. They an
ticipate a lone fight and a long one.
Recommendations of the scale com
mittee, which were sidetracked by
the wrangle over the Howat appeal
and the subsequtnt parliamentary de
lay, have furnished a basis of hope
that the strike may yet be avoided,
but the hope is faint. Thus far there
arc no indications that the operators
will deviate from their attitude and
meet the miners in a joint conference,
what the m'ners are most eagerly de
,slrous of at this time.
Conference Is Hope.
"If we can sit down with the op
erators in joint conference before
April 1," one of the leading officials
of the organization told this corre
spondent, "I firmly believe we can
avert a strike." A way out probably
could be found.
"So far, however, the operators
have refused to meet us in joint con
ference, notwithstanding that the
present contract specifically provides
that such a meeting shall be held
prior to April 1 for the purpose of
framing a new contract.
The- attitude of the government has
been of some concern to the miners.
The labor department has representa
tives on the ground here, reporting
to Washington the details of the con
vention and t'-ie sentiment of the
workers. It is expected as a matter
of routine that the labor department
probably, will make a move to medi
ate In the crisis. The miners say the
operators have about decided not to
accept mediation, but are expecting a
finish fight.
Finish Fight Probable.
According to reports current here.
y the operators made known this atti
tude iu Decirecary noover at Wash
ington recently. Mr. Hoover is re
ported here to be of the opinion that
a finish fight is necessary to Battle
this question once and for all.
There is no doubt as to the earnest
ness of the miners' intention to put
up a fight if need be. Many of them
admit privately a readjustment in
wages must be made ere long, but
they supplement this admission with
the statement that the high wage
benefits them little because of the
poor working time, and that in the
end miners' pay is insufficient to buy
necessities of life.
A referendum such as contemplated
by the committee's proposals prob
ably would require two weeks, if it
were to be held tomorrow, there Is
little doubt that the rank and file of
the 600,000 union members would vote
overwhelmingly in favor of a strike.
If not, then their 20,000 representa
tives here do not reflect accuratelv
the view and feelings of the men back
home.
WOMEN GET 120 DAYS
Shoplifters Plead Guilty Before
District Judge Delch.
Mrs. Emma Sieverson, who said she
arrived in Portland about three weeks
ago from South Dakota, and Mrs.
Lavina Hansen, who claimed Forest
urove as he home, were sentenced to
120 days in the county jail by Dis
trict Judge Deich yesterday after
noon when they pleaded guilty to
snopnrung.
Both were caught by a woman de
tective in the Meier & Frank store
yesterday morning, red-handed, with
capacious pockets in their coats filled
with dainty lingerie, stockings and
other wearing apoarel. The bags they
were carrying after the fashion of
most shoppers were crammed with
purloined goods. In value, the goods
taken were around 1100,
The women are middle-aged and
both said they were married. They
offered no excuses for their acts, and
Judge Deich commented that there
were no extenuating circumstances.

The order disposes of three cases
pending several months. One in
volved an application for increase of
rates, the second was filed by Canby
to compel restoration of lighting
service and the third involved an. in
vestigation by the publio serviC8 com
mission. Restoration of lighting service in
Canby was ordered by the commission
some time ago. The commission now
orders the rate for both residential
and commercial lighting reduced from
11.25 per month for the first six kilo
wat hours or less to $1.10 per month
with proportionate reductions for ad
ditional service.
M PROBE TO RESUME
INVESTIGATORS TO STUDY TIM
BER LEVIES.
Commission Likely to Recommend
That 1923 Legislature Place In
come Tax Plan Before Voters.
Further probe into the tax condi
tions of Oregon will be undertaken
tomorrow by the state tax Investiga
tion commision. - The commission, at
its three-day session last month, de
veloped the fact that the state is
losing milions of dollars by the pres
ent system of assessment and the
commission favors the creation of a
central body acommisioner or state
assessor who shall arrange a uniform
system of assessment to be put into
force in every county.
Among the matters which probably
will be discussed at the coming meet
ing will be the most scientific way
of taxing timber land. A large per
centage of the world's standing tim
ber in in Oregon, so that this will
be a live subject. Some of the mem
bers favor making concessions where
logged-off lands are artificially re
planted. An exhaustive survey of
timber taxes in Oregon and Washing
ton has been in preparation for sev
eral months and may be ready for
discussion this week.
The commission is wedded to the
idea of a state income tax which will
bear about 60 per cent of the cost
of operating the state government.
There is a difference in the commit
tee as to the relative merits of a flat
rate or a graduated income tax. It
is considered certain that the com
mission will recommend that the 1923
session of the legislature take steps
toward submittiipj a state income tax
amendment to tue people. Only by
means of an income tax, argue the
investigators, will it be possible to
tax intangible wealth, such as div
idends on stock, interest on bonds,
notes and mortgages.
The commission meets in its office
in the board of trade building.

'Production was only 11 per cent
below normal. New business was 12
per cent below production. Shipments
were 2 per cent less than new busi
ness.
"Forty-five per cent of all new
business taken during the week was

U. S. CARDINALS SEE POPE
Pontiff Likely to Order Delay In
Electing Church Head.
ROME, Feb. 18. (By the Associated
Press.) The cardinals of the Ameri
can continent have formally asked
Pope Pius to alter the constitution of
the conclave, lengthening the period
that must elapse between the death
of the pope and the convening of the
conclave, to enable them to attend
papal elections in the future.
The pope has received the request
favorably, and, according to reports
in Vatican quarters, will extend the
period from ten to 15 days, deeming it
unwise to leave the church longer
without a head, especially because
during the Interregnum the cardinal
camerelingo, who takes the pope's
place, has purely executive, and not
legislative power.

one time had 60 members, and world
war veterans of St. Johns believe that
it can be built into a strong orffaniza

COIEiTI VOTES
FOR COAL STRIKE
Walkout April 1 Subject to
Union Referendum.
HOWAT BEATEN BY VOTE
Majority Fluctuates in Roll Call
While Session Is Marked by
Several Disorders. ,
INDIANAPOLIS. Feb. 18. General
suspension of work by union coal
miners on April 1, subject to a refer
endum vote of the union membership,
was ordered tate today by the con
vention of the united Mine Workers
of America unless new wage agree
ments are made before that date in
both the bituminous and anthracite
coal fields.
Before going on retfbrd in favor of
a strike, the convention approved de
mands for the retention of present
basic wages for soft coal miners and
increases for the hard coal miners.
The convention ordered that all new
wage agreements should be for two
years and date from next April 1.
After announcing that the official
vote in the Kansas controversy stood
2073 for the administration to 1955
for Howat, a majority of 118 for the
administration, the convention ad
journed sine die.
After protracted debate the con
vention adopted the six-hour day and
five-day week for insertion in the
wage scale after rejecting proposals
for a six-day wees with either seven
or eight hours of actual work.
The convention rejected the scale
committee's recommendation that
miners' demand that the eight-hour
day be limited to actual time under
ground and then began discussing a
proposal for a six-hour day, five-day
week. This proposal was included in
the demands of two years ago.
Fay Rise Is Approved.
The convention also ratified the
demands of the' anthracite miners for
a 20 per cent wage increase for ton
nage men and $1 a day increase for
day men. . ,
The convention adopted unani
mously the demands tr r pay and one-
half for overtime and. double pay lor
Sunday and holiday work. Likewise
it adopted the demand tnat tne
miners' wages be paid weekly.
Bemoval of the automatlo penalty
clause for fining operators or miners
for violation of agreements also was
adopted.
Bv its action, the convention In
sisted that the present basic wage
scales in soft coal districts be main
tained and that "inequitable differ
entials" be eliminated, giving some
increases in wages in some aiBtricts.
No record vote was taken but only
scattering "noes" were heard on the
vocal vote.
The majority in the rollcall against
seating Alexander Howatt and his
suspended Kansas following fluctu
ated while the session was marked
by disorders.
Mother Jones, sz-year-oid organ
izer, took the convention in hand at
the height of the disorders and suc
ceeded in quieting the delegates for
the time. This came after a charge
that the administration had increased
the eligible voting list. -Vice-Presi
dent Philip Murray was presiding.
'Where did you buy them, Murray r
shouted Joseph Lynall, of the Illinois
delegation, after 15 absent delegate
votes had been cast.
Mr. Murray Explains.
Mr. Murray explained that the com
mittee had accepted credentials that
'were submitted too late for inclusion
in the printed rollcall. The explana
tion apparently was not satisfactory
to the Howat men, who continued the
noise, and Lynall advancing again
toward the stage shouted:
"I can prove you added more names
without proper credentials.
Then Mother Jones made her dra
matic appearance. The howls and
hoots changed almost instantly to
cheers and she began addressing the
delegates.
"Don t you know that the whole in
dustrial world is looking to you for a
lesson?" began Mother Jones. "You
are wasting time that means money
and the children at home need it to
feed them. We are facing a crisis in
industrial organizations. You must
realize that the enemy that we were
fighting from the outside is now
boring from the inside.
"There is not an officer that I
would not raise hell with to right a
wrong. But you should not come
here to howl and -hoot. You came
here to outline a wage policy."
Mother Jones praised Howat for
his opposition to the Kansas Indus
trial court law and his other work
as a member of the miners' union,
saying "my desire is to have a mil
lion Alex Howats in the country.
Howat's fight, she Baid, had adver
tised the "damnable" Kansas law.

PICTURES TO GOME HIGH
$5000 CHARGED BY ABBEY FOR
SPACE FOR CAMERA. .
Owners of Property Along Route
of Marriage Procession Reap Har
vest From Photographers.
LONDON, Feb. 18. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) Completed plans for
reporting and photographing Princess
Mary's wedding on February 28 show
that photographers, in order to se
cure desirable vantage spots for their
cameras, will nave to pay huge sums
of money.
From 40 to 50 motion picture cam
eras will be employed and about 100
press cameras for snapping photo
graphs of the procession. A favored
place for taking pictures will -be near
the Westminster Abbey gateway,
where the bridegroom, Viscount Las
celles, King George, Queen Mary and
other members of the royal family, as
well as the chief guests, will alight
from their carriages, and enter the
building. '
For the privilege of taking pictures
there the abbey authorities are said
to be asking 1000, the money to be
devoted to the fund for restoration of
the edifice.
The Westminster hospital, directly
opposite the abbey, has a portico over
the doorway affording a splendid po
sition for several cameras. Space for
each of them is being assessed by the
hospital authorities at 1000.
House owners along the line of the
procession also are trying to reap
"golden hay" from the photographers.
Ten guineas is not an unusual price
asked for the privilege of standing in
a window or door to "shoot" the bridal
party as it drives slowly past.

Prospects at Fall Election
. Declared Bright.
UNIQUE BANQUET IS HELD
C. C. Moore, Lieutenant-Governor,
Conceded to Have Strongest
Chances for Governorship.
BOISE. Idaho, Feb. 18. (Special.)
The republicans of Idaho have held
their love feast; the clans have gath
ered and discussed the situation; the
leaders have been in , conference;
political fences have been patched up
and some of the differences adjusted
This all came about when hundreds
of members prominent in the party
gathered in Boise this week on the
anniversary of the birth of Abraham
Lincoln and paid tribute to the mem
ory of the martyred president. This
banquet is held annually under the
auspices of the Idaho Lincoln Day
Banquet association.
The consensus of opinion seemed
to be that the prospects for victory
next fall, while not so rosy as when
the presidential election took place,
are excellent, and all the party needs
to do is to keep harmony within its
ranks to assure the election of the
congressional, judicial and state
tickets.
Banq.net Is Unique.
The banquet this year was unique
in that all long addresses and tire
some speeches were eliminated, and
in their place was substituted grid
iron stunts that kept the audience in
good humor and gave the leaders time
to get together. It was under the
direction of Robert O. Jones, secre
tary of state, who acted as toastmas
ter. President Harding sent greet
ings, as did also members of the
Idaho congressional delegation. A
number of fake telegrams, supposed
to come from party leaders and mem
bers of the legislature, were read to
cause amusement.
The main speaker was Judge
Stephen A. Lowell of Pendleton, Or.,
who has been prominent in political
circles in Oregon.
Botae Man President.
Frank Ensign of Boise, for many
years active in politics in this city,
was elected president of the associa
tion to succeed Secretary of State
Jones, and will have charge of the
next banquet.
In his greetings to the republicans
of Idaho, President Harding said:
"Please express my greetings and
best wishes to the gathering at your
annual Lincoln day banquet. Those
of you and I know your number in
creases from year to year are en
deavoring to bring about a wider un
derstanding and truer appreciation of
the incomparable service of Lincoln
to our country. He is the perfect
examplar of everything that is best
and of nothing that is not good in
our American life and institutions
and aspirations. May the inspiration
of his noble career move our nation
more and more as the years shall
pass."
United States Senators Borah and
Gooding sent messages saying they
were with the republican leaders in
the state in spirit. Similar messages
came from Representatives Addison T.
Smith and Burton L. French.
C C. Moore Looms Strongest.
While no candidacies were an
nounced at the gathering, it seemed
to be generally taken for granted
that C. C. Moore, lieutenant-governor,
of St. Anthony, had the gubernato
rial nomination for the asking, and
that as yet there is no one else in
the field who is willing to con
test him. While Lieutenant-Governor
Moore was in attendance at the ban
quet and in almost constant consul
tation with party leaders, he did not
announce his candidacy. It is under
stood that he will take the nomina
tion only with the understanding that
the party stands unitedly behind him.
While the primary law .avocates
are still determined to force the pri
mary issue, according to leaders
among them, they did not make it
an issue at the banquet. The mat
ter was discussed at some length,
however, and several conferences
were held. State officials who in
tend to run for office again, as Sec
retary of State Jones, State Auditor
Gallet, State Treasurer Banks and
State Mine Inspector Campbell, were
In conference with party leaders, but
failed to announce their candidacies.
