TITE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND, JTTLY 30, 1923 PICKETING SHOPS BEGUN BY WOMEN Road Threatens to Take Case to Courts. . ARRESTS JO BE ASKED Feminine Guards Declared to Be In Conspiracy With Strikers, Who Have Been Enjoined. Women walking the strikers' picket line near the Albina shops of Navigation company is a feature offon-union mines have been supply- the strike of railroad shopmen that threatens to have a court sequel to morrow. Attorneys for the railroad de clared that if the women continue to picket their arrest will be asked tomorrow. This was according to C. E. Cochran, counsel for the local Union Pacific lines. The railroad maintains that the federal court in junction prohibits more than one ntnW aai.K fr.fa o n H or.nliBB tn strikers and those In conspiracy With them. It will be maintained that the women pickets are mani lestly in conspiracy with the strikers. Action Due Tomorrow. It was said no action would be taken before tomorrow. At strike headquarters it could not be learned whether the women would be de tailed to picket duty tomorrow or whether their appearance yesterday was only a temporary move in the tight. Federal court yesterday granted an extension of time for the shop crafts to answer the petition for a preliminary injunction " against picketing. A stay until September 1 was granted yesterday to permit at torneys for the shopmen to tender a. bill of exceptions showing why the petition of the railroad com pany should not be allowed. Mean while the temporary injunction al ready granted will remain, in force. B. A. Green, attorney ior the strikers, has arranged conferences with leaders of the shopmen in dif ferent parts of the state and this was the reason for the extension of time. On behalf of the shopmen, it is said a motion will be filed by August 28 seeking to dissolve the injunction asked by the railroad and counsel for the company will pre pare a showing to support the re quest for the injunction with the court by September 11. Men Reported Hired. Officers of the railroads center ing at Portland declared they were hiring more men .constantly to take the places of those who walked out. Officials of the- O.-W. R. & N. com pany were yet undecided as to whether they would close the La Grande shops and send repair work to AiDina. A mass meeting of strikers will be addressed tomorrow night at the Labor temple by Rev. John M. Pax ton, pastor of the Anabel Presby terian church. A benefit dance to be given for the strikers will be held August 8 and tickets are now being sold for the event. A statement to the effect that strikers, on the i northwest railroads J are blind to their own interests and . are acting to help out members of the unions in the east was received here yesterday from Ralph Budd, president of the Great Northern rail way. He declared the forfeit of seniority and pension rights by the strikers was at the behest of east ern shopmen. Investigation Is Made. President Budd said he had been la Chicago the past week making an investigation into the strike sit uation and that greater Inconven ience is being caused in the north west by reason of the strike than In the east. He said that with a few exceptions eastern roads were not . thinking of dealing with their men to settle the strike and in those In stances those were roads most hard hit and those, too, against which the strikers had the slightest griev ances. "The matter ' of seniority," read Mr. Budd's statement, "which now is said to be the only one preventing settlement, is important only as to the number of men that have been employed, "If contentions of the strikers that virtually no new men have been em ployed all right, then they need have no fear about seniority rights, be cause there would be only a few men who would rank them in seniority. "The trouble about that is that on many of the eastern roads the seniority question is exceedingly serious because the ranks are pretty well filled up. In the northwest we have not yet hired more than one third as many men as we need, but dally the seniority question is grow ing more serious for the old men who have not yet returned to work.' STRIKE NATIONAL BLOW COAL RESERVES HELD DE PLETED FOR YEAR. Relief Declared Matter of Many Months, Even if Miners Go Back to Jobs Soon. BY FRANK MINOR. (Copyright, 1922, by The Oregonian.) WASHINGTON, D. C. July 29.- (Special.) The United States will require at least a year to get back to- normal conditions after the coal strike, is settled. There will be, of necessity, some coal on hand from ' the moment the men get back into the mines, but the variotry govern ment officials and agencies who deal with the national fuel prob- lems very frankly state that the ef feet of the strike long will be felt. Boiled down abut what they believe will happen amounts to this: . "Things won't go back to their normal state what they were be fore the strike for a year," said S'rancis R. Wadleigh, chief of the coal divisidn of the bureau of for' eigtt and J2mestic commerce, and a member of the president's board in charge of the distribution of coal, "T don't menn that we noiiM not Bret coal before that time. We wuld get part of the coal produced, of course, but production will not equal the demand for consumption and furnish a margin- to build up stocks in less than a year, in my judg ment. .... "There would be almost immediate relief from the situation once the mining of coal were resumed, but the relief would be partial. Com plete relief cannot be expected for months. "The anthracite situation would be the last to experience complete relief -nd return to normal condi- tions. A shortage of anthracite this winter is inevitable. Soft coal and oil will , be substituted of necessity to help out. "I expect the government wilj continue in charge of coal distribu tion, and that coal will be rationed out to consumers for many months to come.' Seventeen weeks of the coal strike have resulted in a shortage of not Uss than 30,000.000 tons of hard coal, according to figures of the United States geological survey. As the annual production of anthracite averages about 90,000,000 tons, the shortage to date is about one-third. Ae time passes without a settlement, the shortage increases at the rate of about 1.800,000 tons a week. The survey report shows that more than three-foHrths of all the hard coal mined is used by householders. Production of anthracite is confined to a small district in Pennsylvania and because of physical and other features it has been found almost impossible to increase the capacity output to more than an occasional weekly production of 2,000,000 tons. The mines in normal times work almost to capacity and all the coal is consumed. The bituminous situation is more hopeful. The estimated rate of con sumption of bituminous coal is 8,000,000 tons a week. Of this the ing an average of about 1,000,000 tons since the strike started; the re maining 4,000,000 tons having "been taken out of the great stock pile, at present almost exhausted, of about 70,000,0-00 tons built up to April l in anticipation of the strike. When the union bituminous mines resume operations they can mine coal to a maximum weekly capacity of 13,Z50,0O0 tons. That igvre con templates a full car supply and all fields producing at top speed. It has been reached only twice in the past five years. As the car sup ply Is somewhat less than the ca pacity requirements of the mines an output of 11,000.000 tons weekly of soft coal maintained during the banner producing months of the fall would be regarded as excellent. To meet industrial requirements, as the president's commission esti mates them, the soft coal mines must produce 8,000,000 tons weekly, plus about 15,000,000 tons for the middle west, which must move dur ing the open season for navigation on the Great Lakes, plus sufficient to stock up industries and the rail roads, with at least 30,000,000 tdns between now and cold weather. Thus with a top average of about 11,000,000 tons a week, the bitumi nous industry will face a demand when it resumes work which will be far beyond its powers to satisfy im mediately. Officials expect that coal consumers of all classes will flood the industry with orders, the total demand amounting to perhaps 200, 000.000 tons the day the miners go back to work. In the scramble to get coal the government expects to con tinue to direct distribution of . soft coal almost certainly. for six months and probably for a longer period. TRUCK PERMIT REVOKED LOG HAULING DlOES $6000 DAMAGE TO HIGHWAY. 30-Foot Panels on Oswego Road Broken Apart; Four Driv ers Are Prosecuted. OREGON CITY, Or., July 29. (Special.) The permit for hauling logs over the Pacific highway from the Boone's Ferry road to the site of the old smelter at Oswego was revoked yesterday by the state highway commission, following four prosecutions for overloading and the discovery that damage to the extent of from J5000 to $6000 had been done to, the new road. J. R Bembry of Corvallis, arrest ed at Oswego by Traffic Officer Browne, pid a $250 fine for over loading a truck 3500 -pounds. The case was heard before Judge E.,J. Noble. In Judge Savage's court at Oswego, P. W. Wentworth. R. H. Hopkins ana J. E. Campbell were fined $20, $25 and $50 on similar charges. The men were driving for George Heusner of Portland, whose permit to use the highway for haul ing was revoked. The drivers were arrested by State Traffic Officers Griffith and Browne, who found one of the trucks overloaded to the ex tent of 9400 pounds. On tne Oswego road, according to Browne, the hauling has broken apart practically all of the 38-foot panels on the road so that they rock back and forth for a distance of an inch or more. The pavement, of reinforced concrete, held to be the best in the state, has been broken in many places and the con dition became go bad that the people living in tne aistrict protested;.

DIVORCES IN PARIS W0BR16 FRENCH Foreigners Like Secrecy of Republic's Courts. LOCAL PUBLICITY BARRED Prominence of Americans Filing Pleas for Separation Held Cause of Notoriety. PARIS, July 2s.-(By the Asso ciated Press.) The Increasing num ber of divorces obtained in Paris by prominent Americans and other for eigners seeking relief from matri monial infelicity has led to many inquiries as to why the French capital apparently has become such an European Reno for discontented spouses. The .chief manet appear to d that divorce proceedings may be brought in French courts with silent ease and completed in secrecy, as publication of such proceedings by native newspapers is a criminal of fense on the ground of lowering public morala, . Recent publicity in the United States of divorces of Americans in Paris has caused apprehension among attorneys for others who have been contemplating divorce ac tion. Several cases of Americans are reported to have been taken to provincial cities, both for the still greater seclusion offeren ana Be cause the provincial court calendars are not so overcrowded as those in Paris. - Decrees Easy to Get. Provisional decrees usually may be obtained in France In from one to three months and the final de crees 60 days thereafter. The com plainant must establish residence in France, but a declaration that he in tends to stay Indefinitely or a year's lease on an apartment .is sufficient. If the defendant lives outside the country, as in the case of Americans, notice must be given tnrougn tne state department. There are three grounds ior m- vorce in France-. Adultery.- conviction of a reiony and cruelty, the last including either physical violence or mental anguish. Neither party to a divorce is al lowed to remarry in France witnm ten months. ; The whole divorce situation in France, from the American view point, is an abuse and a scanaai, said Charles F. Beach, an American lawyer, in Paris today. "There is no suggestion of Reno in the atti tude of the French courts, Dut French dudges are not aware or. tne advantage that is being taKen or. them by Americans who are pro curing divorces. These divorces are generally of no value in the United States, but Americans obtain them' and they may hold until their validity is contended. Any kind of rope of sand will hold until u s pulled." M. Lemeerieux, iirst assistant w Minister of Justice Barthou, said to day that France was a liberal coun7 try regarding divorces, having been the first continental country to grant them to foreigners, under the law of 1884, andthat possibly Paris was being visite'd for this purpose Just as Flume was such a resort for Italians because of te lacs oi a divorce law in Italy. i American View Unjust. M. Wells, director of civil affairs at the ministry of Justice, said he did not think it logical that France should be looked upon in the United States as a country where divorces could be easily obtained, since there were fewer legal grounds for di vorces here than in America. H. E. Barrault, a French advocate who has made inquiries into the number of divorces granted to Americans in French courts, says there have not been more than 20 in any one year, but that the di vorces, mostly were of prominent rich persons, which accounts for the great publicity given in the Ameri can press. This gives the appear ance of a much larger number of divorces, he said, than are really ob tained, because of the fact that practically all of them are striking personalities who merely find Paris a more pleasant, place to live than some American cities where dl? vorces would be as easily obtained. PHONE BOOST IS DENIED MICHIGAN UTILITIES BOARD TAKES DRASTIC ACTION. City Attorney Crant Says Manj Points In ' Eastern Decision Cover Oregon Hearing. In Michigan the state " public utilities commission has just met a plea of the Michigan State Tele phone, company for Increase" of rates by ordering marked reduc tions instead, according to advices reaching City. Attorney Grant. So similar were contentions there to those before the late Oregon com mission that, Mr. Grant was moved to comment on the situation yester day. "Reports of the recent decision of the Michigan public utilities com mission," he said, "in which tele phone rates were cut approximately 5 per cent outside the city of De troit, and 15 per cent in Detroit, is interesting inasmuch as the com mission agrees with some of the salient points contended for by the city of Portland in the telephone rehearing case, which led to the Automatic Refrigeration Capacity machines. 300 lb BOO lb lOOO IImu, 2OO0 3000 lb.

" 63 East 8th St., Near Oak PORTLAND, OREGON N Phone East 8072. drastic order by the public serVicef commission, on February 21 of this year, In which the people appearing against the telephone company were subjected to severe criticism. "This decision was the answer of the commission to the petition of the Michigan Telephone company for permission to establish permanent rates averaging an increase of more than 28 per cent. . " "In the decision, the commission disallowed the contract under which the American Telephone & Tele graph company takes 4 per cent Of the gross revenues of the Michl- I gan State Telephone company, and allows for the use of each telephone! instrument, and for additional serv ices, the sum of 90 cents a telephone a year. The Oregon commission in cluded the value of the telephone Instruments in its rate base, allow ing the Pacific Telephone & Tele graph company to earn a rate of re turn upon the value of the instru ments, as well as maintenance, de preciation and operation, and in ad dition thereto allowed 55 cents a station a year for the so-called spe cial services, which amounts to con siderably in excess of the amount al lowed by the Michigan commission. . 'In determining the rate base in the state of Michigan, the commis sion allowed a sum of $39,869,163, although the telephone company claimed the right to earn on a val uation of $75,000,000. The sum al lowed was more than $10,000,000 less than tne hook value of the property. The rate base was ar rived at by the commission refusing to permit the company to earn any return on its depreciation reserve of nearly $10,000,000. The commission allowed an annual depreciation, of 4 per cent The city ot Portland contended that all ' the depreciation reserve over and above 15 per cent of the depreciable property was a super surplus reserve. For , Instance,, our brief said: 'The city of Portland contends that the present annual allowance to provide for a reserve for depreciation is excessive and im poses an unduly heavy burden upon the revenues. - ' 'tit also contends that the bal ance in the reserve for depreciation is too large and should be substan tially reduced, and that this be ac complished by reducing the rate fcase by the amount of the super- surplus in the reserve and that the annual allowance be reduced to 2 per cent until such a time as the super-surplus in the reserve be con sumed, at which time the rate base will have automatically been re stored to its present status.' "This decision is another sub stantiation of the claims presented by the city of Portland. "A decision of the New York pub lic service commission, reducing the telephone schedules in the state of New York, also supported the. con tentions advanced by the city of Portland, in language almost ident 'cal with that used in the city's brief." - s FINAL EXAMINATIONS AT UNIVERSITY.
