JHE OREGON SUNDAY ' - JOURNAL v PORTLAND SUNDAY MORNING, AUGUST 13, 1922. in K PRESIDENT SHOWS CONCERN ' OVER COAL STRIKE : Calvin Coolidge Reticent About i Politics and Expresses N i Anxiety About Rail Situation i '(Can tinned From Pan OtmO walkouts. "Wherever we go we always hear that conditions are ' wcwae than where we are. "There had been every proepect a speedy settlement of the rail . strike before we lett Washington hut " and the vice presidents voice., trailed off After a long- period during which bis gaze was focused at a bit of thread which he held In his fingers he vol untarily changed the subject to the coal strike, .saying : "We had rather looked for an ad justment of the coal strike by this time, too. So far" as the railroads are concerned, they have a tribunal, hut the coal mines have no such body to handle adjustment -questions. , So far as I know there is no national law that can be invoked to aid in the set tlement of the coal strike,' but I have see a statement in the newspapers that the president likely would take up, this matter with congress soon.V j i The vice president seemed to have In mind the. fact that the admlnistri tion should Jhave some law to invoke in the matter of the coal strike arid be repeated that he knew of no wy for the government to reach into the situation. He continued: i "The mining of coal has been con sidered a local matter, under the juris diction of the state, and the govern ment has no control until the coal Is on cars and moving in interstate commerce." i CAUTIOUS ON POLITICS . j Questions in regard to tariff leg-tola tkm and politics were answered de liberately and cautiously by the vice president, in 'much the same manner sls he discussed the strike situation. He said that he understood that the tariff would come up for a vote this week. Aside from commenting upon the Pennsylvania primary, the result of which, he said, "came from a split in the conservative Penrose organisa tion," and merely' touching upon the Indiana primary by saying that Bev eridge was a man of long-standing reputation who was placed against a. man who was not on the ground, air. Coolidge would not discuss the Pro gressive movement farther f This man, who is second lis rank only to President Harding assured his , interviewers that business conditions throughout the country were good jde spite the strikes. He said that trade publications and statistics bore out this belief and that there was in reality a shortage of labor willipg to work for a fair wage in the country. i Mr. Coolidge expressed keen interest in the politics of this state and ques tioned about the split ' existing in the Republican party here. He lauded! the states representatives. '; particularly Senators McNary and Stanfield-jand said that he saw K. J. Adams, secre tary to Stanfleld. Quite often and twaa in touch in a slight way with condi tions in the Northwest. Employment and business conditions, the strike! and Portland's shipping- were other ques tions which he desired " answered The train was 4Q minutes late, ajpart of which time 'was" lost through special . stops along the line in Oregon, j He appeared and shook hands with crowds at Medford. Ashland, Grants Pass, Itoseburg, Eugene, Albany and Salem. The vice president? characterized his trip through the state as pleasant and refreshing and the temperature as re . markably comfortable. He had never been farther West than Arizona before this trip and said that he had been trying to get out West for two years. ago The party left Boston a week Friday. ' The Coolidges will be here Wednesday morning. The three will be fairly busy days for thei Of the senate, with dinners, luncheons, speeches and statue-ceremonies. j until days boss EUGENE GIYES COOLIDGES ' ENTHUSIASTIC WBtCOME - Eugene, Aug. 12. Vice President Cal vin Coolidge, Mrs. Coolidge and their two sons were the guests of Eugene for a brief time this afternoon,, while passing through on the Shasta Limited to Portland, where they will j spend the next three days. j Greeted at the depot by -a. crowd of 600 or 600 people, they were shown the city from the top of Skinner! butte, immediately north of the depot. From that eminence they got a glimpse of Eugene, the University of Oregon and the fruitful upper Willamette j valley. The trip was' made by automobile with motorcycle escort, while the j Shasta limited, through courtesy of Southern Pacific officials, waited about SO min utes In the yards, although a half hour late arriving. j Coolidge was slated for a , speech from the observation platform; of the ' train.- but because of a mlxup in trains on the tracks by the depot, this was not delivered. J The noted visitor expressed himself as pleased with the reception, and with the meas of 20 fine red-siBe trout " fresh from the McKenzie rivet-, which he was Presented with. j -, Mrs. Coolidge was made happy with a bouquet of choice blooms. jThe re ception was under the auspices of the Eugene Chamber of Commerce.

Mrs. Coolidge Is Gracious Vivacious in Conversation Mrs. Coolidge and the vice president present a fine "study in opposites." She is delightfully ' vivacious and an animated conversationalist, but she is said to have been wooed and won with fewer words than ever before on rec ord, for the vice president is known as the master of brevity. An ideal second lady of the land such is the impression gained in meet ing Mrs. Coolidgfe for as. she stepped from the Shasta her face lit up witk pleasurable anticipation and she greet ed everyone presented to her with a warmth and cordiality that immediate ly won them. A charming type of the twentieth century r New ngland ma tron, she was becomingly gowned in a smart tailored suit of rust colored cloth with which she wore a wide brimmed brown straw hat feather trimmed. A large corsage bouquet of sweet peas completed the costume. Mrs. Coolidge ia conceded to be one of the best dressed women in Wash ington, but she tacitly admits her dis tinguished husband deserves 'much of the credit. . QCESTIOJT IS PARRIED Mrs. Coolidge parried the ' direct question. suggested by , journalistic Washington gossipers at the time of the presidential election as to whether her husband actually picks out her clothes. "That's really a leading question,, ehe laughed. But she did not deny it. The vice president declares that his wife's favorite pastime is eating lob sterwill Portland hostesses to -Mrs. Coolidge 'please take notice. Although her official position re quires much time, Mrs. Coolidge is devoted to her two sons, John and Cal vin Jr., and both she and the vice president are real chums with the boys.

Calvin Coolidge is Just what his name implies a sturdy son C, New England, unassuming, almost taciturn, endowed with a singleness of purpose and the same determination that gave his ancestors, John and Mary Coolidge, the courage to make themselves a home in, the -wilderness of forest that was MassachusettakJtn, 1630. , Born on a farnv the son' of a prosper ous farmr near. Plymouth. Vermont, Coolidge spent his early youth ' much as any other fanner's son. in doing the chores about the farm. His ambitions, however, did not lead him to follow the footsteps of his father, and the lat ter, with the wisdom of one who under stands, encouraged and assisted young Coolidge in': his plans, to enter college. Coolidge was born on Independence day, 1873, a coincidence which his ad mirers say gave him the singleness of purpose and Yankee obstinacy charac teristic of the man. 'Svvi' STUDIED AT AMHERST ilistory and . affairs of , government were subjects of intense interest r to Coolidge eve a when a boy. He spe cialised in these subjects at Amherst college and graduated lit the class of 1895. In his senior year -b won first honors, a gold medal offered by the Sons of the American -Revolution, for the best essay by an undergraduate of an American -college on the principles of the War for American Independence. After studying law for less than two years in a small office at Northampton, Mass Coolidge- was admitted to the bar. . . He took a prominent part in : the city1 . government, being elected to the dty ceuncil and later was elected to the Massachusetts-house of representa tives. He was mayor of Northampton in 1910 and 1911, and later was elected to the state senate, in which he served four years. 1 His participation in the government of his state was the first step in Coolldge's 'political career. After , serving in the senate, he was elected lieutenant governor and held office for three years until he was elected governor in 1919. He was re elected In 1920. His firm stand for law and order during the police strike in Boston brought Coolidge national recognition, and was the most significant incident in his1 career and the first step toward the place of honor to which he has been elected. i A CtEAB TEI9XEB '. . ,: Coolidge does not answer the descrip tion of the popular conception of a pol itician. He. Is reserved, even. shy. As a speaker it is what Coolidge has to say and the very- apparent air of personal conviction that holds his audience and makes up for what he lacks in tricks of oratory. As a politician he showed none of the traditional traits bluster and extravagant promises nor did he indulge in bitter personalities, i His criticism Is calculated to be construct ive rather than destructive and i he propounds his Ideas : of government upon his principle that "there j will come out of government what is: put into it." ' . ' U Away from the glare of publio -life, the 'vice president lives the quiet life of the average American citizen. 1 He is devoted to his home and family, and is the most important member in the councils of his two sons. It was while studying law in North Ungton, Vt,. They were married in then Miss Grace A. Goodhue of Bur ampton that Coolidge met his wife, 1905. i Autumns Carnival of .
