The evening' fun centered about the departure of the old administration and the inaugura tion of the new. Guests entered through an ante chamber converted into a scene reminiscent of the Florida trip of the president. No sooner were the guests seat ed than (he tramping of heavy feet and the rattling of dinner pails was heard. The presiding of ficer demanded an explanation. - "That dismal sound. Mr. Presi dent," came,, the answer, "is the democrats going to work." An early feature was the inaug uration with "simplicity and econ omy" of N. O. Messenger of the Washington Evening Star as pres ident of the club. "How much did that Inaugura tion cost?" was demanded. "S-s-t-h-h-h," was the reply. "Thirty cents, but don't tell Senator Borah." The dinner was interrupted by a steamboat whistle and the ring ing of bells. "What's, all this racket?" was asked. "Senator Frellnghuygen's yacht, i (Continued on page 2.)

Now, therefore, be it known that plans have been perfected for a thorough clean-up campaign in Salem, Oregon, to begin Monday, April 11, 1921 the date to mark the opening of a real drive of persistent and con structive effort in cleaning up, and that I respectfully urge every citizen, meri, women and childrenLto do his part in the furtherance of this worthy movement, and that I further urge the pastors of all churches, the teachers of all schools and the presiding officers of all lodges and other organized bodies to bring this matter to the attention of their respective organizations in or der that we may have unanimous and concerted action in this effort to make Salem clean, wholesome, thrifty, safe and beautiful.

"Refuse must be placed In re ceptacles to expedite its handling by the street department, and on all alleys running east and west the refuse must be placed at the west end of the alley, and in all . alleys running north and south the refuse must be placed at thr , north end of the alley. "On Thursday. April 14, the trucks will cart away the refuse I CHURCH DEDICATED SIXTEEN YEARS AGO REV. tr. TtANTKKft Yesterday marked the 16th an niversary of the dedication of the First Congregational church of this -ity. It is rather unusual that after 1C years, the same pastor who served the church at th? time of dedication should still be serving. Though Itev. William C. Kantner. the present paMor, has filled other pulpits since that time in x utile and Portland, the Salem charge has b"tn given a great part of his attention. The Oregon Statesman dated April 9. 1905, in a story of the dedication, commend the work of Dr. Kantner in the following: "Rev. W. C. Kantner. the pas tor of the new church, and un der whose direction and untiring energv and indefatigable purpose the church has- grown to its pres ent magnificent proportions in this city the past 11 years, will be master of ceremonies. To Dr. Kantner Salem is home, and he has resisted faithfully all eforts to induce him to leave for other fields of labor." The building committee who bore the burden of the work of const ruction was D. .7. Fry. R. B. Fleming. Ii. R. Duncan, Joel Hew itt and C. E. Fuller. CHI.V. RKL1KF FIXD NEW YORK. April 9.

CONFERENCE CALLED UNCONDITIONALLY Premier Lloyd George Confi dent There Will Be No General Strike I.ONOON, April 9. The coal mine strike, which threatened to carry wiih it a strike of the railr waymen and transport worlTer.;. seems to be in a fair way of set tlement through negotiation. After all-day conferences and !"'-rvWH. when it was supposed that all efforts to move tne min ers had proted ineffectual, it was suddenly announced that the min ers had yielded and that a con ference with the coal owners had been arranged for Monday. Notices were sent to the myiing districts urging abstention from action which would Interfere with measures for the safety of the mines. The only explanation available as to what induced the miners the assent to steps assuring safe ty ot the mines is the statement of Frank Hodges, secretary of tne miners' union "the conference was arranged unconditionally." Whether the rumors that the government is willing that the wage question should be adjusted on a national basis may be neld to explain the change in the situation is unknown. If. as Mr. Hod god suggested, the government and mine owners have agreed to an unconditional conference, that would be sufficient to induce the miners to yield the pumping point. In any case the unexpect ed agreement gives the liveliest hope that a countrywide struggle will be averted. Arthur Henderson, labor leader although not personally con cerned in today's meeting with Premier Lloyd-George, tonight was. confident that there will be no general strike Tuesday. The executive committee of the triple alliance after a conference with the premier issued this state ment tonight: It has been agreed that "The government shall sum mon a conference of representa tives of the miners' federation and the coal owners Monday and. the miners' federation shall issue notices to the federation's branch es, urging miners to abstain from action interfering with the meas ures necessary for ensuring safe ty of the mines or necessitating the use of force by the govern ment." J. II. Thomas, secretary of the national union r railwaymen. said the statement was the result of negotiations between the rail waymen. transport workers and the government and had been ac cepted by the miners. The triple alliance will remain in session during the negotia tions.

Linn. A. X. Pierce, manager of the hostelry, and the Mat ion gi eeters at a banquet. While a majority of the hotel pioprietors and jrreeters came from Portland, not a few of their number are residents of more dis tant points of the state. As the hosts had proposed, practically all of the guests were accompanied by their wires, and in some in stances the entire family was brought along. Tribute Paid by Governor. Governor Olcott. in an address welcoming the hotel men, paid tribute to the part they hid played in the development of the stat", and said it was through their eforts that thousands of newcomers had been made per manent residents of Oregon. "The hotel proprietor, as a rule, occupies a unique position in the commercial world." said the gov ernor. "It is he or his aides who first welcome the visitor to Oregon, and upon him rests much of the tesponsibillty in making our state attractive." Governor Olcott said it had been bis experience that the hotel man always could be depended upon to do his share in any em ergency that may arise. Mayor Halvorsen concurred in the statements of Governor Ol cott, and spoke in laudatory terms of the hotel keeper. "The hotel Is . the traveler's home," said Mayor Halvorsen, "and should be made as pleasant and attractive as possible." As a class. Mayor Halvorsen Baid. the hotel proprietors and their assistants probably had done more toward the upbuilding and development of the btate than any other rank of citizens. Iut lAH,k IMeasant. T. K. McCroskey, recretary of tlilf Sal"ni Commercial club, lik ened the hotel keeper to the man in j quest of success in the other important lines of commercial ac tivity. "The hotel man is always on the job." said Mr. McCroskey "and it is his greeting iliat fre quently results in attracting per manent residents. I'nlike th merchant, the hotel keeper must be a walking encyclopedia, hav ing at his tongue's end an un limited supply of information and a smile that is inviting and in keeping wiih his position.

Fi nancially and economically the world situation improved but little In March, according to cabled summaries received today by the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce from its trade cortimis Fioners anil commercial attaches. In Europe tight money, unem ployment and unsatisfactory in dustrial and shipping conditions were in evidence while some de clines in prices and slight revival of building activities were noted. In the east the situation was de scribed as somewhat easier while in South America conditions were reported as practically unchanged. Commercial Attache Dennis re ported business depression in Great Britain had increased ow ing to the prospective failure of an early Fettlement with Germany on reparations. The Russian trade agreement is not expected appre ciably to benefit business, be add ed, and traders are holding off to .secure assurance as to the legality of payment. American imports into France continue to show marked reduc tions, Commercial Attache Hunt ington at Paris reyorted. Refusal of Germany to pay irtsta llnrents ; due on reparations contributed to a dull financial market. The pit- J nation also was described as in lluenced by the Upper Silesian ple biscite, the British coal strike and the situation in Hungary. Com mercial .attache Gross of Brussels declared high exchange rates and unsatisfactory business conditions continued to impede revival of the sale of American goods in Bel gium.
