that it is Ineffective and waste

stands.
Disarmament In Prospect
"The world is looking to the

definite action on the disarma

some favorable conclusion that

a great step toward peace and

already In the field, working for
the people of Oregon. These are
of the most outstanding meas

MeXary and liawley Praised
Congressman vMc Arthur "speaks

and had a commending place to
make the measure a success. He
is a fast-growing, commanding
figure in the national capitol, says
his compatriot of the lower house.
Congressman Hawley, too, as
chairman of the' sab-committee

McArthur Amendment Progre
. ': I '. ips '
Congressman McArthnr has bad
one hearing before the committer
on elections on his constitutional
amendment to establish January
as the time for the beginning and
end ; of the national year. The
presidential term and the term of
congress would begin and end
at that time, colsely following the
November, elect.on. He is prom
ised another bearing, and the
measure, bids fair to meet a gen
eral acceptance. A fair estimate
of. the value rf this change this
year is that it would have been
worth a billion, or ten billion,
dollars to America to have chang
ed at once from the old to the
new, following the election last
November.
The new tariff bill, the revenue
bill, the army and navy bill, al
most every one of these important
national measures could have
been passed and put out of ' the
way before the coming of winter
with its unemployment, its un
certainty, its distress. The meas
ure has come to be almost a na
tional necessity, and It is believ
ed that, whatever have been the
facts of previous measures for the
same import, this time it is on the
straight road to passage.

Trouble In South
G0MPERS ; IS RIDICULED
Coercive Policy of Labor Or
ganizations is Lambasted
By Operator
WASHINGTON, Sept, 5. Unit
ed Mine Workers officials are
charged with responsibility "for
the Invasion of Logan county and
proposed invasion of Mingo coun
ty by armed miners," in a state
ment issued, tonight by Harry
Olmstead, chairman of the opera
tors' association of the William
sou field. The statement was de
clared to be in answer to that of
Samuel Gompers, which Mr. Olm
stead described as hypocritical
and in many instances false and
misleading.
Mine guards and private de
tectives are not employed by op
erators in the Williamson field,
Mr. Olmstead said, adding that
Mr. Gompers "aad 'deliberately
misrepresented conditions." The
charge of Mr. Gompers that the
uprising had been caused by the
failure of the operators to put
into effect the award of the gov
ernment wage board was charac
terized as "another falsehood."
" No Objection, Claim
. The mine operators were under
no obligatlon'to do so," the state
ment said, "they having no con
nection with the coal fields cov
ered by that award.
"Nevertheless, the Increases al
lowed by the United States gov
ernment were adopted In this field
promptly after the amount of in
crease had been fixed. It has
never before been alleged that the
strike was due to wage adjust
ments or any causes other than to
compel recognition of the United
Mine Workers' organization.
"Coal is measured rather than
weighed in this field. The men
have never asked to have the sys
tem changed.
Outlaws Illametl
"Mr. Gompers malces himselt
Hdleulous to Vest Virginians
when he .makes his plea about the
miners protesting against lawless
ness, insofar, at least as he refers
to the United Mine Workers. The
miners are generally law abiding.
Every disorder that has occurred
In, the mining fields of West Vir
ginia has been occasioned by the
thugs and -outlaws of the United
Mine Workers' organization who
came to compel unionization of
these fields."
"The invasion of Logan county
and the threatened invasion of
Mingo eounty was threatened by
the -United Mine Workers' organ
ization in the Williamson field as
early as April and May, 1920.
Officers Not Needed
"In the counties of Logan and
Mingo, West Virginia, and Pike
county, Kentucky, having an ag
gregate area of 1,633 square
miles, there were not employed
as many of 100 peace officers
prior to the invasion by the or
ganization of the? United Mine
Workers.
"They were not needed.
, "Not any of these peace offi
cers were Baldwin-Felts employes
but included only regularly chos
en deputy sheriffs and constables
and other officials.
Coercive Methods Hit.
; "When the United' Mine Work
ers of America was formed in
1890,' it was recognized as a law
ful organization and continued as
such until 1898,. when they en
tered into a conspiracy with the
central competitive field to con
trol the bituminous coal market
of the United States.
Since -1912, it has been the
policy of the United Mine Work
ers to compel, hy the use of force
in every conceivable way, all per
sons engaged In the mining indus
try, to join the union and it has
likewise been its policy to destroy
all business of nonunion opera
tors, the end of which would mean
subjection of the coal industry of
the United States to such, unjust
and unlawful demands as it might
desire to put into- force."

Reissbeck Makes Another
Get-away From. Officers
Where does Oliver Heissbeck

Salem officers? This is the ques

Saturday night the police re

whose name several times during
the past years has graced the lo

turbance at a local confectionery.
Officer White responded to the
call and took Reissbeck into cus

aged to wrench away from the pa
