WASHINGTON, July 20. De-
velopment "of plana for stretching
out the nation'! coal supply, now
dwindling under continued impact
of the mine and railroad strikes,
was the immediate . concern . of
. federal Officials meting in the In
dustrial r situation. Secretary
Hoover announced that within a
day or two the Interstate com
merce commission and the com-
, merce department would put Into
operation , a scheme of . diverting
to essential , transportation lines
the coal coming from non-union
mines' and those that may . open
up in union territory, but use of
priority orders governing ; trans
portation.' Next in order for coal supply
from ; the , diminished output, i it
was indicated, would be the nor
thern Great Lakes ports, and
should ft be found Impossible to
avert a shortage the coal distri
bution plan might be expanded to
become a complete rationing of
supply to other industries and ter
ritories as necessities might ap
pear. ' ' '
Coal' Shortage Expected
Attorney 'General Daugherty
said that the strike disruptions
already made it -eertaln that there
would be a coal shortage ' next

said, have risen to levels higher

There will be no hailing into court of anybody for chang
ing his political registration on primary election day, accord
ing to the Marion county circuit court in the Coster-Olcott
contest
- Thursday afternoon, Judges Bingham and Kelly rendered
their opinion on the motion of the Olcott counsel, to strike
out the charges relating to re-registration, from the Coster
(Hall) complaint. They hold that as the law definitely sanc
tions re-registration, and as it makes the election board reg
istration officials, and as these election officers live and
function Jbut for a single day -election1 day -all registration
that cornea to them of necessity must come on that day
only; there is no prohibition of re-registering to change
one's politics, and these officers must act this one day or
not at alt; therefore, the court can not interfere with theii
operations
The case will now go on for
hearing on Tuesday, July 25.
when the contestee will file an
answer to the other charges In
the original complaint. By agree
ment, these other charges-: were
held to be matters of fact, to be
tried out as other cases are tried,
on evidence. This first item was
a matter of law, for the court to
decido whether it was a proper
subject for litigation. The decis
ion of the court is that it is not
proper; so all the evidence? gath
ered as to such alleged violations
Of the law, will be dropped.
Court Haa No Jurisdiction
From the first, it was held de
batable whether this particular
line of evidence could get into
court. Both legal and lay opin
ion was divided; the prosecution
tried it out, to get a judicial de
termination which now stands.
Judge Kelly, with a twinkle in his
eye, remarked "Wlith the wisdom
of the law. we hare notbilng to
Ho." !
This rejection of mere re-regis
tration as a cause for action, does
not bar action lor fraudulent reg
istration such as the registering
of aliens, or persons not citizens
of Oregon. . Should there be
found such cases, they can "be pro
secuted without regard to this de
cision, which merely concerns the
registration of qualified electors:
The prosecution, however, had a
large number of re-registrations
and had been hoping to bring
them to the public notice; espec
ially a few prominent Democrats
of Oregon whom they wanted to
get Into the record.
Trial to Take Eight Weeks
The court's decision was re
ceived by W. S. U'Ren of Port
land, counsel for the contestant,
and by Roy Shields of Salem, for
the contestee. There was no ar
gument as to the findings.
A debate over the time the case
may require, however, brought
out the statement by j Attorney
U'Ren. that it would " probably
take three to four weeks to pre
sent their evidence. ) Attorney
Shields for the Olcott forces, stat
ed that it ought to take him at
least Out long. With the neces
sary interruptions, this would mn
the case through most of Septem
ber, at best; with a decision only
a few weeks before tie general
election in November, i
The Phex eases that have been
pending for two weeks and' de
ferral because of this gubernator
ial contest, will be started on
Monday. July 24, though it Is ex
pected that they will have to be
dropped when the contest fight
begins on the 25th. The Olcott
answer, on the 25th, may go di
rectly into the trial of the cause,
and there will be no intermission.
The Phex matter, however, were
so urgent that the court is to give
them a start, even for only the
one day.

Federal Prohibition Agent
Would Put Distiller in
Class With Crook
When the bootlegger and moon
shiner is put in the same class
with other criminals; when he is
photographed and put through
the Bertillon course and all data
concerning him placed in the
the hands of every law enforce
ment officer in the country, then
will the prohibition law violator
realize that he is up against the
-wall and he will soon abandon
his nefarious pursuit.
Such is the opinion of Dr. J. A.
Linville. federal prohobitlon en
forcement agent for Oregon, who
was in Salem yesterday.
It was Dr. Linville, who, in ad
dressing the Washington and Ida
ho state sheriffs' convention,
urged that legislation be put
through in every state whereby
the bootlegger would be classi
fied the same as a second-story
worker or yegg.
Then, should the law violator
move from one county or state to
another, the officers in the new
territory which the man inhabits
wilt have all information possible
on him.1 They will know at once
concerning his past record and
will be able to deal with him ac
cordingly. Several attempts have been
made In the past to deport all
bootleggers and moonshiners who
are not citizens of the United
States upon their being convicted
for violating the prohibition law.
Such a movement, however,- has
not' haf the desired effect, and
the peddlers of "moon," of whom
fully 75 per cent are not citizens,
go ' on their way rejoicing after
paying a small fine, or possibly
a' light jail sentence.
Dr. Linville praised the hearty
co-operation which the sheriff's
office of Marion bounty and all
other counties in the state extend
to him In trying to eliminate the
manufacture of moonshine from
Oregon. He recalled that it was
only a short time ago when the
majority of, officers in all the
states looked - upon thfe federal
prohibition enforcement agents as
"gum-shoers" only waiting for a
chance to pounce onto the civic

National Settlement Basis
on Which Workers Will
Act, Declares Jewell
CHICAGO, July 20 (By the
Associated Press) With all peace
negotiations in the country-wide
strike of railway shopmen ap
parently at a standstill today, at
tention was directed tonight to the
possibility of government . Inter
vention and action of individual
railroads in seeking separate set
tlements with' their men.
The Baltimore and Ohio rail
road posted notices today that
since the Chicago conciliation ef
forts had failed, it was "now rea
dy to confer with Its to en," in an
effort to settle the difficulties and
expressed confidence that an
agreement could be reached.
Roads of the northwest are re
ported to have been negotiating
for a settlement in that section for
the fast ten days and a southern
railway was said today to be pur
suing a similar course.
Settlement lUtffe Talked
B. M. Jewell, head of the shop
crafts in past statements bad
maintained that any settlement
must be on a national basis, al
though he has encouraged his gen
eral chairmen' to confer with the
carriers when the roads requested
such conference. At strike .head
quarters tonight it was said that
Mr. Jewell might have , a state
ment tomorrow. -
Eastern executives meeting in
New York today issued a state
ment reiterating their contention
that the strike is aimed at the
government and not at the rail
roads. No indication of peace over
tures from any source were to be
seen here today. Rail executives,
labor board members and union
officials were silent.
Clerks on the Chesapeake and
Ohio railroad went on strike and
strike ballots were ordered sent
to clerks and freight handlers on
the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul
road.
More Railroaders Quit
A group of new shop employes
at the South Chicago shops of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad also
quit work and it was announced
that clerks on the Chicago and
Northwestern road are awaiting
the result of conferences between
George A. Worrell of the clerks'
organization and Frank Walters,
general manager of the road. The
unions presented a compromise
propos:tioh after the clerks had
voted to strike and the road of
ficials promised an answer to
morrow. If this is unfavorable,
union leaders said the 7,300 mem
bers of the union on the road
would quit work as strike sanc
tion had been given.
Troops Ordered Ont
HARPvISBTJRG, Pa.. July 20.
Troops were ordered out by Gov
ernor William C. Sproal tonight
for duty in the southwestern
Pennsylvania bituminous coal
fields. At the same time the gov
ernor issued a proclamation Call
ing on the people of Pennsylvania
to cooperate with the president
of the United States In the effort
to produce coal and avert a na
tional peril, and to preserve law
and order.
The Pennsylvania's controversy
with' the labor board dates back
to the so-called abrogation of the
national agreements when the la
bor board ordered the roads and
their employes to negotiate new
rules end to refer those on which
no agreement was reported back
loathe labor board for adjustment.
In preparing to make new rules
the employes of the roads, were
authorized to send out ballots for
a vote on wh'o should represent
them in the negotiations.
Today's decision by the federal
court of appeals, reverses the ac
tion of the lower court and up
holds the labor board. It was an
nounced a ten page opinion in
support of the decree would be

County Court to Order
Stamping Out of All Wot
ous Weeds on Hghways
An official campaign against
weeds is now in progress in Mar
ion county. This week, Judge
Bushey tRsued a proclamation
calling for the cutting of a num
ber of noxious weeds, among
them being the Canada thistle.
the Russian thistle, the Chinese
thistle or Jib Hill Mustard, the
cockle burr, the silver salt bush,
and quack grass. Of all these,
the Canada thistle is held to be
the worst, the most persistent,
the easiest to spread and about
the hardest to kill.
This campaign is aimed prim
arily for the control of the high
ways; though it may legally ex
tend to any weedy fields that are
allowed to infest the neighbor
hood. Work has already com
menced in some of the highway
districts, where the property own
ers are at work cutting the nox
ious weeds along their places
The legal notice has two weeks
to run before the officers can act
in cases where the property own
ers fail or refuse to clean up. J
A very large number- of Jtbe
Marion county grain fields show
a heavy infestation of the Can
ada thistle; and : only ' vigorous
cultivation methods will eradicate
the 'pest.
