Lewis Accepts
Mediation Offer
In Coal Strike
III, UnlM I'rn.)
John 1 Lewis agreed lo gov
ernment mediation i, the soft
coal strike today, but In the steel
walkout the government said It
would keep "hands off" for the
present.
'resident Trumnn said at a
news conference tbat neither
strike had reached the point
where It was necessary lor him
to Intervene personally.
Holh Lewis and the mine own
ers agreed to a conference with
federal mediators at Washington
tomorrow. Meanwhile, negotia
tions continued today.
Chief U.S. conciliator Cyrus
Chlng stepped Into the coal strike
after reporting that It was "ap
proaching a crisis and that some
suffering already has resulted.
resslmlsni Voiced
Despite the government move,
mine owners were pessimistic
about settlement prospects.
At Milwaukee officials of tlfr
CIO Gas workers union called off
a 23-hour strike which had cut
the flow of gas to Milwaukee
homes and industries.
The union agreed to end the
strike on the basis of a tentative
agreement providing wage in
creases and pensions. Authorities
had threatened to arrest' union
leaders and pickets for alleged
violation of the state's public
utility anti-strike law.
Chlng said the steel dispute
still had not reached the crucial
point at which it would be op
portune lo smooth the way for a
settlement.
Meanwhile, CIO stcelworkers
president I'hlllp Murray said Ihc

ation In agreeing to pay the full
costs of a (tension and welfare

Commerce secretary Charles
Sawyer said last night that de
spite the steel and coal strikes
which have thrown 1 ,250,000 em

say, the "blockout" should be a
real show, if weather conditions
are favorable, tor central ure-
gon (tartly cloudy skies and occa
sional showers nrs in prospect,
and there is a possibility that the
moon will beat least, temporarily
eclipsed by clouds, as well as by
the earth s shadow.
The moon will come over the
distant- Ochocos, as viewed from
Bend, partly in shadow, and Mill
remain In some phnse of shadow
until around midnight. However,
the total phase will last only one
hour and 13 minutes. Even when
In total eclipse, the outline of the
moon, like a brown orange, will
be visible.
As viewed from Bend, the total
eclipse will start at 6:20 shortly
after moonrlsc, and will last until
7:33. During the rest of Ihe eve
ning, the moon will be emerging
from eclipse, as It slowly slides
eastward out of the earth's sha
dow, some 210,000 miles distant
from this planet.
Bend amateur astronomers
plan to watch the eclipse from fie

water is low and the fish are
reservoir water is down to
about 800 acre fppt. lowpst in
recent years.
Major problem will be that
of spreading the derris root
compound, rotenone, through
Ochoco creek above the reser
voir and in tributaries of
Ochoco creek Marks creek, Mill
creek, Canyon creek and Wolf
creek. It is estimated there are
100 miles of tributary creeks
draining into the reservoir basin.
Will Treat Fools
In areas where streams are
flowing through the entire course,
the compound will be released up
stream and permitted to find its
way down through the basins. In
other creeks where the water is
not running, pools will have to be
treated separately. This will in
volve considerable work.
Native trash fish are in the' res
ervoir and tributary creeks, Boro
vicka reports. These include suck
ers and squaw fish. These trash
fish have increased so rapidly in
recent years that they have taken
over most of the natural feed of
trout.
The compound will be spread
through ponds with pumps and
other spray equipment. In the res
ervoir, the "poison" will be placed
in sacks and trailed over the wa
ter with boats.
Some Edible
Among fish coming to the sur
face will be some of edible varie
ties, Including an occasional trout,
biologists predict. These will be
good eating and it is expected
that many persons will be" out
from Prinevile to do a bit of "fish
ing." Biologists stress that the derris
root compound merely suffocates
the gill breathers and does not
poison them. Earlier in the seas
on, Big Lava lake and Little Cul
ms lake, in the upper Deschutes
area, were treated.
Hunters Return,
Mystery Solved
The case of the abandoned
hunters' camp at Three Creeks

identity of the nimrods who left
their camp bidding and two bucks
unattended for more than three
days remained unknown. Offi
cers R. J. Hafstad and Tony Plpllc
of the state police force, acting
on information that a camp had
been abandoned at Three Creeks
lake, with venison hanging under
the trees, visited the area yester
day afternoon. They found that
the hunters had returned, packed
up and had moved out.
Officers believe that the un

Moore, district attorney, against
Earl Haacke. 36, of Bend.
Haacke's 34-year-old wife was
found dead early Monday morn
ing in the couple's apartment at
54 Lake place. It was revealed
today that her death was prob
ably caused by Injuries to her

separated during the night and
when he arrived home about 2:15
Monday morning he found her
dead. He reported her death to
Bend police.

her, about the face and head with
his fists."
Community Chest
Drive Progresses
Deschutes county's 1949 Com
munity chest campaign moved
into high gear this week in Bend,
with service club teams making
every effort to complete their
work and submit final reports
to headquarters, in the chamber
of commerce office. Volunteers
representing the Kiwanis, Rotary
and Lions clubs are assisting in
the campaign in downtown Bend.
In addition to funds being ob
tained by solicitors, volunteer
contributions are being received
at headquarters. One of the Indi
vidual contributions amounted to
S75, and was unsolicited, it was
announced.
Groups that have contributed
100 per cent to the Community
chest include the Bend teachers,
numbering more than 100, and
all courthouse employes. A num
ber of 100 per cent contributions
have been received from business
firms.
Redmond Delayed
Because qf the hospital cam
paign now under way In that
city, Redmond is not to launch
its Community chest campaign
until November 1, it was an
nounced today.
Present plans are not to con
duct a house-to-house campaign
in downtown Bend, inasmuch as
most people will be reached
through the mills or business
houses.
It is planned to prepare a re
port on contributions received so
far, and this will be available in
the next few days. Elmer V. Ward,
president of the Deschutes coun
ty Community chest, and Ernie
Traxler, are heading up this
year's campaign in Bend, aided
by service club leaders.

mountain told him they heard an
explosion about 10:30 a.m.

But W. Russell Starr, chief
negotiator, denied Bridges'
claims.
Honolulu, T.H., Oct. 6 UPV An
employer spokesman today con
firmed an announcement by un
ion chief Harry Bridges that a
settlement had been reached in
the 159-day-old strike.
"No settlement has been reach
ed," Star said. "The union made
off-the-record proposals for set
tlement at 14 cents and also pro
posed that seven additional cents
be agreed lo be effective six
months from now and an exten
sion of the contract for 21 months.
Under Consideration
"These proposals are under
consideration by the companies
but no agreement has been
reached."
The long walkout which began
May 1 was estimated to have
cost the territory and its people
more than 5100,000,000 by the end
of September. The union origin
ally went on strike alter demand
ing a 32-cent an hour increase.
The last employer offer before
the strike began was a 12-cent

settlement.
"The longshore contract will be

will be rehired without 'discrimin

on wage increases for non-steve

Bridges added.
"The whole settlement, of
course, is subject to approval of
the membership of the union.
Walkout Costly

first called by Bridges' Interna

lands and was marked by bitter
charges of union busting from
labor leaders and claims that the

Meters Would Not Increase
Water Costs, Mayor Declares
A brief discussion of water
rates, in the event meters ever
are installed here, and routine
action on street and sidewalk im
provement petitions, constituted
the main business transacted
Wednesday evening by tha city
commission. All members were
in attendance.
Mayor T. D. Sexlon raised the
meter question, when he remark
ed that many Bend residents are
under a misapprehension in re
gard to potential rates. '
"If the Bend water department
is budgeted for $110,000, as now
is the case, any application of
meter rates would be adjusted to
raise this amount," the mayor
explained. "Many persons assume
that meters would be a revenue
boosting expedient. This is not
true. Under the present flat rate
system heavy users of water pay
no more than small consumers.
Under meters, those using the
most would pay the most and
those who conserved water would
pay the least probably far less
than now."
In Hand of Committee
There was no indication that the
city commission is considering
early Installation of meters. Rath
er the entire water issue has been
placed in the hands of an advis
ory committee of citizens, which
will explore the situation fully
and report back to the commis
sion at a later date, with recom
mendations. Other action taken last night:
' Approved, on final reading, the
bicycle ordinance, which provides
for licensing of all bicycles oper
ated in Bend. Commissioner
Ralph Bailey said that he wished
parents would realize that the
dangerous practice of two or
more children riding bicycles built
for one passenger, will be illegal.

Heard a report from W. O.
Cuthbertson, city manager, to the
effect that some 50 or more addi

this year's budget, and that instal

Approved a request by the Bend
chamber of commerce that $1500

Petitions Reed
A petition was read, asking the
city to level and ditch Roanoke
avenue from West Fifth street to
the end of the avenue. Signers
complained that run-off water
gets onto their lawns and into
their basements. Cuthbertson said
he would see what could be done
to remedy this condition.
A petition for installation of
sidewalks on the east side of
Third street, from Hawthorne to
Greenwood, was approved. Esti
mates of costs will be submitted
to the petitioners before work is
undertaken, however, to make cer
tain they wish to go ahead with
the project.
A petition by residents on Har
