Violt?e Reported
By United
Union leaders claimed
two tmrds ot the bituminous coal miners m the country,
had responded to the strike call, effective last midnight.
xnis rigure represents practically
the entire union membership. ' The
operators generally made no estimate
of the number of men out in their
respective districts. In the few in
stances where they did, their figures
wexe much lower than union claims,
though in one or two. cases the rival
estimates agreed.
Lenders Cannot Act.
Although officials of the United
Mine Workers were technically re
strained from directing the strike by
the restraining order Issued yesterday
in the Indianapolis federal court, the
miners apparently were sufficiently
instructed to initiate the strike with
out further orders today.
The latest step in government coal
distribution was the appointment by
Rail Director, Hines of committees to
take charge of this work in the eight
regional railway districts, with head
quarters in New York, Boston, Phil
adelphia, Atlanta, Pittsburgh, Cleve
land Chicago and St, Louis.
Federal troops were mobilized at
strategic points, ready to act immed
iately in case of any" disorder.
Walkout General.
The unions claimed more than 100,
000 miners walked out in the Pitts
burgh and Clearfield districts of west
ern Pennsylvania. Operators counter
ed with the claim that 40,000 non
union miners in the Connellsville re
gion remained at work.
Other union claims were:
Central Illinois districts, 80,000 out;
Kansas districts, 12,000 out; OMo and
West Virginia districts, 45,000 to 50,-

Race Turns Kid
for Night; Cops
None the Wiser
Kids will be kids, but sometimes old
men and women get the childish habit
too. ,
Last night, as witches and goblins
resigned over the countryside, Karl
Race, police judge and city recorder,
with Mrs. Race, donned flowing robes
and armed with jack o' lanterns and
candy and nick-nacks, sneaked from
house to house in Yew Park and
played the most "kiddish" pranks.
He denied that he soaped windows,
or that he played noisy tunes with tick
tacks on his neighbors windows. In
fact, this morning, he wouldn't make I
any direct statements as to what he
did. -
One thing unfortunate about Mrs.
ng, "is that we were kids once, and we
know."
No repcrt had been received by po
lice yet today of a gray-haired man act
ing' strangely In the Yew Tark dis
trict, so the recorder was chuckling
contentedly this morning.
Monday Coldest
October Day In
Fourteen Years
Oregon's Boldest snap for October in
14 years occurred this past month
when the mercury dropped to 19 de
grees above zero on the night of the
27th.
This unusual wave of coldness
struck the Willamette valley as the tail
of the cold snap which has just pass
ed over eastern Oregon and other
rorthwestern states. While no great
damage -resulted from the frosts on the
25th, 26th, 27th and 28th, late vege
tables, tomatoes and grapes suffered
severely and the gathering of the re
maining apple crop was hastened con
siderably.
Not only is October of this year un
usully cold but it is also the driest of
all the October months since 1907. The
total precipitation for October of this
year was 1.42 inches and .86 inches for
October of 1A07.
Although there has been but little
rainfall all except 9 days of the month
hav5 been cloudy or partly so and
when old Sol did appear at his best he
raised the iperoury to 77 degrees, the
highest the mercury has registered for
October since this month in 1913.

Union Officials Refrain From
Action Which Might Be
Construed As Violation Of
Court Restraining Order.
. By J. t. O'SulUvan
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 1. De
prived of the guidance and leadership
of their officials by 'federal court or
der, bituminous coal miners of the na
tion officially opened their war for
higher wages and shorter hours at
12:01 a. m, today.
i The. strike called the entire mem
bership of the United Mine Workers
of America, 351,687,' to lay down their
tools.
Only enough men for protection of
mine prope'rty were ordered by the
union to remain at work.
Leaders Are Careful.
Union officials were at work In
their headquarters here practically all
night. No statements were made, us
the nines s' heads 0"Idontly believed
thiu anv anmunceriout igarding the
progress of the strike might be inter
preted as violation of the restraining
order. : .
Miners attorneys ' were preparing
for appearance before Federal Judge
Anderson a week from today, when a
bearing on issuancj of a temporary iu-
MT.ction will be tir-ld.
Union heads belteVtd that the strike
w uld "carry rn', "vith ini:iuct'0n8
new issued and further, orders would
not be necessary from general head
quarters. Practically all union affairs
are controlled by locals the self gov
eminent system in efect.
Federal Agents Watcli
Department of Justice agents today
were clotely watching for viol it ion of
the restraining order.
It is believed by the miners that the
fight will be short and they eNpect
victory before it becomes necessary
for men to receive outside aid. The
$15,000,000. strike fd- is Ued. ap ty
the restraining order. :.
Cops Fear Worst
When Scream and
Gunning Is Heard
Thoughts, of a brutal killing, a kid
napping, or what nonfilled the mind
ot Patrolmen "Victor and Branson
last night as they sped with all the
haste they could muster to a point
near 1631 Market street. " ' .
At 11:45 a report came to police
headquarters that a woman had been
heard to scream, and that mlnglod
with this eerie cry was the resonant
bang of a pistol &hot.
A thorough Investigation in the
neighborhood failed to disclose any
of the gruesome thlngB that the po
lice had feared. They do not believe,
however, that the cry and pistol shot
were inspired by any pranks of young
sters.

REPLY TO DEMANDS
Washington, Nov. 1. President L.
E. Sheppard of the Union of Railway
Conductors said today he will order
a referendum vote Immediately upon
receiving the answer of Rail Director
Hines to the demands of the conduc
tors for wage Increase.
The conductors' union is one of the
fourteen railroad unions whose mem
bers are threatening to strike unless
their demands are met.
Answer Expected Soon,
Hines early next week is expected to
give an answer to the conductors and
the railway trainmen.
This reply, It is assumed, will be In
dicative of Hines' attitude towards the
demands of all railroad unions which
Sheppard says are acting in concert.
A strike of railroad workers might
involve nearly two million men before
settlement, it was estimated here to
day. Strike Fund Large.
Strike funds, which have been in
creased yearly by nearly all the rail
road unions, now total millions, It was
said.
The Brotherhood of Railroad Train
men alone has a fund of $1,500,000 ac
cording to President W. O. Lee,
"We have about $500,000," said
Sheppard today.
The Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
glners and the Brotherhood of Firemen
each is understood to have a fund
greater than that of the trainmen. '

ernment to furnish the miners and
the protection,"

With the coming of daylight this

quarters of the "cops," who, all night.
patrolled the city In search of prank
sters, it was found that but little dam
age had ben done in the city. Nothing
more serious than the tipping of wood
plies, the removal of sheds from prem
ises' and the transporting of wagons
to remote sections of Salem so fat
have been reported as occurlng dur
ing the night.
Police reports show that the 'ghosts'
and 'spooks' were' only abroad for a
short while last night. . It was reported
that everything was quiet by 12 o'clock
Several irate citizens came to police
headquarters this morning and asked
that something be done toward repari
tion for soaping their windows and
rousing the households with 'tick-
tacks,' but Chief Varncy, who was also
a victim of boyish pranks last night,
advised them to smile and forget It.
Chief Varney Is much pleased with
the outcome of the Hallowe'en Jubilee.
This morning he said that he would
gladly issue an open letter of thanks
to the "kids" of the cty for their ex
pediency In handling affairs last night.

Military Overlordship Was
- Maintained Because Popu
lace Desired It, Von Beih-man-HoIIweg
Testifies.
' By Coal D. Groat
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
Berlin, Oct. 31. "Military overlord
ship was maintained because tha Ger
man people themselves wanted It."
This charge was dramatically mad
tonight by Dr. Theobold Von Beth-mann-Holhveg,
former chancellor, dur
Ing a hearing of the relchstag commit
tee investigating the war. The grim,
old diplomat, who has been testifying
in a low montone, suddenly raised his
voice to a shout as he flung this ac
cusation at the committee, pounding
a table with his fist the while.
"There was a good part of the peo
ple who demanded unrestricted sub
marine warefare," he said. "They be
lieved it meant sure victory. An over
whelming portion of the press had the
same Idea while a majority of the reieb
stag was for it." r- -
Von Hollweg placed the burden ot
prolongation of the war equally on the
German people and Field Marshal Von
Hindenburg. "The kaiser was not In
position, even if he desired, to resist
Von Hindenburg," he declared.
The former chancellor said Presi
dent Wilson's mediation offer in D-
cember, 1916, was Ignored because the
military command feared he was vic
timized by the entente, who would turn
his offer to their own account..
