At no time in half n century 1".ik

Oregon, Senator Chamberlain is can

of the hard shell cast, He has oppos
ed every progressive measure which
would make it easier for tho people
of Oregon to control their own gov

WASHINGTON', Oct. L'l). Acting
Secretary Liusini; said today that,
Secretary McAdoo's order to collec
tors of customs not to make public
the nature of cargoes of ship- de
parting from American ports until
thirty days nfter they had cleared,
was ishiied after consultation with the
statu department, lie declined to
give the reason, but, it is understood,
some belligerent ships nt sen have
been receiving advanced information
of tho contents of enrgnes through
tho publication of manifests. Mr.
Lansing pointed out that before, the
war broke" out mnnifests were not
made public as a rule until several
days after a ship had cleared.
In some quarters here there was a
disposition to regard the order hs li
able to cause tho ships of the allies
o exercise more than customary vig
jlanco and scrutiny, searching prac
tically all ships leaving American
povls. As the right of search, how
ever, is conceded to all belligerent on
thu high seas and shippers send con
traband abroad nt their own risk, the
American government is said not to
feel concerned.

LONDON, Oct. 29, 2:02 p. m.
Tho onslaughts of tho armies battling

The Germans assent to this Is of

and takes the shape of a confession of
failure to achieve their object to

fighting in this region Is only mo
mentary is taken for granted but up
to the present time no news of a re

come to hand. Doth sides seem to
be endeavoring to line up afresh and

No official information has bocn

WASHINGTON, Oct. 29. Presi
dent Wilson is seriously considering
whether he has authority to closg the
Colorado coal mines involved in the
strike, if the operators continue to
refuse the plan of settlement already
accepted by the miners.
Attorney General Gregory confer
red with the president today and it
was understood Mr. Wilson had asked
him for a legal opinion on his right
to close the mines, if public necessity,
in his opinion, required that step.
After seeing the president, Mr. Greg
ory refused to discuss the question.
The president has received sug
gestionsc that he close the mines.
Some of his advisors have gone
further and suggested that the gov
ernment operate them. He is unwill
ing to keep federal troops in Colorado
indefinitely but he has been told by
representatives of the miners that if
they were,, withdrawn before a. settle
ment is reached fighting and rioting
would break out.
J. P. Welborn, president pf vthe
Colorado Fuel & Iron company,, is
sued" a statement ia whick' bo ti&id in
part:
"Tho coal mines of Colorado nro
employing close to 11,000 men, who
are producing more coal than con
now be readily disposed of. No in
crease in the force will be necessary
to take caro of tho winter demand.
Many men are watting at the coal
mines for the opportunity to go to
work when vacancies occur, it being
imtwssible to givo prompt employ
ment to all applicants.
"There is no controversy between
the coal operators and their em
ployes. There are now less than
1000 of the former employes out on
strike. t
"It is beyond belief that the gov
ernment nt Washington should seri
ously consider closing down the coal
mining industry of the state as a
means of inducing this lawless ele
