City of Medford, Oregon,
May 31, 1922
Ben W. Olcott,
Salem, Ore.
Dear Sir:
Your letter of May 29th received.
and I assure you It waa no surprise
to me. I accept it with the realiza
tion that politics makes queer crea
tures out of the best of men. I sin
cerely hope you will not be disap
pointed in the additional support you
expect to gain by this act. I shall
never forget at least the many com
pliments you paid me for valuable
services rendered during the holding
of the last fair, while now I am dis
missed for the good of the service.
Very truly yours.
C. E. GATES.
The news contained In Portland
newspapers reaching Medford late
yesterday afternoon that Governor
Olcott had ousted Mayor Gates from
the state fair board, effective June
1st, of which he had been such an
active and conspicuous member waa a
distinct surprise to the local public,
but not so much to the mayor him
self aa he had long expected some
such move by the governor in view
of the latter's decided stand against
the Ku Klux Klan and his own con
nection with the local Klan.
Pop received the-newa with good
grace, was exceptionally cheerful this
forenoon and discussed the govern
or's action freely and without rancor
with friends, many of whom called at
his business quarters this forenoon,
lie was also kept busy by Portland
newspapers calling up this forenoon,
and others from Portland and the
north end of the state, about the rumor
that he might become an independent
candidate for governor.

HOOVER 0
FIX PRICE
Secretary of Commerce Takes
Hand in Coal Strike Situa
tionProfiteering to Be
Eliminated if Possible
Agreement to Be Made With
Coal Operators.
WASHINGTON, May 31. Secretary
Hoover today assumed the responsibil
ity for fixing a reasonable pric on
pot coal during the continuance of the
present coal strike. . , -
viqiuk toe conference nere touay
of nnion and non-union operator in
th producing field, Mr. Hoover Uf;
clared that any agreement between
the operator looking toward the fixing
of the price of coal, even tboczh In tho
Interest of the public, would be illegal.
He insists that the operator agree
with him upon a reasonable price for
coal in their respective districts. .
Mr. Hoover suggested the Immediate
appointment of committee represent
ing each producing district to advise
with him upon a fair price for coal
in their respective district. He also
asked that these committee continue
In existence after the determination of
a fair price, reporting caaes of unfair
charges. ';.:
He told the several hundred opera
tor at the meeting that production
waa now about 6,000.000 tons a week
and consumption between 6,000,00
and 8,500,000, thus necessitating with
drawals from stock amounting to be
tween 3.0G0.OOO and 3.500,000 tpna a
week. Production will increase slight
ly a time goes on, he said. .
Coal price today, Mr. Hoover said,
ranged from abont tk dollar and 21
cent to 13.50 a ton at the mine.
The public, he continued, should
understand that the problem at band
is one of almost stupendous difficulty.
"What a fair price tor coal is de
penda upon condition In each district
and where profiteering begins and
ends is a question of definite fair price
determined upon facts and not upon
theories," the secretary told the opera,
tor. There Is not, Mr. Hoover ex
plained, a single shred of law to en
force a fair price or prevent prof lteer
inK and the law nrohibita onerators
agreeing as to what a fair price may
be. , . .
"I propose to Inquire through you as
to the situation in various districts
and I will take the responsibility on
my own back and will ask every opera-
tor to accept this basis in his own din-,
trict," Mr. Hoover told the operator.
The agreement, he continued, would
be between the operators and the sec
retary of commerce and if an operator
failed to live up to it. It would be upon
his conscience.
' Mr. Hoover's suggestion waa ap
proved by A. M. Ogle, president of the
National Coal association. -The
secretary announced the ap-
nointment nf an arivtanrv mnimltUa
to begin meeting at once wlt& commit-,
tees representing operators In the var
ious districts. The committee constats
of Mr. Ogle, C. E. Bockus, New York; ;
George Otis Smith, director of the geo
logical survey; E. A. Holbrook, acting,
director of the bureau of mines, and
B. A. Hadleigh, chief of the coal divis
ion of the commerce department. ,
Quick action was urged In order that
the coal price question might be met
at once.
