With the receipt here of news dis.
patches from the East that 250 In

left st. Louis for Aberdeen, expecting
to pick up recruits along the way, and
create such free speech" and free
streets" turmoil here in return for the
unceremonious ousting of Industrial
Workers a few weeks ago, that the
authorities would be helpless to pre-
serve order, Aberdeen, both as con-
Germs it's officials and it's private citf-
zens, is ''in training"
Vigilance has at no time been re-
laxed entirely since the attempt OF
invading industrial workers to cre-
ate disorders here a few weeks ago.
but the news from st. Louis has caus-
ed redoubled precautions to be taxi
en-. At police headquarters last night
it was said that the department.
backed by the 500 special citizen po-
lice and public sentiment-was ready
to give any invading force the same.
Kind s. reception which resulted IA.
several dozen Of them being hustled
out of town on the occasion of the re-
cent disturbances, with the expressed.
opinion that this is no place for
u.s."
Police Are Prepared
"If $50 members of these so-calleG
workers are coming to Aberdeen"
was the brief but emphatic announce
ment from the police department, I'VE
will have 1900 men on the borders
of the city, on the streets and in the
railroad yards to meet them"
The organization of the special pc
lice appointed at the time of the first
ATTACK" on the city is still intact,
the members all being under orders
to report at a given signal. Meetings
of the police will now be held and
plans will be perfected to resist the
st. Louis force.
The agitation of the Industrial
Workers against this city has not died
down. Through their correspondence
and propaganda of various sorts, a
crusade has been preached through
out the United States against Aber-
deem.
Have Preached Crusade
Box cars between here and st. Paul
have been placarded with notices
calling the workers to proceed against
this city.
So far all attempts have been frus-
trated. Stragglers have been coming
in groups of three or four from time
to time. They have been met on their
arrival here and quietly sent out of
town by the regular police force.
The latest move of the organization
has been the posting of notice Of
fering $4,000 reward for the arrest
and conviction of the members OF the
special police force who have assist
ed in escorting workers out of the
city on the two occasion in which the
special officers have undertaken that
task.

TOLL OF LUMBER
INDUSTRY HEAVY
Nearly Fifty Per Cent Of
States Accidents, Says
Commissioner Pratt

TACOMA, Dec. &c. A. Pratt,
chairman of the state industrial in
surance commission, told the men,
bers of the West Coast Lumber Man
ufacturers' Association, at Tacoma,
last week, that the percentage of ac-
cidents and deaths in the numbering
industry, coming under the provisions
of the employers liability act, has
been much larger than anticipated.
He presented figures which indicat-
ed that approximately so per cent. of
the fatal accidents and injuries in
the state have been in saw mills,
logging camps, wood working fac
tories and on logging railroads.
Toll Of Accidents
OF the forty fatal accidents nine
teen were in the numbering industry.
Of the 531 accidents coming under
the act about 375 have been charged
up to the numbering industry.
The saw mill owners has paid $135,
1861 into the liability fund; wood
working establishments have con
tributed $13,551.19 and logging rail
roads $25,32626.
Mr.. Pratt stated that 80 per cent.
or 37,S2S of the 50 '47 employees com
ing under the act, re in class 10, OF
the lumber industry, while more thar
SO per cent. of the accidents have beer
in that class.
Two Factors Scored
Mr.. Pratt told the millmen that the.
should take greater precautions il
safeguarding machinery and equip
ment and that they should not per
nit men to work kho wear gauntlet
or torn clothes, two factors to whicl
he attributed many of the minor in
juries.

SOCIAL EVIL
ORDERED OUT
City Authorities Order all
Denizens of Underworld
to Leave City

Tonight at midnight the restricted
districts in the cities of Chehalis
county will cease to exist. Orders ls-
sued yesterday afternoon by Mayor
Parks in Aberdeen and Mayor Fergu-
son in Hoquiam, to the heads of their
police, aer to close all places known
to be immoral, at midnight. Inmates
of the houses must leave the city at
once, while landladies are given un-
til January 4th to dispose of their
chattels, if they desire to do so.
The order was signed up yesterday
afternoon at a meeting which was at
tended by Mayor J. w. Parks, City
Attorney Graham, Chief of Police L.
d. Templeman and Councilman w. o.
McCaw.
The move is the elimination of the
recent scandal in the police force in
Hoquiam, and the Hits case in this
city. The city council at request of
Hits voted for an investigation by
Prosecuting Attorney William D..
Campbell, and it is said that his in
vestigation uncovered conditions so
rotten in Chehalis county, that he con-
sidered the only way was to clean
out all resorts. He gave his orders
several days ago which are being
carried out simultaneously through
out the county.
In Hoquiam it is said that the deni
zens of the underworld had reached
a stage beyond control. They had
been given protection by the police
force. which has recently been forced
into the limelight-and this move
was necessary in that city.
In Aberdeen it has been said thai
the underworld has never been rur
in so orderly manner since it's ex
istence Disturbances are almost un
heard of and the police have had thii
part of the city in control.
Order of Mayor
} To the Chief of Police of Aberdeen
You are hereby notified to close al
, houses of prostitution in the City o
: Aberdeen, and require all persons nov
!, in charge of any house of prostitu
j., ton or practicing prostitution in tn
, City of Aberdeen, or working abou
e such places to leave the city; and
r You are further notified to gathe
S evidence against any person or pei
e sons hereafter attempting to condue
t a house of prostitution or to practic
the same in this city, and bring tn
same before the Police Court, to th
end that this city shall eventually b
rid of all such characters.

LUMBER RATES
ARE REDUCED
Reduction on Fir Lumber to
Nebraska of from 10 to
20 Per Cent
APPLIES TO ALL LINES
Freight on Shingles is Cut
Ten Celts From Coast
To Denver

What Grays Harbor lumbermen say
will be one of the most important
lumber rate reductions promulgated
since the famous rate fight more than
two years ago was announced Tues
day by E. r. Fairbanks, traffic man
ager of the Pacific Coast Shippers
Association.
Mr.. Fairbanks announcement is
that the transcontinental railroads
operating out of Seattle have decided
to cut the rate on shingles shipped
from Western Washington points to
Denver and all points in that terri
tory 10 cents per hundreds pounds.
This is one of the deepest rate cuts
ever made on forest products. The
new tariffs which are now being pre-
pared, but which will not become ef-
fective until the latter part of Janu-
ary, provide not only for sharp re-
ductions of rates to Denver but ap-
ply also to all Wyoming and to all
points where rates are based on the
Denver tariffs.
What 1t Means to Lumbermen
The new rates, lumbermen say
will increase the market for red ce
dar shingles at least 25 per cent. and
will mean hundreds of thousands OF
dollars annually to Western Washing
ton shingle manufacturers.
The railroads have also announced
reductions on fir lumber to points In
Nebraska. A new tariff just out, ant
which becomes effective December
80, makes reductions ranging from
10 to 20 per cent to no less thar
forty important lumber-consumint
towns in Nebraska.
The district in which the rates will
be reduced is one where yellow pin'
now predominates, but which, com
mencing January 1, can be entere'
by manufacturers of fir lumber. TIL
new rates put the West Coast mill
on an even footing with the Souther
lumber manufacturers.

COAL SHUT DOWN OR
STRIKE is EXPECTED

NEW YORK. Dec. 2s.--Notice of
an increase in the price Of domestic
sizes Of anthracite coal has led to
the discovery that the mine operators
are getting ready for either a strike
or shut down Of the mines at the
expiration of the union agreements
on April 1.
The advance in prices here has
begun with an increase of rs per
cent ton on chestnut size, which
is to be followed by an advance in
prices on other sizes with the arrival
of the next coal snap.
Editor Floyd Parsons. Of the Coal
Age. said to-day that diligent study
on his part had failed to reveal the
reason for the advances except that
of '.seasonable" advance, a term ap-
plying to cold weather raises. He also
stated that 1t is believed that the
operators would have about seven
months supply on hand by the time
that the union agreements expired on
April /. and that the mines would
then be closed indefinitely. IF IL
isn't strike 1t will be a shut down, "
