Injuries and interrupts others. The de-
lay in deciding the Standard Oil and

supreme court does no more harm to

fear of an adverse decision but in the
delay. If the worst were known bust

paralyzes the will of business from the

PINKERTONS
REFUSE TO
WORK ON CASE
l'auIM dasva1 ssaad da11Nnl

Los Angeles, Cal, Aug. 29.-Geo.
C Shoaf, father Of the missing So
cialist newspaper man, who came to
Los Angeles a few days ago to in
vestigate his sons strange dissp-
pearance, said today that the Pink
erton detective agency had abso-
lutely refused to work on the case.
The offer of a large reward for the
location of Shoaf or the detection of
the party responsible for his disap-
pearance, he said, could not influence
the Pinkerton's to take up the
search.
According to Captain Shoaf, the
reason for the action of the Pink
ertons was caused by Shoaf's activi-
ty during the Moyer-Heywood-P
bone trial in Idaho. 1t has been said
that the young newspaper CORE
spondent did some excellent private
detective work, and, the elder Shoaf
claims, exposed the methods of the
Pinkerton detective agency.
The work of Shoaf, Sr., who Is
head of the San Antonio, Tex, detec-
tive bureau, since arriving in Los
Angeles, has availed little, nor have
the efforts of the private detectives
working on the case brought to light
any clue that looks, at the present
time, as though the mystery woulC
be unraveled.

GOVERNOR is
BACK FROM THE
COOS COUNTRY

Governor West and State Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction Alder
man, who have been on a weeks tour
of counties located in the southwest
portion of the state, returned last ev-
ening. State Superintendent Alder
man was found this morning at his
desk discharging the duties of his Of
flee, but the governor paused in the
city but for the night leaving this
morning for Astoria where today he
delivered an address at the Centennial
exposition.
People HOspitable.
Governor West was prOfuse in his
praise of the hospitality extended him
and the superintendent by the people
declared that everywhere they had
been treated royalty. 1t was the gov
ernors first visit to that section of
the state for a number of years, and
he was surprised-astonish at the
rapid advancement and progress of
the country, and expressed himself as
confident that there lies before it the
brightest kind of future.
One day of the week was devoted to
hunting deer, but the party had bad
luck, not getting a single one, but the
information obtained with relation to
the country more than made up for
this loss.
. During the visit he and the state
superintendent delivered number of
addresses at teachers institutes and
also at commercial club meetings.

any conferences with me they must
come to San Francisco on his arrival
here his first declaration was that he
did not come west in connection with
the strike controversy, but for per
sonal and family reasons" Today he
is holding and has been holding since
his arrival conferences with Vice
President E. E. Calvin and the heads
of the operating department of the
Southern Pacific
On their side the labor leaders here,
headed by President Ernest Reguin of
the shopmen's federation, are prepar-
ing for the arrival of the heads of
the several unions composing that
body, When these leaders arrive the
demands of the men will be placed
before Kruttschnitt If he refuses to
receive the leaders as representatives
of the federation or if he refuses to
meet them, at least in a compromise,
labor leaders say there is little doubt
that strike will result.
Reguin added to his previous COM
ment on Kruttschnitt's statement by
specifying the apprentice question
and the physical examination issue as
having been misrepresented by Krutt-
schnitt
"The vice president of the Hartman
lines" he said, has misled the public
in the matter of apprenticeship, be-
cause that rule is already in opera
tion. He defends the physical exam
ination, when he knows that such ex-
aminations already have been abol-
ished. They are stated in our proposed
agreement simply because we want
them to reman settled as they are
now.
I'VE do not want to place the Slight
est obstacle in the way of peaceful
settlement of the issue that will be
discussed by Mr.. Kruttschnitt with the
presidents of the craft unions when
they meet here this week. For that
reason l will not discuss the policy
which the company seems bent upon
pursuing, Should the attempt of the
presidents of the craft unions to Sc
cure recognition for the federation
meet with failure, then the federation
Will be heard from"
The 1900 men in the San Francisco

have voted almost unanimously to

ognized and the eight-hour day
