strong belief in the commercial fu-
ture of Oakland, V. X. Sturgis has

destined to be one of the greatest of
manufacturing cities after the Pa
mama canal was in good working or

small plant i have now" said Stur-
gis.
That's a pretty big estimate" said

MIRACULOUS BIRTH

PORTLAND PASTOR DECLARES
THAT THE OLD BELIEF

PORTLAND, Ore, March 2.-That
the doctrine Of the miraculous birth
of Jesus Is an insult to motherhood
and to fatherhood, because such doc
trine implies that there Is some ne
cessary taint or corruption in being
born in the usual way" was the de-
claration OF the Rev. w. G.. Eliot. jr..
pastor of the Unitarian church, in his
sermon last night. His subject was

raculous Birth of Christ and its Un-
christian Implications"

der upon our mothers and fathers?''
he asked. Does 1t not involve a
crude and materialistic view of Gods
ways?"
Mr.. Eliot's sermon aroused consid.
cradle interest and attracted many
people, owing to the recent controver-
sy over the same question, in which
DR.. Aked. of San Francisco, was the
ministers on the churches have
preached sermons upholding the old
orthodox view.
1T Is somewhat humiliating to have
to preach on this question at ALL" said
DR.. Eliot last night when there are
SO many questions of much greater
and more immediate Importance
Problems of social justice and civic du-
ty, problems of Joy and sorrow, vital
and practical problems of faith and
character-all of these are greater or
more immediate and of more lasting
concern.

MAY invoke LAW
AGAINST unions
Nonunion Workers in Soft
Coal Fields of West Virginia
Make Threats.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 11.---Over
shadowing all questions Of wages and
conditions the most serious problem
before the joint convention. at the
BELLEVUE Stratford hotel here, of union
operators and miners from the soft
coal fields of Western Pennsylvania.
Ohio, Indiana. and Illinois, is the
threat of nonunion operators Of West
Virginia TO invoke the Sherman anti
trust law against the operators and
miners in the unionized fields
What has greatly complicated this
problem for the comforting operators
President Wilson's willingness to
amend the Sherman act so that 1T
would not apply to labor organiza-
tions. of farmers. or professions not
organized for profit.
President Wilson was quoted in
Washington recently as having eX-
pressed the opinion that the proposed
Sherman act amendment to exempt
labor organizations would he special
class legislation. and unconstitutional,
This has made the union soft coal
operators and miners fear that even
though congress should pass the Sher-
man law amendment bysa bin intro
duced several weeks ago. the presi-
dent may not sign it. This fear has
been strengthened by President VIII
sons attitude toward other Demo-
cratic platform measures. such rs the
question of Panama canal tolls.
