SCORES INJURED IN
RIOT|NC ALONG NEW
YORK'S water front

New York, Oct. 27.-Scores Of per-
sons were injured today in riot fol-
lowing a clash between two thousand
strike sympathizers and several long
shoremen who were returning to work.
The fight, which was the most seri-
Gus during the present longshoremen's
strike, occurred near the Bush Termi-
nal in Brooklyn. Clubs, stones and
fists were freely used and revolvers
were fired. Police reserves, vigorous
ly welding clubs, finally restored or
der. Ten arrests were made.
Several hundred men gathered at
the entrance to the North River piers
on the New York side, but the activity
of representatives of the Butler faction
prevented them from going to work.
These pickets dashed from pier to pier
| in automobiles, urging the men to stay
out and 1t is alleged, threatening them
with violence if they ignored the re-
quest
| A small detachment of soldiers was
stationed near the piers, but officials
said these were to be used in unload
! ing transports docking on the Ne"
York side of the river.

John T.. Lewis, acting president Of

MRS. TRUNBULL
NOT RECEIVING
STIPULATED PAY

II Mrs. Millie Trumbull is guilty or
the violation of a state law in holding
down three Jobs at the same time, that
$4,000 per year as secretary to the child
welfare commission as specifically pro-
vided for in the law creating the COM
mission. This is the publicly express
ed though wholly unofficial opinion
held by those in state house circles
who have given any serious attention
to the controversy between the War
Auxiliaries' committee of Portland and
Mrs Trumbull.
Departing from the phraseology
which usually characterizes a statute
providing for salaries of public en-
ployes the act creating the child well
fare commission and providing a Sec
retary therefore also provides thar ,nfs
secretary shall receive salary of not
less than $4,000 a year"
Inasmuch as Mrs. Trumbull as serv-
without any pay at all her action In
this respect is plainly in violation o1
the state law which specifically di-
rects the commission to spend at least
$4,000 year for competently trained
secretary.
The contention that Mrs. Trumbul
is violating the state law forbiddint
any person from holding more tina,
one Lucrative office" at one time II
regarded here as entirely groundles
inasmuch as Mrs. Trumbulls position
are not regarded as "offices" but arr
merely state 'Jobs" requiring neithe
the filing Of bond nor the taking o
an oath as required OF all persons elec
ed or appointed to office under tn
constitution of Oregon.

GOVERNMENT TO
keep ORDER If
STRIKE CALLED

Washington, Oct. ,27.-Cabinet mem
bers have prepared a program of law
enforcement which they believe will
protect the country from any emer-
gency arising out of the threatened
coal strike il miners officials insist in
putting il into effect
Pending decision of the miners the
government will take no stand as to
the merits of the controversy publicly.
1t was indicated today, however, that
the blame for the present situation is
not regarded as one sided as that min
ers, if they will consent to arbitration
as offered by President Wilson, will
nave their just grievances remedied.
Congress Takes Hand.
Congress today took a hand in the
strike discussion. After opposition by
Senator Borah, Senator Thomas, Colo
RADIO, withdrew temporarily his reso-
luton which would have endorsed the
administrations efforts in the strike.
This resolution was introduced before
the senator's statement yesterday.
Representative Connolly, Texas, will
Introduce today a resolution indorsing
the presidents state, he said.
There are several openings through
which the government may step into
the coal controversy.
The present contract, which is to run
until the end of the war or until April
1, 1920, was made with the sanction
of the fuel administration, a govern
ment agency This was pointed out
specifically by President Wilson in his
warning to the miners Saturday as in
dicating the government considered
the proposed strike unlawful
Law Gives Authority.
The food control law also gives the
government opportunity to take q
hand in the strike through its pro.
visions making it Illegal to interfere
with production and allowing the gov
eTnment to take over mine to insure
continued production
Even without this law. officials here
point out, the supreme courts broad
definition of war powers would give
the government plenty of latitude fol
action. In passing on various wal
laws the supreme court declared tha
the government had the power to dc
almost anything in the interest of tht
nations existence.
