IN COAL.
STRIKE LOOKED
FOR SATURDAY
BY J. Il. O'suliisan

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Indianapolis. Ind, Nov. THE cri-
sis in the coal strike will be reached
tomorrow, in the opinion of govern
ment officials and miners leaders.
Rulings made by Judge Anderson on
injunction proceedings which will be
argued starting at 10 o'clock tomor-
row, will let both the government and
union leaders know just where they
stand.
c. b. Ames, assistant U. S. attorney
general. was expected to arrive here
today to confer with his assistants re-
garding the answer they Will make to
the petition asking dissolution of the
restraining order, filed by union attor-
neys.
Dissolution Sought.
Miners attorneys today prepared
briefs which they. will submit to back
UP their appeal for dissolution.
If the judges ruling on the dissolu-
ton petition is unfavorable to the min
ers. the fight will then center on the
governments appeal for court order
demanding recall of the strike order by
union officials.
This will be the most critical point in
the whole proceedings, attorneys for
both sides agreed. Miners leaders be-
lieve they have shown that the men
will strike despite the courts restrain
ing order preventing union officials
from directing the strike. Govern
ment representatives believe If they
have the additional advantage OF
withdrawal of the strike order, they
will be able to induce the men to re-
turn to work.
Recall Not Possible.
Attorneys for the union will contend
the union officials acted merely as
agents Of the Cleveland convention in
issuing the strike order and are power
less to recall 1t.
In case the injunction is granted
miners representatives will ask that IL
be modified so that strike benefits
may be paid.
Reports were circulated here today
that Acting President John l.. Lewis
of the United Mine Workers was in
communication with cabinet officials
regarding possible basis for strike
settlement.

GRANGE NOT TO JOIN
LABOR FEDERATION

Portland, Or, Nov. 7.-Rumors that
the Oregon grange contemplated fornl-
ing with union labor and the railroad
brotherhoods so-called triple aili-
ance,' such as exists in Washington,
were declared by G. e. Spence. master
Of the state grange, to be utterly un-
founded on fact
I'VE have working agreement with
labor to present a united front on co..
tain kinds of legislation desired by
members of the grange and by labor"
said Spence. "But that Is as far as we
have gone or care to go. They are is
sues that divide us from complete
agreement, the Single tax for instance
toward which grange members are ut
terly opposed. There Is no attempt by
us or the unions to line up together
politically, except for the advocacy or
legislation on which our interests are
identical. We entertain no plans what
soever to combine in the spirit shown
by the triple alliance in the state OF
washington"

JAP STEAMSHIP DID
/. NOT HOG WIRELESS
Lane COMPANY SAYS

San Francisco, Nov. 7.-(United
Press )--Charges that the wireless op-
orator Of the Siberia Maru wilfully
held the wireless lanes while a dis
abled American ship In rough sea
was trying to establish communica-
tions with this coast was denied today
by the Toyo Kisen Kaisha (Orienyai
Steamship company, which operates
the Siberia Maru.
In letter addressed to the radio
inspector at the U. S. custom house
here, the T., X. X. manager says the
s. $. Manoa, which was towing the
disabled ship, did not advise the ST.
IBERIA Maru operators of the true stu
alton until $3.50 p m. October "a.
Statements given out when the Manoa
docked here declared they were thwart
ed by the powerful Siberia Maru wire
less from October 90 to October "a.
"As soon as the Siberia Maru opera
tors received advice that the Manoa
was towing disabled steamer they dis
continued sending messages" says the
letter. ut is very apparent that the
operators of the Manoa were at fault
in not conveying the information soon
er Of the exact conditions"
"You are preventing" and please
stop" were the only flashes the Siberia
Maru caught until the afternoon of
October "a, according to the letter.
Such flashes are common, it says.

ne ulu not say Wnlcn RESERVATIONS
were specifically objected to.
Wilson. Hitchcock said, would be
entirely satified with any reservation
that Hitchcock felt justified in ac-
Icepting, and which did not nullify any
provisions of the league OF nations.
The president. according to Hitch
cock, expressed pleasure at the defeat
of amendments to the treaty.
Agreement Expected.
Hitchcock declared his belief that
the resolution of ratification as offered
by Senator Lodge. will be defeated.
He then will offer a resolution ap-
proved by the administration. II this
is defeated, he said he believes the
democrats who favor the treaty and
the republicans who favor it, can. In
conference, agree on resolution rati-
fication.
Hitchcock said he found Wilson
much improved"
THE president sat propped up with
pillows throughout the interview"
Hitchcock said. "He seemed keeniy
interested. putting and answering
questions with his characteristic ener-
gy."
Upon his return to the capitol.
Hitchcock said:
Lodge Proposal Condemned
THE president indicated that any
compromise we thought necessary to
secure ratification, provided it did
not destroy the treaty terms, would be
satisfactory" He added that Wilson
had expressed complete willingness
to leave the treaty fight In the hands
Of his friends in the senate and ap-
proved the action of administration
senator's thus far.
Wilson agreed with Hitchcock, the
senator said, that the pending Lodge
reservations would be obstructive"
and therefore unacceptable
Hitchcock informed the president
that the Lodge obstructive. reserva-
tions probably would muster forty
nine votes, but would not receive the
necessary two thirds when they come
before the senate from the commit
tee Of the whole.
Hitchcock outlined his plan OF ac-
tion in detail for the presidents APP
proval. When the Lodge reservations
are defeated, Hitchcock will move un-
qualified ratification which. he add
ed, probably will not receive the nee
essary two thirds.
Lnterpretative reservations will then
be offered, according to Hitchcock
will get larger vote but probably
not the two thirds and the treaty will
then be deadlocked.

Many SALEM PEOPLE
TO WITNESS FOOTBALL
CLASSIC TOMORROW

Salem, like most of the other towns
Of the Willamette valley. is to be well
represented at the University Of Ore
gon-W Washington State college football
game in Portland, Saturday afternoon.
From all indications there will be full
ly 1000 fans of the capital city in the
bleachers and grandstand when Ref
cree George Earneil sounds the whistle
that will send the premier teams of the
west into the battle which will decfde
the championship of the Pacific coast
and ent;tle the winner to represent this
section of the country against the lead
ing Atlantic coast team in Pasadena.
ON New Years day.
The local fans. travelling both by
auto and train. are making the trip to
the metropolis with the expectation of
seeing one OF the hardest fought games
in gridiron and there is little likelihood
of them being disappointed.
There are a few over-optimistic low
ers of the sport who are predicting
that the game will go to q scoreless tie,
but there is little in the way OF s.cis
to substatiate such dope. Both teams
are possessed of pow erful and smash

buck their way to at least one, touch

te find their way across the chalk line
via the end and aerial route.
Bear stories" are, of course, to be
expected from coaches of the type of
Hunting and Welch and they are liy-
ing we'll up to the rules OF the game in
this respect. But neither team will go
into the fray seriously crippled, unless
1t be Oregon. The Eugene lads may
have to go into battle without the serv-
ices of their stellar guard, Leslie.
Neither coach predicts victory, al
though both predict that their teams
will fight to the finish. Indications
never were better for "the best team"
to win.
Reserved seats for the contest have
already been sold out and the predic-
ton is made that $1,000 people, rec
crd crowd for the northwest. will tax
the accommodations of Multnomah

TO MEET
next FRIDAY NIGHT
FOR ORGANIZATION

A call for all statesmen of Salem to
come to the Commercial club at s
O'Clock next Friday evening was is
sued this morning by j. F. Hutcha-
son, leader In the movement to or
ganize a Salesmen's club in this city.
Benjamin r. Perkins, of the Metro
politan Life Insurance company,
father of the idea, also has been
working for the organization, and re-
quests that all statesmen possible at
tend the meeting.
Secretary James Elvin, of the Y. M.
G. A., has offered to bring noted
lecturer on salesmanship who will ad-
dress the men that night.
Mr.. Hutchinson speaks highly of the
plan of organizing a salesmen's club.
He says that the plan will mean a
great deal for any one joining, and
points out the benefits that may be
derived as follows:
First, salesmens club will great
~ benefit the members. The inter-
change of ideas; salesmanship class
es; lectures by men high up in this
profession and the betterment of each
individual in learning ways by which
he may become more expert in his
particular line are some Of the things
which can be accomplished.
Second, every employer in the city
of Salem will encourage such an or
ganization simply because it will help
the people In his employ to become
better salespeople thereby causing
them to take more interest in seeing
their employers business prosper"
When such a club is formed, each
member Is entitled to full member
ship In the Commercial club upon
the payment of an annual fee Of s5.
The club rooms will be open to the
members and they will have the right
to attend the open forum meetings
and learn the workings Of this great
institution which is doing so much to
build a greater Salem.

TO ROLL
CALL OF RED CROSS
SLUNPS;; lO75 JOIN

With thirty-three dollars turned in
Stayton amounting to $40 received this
morning at headquarters in the post
office building, 1915 memberships in
the third Red Cross roll call have been
taken out thus far during the drive.
Leaders, however, had lost a little of
their confidence, as workers in a num-
bafor of districts are reporting that the
response is not nearly as generous as
1t was last year. In one instance a
captain said that in families, in her
division, where she had obtained sew
eral memberships during the 1919
drive, she was unable to obtain single
subscription this year Rural workers
are also having some difficulty in dis
posing Of their supplies. However, 1t
seems to be the general opinion among
the captains that the final days of the
campaign VIII bring The charter up 60
par, and they are preparing for an
eleventh hour rush.
Mrs. Ethel Malone assisted by Mrs.
Edith Lake and Mrs. Ethel Nation,
canvassed the Stayton territory; Mrs.
James Linn is taking charge of both
the local depots and reports satisfac-
tory response from travellers.
AS an evidence of the teace-timc
importance of the Red Cross. the Col
lowing telegram, received this morn
ing from division headquarters In s;a-
attle, speaks for Itself.

Republicans hailed the vote as an
indication that their reservation pro-
gram. including the preamble, which
Senator Hitchcock, after a consultation
with President Wilson. said would be
very embarrassing" would pass.
McCumber was the only republican
to vote with the democrats Other mild
reservationists voted with Lodge. Dems
