Lewis Hopkins Bogars, a New
York lawyer, has presented to the
state of Oregon, through Sam A..
Kozer, secretary Of state, manu-
script consisting of between S0,-
600 and 100000 words and more
than 100 photographs descriptive
Of the eventful fitc-year cruise of
the u. S. S. battleship Oregon
around the world, upon condition
that the state publish the same in
book form.
Mr.. Kozer has accepted the
manuscript and Photographic
views on behalf of the state and
advised the author that the pro-
posed publication by the state of
such book comes entirely within
the province of the legislative as
sembly since nothing of the char.
acter can be undertaken by any
department or official upon its or
his own initiative. Mr.. Kozer will
submit the proposal of Mr.. Rogers
for the consideration of the 1928
session of the legislature as to the
advisability of providing an ap-
preparation for publishing the
book.

Cllernawa May
Give Bearcats
Hard Battle

Coach Boilers Bearcats are go
ing to get their first opportunity
to demonstrate their real worth
tomorrow afternoon on Sweetland
field when they meet the Chema-
wa Indians in what promises to
be a hard fought and evenly
matched game.
For the first time this year
Willamette will be playing with
out the handicap of weight against
them and will be in a position to
abandon the defensive style of
play and open up with their Of
fense. All this week Boiler has
been drilling his squad In an ef-
fective mode of attack ana he
looks to the Saturday game to
test out his scoring machine for
the coming games with Whitman.
Pacific university and the College
of Puget Sound.
The idea that the Bearcats are
to have easy shedding against the
Indians, prevalent in some quar-
tiers, is without foundation in the
dope sheet, for the Chemawa ag-
gregation has shown fully as
much strength as Willamette in
previous games. There is not
lenough difference between the 6S
to drubbing administered to the
Indians by o. A. G. and the trnun-
cling the Aggies handed William
ette last Saturday to indicate any
thing. There was no apparent rea-
son why the Aggies could not have
boosted their Willamette game
score by three or four more touch
downs.
Tomorrow the Indian team will
average only lat to $50 pounds in
weight, which will give the Bear
cats an advantage Of about 10
pounds to the man. Consequently
the Chemawa game Is likely TO
be defensive. with their hope for
victory lying in the ability of
BEETLES, shlfty halfback, to break
away for a sensational gain or
two.
The tentative lineups announc-
ed by the coaches for the game are
as follows:
Chemawa- Johnson L. E., Nix

Thomas r. c., Teratrovich r. T.,

LACK OF AUTHORITY CAUSED
FAILURE OF CONFERENCE

Chicago, Oct. 21.--Lack OF any
provision by the unions for sus-
pending the railroad strike called
for October 80 made it impossible
to accept the plan offered by the
United States railroad labor board
yesterday, 1t was said today In
union circles. The board, 1t was
presented three proposals to the
presidents Of the big four brother
hoods and the switchmens un-
ion. They were:
The railroads to make a re-
.duction in freight rates corre-
spending to the wage reduction Of
July /, less such reductions as al
ready have been made since that
date.
2-The roads to refrain from
asking the United States railroad
labor board for a further wage
reduction until the last cut has
been translated into rate reduc-
tions.
3-The unions to suspend or
withdraw their strike d-der.
The five union presidents were
willing to accept the first two but
declared they had made no ar
rangements for suspending their
strike. and any settlement must
be made before October 80 or the
waIkout would automatically be-
come effective.

Lewis Orders
Miners Back In
Kansas Strike

indianapolis, Oct. 21.-A call
for the immediate resumption of
work by Kansas coal miners, who
have been idle since their deposed
leader, Alexander Howat, was
sent to jail under the Kansas in
dustrial court law, was issued to-
day by President John L. Lewis
of the United Mine Workers of
America, in a letter sent to every
union miner in Kansas.
Those who urged the Kansas
mine workers to continue idle in
violation of the joint agreement
are but false leaders pointing the
road to inevitable disaster" said
Mr.. Lewis letter, who also re-
ferred to approaching wage ne
gotiations affecting the entire coal
industry Of the United States as
"the battle which is to come"
calling for unity among all
miners.
Further, the letter asserted, 1t
was "a deliberate falsehood" to
say the International union would
permit changed working condi-
tions at the two mines or that
the union was acting in sympathy
with the Kansas Industrial court
Law.

RAILROAD LABOR BOARD
BACKED BY GOVERNMENT
AUTHORITY INTER VENES

Chicago, Oct. 21.-The United States Rail
road Labor Board today, backed by all the
authority which the government can place at
it's disposal, called the railroads of the country
and the five big unions to appear here next
week, and solemnly warned the unions not 10
strike until the board has heard their gr1ev-
ances and rendered decision.
The boards action practically means there
will be no strike October 80 unless the unions
should choose to openly defy the government
for it is hardly probable that decision Will pe
rendered by the board before that date.
While the transportation act gives the board no power "
enforce it's decisions it is understood that last Week
ferences between President Harding members OF the
Attorney General Daughery Secretary OF war weeks anu
the Interstate Commerce Commission placed all the Depart
ents of in accord to what snoud De aohe
either side moved in open defiance of the labor board
Should the unions refuse to abide by the boards ooe y
has been pointed out the board would under the law issue
statement to the public to that effect and the pesoeno
and his advisers could then proceed to take such acton as
they considered necessary.
The text of the resolution follows:
Whereas it has to the knowledge Of the United
States Railroad Labor Board that dispute exists between
the carriers and the organizations of their employees
Whereas information has to this board that con-
held in Chicago the fourteenth day OF October
1921 between certain of the executives of said carriers and
