MINE WORKERS
VOTE IN FAVOR
OF new SCALE

Cleveland, Ohio, Aug. 10 (By
the Associated Press. )-The pol
lev committee of the United Mine
Workers of America today voted
to proceed with the negotiation
Of a wage scale agreement with
the operators of Ohio and Western
Pennsylvania, Indiana and Him
ois, who are here for the joint
conference that was called with
the view of breaking the soft coal
strike.
In announcing the committees
decision, President John l.. Lewis
of the miners, said:
81 confidently predict that
when scale Is made here rs per
cent of all the bituminous tonnage
now ON strike will sign the scale
and return to work within a
week."
Settlement OF the strike in the
anthracite regions, which also
have been shut down since April
i. when the miners walked out,
would naturally follow" the re-
sumption of work in the soft coal
industry, Mr.. Lewis said.
Refusal OF the Indiana and Ill
inois associations to join the con-
ference. he said, would make nc
difference" in proceeding toward
making an agreement. He as
serted that the miners had "defin'
ite assurances that important
producers of these two states
would accept any scale decided on
by the conference.

I6 more votes than the NUMBER
polled for him and robbed Olcott
of 18 that had been cast by has
supporters. The error constituted
the first evidence Of conspiracy
to favor either candidate in the
canvass Of the 224 precincts re-
counted in Marion, Multnomah
and Clatsop counties and further
added to the public disrepute into
which the contest proceedings

LONG DRY SPELL

Tacoma, Wash, Aug. 10.--The
long dry spell in southwest Wash
ington was broken today by
rain declared to be worth many
thousands Of dollars to datrymen,
fruit and berry growers and tim
ber owners. The last previous
rain was on May "a, or n days

crops all over the southwest, dried
up pastures and parched the

The rain today began to fall at
9 a. m, after slight sprinkles last
night and It was continuing today
over the entire southwest section.
A half inch had fallen here UP to
10 O'Clock this morning.
Late berry crops are expected
to be revived by the rain, and
present forest fires checked and
possibly extinguished.
The rain has dampened the
wooden areas of the northwest

tent that this morning Fred E

Failures of Justice Due to

Chief Justice.

San Francisco, Aug. 10 by
Associated Press) - Dependence
upon action of congress to effect
reform to remove delays and to
bring about speed in the admins
tration of Justice, has not
brought the best results and some
different mode should be tried,
William Howard Taft, chief JUS
tice Of the United States, told the
American Bar association today.
s'The failures Of justice in this
country said Chief Justice Taft,
especially in the state courts,
have been more largely due to the
Withholding of power from judges
over proceedings before them, than
to any other cause. and yet judges
have to bear the brunt of criticism
which is SO general as to the re-
suits of present court action. The
judges should be given power com
mensurate with their responsible
ity. Their capacity to reform
matters should be tried to Sc
whether better results may not b
| attained.
