I'LL HEALTH FORCES
MILTON A. MILLER TO
GIVE UP TREAS. RAGE

Milton A. Miller has decided to
withdraw as the democratic nomi-
nee for state treasurer.
Notification to that effect was sent
by Mr.. Miller to DR.. G.. j. Smith,
democratic state chairman. It now
becomes the task of the democratic
state committee to select someone to
be the candidate in lieu of Mr.. Miller.
Several prominent and qualified mem-
bers of the party will be considered
for the place when Chairman Smith
assemblies the committee at an early
date.
Mr.. Miller said that his sole reason
for withdrawing is the fact that in
his present state Of health he would
not be able to make a campaign or
assume the burdens of the office if
he should be elected.
No democrat filed for the nomina-
tion for state treasurer in the pri-
maries, but the name Of Mr.. Miller
was written In by enough admirers
to gain for him the nomination un-
! solicited. In the letter to Chairman
Smith he said: "Please be assured
that l greatly appreciate the confid-
ence reposed in me by my friends,
as evidenced by their having written
my name on the ballot at the primary
election.
'In the past ! have been greatly
honored by the democractic party and
the citizens of Oregon, and it is
with feeling of extreme reluctance
that l am obliged to forego making
this campaign. If the conditions
were otherwise / would have con-
sidered 1t an honor to make the race
and l trust that at some time in the
future l may be in position agar
to take up the fight"
Accompanying the communicable
to the head Of the party was foffna
letter Of withdrawal addressed 70 th'
secretary of state, with the fequest
that the state chairman have it for
warded to the secretary. For seyera
weeks past Mr., Miller's health has
been imspaired and he Is now devot-
ing him self to complete rest. Foi
eight years he was collector Of inter
nal revenue, receiving his appoint
ment from President Wilson,

ANTHRACITE COAL
STRIKE SETTLED

Philadelphia. Pa. - The anthracite
coal strike which has kept the hard
coal industry Of the country tied up
for five months, ended here Sunday
morning, when, after a three-hour con-
ference, representatives of the opera
tors and officials of the United Mine
Workers signed an agreement.
In the settlement, the represents
tives of the miners repeated virtually
their victory in the bituminous fields
when they forced an agreement on
their terms.
The agreement has the approval OF
President Harding and embodies the
following provisions:
Contracts in force March 81, 1922,
to be extended to August 81, 1923.

Automobile Hits
Front Of Hotel

A tourists automobile glided up
against the front of the St. Nichols
hotel building in making the turn at
corner of Main and Third streets,
Monday.
The car was driven by young
girl Of apparently little experience in
handling motor. Her father riding
in the seat with her called her at
tention to the turn after the car had
passed the center Of the street in
tersection. Instead of proceeding on
down the street to the Second street
intersection to turn around, the girl
whipped the steering wheel around,
and the car shot across the street and
curb, landing headon against the
front Of the hotel.
The automobile grazed the lamp
post on the corner, and crashed its
two front springs into the building.
The momentum, though the speed was
not fast and the man put on the en-
ergancy brake, was enough to force
the ends of the springs through the
side of the building, leaving two
holes.
This was the only damage to the
building, though one of the springs
crashed just below the frame holding
of big plate-glass window, which
was not even cracked. The owner Of
the car was not arrested, AMI paying
for repairs to the buildin, departed.
This particular corner, where the
state highway turns south, leading to
Pendleton, is considered one Of the
most dangerous in the county, and ag-
itation is being made for less speed
and more prominent direction signs,
that chances of accident may be less
ened.

INJUNCTION ISSUED
AGAINST SHOpMEN
Drastic Step Is Taken BY At
torney-General to Keep
Cars Moving.

Chicago.-By one Of the most drastic
steps ever taken in strike situation,
the United States government obtained
q temporary federal order restraining
striking railroad shopmen, their off,
GERS and affiliated bodies throughout
the country from interfering In any
way whatever with the operation OF
the nations railroads.
The restraining order, hearing on
which was set for September II. was Is.
sued by Federal Judge Wilkerson, up
on the petition of Attorney General
Daugherty, who came here from Wash
ington to argue the action.
The underlying principle involved In
the action, the attorney general said,
in concluding his argument for the
order, is "the survival and the supre-
macy Of the government Of the United
States"
Declaring that his request was not
aimed at union labor, the attorney gen
eral said that the step was necessary
to the preservation of the unions
themselves. At the same time he as
serted that the government expected
to use its authority to prevent the
'tlabor union from destroying the open
shop"
"When the unions claim the right u
dictate to the government and to dom
mate the American people and deprive
the American people Of the necessities
of life," he warned, then the govern
ment will destroy the unions, for ths
government Of the United States is su
preme and must endure" q
