COAL CRISIS IN
WASHINGTON OVER

Olympia Wash, July 19.-
There is less serious cause for
alarm in the present status Of the
coal strike situation than probab-
ly at any time since the strike be-
gan, according to the belief ex-
pressed by Director Edward Cliff
ford of the department of labor
and industries here today. Il
think there is more of a likeli-
hood now of the miners and oper-
ators getting together in the va
rious districts of the country for
the purpose of arriving at district
settlements" said Mr.. Clifford.
1t was indicated that an agree
ment in this state is probably
close to realization.

to the telegram of President Hard
ing in which he stated no trouble
is being experienced in this state
and he felt no necessity would

MOTION FOR
STRIKING OUT
BEING HEARD
Olcott Attorneys Win
First Point When Court
Rules Motion in Order
Debate Rights of Voter

First blood was drawn by the
Olcott forces in the hearing today
Of the Hall contest election suit
here when the attorneys for Hall
attacked the motion filed by Oh
colt to strike out of the petition
filed by Charles Hall those por-
tions attacking the right of a vot-
er to change his registration at
the polls and the right of voter
registered in one precinct to cast
his vote in another precinct for a
candidate for state office on the
grounds that the only legal action
to be taken at this time was the
filing of an answer. Judges Kelly
and Bingham held that the mo-
tion to strike out was in order II
there was any irrelevant material
in the petition for recount.
Change Of Registration.
w. S. U'Ren, attorney for Hall,
made the statement that his side
was prepared to bring into court
1000 persons who were affiliated
with other parties who had on the
dav of the primaries obtained re-
uublican ballots by one method or
another and voted for Olcott
which he held to be illegal.
Discussion of whether or not a
voter has the right to change his
registration or not was taken up
by Jay Bowerman, attorney for
Olcott, and took up nearly the en-
tire morning session. The pro-
vision in the Oregon primary law
for registration of voters at the
polls is the thing which saves the
law from being unconstitutional,
according to Bowerman.
Changed Registration.
One of the allegations in the
Hall petition is to the effect that
In certain specified precincts vot-
ers registered as other than re-
publicans changed their registra-
tion at the polls to that of repub-
lican and that these votes were
cast for Olcott. Such reregistra-
tlon is attacked as illegal.
The first primary law enacted
in Oregon, Bowerman declared In
his argument before the court
this morning, failed to make pro
vision whereby voter whose
name was not on registra-
tion list could cast a ballot
Carried into court the law was
held to be unconstitutional on
this point.
