REED COLLEGE IN
new WAR ON ALL
REDS, LIBERALS

PORTLAND, Ore, Jan. 5-The re-
gents of Reed college, a privately en-
dowed Portland institution once fam
GUS for its liberal educational expert
ments, are giving notice to the stu
dents that there are some things in
the established order that are sacred.
When Pres. Richard Scholz died the
students wanted Alexander Meikle-
ohm. ousted liberal president of Am
herst, to be appointed but the regents
named Norman Coleman, practically
IN unknown figure.
No Hurry.
The Oregon Liberal, published at
215 4th ST., declares that the regents
are determined to sit hard on econo-
mic heresies in the student body.
THE cry set up that youth is respon-
sible for the dissatisfaction at Reed"
says The Liberal, lis smoke screen
to hide the fact that economic teach
ing at Reed is to remain well in hand
and that the students shall not do
too much prying around the founda-
ton stones Of economic privilege lest
they discover Just what conditions
are.
No Social RadIealism.
These are days when You may be
as radical as you please about the
depths and structure of the sidereal
universe or the chromosomes of
guinea-pigs, but little digging now
and then on the question OF the dis
tribution of the economic income of
the local community or the nation is
held up as dangerously radical and
evidence Of an impulsive revolt of
youth which must be sternly curbed."

Ruthenberg arrived here early to-
day from Chicago and appeared in
court accompanied by his attorney,
Isaac E. Ferguson, of Chicago. The
court room was as crowded as on
the most interesting day Of the trial
that resulted in Ruthenberg's convic-
ton; the same court room that saw
the disagreement in Fosters trial, az
ter long and hard fought legal bat
tie.
Ruthenberg was not permitted to
address the court, stating his views as
Communist on trial in capitalist
court, before sentence was passed.
After sentence, however he issued a

COAL STRIKE UP
TO ARBITRATION
Teamsters Get No Pay
Raise Yet

The three thousand members of the
Coal Transfers Union will return to
work this morning after a one day
day strike that completely tied up
Chicago coal deliveries, and threw a
scare into industrial, commercial and
municipal users Of coal. A conference
between the union officials and repre-.
sentatives of the coal merchants as
ISOLATION, which met during the great
er part of yesterday at the Atlantic
Hotel, agreed that the men should re-
turn to work while committees rep
resenting both sides "arbitrated" the
differences.
The outcome Of the conference is
at least temporary victory for tht
coal merchants association, as the
teamsters have as yet gained nothing
by their walkout. The coal merchante
declared that the drivers are return
ing to work on the old scale, pendinl

headquarters that the men will work
starting today, on the scale deter
mined by the arbitration" commit
tees.
The strike was effective while
1t lasted, the union drivers tieing up
coal deliveries even Of the small in
dependent coal dealers. The large
companies made on effort to deliver
coal yesterday.
At one o'clock yesterday afternoon
the conference between the repre-
sentatives of the Coal Transfers I'm
ion and the coal merchants associa-
ton was still going on, no agreement
having been reached.
In spite of the fact that Marshall
Keig, member of the Coal Mer-
chants association, earlier had term
ed the demands Of the coal drivers as
ridiculous" as soon as the strike
went into effect the coal merchants
asked T. j. Lynch and Milton Booth.
presidents of local unions 704 and
7S2, for q conference. The conference
was expected to be over at two o'clock
but near that time chairs and food
were sent for and a prolonged con-
ference appeared likely. I'VE are far
from any agreement" said one Of the
representatives OF the strikers in the
conference.
The strikers are demanding an in
crease OF s1.00 per day, and working
regulations which exempt them from
having to load coal from the trucks
they drive.
The union headquarters at 637 s.

ganized picketing is being carried on.
However, the coal truck drivers were

WASHINGTON, Jsr. ST.
Frances much heraIded ''pro-
position" for the funding of her
$4,000, 100000 war debt to the
United States was officially re-
vealed today as only an empty
gesture, which for the present
does not afford a suitable basis
on which serious funding nego-
tiations can be begun.
The communication which
Ambassador Herrick forwarded
to the state department over the
week end was not addressed to
the American government, or
did it come from the French
government, but was a "per-
sonal memorandum" from FL
nance Minister Clementel which
contained no definite nor con-
crete suggestions for payment.
In view of this fact, it was said to
be doubtful whether the American
debt funding commission even would
be assembled to consider the French
communication. A copy OF was sent
to Secretary of the Treasury Mellon
for his information. NJ. ClementaTs
memorandum was devoted almost en-
tirely to an exposition Of French
public opinion on the general subject
of war debts.
If examination of the French memo
randum bears out the information
concerning it cabled from abroad
that France has proposed a ten year
moratorium and an interest rate of
one-half of one percent over a period
Of eighty or ninety years-then IL Is
considered certain here that the com.
mission will reject the terms propos
ed, and call upon the French govern.

with the the American policy. Amer.

The chief hope Of administration
officials today was that the French
communication would be found to con.
tain sufficient meat" to warrant seri.

will not be calculated to improve

than dozen senators, some Of them

1t was believed a decree would be
forthcoming soon, declaring that all
deputies who do not attend sessions of
parliament would be deprived of their
seats. The boycott had been the
weapon Of opposition deputies and
their means Of showing their disap-
proval of "Mussolini despotism."
Mussolini practically has placed
Italy on a basis of martial law, with
the strictest orders for suppression Of
anti-fascist organizations, special
militia guarding the railway stations
and the fascist projects authorized to
mobilize the black shirt militia.
A railway strike under Communist
leadership is said to be in preparation
to prevent the movement Of fascist

Boxing Exhibition
Wednesday Unusually
Attractive e

, Next Wednesday night the boxing
Exhibition in the Parco Gymnasium
will be in full swing at S p. m. Every
thing is ready 10 go and the boxers
ire In the best of shape.
Heinie Shuman OF Rawlins and
Bull" Moser of Denver are slated
to go ten rounds in the main event.
Both men are unusually good boxers
and should put on the best bout that
has been seen in this part of the
country for a long time.
Heinie Shuman has fought practic-
ally all of the leading weller weights
OF the world except Mickey Walker.
For the past year and a half he has
been idle from the ring the greater
part of the time owing to an injury
TO his eye received in his last battle
against Dave Slade, the logical o
tender for the welterweight cham
pionship
Convinced that he has fully re-
covered from the injury to his eye.
Shuman is starting again on n boxing
campaign which he expects will bring
him to the prominent position he
once held in pugilistic circles.
Among some OF Shuman's promin-
ent battles might be mentioned the
following: Johnny Griffiths. the Ak
ron fash, lost ON twelve round de-
cision and won n twelve round de-
cision: Dave Slade, won n twelve
round decision and lost n ten round
decision. won from Joe Benjamin,
present contender for lightweight

Jimmy Hanlon a sensational fifteen
round draw. beat Mel Coogan in IL
rounds: beat Harvey Thornc once and
fought one draw; beat frankie Muir
ply twice and won from numerous
other boxers less prominent. In nd-
ditlon to. these battles Shuman holds
the enyiable record OF never having
been knocked out.
