URGE EXTENSION
OF MINING PACT.
Lewis, Others Opposed
To Seeking Change

O.NS). Extension Of the cur
rent workers-operators contract in
the anthracite coal industry for
one year was recommended to the
miners rank and file membership
today by John L. Lewis, president
Of the United Mine Workers, and
II other officers of the organiza-
ton,
The present contract expires in
April. The extension was urged
Ito bring about continuity Of en-
ployment and general stability and
relative prosperity for the hard
coal workers.
OFFICIAL CIRCULAR
In an official circular sent to
all anthracite miners, the UNIV
chieftainS said:
ITO disturb the situation with
long drawn out negotiations
without much hope of progress,
in our judgment, would be
policy fraught with great danger
to ourselves, the industry and the
communities, and would invite
propaganda and publicity which
would not be conducive to the
extension of the markets or to
the stability of the industry"
The circular called for each local
union in districts one, seven and
nine, to conduct referendums on
extension of the contract the week
Of November 20. Results will reach
district offices by December 8.
RIGHTS PROTECTED
Regarding the present contract,
the circular said:
"It is fully protective of the
rights of our people in wages
and in hours, and we believe its
conSummation will bring about
more work and greater stability
In the region. The extension
agreement, of course, continues
the seven-hour day and the wage
adjustments provided therefor,
as well as all of the other pro-
visions of the present agree
ment, and is otherwise fully
protective of all of our inter-
eStS."
The committee of IL described
conditions in the industry as un-
settled, in pointing out the dan
ger Of attempting to negotiate
new contract in April. The gen.
eral depression, unstable price
structure and the problem of sub
Stitute fuels were cited as ex-
amples Of the general troubled
situation. 6

Early In June

Postal employees of Henderson,
have been invited to participate in the
Portland Postal Employees National
Air-Mail Rose Show to be held during
the Twenty-Ninth Annual Portland
Oregon, Rose Festival, June 9, 10, IL

Entry rules received by Postmaster
J. r. league direct attention to the
fact that last year the roses which
won the sweepstakes were sent from
Newark, N. j., and that roses from
the four corners Of the continent were
awarded trophies at the show. Speed
and efficiency of the air mail service
was demonstrated by the fact that
not only roses from cities have air
mail terminals but those from numer
Gus towns connecting by train and
star route service were displayed at
the air-mail show, as fresh and attrac-
tive as the Oregon-grown roses on dis
play at the Portland Rose Show
Through the efforts of the Portland
postal employees, the 248th entries
were all listed and on display at last

May, 1885 drew a vote of 1,61O, while
the regular "off-year" election of 1886
brought out vote of only 1853.
Various predictions have been made
rs to the size of the vote this year.
Voters will elect mayor Tor the next
two years and also one alderman from
each Of the four wards.
All four of the aldermen whose terms
expire will be candidates to succeed
themselves. All have already announc-
ed. One alderman from each ward
holds over for another year.
The balloting by wards for the
past two elections shows the following
results:

Columbia Has Navy Picture

One Of the most stirring foot
ball pictures ever filmed is cur
rently playing at the Columbia.
Navy, Blue and Gold" from
novel by George Bruce, who
also wrote the screen adapta-
ton, is strong in quaint tradi-
tions of Annapolis, where the
seamen Of tomorrow bow in rev.
erence to the academy'S hero,
John Paul Jones.
It's exciting football sequences
center around three pals, all
from different walks Of life and
with contrasting personalities,
who form a three-man squad to
send Navy on to victory. One
is conceited and egotistical, an
other is quiet and bashful and
the last, eager, energetic and
the son Of a millionaire. Robert
Young, James Stewart and Tom
Brown play the roles, respec-
lively.
OF course, no pigskin saga
could be complete without ro-
nance. and Florence Rice adds
a sincere bit acting in support
of Robert Young and Jimmy
Stewart.
There are several scenes that
make your hair raise, and sev-
eral in which Jimmy Stewart
draws out the tears with his sim
cerity and emotion.
Supporting admirably in this
picture which should go down
