Dy EDWARD W. PICKARD.
Yielding to the authority nnd power
if the government, the leaders of the
Mine Workers' union compiled with
the inandntory order of Judge Ander
ioii nnd called off the strike. Their
action was balled with delight by
tho authorities nnd by tho country gen
erally, but its expected good effect
was not apparent immediately. In
deed, In most of the bituminous dis
tricts tho men showed a disposition to
remain idle until their wngo demands
had been adjusted. This, however, was
doubtless due to their incomplete understanding-
of tho situation and to
unavoidable delay In distributing the
cancelling order.
Tho government lost no time In tak
ing steps to bring about an amicable
agreement between the operators nnd
Hie men. The cabinet Instructed Sec
retary of Labor Wilson to summon nil
pnrtles to n conference In Washington,
and at this writing tho representatives
of both sides nre trying to formulate a
new working pnet. The cabinet
members were sdl of the opinion thnt
tho miners' ofllcinls were entitled, by
their action, to tho fullest considera
tion of their list of grievances, and
Hint the operators should bo held to
their promise to submit to negotiation,
and, If that falls, to arbitration.
Compllnncc with the court order by
the miners' otllcials came ns something
Df a surprise to the exocutlvo com
mittee of 'the American Federation of
Labor, which had advocated resistance
and promised unlimited support to the
strikers. The federation leaders rec
ognized a tremendous threat In the
Injunction method adopted by the gov
ernment, and, not retreating from their
announced position, have started on
a campaign to defend tho fundamental
principles of organized Inbor. In the
drst place, they advised the mine work
Brs to enrry to the Supreme court nn
appeal from Judge Anderson's restrain
ing order. This Mr. Lewis declined to
do, nt least before the Washington con
ference, for they apparently have ac
cepted the government's assurance that
the suit was not to prevent strikes
Kone;nlly, but to prevent violation of
the law. The federation also has de
cided, It was reported, to oppose In
congress the extension of the Lever
food nnd fuel act asked for by tho
attorney general, for the purpose of
! aenllngwlth strikes and other restrle
Hons of necessary production. It will
also oppose the antl-strlke provisions
of tho Cummins railroad hill.
On the other hand, Senator Cummins
planned to Introduce an amendment to

re
fuel, foodstuffs, clothing, Iron and steel
and building mnterhils. No doubt the
fate of this amendment will depend
largely on developments before it Is
considered by the senate, for many
senators who are agnlnst Injunctions
as a general policy are determined to
seo that tho American peoplo are not
oppressed by the tyranny of a rein
lively small class,
A crisis Is approaching In both rail
road labor and rnllrond legislation,
The railroad brotherhoods nre still ne
gotiating with Director Genornl Hlnes

creases they aro trying to get bofore
return of the roads to prlvnte own-
ershlp will not be granted. In that
In the bituminous coal region of
General Yudenltch's antlbolshevlk
use It Is likely they will call a strike
by December 1. Unless by that time
pence hns been officially proclaimed,
such a strike could bo attacked by tho
Injunction method under the Lever
act, In the opinion of government ofll
cinls, since It would absolutely tio up
tho distribution of necessities of life.
The Insistent need of legislation for
the return of tho railroads to their
former owners before the president
gives them up has led to talk of Jetting
thnt take precedence In the senate over
I he peuce treaty. This, however, is
not likely to occur. But something
must be done very soon. Representa
tive Esch's railroad bill has been made
public, nnd some features of It hnve
aroused loud protests, In congress nnd
out of It. The measure contulns no
nntt-strlke and lockout provisions, nnd
n fight to Introduce such clauses will
be made In tho house. Other changes
thnt will be proposed will be to pre
vent the railroads from perpetuating
nnd enlnrglng their ownership of wa
ter linos. Thetus Sims of Tennessee
hopes to present a substitute bill for
government ownership of rights of way
and other physical nronertles of the
roads, with private operation under
lease. At any rate, he will offer an
amendment limiting railroad execu
tives salnrles to $20,000 a year.
The prohibition situation Is get
ting decidedly complicated, tho de
velopments of the week being In fn
vor of tho wets. When tho Ohio vote
had been ofllclnlly counted it was
found the people had defeated rati
fication of tho federal constitutional
amendment, two and three-fourths per
cent beer, repeal of tho state prohibi
tion nnd the Crnbbe enforcement net.
If enough more of the states' whose
constitutions contain tho referendum
provision follow tho example of Ohio,
the federal amendment might be killed.
In Louisville, Ky., Federal Judge Ev
ans, in effect, held war-time prohibi
tion unconstitutional and enjoined tho
lnternnl revenue collector nnd district
attorney from Interfering with tho sale
by two distilleries of their tnx-pald
whisky. Federal Judge Brown at Prov
idence, R. I., Issued nn Injunction re
straining the government ofllcers from
enforcing the wnr-tlme prohibition net,
nnd declared his belief that the Vol
stead enforcement net Is unconstitu
tional, being repugnant to tho prohibi
tion amendment. In Providence the
sale of 4 per cent beer was resinned
Immediately. Judges Carpenter nnd
FItzhenry In Chicago heard nrguments
In n similar case nnd tho wets wore
confident that their decision would bo
tho same ns thnt of Judge Brown.
Meanwhile Internal Revenue Com
missioner Roper Is going calmly nhead
preparing tho machinery for the en
forcement of both wnr-tlino and con
stitutional prohibition. This machin
ery will be put In motion on Novem
ber 17. and Its chief engineer will bo
John F. Kramer of Mansfield, O., who
has been appointed national prohibi
tion commissioner. The country hns
been divided Into nine districts, each
of which will have supervising ngeuts j
there will be a director for each state,
and a large mobile force under the
orders of Mr. Kramer. Wherever the
stato and municipal otllcers fall to en
force the prohibition tows, the fed
eral agents will act.
Secretary of Stato Lansing, after be
ing told of the Ohio vote, said the
repudiation of lhe constitutional
amendment has no effect on the de
partment's proclamation of Inst Janu
ary putting tho country under prohibi
tion next January 10.
"We received formal legal notice of
the ratification by the Ohio leglsln
tuny he said, "through the proper
channels and from tho proper ofllcinls

nor can we question the legality of tho

The war which the government, with
the npproval and backing of nil good
citizens, Is waging on tho rcdlcals who
Infest tho country continues, and
might bo said to be having excellent
results, If thero were not such iinnc
countable delny In the deportation of
the anarchists who havo boon caught.
Several Incidents of tho week may
well serve 40 speed up the proceed
lugs. The most serious was nt Con-
tialla, Wash., where members of the
I. W. W. fired a volley Into an Arm
Istlco day parade, killing four mem
hers of the American Legion and
West Virginia. 2. Russian otllcers
army. 3. Headquarters of the Amer-
wounding others. A number of the
culprits were arrested nnd one of them
was lynched, the others being saved
from the enraged people by the men
of tho Amerlcnn Leclon. whoso be
havior throughout was worthy of the
hhhost praise. In addition to murder,
the prisoners will be chnrged with
conspiracy to overthrow the govern
ment. A large number of radicals
locked up In Detroit, plotted n Jnll de
livery, but n trusty betrayed tho plan
to the sheriff, nnd it wns frustrated.
Senator Polndexter of Washington
blames the administration for leniency
towards the radicals, but government
officials say tho onus rests on con
gress, pointing out that there are 52
bills pending in congress which were
drafted for the purpose of giving the
government all the nuthority needed to
denl with the bolshevik, anarchistic,
and other nntl-Amerlcnn organizations
now operating In this country.
Moving slowly and fitfully onward
toward u final vote on tho peace treaty,
tho senate on Thursday "cut the heart
out of the League of Nations," If Pres
ident Wilson's view is to be accepted.
By n vote of 40 to 83 it adopted the
Lodge reservation to article X of tho
league covenant," this being Its text:
"The United States assumes no obll-
gntlon to preserve the territorial in
tegrity or political independence of
nny other country or to interfere In
controversies between nations wheth
er members of tho league or not un
der the provisions of nrtlcle 10, or to
employ tho military or naval forces of
tho United Stntes under any nrtlcle of
the treaty for any purpose, unless In
any particular caw the congress,
which, under the constitution hns tho
sole power to declare war or authorize
the employment-of the military or na
vnl forces of the United Stntes, shall
by act or Joint resolution so provide."
Every Republican In the senate and
four Democrats voted for this reser
vation, which is especially distasteful
to the president.
The first national convention of the
American Legion wns held at Mlnne
npblls, and wns a huge success. The
next meeting will be held In Cleve
land, opening September 27, 1020.
Franklin D'Oller of Philadelphia, a
former lieutenant colonel, holding the
distinguished service medal nnd tho
Legion of Honor, wns elected nntion
nl commander.
The most Important nctlon taken by
the convention was the warm indorse
ment of universal mllltnry training,
with a small standing army and no
compulsory mllltnry service in time,
of pence. It whs recommended that
the national citizen army be under lo
cal control, subject to national regula
tions. A resolution which was adopt
ed with cheers cnlled for tho disfran
chisement nnd deportntlon of Victor
Berger of Wisconsin, who was unseat
ed by the house of representatives for
his disloyal utterances during the war.
Another resolution ndopted expressed
the feeling thnt financial losses sus
tained by every soldier and snllor
should be nllevlnted promptly by the
government, but left It to congress to
determine the form the compensation
should take. On motion of California
nnd Ilnwail delegates, tho convention
demanded thnt congress forever ex
clude tho Japanese from Amerlcnn
shores, thut fprelgn-born Japanese
shall bo barred' from American citi
zenship, nnd that congress submit a
constitutional amendment that no
child born In the United States of
foreign parentage shall he eligible to
American citizenship unless Its parent?
were so eligible when the child wot
born. Translations of foreign lan
guage newspapers wero demanded.

Arrests Aro Probable.
Chicago, 111. Seven days after of
ficers of the United Mine Workers or
America lmd called off the nation
wlth strlko in tho bituminous mines In
obedience to the nmndnte of u federal
court, about 400,000 miners were Idle
nnd Indications wero that, generally,
they would remain out, except pos
sibly, In West Virginia, where union
leaders and operators were calling
upon them to return to the mines, nnd
In Wyoming, whore u wngo agreement
had been effected, until u wngo scale
Is adopted by miners' representatives
nnd operators nt Washington.
The union lenders still deinnnd a 00
per cent increase In pny nnd n six-hour
day.. Prlvnte advices from Washing
ton are that the operators wero con
sidering offering wngo Inerenses aver
aging 20 per cent,. nnd that the ques
tion of hours was not under discus
sion. T. W. Proctor, regional coal commit
tee chalrmnn, said that continued non
production of coal for another week
would likely menu a shutdown of
every non-essential Industry west ot
the Mississippi river.
As u coal conservation mensuro, the
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul rail
road cancelled ten pnsengertruins.
Appeals for conl from Montana,
North nnd South Dakota and the
northwest generally hnve been re
ceived by Mr. Proctor.
A committee from Sioux City, In.,
called upon 15. .7. Rowo, federal west

of coal for Iowa Industry. Mr. Rowo
felt obliged to decline when he said
be found the Iown supply as great on
the average as elsewhere In tho cen
tral west.
From Indianapolis comes the report
of arrests In connection with the gov
ernment's Injunction proceedings
against the United Mine "Workers'
union nre probable.
It Is said thnt federal agents nre
gathering evidence of reported viola
tion of the injunction with n view to
preferring charges of contempt oT
court ngnlnst members of tho miners
union. According to Information re
ceived by these agents, meetings hnve
been held In different! sections of the
country nt which tho minors voted not
to, return to work even though the

JOHNSON GOOD SPORT.

London. William E. ("Pussyfoot'.')
Johnson, the American prohibitionist
whose campaign in England was rude
ly Interrupted by n band of students,
who rode him through a number of
prlnclpnl streets on a plank nnd other
wise handled him roughly, ns a result
of his attitude toward the adventure
is one of the most talked of and pop
ular figures of the day. The general
verdict of the newspapers Is that he
is n "good sport."
Mr. Johnson could not have desired
n better advertisement than the Inci
dent for his campaign ngnlnst the
liquor traffic, and his future public ap
pearances likely will command atten
tion by reason of the fact that lie has
announced himself ns considering the
hnzlng he underwent n good Joke.
The opposition to tho Antl-Snloon

has been based on tho feeling that It
was Impertinent for nn American pro
