COX MADE HOBOS HELP TO WIN WAR Governor Offered Vagrants Choice of Working or Going to Jail and Working OHIO ALWAYS READY Her Executive Met Problems Successfully During War and Reconstruction New York, Oct. 2. — Making con-! structive patriots out of vagrants w is 1 one of the war achievements of Ohio, already great in achievements. Before the slogan ‘‘Work or Fight” had become a nation-wide command. Ohio nad applied the stern alternative in a slightly digerent phraseology. “Work I or go to jail—and work anyhow,” war i her ultimatum. How Governor Cox in his second 1 term dug up from the dust of oblivion a law which made vagracancy not only a crime but an actual felony is old in his record as a war and reconstruction governor, set forth in the democratic campaign textbook just I issued from national headquarters, ■ Grand Central Palace, New York City. Governor Cox from the beginning had realized that production in all essential activities was a requisite to the winning of the war Discovering I the almost forgotten statute, he is , sued a proclamation calling tor the arrest of vagrants everywhere, with the alternative of a parole on con- , dition that they went to work immediately, or imprisonment at labor on workhouse farms or the state penitentiary farms and factories. Most ’ of the idlers chose to avoid imprisonment by finding Jobs and going to ■ work. Cox as a War Governor. The United States entered the war with Germany in the fourth month of Governor Cox’s second term and he set about to make Ohio responsive to ‘ every call of the nation for men, food I and commodities. As a fanner he ' knew the Importance of keeping the! fields manned for a crop production that should be adequate to the needs of the nation and the allies, and at his suggestion thousands of high I school and college students received i credits for completing the year’s ' school work by engaging in farming or war industries. To meet the situation of reduced I man power on tho farm caused by the i draft. Governor Cox issued a "farm ' tractor proclamation” urging all farm ' ers, if necessary to get full acreage • under cultivation, to purchase tractors. ! A tractor school at Ohio State Univer- ' sity afforded to men, women and boys an opportunity to learn operation ot , tractors, the banks everywhere extend , ed credit and thousands of tractors were purchased. , The state’s five tree employment ex- , changes were increased to thirty-six I with farm labor specialists at each of them. When the call came for thousands of cantonment and shipbuilders Ohio’s quota was always furnished by these exchanges overnight. This service was so well organized that the federal government adopted the Ohio plan. Most of the war activities of the state were handled through a defense counc‘l of fifty members, the outgrowth of Governor Cox’s "war cabinet,” whose personnel included representatives of business, labor, agriculture and all the social agencies. Within three weeks after the de- [ claratlon of war with Germany the Ohio National Guard had been recruited to astrength of 27,000 officers ano men and later went over the top as the Thirty-seventh Division. The guard also furnished one regiment to j the Rainbow Division In addition to these troops, more than 200,000 Ohioans j went into active s? v'ce und-ii tne seli-cllva service act the s'at-’ was organized by counties through the agenI cies of common pleas udges, so that I when the draft came non-partisan boards were promptly set up in every community and the law was administered fairly and without tint of scanI dal. Ready For Reconstruction. The war ended soon after Governor Cox's third election and he attacked the problems of reconstruction with the same energy and thoroughness that he had applied to the war activities of the state. "Ohio is ready now," I was the instant reply sent by him to the question of President Wilson in tho fall of 1918 as to how soon the state could be prepared to receive and care for her wounded boys who needed to be returned home for rehabilitation lone of the large state institutions was j made ready for this emergency. Other reconstruction problems he handled in the direct and business-like manner which has characterized his public career. He urged upon mayors to begin public improvements on tho widest scale possible to insure employment for returning soldiers, and the

state set the example by prosecuting a road building program on the great- I | est scale in its history. | To combat the menace of food prof- I ! i leering Governor C»x called a meet- I [lng of all Ohio prosecuting attorneys and urged them to call special grand i juries and to prosecute profiteers to the full extent of the law. Indictments for conspiracies to regulate or increase food prices ensued in all the larger cities; the price of bread was lowered in Columbus when the leaders of the bakers' combine in that city had been indicted and had pleaded guilty; scores of prosecutions were brought against violators of the cold storage law passed during the gov- | ernor's former term, an dtons of meat (thereby were released at lower prices. Handling of Industrial Unrest. When the wave of industrial unrest that succeeded the armistice swept over the country Ohio was not immune. But even in that crisis the steel strike involved the great steel record of six years, during which no j recourse to the militia was ever found I necessary, was preserved. When the i steel strike involved the great steel centers of eastern and northeastern Ohio Governor Cox issued a proclomatlon holding the mayors to strict accountability for the preservation of the peace. That he meant it he showed ■ in the only instance in which it wa« necessary for him to act, when lie re moved the mayor of Canton, a demo- ! crat, for failure to preserve the peace. , Under the deposed official's successor the law was successfully enforced. The coal strike last November threatened to make industry and homes fuelless and Governor Cox obtained from Ohio operators and miners an agrement to abide by a solution he would offer. Before each side had had ample time in which to consider the proposal he submitted the strike had been settled nation-wide. But all Ohio believes that it was the action of their governor that forced the issue and brought on the national settle ment.
