SATURbAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1918

APPEAL TO PRESIDENT

•Beftxeal of Fuel Administrator Garfield to Grant Increase Declared Autocratic and Unfair.

tXr»TAXAPOLIS, Ind, Nor. 2.—"Declartng that the action of Fuel Administrator Garfield, in refusing to permit the bituminous miners of the ci'jntry to have an increase in wages, is arbitrary, autocratic and unfair, the United Mine Workers of America last Hiyht appealed to President Wilson from the fuel administrator, and asked him to give them a fair hearing at which they might present their case and show why they aro entitled to higher wages.

In a telegram President Wilson Is Informed that Dr. Garfield refused to allow the bituminous miners tneir day in court for a hearing on the merits of their contention that th^v are entitled to an increfuse, although he permitted the anthracite miners to confer •with th^ anthracite operators a month ago and work out a readjustment of their wago scale, -which gave them an increase. "They (th* bituminous ihiners) deeply resent the treatment accorded the spokesman of the miners of the United States by Federal Fuel Administrator Garfield," the telegram says.

The telegram, which was sent to the president, was the outcome of a two days' conference of the international officials of the United Mine Workers of America and the presidents of the bituminous district organizations, which was concluded here tonight. It was decided to carry the case over the head of Dr. Garfield, and appeal directly to the president in behalf of the bituminous miners.

Members of the conference who have been endeavoring to convince Dr. Garfield of the Justice of the demand express the belief that the fuel administrator was firmly determined that the bituminous miners should not have an increase, and that it would be useless to deal with him further on that subject.

Mary looked at me in great surprise: "What of him?" she exclaimed, "why nothing, of course. lie will soon be going away to war anyway." "He told me the other day Tie was going and that he would fight for me." "Poor chap," said Eilene, "what will he do when he finds you are not worth fighting for?"

Mary pouted her pretty lips as she said* "Any woman to worth lighting for." "Old stuff, y dear," said 'Eilene, who nearly drives her mother wild with her slang, "do you not know that no woman is worth any more than any man.

"I do," said Eilene quickly, when Sally Saunders said she did not see the connection between Geoff Divoni's attention to Mary Pemberton and her trip abroad. "Mary knows her family, especially her father, will object seriously to her going to France, so she has looked over the young men in this town ta find one whom her father would think impossible and has proceeded to turn the poor y ns man's head knowing that her family will Choose the lesser eviL" "Surely Mary thlp is not so," I exclaimed, as before me came the picture of Geoff Divoni that morning, as he knocked Bmil Baur down for speaking slightingly of her. I knew that the young Italian loved her with all his heart and I was pretty sure she knew it. "Well you see, Margot," said Mary, and all her dimples came Into play, "I am quite sure if dad thinks I am interested in the secretary of your father, he will fall all over himself in his hurryto get me over seas before I tell him I want to marry Geoff." "And what of young DivoniI asked.

Again I thought of the light in that Italian boy's face, as he asked me not to say anything to Mary about what he had done. Mary Pemberton deliberately determined to break Geoff's heart, if necessary, to get her parent's consent to her trip abroad and Toddy's 'lack of care' or responsibility in regard to me when I Vas absent were both selfishness of the same pattern.

And that sent

another track. Did either Toddy or Mary want to go abroad because of patriotism?

Were they both not looking for another adventure? Something that would give their clammering nerves a snappier scintillation than they had ever felt before.

I pulled myself up short and took myself to task for thinking such a thing.

Whatever had been Toddy's reason, my man had been ilrst to go and he was fighting for me, I was sure of it.

Hurriedly I arose from the table. I could not sit there another moment and listen to the light talk of these girls without feeling that my ses was faithless—that all humanity was faithless.

TERRE HAUTE TRIBUNE.

A STATEMENT RELATIVE TO THE STAR ARTICLE OF OCT. 30th

The Star in its columns of October 30th., resumed its policy7 of falsehood and slander in this Congressional Campaign. I present the following official statement from the Local Board in Clay County as a Full Exposure of the lying attack by its correspondent:--.-"Officeof

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: In justice to all parties, I make the following statement, concerning the public record relative to the deferred classification of Harry A. Moss, as it appears from the official records in my keeping (records of Local Board).

Harry A. Moss, on the 28th day of August 1917 presented his claim for discharge from the selective draft, under heading "H" (a person having dependents upon his labor for support, namely a married m^n with wife and child, dependent upon his labor for support). This application was supported by the affidavits of Harry A. Moss, Florence Marie Moss (his wife) and Charles O. Rentschler of Center,Poiit, Indiana, The name of Ralph W, Moss does not appear upon this application.

This Board granted deferred classification td Harry A. Moss on the grounds of dependency, he having a wife and child and this Board has not the power to grant deferred classification on the ground of industrial or agricultural occupation. Jurisdiction over this goes to the District Board, Indianapolis, Indiana. This action was taken by the Board before the questionnaire appeared, which places mai rled men with wife and children in Class 4, Division A.

The only affidavit on file made by Ralph W. Moss in this is to the effect that the answers made by Harry A. Moss in his questionnaire relative to their partnership in farming were true.

This Official Record fully sustains my original statement relative to this contention, As is well known in this, my home County, my family for many years have carried on its farm operations under a family partnership, having only one bank account Harry has taken tfie position formerly held by his father. In making out his questionnaire which action was taken after his' classification had been gran ted by the Local Board and which in no manner affected his liability for immediate military service, Harry copied the records kept for the purpose of making our income tax returns to the Government. I signed the customary affidavit affirming that these answers were true. No other person had this knowledge and I signed the affidavit in this instance as any partner would attest to a correct record of his partnership affairs. ...

SOUNDS CALL TOSTAND BYPRESIDENT

Continued From Pag* On*,

man of commanding influence in his party, to defeat congressional candidates who have stood by the president the last two jears, ^ind to elect to congress men who wiA not stand by him. During the past two years the paramount questions considered by congress have pertained to the war, and yet this man of commanding influence in his party urges the defeat of men who have stood with the president, and asks for the election of men who will not stand by him. "Does it stand to reason that congressmen elected by influences, represented by the Wickershams 'of this country, will be steadfast and as earnest in their support of the president in what he seeks to do the next two years in war work as- will men who do not owe their election to such influences? The president thinks not, and I agree with him. "The people cannot weigh too carefully what is going on in this country, and why it is going on. Xo matter what position of honor a man may have held in the past, his words must be weighed with care when he seeks to influence the course of our nation in the fearful trouble it is now in. "Roosevelt criticises our pres'flent because the latter 'has not been willing to supplement his own self-suffi-cient ignorance by the counsel of those who would have counseled him wisely but whf would not creep into his presence as slaves.' "I measure my words, when I say that the man, who has beeh honored with the presidency of this nation and who condescends, in these troublesome times, to use language like this about President Wilson, is not right at heart. "If the ex-prcsident means to suggest that he should have been invited to a seat at the counsel table by President Wilson, I remind him that the president doubtless recalled the fate of Taft, who believed, for & wmle at least, that he could rely iipon his (Roosevelt's) counsel. Mr. Wilson doubtless believed he.should profit by the experience of Mr. Taft. "This ex-president tells the country that the bitter jest circulates in the cloalf-room of the house. 'Here's our czar—last in war, first toward peace, long may he waver.''

"No man, right at heart, will use these words in these troublesome times about an honorable man like President Wilson, burdened as lie is, except to denounce them and to denounce the traitors who speak them. "I do not want to be understood as calling in question the patriotism of Mr. Roosevelt by anything I have said.

"Guess I'll have to tag along to keep you from making a fool of yourself," was his ungracious comment.

Ten minutes later they were on their way to the Park avenue address,' Warren stalking ahead scowling and uncommunicative.

When they left the car Helen was aquiver with excitement. A thrilled sense of adventure was mingled with her very real anxiety for the child. "Oh, that's it—next to the corner," as she scanned the numbers.

It was an attractive house, red brick with white stone trimmings. Strips of orange light shone beneath the drawn shades and through the frosted glass of the colonial doorway. ".\ow, see here,*' growled '-Warren, "this is your party. Hope you've got your nerve with you—you'll need it. You're to do the talking, understand? I'm not in it."

Helen nodded and started up the steps. But her courage was all on the surface-wnwardly she was quaking.

To the maid who opened the door, Helen handed her card, saying she wished to see Mrs. Lawrence—with a slight emphasis on the "Mrs."

A trying wait. Warren unhelpfully prodded a Bokhara rug with his cane, while Helen with growing trepidation tried to frame her opening sentence.

Then steps on the stairs—and Mrs., Lawrence enfered. She was about thirty, blonde, nervously faded and thin. Her heavily fringed, straight line gown was expensively unbecoming. She held Helen's card iii her hand and looked inquiringly at them both.

Warred, having arisen and bowed, now sat down with an air that proclaimed his complete detachment. "I—I hope you'll pardon this call," floundered Helen, groping vainly for her aptly worded speech. Then des

Like all good Americans, he wants to see the kaiser licked, and effectually licked, at the earliest day consistent with a good job but I do say Mr. Roosevelt is so envious of the president and so ambitious for the future, that he has worked himself into a frenzy of hostility to the administration, arul he is, therefore, not seeing things Straight and is not allowing his better impulses to control him.

Just then with shrill staccato.- barks a tiny pomeranlan pranced into the room. It sprang into Mrs. Lawrence's lap, wriggled, 4urnped down, and began barking at Warren—sharp vicious barks.
