THREATENED COAL STRIKE

(Continued from Page One)

■mpon the specific proposition by the individual members of the United Mine Workers of America throughout the United States, an almost unprecedented proceeding. I can not ‘believe that any right of any Aimerican worker needs for its protection the taking of this extraordinary step and I am convinced that when the time and money are considered it constitutes a fundamental attach, which is wrong • both morally and legally, upon the rights of society and upon the welfare of our country. I feel convinced that individual members of the United Mine Workers would not * vote, upon full consideration, in favor of such a strike, under these conditions. t “Wlhen a movement reaches a point vyhere it appears to involve practically the entire productive capacity of the country with respect to one of the most vital necessities of daily domestic and industrial life, and when the (movement is asserted in t'he circumstances I have stated, and at a time, and in a manner, calculated to involve the maximum of dangers in the public welfare in this critical hour of our country's life, the public Interest becomes the paramount consideration. “In these circumstances I solemnly request both the national and the local officers and also the Individual members of the crnited Mime Workers of America to recall all orders looking to a strike on Nov. 1, and to take whatever steps . may be necessary to prevent any stoppage of work. "It is time for plain speaking. These matters with which we notv deal, touch not only the welfare of a class, but vitally concern the well being, the comfort and the very life of the people. I feel it is my. duty in the public interest to declare tfrat any attempt to carry out the purpose of this strike and thua to paralyze the Industry of the country with the consequent sufferings and distress of all our people, must be considered a grave moral’and legal wrong against the government and the people of the United States. I -can do nothing else than to say that the law will be enforced and the means will be found to protect the interests of the nation in any emergency that may arise out of this unhappy business. * ; ''■?

“I .express no opinion on the merits of the controversy. I have already suggested a plan by which a settlement may be reached and I hold myself in readiness at the request of either or both sides to ■appoint at once a tribunal to investigate all the facts with a view to aiding in the earliest possible orderly settlement of the questions at issue between the coal operators and the coal miners, to the end that the Just rights, not only of those interests, but also of the general public, may be fully protected.’’

AUTOMOBILES

Oct. 28, 1919. Dear Sir: "Try it for yourself,” ■we said when the Essex was first announced. All we asked was that you give it an opportunity to speak for Itself. We feared that if we tried to tell you what a wonderful car the Essex really is, you would accuse us of exaggeration. • So all we said was, “Won’t you come and ride with us?” But now the Essex is no longer forced to speak for itself. Three hundred thousand persons in all parts of the country have ridden in it since it made its debut last January. Three hundred thousand tongues today are telling of its beauty, luxury and marvelous perfomniance. Thofffeands of Essex cars are daily rolling up miles of satisfactory service for their enthusiastic owners. And less than a year ago the Essex was unknown to the public although it 'had been ini course of construction and subjected to the most rigid tests for more than two years. Today thousands hail it as the motoring sensation of the year. Will you not also make its acquaintance? We will be only too glad to bring it to you at ypur convenience. Yours very truly,

MELON HAS YELLOW CORE

Senator New, After Ten Years, Able to Tell Wife, "I Told You So." Washington.—Ten years ago Senator Harry New happened to mention to his wife, while they were eating watermelons, that he had once seen and tasted a watermelon with a yellow core. Mrs. New said that all she had ever seen were red. The senator declared he would prove his veracity by showing his wife, some time, a watermelon with a yellow heart. Since that time Senator New has been continuously on the watch. He even tipped off bls friends and they have looked long and carefully for a yellow melon. Recently an express package came to the senator’s home .here. It contained a watermelon, just as green as any watermelon on the outside, but when cut, the meat was pure golden, without a streak of red. Thanks to one of his Hoosier friends, the senator now says to his wife, "I told you so.”

New Vaccine Method Used to Check the Flu

London. —A new method of preparing vaccines, which may result In complete mastery of infectious diseases, is described in the London Lancet by the discoverers, Capt. David Thomson and Capt. David Lees, doctors who ’served in the British army service. They say they can detoxicate a vaccine, which means that the poison in it can be removed. “Using the new method I have been able to Inject without toxic symptoms doses of vaccine ten to one hundred times greater than was ever dared before, with the result that a greater degree of Immunity is developed," says Doctor Thomson. Doctor Thomson believes a few doses of a compound detoxicated vaccine given in October and again in January will afford considerable protection from influenza.

MUST BE INTOXICATING BEER

Porto Rican Judge Puts Burden of Proof on the Prosecuting Attorney. ..it ■■ San Juan, P. R.—-The final test regarding the sale of alcoholic drinks in Porto Rico will be as to their intoxicating qualities and not as to percentage of alcohol contained, according to a decision just handed down by Judge Hamilton in the federal court here. The decision was in the case brought by the United States district attorney against the Porto Rico Brewing company for the sale of a quantity of beer admitted to contain 2% per cent alcohol, as authorized by the legislature following the prohibition vote in 1917. Judge Hamilton ruled that the district attorney must prove that the drink is intoxicating. Many tests of the beer are,reported to have been made by local authorities to ascertain whether it intoxicates.

NOW AND THEN

During the Freneh revolution 18,603 persons were guillotined by sentence of the revolutionary tribunal, of whom 13,623 were of plebeian origin. Napoleon, it is said, in his school days defended the name of Nero and denounced Tacitus as a calumniator for picturing the cruelties of the Roman emperor. It has been estimated by a European scientist that the qpmmercial value of the electricity in a flash of lightning lasting one-thousandth of a second is 29 cents. To warn motorists of danger at night on unlighted roads a signal has been Invented that reflects through red glass rays that it receives from automobile headlights. % ./The trigger of a New York inventor’s rifle is pressed with the thumb instead of being pulled with fingers, with the advantage that the weapon is held more steadily. ' At the present rate of increase in the consumption of native lumber in New Zealand it is estimated that the supply of standing timber will last not more than thirty years. i The Spanish government is planning to drain and reclaim for agriculture nearly 100,000 acres of lanji near the mouth of the Guadalquiver river, the work requiring nearly ten years.

Hotels Run by Government.

Two of the largest hotels in the wortd are. owned and run by the government a't Washington. They are restricted, one each to the use of senators and representatives.

The representatives* place also has a barber shop and baths. Both hotels are only a few hundred yards from the house and senate wings of the capital, respectively, and are connected by underground tunnels. The senator’s tube la equipped with a monorail track and roofless car, which can be summoned with a push button like an elevator.

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 20, t9IB

Probably the first woman In America to hold an elective school office was Emma Willard, the famous educator, who in the early part of her career was elected superintendent of schools in the town of Kensington, Conn. Dark-haired people, says an authority, get married sooner than fair-haired individuals. He has shown by statistics that an overwhelming majority of those women who live and died spinsters have fair hair.
