SHOWDOWN ON MINE PROFITS

Is Needed, Says W. G. McAdoo, in in Public Statement. New York, Nov. 26. —A showdown on profits made by bituminous operators is needed for the American people to form a just opinion of the coal situation, Wm. G. McAdoo, former secretary of the treasury, declared today. Mr. McAdoo’s statement was made after he had read an Associated Press dispatch from ington giving the substance of the open telegram addressed to him by the operators, criticizing him for “injecting” himself into the wage controversy- Mr. McAdoo had not received the telegram itself. “The question is whether or not the coal operators ar# making excessive profits,” said his statement, “yhelr income tax returns filed under oath, will give an understanding of the truth and the facts. If they are making excessive profits, as they were clearly making in 1917, then any increase of wages that imight be . made to the miners, should not be passed to the public in the form- of increased prices for bituminous coal. 'A showdown* will enable the American people to form a just opinion.”

THE TWICE-A-WEEK DEMOCRAT

MINUTE MEN RESPOND

Pick and Shovel Brigade Rally to Kansas Mines. Volunteers Ready to Save People From Freezing at Governor's Call , for Help. Topeka, Kan., Nov. 28. —To protect the people from “unspeakable suffering” from cold ami coal shortage, Governor Allen has asked for volunteer coal diggers and more than 400 have responded. A formal statement by the governor, said the state “is brought to the pass of using all its power to protect the people, whose suffering will be unspeakable unless relief Is afforded.” The Wichita post of the American Legion has 200 men. signed up and ready to go to the mines at once, and among the volunteers were the owners of five steam shovels. Each shovel is -Biiid to be able to uncover 300 to 400 tons of coal a day In a strip mine. • The governor expects that 4,000 to 5,000 men will respond. The state will list them and it is hoped they will start work Saturday or Monday. At Pittsburgh, Kan., Thomas Hardy, secretary-treasurer of the United Mine Workers In Kansas, said of the volunteer coal diggers: • "There will be no question of the attitude of the district or officers. From the standpoint of the union officers, all men who came into the field to work at the strip pits will be strikebreakers.” ' ■ / t

BRITISH LABOR ROW IN SIGHT

Split Seen in Alliance of Miners, Rail and Transport Men. London, Nov. 28.—A big split in the labor triple alliance of miners, failway men and transport men is threatened at a joint meeting of the executives in London. The trouble is an aftermath of the railway strike when the railroaders went out without notice to the allies, who are now dissatisfied with their negotiations with the government for a joint control similar to the Plumb plan on the ground that It cuts the ground from under the nationalization policy to which the miners are committed. It also Is a personal Issue between J. H. Thomas, the railway leader, who is regarded as a conservative, and Robert Smillie of the miners, who is a radical. The result may commit the most powerful English labor combination, if not to a split, to either a constitutional or radical policy. \

VANDERBILT GETS $4,000,000

Nashville (Tenn.) University Is Given Large Sum of Money. New York, Nov. 28.—Vanderbilt university at Nashville, Tenn., has been given $4,000,000 by the general education board to effect an entire reorganization of its medical school, it was announced here. The gift, the largest yet made by the board, comes from its general funds, the announcement says, and not out of John D. Rockefeller’s recent donation of $20,000,000 for the promotion of medical education. Detailed plans have npt yet been developed, but they will involve completion of the present Galloway Memorial hospital, with enlarged facilities for public patients, erection of an additional hospital unit, organization of a modern laboratory building, and the appointment of an Increased number of professors.

WANTS TO GAIN MORE TALK

Government Plays for Time in Signing Peace Treaty. Berlin, Nov. 28.—According to the Berliner Zeitung, Herr von Simson; who went to Paris as head of the mission in connection with the protocol to be signed prior to formal promulgation of the peace treaty, will not return to the French capital. Baron Kurt von Lersner, the chief representatives of Germany in France, has received fresh Instructions which will lead to the resumption of the interrupted negotiations, the newspaper declares. The new instructions, the newspaper states, are calculated to prove to the entente that the German government sincerely desires to fulfill its obligations.

HISTORY TO REPEAT

Wilsoir Will Not Go to Capito! Next *..:nday. Repo, ten President Will Not Address Cengroan Till It Yields on Trusty. Washington. Noy. 28. — President Wilson will not go to the capito) when congress reconvenes Monday, to read his message. . Ills physical comlltloiA will not permit him to do so. But it is doubtful if he would go if he were physically able. Some of the president’s friends are predicting that he Ims made his lakt trip to the ns president, unless the senate compromises on, the position It has taken on the peace treaty. If this prediction, should prove true, history would again repeat Itself. When President Wilson decided to personally address congress he revived a custom established by George Washington, but obsolete since Washington’s time. Washington himself gave up appearing in person before congress toward the close of his second term, and for the same reason which, It is nojv predicted—with a reservation —President Wilson will give it up. John Quincy Adams in his memoirs relates that President Washington went to the senate wdth the draft of a treaty; that the senate “debated and proposed alterations,” so that when Washington left the senate chamber he said he would be “damned if he ever went there again.”

MICHIGAN SUGAR DUE SOON

Stanley Wyckoff, Federal Fair Price Commissioner, Says Several Carloads Have Been Shipped From Refineries. Indianapolis, Nov. 28. —Word was received by Stanley Wyckoff, federal fair price commissioner for Indiana, that several carloads of sugar had been shipped from sugar beet refineries in. Michigan and are now on their way to Indianapolis. These cars followed by regular shipments in the future, should relieve all semblance of a sugar famine with reasonable conservation on tte part of the public. Iu answer to numerous inquiries at his office as to the advisability of buying Louisiana cane sugar at the higher price, Mr. Wyckoff advised strongly against stocking up with any reserve. A few cases of profiteering on the part of retailers who have been selling beet sugar at Louisiana cane sugar prices have been reported to Mr. Wyckoff. Such complaints are to be investigated and the evidence turnetl over to L. Ert Slack, United States district attorney, for action. Mr. Wyckoff issued a call for the newly appointed fair price committee of Marion county to meet at the Chamber of Commerce building next Monday at £ :30 p. m. Operative plans will be discussed and the report of the subcommittee made at the meeting. L. Ert Slack is to address the meeting and present plans whereby the department of justice may work in co-operation with the committee in its fight on food profiteers. However strong a gale may be blowing not a breach of wind is felt by the occupants of a balloon.

’TWAS FOREGONE CONCLUSION

That new Labor party formed at- Chicago this week and which expects to rally to its standard all the riff raff, socialists and anarchists of the country, resoluted against and cqpdemned the peace treaty and league of nations. This was only to have been expected, and shows the compaisy the opponents of the treaty and league covenant in the U. S. senate are in. In speaking of the new party the Lafayette Journal (Rep.) says: The release of Eugene Debs, Kate O’Hare, Carl Hessler and 1,000 other prisoners who violated the laws of the land and advocated sedition and sabotage while the nation was engaged in war, is demanded, as is the repeal of the espionage and other legislation by means of which the country is able to defend itself against the attacks of those who stand ready to plunge the assassin’s knife into its back in time of emergency. , Yes, we should judge tnat a splendid beginning has been made to assemble all the elements of discontent and disorder and disloyalty under one banner. Perhaps it is well; it will give the people an- opportunity to know just who it is that stands for the overthrow of liberty and the setting up of license. And yet the Journal apparently heartily endorses the position of its party as represented in the U. S. senate, which holds the same views on the peace treaty and league of nations as does this bunch of malcontents, whom it' justly condemns.
