YEAR'S RECORD ONE OF PROGRESS SAYS REV. R. L. SEMANS

"Having been brought here with promises of all that Is best in Americanism, and put Into mines, and mills with no chance ot learning the English language nor the real American spirit, the wonder to me is that the foreigners upon whom we have been laying all our Industrial troubles have not caused more trouble than they hare," said the Rer. R. L. Semans, pastor of the First M. E. church, before the union congregation gathered from many churches of the city, in the Reld Memorial church Thanksgiving morning. The Rev. Semans said that the task which lies before the American people Is to make God's kingdom and the spirit of Christ the first interest of the world. Then, he said, we shall have provided for all the problems of our social life. "Since we gathered In this church on Nov. ,11, 1918, for an Impromptu thanks service that the guns had been

stilled In the world War we have had much to be thankful for, no matter what have been our industrial problems," said the speaker. He pointed to the Anti-Saloon national amendment as one ot the greatest blessing which has come to the country. Believes In Progress. "And yet I rejoice that in the face of all these things the foundation ot our government has not been shaken; that the hearts of our people have responded; that we have not despaired of the ultimate success of our Republic. I believe as some one has pointed out, that strikes and labor unrest are a manifestation ot progress. I believe that the time is coming when we will no longer talk ot employers and employes but of partners." A large audience attended the service. Mrs. Hugh Foss presided at the organ and Hugh Foss sang a charming solo. The Reid choir sang. The Rev. Shelby Lee pronounced the invocation and the Rev. L. E. Murray, the benediction. The Rev. E. Howard Brown offered a prayer following the Scripture readinr. The President's Thanksgiving proclamation was read by the Rev. Charles Woodman. Appropriate Thanksgiving services were held in St Paul's Episcopal church at 10 a. m. Music and a sermon by the Rev. Burbanck were the features of the service. Mass was held at St. Andrew's. Tbe Rev. J. J. Rae, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, held special Thanksgiving services at 10:45 o'clock Thursday morning. A sermon and special music marked the meeting.

(Continued from Pag One) taken to Fort McKenzie. Just what disposition would be made of the men had not been announced. They were arrested after radicals In that vicinity had interfered with the return to work of miners in that vicinity who voted in favor of resuming production. Several radical leaders in West Virginia fields where production today had been reduced from 97 per cent normal to 84 per cent also were arrested by federal authorities. Alleged revolutionary literature also was seized. It was feared today that a new walkout of miners in the West Virginia fields, main dependence of the country since the strike was called, might go into effect unless the Washington conference soon was productive of an agreement. As the first move in an attempt by Governor Henry J. Allen of Kansas, to send a force of men into the mines of that state, he authorized publication of an appeal to "1,000 able bodied young men to dig coal to 'keep the home firea burning'." Traveling expenses and at least $5 a day were guaranteed by the state. By 9 a. m. today more than 400 men had responded to Gov. H. J. Allen's call for volunteer coal diggers. The applicants are sending in names in groups, representing organizations by parties formed in various towns, some of them in the coal fields and by Individuals. In western Kansas several inches of snow was on the ground and Eleet and snow storms prevailed over the state. Numerous towns were reported out of fuel. From the Rocky Mountain region also came reports of a heavy snowfall which retarded the distribution of coal. CHARLESTON, W. Va., Nov. 27. Union leaders and coal operators of West Virginia expressed the fear today that failure of the Washington con. ference to reach a settlement of the ware nuestion would result in renew

al ofthe miners' strike in this state.

Hundreds or miners nave reiurnea 10 work since the union recalled the strike order but during the past week many of tbe week in the Kanawha fields have walked out. The new strikes, according to union officials were caused by delay in the Washington conference and they said today that a spread of the walkouts could be looked for tomorrow. Mining operations in the state were retarded to a great extent due to the fact that many miners remained at home tor Thanksgiving.
