Man From Mars
Visits Strike Zone
By 4. II. LAREN

While investigating our wonderful
advanceded civilization ard the per
feet administration of our civic laws.
the Man from Mars thus addressed
small business man of Trinidad.
who are those people living in
those cloth houses across the street,"
"Ohi those are striking coal min
ers." replied the small business man.
And what are they striking for?''
asked the Man from Mars.
They want the state mining laws
enforced"
When you want your laws en-
forced do you people have to live in
cloth houses and quit work to secure
enforcement OF them?r
NO. we elect a governor whose
duties are TO see all laws are ex-
ecuted."
Then why does he not enforce the
mining laws2"
~oh. he is afraid that the rich mine
owners would be displeased."
And. say, who are all those men
dressed alike who seem to be shoot
ing at the cloth houses?"
THAT is the militia sent here by the
governor"
did he send them here TO enforce
the mining laws?"
NO. they are here TO protect the
mine owners so that they can keep on
violating the state laws"
How wonderfully your laws are ex-
ecuted. / am from Mars and have
been taking observations. | suppose
this governor you spoke of is treat
ing the strikers that way because they
did not vote for him."
mo. ON the contrary, the governor
is a Democrat and all union men were
advised to vote for Democrats by
their head officers. In fact they were
TO reward their friends and punish
their enemies. The strikers are thus
obtaining their reward"
Then you pass laws which are
good" said the Man from Mars. And
your governor. whom you elect to en-
force the laws. snaps his fingers at
the laws he swears he will enforce.
And because he fails TO do his duty.
your miners live in cloth houses with
but little to eat and wear and your
governor sends his militia TO force the
miners to go back to work so that the
mine owners can 20 on violating the
mining laws. What a wonderful sys-
TEN you have in Colorado. 1t is al
most as clear as bottle OF ink"

OPERATORS osEYINe ORDERS
FROM OUTSIDE SOURCES.
Have Given No Satisfactory Excuse
for Not Meeting Officers of
Mine Workers.

Former Senator Thomas NJ. Patter-
n published a letter in Sunday
gping's News in which he coun-
union men OF the state against
hll OF Governor Ammons, saying
lad done the best he could under
circumstances. He says the oper-
ators should be forced to confer with
miners union officials. The senator
further says:
This combination of operators met
the appeals OF Governor Ammons to
confer with the union officials with
dcnunciation OF them as interlopers
and intruders and much worse We
on the outside cannot know the real
facts as do those on the inside; so
ON the merits of the strike itself the
miners should at least be allowed the
benefit OF the doubt.
Nor can these national officers be
properly regarded rs rank outsiders
and Intermediates, The local miners
unions are the units that make up the
national organization. The national
body is to look after the welfare Of
the local bodies in whatever state they
exist. And when these national Off
GERS go to the different states they go
az representatives OF the local unions
within them.
There isn't n skilled trade or hard
" any class OF workmen that isn't
now unionized. i cannot conceive of
any employer whose workmen are out
on strike refusing to meet with rep

TARIFF MAY NOT
REACH THE PRESI-
DENT THIS WEEK
Conferees Slow Up Discussion of De-
bated Points-Treasury Officials
Consulted.

Washington, Sept. 24.--Present indi-
cations are that the tariff bill will not
reach President Wilson as soon as he
expected. Monday night it looked as if
an agreement on the measure would be
reached in conference and action taken
in both houses in time to permit the
president to make the bill law on
Thursday night.
After the morning conference yester-
day Mr.. Simmons. the Senate chairman,
made this statement:
Il am very hopeful that we will be
able to transmit the bill to the president
on Saturday afternoon" However, Mr..
Simmons gave the impression that he
had doubts whether the bill could be
sent to the White House before Monday
or Tuesday.
The majority of the conferees spent
the morning in a discussion of certain
features of the administration section
that are still in controversy Some prog
ress was made, according to Senator
Simmons.
The appearance before the conference
committee yesterday of Mr.. McAdoo,
secretary of the treasury, and Mr. Ham
lin, assistant secretary in charge of
customs, gave rise to report that the
Democrats had some doubts about the
revenue producing qualities of the pro-
posed tariff law This was denied by
Senator Simmons.
'The subject was not mentioned" said
Senator Simmons. Mr.. Simmons ex-
planned that the treasury officials were
consulted concerning the administrative
section.

LONG DELAY
4 ON CURRENCY
Bill May Not Reach Senate
for a Month
Yet
COMMITTEE WILL
CONSIDER POINTS
Untermeyer Again S e t S
Forth His Ideas-Sug-
gests Changes

Washington, Sept, 24.-With pros
poets for extended discussion OF the ad
ministration currency bill, the Senate
banking committee yesterday continued
to hear Samuel Untermyer of New York
discuss the measure. Senators yester.
day were of the opinion that three
weeks and possibly month will pass
fore the bill will be brought into the
Senate Mr.. Untermyer, while endors-
ing the general principles of the bill,
suggested number OF amendments
which he thought would strengthen It.
Many of these evoked lengthy discus
sions between Mr. untermyer and mem
bers of the committee.
Mr.. Untermyer made it clear that in
his testimony Monday he desired to
deny that the federal reserve board
would be able to use its influence for
political purposes "That seems to me"
he said, mot only improbable, but i'm
possible.
Senator Reed suggested charge of
two per cent. interest against banks to
which currency would be issued, to form
a sinking fund to pay off the govern
ment debt THAT is revival of the
banks guarantee idea" commented Mr..
Untermyer.
Before this bill is passed" returned
Senator Reed, Il hope to see provis-
ion written into it that will make bank
ing safer for depostors than it is now"
Complete revision of the framework
of the bill was proposed by Senators
Read, Hitchcock and Bristow yesterday
during the examination of Mr. I'M
termyer. Reed and Hitchcock have Wig
orously assailed certain provisions of
the House bill. Yesterday Senator Reed
advanced what he called the Hitchcock
plan which would entirely eliminate
from the proposed system the entire
scheme of regional reserve banks and
substitute a government issue of cur
fency to individual banks on CONNER
cial paper backed by a so per cent. gold
reserve up to 70 per cent of the capital
stock of each individual bank That
would be in addition to the present bank
note issue. Senator Reed in a long
speech advocating the plant criticised
the regional bank plan as making the
individual banks "subservient to COM
bination of banks" Mr.. Untermyer OPP
posed the Hitchcock plan as not offering
enough security to the government for
the issue of currency. The committee |
was unable to conclude the questioning |
OF Mr.. Untermyer yesterday and he will |
return Monday.
