"A strike by enlisted men would be
mutiny, the punishment for which, OF
course, should be fixed by law. Coinci-
dentally with legislation of this kind,
would hope to see legislation pro-
viding ample safeguards, for the pro-
lection OF all just rights OF the enlist

equate provision for the obtaining Of

Congressman Tavenner, who first
dug up and gave some publicity to the
Towne letter. commented on the mat
ter today as follows:
Governor Foss' proposition follows
closely The plan for subjugating labor
that Towne has in mind. In answer
/ ing questions put by Senator Reed on
the witness stand, Mr.. Towne declar.
ed that he expects 10 live to see his
proposition enacted into law. Cover
nor FosE proposes to put It into law.
Mr.. Towne estimated that 100000
wageworkers would be included in his
scheme Of enlistment subject to pun
| ishment as mutiny in case Of strikes.
The argument advanced by Mr. Towne
that service is voluntary, not compul-
sory.' is fictitious. No labor is volun-
tary; all labor Is compulsory. since
self-respecting men must labor TO live
and must accept the jobs which are Of
! fered.
"Unioa men who read this letter and
: then read OK Governor Foss' proposi-
: ton to actually put It into concrete
form, should ask Themselves IL there
: is anything standing between them
} and the condition SIR. Towne expects
} 10 see during his lifetime except the

FIRST AND SECOND
CHURCHES MAY JOIN

Consolidation of the First and Sec
ond Methodist churches is being dis
cussed by the two congregations as a
result of the death of the veteran pas
tor of the latter, Rev. ]. S. Cumming.
Many feel that if consolidated better
work would be done and more good
accomplished than conducted as they
are at present. They favor the cree
ton of a new church at some central
point, probably near the brow of the
bluff, if the union is effected.
Rev. Mr.. Dunlayy of Aledo has been
secured to supply the pulpit of the Sec
ond church temporarily, and the con.
gregation will meet one week from
next Monday evening to consider
plans for the future.
