tempted to conclude that, regardless
OF what party is in power, the armor

and that it Is impossible to get it

Representative Dies answered
Tavenner at length, saying:
I am told that the sailors on these
battleships require boots and shoes,
and hats and caps and shirts. Why
not let these Moses Of Democracy.
who seek to lead the country into
the camp OF paternalism, propose that
the government should take over the

On January %, 1916, Representa-

revealed that spuring the Intervening
two years III had changed his
opinion The congressional Record
Of January % quotes him in this way:

TEXAS CONGRESSMAN CHANGES MIND
.:: AND ADVOCATES GOVERNMENT PLANTS

Representative Dies recently made
a speech against militarism that was
considered by many to have been one
Of the greatest speeches heard in the
halls of Congress in many years.
Following his discourse, he was given
a great ovation. However, the speech
was completely ignored by the large
newspapers, as many others Of a.
similar character have been.
man Dies came out squarely for the
proposition to take profit out of war
by having the government manu-
facture it's own armor, munitions,
battleships, etc., as the most practical
step in the direction Of peace that
can be taken.
It was Immediately recalled that
representative Dies had taken de-
cided issue with Representative Clyde
H. Tavenner on this very issue two
years previous. Mr.. Dies at that time
answered Congressman Tavenner's
speech for government manufacture
Of armor plate, charging that the
latter's plan would lead the nation
into 'paternalism," and away from
the constitution"
The Congressional Record for May
7, IA, reports the colloque which
took place on the floor of the House
on that day. Tavenner, for about the
fifteenth time, had introduced his
amendment for a. government armor
plate factory, and each time It had
been ruled out on. point of order
The Record shows Tavenner as stat
ing:
I submit that it is time for Con-
gress to stop lodging and to give the
House an opportunity to vote on the
proposition of an armor plant upon
it's merits. feel confident a majority
Of the members of this House are in
favor of a government armor plate
factory, but we can not get vote on
it. I believe there was a time when
the armor ring dominated the House,
hDt do not believe it today domin-
ates the membership of the Repub-
lican party or of the Democratic
party, and it goes without saying that
! it does not dominate the members of

ANTHRACITE MINERS e.
WIN TWO VICTORIES
Companies Ordered To Abide by
Award Of 1902 Strike
Commission.

HAzELTON, Pa, April PA
big victory for anthracite miners was
secured last week when Charles F..
Neill, umpire Of the Cancellation board,
served notice on operating compan-
les that they must abide strictly by
the award of the strike commission
of 1902 and by subsequent wage
against the Pardee Brothers & Co.,
Inc, and will result, it is estimated,
in back pay amounting to over $4,000
as the cases have been pending for
some time and the back pay will date
from the time that the grievance was
placed before the board. The Pardee
company is notified that under the
agreement it has contract relations
that it cannot change. The rates
provide for 1891 per yard for coal
cutting. This was reduced to 1851
by the company. \:
In holding for the mine workers,
Umpire Neill declared that the COM
pany had completely failed ito meet
the claims of the workers, and that
the company officials were even fg-
norant of the terms of the agreement.
On this point he said: =. ..~..
THE replies of the superintendent
were in such flat contradiction to
conditions shown by the rate sheet
as to. create the impression that the
representatives of the company. who
were conducting it's case, were :. de-
cidely unfamiliar with the terms Of
the arbitration award and the subse-
quent agreements under which they
are assumed to be carrying on their
operations" -.
