Militia Best Defense Plan.

Adjt. Gen. John B. O'Meara was
asked what effect the passage Of the
National Guard Pay bill, now pending
in Congress, would have on military
affairs of the state and nation.
He replied the Military Council Of
the state for the last four years had
been working industriously on the bill
and he had presented its views fully
and carefully before the upper and
lower houses of congress. The coun-
Gil has been in close touch with the
National Guard Association and the
Adjutants General Association, com
posed of representatives of every
state in the Union, he said, and has
worked tremendously in crystallizing
their idea in the bill now before con-
gress. All national guarusmen earn
esty hope for the pass".n, Of the bill,
he said, for they all believe that it
will be the solution of the defense
plan, so far as the land forces Of the
country are concerned.
The Military Council of This state is
composed of Brig. Gen. Harvey c..

AZ stephens, removal.

ASK Stepnehe Removal.
Resolutions demanding that z. w.
Stephens, owner of the Stephens Pub
fishing Co., at Columbia, Mo-, either
be forced to arbitrate the differences
which exist between his company and
Typographical Union No. 100, or be
forced to resign as a member of the
Capitol Commission, and that a con-
tract awarded him by the state print
ing commission for printing the SUI
preme court reports be abrogated,
have been passed by the union at
Columbia
The resolutions set forth that the
business men of Columbia have re-
quested Stephens to arbitrate the diff
ficulty, but that he has consistently
refused to do so.
They also point out that as a MEM
Der Of the Capitol Commission, super
vising the building of the new state
house at Jefferson City, Mr.. Stephens
will have much to do with union labor.
Governor Major is asked to remove
Stephens from the commission in the
event he persistently refuses to arbi.
trate the grievances of the men.
The resolutions say that one reason
why Stephens was awarded the con-
tract for the supreme court reports
was because he had such competent
corps of assistants, and if the men
are forced to leave his employment
because he will not arbitrate a diff
ference, that argument will fall to the
ground as his place will be filled with
incompetent and unsldlled workers.
