MAY ACTUPON
THE PRESENT
COAL STRIKE
Fuel Administrator Garfield
Wires Miners and Operators
That the Fuel Supply of
Nation Must Be Forthcom-
ing.
BY Review Leased wire.)

WASHINGTON, Oct. 17.-Whatever
powers necessary will be employed by
the federal government to stop the
strikes of coal miners in the middle
west and preven. interruption of the
nations fuel production.
Warning Dispatched.
This warning was given today by
Fuel Administrators Garfield, in a sharp
telegram to miners and operators in
the fields involved. reminding them of
their pledge not to allow the output
of coal to be diminished and declar-
ing that any attempt to bring pressure
- bear upon him to force a revision of
coal prices would result in postpone
ment of a decision on that question.
Mr. Garfield was in conference during
the day with John T. White, president
of the United Mine Workers of Ameri-
can, who reported that so far as the
strikes in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and
Pennsylvania were local in character;
though they were threatening to
spread. He expressed the hope that
the men could be induced to return to
work.
No Details Of Plan.
The fuel administrator did not COM
ment on his warning or go into detail
about the steps he proposes to take if
it is not needed, further than to say
that while the country is at war no in
reference with fuel production is to
be tolerated.
Congress has empowered the presi-
dent 70 take over the mines and oper
ate them if he deems it necessary.

RETRACTi0NB BY
navy LEAGUE
Secretary Daniels Notified Of
Regret for destinations
About Explosion.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.-The Navy
league has retracted it's charge that
a report on the Mare island (CaL)
navy yard explosion, last July, has
been held up, because of powerful
labor Influences"
Secretary of the Navy Daniels made
quick reply to this reflection and de-
manded the resignation of the officers
Of tho league, who had previously
agreed to resign any time their policy
was unsatisfactory to the department.
The request for designations was not
complied with and Secretary Daniels
then ordered that hereafter no recog-
milton be given the Navy league and
that goods now collected by the league
for the benefit of the navy be not &C
cepted. The Navy league then
awakened to the fact that it was "up
against the real thing" and now ex-
presses regret that it made the OBJ
jectionable statement.

SAY CHA1':T E. ): !.
SLAVERY. EXISTS
IN CALIFORNIA
Mexican Workers Who Protest
Conditions Are DepoTted,
Is Charge.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.-Officials
Of the Pan-American Federation of
Labor here have been aroused by re-
ports of what appears to be almost
an enslavement of Mexican laborers by
sugar beet growers in southern Cali
fornia. They have made complaint
to the department Of labor
It is reported to the federation that
% Mexicans who had been employed
in the beet fields were "deported"
from California to Mexico Aug. 81,
being shipped through the town of
Nogales.
Charles r. Cornell, immigration in
spector in charge of the southern
California district, was quoted in the
local press as saying that these %
Mexicans probably were returned by
their employers at whose request they
were imported into this country. The
Mexican beet field laborers were ad-
mitted into this country under a spe-
cial permit which provided that they
should engage in no activities other
than those named in the permit
':Lilke Chattel Slavery.":
Secretary Murray of the Pan
American Federation has taken it up
with the labor department, on the
ground that it appears that these Cali
fornia beet growers have picked out
from among the Mexicans employed in
the fields all who were suspected Of
being labor agitators, and had these
men deported.
If this power over the beet field
workers has been exercised by the
California beet growers" said MUIR
ray, 1T is the nearest approach to
chattel slavery now existent in the
United States"

MINING COMPANY THUGS ::
TERR0RlZE MINERS IN
ANTI.UN0IN CAMPAIGN

CHARLESTON, w. VA, Sept. 10.
- Failure Of state authorities to
protect organized miners from as
saulte by Baldwin-Feltx strike
guards has forced Representatives
OF the United Mine Workers to
call a special convention to con-
slider the matter. At Clarksburg
one miner was assaulted by these
thugs while on his way to pur-
chase medicine for a sick wife.
He IL now lying at the point of
death. At Fire Coal, in Raleigh
county, another miner was brut-
ally assaulted, and i'm Braxton and
Gilmer counties miners are evicted
from their homes and in some
cases the roofs of the cabins are
torn off to force the families to
leave. At Bower and Gilmer these
guards have assaulted uniOnists
with their rifles. Governor Corn
vel! has been appealed to in vain
against the tcrrOrlzlng policy Of
the thugs who are employed by
the coal companies in their anti
union campaign.

.WANT.oPEN SHOP
DURING THE WAR
Manufacturers Tell Defense
Council Move Will Make
for Strength in War.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.-An ap-
peal to trade unionism to indorse the
open shop principle in industry for the
period of the war, has been made in
recommendations to the Council Of Ma
tional Defense by the advisory COM
mittee Of the national Industrial con-
ference board representing manufac-
turers' associations.
While Samuel Gompers, president
of the American Federation of Labor,
was pledging the loyalty Of unionism
to the government at the meeting of
the American Alliance for Labor and
Democracy at Minneapolis, the indus
trial conference board urged the de-
Tense council to call at the earliest
convenient date a conference Of rep
resentative national and international
officers of American trade unions to
join in proposed "open shop" agree
ment.
The proposed agreement in sub
stance suggests:
That organized labor agree with or
ganized capital that 1.-The nonunion
man is as necessary in the factory as
he is in the army; in other words,
that labor agrees to the "open shop"
That employer and employe recog-
nize and agree that for the period of
the war continuous, efficient produce
ton can alone equip and sustain our
military forces"
That federal board be created to
adjust all labor disputes during the
war in matters Of war production for
the government, government repre-
sentatives to hold the deciding voice.
Backed by Big Business.
The proposal is submitted on behalf
of the following associations repre-
scented in the industrial conference:
American Cotton Manufacturers as
ISOLATION, American Paper and Pulp
association, Electrical Manufacturers
club, Manufacturing Chemists Asso-
citation Of the United States, National
Association of Cotton Manufacturers,
National Association Of Manufacturers,
National Association of Wool Manufac-
turers, National Automobile Chamber
Of Commerce, National Boot and Shoe
Manufacturers association, National
Council for Industrial Defense,
National Erectors' association, Ma
Metal Trades association, Rubber AS

and Franklin Clubs of America.
''Liberty" Is Involved.
The committee in concluding it's rec
concentrations declared:
1--WE reiterate in conclusion the
pressing necessity for recognizing one
vital and primary principle. A gov
eminent which can not itself discrim-
mate between it's citizens can not toll
crate condition which encourages
private organizations to compel such
discrimination.
POLITICALLY and economically such a
policy spells disaster. It destroys the
responsibility Of management which is
vital to successful production and
denies in our democracy the basic
principles Of individual liberty and op-
portunity, for which it's citizens since
the foundation of the republic have
shed freely of their blood and for
which today they are prepared to die
on alien soil.''

 JUNEAU, Apr. According to a statement issued by Territorial Trea- surer w. C. Smith today, during the last two weeks various fishery com panies have paid into the treasury the sum of $35O.0OO for back taxes which have been due the territory for some time It is thought that the payment of these taxes was hastened by Attorney General Grigs- by's announcement that he would take steps to prosecute the com panies unless payment was made at once.
 The total amount of money now in the treasury is given as $625,00O, There is still a large amount due the territory by mining companies, which will probably be paid within short time, and this will make the financial condition of Alaska bet ter than ever before in the history of the territory.
