fuel ADMINISTRATOR
issues ULTIMATUM
Labor Situation Such as in Alabama
Cannot Exist. Says Dr.. Garfield.

The situation in the Alabama field
was the subject OF a conference be-
tween representatives Of the opera
tors, and miners and the Fuel Admin
istration yesterday.
As a result the following ultimatum
was issued:
The unions are at perfect liberty to
go ahead and try to enlist members
among the Alabama miners. But
they cannot try to enforce recognition
through strikes during the duration of
the war. Neither can the operators
dismiss men to discourage their join
ing unions.
Labor differences OF this character
must be put aside" said Fuel Admin
istrator Garfield. II have the assur-
ance Of the miners organization that
they will not attempt to force rec
ognition in the affected fields while
the war lasts. The situation was such
that We thought 1t best to hold a con-
ference here and make the situation
clear"
Illinois miners and operators also
conferred with the administration on
the new agreement which contains the
joint penalty clause approved by DIR.
Garfield. The Fuel Administrator ex-
pressed himself in favor Of the agree
ment's provisions.

SUMMONED FOR
MEANS. TRIAL
Political Faith Of Talesmen
to Be Factor in Choos-
ing Jurors.
BY DAVID NJ. CHURCH,
International News star Corre-
HnOudent.

NG"B sum
spondent.
Court House, Concord, N. c., Nov.
"a score of deputy sherIffs tonight
are securing Cabarrus County, sum-
moning veniremen for the trial of
CASTOR B. Means on charge of murder
ing Mrs. Maude A. King on August
-
By agreement of State and defense
venire of 1J0 men has been ordered.
Many veniremen drawn live in re-
mote places.
Means and his counsel are not
greatly interested in the selection of
the jury. They have fought to- secure
a trial before Cabarrus County men
and have the advantage over the
State in that the law allows them
q challenges, while the State has but
four.
OF the veniremen summoned the ma
jority are farmers and factory oper-
atives. Most of them are said to be
men known either to the Means fam
lily or counsel for the defendant.
Politics to Play Part.
One factor which will play an i'm
portant part In the selection of jurors
is politics. Means family has power
full political influence throughout
North Carolina and every effort will
be made to offset this>by asking for
the discharge of all men belonging to
the party in which the Means family
Is prominent.
Means sits in his cell tonight con-
fdent and calm. He remarked that
| 1.-The whole thing is absurd and de-
clared he has no fears, but that "my
God will see justice done" His wife
had been his constant compaion all
day. Other members of the family
have been in his cell at frequent in
tervals.
An interesting document which the
defense will present is Means own
! story of his life. During his in
generation he prepared an autobiog-
| raphy, dating from the time that he
was a clerk in a cotton mill office to
the time when he welded power as
a financial agent and later when he
entered the German secret service in
the United States.
Victims Mother Ill.
Phil c. McDuffie, of Atlanta, Ca.
attorney for Mrs. Annie Robinson,
| mother of the murdered woman, ar
rived tonight.
McDuffie is the sole person here in
the interest of the alleged victim OF
the murder plot Her mother is ill
and cannot attenu. Her sister. Mrs.
May Melvin is still a friend OF the
Means family and refuses to counte-
mace the prosecution OF her friend,

TEACHING AMERicANISM.

The official mission from the new
revolutionary government OF Russia
has arrived in Washington and was
received at the capital with sim
plicity and absence of display and
pomp that must have impressed the
guests with the fact that this is truly
a democracy 81
The longer the Russians remain In
this country the more illuminating
will be the report they will take back
with them. Happily there never was
a time in recent years when the
money power had less influence in
Washington than at the present time
and happily also, even in war time,
every effort is being made to preserve
the basic principles of real democ'
racy.
Aside from all this, the Russians
should be able to look at America
with eyes prepossessed in our favor.
During the long years of their bitter
struggle towards freedom. their COM
patriots, who were forced to flee,
found no haven or refuge in autocratic
Germany, but in free France, Switzer'
land, England and the United States.
Only in those countries were polit-
ical refugees safe from the clutches
of the minions of the car. Only In
those countries were they sure Of
sympathy and support and financial
aid.
So that the Russian mission comes
to America from the Russian democ-
racy finding here not only present
ally, but an old.time friend of the Rus
sian people, as opposed to their brutal
masters.

TO THE CoLoRs.

Volunteers are wanted
There is something magical about
the call for volunteers.
Volunteers are always called for
when there is stern work ahead.
Volunteers stole up to old Ticon-
deroga for a desperate nights work.
The good old Monitor was manned
by volunteers when she went out to
meet the Merrimac.
Volunteers went out in the first
little American submarine on as dar'
ing a trip as ever man embarked up
Volunteers went with HObson into
Santiago harbor to block 1t and bot
tie up the Spanish fleet.
President Wilson has called for vol.
unteers now for the American army
What these men do will 60 down in
history with the great deeds of the
pasta part Of the record of glorious
deeds for liberty. -m
Seventy thousand men are wanted
for the American army. Seventy
thousand fighting men!
Here is the opportunity for those
who can leave at once to serve the
nation. .... '",.
Americans, arise! Answer the pres
ident's call!
Volunteer today for democracy's
service
Volunteers are wanted.
1t is call to stir the blood OF brave
men!

a WONDERFUL CAMPAIGN.

Bismarck and Burleigh county can
well be proud of the Red Cross cam
paign that came to a triumphant
close last evening. The men who vol
unteered weeks services to this
errand OF mercy are deserving OF
praise, but in the final analysis the
results form an eloquent tribute to
the generosity of the good people OF
Eurleigh county.
These are days Of self-denial and
sacrifice. We are engaged In the
worst war of history and II patriot
ism ever meant anything, it becomes
now vital, fundamental force In our
daily lives. City and county jewellers
Joined hands In common cause and
emptied their purses into the mercy
box. There was no murmur; the
gift was spontaneous because hearts
g were touched. *g.
The honor roll is long, but the
Tribune wants especially to commend
those twenty or thirty men and
women who, under the efficient lead
ership OF Mr.. NJ. p. Goddard, brought
this drive for war relief funds to
such a glorious finish.
It was no small task to double this
county's allotment to the 800, 100000
fund. That was not the objective,
but the sweeping enthusiasm OF the
people carried the teams beyond the
mark set.
Bismarck and Burleigh county are
better places to live in as a result
Then, too, we have helped to "send
across the Red Cross"

THE WAR AND SUFFRAGE.

The Congressional Union For Won
an Suffrage is doing more to delay
the national enfranchisement OF wom-
on in the United States than any
other single influence.
Although ostensibly fighting for
equal suffrage, the Congressional
Union is actually building higher each
day the barrier against it's cause. All
should take hand in curbing the
mad demonstrations of this organiza'
ton.
Heckling the president and picket.
ing the White House, Objectionable
and injurious to the cause as they
have been, have been largely over
looked and excused on the ground OF
over-zeal. But when the Congress.
sional Union, in time of war, shouts
to the world that President Wilson
is deceiving Russia that he is de-
liberately hindering, not helping, the
cause of democracy, there can be NO
such palliation of the offense.
Had q mere man, or group of men
displayed the banner upheld by these
suffrage fanatics before the gate OF
the White house on the occasion OF
the visit OF the Russian ENJOYS, short
shrift would have been made Of them
TO jail. If the first bald statement
on the banner was, not treason, il
was at least food for comfort to the
kaiser and could have been uttered
by no loyal American.
= The statement ran: ITO the Rus
sian ENJOYS: President Wilson and
Envoy Root are deceiving Russia
They say: We are democracy
Help us win a world war so democ
racy may survive
I'VE, the women Of America, tell
you that America is not a democ
racy."
And much more Of the same sort
in which 1t was declared that "Presi
dent Wilson is the chief opponent OF
national enfranchisement. A."

be made to realize that war is the
