TO RELEASE COAL
MINERS IN CAMPS
Discharges for All Who Will
Go to Fields.
Special Despatch to THE suS.

WASHINGTON, Nov 19.-Release from
training camps within the next few days
OF several thousand soldiers. who be-
fore being called into the service were
employed in anthracite coal mines, was
arranged at a conference to-day between
Fuel Administrator Garfield and Secre-
tary Of War Baker. They will he
brought to Washington and all who de-
sire to return to the anthracite fields will
receive Immediate discharge.
The need of increasing the output OF
anthracite coal was urged by DR.. Car
field. He pointed out that the produce
ton was reduced about 20 per cent. in
six weekssby the influenza epidemic and
later by the prolonged celebrationJ OF
the signing of the armistice.
The miners with the armies In France
are not affected. They will be subject
to the general arrangements for the re-
turn OF the troops.
Steps were taken by Or. Garfield
also, so far as possible. to prevent the
men now employed in the mines from
scattering to other industries during the
reconstruction period.

out how any more traffic can be sent
over the ocean cables than under present
control. Those cables already are OPP
Grated to their full capacity by the most
expert management. and he cannot add
to their capacity. The recent break
down of the Western Union cable sys-
tern caused the cable business to go by
the Commercial Cable Company's ca
bles. and its facilities were overtaxed.
But how could Mr.. Burleson have added
to their capacity during that Interrupt
tion?
The cable business flowed to the
Commercial Gable Company from both
telegraph companies because the West
ern Union land line system, being de-
prived of its cable connection. turned
over the business to the Commercial
Cable Company. or Its patrons did %,
which is the same thing.
Ever since the United States entered
the war the American ends of the cables
have been under the control of Govern
ment officials as effectively as any con-
troll could be. They have been under the
control of the Director Of Naval Com
munications and not a single thing per-
tanning to the operation of the lines or
the facility with which cable dispatches
are being handled was done without his
knowledge.
Every suggestion and request that
was made by this Government official
or his representative stationed in our
cable office at New York was promptly
compiled with in every particular. In
addition a most rigid censorship was
established in which the company heart
lily cooperated. In fact the Commercial
Gable Company has been complimented
by American and British Government
authorities for the splendid service II
gave In Canada, Newfoundland, Grea,
Britain and France. censorship under
the direction or those Governments haf
also been in force for over four years
There is not quarter of the need Of
| close control OF the cable systems now Of
during the period OF readjustment al
there was during the war itself, becaus,
| during that time there was a vast guam
tity Of war news, which is now quickl,
subsiding since the armistice was de
clared.
M. Burlesori OF course. is not prac

PUNY AUTOCRAT BRAYS.

Because the Illinois State Fedora
ton of Labor is publishing the names
of legislators who voted against the
anti-injunction bill and a woman's
eght-hour bill, John NJ. Glenn, secre-
tary of the Illinois Manufac urers
association, calls upon employers to
support lawmakers "who voted
against the confiscation of property
and other anarchistic measures"
The News Letter of the State Fed
Grafton of Labor shows that the in
junction bill was identical with the
Clayton law, passed by congress and
signed by the president.
This is the same Glenn" says the
News Letter, "who, a few months ago,
advised employers and business men
who are connected with his orgariza-
ton to refuse to recognize the federal
fuel administrations order for one
heatless day week in all business
places, and got an attorney to render
an opinion that they would not be
sent to Jail if they disobeyed the
order. and sent that opinion to all
their members, advising them to dis
obey it, and denouncing the United
States fuel administration for issuing
the ruling, although, in the judgmen,
of the administration, it was a neces-
sary war measure"

RAILROAD MEN OBJECT TO mo
POLITICS" RULE.

Executives of the four railroad
brotherhoods have signed a protest
to Director General of Railroads Nc
Adoo against the recent order that
no one connected with the United
States railroad administration can
indulge in political activity.
The brotherhood officials say:
Railroad employees, during all the
years of their service. have always
understood that the constitution of
the United States guarantees to them
certain rights and privileges, the
same as all other citizens. They will
resent with the last drop of red blood
n their bodies. and by every means
Vat their comand, the attempt of any
man, either by official order or other
wise, to deprive them of their rights.
We have members of these organiza-
lions filling public Offices of trust in
every city in the Union, in every city
and town of any importance. Many
towns are controlled and governed
by railroad men, and when you deny
them that right under penalty of for
feiting their means of livelihood, you
strike at the very heart of American
citizenship. II you would read few
of the many kilograms and resolu-
lions of protest pouring in, you would
realize how highly they prize this
right and how bitterly they resent
being disfranchised."

ground and their point OF view, the
thought of the mass of men, whom
statesmen are supposed to instruct
and lead, has grown more and more
unclouded, more and more certain OF
what it is they are fighting for. Ma
tional purposes have fallen more and
more into the backgroun dand the
common purpose of enlightened man
kind has taken their place.
The counsels of plain men have
become on all hands more simple and
straightforward and more unified
than the counsels of sophisticated
men OF affairs, who still retain the
impression that they are playing a
game of power and playing for high
stakes. That is why l have said this
is a peoples war, and not states
mems. Statesmen must follow the
clarified common thought or be
broken
He does not say that revolution
threatens, in any country whose labor
movement is pleading for the pro-
gram he is urging; he merely re-
marks that statesmen who resist the
common people in these days will be
broken"
Il take this to be the significance"
he goes on. "of the fact that assem-
blies and associations of many kinds,
made up of plain workaday people,
have demanded, almost every time
they came together, and are still de-
handing that the leaders of their
governments declare to them plainly
what it is-exactly what it is-that
they were seeking in this war. and
what they think the items in the final
settlement should be. They are not
yet satisfied with what they have been
told"
Is he speaking for the British or
the French or the Italian laboring
masses? In any case he speaks for
the allied nations, to the politicians
in Europe whose failure to be frank
has made those peoples turn to the
President of the United States for
guidance. He is not disturbing the
unity of the entente; he is all at once
molding it into one vast, popular in
ternationality. The echoes of his
challenge to these statesmen to be
statesmanlike will be heard in every
trade union meeting. There will be
a sudden panic among the scheming
politicians who had thought of
hucksters' settlement of the war.
They will find that they have to
reckon with their peoples, and their
peoples are all solidly behind this
idealist, the President of the United
States.
What is the meaning of this chal-
lenge to European politics?
Bluntly, it is prophecy of Eu-
rope of republics.
That is to say, Europe in which
organized labor will finally be the
majority power in every parliament,
every ministry, every branch of po-
litical and industrial control.-Lau-
