GOVERNMENT PUTS
ALL ITS MACHINERY
|NSTR|KE COMBAT
WaIkout Right Admitted, But
Ban Put on Violation of
Statutes.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

The government of the United
States will act through the federal
courts and all the machinery of the
Department of Justice to prevent the
leaders of the coal miners from car
rying on an effective strike. The
right to strike has not been denied,
but the right to violate the statutes
Of the government will not be coun-
tenanced-
There are two ways by which the
government. which has. already held
that the coal strike il unlawful, can
act 1t can arrest some of the lead
ers of the strike and charge them
in the courts with having violated
the Lever act. which makes 1t
crime for any two persons to make
any agreement to limit the produc-
ton of coal or necessaries of life. or
it can ask for injunctions to restrain
the carrying out of such agreements
and at the same. time bring, to bear
every resource of the government in
obstructing the leaders from carrying
on their strike. The Injunction would
prevent the distribution of strike
benefits. would prevent meetings of
strikers and could even deny the use
of the mails for the transmission of
any instructions that seek to carry
out the strike or unlawful agree
mert as construed by the federal gov
eminent.

Arrests Would Make Martyrs.

To arrest individuals would only
lead. in the view of the government.
to the giving of bail and the making
of a number of martyrs. whose lips
would not be sealed, but who would
only gain in prestige and popularity
with the mass of workers whom the
daily press does not reach and who
would be persuaded to believe that
their leaders were being prosecuted.
On the other hand. the government
can deny facilities to the strike lead
ers and make it virtually Impossible
for them to make the strike effective
Tie contest which has arisen be-

Ever since the Sherman antitrust
law was passed union labor recog-
nfzed the possibility that prosecutions

Most Drastic Step.
OF these developments, the order
for confiscation by the railroads Of
all coal in transit is perhaps the most
drastic and .far-reaching in extent.
Its effect will be to remove at once
from Industrial channels all coal now
on the roads. and virtual pooling OF
the coal for distribution in accordance
W it'll the priorities list. Even coal IN
transit under contract is included In
the order, the immediate effect OF

of hundreds of industrial plants not

DR.. Harry A. Garfield. former fuel
administrator. at today's cabinet

powers of the fuel administration now
are vested in the railroad administra-
ton, which will have full authority
to allocate coal to essential lndustneS-
The Department of Justice also ad-
yised the cabinet tnat IL mas dHplc

1t had been expected that the first
step in the general campaign of the
government would be to bring back
the fuel administration. which still
exists, although it's working organi-
zatjon has been demobiliZed. DR..
Garfield pointed out; however, that
the railroad administration could
WELD all of the powers vested here

without change except for elimination
of "munition plants" which In war

'The Stars and Stripes" As 1t went

now open to the public.
The publication was, as is well

TO its dignity In handsome manner 1t
started with circulation Of 10000,

French war orphan fund, to which 450,-
600 soldiers contributed 100000
francs, and in its 10 months Of life the
paper cleared 100000 francs.
There are other details of its prog
ress and its work, among which is one
to the effect that It printed 500 poems
by soldiers and rejected 10000.
The Editor and Publisher prints an
extended review OF the accomplish
ments of the paper, and from 1t we

An American Solomon.

The story is told Of a member Of
the American Red Cross, somewhere
on the Syrian side OF the African con-
tinent, who found himself faced with
something Of the same problem the
solution OF which earned for Solomon,
in ancient days, the reputation of be-
ing the wisest OF men. On this Occa-
sion the child was that of an Arme-
MAN woman, found in the house of a
Turk at Aleppo. and who, the mother
said, had Seen taken from her when
three years old. The child she claimed
as hers was little girl of seven years
and she gave no sign OF recognizing
her mother. The American was pug

thoughtful; then she smiled. Memory
had awakened. and the Armenian
woman had recovered her child.

DANGER IN WILD FLOWERS
Many Are a Prolific Cause Of Hay
Fever, According TO Expert Who
Sounds Warning.

Hay fever is relatively common in
children. but the reason that this IL
not more generally known is that these
attacks are usually mistaken for
"colds." writes DR.. William Scheppe-
grell Of New Orleans. president Of the
Hay Fever Prevention association, in
the Medical Record.
Sometimes a child that seems to
have a "cold" is taken into a park or
away TO the country In the hope that
the fresh air will effect a cure. and II
is there exposed to further infection
from the pollen Of the plants that are
chiefly responsible.
Besides the ragweeds. which are the
principal offenders, there are several
other wild flowers that. though quite
innocent when left alone, are likely
TO cause hay fever II applied directly
TO the nostrils of children. Among
these Doctor Scheppegrell warns us es-
pecially against the daisy fieobane, one
Of the commonest of weeds. 1t grows
from one to two feet In height, has
light green almost toothless leaves,
daisy-like flowers about half an inch
wide. with a large greenIsh yellow
disk. white rays occasionally lilac
tinged, shorter than those of the daisy
and sometimes entirely absent.
Other flowers against which Doctor
Scheppegrell warns are the dandelion,

of the COmposltae family. These are

URGES USE OF BOTH HANDS
French Authority Points Out the Value
Of Ambidexterity and Its Need
Of Cultivation.

France, In her earnest efforts TO re-
habilltate herself, has come TO the wise
conclusion that a child-a man or
woman OF the near future-who can
use either hand with equal facility is
almost twice as useful to the state
as "right-handed" or a "left-handed"
person.
The Paris correspondent Of the Jour
nal Of the American Medical As
sociation writes of the attempt 10 en-
courage ambidexterity in French chill
dren.
AT the recent meeting Of the Acad-
emile de Medicine Doctor Armaingaud
pointed out the loss-military, civil
and econOmic--which results from an
artificial disability imposed on young
children, and therefore Vn adults, in
allowing them to use only their right
hand, so that the left hand is used
only as an auxiliary to the right.
Speaking from a military point of
view, Armaingaud called attention to
the statement made by General Baden
Powell to the effect that no one could
doubt the value of ambideXterity. II

everybody instead of being used only
occasionally, or by few persons, as
is the case today, the strength of the
army would be Increased notably.
AT this time. when the population
of France Is declmated by tuberculo-
sis and alcoholism, and when the ex'
cess of births over deaths is less each
year, 1t is not master Of Indifference
to permit the population Of France to
continue what may be called a physio-
logic mutllation, one which may be
made to disappear at Will.
"Armaingaud proposed to the acad-
envy % to issue an appeal to the peO-
pie of France, asking that the mothers,
in the interest Of the nation and in the
interest OF defense of the country
teach their children from the first to
use both hands equally; (2) to request
the minister OF public instruction to
make the equal use of both hands OBJ
ligatory in all the primary and second
airy schools; (3) to urge the founda-
ton of q prize to be awarded annually
to the teacher in France who has been
most successful In carrying out this
most desirable reform"

will be paraded in the principal
cities of their home states if these
can be arranged.

the present plans. The department
is anxious, he added, that the coun-
try should see as much as possible

said, but the department is not dis
posed to hold the division together
to the prejudice of the general de-
scheme.
