1919, In which the defendants were
commanded to. cancel and revoke
the strike orders heretofore issued.
These strike orders were according
ly revoked in a form approved by
the court, but the men did not re-
turn to work in sufficiently large
numbers to bring about q produc-
ton of coal anywhere approaching
normal.
"On December 6, 1919, issued a
statement in which I restated the
governments position, appealed to
the miners to return to work and
renewed my suggestion that upon
the general resumption of opera
tons a suitable tribunal would be
created for the purpose Of investi-
eating and adjusting the matters in
controversy between the operators
and the miners. This statement
was submitted to 4 meeting of the
officers of the international union Of
United Mine Workers Of America.

general and approved by me, en-
bodying the suggestions contained
in my statement of December 6. l
am informed also that the operat-
ors have generally agreed to the
plan therein outlined. / enclose
for your information a copy of my
statement of December s, 1919, and
the memorandum just referred to.
Operations Resumed.
There has now been 4 general re-
sumption Of operations in all parts
of the hituminous fields, sufficient to
warrant the appointment of 4 COM
mission, such as is referred to in the
memorandum of the attorney gen.
eral and I have accordingly ap-
pointed you, Mr.. Rembrandt Peale,
a mine owner and operator, in active
business; and Mr.. John P. White,
practical miner, as commission
with the powers and duties as set
forth in the memorandum agreed to
and adopted by the miners and
operators, who conducted all the
prior negotiations. II readjust-
ment of the prices of coal shall be
found necessary / shall be pleased to
transfer to the commission subject
to its unanimous action the powers
heretofore vested in the fuel ad-
ministrator for that purpose. l am
sure it is not necessary for me to
call your attention to the tremen-
dous importance of the work OF this
commission or the great opportunity
which it presents for lasting service
to the coal industry and to the coun-
try. If the facts covering all the
phases of the coal industry neces-
sary to proper adjustment Of the
matters submitted to you shall be
investigated and reported to the
public, | am sure that your report,
in addition to being accepted as the
basis for 4 new wage agreement for
the bituminous coal miners, will pro-
mote the public welfare and make
for q settled condition in the in
dustry. No settlement can be had
in this matter permanent and last
ing in its benefits, as affecting either
the miners, the coal operators or
the general public, unless the find
ings OF this body are comprehensive
in their character and embrace and
guard at every point the pubic in
terest. To this end | deem it i'm
portant that your conclusion should,
be reached by unanimous action.
Upon your acceptance of this ap-
pointment / shall be pleased to call
an early meeting of the commission

Universal Training Urged.
In two addresses Gen. John J.
Pershing strongly urged immedi-
ate universal military training. His
speeches followed a day of welcome
to Chicago by hundreds of thou
sands of persons.
General Pershing said the pres
ent military camps would be sold or
turned back to their former owaers
unless universal training were adopt
ed Immediately.
Major General Wood, who preced-
ed General Pershing, said the alien
red element and the I. w w. were
in the same category and should be
dealt severely with, no matter what
it costs in men and money.
Although General Pershing, in ad-
dressing American Legion members,
said politics was something to be
avoided, a number of politicians
were anxious to bask in the generals
presence.
Some Nebraska organizers Of the
Nebraska Pershing for President
club announced they had opened
headquarters in Chicago.

The restaurant men of New York
City have formed a central buying
bureau through which they will pur-
chase thousands of tons of food

duce the cost of living. They will
also operate cooperative laundry.
Results Obtained Elsewhere.
Lincoln and other Nebraska
towns are taking up high cost of
living probes with considerable
yigor and in Chicago a probe has
been started, which already has be-
gun to yield results.
A sugar investigation was recently
held in the fereral building here.
but Notwithstanding that hearing,
some stores during the last few
days reported they were complete
ly out of sugar and many stores
are limiting their sugar sales to
two pounds to a customer.
No Report on Probe.
A few months ago c. A. Davis,
attorney general for Nebraska, and
several of the state department
heads, held a food probe in the court
house, lasting 4 week and involving
the examination of many witnesses.
Official findings of that investiga-
ton have not been issued.
Eggs are soaring toward ST a
dozen in Omaha and butter is climb

Omahans state they are refusing to

Doesn't 1t Settle the
Light Car Question?

Light weight in an automobile has meant
principally moderate price and perhaps gaso-
line and tire economy. There was enough
speed and power to get about, but none that
gave distinction on the road. Fineness and
performance were not expected.
But the Essex brought fine car quality
to the light car field. Its appearance gave It
immediate distinction. Its performance
placed it in the large costly car class. Only
in size, cost and economy of gasoline, oil and
tires was it compared to cars in the moderate
price field.
Is it any wonder that motorists have
praised the Essex as they have? It gave
them just what they had wanted. It was
the way by which they could keep their motor.
ing costs down and still have a car that filled
their demands in performance, appearance
and endurance.
