OBSERVE DAY FITTINGLY
MEMORIAL DAY OF GREAT SIG
NIFICANCE
1t Is Now Dedicated to Our Young
Manhood of the World War

Memorial Day this year of 1919
takes on a new significance, glows
with a new luster. 1t is the parting
of the ways, in a sense, where that
illustrious body of men-the Grand
Army-lays down the burden and
yields up the Pickering touch of fra
grant memory into the keeping of our
young manhood who fought in France
TO save world as they fought in 81
TO save a nation. 1t is then, eminently
fitting that all veterans of the World
War should unite with the fading
ranks of the blue on Friday afternoon
and do honor not only to the memory
of their fathers but to their comrades
in France who sleep beneath that low
green tent whose portals never out
ward swing.
The graves Of departed comrades
will be marked in advance as usual
Under command of the marshal of the
day, the column will form on Main
street at 80 in the following order:

BY EDWARD w. PIckARD.

Yielding TO the authority and power
of the government, the leaders of the
Mine Workers union complied with
the mandatory order of Judge Ander-
son and called off the strike. Their
action was hailed with delight by
the authorities and by the country gen
orally, but its expected good effect
was not apparent Immediately. In
deed, in most of the bituminous dis
tricts the men showed a disposition to
remain idle until their wage demands
had been adjusted. This, however. was
doubtless due to their incomplete I'M
Outstanding of the situation and to
unavoidable delay in distributing the
cancelling order.
The government lost no time In TAX
ing steps to bring about an amicable
agreement between the operators and
the men. The cabinet instructed Sec
rotary of Labor Wilson to summon all
parties to a conference in Washington,
and at this writing the representatives
of both sides are trying to formulate a
new working pact. The cabinet
members were all of the opinion that
the miners officials were entitled, by
their action, to the fullest considera-
ton of their list of grievances, and
that the operators should be held to
their promise to submit to negotiation,
and, If that fails, to arbitration.
Compliance with the court order by
the miners officials came as something

ers TO carry to the Supreme court an
appeal from Judge AndersOn's restrain

also oppose the anti-strike provisions
of the Cummins railroad bill.
On the other hand, Senator Cummins
planned to introduce an amendment to
his bill prohibiting strikes in all basic
industries and providing for compul-
sorry arbitration. These industries are
fuel. foodstuffs. clothing. iron and steel
and building materials. No doubt the
fate of his amendment will depend
largely on developments before 1t is
considered by the senate. for many
senators whO are against injunctions
