MINERS WOULD
LINE UP WITH
RAILROAD MEN
Committee Favors the Reso-
luton Proposing an
Alliance
By Associated PTess,

Cleveland, o., Sept. 11.-Resolu-
tions favoring the formation of a
national labor party, naturalization
of coal mines at the earliest DOS
sible moment and an alliance for
cooperative political and economic
effort with the railway brother
hoods, freight handlers and other
transportation workers unions have
been accepted in principle by the
committee on resolutions of the
United Mine Workers of America
and will be brought before the COLI
vention here at an early session.
The proposed alliance with the rail-
road and the transportation workers
is modelled upon the lines of tile
British triple alliance" of miners,
railway men and transport workers
which have proven such a powerful
factor in the industrial and political
life in Great Britain.
All three proposals have been
recommended in resolutions from
local unions in all parts of the
country.

hundreds of resolutions before it,

mend favorably to the convention

Zenship papers as q condition of
membership and endorsement of the
League of Nations. Proposals to
withdraw from the American Fed
Grafton of Labor or to enter upon
the formation of the "one big
union" embracing all branches of
labor, as advocated by local unions,
will be adversely reported. Other
local resolutions which Will be re-
ported unfavorably were those to

League Venture in
Form Negotiated, One
of Peril to Republic
BY Associated Press.

Washington, Sept. 11.-Declaring
his intention to vote for amendments
to the Peace Treaty, Senator Hard
ing, Republican, of Ohio, told the
Senate to-day that every day of dis
cussion, Presidential utterances in
cluded, and every hour of study
combined to persuade him that the
League of ations venture, in the
form in which the Covenant has
been negotiated, is one of peril 10
the Republic"
To accept it unaltered, he argued,
would be a betrayal of America.
L can never vote to ratify with
out safeguards" said the Senator.
and I mean to vote for the amend
ments proposed by the committee. If
the President is correct in declar-
ing the proposed reservations will
send the Treaty back, then amend
ments will not unduly delay. If the
world Is to start all over again, II
ought to start with the square deal.
The Treaty has not written It, the
square deal was reserved for in
formal promises"
Pointing out that this country had
sought no territory, Senator Hard
ing said If Europe will barter in
territories and peoples we cannot
hinder, but we need not approve
and surely we need not guarantee -
1T is my deliberate conviction" "
he said. that the League of Nations
Covenant creates n super-govern-
ment of the nations which enter IL.
or it will prove the colossal disap-
pointment of the ages"

SUPPLY OF SUGAR
IS EXHAUSTED:
MEAT CHEAPER
Housewives Feel Shortage in
Midst of Canning and Pre-
serving Period

The sugar supply of the city is
becoming exceedingly low.
Some merchants report that their
supply is entirely exhausted and
that they are finding difficulty in re-
plenishing it. Some others report
that their supply is.very short, and
most have adopted the plan in vogue
during the war of supplying only q
limited quantity to. each customer.
The shortage is being felt seriously
by housewives who are canning and
preserving peaches.
Wholesale houses OF the city re-
port similar conditions prevailing
with them. None have reported On
entire exhaustion of supply, but IN
practically every instance they re-
port that their supply is low.
Just now prospects for replenish-
ing the supplies are not particularly
bright, manufacturers, for some rea-
sons. have been unable to get orders
to this and other cities in the guam
titles needed. While the supply Is
nearing the danger line, Wholesalers
and merchants generally do not look
for a famine.
Meat Prices Lower
The high cost of living Is getting
somewhat of a jolt in the meat
trade, according to reports from city
meat dealers The tendency now,
according to the report of officials
at one city wholesale house, is to-
wards lower meat prices. This teL-
dency, however, is not particularly
strong and may later prove unrc-
liable.
1t is somewhat early to tell what
may be expected in meat prices,
although the tendency is undoubt-
edly downwards, according to one
wholesaler. 1t depends altogether,
they say, on the price at which they
are able to purchase live stock.
One city house reports that the
prices of various grades of pork
have fallen, ranging from two 10
four cents per pound. Beef prices,
1t is said, remain about the same.

company it is said that space for
a considerable tonnage has been re-
served.

IF WE ALL QUIT WORK.

st. Paul Pioneer Press: John j.
Mitchell, the Chicago banker, makes
the point anent the labor plan of the
general strike, that it might be we'll
IL we all-not just trade u~nionists,
but everybody-would quit work for a
week, shift for ourselves and see what
would happen.
Here is something the advocates Of
n big uniop and the general strike
probably have never Thought of;
what would happen IL the great body
OF workers outside trade unionism,
the lawyer. the doctor. the banker,
the storekeeper, the grocer, the butch
er, the farmer, should all quit work,
too.
The result would be a much needed
object lesson in the interdependency
OF one group of workers upon another
and of one industry upon another.
Society is bound together by ties of
cooperation and mutual need which
we do not always realize because
they are SO seldom severed. But
loose those ties perman emily and the
whole social structure would fall.
Whe groups of workers strike
they partially disorganize industry.
but industry and society as a whole
continue to function for their bene-
fit. This is what they expect and It
is their confidence in the stability

IODAY'.S BAT OF VERSE
SU NINE r MAGIC

So many cares TO vex the day,
So many fears to haunt the night,
My heart was all but weaned away
From every lure of old delight.
Then summer came, announced by June,
With beauty, miracle and mirth,
She hung aloft the rounding moon,
She poured her sunshine on the earth,
She drove the sap and broke the bud,
She set the crimson rose afre,
She stirred again my sullen blood,
And walked in me a new desire.
Before my cottage coor she spread
The softest carpet nature weaves,
And deity arched above my head
A csnopy of shady leaves.
Her nights were dreams of jeweled skies,
Her days were bowers rife with song,
And many a scheme did she devise
To heal the hurt and soothe the wrong,
For on the hill or in the dell,
Or where the brook went leaping by
Or where the fields would surge and swell
With golden wheat or bearded rye,
! felt her heart against my own,
/ breathed the sweetness Of her breath,
Till all the cark of time had flown,
And l was lord of life and death.

ORIGIN OF "DouehBoY."

Knoxville Journal: What is tho
origin Of the word 'doughboy' as ap.
piled to infantry soldiers?"
I read with considerable interest
the statement from the photographer
Of the Literary Digest, wherein he
suggests that federal troops in the
civil war obtained various shaped
buttons for their ~overcoats, and be-
cause the buttons resembled hard
tack the soldiers became known by
the appellation "doughboy." / have
heard several so-called explanations
of the term, but this to me seems
about the most far-fetched ever.
Permit me to quote Colonel James
A. Moss, who has no superior in
customs and courtesies Of the sery-
ice." In fact, ! am surprised tina.
Colonel Moss could have been over
looked by the photographer:
'sDoughboy. The following YER
sions are given Of. the derivation Of
the expression 'doughboy,' al mean
ing 'infantryman.'
First. In olden times when infan-
trymen used to clean their white
trimmings with pipe clay, II caught
in the rain the whiting would run
forming a kind OF dough-hence the
s%oubriquet .doughboy.'
Second. The tramp Of infantry
marching in the mud sounds as II
their shoes were being worked and
pressed in dough
Third. From adobe (mud) con-
tracted 'dobie--ths idea being infan-
trymen are the soldiers who have to
march in the mud; hence the ex-
pressions used in the early sixties
and seventies in referring to infan-
trymen as 'dobie crushers.' 'dobie
makers and mud crushers.
Fourth. However some infantry
men think they are called dough
boys because they are always 'kneed-

A SINISTER

There is something sinister, while strikes are
either active or potential throughout the coull-
try. in the summons issued by the radical ele-
ment among the socialists of Chicago IN calling
on their supporters to meet IN convention at
Chicago on September first to organize the
communist party Of America Mere theoret-
zeal socialism does not satisfy these radicals.
In their platform they demand dictatorship
of the proletariat" and INSTRUMENTATION OF the
great business enterprises and financial trusts.
They announce their intention to ally Them
selves with ''the bolshevikl OF Russia ana the
spartacans of Germany"
The call issued for the convention declares
for the "abolition of private property IN the
means of production and distribution, by trans
fer to a proletarian state under socialist admin
i~stration of the working class
It further declares that the party favors in
ternational alliance of the communist party OF
the United States only with the communist
groups of other countries, such as the bolshe-
WIKI of Russia, the spartacans Of Germany, etc"
s.The present world situation, y IS continues,
t.demands the closest relation between the
revolutionary proletariat Of all countries.
We are opposed to association with other
groups not committed to the revolutionary class
struggle, such as labor parties, non-partlsan
leagues, peoples councils, municipal ownerhip
leagues, and the like.
''The party shall propagandize class con-
scious industrial unionism as against craft I'M
icnism, and shall carry on party activity In CO.
operation with industrial disputes that take on
a revolutionary character" the call continues.
Eve maintain that the class struggle is essen
tally a political struggle by the proletariat to
conquer the capitalist state, whether It's form
be monarchistic or democratic republican, and
So II -o,1oo - lr rn-orp,onn4a1
structure adapted to the communist transform
alton"
'"The basis of our political campaign should
be-" the call declares, "to propaganda the
overthrow of capitalism by proletarian con-
quest of the political power and the establish
nent Of a dictatorship of the proletariat; to
maintain a political organization as a clearing
house for proletarian thought, a center of po-
litical education for the development of revolu-
tonary working class action; to keep in the
foreground our consistent appeal for proletar-
