Fairbanks had a very serious fire yes. ,crday that wiped out many business houses in the heart of the city. The city and the people of the city have our most sincere sympathy. To be made homeless in the midst of am Alaskan winter is one of the greatest hardships that can occur to anyone. We are sure that the people of Fairbanks will have courage and meet their losses with the same spirit in which they met a similar disaster at practically the same part of town a dozen years ago aud that the city will be rebuilt bigger and better than ever

Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1919-12-19

Once again We have gone around
the calendar and find ourselves ut
the place where We must finger all
the books we know, to find out Just
the proper things to have and do
on Christmas day. Somehow there
is 20 much to think about during
the year, that when we actually
come to it, we are at Q loss to think
Of anything concrete. This year,
as never before, we are willing to
accept suggestions for decorating
and particularly for food. where
we have never done SO before. In
those lastly dimming days before
the war we just had and did every
thing we pleased, not regarding
overly much the rights or happi-'
ness Of others, nor wondering, be-
yond the mere act OF buying. where
1t all came from. Then when the
holocaust made US stop in our wild
living and think-when we were
measured for our sugar, you might
say, and doled out -four for our
daily bread, We were taken aback,
and like a lot of frightened chill
dren, We simply obeyed the law
and ate what was on our plates.
That brings US to this year, per-
haps to the beginning Of new era
Of sensible celebration; let US hope
SO. We shall return more to the
old way of observing the happy
day. but it will be tempered by our
years Of conservation and conse.
Quent good health.

past concerning the Christmas din

some cases be dispensed with. pro-
vided the first meal is made sub

gestion which may be hooted a..
but which would save all Of W
that Pullman car feeling which fol-
lows the ordinary day Of too much
feasting.
Why not spend part Of Christmas
eve decorating the table for the
morning meal? Twould be quite
a change to have a simple, attract
lively ornamented board, in con-
trast' to the tinsel. ribbon Uttered
affair from which We usually grab
a bite OF toast or muffin. A. nice
idea for the girls OF the family to
adopt is to slip downtown and pur-
chase q roll Of bleached cotton.
This should be pulled apart and
some OF 1t formed into q fluffy
round SNOWFALL about sixteen inch
es in diameter. Smaller balls are
made for each persons plate, and
in the center Of these may be
placed amusing small gifts having
to do with intimate family Jokes

some diamond dust complete the
work, and how little 1t is after all.

SIX LEADERS APPEAR
Disclosures Indicate Operators As

Violate Lever Law Evil.
dence Collected.

Indianapolis, ind, Dec. 5.-Upon
the heels Of its institution of contempt
proceedings against officials of the
United Mine Workers of America, the
government has taken steps to broad
en- the scope of it's prosecutions in
connection with the strike of coal
miners, and will investigate alleged
violations of the Lever fuel control
act and the Sherman antitrust law, by
;miners, operators and others.
Judge A. B. Anderson, United States
district court, ordered a special ses-
sion of the federal grand jury Here
and Immediately afterward a state
;ment was given out by L. Ert Slack,
United States district attorney, and
Dan W. Simms, special district at
'torney, who is aiding in the injunction
proceedings, declaring that the time
has arrived to determine whether
this is a government of law or a group
of men"
Six officials of the United Mine
Workers of America, who were
charged with criminal contempt for
alleged violation of the federal courts
injunction against the strike, appeared
at the federal building and furnished
bonds of $4,000 each for their ap-
pearance in court.
1t was stated that determination to
begin the grand jury investigation
came as a result of disclosures in the
proceedings against the miners lead
ers, which tended to show that the
coal operators, as well as the miners,
we're in a conspiracy to violate the
law, Agents of the Department
Of Justice two weeks ago started an
investigation of alleged violation of
he Sherman antitrust law by operat-
ors and the evidence collected by
them has been added to that secured
in previous Investigations of the mi
ners.

DIVERSIFIED PROGRAM
is Outlined BY President Wilson
In Message.
Suggests Tribunal To Peacefully Set
tie Industrial Disputes-Asks for
New Tariff.

Washington, Dec. "A diversified
program to restore a peace-time busf
ness status, revise the tax system.
curb unrest, reduce the cost of living.
and rectify labor and farming condi
lions, was recommended by President
Wilson in his message to the new ses
sion of Congress.
The President asked for new tariff
laws based on the nations changed
relation to the rest Of the world, sug-
gested that the income and excess
profits tax schedules be simplified, adj
vocated steps to improve rural condi-
lions and promote production, and de-
clared for a genuine characterization
of industry" to protect both labor and
capital.
The railroad problem he reserved
for a future message and he made no
statement of his intentions regarding
the peace treaty or Mexico.
He declared the causes of unrest to
be superficial and temporary, and
made his only reference to the Sen
ate's failure to ratify the peace treaty
in saying that restlessness was due
largely to the nations hesitation in
determining it's peace policy.
In an extended discussion of labor
conditions, he declared the workers
had just cause for complaint in many
matters, and that there should be 6
"full recognition of the right of those
who work, in whatever rank, to parti
cipate in some organic way in ever.
decision that. directly affects their wei
fare"
He asserted that the right of ind.
> viduals to strike must be held invie
late, but added that there must be
firm stand against "the attempt b
i any class to usurp a power that onl
government itself has a right to exc:
u else as a protection to all.
Finally he suggested the ESTABLISH
8 ment Of a tribunal for peaceful dec
sion of Industrial disputes.
