LAWRENCE REVEALS
PLAN OF PRESIDENT
TO END COAL STRIKE

Washington, Dec. 8.-Out of
succession of blunders in handling
the coal crisis, the Wilson admin
istration finally has evolved plan
which is designed to save the faces of
all concerned-a typical compromise
that might just as well have been pro-
posed two weeks ago, and spared the
country a period of unnecessary suf-
fering.
Briefly, the plan resembles the
method adopted by the late Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt, when as presi
dent of the United States, he per-
suaded the miners to 60 back to work
while a commission investigated"
the subject with the result that the
miners got substantial increase in
wages and the operators increased
the selling price to the public.
The present situation is compli-
Gated by the fact that inside the gov
iernment, two rival authorities essayed
to settle the striks-Secretary Wilson
with his suggestion of 81 per cent
increase in wages based upon an in
crease in the selling price of coal
and DR.. Harry A. Garfield, fuel ad-
ministrator, with his ultimatum, that
the selling price of coal must not be
increased and that the miners should
get along on IA per cent increase
in wages.
Cabinet Side-Steps Issue
The cabinet didn't have the au-
dacity to adjust this difference but
side-stepped the issue, failing even
to consult President Wilson. Now,
however, the cabinets error has been
corrected to the extent of getting
Mr.. Wilson's personal attention to
the whole controversy. He virtually
has knocked sky-high both the plans
suggested, and undertaken by new
scheme, to effect a settlement.
The presidents official family has
been uneasy about the coal situa-
ton because it was discovered that
didn't get coal and that
the miners were in earnest in their
determination to fight to a finish for
wages that would enable them to
meet the cost of living.

MAYNARD DECLARES
HE is misunderstood

New York, Dec. lin statement
issued tonight just before his depar-
ture for Washington to appear tonlor-
row before Gen. Charles T. Menoher
director of air service, Lieut.. Belvin
w. Maynard, asserted that extracts of
his statement given to the Anti
Saloon league were not intended as
criticism of the air service. He said
he made two plausible mistakes, one
one of them he referred to his own
sobriety.
He declared it would be embarrass-
ing to him to give specific instances
to prove his conten;;oa aHa hc could
not afford to do it.
apparently extracts from the
statement I gave the Anti-Saloon lea
que after it's repeated requests re-
garding the effect of the use of
alcoholic beverages in the air SER
vice, have stirred up commotion in
aviation circles" the statement said.
"My purpose was to give an honest,
straightforward opinion based on
my personal observations of its eff
feet on pilots. These extracts do not
convey this opinion"
"My purpose was not to criticise
the air service which in my opinion is
made up of choice young men who
are noted for their sobriety. Our fiji
ers are not booze artists and our
planes are not Floating Saloons l
commend our air service to every
young man as what I believe to be
the most attractive and congenial
corps of our army for young men.
Notwithstanding there are few in
every other vocation, who are not
discreet. From by observation of
those few I have drawn my conclu-
Sion".

TOO MUCH BOOZE
BAD FOR AIRMEN

New York, Dec. S.-The secret of
the failure of some of the pilots in the
recent trans-continental air race
can be attributed to too much booze"
Lieut.. Belvin w. Maynard, the ely
ling Parson" declared in a statement
made public tonight by the anti
saloon league. eff all of them had
been as sober as myself, l would not
have been the winner" he added.
Although he declared he was "prej-
:, diced against strong drink" the ely
ing Parson" admitted there are "a
few instances when a pilot might be-
justified in using it."
He pointed out that the aviator
might take drink to tide him over
after becoming exhausted after con-
Itinuous flying for IL or Is hours.
Lieutenant Maynard said that many
of the fatal air accidents were due to
pilots flying "half intxicated" or
with hangover from the night be-
fore"
"a pilot needs every bit of gray
matter God has given him in an emer-
gency and to have a brain clear from
hang over and the effects Of booze j:
a great asset" he said.
Savannah, Dec. S.-Lieutenant
Maynard, upon being shown the
statement attributed to him by the
IAnti-saloon league as sent out from
New York, said:
eyes it is nearly correct"
Then taking his pencil he made the
final paragraph read: "a pilot needs
every bit of gray matter God has
given him in an emergency. To have
clear brain, free from hangovers
and the effects of the booze is &
great asset"
THAT makes it clearer" he said.
Lieutenant Maynard when reading
the story from New York sat at the
honor table at banquet where SOC
persons were in attendance.

AMERICAN FARMERS
NOT REVOLUTIONISTS

Marie Sullivan shows in Golfers
for Oct 4 that the largest sino'.,
group in the population of America
is the farmers. that in any president
ial election the farmers contribute
over a third. and close to a half az
the entire vote. No fundamenta'
change in the economic and political
structure of America can he made IL
it is against the interest of the far
mer.
The farmers are not only most num-
erous but the most independent and
and dependable class of voters. and
thew swing the country.
AS the farmers in our country
nearly all own their own farms they
will not encourage extreme radicalisrn
or revolution. There is no more
intense devotion to property interests
anywhere than the farmer has to-
ward his acres.
The farmer is certain to oppose
anything in the nature of communism
and he will not help put over any
form of radicalism in politics.
Those who snend their lives in the
cities forget this fact. but as a rule
the politicians don't forget it.
Witness daylight saving Law. re-
pealed over the veto of the president
the farmer gets what he wants.

to the call of the master mind and
his assistant potentates.
In the mean time loan OF two
millions for state farm loans has been
floated at par by the state putting up
an equal amount of cash in outside
banks to guarantee the loan and pay
ing interest before it is due.
This little bank with $7SO,OOO loans
to Nonpartisan league socialistic
schemes alone is just sample oil
what North Dakota can look forward
to with political class organization
such as the Nonpartisan league in
control OF the state government in
Guiding an official state bank, etc.
Other states where the league is
seeking to establish its socialistic
form of government can we'll afford
to see how North Dakota fares be-
fore swallowing the Townley schemes.

PLUNGING STILL.
MORE WILDLY

The failure of the Fargo Skandip.
avian bank for Sl.60O.O0O with Non.
partisan league activities owing the
bank three-auarters of million. has
attracted nation wide attention.
A. c. Townley. head of the league
with Characteristic activity has set
machinery to work to rehabilitate the
buster bank in truly Nonpartisan
league style and methods.
The bank held only $4,000 capital
and $4,000 surplus. At a mass meet
ing Townley planned to increase the
capital to 100000 and called upon the
farmer members of the Nonpartisan
league to take the stock. He made
an impassioned socialistic address for
two hours, called all who did not be-
lieve in political banking hard names
and enemies of the common people
and ordered street parade.
The mass meeting paraded the prin-
cipal streets led by band as a dem
onstration of financial stability and
then the powwow adjourned subject

you please explain the meaning o.
collective bargaining?"
The term is old enough, but il
probably has never before been in
such common use. Briefly, it calls
for acceptance of the principle oil

gaining he not only comedies that
they have right to form union
but agrees to deal with accredited
representatives of that union in mat.

are working for him or not. The
workers are thus given the right tc
use their collective strength in bar.

terms, hence the expression now SC
often used
Some employers have always re.
fused to admit this right, contend.
ing that they will deal only with
their own men, and with them only
as individuals. They maintain that
outsiders, under which head they
class the business agents and walk
ing delegates of unions, have not right
to NEEDLE in issues between an en-
ployer and his men. They say that
If one of their employees has a griev-
ance they will talk it over with him
which constitutes individual instead
of collective bargaining.
The split in the national industrial
conference was primarily due to the
refusal of certain representatives o.
the large employing interests to give
complete recognition to the unions.
The union representatives withdrew
because they felt that without gain
ing their principal and fundamental
point it was useless to negotiate
longer.
