have been surprised to find the coal
strike still on" said my friend. That
is the cruelest weapon which they
have to use. It is a weapon which
is used not only against strikers, but
against the whole American public.
From the first to the last a smoth-
ering silence has surrounded the
strike. When I first went to New
York, three weeks after the begin
ming of the strike, I was greeted
with: H."
"why, the steei strike is over"
At that time the whole Mahoning
valley which includes Youngstown,
all of West Virginia, and the Ohio
river districts were dark as a black
pocket. There was nothing doing
in the Colunet district. Since then
also some American scabs have
opened up some of these places.
But this makes no difference. The
foreigners are sticking. Without a
doubt 80 per cent of them who went
on strike Sept. % are still out.

President Shea Of Brotherhood
Of Railroad Firen1en Pays
Respect to Esch Bill.

NEW YORK, Dec. 10.-At the an
nual dinner Of the academy Of politi-
cal science, Acting President Shea, Of
the Brotherhood Of Fireman and En-
ginemen served notice on antl-strike
advocates that they were starting
something they could never finish. In
a straight m-the-shoulder talk he
told his hearers that labor would not
submit to the anti-strike provisions in
the Cummins railroad bill, or other
similar legislation
The brotherhood official declared
that the same group and the same
reasoning have attempted to continue
the enslavment Of the iron and steel
workers by denying them the right Of
collective bargaining.
These interests are also RESPONSE
BILE for the failure of the national in
dustrial conference called by Presi-
dent Wilson. They are also the fun
damental forces against bituminous
mine workers and are at the bottom
Of the conspiracy to exploit both the
miners. and the consumers Of coal.
Their purpose is to continue un-
checked their wartime profiteering
and the exploitation Of wage earners
and the public in which profitable pol
icy they had been so successful prior
to the war. We shall resist this con-
spiracy to the utmost"

ed States to offer himself, his ability,

the government in the event of war
did you know that?"

"Your perusal of The Tribune did
not give you that information about
Mr.. Ford?"
NO"
R. R. Mccormick, president of The
Tribune company, and one of the edl-
tors Of the paper, was another wit
ness. Mr.. Mccormick testified that
The Standard Oil and International
Harvester interests, in which Tribune
stockholders have holdings, never in
any way directed the policy of the pa
per towards Mexico. His testimony
also touched the matter of salaries,
which The Tribune cut of as soon as
men entered the service of the nation
in the great war. although it had con-
tinued salaries when its employees
were called to the border. The fact
that the army pay had been doubled,
that married men were discharged
from the guard and that CONSUMPTION
had been put in force, caused the pa
per to change its policies, Mr.. McCol-
mick stated.
E. G. Liebold, general secretary to
Mr. Ford, and Edsel Ford, the presi-
dent of the Ford Motor Company, were
called to the witness stand by The
Tribune late in the week. Mr.. Liebold
testified concerning a letter which he
had written in response to a commu-
nication which sought to interest Mr..
Ford In a device which would deal
out death.

Coblenz.-At the time the Ameri-
cans began withdrawing from Ger
many the United States army had per-
fected n of the finest telephone sys-
tens in Europe. From the headquar-
tiers of the third army in Coblenz fifty
long-distance lines had been set up
and 1t Is possible for the command
ing general to sit in his office and
talk with American officers in London,
Berlin, Vienna, Rotterdam, Brussels,
Antwerp, Paris and various other
European points.
The army of occupation has a tele-
phone system closely resembling the
best commercial system in the United
States. On the top floor of the head
quarters building in Coblenz a nine
position switchboard was installed
soon after the Americans reached the
Rhine. Scattered throughout Coblenz
are twenty private branch exchanges
of the various units of headquarters.
Connected to this system are more
than four hundred subscribers" in
addition to the fifty long-distance
lines.
10000 Miles of Wire.
Within the German occupied area
there has been established by the sig
nal corps under the direction Of Col.
Parker Hit, chief signal officer, a net
work of wires connecting the various
units of the third army. Direct lines
connect with all the corps and divi-
sions, approximately 10000 miles of
wire being in service.
This extensive plant has not. how
ever, been built by the third army, but
consists almost altogether of the Ger
man lines taken over by the signal
corps and so arranged as to meet the
needs of the army. Sufficient circuits
were left, however, for the civilian
population to carry on their business.
More than $4,000 calls are register
ed daily on the Coblenz switchboard.
With the establishment of an eN-
change in 'Coblenz 1t was necessary
to employ operators who could speak
English, French and German. The if
teen operators on duty In Coblenz are
all members of the women's telephone
corps and have been In the service
more than a year. The chief opera
tor, Miss Helen Cook, was a former
employee of the American Telephone
and Telegraph company of New York.
Previous to joining the American ex-
peditionary force, Miss Cook spent six
years as instructor for the Bell sys-
TEN in offices in Chicago, Minneapolis,
Omaha, Cleveland, Detroit and Men,

"DoodIebug" Code Name.
The word "Doodlebug" is the code
name of the third army switchboard
in Coblenz, the corps and divisions al
so retaining the code names that were
assigned them during the war. On the
back of a tw~enty-page telephone d.
rectory issued by the third army the
artists conception of a "doodlebug"
has been reproduced in the shape of a
bug made up Of a combination OF
sabres, rifles and an aerial bomb.
All the apparatus, including switch
boards, telephone instruments, and, in
fact, everything excepting the wires,
is of American manufacture and is
to be taken out when the Americans
in force say good-by to the Rhine and
start for France and home.

During the course OF his testimony
Mr.. Blake characterized the utteri

stand that Mr.. Ford's position could

bear fruit, and troops were being hur-

Henry Ford in its way.

Blake admitted that the newspaper

to declare that the submarine issue
