against him.
UNIoNISM THREATENED.

Fuel Administrator Garfield in al
statement at Washington said: Re
port has come to me that the present
crisis in the coal industry win be used
TO break down the labor union. / wish
to say that I am as much opposed to
any attempt to destroy the principle
of collective bargaining and the union
or the nottingham as ! am to the ef-
forts of labor leaders to keep labor
satisfied by constant boosting o.
wages regardless of public interest, or
to the effort Of leaders in the indus
trial world to boost profits unduly 10
the hurt of the public. Any attempt TO
complicate the issue at this time by
seeking to destroy the union of mine
workers or the principle of collective
bargaining will be resented by the pub
lie and opposed to me-
The fairness of Mr.. Garfield and his
caution in not taking a position in ad-
vance of public opinion are evident.
Perhaps the public would resent any eff
fort to destroy the union of the mine
workers at this time but it would not
be so resentful as it would have been a
few months ago. During the past
few months the country has had SO
many examples OF the failure of col
lective bargaining TO make agreements
binding on labor that it has been Sc
riously discounted. Labor leaders have
so persistently followed the policy OF
constantly boosting wages and increas
ing the cost of production they hav'
thrown terrible burden upon the con
Stunning public. They have failed Sc
often to keep the men working undel
the agreements they made that thei
claim of leadership is materially weak
ened. Only Saturday $500 yardmel
and trainmen of the Kansas City ter
minal and, railroads entering the cit,
went on strike, although the Brother
| hood of Railroad Trainmen refused Z
authorize q strike It is the rePeate
regulation of their unions by til
workingmen themselves that is mos
seriously threatening the unions an

1t is reported that one of the first

will be to rid the province of its prize

that this province of 100000 people
maintains the most extravagant CUB

THE NEWBERRY SCANDAL.

The news that Truman H. Newberry
who defeated Henry Ford in the sena
torial contest of Michigan has been
indicted by federal grand jury for
corruption. fraud and conspiracy in
connection with the election gives So
we're shock to all who believe in pop
ular government Indictment is not
conviction, but in this ease the ale
cations arc definite enough to indicate
guilt. It. is alleged that voters were
bribed, election boards corrupted, ed
itors subsidized and moving picture
theatres bought in the endeavor to de-
feat Mr.. Ford, first in the primaries of
both parties and later in the election
itself 1t is reported that between
100000 and $l,000000 were fraudu-
lently expended in connection with the
election. One hundred and thirty-three
other persons were indicted jointly with
Mr. Newberry in connection with the
frauds.

Smith,.

At an early hour Sunday morning
the spirit Of Mrs. Eliza Griffen Smith.
wife Of Mr.. George Smith, Sr., passed
into the Beyond. The community
was saddened by the realization of
the loss of one of its most estimable
women.
Mrs. Smith was born in Somerset,
ny, November 1874 At the age of
twenty-five she was married to Mr.,
George Smith, their union being
blessed with six children, three of
whom survive.
Mr.. and Mrs. Smith came to make
Lancaster their home about forty
five years ago and since that time
have been highly esteemed citizens
gathering about them as the years
went by the endearing associations
and appreciation of the towns people
which always comes with long and
worthy residence.
Mrs. Smith became a member OF
the Christian Church in her girlhood.
and through life found comfort and
enjoyment in the services of her
church. All who came in contact
with her socially, or in humble SER
vice. went away with a sense of her
goodness. her generosity and ' sin
cerity. Her friendship lasted thru
all changes of fortune. Hers was
gentle, helpful, forbearing. sunny
nature. Those who knew her in her
home found there a little haven of
kindly sociability sharpened by a
lively interest in the outside world
and a good will for all that discour-
aged unjust criticism and harmful
gossip The influence of so devoted
a wife and mother will continue with
her family and by precept will sup
port them in bearing grief bravely.
Especially does ones sympathy go
out to the remaining members of the
home hreside, the venerable hus-
band and devoted daughter. Miss
Eliza. Besides these Mrs. Smith is
survived by her sons, Mr. George
Smith, Jr., and Mr. James W. Smith,
for whom much sympathy is felt in
SO irreparable loss.
