PUPILS TO STUDY
 CIVIC GOVERNMENT

The pupils of the Seward high school have formed an organization to be known as the Seward High School Civic Club. The purpose of the or ganization is to discuss current topics, study the fundamental principles of civil government, and quicken the spirit of American patriotism.
 The Americans creed has been learned and adopted?
 q believe in the United States of America as a government of the peo- pie, by the people, for the people, whose just powers are derived from the consent of the government; a de- mocracy in a republic; sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union, one and inseparable, established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and human ity for which American patriots sacri- feed their lives and fortunes.
 'T, therefore, believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support it's constitution; to obey it's laws; to respect it's flag; and to defend it against all enemies"
 Paul Guy is chairman and Elsie Leslie secretary of the Civic Club.

SEWARD WOMEN DESIRE PUBLIC
 LIBRARY FUND

The Woman's Club of Seward has presented a proposition to the city council of that city for the establish ment of public library in our neigh boring town, as follows:
 For some months past the Woman's Club fo Seward has been working upon the proposition of library for the town of Seward. To this end we have been collecting and have been promised several hundred volumes to be used as a nucleus around which to build These books are available as soon as the founding of library is an established fact
 It is useless to bring to the atten- tion of an intelligent group of men the great need of such an institution in our town, not only for the general en- lightenment and culture of our grown people, but as an aid to our public schools. The value to the community of well-selected books in free and easy circulation is obvious, particularly at this time, when the education of the public is the only means we have of offsetting the evils of Bolshevik prop aganda.
 Various schemes for financing libra ries as tried out in other communities have been investigated and the one presented below is considered best for use in Seward.
 Therefore the Woman's Club of Sew ard does hereby petition that the coun- cil of the town of Seward give the following earnest consideration and pass such ordinance as shall guaran- tee the present and future support of the Seward public library, in conform ity with the following plan:
 That the sum of $500 to be used for the maintenance of the Seward public library be included in the yearly expense budget of the town of Sew ard; that such steps be taken which will guarantee this sum yearly with out recourse to further legal enact ment; that the mayor be empowered to appoint board of regents, com posed of both men and women, said board to govern the library and to disburse all funds, giving report to the city council at stated intervals; their term of office should be three years, one member or more to be re tired each year, thus insuring that the majority of the board of regents shall be experienced in library work.
 To the above proposition the Wom- ans Club of Seward pledge their yoyal support and volunteer to aid the coun- cil and the board of regents in any way within their power.

to permit public places to have unre-
stricted hours.
However, Parisians have, during
more than five years, acquired the
habit of retiring early, and walters are
quite satisfied to have them continue
this practice, as the night life OF Paris
does not yield the same revenue that
1T did before the war. Moreover, the
elght-hour law complicates the situa-
tlon, by requiring restaurants and
cafes to engage additional help. Only
on the boulevards, where establish

keeping open until late at night.

poses Federal Regulation

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 14.-Increased
fares on street railways, put into ef-
feet in nearly all the large cities Of
the country, have not resulted in sat
isfactory operating conditions, it was
brought out here to-day in discussion
of the tramway betterment problem by
the National Association of Railways
and Utilities Commissioners.
Among the speakers were Governor
James P. Goodrich of Indiana. Charles
Elmquist, president of the organiza-
ton, and Clyde B. Aitchisor, chairman
of the Interstate Commerce Comnis-
sion.
Undue centralization of power IN
Washington is menace to the welfare
of the people of the United States. Mr..
Elmquist said.
Declaring his faith in the various
state commissions, President Elmquist
said he believed that under no cir
cumstances should the Federal govern
ment attempt to do thing which can
be better done by the states them
selves"
1.-The American people have not been
convinced that private operation of
railroads is a failure" President Elm
quist said public service commis-
sions face several trying years. Regu-

standing on the part of all concerned
will result in a betterment of conoi-
tions."
Enactment Of legislation to insure

needs in time of war rs well as in
peace was the policy outlined by Nj.
Aitchison.
In times of great national stress.
said Mr. Aitchison, the constituents Of
the transportation system of the coun-
try must be capable Of prompt mobiii
zatlon and operation as single unit
To accomplish this, he said, is one Of
the highest Offices of the national law
making body.
AS a necessary means Of preventing
wastefu competition, the speaker
recommended a national regulating
body which would have power to pre-
scribe the minimum rate as well as
the maximum. This authority. he said,
has long reposed in many of the state
regulating tribunals, but has never
been vested in the Interstate Commerce
Commission. Also a modification Of
the present plan of district trait ic
committees, under the direction OF
public authority may be necessary as
stabilzing influence during the re-
/ adjustment stage following Federal
control, that the carriers and the coun-
! try may be spared the burden of any

Secretary Wilson Calls Mine
Union Chief and Leader
of Soft Coal Operators
to Washington C Conference
Rail Tie-Up Is Feared
Frelinghuysen Says Senate
May Prosecute Under
War Pledge to Garfield

WASHINGTON, Oct. 14.-Immediate
steps to avert the threatened nation
wide strike Of bituminous coal mine
workers are to be taken by the Federal
government. After President Wilson's
Cabinet had discussed the situation at
length to-day Secretary Wilson, of the
Department of Labor. announced that
he would invite John l.. Lewis, presi-
dent of the United Mine Workers of
America, and John L. Brewster, repre-
senting the operators. to confer with
him here, probably Thursday.
While efforts Of the miners and op-
orators to reach an agreement on the
demands of the workers, which include
increased pay and shorter hours, have
failed, Secretary Wilson is hopeful that
some amicable adjustment of the con-
troversy can be made. It is under.
stood that he will impress upon both
Mr. Lewis and Mr.. Brewster the i'm
portance of uninterrupted operation OF
the mines upon the life of the nation
Would Paralyze Railroads
The possible effect of such q strike
on the railroads is understood to be
uppermost In the minds Of government
officials. A shutdown of the mine.
would result in a paralysis of the
transportation system within a short
time, with consequent suffering over
the country, because Of the shutting
off of populous centres from food sup
plies. Industry also would be brought
to standstill, with public utilities
stopped and shipping tied up
President Lewis, Of the miners
union, who has been in this city con-
ferring with other union officials
went to indianapolis to-day to pre-
pare the call for the strike on Novem
Der i. Officials hope the issuing Of
the call will be deferred until aftel
the conference here.
Entire Cabinet May Act
Should the conference be barren o
results, further action by the govern
ment is expected, but no one in au
thority would venture to suggest wha
form that action would take. Will
the Cabinet to-day decided to leave
the settlement of the strike with tn
Department of Labor, it was regarde
as more than likely that if the con
ference failed the entire Cabine
would consider the next course.
Senator Frelinghuysen, of New Jersey
chairman Of the Senate Subcommittee
that is investigating the coal situation
declared to-day that the sub-committe
is inclined to warn the miners that i
they strike they will be violating
contract with the government, mad
with Fuel Administrator Garfield, an
that the Senate may press actiol
against them.

TittOni Confident
Allies Will Favor
His Fiun1e Device
Minister Contends Plan Is
Virtually the Same as
Wilson's; Stops to Confer
With King Emmanuel

ROME, Oct. 14.-Foreign Minister
Tittoni. who left Rome yesterday for a
conference with King Victor Emmanuel
at the royal shooting lodge at San Ros-
sore, en- route to the peace conference,
expressed confidence before his depart
ure that his new proposal for settle
ment of the Fiume and Dalmatian prob
lem would be received with favor, since,
he declares, it practically accepts the
proposal of President Wilson in re-
gard to Fiune. He asks only annexa-
tion of the district of Volosca, lying
between Fiume and Triest, to Italy in
rider to establish a joint boundary be.
tween the enlarged Kingdom of Italy
"This insignificant annexation Of a
little strip of land and few thousand
inhabitants" as it is characterized d
here, would have, he argues, the triple
advantage of preventing Fiume from
being entirely surrounded by Jugo.
Slavia, avoiding contact between Italy
and Jugo-Slavia, and of affording a GER
tain moral satisfaction to the Italians
thereby facilitating the task of the
Cabinet in inducing them to accept the
compromise.
AS another feature of his proposal
Minister Tittoni asked that the island
of Lagosta be added to the other Dal'
matian islands assigned to Italy unde,
the original division Of these islands
between Italy and Jugo-Slavia.
The project, besides making cara
capital Of Dalmatia, a free city, pro-
vides that 1t be represented diplomati-
cally by Italy
Signor Tittoni realizes the project
will not satisfy the Italians, who feel
that Fiume, through the principle of
self determination and its Italian pre-
ponderance, has the unquestionabls
right to be annexed to Italy.

Report Says Wages Kept
Pace With Living Cost
National Industrial Conference
Board Compares 1914 With
1919 Figures

BOSTON, Oct. 14.---Average wages Of
men in eight leading industries as
measured by average hourly earnings
increased all the way from "a per cent
to 112 per cent during the period from
September, 1914, to March, 1919, ac-
cording to report issued to-day by the
National Industrial Conference Board.
Increases in weekly earnings of men
ranged from 62 per cent to 10 per cent.
Percentage increases in earnings Of
female workers were broadly similar in
the respective industries, with, how
ever, a somewhat wider range.
The eight industries included were
metal, cotton, wool, silk, boot and shoe,
paper, rubber and chemical manufac-
turing.
The increases shown were in most
cases greater than the corresponding
percentage increase in cost of living,
which was placed by a previous report
of the board at GLIB per cent for the
period ending July, 1914, to March,
1919. The report emphasizes, however,
that comparison of relative values af-
fords no means whereby the adequacy
of the wages or living standards pre-
valing in either period can be deter
mined.'
The highest average of hourly earn
ings Of males for any of the eight in
dustries in March, 1919, was 61.2 cents,
in rubber manufacturing; the lowest
38.9 cents, in cotton manufacturing.
The corresponding averages in 1914
were 28.8 cents and 1879 cents, respec-
lively. The highest hourly average for
women in 1919 was 1928 cents, in
woollen manufacturing, the lowest 90 2
cents. in rubber manufacturing. The
corresponding 1914 averages we're 1877
cents and 174 cents

II have been much disturbed by the
reports to the effect that the operators
and miners have failed to reach an
agreement and have adjourned with
out making arrangements for further
conference, and that strike 4 there
fore likely to take place in the btu
minous coal fields of the United States

executive Of the government intrusted
with the responsibility of mediation,
would like to have you meet me in the
Office of the Secretary Of Labor in
Washington at II o'clock Thursday

respectfully request that no strike or
der be issued until after I have had
an opportunity Of conference with
you. I have also asked Mr.. Brewster

While work on the strike order was
continued, 1t probably will not be made
public for day or two, as it wa:
stated that nothing would be giver
out until the order had been printed
and mailed to the 1000 local unions ir
the country.
A statement Of the position Of thu
miners was issued from the headquar-
ters to-day in which all blame for the
crisis facing the country was placed
upon the operators. The miners point
ed out that the operators "brushec
aside all the demands of the miners
like so much chaff" and offered nothing
in their stead except renewal of the
Washington wage agreement, undel
which they are now working, and which
the miners declared they were forced
to reject "for the reason that it is i'm
possible for the coal miners to make
living under the Washington agree
ment"
