COAL WILL BE MINED

IT is TO BE HOPED that the federal govern
1 ment will carry out the plan announced the
other day after cabinet meeting, which is,
briefly, to seize the coal mines where the pres
ent owners and operators show disposition
not to act for the common good, put soldiers on
the premises and protect all men who are will
ing to work at digging coal
If the federal government fails to do this
then 1t is to be hoped that the several states
chiefly responsible for the coal supply of the
nation will seize the mines put soldiers on the
premises and protect all men who are willing
to dig coal
The federal government should act 1t is
the business Of the general government so to
act in such an emergency as the present one.
And, once having taken over the mines. the
government should retain and control them
until such time as absolute guarantees are
given that coal will be produced in proper
quantities and under proper conditions. I'm
less such guarantees are given-absoute guar
antees-the government should operate the
mines indefinitely.
The operators and the miners are driving
the American people head-forward toward
government ownership Of all coal mines if not
indeed of all natural resources which are nee
essary to health and happiness.
The constitution is not going to suffer by
the taking over of the coal mines. The people,
it appears, are going to suffer unless the mines
are taken over Many of the people are suf-
fering now because the mines are not operated.
The people cannot afford to suffer very much
longer or very much more severely.
The determined stand taken by the COVER
nOrs Of Oklahoma and Kansas is highly COM
mendable. The people of these two states are
standing almost solidly back of their governors
The people insist that the mines be operated
and the mines will be operated.
But the federal government should be the

know, was the hero of John Hays Pike county

to blow up, as in the ballad. The boat is safe

NlENNESE COUNT AYERS
THAT PIGS IN SERBIA
CAUSED THE GREAT WAR

Buchs. Switzerland, Nov 29-Pigs
Just ordinary barnyard pigs brought
jn the world war. This Is the latest
contribution, from the royal houses Of
the central empires submitted to his
tory as the cause OF the conflict. 1t
: put forth seriously by no less "a per
sonage than Count Carl Seilern, late
confidential counsellor to Emperor
Charles in Vienna.
In a statement TO a member OF the
convoy bringing American Red Cross
relief to Budapest, the count explained
how plain. ordinary porkers-the kind
from which the packers extract every
thing hut the squeal-were the cause
of the world cataclysm,
Fifteen years before tAe war; said
Count Seilern. "SerD4a was shipping
great numbers of pigs into Hungary,
successfully competing with the Hun
garan farmer and cutting into his in
come. The ,Hungarlans protested, but
the border was left open. Finally heed
ing the pleas of It's people, the Austro.
Hungarian government, on the pre-
text that all Serbian pigs were dis,
eased. placed an embargo on them.
up to that time the two govern
ments had more or less of friendly
understanding. After this both sides
became irritated and practiced every

As "a convention it was unique.
While there was organization for the

meeting had little in common with
the traditional convention. Its ac-

spontaneous as they were high in
purpose.
Issues of vital national importance
were met squarely. Advice which
the country has awaited from the
Legion on many problems was given
in no uncertain or fatering voice.
The Legion did not mince words on
the necessity Of house cleaning Of

The Birth of The Legion
By GENE BYRNEs


HE spirit Of new America was
crystallizcd in the charter con.
venton marking the official
birth of The American Legion. An
America for Americans, an America
perpetuated in the highest ideals OF
democracy and equality rose out of
this epochal gathering.
The direct answer was given to
the question for which all America
has awaited the answer: What will
the men who were in service do?
Their action was unequivocal. They
will make greater and finer and
cleaner America. Their every deci-
sion demonstrated that they have in
fact bonded themselves together, as
the preamble Of their constitution
says, For God and Country"
one hundred per cent Americanism
was defined by the actions of this
convention. Not in resolution or
academic pronouncements but in
concrete acts and by the adoption
of concrete principles.
At no time did the delegates rep
resenting every state and territory of
the country heed the appeal Of self.
ishness. The demands that they put
forth were for the good of the coun-
try and not for themselves. They
made it plain that they are not Il
class fighting for their owl inter.
