The Call to Service.

The drive of The American Women's
Legion for members has been aus
piciously launched. It could not have
been otherwise. For today, as never
before, the need for those who are
drawn together by the bond of 100
per cent Americanism to formalize
their unity of purpose by organiza
ton is clear to the nation. That
bond alone should. suffice to weld a
compact and effective body for serv-
ice to the country. But when to it is
added that further bond, the knowl-
edge that those who shall work side
by side in the tasks of the legion once
shared the most perfect sacrifice of
giving husband or son or brother that
right might triumph over wrong upon
this earth, the potentiality of the or
ganization for the work ahead, the
appeal it must make to all who are
eligible for membership, becomes
dynamic. No woman of the District
holding the high distinction of eligi-
bility to membership will forego the
privilege which is hers. For by iden-
tifying herself with the legion she
will notify the nation that, having
learned the full meaning of the word
made beautiful at Calvary more than
1000 years ago, she stands ready to
serve in the. work which is ahead.

Bomb Plotters Arrested.

Seven men and a woman were ar
rested in Cleveland the other night
on a charge of implication in a plot
to dynamite the central police station
and suspected also Of completely in
recent bomb outrage committed at
the house Of Mayor Davis. Suisse
quently a man was arrested In New
York on charge Of Identification
with this plot. All Of the people thus
taken into custody bear foreign
names. They are obviously Of the alien
radical group now active in this coun-
try, seeking by crime and public dis
order to promote revolutionary
movement.
Since the beginning Of the steel
strike these alien agitators have been
active, and it is expected that if tho
coal strike occurs, as planned, they
will continue, If not increase, their
efforts at Generalization through ter
rorism. 1t would be a wholesome
thing if they could be rounded I'D, re.
CARELESS Of specific proof Of actual
participation in lawiess deeds or
projects, as a measure of precaution
against disorder and crime in this
crisis.
The most serious menace to the
country today lies in the presence of
these conspirators against the stabil-
ity of government. Last spring a
plot was disclosed which aimed at the
simultaneous explosion of bombs in

was jumped at that the war must be
about over. The map was consulted,
and when New Orleans was located,
it seemed an easy guess that the Con-
federates were now between an early
surrender and the deep blue sea. As
matter of fact, the war was far from
over. The Federals had not fought
their way to New Orleans by land,
and had much hard work still to do.
This is a good time for Europe to
study America; to see how big is
sues arise and are dealt with; to note
how our Institutions function; to note
how public sentiment is formed, and
how employed after taking shape; to
note what majority rule is, and how
effective it can be made in the hands
of those who understand the popular
form of government.
And it would be well for US to re-
member that we are playing to a
larger and more attentive gallery
than ever before. What is going on
in America is of world wide interest
and consequence now. Much IS ex-
pcctcd of us, and much has been prom
ised. So that, on every aecount-for
our own welfare, as we'll as for hold
ing on to the good will and conf
dence of our friends abroad-we
should keep ourselves in good temper
and in good trim, and continue to
show the teamwork which has brought
us to our present place in the world. .

As Others See Us.
A cable from Paris saws:

n caDIe from rams says:
'The labor situation in the United
States got much space in the French
newspapers today. Most of the papers
adopt a pessimistic vein in their COM
ment and paint the situation in dark
colors. - America is fast an
preaching chaos, says the Echo de
Paris
Not chaos. The situation is serious,
but not chaotic. We are a long way
from chaos.
The assurance, both for us and for
the European nations which wish US
we'll, is that the situation is closely
appraised here at home, and all de-
velopments are being promptly noted.
1t is not out of hand, nor likely to
get out of hand The authorities,
local and national, are alert, have
power enough TO meet any emergency,
and will be sustained by public sem
timent in any steps taken to meet the
present emergency. Uncle Sam has
large family, and some of the mem
bers are unruly at times; but when
he commands peace, and shows that
he means business, peace is usually
secured.
1t miX3t be well for the leading
European newspapers, which at pres
ent are giving attention to American
affairs, to honor them with more than
the interest they Ordinarily bestow.
There have been instances when their
misreadings of American occurrences
and tendencies have been amazingly
and an1usingly wide of the mark.
One such instance relates to our
civil war. When the news reached
Europe that Federal troops were &C.

Miners Declare Peace-and War.

state of peace. They have done this
by basing their strike upon the n.y.
pothesis that the war is at an end and

into some months ago for the contin-
ued mining of coal at certain wage
! scale has terminated. In their state
ment explanatory of the decision
| reached yesterday at indianapolis the
union heads say:
"The same supreme authority which
ordered the pending strike" (the coal
miners convention) ais the same as
that which approved the contract
which has now expired. They
! continued mining coal until now their
| contract expires"
The Attorney General. III his state
ment to the public outlining the po-
sition of the government, says:
"Some of the wage contracts were
made with the sanction of the federal
government, operating through the
fuel administration, to run during the
continuation of the war, or until April
], 1920. Many others, however, run
until time still in the future, with
out regard for the continuation of
the war. While it is perfectly plain
that the war is still on and any con-
tract running until its conclusion is
still in force. whatever weight may
be given to the argument that the
successful operation of the war no
longer requires such contracts, it has
no application whatever to the large
number of such contracts which ex-
pire at a fixed date without regard for
the war period The armistice did not
end the war. and the courts in many
eases have held that the war emer-
geney statutes are still in force; the
same rule must, apply to all emer-
gency contracts
The decision Of the miners to strike
November l unless certain demands
were met or negotiated meanwhile
was reached on the 25th of Septem-
Der. At that date. as today, the treaty
OF peace had not been ratified and no
proclamation had been made of
state of peace. The government of
the United States does not regard the
war as at an end. There can be no
question Of the fact that officially and
legally a state Of war prevails. If the
matter is carried to test in court the
miners union will have a serious time
establishing the premises upon which
the right to strike on the basis that
the contracts have expired with the
arrival of peace is founded.

The Public Welfare.

I'm accepting the challenge of the
United Mine Workers the Attorney
General of the United States makes
this declaration: "The government is
the protector Of the public welfare.
In that note the government Will con
ouer. II is only necessary that the
words be supplemented and supported
by action. and it may be assumed
that the government is ready to act.
1t has the power and the means to act.
and is solemDly committed to their
employment.
The public welfare is menaeed, and
needs protection. The government
must act. Winter approaches; and
the season may be severe. The
weather already is sharp. And yet
half a million coal miners. not in s.
state of suffering themselves, have
agreed and arranged to infiiet many
forms of suffering on a hundred and
ten millions of people, their fellow
citizens. Appropriately enough, they
have done this thing at this season of
the year. for it is the coolest biooded
resolution ever formed
These men stress the proposition
that they have right to strike But
they have not the right to exercise
that right at the expense of the pub
lie Their object is to paralyze in
dustry and sow distress all over the
country; and so blind and selfish are
they that the fact seems to escape
them that part of the distress would
fall on themselves and their families.
Their plans comprehend sort of
suicide.
But if men have the right to strike
they also have the right to work; and
the man who in this emergency and
in this mattefe1ects to work, not only
considers his individual welfare, but
the eountfy's, He performs public,
a patrishe service, and earns for him
self the gratitude and admiration of
I'll. -TzIz
1t mfsyu-eeetha such q man in the
exercise of his right will need pro-
lection. The times are abnormal
Much anger and excitement exist. 1t
is a sad fact that very often when a
strike is called a riot follows Blood
is she'd, Property is destroyed. The
more reckless of the strikers, against
the wishes and coUnsels of the ma
5ority, go all lengths in committing
violence.
The Attorney General promises pro-
lection to all miners who want to
work; and he has the means for re-
deeming his promise. The public vel.
fare demands that he employ them to
the utmost. Ard there is hope that
when this spirit is displayed with
frmness, the great majority of the
miners will take another thought. and
seeing that they have put themselves,
or been put by their leaders, in OPP
position to the law and sound public
policy, will face about and take up
their picks and lamps and continue
the mining of coal.
