Washington, Oct. II. - President
Wilson has issued formal statement
with the approval of the full member
ship of his cabinet, declaring the pro-
jected strike of bituminous coal min
ers under present circumstances mot
only unjustifiable, it is unlawful"
The statement called upon officers of
local unions to recall orders for the
strike and added:
Il can do nothing less than to say
that the law will be enforced and
means will be found to protect the
interests of the nation in any emer-
gency that may arise out of this un-
happy business"
Wilson's Statement.
Among other things the presidents
statement says:
"On Sept %, 1919, the convention
of the United Mine Workers of Amer
lea, at Cleveland, Ohio, adopted pro-
posal declaring that all contracts in
the bituminous field shall be declared
as having automatically expired Nov.
l, 1919, and making various demands,
including a 60 per cent increase in
wages and the adoption of a six-hour
work day and five-day week, and
providing that in the event salts.
factory wage agreement should not be
secured for the central competitive
field before Nov. 1, 1919, the national
officers should be authorized and in
structed to call a general strike of all
biLuminous miners and mine workers
throughout the United States effective
Nov. /, 1919.
Pursuant to these instructions the
officers of the organization have is
sued a call to make the strike effec-
tive Nov. /. This is one of the grav-
est steps ever proposed in this coun-
try, affecting the economic welfare and
the domestic comfort and health of the
people. 1t is proposed to abrogate an
agreement as to wages which was
made with the sanction of the United
States Fuel administration and which
was to run during the continuance OF
the war, but not beyond April 1, 1920.
In the circumstances | solemnly re-
quest both the national and the local
officers and also the individual mem.
Ders Of the United Mine Workers of
America to recall all orders looking to
a strike on Nov. 1, and to take what
ever steps mayebe necessary to pre-
vent any stoppage of work.
1T is time for plain speaking. These

ly concern the well-being, the comfort
and the very life of all the people.
feel it is my duty in the public inter
est to declare that any attempt to car
ry out the purpose of this strike and
thus to paralyze the industry of the
country with the consequent suffering
and distress of all our people, must
be considered a grave moral and legal
wrong against the government and the
people of the United States. I can dc
nothing else than to say that the law
will be enforced and the means will
be found to protect the interests of the
al to investigate all the facts with a
view to aiding in the earliest possible
orderly settlement of the question at
issue between the coal operators and
the coal miners to the end that the
just rights, not only Of those inter
ests, but also of the general public
may be fully protected"

creased rents had this board not
taken the stand that it did
"Of course, there are no laws in
Missouri, that would enable us to
prevent increases in rent, but pub
lie opinion goes long ways, and
l find that by handling the matter
through the press, giving the names
and cases where rents have been
unnecessarily increased. that the
policy of others is probably retard-
ed. We feel that the results through
our efforts have been good, although
we will always have profiteers dur
ing times like these"
The mayor of Kansas City ap-
pointed rental rate committee,
with a competent attorney at the
head. Walter L. Lampkin has
written the following account OF
how the rent profiteers are dealt
with in Kansas City:
THE mayors rental rate commit
tee receives complaints against
landlords only in writing. We there
upon request the landlord to appear
before our committee if he desires
to do so, and also request the land
lord to consent to an appraisal OF
his property by committee from
the local real estate board. (The
real estate board having consented
to cooperate with US in making
these appraisements.) If the land
lord fails to appear and give his
side of the case or refuses to con-
sent to said appraisal, we thereupon
give all the facts to the newspaper
reporters and report the matter to
the county assessor for his infor-
nation in fixing an assessed vallla-
ton on such property for taxation
purposes.
{ "Our local newspaper co-operates
with our committee, and we find
that we'll directed publicity is the
potent weapon in nearly all cases
against prohteering landlords. So
much so that in fact we are receiv-
ing no more complaints. 1t is
proper to state, however, that our
local real estate board is made up
very largely of men of high charac-
ter with we'll established regulations
in this city for honesty and fair
dealing, and they voluntarily agreed
among themselves before our COM
mittee was appointed to limit their
increased charges for rent to
reasonable basis, and with few ex-
ceptions these men have made only
reasonable increases. OF course
there are some black sheep in every
flock, and in order to make these
men realize that it is wrong to take
advantage of tenants, we have asked
the president of our bar association
to appoint an attorney for the COM
mittee, and to represent such ten
ants as are designated by the COM
mittee, and accordingly such ator-
ney was appointed"

Don't You Try to
Vamp Me Out Of Jail
Sentence, " Says Judge

Hazel Rubenstein, q years old,
20lo ST.. Mary's avenue, tried to
"vamp" Police Judge Foster in Cen
trail police court yesterday. during
trial on a charge of vagrancy. She
was arrested Tuesday night upon a
warrant sworn out by her former
husband, Luke Rubenstein Of At
lantic, la.
When her name was called, the
young woman stepped to the front
with a sweet smile.
"Now don't try to vamp me out
of Jail sentence" the magistrate
warned her. She smiled more
sweetly, then pathetically told her
story, turning evidence against her
former husband.
Pm divorced from Luke" she
said. He followed me here from
Atlantic, Ia, and lived with me for
several weeks. Then he had me ar
rested. Don't you think he's queer?"
Rubenstein denied that they were
divorced, but was severely repri-
manded by the Judge for his action.
The woman was given 80 days in
iail.

LANDLORDS MAY
RETURN part Of
HIGH rent IN TAX
City Commissioner Butler Pre-
pairing Data for Use Against
Apartment House Rent
Gougers.

In connection with the so-called
high rent probe started by the city
council several months ago, City
Commissioner Butler states that he
is preparing data on most of the
apartment houses, for use by ]. M.
Fitzgerald, county assessor. Mr..
Butler anticipates that the assessor
will raise the valuations on these
apartments next year on a basis
which will be warranted by the in
.rease of rents.
1t was 4 resolution by Mr.. Butler
MAT originally started the rent in
yestigation in the council chamber.
The council disposed of the matter
by referring it to committee of
which Mr.. Butler is the only active
member. Mr.. Butler feels that
something will have been accom-
9lished il the valuations of rent
orofiteers will be raised and thereby
he tax returns enhanced.
What Other Cities Do.
In this connection Mr.. Butler has
received two interesting letters on
the high rent question from St.
Louis and Kansas City. The chief
interest in the letters is to show
the difference in the activities of
public officials in those cities and
those in Omaha.
The letter from ST. Louis is sign
cd by Lewis T. Tune, chairman of
the complaint board, which is main
tanned in connection with the mu-
nicipal government. The letter
reads:
Numerous landlords and real es-
tate agents attempted to increase
rents several months ago, unneces-
sarily, and on complaints from nu--
nerous occupants of buildings and
apartments the mayor designated
this board to take up and investi-
gate the cases in question, having in
mind where the rents were increas-
ed, to work in conjunction with the
city assessor, causing the values OF
the property to be increased proper
tionately, thereby bringing more
revenue to the city.
Names Made Public.
mot only this, but this board has
made public through the press, the
names of those who have sought to
increase rents on property, to too
great an extent. The publicity given
has had favorable effect upon
many who probably would have in

Twelve of his tenants agreed in
writing that they would continue
their occupancy and would tender

the committee.
