legal wrong against the government and

"WoODRow WILSON,"
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1919-10-27

Washington, Oct. 27.- President
Wilson's statement calling on the coal
miners of the nation to rescind the
strike order, effective November 1,
follows:
ION September %. 1919, the convention of
the United Mine Workers of America, at
Cleveland, o.. adopted a proposal declaring
that all contracts in the bituminous field
shall be declared as having automatically
expired November. 1, 1919, and making
various demands, including 60 per cent
increase in wages and the adoption of a
six-hour work day and u five-day week I;
and providing that in the central competi-
tive field before November, 1919 the ma
tiOnal officials should be authorized and
instructed to call n. general strike of all
bituminous miners and mine workers
thruout the United States. effective Noyem-
Der 1. 1919.
"Pursuant to these instructions, the Of
ffeers OF the organization have issued a call
to make the strike effective November 1.
This is one of the grayest steps ever pro-
posed in this country affecting the econ
omic welfare and the domestic comfort and
abrOgate an agreement as to wages which
was made with the sanction of the United
to run during the continuance of the war,
but not beyond April 1, 1920.
Whole Country Would Suffer.
t'This strike is proposed at time when
the government is making the most earn
est effort to reduce the cost of living and
of workers to postpone similar disputes
until a reasonable opportunity has been
afforded for dealing with the cost of liv-
ing. 1t is recognized that the strike would
practically shut off the country's supply
of its principal fuel Mt time when in
reference With that supply is calculated
to create q disastrous fuel famine All
interests would be affected alike by a
strike of this character and it's victims
would be not the rich only but the poor
and the needy ms well-those least able
to provide in advance a fuel supply for
domestic use.
ut would Involve the shutting down Of
countless industries aud the throwing out
of employment of large number of the
workers Of the country. 1t would involve
stopping the operation Of the railroads,
electric light and gas plants. street rail-
way lines and other public utilities and the
Shipping to and from this country, thus
preventing orr giving aid to the allied
countries with supplies which they ser
iOusly need. The country is confronted
with this prosnect at a time when the war
itself is still a fact, when the world is
still in suspense as to negotiations for
peace, when our troops are still being
transported and when their means of trans
port Is in urgent need of fuel. >
Such Strike Is Unlawful.
"From whatever angle the subject may
be viewed, it is apparent that such a strike
in such circumstances would be the most

X. U.-AMES IN A TIE
Twice Kansans Lacked Punch Close 20
tho Goal Line.

Ames, Ia, Oct. 27.-The Kansas
university eleven Saturday held Iowa
State to a scoreless tie in gruelling
battle The Cyclones, outweighed at
least ten pounds to the man, showed
a great defense and smashed all Kan
sas chances to score. From the start
the game developed into kicking
duel between Lonborg and Boyd, with
the Ames midget having the better
of the argument. his kicks varying
around forty-five yards.
The Kansans outclassed Ames in re-
turning punts, bringing the ball back
on an average of ten yards each time.
On one occasion Wood returned the
ball thirty-five yards thru the entire
Amest team. Poor headwork by the
Jayhawkers robbed them of a certain
victory on two different occasions.
After making fair catches the Kan
sans elected to try a free kick once
from their own 4S-yard line, missing
the goal posts by three feet But
twice when they were in the SHADOW
of the Ames goal posts they tried to
smash the ball over and We're held
once on the 5-yard line and another
time on the 9-yard line, directly in
front of the goal posts.
The Iowans, on the other hand,
saved themselves by some clever field
generalshIp on the part OF boyu. a
steady rain the night before made
the field a mass of mud and the light
Ames backfield could not get started
The ball was muddy and wet, frequent
fumbles resulting at critical times.
The heavy Kansas back could do little
bucking up against the Cyclone for
ward wall and made all their gains
around the ends. Vaudeville was the
only Jayhawker who could pierce the
line. He and Wood doomed head and
shoulders over anyone on the field in
advancing the ball. Wood exhibited
some clever open field work in return
ing Boyd's punts for the Ames team.

cone in the Kansas conference Satur-
day by defeating the Kansas Normal
eleven, IA 20 Z. in thrilling fourth
quarter rally. Battling thru the sec
ond and third quarters with the score
7 to T. Coach Bates's team opened up
with an array of forward passes
which swept the heavy Teachers back
until Dalcom, Southwestern's star
quar- erback, plunged thru for the
winning score.
Dalcom was easily the stan of the
rane while his teammates, Rutledge
and Shumway, figured in many plays.
Dutton- for the Normals, was the big
ground gamer. The Normal gained
more yards from scrimmage, making
len first downs to Southwestern nine.
