Decorah public opinion. (Decorah, Winneshiek County [Iowa]) 1895-1928, 1919-12-10

The Council Bluffs Nonparil says;
mot one man in a hundred can be
found who will wholly Justify Presi-
dent Wilson's conduct of his end OF
this treaty making business. In the
selection of his peace commissioners
in his method of handling the treaty
making work, in his repeated af-
fronts to the senate, he was unwise,
unjust, and unnecessarily arbitrary.
This, many people who support his
draft of the treaty, admit"

Miners Would Dig Coal for Them
selves

Newton, Ia.-If the miners do
not replenish the reserve at the To-
cal mine, it will be put out of COM
mission and cannot at once be oper-
ated when the strike is broken.
They met to decide what they
would do.
They propose to dig enough coal
to keep the mine fans and pumps
provided they were allowed to take
out enough to last them, for person
al use, till the strike ends.
The operators Indignantly re-
fused
Operators asked President Tom
Graham of the local mine for a con-
ference to induce the miners to &c
back 10 work
Mr.. Graham contended that the
loca! miners could do nothing in
the absence of action by the union
in the whole state.

Bathed His Baby i'm Raisin Wine.

Bathed His Baby in Raisin Wine.
Frank Milosich of Gary, Ind. told
Judge A. B. Anderson in United
States district court that he had
made 800 gallons of raisin wine be-
cause it was necessary to bathe his
sick child each night in two gallons
of alcohol. Milosich was in court to
face a charge of having an illict
still in his home, along with a big
supply OF wine.
The judge, however, was not con-
vinced. Calculations made by Judge
Anderson and the district attorney
showed that the wine was worth $50
gallon and that, therefore, il
cost Milosich $50 day to care for
his child After fining Milosich
5000 and costs and sentencing him
to serve six months in Jail, Judge
Anderson remarked:
II suppose this is the first time in
the history of the world when man
was sent to all for taking care
or his sick child"

An Appeal to the People of Winnesheik County

by the Fuel Administration of Iowa,
We feel great deal OF fuel can be
saved.
We want the people to understand
that the fuel situation is about as
serious as it can be, and while some
of us have coal and wood for some
weeks, still there has been no coal
mined to speak of for nearly a
month. and it is just impossible even
though the mines are opened to get
very much coal during the entire
season, AMI all of us must remember
that we have at least four months
of winter from now on. Whatever
coal may come to Decorah will be
distributed first where it is abso-
lutely needed, and in small guam
titles and coal dealers are not per.
mitted to show any favoritism. III
your committee deems it necessary
to shorten the hours of the stores,
that will be done, in fact everything
will be done, no matter where it
may strike, to see that all our peo-
pie will be able to live through the
winter without freezing.
Those who have no coal or wood
in the towns through the county,
please confer with the following
committee:
o. p. Ode, Calmar
NJ. j. Klein, Ossian
f. E. Malloy, Castalia
Elmer Ringoen, Ridgeway
Frank Pouska, FIT. Atkinson
A. A. Novak, Spillville
B. j. Mckay, Decorah
Ben Bear, Decorah.
In towns where there is no COM
mittee appointed, people will confer
with the member of the committee
living nearest to them.
Ifpeople will follow the above, we
feel by united effort that a serious
fuel famine may be avoided.

The general charges against the
miners heads nlleRe that since the
Issuance OF the Injunction against
encouragement OF the strike or Ac-
tion TO limit the production OF coal,
every ofiicial has violated the inJunc-
ton by passively conscnting that
tho strike be continued and by main
tanning an attitude toward the mem
bershtp and by statements 20 ''repre-
sentatives OF The Associated Press
and newspapers that said member
ship will not go back TO work but will
remain on strike"
The attitude OF tho Cove rnment
throughout its recitAl OF evidence
against tho miners is that by merely
refraining from returning 70 work
after the strike order had been re-
scinded by the union leaders and tho
injunction had been issued, the men
are guilty OF violating the courts
mandate.
An important charge and one on
which the Government Is relying to
provo Its case. is that the officials,
when issuing their notice that the
strike order had been rescinded. |
the notice on blank |
paper and omitted from the copies an |
Imprint OF the official seal OF the
union. II is added that upon receipt |
of the notice the unions throughout |
the country took the position, and |
$50 stated in the daily press and by |
word OF mouth that the withdrawal |
and cancellation notice was defec- |
tive, invalid and without authority" |
because II did not bear this seal and |
because the signatures Of oficials
were printed and not signed by hand. |
President Lewis Is specifically cited |
In one charge with refusing 10 notify |
tho members that the withdrawal |
order was issued and communicated
In good faith and that it's purpose |
really was 10 cancel the strike. The I
charge adds that Mr.. Lewia still re- |
fuses to send out such assurance.
