The reading of the statement Of the
on the coal strike, at the request of
Senator La Toilette, precipitated de-
bate in the Senate today in which Sena-
tor Myers of Montana declared himself
in favor of finish fight to ascertain
whether law and the courts or the labor
union control theecountry.
II would rather freeze to death than
see the government recede from the
position it has taken in this coal strike"
said Senator Myers. II believe the
country is fronting the most serious
time since 81 The passage of the
Adamson law. at the time of the threat
ened railroad strike. 1 think is the
hope that mistake will not be repeated.
Wants Issue Decided.
Fam in favor Of having this issue
decided now. without any compro-
mise. Delay will only postpone the
evil day. There is nothing In the
Statement of the executive council of
the American Federation of Labor
which would in any way Justify any
body of citizens defying the laws and
the courts
Senator La Toilette asked for the
reading of the statement. in which the
American Federation Of Labor aligns
itself with the strikingl coal miners
Immediately after the Senate met.
After the reading had proceeded for
some time and the buzz of conversa-
tion in the chamber indicated that
little attention was being paid to 1t,
Senator La Toilette arose and in in
dignation. requested that the reading
a continued Sinca
were paying no attention to it. Sena-
tor Norris of Nebraska, however, in
sisted that the reading continue.
At its conclusion Senator Owen of
he had received from the geological
survey showing that the coal miners
are not employed throughout the
year. but are laid off many days.
Senator Owen suggested that the op-
orators did not permit the miners to
work full time, because if they did
larger production of coal would force
the prices down.
Blames Lack of Cars.
Senator Cummins of Iowa said that
while he was one of those that did
not believe the miners receive suffi-
that the reason the miners were laid
on was due to the failure of the rail-
road administration to furnish suffi-
cient coal cars and Discrimination of
the people to buy coal at certain
times of the year. Senator owen re-
torted that the Discrimination of the
people was due to the high price of
coal To this Senator Cummins re-
piled that the prices had been fixed
by Fuel Administrator Garfield, and
he admitted that he had marveled at
these high prices.
Senator Owen said that he had pre-
sented the letters from the geologi-
cal survey so that the Senate might
have information regarding the sit
uation. and expressed the hope that
something might be done by Congress
to meet the serious situation con-
fronting the country.
Held More Important Than Treaty.
Senator Cummins said he would be
glad to see the time which is being
wasted in consideration of the Ger
man treaty used to discuss these i'm
portant domestic problems.
II agree with the senator from
Iowa" said Senator Owen. Il think
we are fiiddling while Rome is burn

BY n. o. MESSENGER.

1t is held in administration quar-
ters here that the threatened in
dustrial controversy has ceased to
be a contest between labor and
capital and is now a test of author
ity as between labor and the gov
ernment of the United States.
TT is now question of the
said one high official today. He is
believed to voice the opinion gen.
orally held in administrative cir
cIes.
The three constitutional branches
of the government have held the
coal miners strike to be illegal.
The President of the United
States. with the unanimous ap-
proval of his cabinet, so declared
in formal and official announce
ment.
The Congress of the United States.
through a resolution adopted by
formal vote-the House unanf-
mouSly and the Senate with but
six dissenting votes-approved the
action Of the executive branch and
pledged the support of Congress to
all legal measures.
The federal court has, after hear
ing in which labor was given it's
day in court, sustained the position
taken by the executive and declar-
ed the strike to be illegal.
In Complete Agreement.
Thus the legislative. judicial and
executive branches of the govern
ment, the three coordinate govern
ing powers set up by the Constitution
of the United States for the people of
this country, have functioned and
have agreed in entirety. The repre-
sentatives of the people-that is to
say. the Congress wsich makes the
laws. the judicial branch which con-
strues the laws and the executive
branch. sworn to execute the laws
are in accord upon this particular
question.
Now comes the American Fedora
tion Of Labor to declare: by all
the facts in the case, the miners.

Position of Workers.

The administration at Washington.
it can be stated by authority, has
no intention of abating it's position
and will support the federal court
if called upon. From today on, it is
said. all interest will center in the
action taken by the rank and file of
labor as to the attitude assumed by
the heads Of the American Fedora
tion, of Labor. together with drift of
public sentiment in support Of either
the strikers or the government.
1t is thought here that public senti-
ment, outside of organized labor,
will be affected by the outburst Of
anarchistic utterances by the reds"
which has come just at time to
call attention to their activities.
While no fair-minded man will as
sociate the criminal theories of the
reds with the aims of organized
labor. it is said that the people will
hardly fail to take note of the fact
that the reds" are ready instantly
to seize upon any widespread indus
trial agitation to forward their
vicious ends for the destruction of
government and society and will en-
deavor to ''tail-on" to nationwide
strikes If they should be called.

branches that the facts in the case
do not justify the strike.
The statement was made today.

WONDERFUL TIRE MILEAGE
RECORDS JUSTIFY BIG
MONEY SAVING GUARANTEE

The Gillette Rubber CO., of Eau
Claire, Wis, manufacturers of pneu-
matte and solid truck tires produced
with the famous Gillette Chilled Rub
Der Process have just made radical
mileage increase in their already lib
eral guarantees.
Their mileage guarantee adjust
ment on Gillette Fabric Tires has
been raised from $500 TO 5000 miles
5000 miles on crods and 10000 miles
on truck tires.
These guarantees are positive as
surance of the mileage Gillette Tire
users will get-and get without a
particle of trouble. Because they are
based on the actual service already
rendered by thousands of Gillettes.
The Gillette Rubber Co. is a conser-
vative organization. No promises are
made unless absolutely certain they
can be fulfilled to the final letter.
This increased mileage pledge means
deliverance of greater mileage and a
substantial reduction in tire costs and
repair costs.
The popularity of Gillette Tires is
growing wit hamazing rapidity. The
reliability of the manufacturer-the
splendid performance of the tires have
made the Gillette brand the first
choice and only choice of thousands
of the most discriminating automobile
and truck owners.

A bill has been introduced into Con-
gress to prevent the president of the
United States from going abroad dur
ing his term of Office. A very plea
yunish bill, and evidently intended as
a slur on President Wilson. The pres
ident of France goes abroad. The pres
ident of Brazil has just visited the
United States on his way home from
Paris. The kings, queens and nine
spots of other nations go abroad
whenever they see fit. Why should this
nation, supposed to be the freest in
the world, hang ball and chain to
its chief executive?

Acting under the order of Gov.
Cats, Sheriff Bowling of Duval took
possession of the state board of health
office in Jacksonville Wednesday, and
formally installed therein Maj. Ralph
N Green as state health officer. Joe
Earman, the new president of the
board of health, says that the board
is definitely out of politics, and Maj.
Green is a man of very high stand
ing among the physicians of the state.
We don't know what DIR. Cox will do.
He will probably act for the best for
himself and for the state if he lets
the matter drop. His experience
should be another warning to those
who believing they are in the good
graces of Cats champion the cause of
that selfish and uncertain politician.

TRIBUNE RETURNS TO
THE RIGHT TRACK

After wandering around in the scrub
and cowpaths of Cattocracy for more
than three years. the Tampa Tribune
has returned to the right track and
can once more be counted among the
safe and sane papers of the state. In
its issue of the 10th. it gave Gov.
Cats a good and well-deserved roast,
and Judging by the tone of the article
the man who wrote it had been stor-
ing up fuel for some time.
We have never been able to under
stand what malign influence caused
the Tribune to support Cats. We
knew very well that the men who
managed and edited that paper were
too sensible and high-principled to
endorse the policies and utterances of
Florida's chief magistrate. However,
it supported him as a candidate, and
had he given the state halfway good
administration we have no doubt that
it would have continued to support
him as governor. For more than a
year we have noted that its attempts
to uphold him was an irksome and
disagreeable task. Toward it, Cats
has shown his customary ingratitude.
It too faithfully reported his acts and
his utterances in its news columns
and consequently received some of his
characteristic denunciations.
We congratulate the Tribune on its
return to the right track. 1t helped to
saddle a great incubus on the state,
but it may be forgiven if it does its
best to prevent Florida from being
misrepresented in the United States
Senate.

A NEAR POET

Editor Star: I didn't know that

What you had to say in regard to

Who went away with Company GA"
Nearly two years ago today,
And fought so brave and faithfully
In France and Germany.
Of course we are awfully glad to see
That he is back in his home county.

You could have made this rhyme,
And brought upon yourself name
That would have entitled you to fame.
So never "miss" another chance
To make rhyme on the boys from

But accept in fun this jest
From one who reads "Ocala's Best"
