ABOUT GRUNBIERS.
I hear men whimper an complain
b the way the world liz run.
On sunny days they sigh for rain
An when it rains they want the
sun.
IL we were runnin' things they say.
"rhere'd be much less O. grief an
wrong.
We'd keep the clouds O. care away,
An life would be. one round. O.
song"
Yet In the homes where they abide
: AS lords an masters day, by. day. !,
The women folks are sorely tried.
The children are not always gays;
The grounds are often bleak an,
bare;
The roses struggling by the fence
Don't seem to show the tender care
of notable intelligence.
I've eve found a grumbier vet
whose dealings with hiss fellow
Were free from error or regret,
Or SHAPED to any faultless plan.
Within HIS territory small
Anton the ground he dailysmakes.
Where he is lord an boss of all
! notice that he makes mistaken
so when I hear such men complain
About the way the Hand Divine
orders the sunshine an the rain
An regulates each tree an vine,
/ look around an'stry to see
The kind O. work that he has@dono
An, I'm as glad as 1 can be
y He doesn't have the world to run

But. tho strike being over. ana that phase OF the
emergency being past, 1t remains to deal with fhe, thinss
which result IN such acts. and to deal with them wisely
and effectively. In 50 far as 1t appears that the strike
was the work Of agttators who have made 1t their business
to prey on the unskilled and untutored. the real remedy
lies in the incubation OF the spirit of American Citizen
ship. Here a real work Of education is necessary. But
there are concrete faets which need INTELLIGENT attention.
Are miners wages adequate: Are their hours too long,
Complaints on these points have been made. what is their
basis? It is our business to find out and, IL a REMEDY 10
needed, to devise Z remedy. ~
1t has been stated on behalf Of the miners that mines
are operated for short periods only because Of the desire
of the mine owners to restrict output and maintain high
prices. Some Of the mine owners admit that their mines
have operated irreSuiary.- but say that this is due to their
inability to get cars. What are the facts as to this7 II
there 10 q shortage of cars Is this due to causea which the
railroad administration can overcome?
Northwestern railroads cannot now load coal cars at
the head Of the lakes and ship them west fast enough to
keep their territory. properly supplied with fuel. That
condition is due in part to the strike of dock workers at
Duluth which prevented the unloading Of coal carsoes
lily. coal would have been going westward ia trainloads
when not a pound was moving. why did the dockmen
strike? Was it out Of pure malice, or were there condi-
lions which should be and could be amended?
Questions Of this sort could be propounded by> the
column. and the answers would not be forthcoming. But
the fact is that there are many things affecting the labor
situation which are in the immediate need Of calm, ear
pest and intelligent treatment, the sort Of treatment which
is SO difficult to reach, but without which the root Of all
the trouble will still remain. &

several very earnest men to keep together the three

THE ONE THING POSSIBLE

In aeetdtRg to obey the order Of the court and issule
instructions approved by the court calling off the coal
strike, the officers OF the United Mine Workers took the
one course possible for them. Either they must pursue
that course or declare themselves IN rebellion against the
government Of the United States.
The attempts which were made to tenporize ware
paitry and contemplate. The strike officials set up the
plea that they could not call the strike off because in is
suing the orders putting into effect they were merely
carrying out the instructions of another body, which was
really q delegate body representative Of the miners; and
that orders for a discontinuance of the strike must come
from that or a similar body. To this the reply made by
Attorney General; Palmer in his statement to the press is
sufficient and couclusiye. He said:
Those wAs coacsiys that the resolutions of . con-
venston or the orders of the officers Of any orsanlEa-s
ton in this country. whether labor organization or
any other, are Superior in authority TO the law Of the
land Will find themselves mistaken. &
* Feeling discretion to be the better part of v.lor, tho
strike leaders decided not to Spress to a CONCLUSION the test
which they had proposed. They chose to waive the Tor
mslities which they had raised. to prepare the recall order

 Both proposals, submitted formal ly in writing, went over without dis cussion until Monday, the senate ad- journed tonight until Monday with out reaching vote on any of the pending amendments.
 Confidence of acceptance by all republicans of his plan to dispose of the treaty November 12 was express ed tonight by Senator oLdge.

MEMORIAL PARK
 FUND PASSES
 S10,000 MARK
Prospects for Success Brighter Than Ever-Pythians Give
 $5O.OO.

Workers seeking to provide Pine Bluff with public recreation park as a memorial to the men and womer of the county who served the nation | during the war are nearing their
 $25,000 goal and with prospects for
 success brighter than at any time since the movement was inaugural ed.
 At a meeting of IS of the canvas. sers at the Chamber of Commerce assembly hall yesterday afternoon partial reports from the canvassine committees showed pledges aggre- gating $9,180. Subscriptions re- ported to Chas. w. Holmes, president of the Rotary club and of the park trustees, later in the day, sent the subscriptions about $10,O00.
 Imperial Juliet Lodge, No. .106, K of P., at the meeting last night voted contribution of $50 to the park fund, and it is understood that Shrin- CTS will contribute $1O0. The expec- tation is that branches here of other fraternities will also make contribu- tions. The Elks and Eagles made gifts to the fund sevearl months ago
 A list of prospective contributors read at the meeting yesterday and assigned to different canvassers in dicates that pledges will reach the $25, ,000 goal in few days, with proper effort upon the part of the canvassers. Many of those who have not yet been called upon are recognized as among the most pub lic-spirited citizens, and generous contributors to relief and welfare work. With these subscriptions and the pledges to be obtained from the general public it is anticipated that the goal will be reached.
 Workers were urged to persist in their efforts today. Monday and Tuesday forenoon. Reports will be called for at the meeting of the Ro- tarv club Tuesday at noon.
 "I am confident that the goal will be attained by Tuesday if our forces will get busy," said MT. Holmes last night. q know from what I have
 heard that the people are willing to give-some of them have been ex- pecting calls for several days. It is simply matter of our fellows calling for these subscriptions" Those at the conference yesterday afternoon were Chas. w. Holmes, Leo M. Andrews. Dr. J. I. Norris, Judge w. T. Woodbridge. w. w. Fay Tor, w. N. Trulock. H. I. Holderness, c. H. Harrison, Felix G. Smart, R. Thurman Louthan. G. A. Edelsvard, E. B. Bloom, Fred Vinine, Fred Der big, Geo. w. List, Jules Borreson and A. c. Whidden.

395,600 MINERS ARE OUT, CLAIM
 UNION LEADERS
Real Test in Strike is Expected to Come on Next
 Monday.

Chicago, Oct. 31.-Bituminou coal fields of the nation tonight were in the grip of a strike, effective at midnight, which leaders of the union miners declared already had seen more than 377.50O of their members out of the works. to remain out until the strike should be settled. Thous- ands more of the miners, whose whole number is roughly placed at 500.0O0, would be out tomorrow, they said. The men already on strike, the leaders reported, were those who had left the mines today, taking their tools with them. Reports from the soft coal fields were incomplete to- night and even the union leaders agreed they would await tomorrow before being able definitely to know the number of men who had obeyed the strike call. But in almost every instance, the miners spokesmen as- serted that the tie-up of the mines would be virtually complete, although the unions will leave a sufficient number of men in the mines to man the pumps and keep the property in shape for resumption of work when the strike shall be ended. Some un- ion leaders refused to talk, on ac- count of the restraining order issued at Indianapolis.
 Reports to the union leaders to- night indicated that the bulk of the miners in the great producing regions of Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky. Colo rado. Kansas. Montana and Wyom- ing had left the mines at the close of the day shift to remain on strike.
 Monday Test Day.
 But with the strike officially start ing at midnight, tomorrow being virtually a holiday in coal mining, and Sunday day of non- production, it was generally conceded that not be- fore Monday would the actual eff feet of the strike be known definite ly. By that time union leaders will have nearly complete reports from union locals, and the coal operators will know to what extent they will be able to operate if they should de- eide to attempt actual mining work.
 The following table by states of men who left the mines today and to- night to obey the strike call is based on reports, in most instances esti- mated received by union leaders thru out the country.
 Arkansas 4,00O; Colorado, 5000; Illinois, 8o,00o; Indiana, 25,oo0; Iowa 14,OO0: Kansas 12.000; Kentucky 2O,- GOO; Maryland 1900; Michigan D. 400; Missouri 1000; Montana, 4,OOO; New Mexico 4,0OO; North Dakota IT, 900; Ohio 10000: Oklahoma 5000; Pennsylvania 100000; Tennessee D. 900; Utah 1000; Washington 5000: West Virginia 10000; Wyoming s. 900: Texas 2,50O.
 While no reports were available from Alabama, Texas and Virginia union leaders said there were num- bers of men on strike and thousands would be out toorrow in the southern fields.
 What tomorrow's reports would show, the union chiefs said, they were unable to predict, except that the strike would be of so vast an ex- tent as to paralyze production of bituminous coal.

Guard to Mobilize.

Oklahoma City. Oct. 31.-An or der for the mobilization of the Okla homa national guard, issued early to- night, was the only new development in this states attitude toward the strike of bituminous coal miners, which goes into effect at midnight tonight
 Entrainment of the Oklahoma guardsmen will begin about o'clock tomorrow morning and guard officers estimate that territory around every mine in the state will be patrolled by troops, who will see that all miners desiring to remain at work despite the strike order have protection.
 In issuing the order for the guard mobilization tonight Governor Rob- ertson intimated that the various units would not be used to operate mines, but will merely give protec- tion.
 The troops, numbering about 2,OOO men, will be under command of Ad- jutant General Barrett and will be apportioned among the three big coal fields of the state, McAlester, Henry etta and Coalgate.

TROOPS ARE ON - ----- ---
 Huntington, ". Va, Oct. 31.-Four hundred soldiers arrived here from Camp Taylor, Kentucky, at 6 p. m. for strike duty in the West Virginia coal fields. The men were not per mitted to leave the cars and it was said that their disposition would not be known until the remainder of the battalion, now on the way, was here.
 The second troop train and sup ply train arrived here at 7:25 o'clock. Major Charles L. Coulter, intelli- gence officer, said the troops would remain in Huntington pending fur ther orders from Major General Leonard Wood, commanding the cen tral department. The men, it was stated, would remain in the cars un- til such orders had been received.
 Later it was officially announced that Col. w. H. Harrel, command ing the battalion, would proceed at once to Charleston, where headquar- ters would be established. He was to be accompanied by the machine gun company, while one company of infantry was to be sent to Beckley, and another to Clothier. Beckley is an important mining center in the mountains of Raleigh county. Cloth fer is in Boone county on Coal riv- CT.
