Washington, Oct. 27.-The Presi-
dent of the United States and mem
bers of his cabinet pronounced the
proposed strike of bituminous coal
miners scheduled for Nov l crime
against the government and people of
The United States.
They brand the strike both morally
and legally wrong and declare in Il
statement to the public that the law
will he enforced, and means be found
to protect the interests of the nation in
any emergency that may arise out of
this unhappy business.
In plain, vigorous language the
President announces that the strike
cannot be permitted under the laws of
the government for protection of so
clety. The government, lie says, will
use every means within It's power to
prevent the strike and keep the mines
operated.
The decision means that unless the
miners call off the strike they and
their officers will be prosecuted for Il
high crime against the government.
1t means, also, that the government
will not hesitate 10 keep the mines
operating, even If it may be necessary
for the government to operate them
and TO protect them with its strong
military arm.
But the President hopes that it will
not be necessary to prosecute the min
ers and appeals to their officers and
10 the miners us individuals at once
10 recall all strike orders, announc-
ing that he stands ready to see that
their differences with the operators
are fairly adjusted by arbitration.
''It is time for plain speaking" the
President declares, asserting that in
this crisis he gives no thought to the
merits of the miners demands. Their
claims and interests can be taken up
later. 1t is the paramount interest of
the whole American people that must
be secured first.
The pronounciamentO, issued after
the cabinet had held two sessions and
conferred with President Wilson in his
sick room through DIR. GraysOn and
Secretary Tumulty, struck with tre-
mendous force on the minds of public
officials, members of Congress and Of
ficials of the United Mine Workers
and the Coal Operators Association.

DOES NOT LIKE THE SUGGESTION.

Editor Every Evening" was much
surprised and dIsgusted by an article ap-
pearing in a recent issue of your paper
regarding the possibility Of an American
girl being chosen by the Prince of Wales
as hls wife and future Queen Of England
The statement that the present King
and Queen Of England would 40 doubt
look with favor on any American girl
who was not Il Roman Catholic" is in
deed cnhghtcning But YOU neglected 10
make II PLAIN I hat she must bc wealthy.
should like 10 know the reason for this
discrimination. When England Implorcd
the nited States 70 send troops 10 her
assistance, she did not specify hat Roman
Catholics were ineligible OF undesirable,
and likewise, when she attempted to force
conscription in Ireland, She had no evi-
dent intention Of cXempting Roman
Catholics Furthermore, ] do not believe
there Is any document on record to show
that the Roman Catholics Of Great Brit
ain have done less in the war inst ended
10 uphold the honor and integrity of the
royal crown than the men of different
religious beliefs.
However, the position Of future Queen
Of England is one which cannot possibly
interest any true spirited loyal American
pirl regardless Of denomlnatlonal af-
fljations. a. kings and queens in this
age OF enlightened democracy are nc
better than the common people, who after
I'm. are the real rulers Of the Kingdoms q

shaft. Although the company has not
yet done so, they can manufacture all
of the tools needed, and possess the
necessary equipment and machinery
to accomplish this work. A tool-mak-
ing department will be inaugurated at
an early date.
The gigantic freighters of 5000 tons
which are being built by the Pensa-
cola Shipbuilding Company for the
government at cost of 81, 500, 900 each
are nearing completion rapidly. All
of the material for these ships is on
the ground and material for additional
ships is in abundance.
The record for shipbuilding con-
struction is claimed by this company
for all of the ,shipyards in the gulf
and south Atlantic states. The av-
erage tonnage erection for the past
sixty days has been over two hundred
tons per day, beating their own sched-
ule which is made up for 80 tons per
day by III tons. Within sixty days
after the keel is laid the great ships
leave the ways at this plant, and the
finishing, outfitting and rigging be-
gins. In from sixty to ninety days
more the ship is a finished product
and is ready to be put into trade. )
Three thousand persons are en-
ployed by this enormous industry and
200 of them are Immediately engaged
in ship construction. There are fifty
five gangs of riveters who each av-
eraged 4S.S rivets per hour during the
month of September. One gang in
136 hours drove 9670 rivets. or an av-
erage of so rivets per hour. This gang
claims to have established record
for the gulf and South Atlantic ship
yards.
Captain Paul p. Stewart, the gem
eral manager of the company, and
Frank Crenshaw, assistant general
manager have built up wonderful
organization in their plont, both from a
standpoint of production and the gen.
eral welfare of the employees. Many
conveniences have been installed for
the workers such as locker rooms,
bath houses and restaurants. The well
fare department is in personal touch
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1919-10-12

with each worker and very often it
extends aid to the employees individ-
ually and as a whole. This department
receives and considers suggestions and
complaints from the workers of the
plant and through it's efforts straight
ems out the tangles which of neces-
sity arise in an industry of it's size.
The company has its own police and
fire departments and every precau-
ton is taken for the safety of the en-
ployes and the plant.
The Rivet,'' the weekly newspaper
of the company, is edited by OrvilIe
F. Salisbury, and is published in the
interest of the shipworkers. The pa
per is a creditable sheet and has done
much to improve and steady the
morale at the yard
The Cushnoc. which is now in this
port loading a cargo for England, and
the Escambia, which is nearly ready
for dock trial. are both splendid ves-
sells and are a credit to the plant which
turned them out. They compare in
every respect with the West Har-
grave and Newburgh, two vessels which
recently left this port, which were built
at yards on the Pacific coast Captain
Stewart insists that the Pensacola
Shipbuilding Company is building as
big freighters as any other yard in
the country and is building them as
good as the best.

With the largest yards on the gulf

structed and are permanent. The to-
tai cost of construction of the plant
amounted to over one and a half mill
lion dollars.
There are six miles of railways in
the yard proper and the company owns
five locomotive cranes and two loco
motives. The seven departments of
carpentry, machinery, fabricating, gal
vanizing. rigging, painting and piping
are capable of taking the raw mater
ial and turning out a finished ship
without going to the outside for aid
Of any kind. The power and water
used by the company are furnished
by it's own plants.
The machinery is the most modern
and efficient of any plant on the gulf.
All of the stern and bow fabricating
work is accomplished in the fabricat-
ing shop and the plate work can be
done also. The riyets used at the plant
are made by a Matchmaking machine
which at the present time is turning
out six tons per day, and the bolt
making machine produces two and one
half tons of bolts during the eight
hour shift. All of the rudder gear
is made at the plant. including the
