STRIKE AT MERRILL STEVENS.

JACKSONVILLE, Oct. S0-The
question, shal an operating engineer
of an electrical worker man the lone
electrical crane in the big ship-build-
ing yards of the Merrill-Stevens Com
pany, South Jacksonville? is the
bone of contention that has resulted
in the laying off of 1900 men, and
the stoppage Of a weekly payroll of
$4,000. In a word, 1900 working
men in this city, and South Jackson
vile are idle, and have been since
Friday night, when the engineers
struck simply because of a dispute in
the ranks of two locals employed at
these giant yards, over the position
of a single man.

.EARMAN USES NO

.LEPER CONFERENCE
TALKS RIGHT OUT AND MIXES
POLITICS. BUT MAKES INTER
Es1ING STORY OF FLORIDA
DELEGATIONS VISIT TO
WARRINGTON

In Yesterdays issue of the Palm
Beach Post, President Joe Earman of
the State Board Of Health, who is al
so President of the Post Publishing
Company, wrote his impressions of
the recent hearing in Washington be-
fore Surgeon General Blue in protest
over the location of a proposed lep-
rosarium, in the State.
Mr.. Earman wrote the report in a
personal vein, injecting his own
views and opinions, but it was to the
point, if not altogether logical After
naming the personnel of the confer
ence he gave the details of the con-
ference, in part, as follows:
"Hon T. R. Hodges, former Shell
Fish Commissioner of Florida came
very near SPILLING THE BEANS.
He exhibited anger and the fact was
THEN brought out that his brother,
W. R, Hodges, fish and oyster dealer
at Cedar Key, and ONE OTHER in
dividual, owned TWO-THIRDS of
Cedar Key. His talk also developed
that he.ssWas financially interested in
Cedar Key and that he had recently
built home there, which he stated
would not be of value if the lepro-
sarium were established on the three
keys.
"He also stated that these keys
were within three miles of Cedar
Key, and from his personal know
ledge, Notwithstanding the Govern
ment Typographical survey, that at
low tide the depth of water between
Cedar Key and these three keys or
small islands would not exceed five
feet, and the average man could
wade ashore.
"He further stated that he was
born and raised at Cedar Key and
knew more about the waters in that
section than any other living man.
He referred to Doctor j. W. Turner,
United States Public Health Quar-
antine Officer at Cedar Key, and who
is at this time State Senator in the
Florida Senate from Levy county, as
- Df oOlOee11 rrni+,,Ia
"This charge was resented by Sur
geon-General Blue, also by others in
the conference. DR.. Turner was tif-
teen hundred miles away and had no
opportunity to resent or defend him
self.
Further than this Senator Tram
nell and Representative Frank Clark
told Mr.. Hodges in a private conver-
sation preceding the conference to
keep his temper sweet, which he did
not do.
Several members of the Florida
delegation, including myself, were
favorable to excluding him from fur
ther participation in this confer
ence.
GAS information for the Surgeon
General there AMT going to be
any blood Split.
Hon J. Azakiah Williams, Shell
Fish Commissioner of Florida, READ
his speech.
Azakiah is SMART all right, but
no one wants to hear a prepared
speech read.
ALL PREACHERS WILL PLEASE
TAKE A TIP.
l saw that Surgeon General Blue
had his thoughts FAR OFF while
Azakiah was reading, and therefore
suggested that he read the last rrge,
which was HIS PERORATION, and
file his speech with the Surgeon-Gen-
cral, who would PROBABLY read it
at his leisure.
Senators Fletcher and Trammell
endorsed the protest of their delega-
ton and departed for the Senate,
which convened at twelve o'clock
Congressman Frank Clark re-
mained at this conference while in

NOTTINGHAM AVERTSTRIKE
FRIDAY SAY LABOR HEADS
MINERS MAKE ANSWER TO
PRESIDENTS STATEMENT

States, for an increase in wages
sufficient to meet the increase in the
cost of the necessaries of life. Their
appeal was rejected and their request
refused. Notwithstanding this they
continued mining coal until now their
contract expires, when they are deter
mined that their grievances must be
adjusted in a reasonably satisfactory
manner.
"The courts have held that the
workmen have a right to strike and
may quit work either singly or collec-
lively for the purpose of redressing
grievances and righting wrongs. The
constitution and guarantees of this
free government give men the right
to work or quit work individually or
collectively.
Palatka daily news. [volume] (Palatka, Fla.) 1919-1994, 1919-10-30
"Are But Exercising Right"

"The mine workers therefore are
but exercising the right guaranteed
by the constitution and which canlFe&
be taken away by the representatives
CT government when they quit work
or when they refuse to work until
their grievances are adjusted. The
mine workers representatives are
ready, willing and anxious to meet
the coal operators for the purpose Of
negotiating an agreement and bring
ing about settlement of the present
unhappy situation. They will hes
pond at any time to call for such a
meeting and will honestly endeavor to
work out wage agreement upon a
fair and equitable basis, which agree
nient alone will put The mines in op-
GRAFTON and guarantee the nation an
adequate supply of coal. We assert
that the mine workers have no other
purpose IN VleW-other than to Sc
cure a working wage agreement. All
Of their demands are incorporated in
the wage proposals sumitted to the
coal operators, and each and all are
subject to negotiation.
Conscious of the grave response
bility resting upon the representa-
tIves of the coal miners we have no
other alternative than to carry out
the instructions of the United Mine
Workers convention. The issue has
been made, and if it must be settled
upon the field of industrial battle, the
responsibility rests fairly and square
~ upon the coal barons alone"

RACE PROGRAM
VERY ATTRACTIVE

The Iowa State Fair management
has never announced q more attractive
program, one that promises better
sport for lovers of harness and run
ming races, than the one to be contest.
ed at the coming fair, August 20-29. II
includes thirty7one race events, eight.
cen for harness racers, twelve for run
ners and one for free-for-all trottera
under saddle.
The purses offered are liberal from
the horseman's point Of view. Further
more they will be contested under the
Added Money Plan which will be tried
out for the first time in Iowa this year.
Under its provisions all entrance
money, subsequent payments and start
ing fees-all of which have in the past
gone into the treasury-will be added
to the purse offered and the entire
amount divided among the winning
horses.
1t means vastly more clear money
for the men who train and race the
horses, in other words the men who
furnish the sport. And as they race
for the money, not for health and
glory, the more alluring the prospect
for financial remuneration the better
the class of horses they will enter and
the harder they will race. All Of
which means good sport for the spec
tators.
