Pertinent Points IN Palmer's Surrender
Here are q few of the plain and fundamentally important
facts in connection with the coal controversy, strike, and settle
ment:
1 The coal miners repudiated valid wage agreements many
of which would not expire until April, 1920, and demanded q
60 per cent increase in wages, with other concessions.
: 2. The operators refused to grant the demands but offered
to arbitrate.
8. The miners refused to arbitrate and ordered a strike.
a. President Wilson denounced the strike as unjustifable
and unlawful, and called upon the miners to return to work.
s.. Attorney General Palmer brought an injunction suit up
on the allegation that the strike was unlawful, and secured q
mandatory writ ordering cancellation of the strike order.
6. The strike order was cancelled but the miners did not
return to work-which return was the chief purpose of the
writ.
z. While the miners were thus engaged in what the presi-
dent and attorney general declared to be an illegal act, the
attorney general negotiated with them concerning compliance
with the law and made terms satisfactory to them by which
their return to work was assured.
8. These terms included a concession of q material part of
the strikers demands, the. appointment of a tribunal satisfac-
tory to them to determine what additional concessions should
be made, and conveyed an implied forgiveness of the illegal
acts already committed. 81
9. Although the operators had offered to arbitrate all the
demands as made at the time of the threatened strike, the at
torney general granted part of the demands and TIM insisted
that the operators had agreed to ~arbitrate the remainder, which
they had never offered to do.
10. If the agreement of the attorney general shall stand,
the miners gain at least the concessions alreadNmade, and may
gain much more through the arbitration forced upon the oper-
ators, thus demonstrating that unjustiiable and unlawful acts
are proftable-in other words, that dishonesty is the best
policy.
IL. If the agreements of the attorney general shall stand,
the department of justice thereby establishes the policy Of ne
gotiating terms with criminals-fo the attorney general declar-I
ed the strike criminal but said he preferred to prosecute the
case in the civil courts.
r.. Success of the unjustnfable and unlawful acts of the
striking miners will be due notice to all class interests that the
way to win is to repudiate agreements and inperil the public
welfare, thereby forcing the government, through its duly au-
make agreements that may give to the lawbreakers all that
they ever expected or hoped to secure. vi.

PERCY VISITED HERE
Former Forestry Employee
Who Did His Bit in France,
at Eagle River Last Week.

Hugh Percy of the 10th Engi-
neering Corps who but lately re-
turned from France, was the
guest of former Ranger-W Warden
]. B. Cook in Eagle River last
week, and other friends who
knew him while at Trout lake.
Percy enlisted in July. 1917
from Villas county, he having a
position at that time with the
forestry department at Trout
lake, and a short time afterward
went overseas with the engi-
neers. His duties was that of
supplying tinbers for trench
building, bridges, etc., and part
of his division at times were un-
der German fire. He knows what
war was at all stages, and was
in active military training the
same as the infantryman, grab
bling his gun at times when the
reports came that the Germans
had broken through the front
lines.
His accounts of the war from
his end of the fight game is very
interesting, much depending up
on the engineering division. more
SO than the average person mag
ines.
His father W. H. Percy of Fond

Why Did Germany Quit?

When two million American
fighters were ready for the word,
when the looms and presses and
factories of America finally be-
gan turning out equipment, am
munition, arms, poisonous gases,
air-planes and ships in hereto
fore undreamed of quantities,
then and not until then did the
German nation cry ''Kamerad."
Americas tremendous show of
power in the production OF
fighters and of all fighting para
phernalia turned the scale and
suddenly brought peace to a
staggering world. The loyal cit
liens of the worlds greatest re-
public--soldiers and civilians
by their enthusiasm, energy, OPP
timism and cooperation made
Germany quit and saved to
America billions of dollars and
thousands of precious lives.
With the disease of autocracy
cured, shall we refuse to pay the
doctor and the hospital bill?
No, we are not a nation of
cutters. We must, we will pay
our nations bills and discharge
our obligations. To do this we
must eliminate waste, save and
buy stamps and bonds. This is
our very present duty. 1t will
be to our individual economic
advantage, but that isn't the
point. The point is it is our pa
triotic duty now just as much as
it was before the armistice was
signed. 1t is all part OF the
same splendid American under
taking.
We made Germany quit. Let's
finish the job.
