 ARRIVAL OF AMES
Union Officials Will Not Permit Rough Tactics--President is Criticised by the Executive Board.

Indianapolis, Ind, Oct. 30.-After dlspatching to Washington a telegram to Secretary of Labor Wilson, in which the presidents position on the coal strike was characterized as that of an usurper, the executive board of the United Mine Workers of America today turned to routine business. AL though the actual strike was less than 36 hours away, the governing body of the union devoted the afternoon to ad- jujsting disputes between locals and individual members and at the end of their session said there was nothing of public interest" in the proceedings.
 Union headquarters were frankly interested in the arrival here tomor- row of c. B. Ames, assistant to the attorney general, in charge of suits brought under the antitrust and fuel and food control laws. The union leaders learned with apparent equa- nimity that there had been unusual activity among local agents of the Department of Justice and professed faith that their every act had been under warrant of constitutional rights which no statute could abrogate.
 At the office of the United States district attorney there was no an- nouncement as to what proceedings might be instituted in regard to the strike.
 The union officials said that mine owners and public could rest assured that no act of the organization would be allowed to work physical damage to the coal diggings. They pointed out that the strike order provided that local unions must allow sufficient men to remain at work to insure the proper care and protection of all min ing properties in conformity with the provisions of the district agreements in the several fields"
 Building fences against charges that the demand for six-hour work ing day was calculated to reduce pro- duction, the statisticians of the union assembled figures which they said proved that even the country's peak production of 685, 100000 tons of bitu- minous coal in 1918 was not the limit of the industry. They said this was dug with the mines averaging only about 70 per cent of capacity and with the skilled working force reduced by 8O,O0O miners in the army and navy. Out of possible 312 working days in the year they said Western Pennsyl- vania miners averaged 260, Indiana 249, Illinois 228 and Ohio PA. The bulk of bituminous tonnage came from those states.
 Against this record they set figures for 1919 which they said showed that the mines had operated at not to ex- ceed 50 per cent of the time. Despite this reduction in time, they said, the 1919 production of the country up to Oct. IS was 379, 100000 tons, only 103, 100000 tons less than in the same period of 1918. They estimated that the mine workers will nto average
  more than 180 working days in 1919 and claimed that full working force working steadily throughout the year can produce SO0,000,O00 tons if need be. They said the estimated needs of the country for 1920 were 55O,OO0,O00 tons.

posed by Judge Divelbiss. During
the campaign Lyon said the Judge
made a speech attacking him per
sonally. and that 1t might have
been considered sufficient provoca-
ton 70 shoot a man" The News,
a staunch supporter of the circuit
judge. printed smarting editorial
attacks on Lyon, for which the edi
tor OF the Conservator is said TO have
held Judge Divelbiss responsible.
Career Caused Terror.
Judge Divelbiss attracted wide
attention during his career Of Is
years as a lawyer, probate judge,
circuit judge and candidate for con-
gress. His career on the bench
caused terror 10 tax dodgers and
liquor law violators.
When railroad dining cars were
alleged TO be selling liquor in dry
counties in the Seventh district,
Judge Divelbiss took the matter be-
fore a grand jury and declared the
companies were bootleggers. He
held that the railroads have no
more right to sell liquor in their
dining cars than a bootlegger in the
brush at a county picnic" He
stopped it.
In 1914 Judge Divelbiss took UP
the campaign against tax dodgers.
When the first grand jury went into
session over this matter, his friends
told him he wouldn't have a sup
porter left if he persisted.
Indicts Citizens
Il didn't know perjury was as
common as that" he replied. That
grand jury, after deliberation with
out action, was discharged and an
accountant set TO work. Later a
grand jury indicted fifteen promi-
nent citizens including two OF the
nrst jury. Afterward fifty citizens
OF Ray. Carroll and Clay counties
were indicted for tax lodging. and
in cases Of conviction were fined 5000
each and made to correct their tax
returns AS a result of the cam
paign, more than FIVE million dollars
was added To the assessment lists
OF Carroll, Clay and Ray counties.
Judge Divelbiss was born in Ray
county in 1870. He was graduate
of the University Of Missouri After
practicing law thirteen years, he
Joined the Methodist church at
revival Two years later he resigned
as probate judge and entered the
Methodist ministry, but returned &c
the practice of law after only six
months in the ministry. In 1896 he
was elected prosecuting attorney of
Ray county and served two terms.

DRESS AND CONDUCT.
Theory That What Ono xAeaS Affects
Ones Behavior.

It is said that old cinema films are
used to make "stiffenings" for the toe
caps Of boots and shoes. The state
ment led Londoner to voice his per-
turbation in his favorite newspaper.
Suppose a piece of a Charlie Chaplin
forms part Of my boot, can be sure
that 1t will not suddenly speak out into
the Charlie Chaplin shuttle In the
Strand? And If I am suddenly moved
20 trip up policeman, can success
fully plead in court that the cherry in
fluence Of the little bit Of alm led me
astray?"
This recalls {. story wri..en some
years age by F. E. Chase in which a
man purchased at a secondhand shop
a frock coat once worn by a preacher
and a pair Of trousers that had be-
longed to a dead-game sport. When
he wore the coat with another pair Of
tro&sers he was an example to the
young and fit to be chairman Of
philanthropic committees; he was even
mentioned as an oversser at Harvard.
When he wore the trousers with an
other coat, his conduct was reprehen-
sible, shocking. He was led willy-nilly
into drunkeries, into all vile resorts
When he donned coat and trousers to-
gether there was fearful struggle,
only equalled by that Of the justly cele-
brated Hercules when, youth, he was
solicited by Pleasure and Virtue in the
guise Of two appropriately garbed wo-
men.-Philip Hale in Boston Herald.

the dickens did you do and why die

the dickens did you 90 ana why oi'
you do it?"
We were taken to military police
headquarters and locked up. For two
DAYS we were kept behind the bars
our trucks standing idle and the con-
signees of the goods going hungry fol
aught we knew because Of lack OF
supplies.
Rumors flew thick and fast among
us after a time. 1t was said that O
French girl had been assaulted some
where down the road and that the au-
thorities had positive information that
some member Of our convoy was
guilty.
It was said that a store had been
robbed of goods valued at some thou
sands of francs and that 1t was a lead
pipe cinch some member of our party
had committed the crime. We were
being held pending the arrival Of him
who had been despoiled.
The thing grew tiresome after few
hours. We had nothing to read, very
little to smoke-not even q deck OF
cards with which to play Black Jack
Try as we might, we could get no in
formation about our case. We would
know in due time, the M. P.'s said.
Two days passed and on the third
we were taken before the authorities.
A French woman living some fifty
miles or so back had wired the M. z.
forces that a member Of an American
convoy going up the line had pulled a
paling off of her fence and done other
damage. She could identify the man
and wanted him arrested. The next
convoy arriving in the M. p. head
quarters town, she said, would include
the guilty man.
We were the next convoy and were
promptly arrested and jugged, as
have said.
The French woman was notified that
we were under arrest and directed to
come on to town, give us the once
over and identify the guilty man who
would be dealt with by court martial.
Two days we had waited her coming
and on the third she wired the au-
thorities that she had withdrawn her
complaint since she did not believe the
matter would justify the expense in
volved. We were told to go on our
way and we proceeded about as mad
a bunch of soldiers as you could i'm
agine.
No one was able to ascertain then
whether any member of our party
was really guilty of the offense or not.
After we got to our destination 1t
got out. The fellow who had the
trouble with the woman, choosing a
time when our anger cooled, said:
"Well lads, am sorry was the man
who caused all Of us that little two
day jug vacation. l had a spat with
an old dame down the road a piece
and I now recall that I did pull pal
ing off of her fence. Sorry it happen
ed," and then he told us the story as
have told 1t here.
We took it in good humor.
1t was a good thing for him though,
that he did not say anything about 1t
along about the afternoon Of the Sec
ond day we were in the jug.

Most Paving in the Piedmont-
More paved streets will be found in
the Piedmont section Of the two
Carolinas than in any other section of
the south, in my opinion" declared
Bruce Redmond, of the Gulf Paving
Company, of Chattanooga, Tenn, who
was in Charlotte yesterday. Mr.. Red
mond is in charge Of the paving work
at York, S. c., where the city authori-
ties are spending s15O.000 on street
paving, all of asphalt.
This section is the most closely
paved of any section in the south"
Mr.. Redmond continued. "By that,
mean that surrounding Charlotte, for
instance there are more small towns
and cities with well paved streets
than any other section of the south,
visited all Of them.
"One thing this will do" the Chat
tanoogan continued, lit will make
series of highways more easily con-
structed than could be constructed in
any other portion of the south. When
a commission, or an engineer, starts
to lay out a highway, and finds that
he goes through two or three good
towns and small cities, with several
miles of splendid paving straight on
his proposed highway route, he finds
that the cost of building a certain
number of miles of road is consider
ably reduced by reason Of these miles
that require no paving.
while l am Tennessean, l do not
hesitate to say that the Piedmont sec
tion Of the two Carolinas is the most
progressive section, from a viewpoint
of municipal improvements, to be
found in the south. Towns of 5000
and 1000 people do not hesitate to
build paved streets at cost of from
$4,000 to s250,OOO, and do it as
matter of everyday routine.
Take York, for instance. York is,
comparatively speaking, a small town,
but in reality it is small city, for
everything there is done on city plans
and specifications. York is spending
right now s15O,OOO for additional
streets, all paved with asphalt on a
concrete base. These streets will put
York in a class with any town it's size
in the country, when it comes to
streets.
Il have been greatly impressed with
the amount Of paving / have found
in all the towns of the Piedmont sec
tion," Mr.. Redmond said in conclu-
sion, land I reiterate that it is the
best paved section of the entire
south. Observer, Tuesday.
