FOR WE ARE
AMERICANS"
UWE ARE AMERICANS an.
w their actions the miners prove

their actions the miners prove it.
AS Americans, they had no alternative
but to comply with the courts order. To
have de6ed it would have been anything
but American. 1t would have been moth
ing short of anarchy. And So
I'VE are Americans. We cannot fight
our government" President John L. Lewis
declared for the miners.
Perhaps, as the miners contended, the
government was not quite fair to them.
1t may be, as they assert, that mere tech
nicality was invoked against them thru
war measure. But when the authority of
the government of the United States was
asserted, real Americans would not, and
could not, challenge it. 1t resolved itself
into a question of supremacy between the
government and the union.
And the miners placed their country
before their union.
The solemn, honest, unreserved decis-
ion of the chiefs of the striking miners to
annul the strike, and to advise the miners
to return to work, is the GREATEST VIC
TORY FOR SANITY THAT EITHER
LABOR OR CAPITAL HAS SHOWN
TO DATE.
This decision came not thru fear of
Washington, fear of the courts, or alarm
over the possible success of the strike.
1t came solely because the chiefs of the
miners thought more of their nation, its
authority and its laws, than they did Of
private interest, or even the welfare of
their hundreds of thousands of men and
their families, who depended on their
Leadership and judgment.
The miners, by their attitude today,
have proven themselves worthy of public
confidence and of every official effort
that may be taken to insure their securing
a square deal.
And if the operators do not meet the
men half way, and if injustices are not
honestly righted, then, indeed, will there
be reason for the public generally to de-
mand redress as a matter of national
equity.
And, in passing, this may also be taken
to heart by some of our Seattle friends.
Public opinion is the one important factor
in strikes. Public opinion wins strikes
and defeats them. And public opinion is
generally right
The miners, in returning, have won the
biggest, indeed, the first clean victory or
ganized labor has won since the war
ended.
A victory inspired by the old sense of
patriotic loyalty to their nation, it's ideals
and the welfare of all the people, at, may
hap, a sacrifice, for the time, of their own
material good.
And victory, too, over those wild
heads - those rebellion-steeped alarmists
who would lead labor into the RoIshe.
vik wilderness, there to perish.

IGNORANCE OF
COMP ENSATI0N
LAW STATE WIDE
Pitiful Case Of Old People Los.
Ing Son and $4,000
Told by Com.
missioner.

"A particularly distressing case
came under my observation a few
days ago." said the compensation
commissioner of Nebraska, when I
learned at hearing in Springfield,
that the 1S-year-old son of Mr.. and
| Mrs. Fred Hotz Of that town was
killed in an industrial accident, and
his parents will receive no compen-
sation because they did not know
there was q compensation law and
the statute Of limitation ran against
them.
"On September rs, 1918, young
Hotz was assisting another work
man to dig q ditch for the board of
education of Springfield. The ditch
banks caved in on the two men, in
juring one and killing the other.
Neither the injured man nor the pa
rents of the boy who was killed
knew of the existence Of the conf
pensation law. The man who was
injured consulted a law firm long
after the accident and this firm pro-
ceeded on the old common law
method to collect damages. When
they finally learned that the case
was one to be adjusted under the
Nebraska compensation law, the
statute of limitation had run against
him and the attorney for the school
board stood pat.
Parents Tell Story.
ut was during the hearing Of this
case that it was learned that young
Hotz was killed. An old man, 50
years old, and a cripple, interrupted
the hearing when he asked the com
missioner if he could say = few
words. On being granted the
privilege with tears on his cheeks
he said. 1t was my boy that"was
killed in that ditch. He was l8
years old; had just finished school
and he was = good boy. never
knew nothing about this law Then
he hobbled away and soon returned
with his wife. They listened to the
hearing of the case before the COM
missioner until il was concluded.

Skies, lost the compensation he was
entitled to under the law and. also
his doctor bills, because He did not
know of the existence of the COM
pensation law. Mr.. and Mrs. Hotz
not only lost their son, but also $l2
each week for $3.50 weeks, together
with a funeral benefit of 500, or a
total of $4,000.
Must Make Claim.
ut was the most distressing case
that has come before the compensa-
ton commissioner. The great draw
back to the law Is the ignorance of
the workers as to the existence of
the law.
"The law provides that no pro-
,ceedings for compensation shall be
maintained unless claim for COM
pensation shall have been made
upon the employer within six
months after the accident. In this
case the accident happened Sep
pened September 26, 1918, and Mr..
Hotz did not learn of1the law until

But No Loot Is Taken

Burglars entered the homes of

rell, 200 Jones street, and in each
instance left without taking any

searched the basement. They were
frightened away when Mr.. Pickrell
switched on a light in the kitchen.
The burglars were attempting to
break through door leading from
