tion due II. Now at least 1t will be en-
rolled in the honor lst of the Ameri-

written in imperishabe stone in the
memorial building.

COAL SITUATION
GARFIELD TELLS DISPUTANTS
PUBLIC MUST AND WILL
HAVE FUEL.

Washington, Nov. 19.-Prospects of
a coal famine drew nearer tonight with
negotiations between. operators and
miners apparently at standstill.
A subcommittee Of the joint wage
scale committees was in session three
hours, but it was said after the meet
ing that only the general situation was
discussed and that the operators did not
submit counter proposals to the miners
demands. The conference will continue
tomorrow.
"No progress was made. The oper-
ators submitted no proposals. We are
still in a receptive mood,' said John l..
Lewis, acting president of the United
Mine Workers.
Decision of the joint wage scale con-
ference to continue it's negotiations
through smaller group in accordance
with the usual custom IN making the
wage agreements, came after the own
ers and workers had heard from Fuel
Administrator Garfield that as long as
the government stands "the people of
the United States needs must have and
will have coal and they will not be pre-
vented by anything the operators and
miners may do.'

CHECK PROPAGANDA
POLICE RELIEVE PIKE CREEK
FARMER OF REVOLUTIONARY
LITERATURE.

An attempt to circulate Communist
Labor literature in this city was frus-
trated by the police department Satur-
day. The attention Of Mayor Berg
helm was called to the fact. and Patrol
man Boyce was instructed to take the
papers from the man and he set out to
find him. He located the man and
learned that he was Bror Akerson, a
resident of this county. The papers
were promptly taken from him.
The paper which Akerson was distri-
buting was called the Communist La
Dor Party News, official organization
organ Of the Communist Labor Party,
published in Cleveland, Ohio.
In the papers which Akerson circulat-
ed were printed the platform and pro-
gram Of the party, all very radical. In
its platform the party declares itself in
full harmony with the. revolutionary
working class parties Of all countries.
1t declares that the time for parleying
and compromise has passed and that
now it is only the question whether all
power remains in the hands Of the cap
italist or is taken by the working class
AS a pan of its program the party
states that it shall make the great
industrial battles its major campaigns,
to show the value of the strike as a
political weapon. The first purpose OF
the party is to create unified revolu-
tionary working class movement in
America. 1t states further that "Not
one of the great teachers of scientific
Socialism has ever said it is possible
to achieve the Social Revolution by the
ballot" The party emblem is the
hammer and, the sickle.
Mr.. Akerson was not arrested this
time but was given to understand that
another effort to circulate "red' liter
ature here would be more seriously dealt
with.
