Miners STRIKE
MAY MEAN WAR
Federal Government Is Standing Pat
ON President Wilson's Ultimatum--
Still Hope That Nalkout Will Be
Postponed-May Use Troops.

Washington, Oct. 49, -Authoriza-
tion for the President to use troops in
operating the nations coal mines OF
railroads in event of strike would
be given under bill introduced by
Senator Thomas, Democrat, Colorado
The measure was referred to the mil
iittssryy iittssryy affairs committee without de-
bate.
The government is standing pat on
President Wilson's uitimatum to the
sofe coal miners of the country that
the strike ordered for November /
must not take place.
The whole federal machinery, al
ready set up for the emergency, was
ready to deal with conditions in the
mining fields unless the executive
board of the United Mine Workers Of
America, meeting at Indianapolis on
Wednesday, votes TO rescind the strike
order
In the face of statements by John L.
Lewis, acting president of the miners
organization, that 1t was too late now
to stop the walkout, there was strong
belief in official quarters that the
strike would at least be postponed
This hope of averting industrial dis
aster was based largely on the feel
ing that sentiment thruout the coun-
try was overwhelmingly for peace,
regardless of how the people might
sr;S-sh lew s.se reported grievances vi the
miners.
The fact that the miners themselves
had taken no strike vote added to the
hope in the minds Of officials that the
workers would be duly imprest by the
Presidents strong warning, and look
ing at it in new light, willing to ne
gotiate new wage agreement with
out reservation.

DRY BILL VETO
HAS SHORT LIFE
Both Branches of Congress Summar-
lily Override President Wilson's
Disapproval of Liquor Enforce
ment Measure--Prohis Angry.

Washington, Oct. 2S. Within three
hours after President Wilson had so
Unexpectedly vetoed the Prohibition
Enforcement bill. the House had re-
passed it over the executive disap-
proval by vote of 176 to So.
The Senate passed the enforcement
act over the presidents veto Tuesday,
and made Immediately effective ma
chinery for preventing sale of bever-
ages containing more than one half
of one per cent of alcohol The vote
was 65 to 20, or eight more than the
necessary two-thirds majority.
While there was wrangle over TAX
ing up the measure In place Of the
peace treaty, which had the right OF
way, there never was doubt as to how
the Senate stood. 1t was overwhelm-
mgly dry" like the House.
nc veto mt Congress iinr a vrarn
of lightning The House, getting on
its feet again, deserted its leaders
who wanted to defer consideration un.
til Thursday, so as to round up all ths
"dry" members But the "drys'
swept into the chamber and showed
there was an overwhelming setimen
among them to give the government
ample weapons for dealing with the
liquor traffic, now outlawed thruou'
the land.
Nobody really had protested te
know that the President would veto
the bill. Republicans and Democrats
alike and the countless multitude
that had sorrowfully watched the
passing Of the bars thought it would
become law without his signature
But the President, propped up ir
bed. dictated and then signed a veto
message and sent it along to Con-
gress without worrying, apparently
about what Congress might do.
With the repassage Of the law BY
the House and Senate, hope Of bis
'swet spell that would run over the
Christmas season vanished
Prohibition leaders predicted TO-
night that the refusal Of the House
to accept the Presidents veto meant
that the sale Of liquor would not be
permitted again in the life Of this and
many other generations.
One hope remains for the talked oi
"wet spell' before prohibition be-
comes effective by constitutional
amendment in January 1t is that the
German Peace treaty may be ratified
and that the President may declare
peace and rehabilitation Of the army
and navy. Some legal experts con

A STEADY COTTON MARKET.
Prices Have Ranged From SO to 80
Cents--Sales Total S45 Bales.

The cotton price on the Mena mar
ket, during the past week has run
from 36 to 80 cents per pound, tho
some of the staple, damaged by rain
or picked too wet sold as low as 25
cents pound. The high price of 80
cents was paid for staple that was
particularly fine and of good length.
The total number Of bales sold in
Mena up to Wednesday morning is
SAC, as against 1882 bales sold dur
ing the same period last year when
the price ranged from 2Sl1 to 29
cents. The month Of October has been
exceedingly unfavorable for gathering
the crop, which accounts largely for
the decrease in sales. There are many
farmers who even yet have their en-
tire crop to gather, and much Of the
staple is being damaged in the field.
More Of it will be ruined if picked
and ginned while wet.
