CHICAGO, Jan. 25.-Dr. II. A. Gar
field, former Fuel Admin strator, in an
article written for "Farm and Home"
declares the compromise that ended
the coal strike to be 'unsound in prin-
clple and menace to our institutions. :"
DR.. Garfield says:
The wages now paid to mine work
ers are sufficient. The opportunity
that should be the mine workers can
not be secured merely by an increase
in wages"
In proof DR.. Garfield cites the aver
age Of $3.50 per annum earned by the
lowest paid miners working 1SO days
in the year, while for 200 days work
the average miner in the bitumlnous
field of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana
and Illinois earned 81 $50 in 1918 and
l,3O0 last year. This, says the article,
is more by cons siderable sum than
the average net receipts of the farmer
and many others who may or may not
work 800 days or more in the year"
"The public ought not to be asked to
pay more for COAL emphasizes the cx-
Fuel Administrator. at is impossible
to increase the wage of the mine wv1a
ers without melting the workers IN
every other industry, including, of
course, agriculture. to demand an in
crease in wages. This would send the
cost Of living upward in vicious
spiral, which will in the end prove
hurtful to the workingman. The pur-
chasing power OF the dollar and not
the number Of dollars received is the
important factor
"The public is the chief sufferer
when capital and labor engaged in the
production of commodities necessary
to the support of life fall sighting.''
continued Dr.. Garfield. "In "a, Sc cases
certainly the interest of the public is
vital and, therefore, paramount. We
may admit the right to strike on the
part OF labor, and the right Of capital
TO boycott, but in each case the right
of the public 10 live is paramount and
Will be asserted
We now are called upon TO con
template an arrangement with a group
opposing the government which. how
ever 1t terminates, is unsound in prin-
clpie and a menace TO our institutions"
TO guard against affairs reaching
the strike stage, Dr.. Garfield urges a
permanent fuel administration as a
consultive and advisory tribunal.

MI Their Bridges on the
Hope of Tcutonic Victory

CONSTANTINOPLE, Jan. 20 (By The
Associated Press s).-Further details of
Turkish severance of diplomatic rela-
tons with the United States arc dis
closed by the published proceedings of
the secret parliamentary committee
Investigating the Turkish wartime
Ministers.
According to this evidence. the Amer
lean Ambassador on April t, 1917, in
formed the Turkish Finance Minister
that the State Department at Washing
ton saw no cause for a break as rela-
tions We're friendly. The ambassador
said that no cause for a break existed
unless Germany compelled Turkey to
forward secret reports bearing on the
United States.
Germany at first Preferred that Tur-
key should not break with America,
according to the ambassador, but later
suddenly changed her attitude.
On April I the Austrian Ambassador
informed the Sublime Porte that Austria
Was breaking relations with the United
states and insisted upon Immediate
action by Turkey. Most of the mem
bers of the Cabinet were afraid Of
oGrning all their bridges on the hone
OF Germany victory.
ne Germans made the uretcxt that
military Intelligence leaked throurn
N"c AMERICAN embassy, but the real
reason Tor urging the break was said
to be the desire to Diminish, Turkrv.s
opportunities for a future separate
peace.
Turkey. through the Turkish Am
bassador at Berlin. notified Herr Zin
msrmann, the German Foreign secre-
tary, that Turkey was unable to break
relations with the United States, rit-
ING only military reasons. The Ger
man minister was not satisfied. and re-
pled that America would not declare
war if Turkey broke off relations. Ger
many insisted and Turkev complied
eventually, after DELAYING the matter
iol a tlme by demanding that Bulgaria
act first.
These secret reports show that the
Cabinet successfully resisted the CO.
man demand for the seizure of al,
American institutions after the depart-
urc Of the American Ambassador.

The discovery of the liquor may have

hopeful of harvesting their crops.
For the last week or so, it is stated,
the hired hands have been on a spree.
Instead of milking cows, they played

moving the hay, they slept in the shade

Things reached such a state that
Deputy Sheriffs Stanley Gingell and
