CLOSED SHOP IS
HOTLY SCORED
BYPO|NDEXTER

PIERRE S. D., March Ex-senator
Miles POindexter of Washington, an
Independent candidate in South Dako-.
ia for the republican presidential in
dorsement at the state primary on
Tuesday, dwelt upon labor issues and
problems in opening his debate here
tonight with General Leonard Wood.
Senator Poindexter said, in part:
"The two most vital questions
now before the country are nation
al Independence and industrial in
dependence. One is menaced by
internationaIism and the other by
the closed shop
tInternationaliSn proposes that the
control of all international affairs
shall be vested in a league Of nations.
1t would substitute the principle of
internationalism for the. principle of
nationality. and the kaiser proposed
to establish centralized government
for the whole world.
Now Surrender Rights We Fought For
Having won the war, the president
would surrender that for which it was
fought and establish that for which
the kaiser fought. We went into the
war in self-defense. for the protection
of American rights Having won the
war. it is treason to the American
people to surrender the very rights
which it was waged to protect.
"The closed shop means closed
opportunity. VI me- ans personc1 .
and indzStrial servitude both for
labor and capital and for the pub
lie. The right to work and the
right to own property are among
the inaiienabIe rights of man and
are so designated in all the great
charters of liberty. No govern
rent can endure which does not
give these rights.
sStrikes intended to enforce eco
nomic demands by stopping industry
and cutting off from the people their
supplies of the necessities of life mean
rule by force instead Of by law
protect People From Strikes
Men have right to quit work sim
gly or collectively: but they have not
the right to conspire to starve the peo-
pie. The government must act to pun
ish such strikes. Economic independ-
ence can only exist when man is free
to work or to quit work, whether he
belongs to union or not
"The crying need of the hour is to
the American govern
ment-
"LittIe attention has been paid
recently by the chief executive to
American needs; to land reclama-
tion, to land settlement for SOL
diers, to a national system OF wag-
on roads; the wedding out OF ex-
travagance and inefficiency in the
executive department. National
Independence should be reasserted,
the union with Europe should be
wholly rejected and peace, SO long
delayed, should be declared at
once"

LONDON, March 90 - Premier
Lloyd George yesterday discussed the
Turkish question with the Indian Cali
phate delegation headed by Mohamed
Ali, who declared that Turkey should
have all her pre-war territory re-
stored The premier replied:

AMERICA FIRST
IN EVERYTHING
IS WOOD s PLEA
(By The Associated Press

PIERRE. S. D., March 20.-Major
General Leonard Wood in. his joint
debate here tonight with Senator Miles
Poindexter, of Washington, outlined
his views on "Americanism' the para
mount issue Of the republican cam
paign in South Dakota. The issue vas
approved by the republican state con-
vention held here December .. at which
time the convention endorsed General
Wood as its choice for the republican
nomination for president.
General Wood said in part:
"The platform of Americanism is
America first, first through justice and
fair dealings; government under the
constitution with each department
functioning within its own limits; no
autocracw Of wealth; no autocracy of
labor, but real democracy for both;
no class domination or iegisIaton; an
untrammeIed and fearless judiciary;
courts free from any taint of political
influence or control.
AN intense spirit of national soli-
darity is needed, avoiding loose fibred
fnternationalism as we would death,
for it means national DEATH
The Generals Outline
Other points outlined by General
Wood included:
A strong but not quarrelsome for
eign policy: tolerant, seeking peace,
but protecting the interests of Ameri-
cans wherever they are residing.
"A sound public school system; an
adequate wage for our teaching force.
"a careful regulation of immiqra-
ton with a view of keeping out un-
desirable and dangerous element; un-
qualified endorsement Of woman's suf-
frsse as something which will purify
and strengthen American politics
rigid economy in the adn1inistra-
tion of national affairs, a budget sys-
tenn.
Industrial justice. with a square
deaf for both labor and capital.
Concentration of effort along the
lines of increased production as a rem
edy for the high cost of living.
LESS Talk-More Work"
National and individual thrift hab-
its. less talk and more work
"a small but highly efficient reg
ular army
Development and protection of
American agriculture as vital to the
property and stability of the nation.
IApproval of the league of nations

'ions which thoroughly Americanize it
ana leave America absolutely free and
to follow the only man.
date she will ever accept-the mandate

The establishment of conditions
which will permit thrifty men and

phenated Americans; one language In

that the language of the declaration

All these in combination made for

No man should be compelled to

Touching upon his attitude toward
the league of nations, the general de-
clared:
My letter to Senator Borah leaves
America free and untrammeled to ac-

COAL PROSECUTIONS
MAY BRING TROUBLE
OPERATOR DECLARES

Possibility of another tie up of the
nations bituminous coal industry, be-
ginning April 1. was declared to exist
as a result of the governments prose-
cution of operators and miners Tor
alleged violation of the Level fuel con-
troll act. in q statement issued tonight
bv T.. D. Logsdon of Indianapolis. Mr..
Iogsdon is one of the five coal oper-
ators arrested today by federal offic-
ials, and one of 125 men. operators and
miners. indicted by a federal grand
jury here for alleged conspiracy to en-
hance the price of coal.
Mr.. Logsdon's statement declared,
that according to information received
by the operators, the government is
proceeding on the hypothesis that joint
wage conferences are and have been
illegal and that this theory forms the
sis for q part, at least of the charges
against the coal men. If this is true,
he said. il is probable that conferences
to estab blish a new wage scale effective
April L. will be postponed until after
that date and possibly Indefinitely, and
that miners will refuse to work after
April l when the present contract ex-
pires, unless a new scale is agreed
upon.
Continuing. the statement asserts
that the governments action is incon-
sistent with n statement given out by
President Wilson yesterday when he
urged operators and miners to get to-
gether under the majority report of
the commission which investigated the
coal situation. The president, in this
statement. in effect gave sanction to
the idea of collective bargaining in
the coal industry. Mr. Logsdon said.
Federal officials tonight asserted that
they had authorized no statement as
to the theory on which the govern
ment is proceeding in it's prosecution
of the miners and operators and de-
clared they would not divulge the
charges against those indicted until
all of them have been arrested
