GOVT
READY TOFIGHT
MINEW0RKERS
International Strike Plan
Made Government
Act

BALTIMORE, Sept. 13.-The
Sun this morning prints the fol-
lowing cablegram from London:
1.-The British Government has
been forced to assume the often
BiTe in the coal mining situation
It has issued its challenge to the
miners. They must back down on
their demands or they Will pc
fought with every resource at the
Governments command"
Decision to force the issue was
arrived at following the sensational
disclosure OF Robert Smillie's at
tempt to bring about a simultane-
GUS strike of American and British
coal miners. While the govern
ment feels that SMILES proposal
for an international understanding
to be followed by joint action
would not get far with American
workmen, 1t was Just this disclos'
ure of Smillie's program that
brought the fight out into the open
and persuaded the cabinet to offer
no more conciliatory suggestions.
1.-THE strike" declared Sir Rob
ert Horne, minister Of labor, els
inevitable"
The government is ready for the
strike when 1t comes. 1t has been
preparing for months. Arrange
ments for dealing with transporta-
ton problems sure to arise, and
the movement Of household sup
plies and necessities have been
made in advance. A national re-
strictIon on the use Of food such as
sugar, meat, bacon, -four and milk
will go into effect Immediately the
strike is declared.
It is pointed out that Smillie's
tactics have reached international
scope, and that all Europe will be
affected by the miners action. Con-
sequently the government feels 1t
can temporize no longer.

I'VE ilbYe come so far out Of the
saVagery OF the pr1meVal past that
we realize that women have brains
enough to vote. This campaign will
be the most momentous in history"
was the statement mzde by Ida
Crouch Hazlet, socialist lecturer In
the county court room Saturday
night, In speaking of the part wo-
men will play In politics.
people wonder why Socialists
keep pegging away. We are the
CSlly political party depending on
education. We wish we had three
or four election In each year for 1t
is only during election time that we
get an opportunity to propagate our
views"
The speaker declared that all rev.
olutions in history were caused by
Industrial wrongs. Before the Great
war. shs said for every $40 worth
OF goods produced in the United
States only 81 was paid out for la
Dor. The IS worth of surplus pro-
duct over what the workers could
buy with their wages, had to go to
foreign markets, England, Germany,
France and the United States all
must dispose Of their surplus in
foreign countries, hence the trade
conflicts with their inevitable resort
to settlement by force Of arms.
In 1876 she said, when the Bess.
emer process of making steel was
first used it enabled Germany to use
her low grade ores. In 1912 she
was making six times as much steel
as Great Britain. Under industrial
competition, war was bound to &C.
cur.
The function Of the Socialist
movement, she said is to annlyze
conditions and find out the real
cause Of the inequality of living con.
ditions and to apply the remedy
All unjust conditions can be rene

1t behooves women especially to
study Of the science OF politics in
order to vote intelligently.
In speaking Of the presence OF
Debs in prison, Mrs. HaZlett likened
the Democratic party to the Diaz re-
gime, which kept their political en-.
emies out OF office for more than
twenty years by the simple expe,
diem Of keeping them In jail.

Lake Situation
A good supply OF cars at the
mines indicates that the coal load.
ing will be heavy this week at the
lake front. The railroads had 1920
cars at the lake frant Friday morn.
ing and 1903 cars In transit. The
docks dumped $3.50 cars Thursday
and receipts were 2,516 cara. Load
ing for Saturday was estimated at
$40 cars and with a full supply
of tonnage lined up for today good
clean up will be made for the end
Of the week.
Treated Them Rough.
According to certain Morgan
town team crackers the Pennsyl-
vania delegation OF wagon mine
owners handed 1t out rough to the
Interstate Commerce commission
at the hearing in Washington, d.
c., last week. They did not mince
words according to all accounts
and were outspoken against the
supply to go to tipple mines entire
ly and shutting of the supply to
wagoners.
Claimed Car Shortage.
According to reports from the
Connellsville coke section last
week the car supply was of color.
The productions slumped $4,000
tons. The prevailing prices were:
Furnace coke, $17.25 to Sits;
foundry coke, $3.50 to $19.

car supply was most ideal.
Although there were but five
working days last week the mines
along the Monongah division OF
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
loaded 6.025 cars of coal and coke
-925,800 tons of coal and 100
cars OF coke. This is the best pro-
duction on the division for five
weeks. Last weeks production,
however, was Ell cars Of coal and
coke less than the second week OF
September, 1919, which also in
cluded the Labor Day observance,
the coal being 345 cars short, but
the coke last week was "A cars
heavier than the corresponding
week of September, 1919. During
the week there were 4,110 loads
of coal loaded east and LIS cars
loaded west. OF the coke produc-
ton, which continues to be run
ming steady, there were 55 cars
east and 81 west, the business in
those directions being about an
even break.
Operations along the Mononga-
ehla railway in West Virginia last
week loaded 1868 cars of coal.
Mines in the Pennsylvania district
last week loaded 1857 cars. Those
in the keystone state worked an
extra day, Labor Day, which was
observed as a holiday in tho West

Along the Helen's Run and Wy
