PRESIDENT HANDS A
HOT ONE TO MINERS
WHO VIOLATE WORD

President Wilson handles striking
mine workers without gloves in a mes
sage sent to John L. Lewis, president
of the United Mine Workers Of Amer
lea, last night, demanding an end of
the coal tieup in Indiana and Illinois.
The president condemns the mine
workers for violating the solemn OBJ
legations" imposed by their contract,
and insists that they return to work
a 8 a condition for the calling OF con-
ference Of the joint wage committee
President Wilson's message in full is
as follows:
Message Arraiens Miners.
"It Is with a feeling of profound re-
gret and sorrow that l have learned
that many Of the members Of your or
ganization. particularly in the state Of
Illinois, have engaged in a strike in
violation of the terms OF the award
Of the bituminous coal commission
and your agreement with the govern
ment that the findings Of the commits
sion would be accepted by you as final
and binding.
II am distressed not only because
your action in refusing to mine coal
upon the terms which you had accept
ed may result in great suffering in
many households during the coming
winter and interfere with the continu-
alton Of industrial and agricultural &C
tivity, which is the basis of the pros
perity which you in common with the
balance of our people have been en-
joying, but also, and what is Of far
more Importance, because the viola
ton of the terms of your solemn obi
cation tmpairs your good name, de-
stroys the confidence which is the
basis of all mutual agreement and
threatens the very foundation of fair
industrial relations.
NO government, no employer, no
person having any reputation to pro-
tect can afford to enter into contrac-
tual relation with any organization
which Systematically or repeatedly
violates it's contracts.
Setting Dangerous Precedent
''The United Mine Workers of Amer
lea is the largest single labor organi-
cation in the United States, if not in
the world, but no organization can
long endure that sets up it's own
strength as being superior to its plight.
ed faith or its duty to society at large.
ut has in the past built up an en-
viable reputation for abiding by it's
contracts, which has been one of it's
most valuable assets in making wage
agreements. 1t may now make tenn
porary gains by taking advantage of
the dire necessities of the balance of
the people, through the violation of
these contracts, but what Of the future ?
How can it expect wage contracts
with the employers to be continued, in
the face Of such violations, when nor
NAL conditions have been restored and
the country is free from the immedi-
ate shortage of coal?
How will it be able to resist the
claims of the operators in the future
to take advantage of the precedent
which the miners have established,
and decrease wage rates in the middle
of a wage contract under the plea that
they are unable to sell the coal at the

then existing cost Of production?
Are Hurting Themselves.
"A mere statement of these ques-
tons ought to be sufficient to awaken
the mine workers to the dangerous
course they are pursuing and the IN
juries they are inflicting upon them
selves and the country at large by the
adoption Of these unwarranted strike
policies.
"In the consideration Of the nation
wide wage scale involving many diff
ferent classes Of labor by the bitumin-
GUS coal commission in the limited
time at its disposal some inequalities
may have developed in the award that
ought to be corrected. l cannot, how
ever, recommend any consideration OF
such inequalities as long as the mine
workers continue to strike in violation
of the terms of the award which they
had accepted as their wage agreement
for definite length of time.
II must therefore insist that the
striking mine workers return to work,
thereby demonstrating their good
faith in keeping their contract. When
l have learned that they have thus re-
turned to work I will invite in the
scale committee Of the operators and
miners for the purpose of adjusting
any such inequalities as they may mu.
tually agree should be adjusted"

How to Wear Medal, Is
Worry Source to Soldiers

Wayne county men who have re-
ceived the new army Victory medals
are puzzled how to wear them. A
large bronze medal with bright rib
bon doesn't look very well on civilian
suit, they feel.
Most of the Yanks recognize the
greatest satisfaction they will get out
Of the medals is in their possession,
and yet they realize the medal is in
tended to be worn at certain times.
Old timers in the regular army, who
usually are qualified to pass on such
delicate questions, say they don't
know what former soldiers should do.
GOOD taste should govern always
in such matters, and good taste ls
based on good sense" they say.
The consensus OF opinion is that the
medal should be worn by civilian
only when wearing his uniform at spe-
cial functions, as provided by war de-
partment regulations. At other times,
it is suggested, he should wear the
bronze or silver Victory button.

HENRY COUNTY MEN
PLEASED WITH BULLS

The Jersey breeders of Henry
county organized a bull association.
through the cooperation of the county
agent and dairy extension men from
Purdue university in December, 1917.
and purchased four pure-bred Jersey
bulls for use in the herds of the 81
members Of the association. The
young bull calves purchased at that
time are today almost three years old
and have already sired many good,
typey calves.
Their bulls were purchased on a CO.
operative plan whereby about five or
six farmers owning 40 or moro COWS
made unit or block for the use of one
bull The average cost of each Jer-
sey bull in 1917 was about $160. The
standard of animals bought is far
above that normally bought by the
average individual owner Of bull.
The average investment per cow after
forming the bull association was $685.,
while the average investment to each
farmer in the association was $24.61.
These amounts give him in return
eight years service Of excellent Jersey
bulls.
Some of the heifer calves are now
yearlings and older and to avoid in
breeding the interchange Of bulls
from one block to another takes place
every two years. The first inter
change of bulls in the Henry county
association is to be made this Sep
TENDER.
The future Of the Jersey breeders of
Henry county Is Frightening. The
heifers sired by the association bulls
will replace the poorer COWS in their
herds Occasional pure-bred females
are being bought to replace grade
COWS. The new crop of better bred
heifer calves is pleasing not alone to
their owners, but is attracting the in
terest of the neighbors who would not
enter the association when 1t was or
ganized A Jersey breeders associa-
ton is being planned in Henry county
and interest in a cow-testing associa-
ton is developing rapidly.
The Henry county bull association
was the first organization Of it's kind
in Indiana, but six other dairy COM
munities in different parts Of the
state have already united their efforts
for purchasing good bulls on the as
ISOLATION plan.

SECOND BOND ISSUE
ELECTION FOR PAVING
TOBE HELD IN ABBEVILLE

Another bond issue election to IS
sue bonds, not exceeding 100000, to
finish paving the streets Of Able
vile, is practically assured. Mayor
Mars has been CIRCULATING a petition
among the free-holders of the city
during the past few days and on
Monday had almost enough signers
to call the election. 410 signers are
required. Only few persons out of
a total of nearly four hundred ap-
preached refused to sign.
1t is thought that this second issue
will pave all the streets of the city
that present conditions require. The
streets to be paved, if the bond cleo
tion carries, will be determined as be-
fore by petitions circulated on the
various streets, two-thirds of the
freeholders being required to sign
before street will be paved.

HONEA PATH GIN
AND LINTERS BURN

Honea Path, March 27.-The gin
at the Honea Path Oil mill was COM
pletely destroyed by fire yesterday
afternoon and $50 bales of linters
burned. The fire, it is said, was start
ed by hot box on a shaft line at the
mill, the gin catching on fire and
burning rapidly. The oil mill itself
was saved by the use of two streams
of water secured from the town
water system.
The cotton oil mill and ginnerv
was owned by Mr.. C. E. Harper, and
the $50 bales of linters owned by the
government, and stored on the gin
lot. Insurance to the extent of S.
900 partly covers the loss on the gin,
the exact valuation of which is not
known.
The value of the cotton linters is
not determined.

NAVAL OFFICERS
GIVE TESTIMONY

Washington, Mrch 26.-Two naval
officers, Rear Admiral C. P. Plunkett
and Capt. ]. K. Taussig, testified to.
day before the senate investigating
committee that for two years prior to
the entrance of the United States into
the war secretary Daniels steadfastly
refuse to approve an increase in per-
sonnel and the navy department gen.
orally attempted to suppress reports
of man power shortage. During the
war both Admiral Plunkett and Cap
tain Tussig served with the Atlantic
fleet destroyer force the former az
commander.
Admiral Plunkett declared he
"argued with Secretary Daniels on the
personnel question for two years
without making an impression" Cap.
tain Tussig said the navy depart
ment's attitude regarding personnel
was zone of unpreparedness rather
than preparedness. The recommends
tion of Admiral Dewey as head of the
general board for a large increase in
enlisted strength was turned down
said Captain Tussig.
Asked regarding the condition of
the fleet in April 1917, Admiral Plum
kett said the ships in commission
were in as good condition as could be
expected, but shortage of men and
constant changes in gun crews had
greatly interefred with gunnery eff
cheney and ships which should have
been in full commission.

WILL KNOW TODAY
RECOUNT DECISION

Washington, March 26.-The United
States census bureau will probably
look over Columbia again and see if
few thousand of inhabitants were
not inadvertently left out of the re-
cent count the result of which was
announced few days ago. There are
undoubtedly more than 1854 per-
sons in Columbia now and that city's
wide awake chamber of commerce
president, J. D. Mot is on his job.
He has asked Congressman Mann to
look into this matter without delay
and see what may be done in order
that the correct number of persons
may be credited to the city of Column
bia. He insists in his communica-
tions to Mr.. Mann, that a bad error
has been made in the count and re-
quests that steps be taken to rectify
this.
Mr.. Mann will give the matter his
close attention and if there is any op-
portunity to have Columbia make a
better showing he will do so.
The population of two South Caro-
lima cities, Orangeburg and Sumter
will be announced tomorrow.
Congressman Byrens left for Au-
gusta today. Tomorrow nigl,,t he will
address travelling men in that city.

HOUSE
LEADER READY WITH
PEACE RESOLUTION

Washington, March 26.-Republi-
can huse leaders, in their efforts to
have congress speedily declare peace
between the United States and Ger
many, had completed today a tenta-
tive peace resolution, which they
believe will be constitutional and ef-
fective.
Present plans which have been
approved by Senator Lodge and 9TH
er senate leaders, are to ask action
on it in the house next week. Repre-
sentative. Porter, of Pennsylvania,
chairman of the foreign affairs COM
mittee, stated he expects to intro
duce the resolution Saturday or
Monday, although some changes may
be made in the meantime.
Assurances have been given by
Democratic Leader Kitchin that he
believes the majority of the house
Democrats will support a straightout
peace resolution, which would not
affect the status quo of the peace
treaty situation. Some Democrats
are very anxious to obtain the
attitude of the president on the peace
resolution. and are considering the
sending of an emissary to the White
House for that purpose. Republicans
are virtually solid for action on an
effective peace resolution.
As outlined by Republican Leader
Mondell today, the tentative resolu-
ton declares the state of war pro-
claimed in the resolution of April 6,
1917, has ceased to exist, Just as the
war resolution proclaimed a state cf
war existed. Such action, Mr.. Mon
dell said, is constitutional and would
be effective beyond doubt. If the
president refused to sign, an over
riding of the vote would make it eff
fective he asid. Other constitutional
experts disagree with this, however.
The declaration of peace is the
first part of the resolution. The Sec
ond part provides a pivoted date for
the ending of all war legislation.
This probably would be the date of
final approval of the resolution. The
third part of the resolution declares
Germany must accept the terms of
the Versailles peace treaty.
