NASHVILLE, Tenn, Nov. 2G.--That
Andrew l.. Todd, speaker of lie sen
&e In the last legislature, will be
speaker of the house in the coming
legislature. and that Tennessee will
break another precedent politically in
this period of precedent breaking,
seems to be a foregone conclusion. II
was pretty we'll demonstrated at the
recent caucus of the house members
that Todd had the lead in the speaker
ship contest and it IS even predicted
that by the time the caucus convenes
January his will be the only name
placed in nomination.
Todd's election as speaker Of the
house after serving as speaker of the
senate will make a new record in Ten
nessee. 1t will be the first time that
a Tennesseans7ever filed both these
Offices. From being second in success
sion to the goyernorship Todd will be
third. But the astute politician from
rutherford. and even his enemies ad
NIT that he is a politician par ex-
ceilence, is said to have his eye on
the governorship two years hence.
His friends are actively grooming him
for the democratic nomination. But
that's another story. Austin Peay and
Gen.TL. D. Tyson and others must be
taken into RECKONING. Todd has been
b political factor for over tewnty
years. He served long time as coun-
ty superintendent, then he went into
the state superintendent Office and

II. Dryer yesterday afternoon.
 The complaints of Wiley Davis, Walter chism and Will Chism, who claimed the right to be reinstated as employees blythe Pratt Consolidated Coal Company at Gamble mines was heard yesterday.
 Among the things considered was whether or not the coal companies in refusing to reinstate employees after the strike violated the Garfield agreement which has been in effect at the mines since before the United States enteyed the war; whether the mine workers were discharged when they were refused re- employment, and whether or not the statement of the Attorney General fol- lowing the injunction obtained against the United Mine Workers of America, or dering men to return to work affect the Alabama operators who were not party to any agreement of the kind.
 It was conceded by all parties that these miners left the service under the general coal miners strike, effective or November 1, 1919, and that the strike nav
