 Senator Harding came cut square ly for "scrapping' the league of na- tions, declaring that it aa5 proved Ut. te1ly impotent as preventative of war, and incorporating any If it's merits in a court of international justice. "The court should be ani- mated by right and justlce instead of mght," the nominee declared.
 The league of nations and inter national peace were the exclusive top ics treated in Senator Harding's speech today, wh cn vas prepared af- ter many conferences with Republi- can leaders. In his audience today was a delegation ot Minnesota Re pubic
 AS stated by Senator Harding, the socalled Root plan" will be advanc- ed by the party as it's substitute for the league. Under the terms of the Chicago platform, which declared sup port of an association of nations, ,' support of the new scheme will not be deviation from this stand.
 A more complete statement of the new Republican plank, or interpre- tatlon of the first one, is expected to be made soon after the return of Eliuh Root from the Hague. Mr. Root is member of the jurists' ad- vlsory committee of the league of nations, which has prepared the plan of the international tribunal. Under it's scope, the present court of ar bitral justice will be supplemented by a permanent court of international justice, both to sit at the Hague The court of international justice would be composed of II judges and four alternates, who will serHe for ninie years.

THE ATTITUDE OF
 THE OPERATORS
With Respect to the Striking Miners Who Are Seeking Their Old Places
 Clearly Stated

As striking miners in large numbers are seeking their old jobs. statement as to the attitude of the operators is permissi ble.
 The operators have never felt any i'll will for the mass of the strikers. They know these men were honest and well meaning. and that they had been misled. They were certain. however, the men would recognize that the 'olce of their leaders was "the voice of Jacobs but the hands of Esau''
 That time has. now arrived and the operators are SHing back as many of the old men can be placed.
 In every Ming camp. however. as in every induNriai organization, there IS always small group of malcon- tents. These are usually shiftless and inefficient. loud takers and feeble workers. Men of this class. of course, are not entitled to the consideration given to those who conscientiously de- sire to make an honest living for themselves and their families.

The Coal Market

Increased production indicates some improvement in the market. Prices quoted last week are unchanged as fol- lows:
 Pratt mine run, so25 to s5
 Big Seam mine run s295 to Si.
 dagger mine run. s4 to s4.75.
 Black Creek mine run. s5 to s6.5o,
 The market will probably stabilize somewhere around these figures.
 Coal in the best state of preparation is in the strongest demand. Buyers are now in position to select. and this em : pbasizes the importance of operators giving close attention to the prepara- ton of their product.

THE TWO STRIKES DUE TO SAME CAUSE
In West Virginia, as in Ala. bama, the Outside Agita- tors Started the Trou- ble. Other Features Common to Both
 Struggles

The strike of the miners in the West its history and development to that in the Alabama fields.
 There was no dispute as to wages and working conditions. That is the repor, the strikers admit this.
 The strike was the outcome of an at tempt by the United Mine Workers of America to unionize the district-that is prosperous workers into dues assets for the United Mine Workers of America The trouble began when the agtators got busy, just as it did in the Alabama field.
 Disorder and bloodshed followed. Troops were called in and a semblance of quie- tude followed. The troops were with drawn and dynamiting and other forms of terrorism broke out The governor called for federal aid and the district is now practically under martial law, with soldiers of the army to enforce it. The officer in command has forbidden meet ings of all kinds, except those held in regular organized churches. His regula tions are more drastic than those o. [ General Steiner, who has been vilified for simply discharging his duty.
 At this writing quiet prevails in the ! West Virginia field. but the presence of troops is the only guaranty of peace.
 The West Virginia operators, like those of Alabama. are determined never to deal with the United Mine Workers in any way
 And public sentiment says they are right.

 EFFORT OF FARMERS

 The farmers of the country are de- manding attention. In the south cotton has decreased in price until it pro- duces less than it's cost. In the west the wheat growers and livestock pro- ducers are similarly afflicted In each case they hold the government to blame. or insist that if the governme nj is not actually to blame, it should

Good for You, Mobile!

Alabama operators contributed to the fund for the purchase of the site for the great coal terminal at Mobile, and the publc-spirited business men of Mobile subscribed the amount expected from ths city. The moral effect of their action upon the community is almost incalcu- lable, to say nothing of the substantial results which will accrue to the port.
