You Cant Fool the People of
 Alabama
 Alabama Coal Operators are attempting to fool the honest people of this state. They would have the public believe the United Mine Work CTS of America is an organization of outlaws and unreliables.
 The United Mine Workers of America are nothing of the kind, and the Alabama operators know it. THE UNITED MINE WORKERS OF AMERICA ARE READY TO MATCH THEIR RECORD AS GOOD, LOYAL PATRIOTIC, LAW-ABIDING CITIZENS WITH THE REC ORD OF THE ALABAMA COAL OPERATORS ANY DAY INTHE WEEK
 The United Mine Workers of America are doing the best they know how to improve the condition of the buled, intmidated hard-work- ing coal miners of Alabama. The Alabama coal operators hire thugs and gunmen who turn themselves loose on the poor miners and their helpless families. That is one difference be- tween the two.
 The United Mine Workers of America are not profiteers. What about the Alabama coal oper- ators?
 And when it comes to the great world war, what do the records show? Who made the sacri- flee for civilization?
 Seventy thousand members of the United Mine Workers laid down the tools of peace and entered the military service of the United States They marched to the front true-blue Americans Seven- ty thousand of them did their part to win the Think of it-seventy thousand members of one v single labor union.
 Over three thousand of them lost their lives in the Over three thousand patriotic members of the 1. United Mine Workers of America made the preme sacrifice that civilization might not be de- stroyed And were braver than the splendid coal miners who went from Alabama.
 The Alabama coal operators are challenged to match that magnificent record. WHERE WERE THE COAL OPERATORS ALL OF THAT TIME?
 The fact is the Alabama coal operators never made as much money in their lives as they did while 10000 members of the United Mine Work

LEGION FLAYS
OPPOSITION To
LUNG HOSPITALS
Mercenary Meddlers Are
Object of Attack
of Commander.

Washington, Dec. Accommodation OF
agitation in localities against the loca-
tion of hospitals for ex-service men, par
ticularly tuberculosis sanitariums, was
made here Saturday by the American
legion's national legislative committee.
The legion from ''the national command
er on down TO the lowest husky private
in the ranks is going to bat against mer-
eenery meddlers whose patriotism died
when the bands quit playing" the state
ment said.
"In Boise. Idaho. is hospital of at
least 200 beds which the public health
service has leased" it continued,
Powerful local influences in Boise object
to the treatment of tuberculosis there and
prefer a remount station instead. Things
have some to q pretty pass when horses
are to be taken care of in preference to
disabled American soldiers.
Petty politicians in Johnson City,
Tenn, raised heaven and earth to pre-
vent the government opening the ma
tional soldiers home for ex-service men
suffering with tuberculosis. Up IN
Minneapolis. Minnesota, mercenary med
dlers whose patriotism died when the
bands quit playing, have raised S1OOOOf
to keep the United States public service
from getting Asbury hospital for ex-
service men. All of the lsealth service
have admitted to us that one Of the
things they have been up against in
getting hospitals is the political pressure
brought to bear against them in local
communities.
The committee said that it had heev
advised that 450 tubercular ex-service
men in Tucson. Ariz., were destitute and
without shelter.

London, Dec 4.-The newspapers of

of an early truce between the Sim Fein
and the government. Reports that the

the head of the labor commission inresti-

that the Catholic church intends taking

been linked with Premier Lloyd Georges
speech at the CostitutionaI club Satur-
day evening.
While Mr. Lloyd George firmly re-
iterated the necessity of suppressing
murder and revolution in Ireland. his
speech contained a section which the
press generally interprets much as does
the Pail Mall Gazette, which heads the
address: 1.-THE Premier Lights the Path"
Premier Lloyd Georges main points
may be summarized thus:
ITO make Ireland free agent in dis
cussing the problems of ireland you
must break the terror. Stamp out
murder, suppress revolution. and re-
store freedom to Ireland. Then to face
our problem we must have double cour-
age. The first is courage to suppress
and the other is even greater courage,
that is, courage to conciiate."

who were the enemies Of yesterday and
who no& suffer all the more.
Wishing chat your labors may be
crowned with the fullest success we
praise God that He may be pleased to
bestow upon you His very choicest re-

ISLAND INHABITANTS ASK
TO BE SAVED FROM SLAVS

Rome, Dec. Al am there. / remain
there, Gabrielle D'Annunzia is reported
to have said Saturday in speaking of his
occupation of the Islands of Veglia aud
Arbe. He declared that mayors of vii
lagos, local authorities and prominent
citizens of .he islands had sent tcle-
grams and petitions asking to be saved
from falling into Jugo, ,Slav hands.
Premier Gialitti observes that occupa-
ton of the islands is not an incident
between Italy and Jugo slavia, but one
between Italy and the allies, as Italy
occupies Veglia and Arbe as a manda-
tory Of the allies. All this, he adds, is
independent of the Rarallo treaty,
through which Italy solemnly acknowl-
eyed that Vegfa and Arbe must go to
Jugo SiaVia.
A telegram signed by eight members
OF the senate was sent Saturday to
D'Annunzio exhorting him to desist from
any impulsive act and from any steps
which might cause fratricidal conflict
and be a source of discord in Italy.
The massage which was written in
the most deferantial style, asks that poet
in the name of his high patriotism to
listen to the voice Of the disturbed and
anxious nation.
