MINERS OF BRITAIN .e
FAVOR NATURALIZATION

LONDON, Feb. 27.-British coal
miners are entering upon nationwide
campaign to educate the public in
the school of naturalization. They
are backed by the entire trade union
movement. An attempt will be made
to show that state ownership and CO.
y, -ative management of mines would
benetu ne miner, the consumer and
the public treasury.
This propaganda Is to be developed
with such intensity as TO force the
government to give definite yes" or

will depend upon the tenacity with
which the two sides stand by their
guns as to whether a general election
viii be fought out with naturalization
as the issue. p.
Aside from the dispute between rail-
way men and the government over
wages, prospects of industrial peace In
Great Britain are regarded by the gov

The government and labor leaders
forecast a period of serenity and in

long pleaded as the first essential in

ARABS HATE THE
FRENCH; FAVOR I.
j. 5. PROTECTION

HICKMAN, KY, Feb. 81. (Spl)-A.
S. Barkett, prominent wholesale mer-
chant of this city, has just received
word from his people in Syria that the
Arabs made a raid on the family of
his brother, N. S. Barkett. of Judidit,
Syria, in which the brother had very
narrow escape. The raiders. stole all
the camels, stock and grain that was
movable, and cut down all the orange,
olive and other fruit trees before de-
parting. ..z..... .---
He advised that this state OF affairs
in Syria has come about because the
United States refused to exercise the
protectorate offered them. The Arabs,
he writes, will submit to this country's
jurisdction-but not to the French.
Two or more raids were made on this
family and they have fear that they
may return at any time. Aside from
taking grain, stock, etc, they took
what money Mr.. Barkett had realized
from wheat he had sold. Some two
hundred French soldiers have been
sent in there to protect them. The
Arabs believe that Mr.. Barkett is in
sympathy with the French, who ar9
undertaking to govern Syria, and are
making war on those who submit to
French dominion.

the American people may be assured
there is not the remotest possibility of
food monopoly by the packers, that
the constant criticism and agitation
leveled at this vital industry, which Is
seriously injuring not only 1t, but the
people generally, may cease; that
better understanding and feeling be-
tween this industry and the public may
be established, and that conditions in
this uncertain and dangerous period of
B reconstruction may be stabilized and
the efficiency and benefits of this great
\ industry--dealing as 1t does in prime
necessity of life, a highly perishable
product-may be preserved.
''In dealing with this great question
so intimately connected with the well
y fare of all the people, 1t must be borne
in mind that the packer occupies a
most delicate and difficult position, to
which there is nothing analogous In
v American business. He Is between
a millions of producers on one side, de-
manding a high price for the live meat
Il animal and 100, 100000 consumers on
the other side, demanding cheap meat,
w and there cannot be cheap meat on the
Y table of the consumer when the packer
pays high price for the live animal to
the producer. .s....
HE is thus the constant target OF
criticism and abuse and his business
between these two great conflicting
forces, is, naturally, the most sensitive
in the world to criticism and agitation
the baneful effects of which are. mes
essarily felt in the final analysis BY
both the producer and the consumer. Il
the packer as slaughterer and distrib'
utor of meats and meat food products
does his work efficiently and at rea.
sonable profit, then he Is performing
a most vital work for the people. THAI
the packing industry is efficient and il
conducted on the smallest margin Of
profit of any large basis industry In the
country the defendants stand ready
and willing to demonstrate at all times
IF this statement is true as t
profits, which we most solemnly assert
then 1t is in the interest Of every
man, woman and child in this natior
that this essential and complex indus
