Surveying the national situation. il

The letter was written by the
president under date OF August %

Praises Congress.
1--WE have made much progress
towards retrcnchmcnt and greatly
increased efficiency" the president
asserts. ~ cannot but account it a
monumental accomplishment which
has marked the work OF the extraor-
dinary session down to the time OF
its recess"
Looking to the future, Mr.. Hard
ing expresses the confident hope
shat congress, after the recess and
before the end of the extraordinary
session. will adopt both the tariff
and taxation measures and that
along with these it will pass the bill
to permit funding the debt owed us
by foreign governments"
This, | hope" he adds, will
shortly be followed By arrangements
under which the debtor countries
will begin paying interest on their
obligations. Likewise I am conf
dent that the bill facilitating the
funding of the debt of the railways
to the United States will become
law during the extraordinary ses-
sion, insuring large and immedi-
ate demand for employment of men

The president expressed thanks to

Mine Uprising
attributed To
Union Officials
Chairman of Operators As.
sociation Denies Gompers'
Charge That Wage
Controversy to Blame.

Washington, Sept. 6-Cnited mine
workers officials were charged with
responsibility "ior the invasion OF
Logan county and proposed inva-
sion of Mingo county by armed min
ers," in a statement issued last night
by Harry Olmsted, chairman OF the
Operators association of the Will
hanson field. The statement was
declared to be in answer TO that OF
Samuel Gompers, which Mr.. Ohm
sted described as hypocritical and in
many instances false and misleading.
Mine guards and private detectives
are not employed by operators in
the Williamson field, Mr.. Olmsted
said. adding that Mr.. Gompers had
deliberately misrepresented condi-
tions." The charge of Mr.. Gom-
pers that the uprising had been caus-
ed by the failure OF the operators to
put into effect the award Of the gov
crnment wage board. was character
lied as another falsehood."
Under No Obligation.
"The mine operators were under
no obligation to do So" the state
ihent said, they having no connec-
ton with the coal fields covered by
that award.
Nevertheless, the increases al
lowed by the United States govern
ment were adopted in this field
promptly after the amount of i'll
crease had been fixed. 1t as never
before been alleged that the strike
was due to wage adjustments or any
cause other than to compel recog-
milton of the United Mine Workers
organization.
Goal is measured rather than
weighed in this field. The meu have
never asked to have the system
changed.
Denies Report Of Lawlessness.
mfr. Gompers makes himself
ridiculous to West Virginians when
he makes his plea about the miners
protesting against lawlessness iii so
far as he refers to the United Mine
Workers. The miners are generally
law-abiding. Every disorder that
has occurred in the mining fields
of West Virginia has been OCCASION
ed by the thugs and outlaws of the
United Mine Workers organization
who came to compel unionization Of
these fields.
: "The invasion OF Logan county
and Mingo county was threatened
by the United Nine Workers 'organ-
zation in the Williamson field as
early as April and May, 1920.
"In Logan and Mingo counties Of
West Virginia, and Pike county,
Kentucky, having an aggregate area
of 1858 square miles, there were
not employed as many as 100 peace
officers prior to the invasion by the
organizers OF the United Mine
Workers"

Washington. Sept 6.-1here il
now every reason for confidence tha,
Secretary OF State Hughes is destinc,
TO win all that he has contended for
IN the dispute with the allies over
the disposition OF the territories
cedcd by Germany and its allies to
the principal victors OF the World
war.
The justice OF Mr.. Hughr5' con-
tcntion the America, by virtue oi

sesses an inalienable fifth interest in
the former German colonies and is
entitled TO equal rights in TO terri
tory cedcd by Turkey already has
been conceded by the allies. They
set out TO ignore the United States
in the formulation OF the mandates
ior this territory. ostensibly because
America was not represented in the
supreme council at the time, and they
, paid no attention to the Wilson adj
ministration's protest agairs. ap-
rroval OF the Japanese mandate by
the league OF nations council, os-
,ensibly because America was not
represented in the league.
Allies Change Stand.
When Mr.. Hughes took the mat
ter in hand, however, the allies
changed their attitude. He demon
strated that the allies, in ignoring
the United States, were violating a
provision of the Versailles treaty
and were depriving the United States
Of rights conferred by that treaty
which were unimpaired by tile fail
IRE OF America to ratify that con-
tract.
Thereupon the allies asked the
United States to state what changes
il desired in the drafts OF the
A-mandates for Mesopotamia and
other former Turkish territories and
Of the B-mandates for former Ger
man possessions in Africa. which
classes OF mandates are awaiting the
approval of the league Of nations
council. The allies also indicated
their willingness to revise the terms
OF the C-mandates for the Pacific
islands, approved by the league
council in December, 1920, in such
manner as might be agreed uron by
the United States and Japan in the
discussion of the disposition of zap,
the cable and radio center in the
western Pacific.
The note dispatched by Mr..
Hughes to the allies last week sets
forth lii detail the changes the
United States desires made in the
provisions OF the A and B mandates,

The Care of Bred Sows

The most successful hog raisers are
careful to see that their bred sows have
a balanced ration and plenty of exer'
else and good water, say livestock
specialists of the Division of Extension,
University of Tennessee. Corn nee,
essarily constitutes the. principal parl
OF the ration, but it should be supple
menied with bone and muscle building
feeds, such as skimmilk, buttermilk OF
tankage. When plenty of good quality,
lesf7 slfalfa is available only limited
amount of milk or tankage is necessary.
Alfalfa supplies considerable mineral
matter and its bulkiness prevents the
sow from becoming too fat. In order TO
provide the exercise which is essential
for husky litters Of pigs, 1t IL
suggested that the sows be given plen.
ty of range. Exercise can be forced
BY feeding at distance from the hog
barn. ii. stalk and alfalfa fields are av-
ailable the sows usually do good deal
of fcraging. especially in good weather.
An abundance of clean water is impor.
tant and in very cold weather the
chill should be taken off.

CALCIUM ARsENATE TREATMENT

An idea Of the benefit gained by
application of the calcium arsenate
treatment developed and recommend.
ed by the United States Department
OF Agriculture against the cotton-boll
weevil is found In the experience OF
large planter at Tallulah. La. With
the exception Of certain test plats, this
mans entire acreage was busted with
calcium arsenate, the cost being 1920
an acre. He obtained an average yield
of l,215 pounds of seed cotton to the
acre on the land surrounding the test
plats, while these imprisoned test
plats averaged only 800 pounds, or
about 25 per cent Of the yield on the
poisoned cotton. Thus his net profit
from poisoning on these areas on
sales made before declining prices OF
cotton was about sl20 an acre.
