New-York tribune., 1921-10-31
BY Joseph p. Tumulty

General Wood was not sent to
France for the good and sufficient
reason that General John J. Perish
ing, commander of the Expeditionary
Forces, did not ask to have him sent,
which was a plain indica-
tion that he was mother needed nor
wanted in France. The decision with
reference to General Wood was not
the decision Of the President, nor the
Secretary OF War, nor tho Chief of
STAFF, but it was the judgment of
General Pershing. the general whom
the President had selected for high
post in command, and to whom he
gave full responsibility. At the time
OF General Pershing's departure for
France the President made it plain
to him that, as commander Of the
Expeditionary Forces, he was not to
be hampered by meddling politicians
from this sidc nor political nor par
tisan interference of any kind. He
was given full power in the selection
Of those generals upon whom he
should have to depend. His list,
therefore, was approved as matter
of course.
AS | recall it, the whole trouble
in the Wood matter arose out Of the
apparent humiliation Of General Wood
due to his recall after he had taken
his division to New York, prepara-
tory to sailing for the other side.
General March treated the circum-
stances of General Woods case as
a matter of mere military routine,
failing to realize its political i'm
portance. Instead Of informing Cen
eral Wood at once that he had not
been chosen TO go to France, he fol-
lowed the established procedure and
waited for the completion of the
training period before issuing Or
ders to the division commanders.
Funston in advance of the division
and without waiting to receive his
orders. General March sent the or
dcrs to him in New York, and in
consequence there was an appear
ance Of eleventh hour action, an ef-
feet of literally pulling General
Wood from the deck of the transport.
General Wood carried his COM
plant to the President and was told
plainly that the list would not be
revised in the personal interest Of
anybody. The day General Wood
conferred with the President | dis
cussed the matter with the General.
. The General said: II know
who is responsible for this. 1t is
that man Pershing." I assured the
General that thera was nothing in
the Presidents attitude toward him
that was in the least degree un-
friendly, and called his attention to
the fact that when the President
took Office in 1913 and Wood was
Chief Of Staff, although there were
many bitter complaints made against
him, the President acted upon Gen-
eral Hugh L. SCOTS recommended
tions and General Wood was per-
nhitted to remain in Office until his
term expired in 1914.

der Charging Mine Workers
With Trust Conspiracy

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 3O.--Judge A.
B. Anderson's injunction directed
toward stopping efforts of the United
Mine Workers of America to organize
the Williamson coal field in West vir-
gina will be issued Tomorrow None
would attempt to forecast its probable
scope or effect. The order will be
issued in the suit of the Borderland
Coal Corporation, charging the union
and operators in organized fields with
an unlawful conspiracy to restrain
competition in the coal markets OF the
country.
Judge Anderson, who was consider
ing the text Of his order, was under
stood to contemplate as 9 part of it
statement declaring that he regarded
himself compelled to issue the order
because of the refusal OF President
John L. Lewis of the miners organiza-
tion to stop efforts toward unionizing.
The evidence was regarded by the judge
as establishing conspiracy in viola
tion of the Sherman antitrust act. and
also as showing unlawful use of the
'..check off" SYSTEM" by which operators
deduct union dues from miners wages.

a rest tomorrow for the first time
since practice started at the Deer Park

in the strength of tho team, and the
rest OF the season is looked forward to

General Wood was not sent to
France for the very good reason that
General John J. Pershing, COM
n1ander Of the American Expedition
ary forces, did not ask to have him
sent, plain indication that he was
neither needed nor wanted in France.
The decision was not the decision Of
the President, nor the Secretary Of
War, nor the Chief of Staff, but the
weighed judgment of General Perish
ing, the soldier selected for tho high
post of field command and given full
power even as he was held to full
responsibility. >.
At the time of General Pershing's
departure for France knew, as
did every one else in government,
that it had been made plain to him
that he would not be hampered by
home meddling. Even as he was held
to full responsibility, so was he given
full power in the selection of those
men upon whom he would have to de-
pend. His list, therefore, was ap-
proved as a matter of course.
AS | remember it, the whole
trouble arose from the fact that Gem
eral March treated the circumstance
as one Of military routine entirely,
utterly failing to realize it's political

not been chosen to go to France, he
followed the established procedure
and waited for the completion of the

to tho divisional commanders. Gen

without waiting to receive his orders.
General March sent them to him in
New York, and in consequence there
was an appearance of eleventh hour

Wood from the very deck of the
General Wood carried his COM
plant to the President and was told
plainly that the list would not be re-
vised in the personal interest Of any
soldier or politician. When the Pres
ident took office in 1918 the one
army man that he knew was General
Hugh l.. Scott. Wood was then Chief
of Staff, and, owing to many and bit
ter complaints against him, the Pres
ident sent for Scott and asked for
information and advice with respect
to the retention Of Wood. General
Scott, generous and kindly man,
urged the President to take no ac-
tion, and Wood was permitted to re-
main in the Office until his term ex-
pired in 1914.
