ORDER OF COURT IS CHANG.
ED-ACUTE INTEREST.

indianapolis, Nov. 3.-Work in the
Indiana coal field was practically at
standstill today as result of walk
outs of twenty thousand men employ
ed at approximately 800 mines in the
state, according to early reports re-
ceived at union headquarters at Terre
Haute.
Widespread walkouts in the soft
coal fields of the country were ex-
pected at international headquarters
of the United Mine Workers of Amer
lea. No reports, however, were avail
able there as to conditions in the six
teen states into which messages were
sent last night by the union chiefs,
advising that discontinuance by
operators of the "check-off" as pre-
scribed by Federal Judge A. B.
Anderson's Injunction, was to be
treated as breaking the existing wage
agreement.
At the Terre Haute headquarters
of the Indiana miners, it was said
that the only mines working today
were a few of the: smaller plants. No
formal order for a strike had been
issued at the headquarters, but off,
cials said such was under considera-
ton.
Protest against the temporary in
junction issued by Judge Anderson
was voiced at numerous meetings
held last night throughout the 1ndi-
ana fields and officers of the union
said there was little prospect of a
resumption of work until the writ
was set aside or modified. Operators
of the Indiana field will meet Thurs
day night at Terre Haute to discuss
the situation.
>|P. H. Penna, secretary of the In
diana Bituminous Coal Operators
association, in a statement today
took issue with President John L.
Lewis and other union officials wheth-
er obedience of the injunction would
result in violation of a contract be-
tween miners and operators assert
ing that the contract provided that
both parties were bound by and de-
cis:on of a federal court.

this afternoon adopted the report OF
its resolutions committee after delet-
ing a section severely arraigning Col
George Harvey, American ambassa-
dor to Great Britain, for a recent
speech on the reasons why America
went into the war and substituted a
resolution couched in less drastic Ian
guage.

from the floor by Don A. Smith; ad-
jutant of the London Legion Post OF
the American Legion, who said he
heard the address of the ambassador
and, that officers of the London post
heard it. None of them, he said, no
ticed anything improper in the state
ments.
"I heard him make that speech,
said Mr.. Smith. eve took Mr.. Har-
yey's sense to be that had not Amer
ica come into the war when she did,
she would have had to fight Germany
alone"
Mr.. Smith declared Colonel Harvey
had been inaccurately quoted IN
press accounts of the address pub
lished in this country and that the
resolution of censure was not found
ed on fact and therefore should be
tabled.

that the handling of the resolution
would be placed in the hands of Paul
Grabiel of Little Rock, Ark, spoke
in favor of adopting the resolution.
M. C. Lumpkin, state commander
from South Carolina, spoke in favor

mittee into the "most militant and
efficient organization" within his ca
pacity and dissemination of facts con
cerning the Shortcomings" Of the

lined today to The Associated Press.
Mr.. Hull expects to leave late to-
day for Washington, arriving there

The new chairman's policies are
briefly outlined in the following
statement:
"The first step in administering
the affairs of the committee will be to
pay off the present Indebtedness and
create a good atmosphere in which
to work. We shall try to pay all
debts at an early date.
eve shall also, proceed at once
with establishment of a thorough or
ganization in the various states and
counties. In this same connection we
shall strive to maintain an efficient
publicity bureau to get unbiased and
accurate facts relating to the short
comings of the republican convention
before the average citizens.
"People have been fed upon a vast
amount of misrepresentation, misin-
formation and falsehoods concerning
the true record of the democratic ad-
ministration, covering the period
since 1918. Subsequent events and
daily happenings have exploded a
vast number of these falsehoods,
which at times were very dangerous.
eve shall make every possible ef-
fort to develop the democratic ma
tional committee into the most mill
tant and efficient organization within
our power to do So"

WHAT ABOUT YOUR BOY?

Are you teaching him habits thai
will be safeguards to him in later
years?
The boy who isn't learning good
habits is learning bad ones-he is
bound to form some.
When your boy grows up, will he
have a keen eye to the future and be
determined to achieve success?
Or will he be just "drifter", the
sort that lives one day at time
with no thought for the morrow?
Life is pretty hard on "drifters." :"
What your boy will be depends
pretty largely upon you. You could
MT do better thing for him than to
teach him to save his pennies.
Teach him what saving means-its
relation to success and happiness.
Start little account for him here,
and explain to him how every dollar
he adds to it will be working for
him.
