UNION CHIEFS CALL
OFF PROPOSED STRIKE

Washington that the full force Of
the government would be behind il
in any action taken or in preventing
an interruption of transportation
through a strike.
Statements that peace probably
would result from tonight's confer
ence of the union leaders also were
made by several chieftains who here
tofore have beed termed "extrem-
lists" by their cohorts and who have
always been among the first to ad-
vocate a strike.
Early in the day Ben W. Hooper,
vice-chairman of the board, attend
ed meetings of the union heads and
presented copies of the boards re-
cent resolutions not to consider wage
reduction petitions for any class of
workers until rules and working con-
ditions for that group had been set
tied. Mr.. Hooper also was reported
to have urged cancellation of the
strike order pending formal hearings
on wages by the board and to have
to the unions possible plans

rendered homeless by the storm il
Tampa and these have been taker
care of by neighbors and by the Rec
Cross local, which promptly openel
two relief stations. Supplies of cloth.
ing and house furnishings, as well
as food, have bene made available
the city government making good
any need which the Red Cross could
not supply.
Of the five or six ships which were
washed ashore here during the storm
only one or two will be lost. The
others can be put back in the water.
An odd sight is a three masted
schooner high and dry with a former
mine sweeper and a steel hulled
barge nesting alongside the schoon-
er. All three will be salvaged and set
afoat again.
Greatest Damage In Southwest
The greatest part of the damage
was along the southwest coast from
Punta Rassa where the gail attained
a velocity of 100 miles, to just north
of Tarpon Springs. A few miles back
from the coast the damage is much
less and the path of the hurricane
apparently was not more than fifty
miles wide.
At none of the gulf coast resorts
we're any lives lost. A number of
louses were destroyed by wind and
water at Pass-a-Grille and Anna
Maria key and at Cortez, Indian
5each, Clearwater Beach, Indian
Rocks, and there was some damage to
Vodoen buildings on Egmont and
bullet keys where Forts Dade and
'eSoto are located; also at st. Peters,
urg beach, Sarasota, Siesta key and
'ongboat key on the upper coast; at
'ort Myers, Sanibel Island, Useppa
Stand, Boca Grande and some other
oints.

Longworth, Republican, Ohio, to ask

esrted tonight that the reply had

OUR OBVIOUS PRESIDENT.

When President Harding went to
Birmingham to make an address, or
several addresses, he failed to avail
himself of an opportunity to pledge
to the people something that he, as
chief executive, will do toward ale
waiting conditions, matters with
which he has direct concern and over
which he has almost direct control.
Instead the president elected to make
an address that presented no new
thought, no practical suggestions, no
constructive plan of action. 1t was
| the merest twaddle.
So many men, much more intimate
with the conditions in the south than
the President can ever be, have said
what ne attempted to say, so much
better and so much more to the point,
without giving what they said the
impress of executive authority. And
these things have been said SO MANY
times that for one in the high place
to which Mr.. Harding has been ele-
waited it stamps him again as a the
oretical opportunist.
And, Mr.. Harding displayed an
Ignorance of conditions that was in
excusable. If there is a state in the
union where the negro is not per-
mitted to- vote we have never heard
of it. Yet the President denounced
a system which deprives the colored
man of the right of franchise, sys-
TEN which does not exist except in
the self-isolation of the negroes
themselves who elect to vote solitRv
IN party that is the recognized op-
posite of that in which the majority I
Of the white men take allegiance. We
know of a very large number of good
negro citizens in the south who vote
he Democratic ticket, and it is meta fl
Die that they are the more prosperous c
and best thought of among their t.
ace. t.
Social equality is not debatable in I
he south, never has been and never h
will be, and it ill-becomese a chief o
Executive to spout his sophomore a
md platitudinous warnings against lo
is existence, the inveighing merely p1
reating a false impress of such a Sc
disability. fl

WAR UNTHINKABLE.

times, sane enough, are going up ant
down this country and the world de
claring that war is unthinkable.
Generally this optimistic prediction
is applied to America and England
but there are many persons who have
arrived in some way at the conclu-
sion that Mr.. Wilson's "war to end
war" really did put an end to the
slaughter of mankind and the de.
struction of human wealth and hap
piness.
A half-minute devoted to reading
the news from Europe recently
would be sufficient, one would believe
to dissipate such a crude understand
ing of human nature and of the true
effects of any great war. Whenever
a terrific explosion occurs, or when
ever a portion of mountain breaks
loose upon the valleys below, there
follows a period of small disturbance
es from the atoms Jared looes by
the shock, or whose "inhibitions"-
In the case of humanity-have suf-
tered break down, releasing for
the time the natural forces of evil
that had been kept in leash or in
prison.
So with the world today, after the
great shock and explosions of war.
For one thing, the nations have got
in the habit of fighting and playing
foolishly with explosives and edged
tools. There are loose in the world |
millions of men that have only re-
Gently grounded their arms. Many
Of these would gladly return to the
tented held or even to the miry
trenches or the beleaguered town.
Even our Americans have shown
evidence of this decentralization. A
considerable number of our human
derelicts of war are still, we are told
wandering about nights in Paris,
something between common providers
and desperate "Apaches."
War is never unthinkable, except il
to the unthinking. And it is least
in period following
Immediately such an upheaval as the e
Treat War, which shattered pretty
nearly all barriers that had hitherto
restrained what was left in US of the "
ape and tiger.

of going to China Is given up. g
The coming of Susanna and Kates

had kept their hopes alive, but a link
remains in Moon Chao, Chinese boy
who had lived with them the first year
Of their marriage. Returning to his
uncle in China Moon Shao grows up
with the inspiration of their dream al

that at last they are enabled to turn
their faces toward the East.
More and more authors are holding
up before the public the hope Of China
as a regenerating spiritual force in
the world. 1t is subject that admits
Of argument and one which no referee
can settle. Ernest Poole contributes
subtle edition to the affirmative side
Of the debate in passages of beauty and
vision. But it is in the life of Kate
and Peter together, not in any possible
message, that the power of the book
lies. Nowhere is it better expressed
than in the homely scene when hus-
band and wife discuss the letter from

Gold" digs deep into the hearts of a
man and woman who cherish dreams
that for nearly lifetime must be re-
pressed because Of poverty. It is a
tragedy in little, the day by day strug-
gle to live In an age In which, as the
author pictures it, we are all like beg
gars, sitting on bags Of gold.
The poignant realism of the story is
thrown into greater relief by means of
this symbolism. 1t is China-~not mere
ly the China Of the strange crooked
streets, the bazaars and the temples.

only Of what is outside mans body

Joy there Is no question Of turning the
offer down. Then the obstacles loom
up until the vision is obscured. The
winters are bad in Peking, Susanna is
liable to colds, there is only 500 IN
bank and there are bills to settle before
they can leave. Dare they go? Dare
they refuse? Back ard forth they
went over the ground until their nerves
are frayed, and they are no nearer
decision than in the beginning. When
at last they decide to go. Peter upsets
the decision. The risk is too great.
There is more than hint in the
latter part Of the book that playing for
safety is to blame for their failure to
achieve their dreams until they have
grown far beyond their youth. In her
delirium Kate sees what might have
been II they had taken the splendid,
dangerous way, "all the petty, worry

MUCH Of the charm of "Tdle Days
in Patagonia" is found in this
new American edition Of Hudson's
visits among the shepherd folk Of the
South Wiltshire Downs. It was, in
fact. the likeness between the two
places that drew Hudson to the Downs,
the feeling it gave him that in this
wide green space with signs OF hu-
man life and labor on it, and sight
cf animals-sheep and cattle--at va
rious distances, we are not aliens here,
intruders or invaders on the earth,
living in it but apart, perhaps hating
and spelling 1t, but with the other
animals are children Of Nature, like
them living and seeking our suste-
nance under the sky, familiar with her
sun and wind and rain"
1t is primitive pastoral life of
which he writes, Of shepherds, living
all their lives in one place, caring for
their sheep in all weathers, silent,
Godfearing, humble minded men,
more nearly akin to Abraham and
Isaac and Jacob than to the ultra-civ-
ilized people of the England Of towns
and cities so few miles away.
There are tales Of the dark people
Of the valley, with gypsy blood in
them, Of sheep dogs and adders, of
starlings and Of foxes. Tales, too, Of
poaching to add to meager larders,
Of revolt against the thrashing ma
chimes, which meant even less than
starvation wages for the farm labor
ers, and tales Of human and animal
tragedies alike. There is in particu-
lar the tale Of the poaching cat who
came to a bad end, hypnotized by the
shining railroad track and crushed
fiat as pancake as Just punishment
for his sinsl A delightful book!
