the city charter upon which
the petition Is based
Article III, Section 9 Ca):
mo act, ordinance or resolution
or order of the governing body of
the city shall, unless Il be declared
an emergency measure on tho
ground of urgent public need. go
into effect until thirty days after
Its passage. IL at any time within
the thirty days a petition signed by
90 per cent of the qualified voters
Is presented TO the governing body,
asking that the measure In ques-
ton be submitted to n vote OF the
people for adoption or rejection
said measure shall not go into ef-
feet until an election shall have
been held as petltioned. IL shall
be the duty of the governing body
of the city to provide for such ciec-
ton within thirty days of the filing
of the petition.
Legality Is Uncertain.
Commissioner Walter NJ. Connell
stated last night that he could not
express an opinion as to the legal
ity Of the petition proceedings The
commission will be guided, If the
petition Is presented tonight, by
the opinion Of City Attorney w. a.
Keleher.
The commission did not order tho
discharge of the firemen but In
structed City Manager Gladding to
"break UP the union,' he declared.
While there are no records of the
meeting, it was his impression that
the action was an emergency ana
as such would not be subject -
the petition. At feast he SO re-
garded it. Mr.. Connell said.
Commissioner II. B. Swope statec
that at the meeting at which the
action on the Union was discussed,
that 1t was not declared by anyone
to be an emergency order and that
city Manager Gladhing was In
structed to "break up the union
and If necessary to employ new
men"
Recall Believed Abandoned.
Recall proceedings have been
abandoned, temporarily at least,
labor leaders stated last night.
They believe that the circulation
and presentation of the petition will
be sufficient to bring the matter be-
fore the people for {. vote.
Commissioner Swope is opposed
to a recall against Commissioner
Connell. THAT is picking out am
individual and holding him re-
sponsible," he said. IF there is II
recall believe the whole commits
sion should be recalled and not
Commissioner Connell alone"
The charter provides that If the
vote to recall a commissioner is
recalled, the remaining commits
sioners shall select his successor.

London, April 12.--The confer

workers and government officials
today failed to reach a settlement
in the miners strike, miners re-
fusing to accept the premiers pro-
pc sails for national settlement of
wages without national pool of
profits, which Mr.. Lloyd George
declared impractica BILE.
Transport workers and railway
men, however suspended their
strike notices, which would have
expired at midnight tonight.
The only government proposal
which the miners would consider
was one in which the government
offered. after the wage question
had been settled, to give temporary
assistance to mitigate the rapid re-
duction of wages; the others they
brushed aside,
Miners Stick to Demand.
The premier met the owners and
miners In separate conferences,
then Jointly. But the miners stuck
to their demand for national pool
OF profits and national settlement
of wages.
The premier, after a two hours
session with the miners and again
in the joint session. said he knew
nothing that would justify the
government in changing the con-
victions expressed. He insisted a
national pool would lead to gov-

Frank Hodges retorted that the
miners only asked for temporary
assistance and that their perma-

AN ENUMERATION OF
CHAs. W. BAUHGMAN

Headquarters Fourth Corps Area,
Fort Mcpherson, Ga, Sept 20
Under date of Sept. %, 1921, infor-
nation was received from the war de-
partment that the charge of desertion
standing against Chas. w. Baughman,
a registrant of the local board for d.
vision No. /, Tampa, Fla, has been
set aside.
Draft records show that this regis
trant was directed to report TO the
adjutant general OF the state of Flor
ida for military duty not later than
March Is, 1918, and that because he
failed to so report he was subsequent
ly certified to the adjutant general as
deserter. Records of those who
served in the world war show that he
entered the army on July 1, 1917, and
was discharged December 9, 1919.
This mans name appeared on the
published list of alleged draft desert
ers as the result of the final report of
the draft officials showing him to be a
deserter and that there is no record
of his having notified his local board
OF his entrance into military service
as was required by the draft regula-
lions. The reason why this mans
service was not discovered in the
check of the list of alleged draft de-
serters against the records of the
army is because his name is borne on
his service record as Charlie Baugh-
man, whereas it is shown on the draft
record as Chas. w. Baughman, to
gether with the fact that his hom,
address is shown on his service record
as Roseville, Ohio, and is shown OF
his draft record as Tampa, Fla.

LAKE WEIR

Lake Weir, Sept. 28.-Letters from
Rhode Island state our dear friend,
Lloyd Burdick passed away in the
u. S. hospital at New Haven last
week. Mr.. Burdick spent the winter
here two years ago with his mother
and purchased property to build
home if his health permitted his re-
turning to Florida, but on account of
a deep cold contracted while in the
army, which in spite of all earthly
help ran into tuberculosis, he answer
ed the last roll call like good soldier.
The writer living at the intersection
OF several roads and on the main
highway and camping ground very
near, has a fine opportunity to OBJ
serve road courtesy, which counts so
much in the impression made on the
tourists by the welcome they are re-
ceiving from the state. When in trou-
BILE with a tire, broken axel or i'll
ness, it is not always the man who is
rolling along in the fine limouslnes
who renders assistance, but the hum
bic day laborer who perhaps is truck
ing by the hour for his daily bread.
HIS hand goes out in hearty shake,
with "Now, how can / help you; just
command me-" Nothing is ever lost
by kind, brotherly courtesy in all
walks of life and no opportunity
greater than the present to show
southern hospitality to the stranger
within our gates.
The wagons, trucks and all road
machinery have been passing on the
highway to Ocala for several weeks
which is a good indication that some
thing will be doing presently about
road construction.
