STRIKERS DESTROY Mines
Lloyd George Tells Commons He Will
Not Recede From His Stand
One lota

London.-The British government
has spoken the last word to the coal
miners of the United Kingdom. 1t will
neither maintain, nor control, nor sub
sidize the mining industry.
Lloyd George, toward the close Of
one of the most memorable labor de-
bates in the house of commons, threw
his challenge to the striking federation
shortly before the session adjourned,
after other government leaders had out
lined in long statements exactly what
position cabinet was ready to take in
the crisis. Not a word was spoken
which might indicate to any degree
that tn government will recede from
its uncompromising stand.
Instead, through the threat Of mill.
tary activity and by the impressive
preparations to meet violence by dis
play of force, the government is swiftly
concluding its plans for any emergency.
The government is concentrating
troops in Kensington Gardens in the
fashionable west end district. suppos-
edly in connection with plans to main
tain order in the event Of disturb
ances. This location was huge sup
ply depot during the railway strike OF
1919 and probably will serve as the
nucleus for such work, if the trans
Fort men support the miners. Soldiers
were going into camp. steel helmets
and full wartime paraphernalia. The big
park presented scene Of animation
with tents going up, lorries unloading
food and other supplies and squads
moving at sharp commands from their
officers.
And while the triple alliance. strike
leaders and mine owners were waiting
the result Of the debate in parliament,
the strikers themselves were wreak-
ing their growing anger on coal prop
critics in Scotland and Wales, terrorism
was beginning to show itself, sabotage
broke loose and valuable pits were be-
ing destroyed one by one.
Outbreaks were reported in the va
rious mine fields near Glasgow. One
colliery was mysteriously blown up:
Seven siremen, attempting to operate
the pumps in South Wales mine, were
driven away and clubbed. Six pits
in this district report water pouring
in at the rate of 100000 gallons an
hour. In one mine the operators were
given "a hours in which to bring up
some 600 pit horses.

GOLD METAL FOR CLUB WORK
An Abundance of Fruit Remaining In

Gaffney.-S. C. STRIPPING, county
demonstration agent, said that the
offer of the Gaffney Rotary club to
give a gold medal to the boy in the
county who makes the best record in
club work has added an impetus to
the organization work, and the pros
poets are now very bright for the
work this year. B. o. Williams, assis.

A party Of fishermen went to Broad
river one day and while seining in
the river caught mallard duck which
one of the fishermen has at his home.
The frightened bird dived when 1t saw
the proximity of the fishermen, and
ran into the seine where it was cap
tured. The party caught a quantity
of fish, but were more elated over the
capture Of the bird than Of the fish
which were caught.
Reports that the fruit crop in Chero-
kee county had been badly damaged
by the recent cold snap were denied
by several persons. One prominent
farmer said that he had closely ex-
amined the trees in his orchard, and
that there is left an abundance OF
fruit and that If it is not subject to
any more severe weather, big crop
may be expected.

ASKS TO WITHDRAW MANDATE

Washington.-In the mosf emphatic

allied powers that this gov&nment in

from the victory over Gerhany.
Dealing specifically with the man.
date to Japan over the islapd 10 Yap,
the note asserts that the mtndate was
approved without American assent and
that the United States "ca1not recog-
nize the ALLEGATION of thes Island or
the validity of the mandate
The allies virtually aret requested
to withdraw the mandate when the
note declares: ~
"This government trusts that this
action, which it must asbume was
taken under misapprehenson will be
reconsidered." H.
The American note, which states
that our fundamental sta1d on the
question of mandate territories al
though referring especially to Yap,
was made public recently y the form
of a communication froms Secretary
of State Hughes to the Bfitish gov
ernment. Similar notes were address
ed to Japan, France and, Italy. The
note to Japan contained additional par
agraphs referring to previous CORE
spondence between the two govern
ments, and was not made public.
Secretary Hughes, at the outset, re-
minds the four powers that fhe United
States participated in the victory over
Germany and therefore sh4res in all
the rights gained by the allies.
ut will not be questionsd,p secre-
tary Hughes asserted, that the right
to dispose Of the overseas psosessions
of Germany was acquired only through
the victory of the allied and associate
powers, and it is also believed that
there is no disposition on the part
of the British government p deny the
participation of the United States in
that victory. It would seen to follow
necessarily that the, right 5ccruing to

REPORT SUBMITTED
ON SOLDIER CARE.
COMMISSION OF INQUIRY HEAD
ED BY DAWES, SENDS RESULT
OF PROBE TO HARDING
Seven SUGGESTIONS MADE
Chief Change Is Formation Of One
Agency To Supervise All Branch
es Of Soldier Relief

Washington.-Seven specific recon-
mendations, chief among them the Gre
alton of the veterans service admin
istration to take entire charge Of gov
ernment relief work among eX-soldiers
and to be headed by director general
responsible directly to the president,
were contained in a report submitted
recently to President Harding by his
special commission investigating the
case of veterans.
Charles G. Dawes of Chicago, chair
man of the commission, told the pres
ident as he handed him the report that
he believed the recommendations were
sound and that they would prove sat-
isfactory solution for the troubles ex-
listing in the present administration Of
soldier relief work. Early, action by
President Harding on the report is ex-
pected.
Recommendation number one pro-
vides for the new agency, and gives
it jurisdiction over the war risk insur-
ance, the rehabilitation division Of the
public health service as may be neces-
sary to take proper care Of disabled
veterans. 1t ask that director
general assume charge Of the new
agency with full authority to obtain
necessary facilities when these already
available prove inadequate. This pro-
,;c,a hn or
chase of hospital buildings whenever
the demand exceeded the supply. :.
Care is suggested in the framing Of
new legislation creating the admins
tration in order to avoid present in
consistencies of law affecting the three
existing bureaus. Particular request Is
made that no statutory limitations be
placed on the director general as to
the number and salaries of his en-
ployees.
Number three says that pending the
enactment of new laws, Secretary Mel.
lon of the treasury shall issue orders
to the heads of the public health and
war risk bureaus, authorizing the lat
ter bureau to take charge Of the pub
lie health activities and personnel en-
gagged in providing medical care for the
veterans. The eject would be to con-
solidate these bureaus under one head
by executive order without waiting for
congress to act or risk delay from that
cause.
The next recommendation provides
for an immediate extension and utiliza-
tion of all government hospital facili-
ties together with such mobilization Of
civilian medical services as may prove
practical.
An immediate and continuous hos
pital building program is asked in the
fifth recommendation which suggests
that Secretary Melons committee, re-
Gently appointed to report on sites for
new hospitals, be directed to report con-
cerning the type and locations Of the
required buildings. It adds that ap-
preparations should be made available
by the congress which convenes soon.
The sixth calls for exertion of human
izing influences to impress the sick
and wounded with the fact that the
nation is entirely concerned in their
welfare and rehabilitation.

DIFFICULTIES AT ROUND-THBle
MEETING WITH EXECUTIVES
HARDING CALLS SHEPHERD
Set Forth Principles Upon Which
Industrial Peace Can Be In
sured by Agreement

.-Railroal craft unions.
Thursday night offered their terms
for peace with the railroads in pro-
tocol sent to President Harding.
The unions offer to negotiate all
difficulties at round-table confer
ence, which, it is inferred. may be

1t is further inferred by the tele-
gram that this offer Of peace is the
outgrowth of a request by the presi-
dent for their terms, following his
conference last week with President
B. M. Jewell, of the American Fedora
tion of Labor Railroad Department.
The unions ask that all other con-
ferences on wage reductions that are
pending be suspended until working
conditions are worked out at the pro-
posed conference.
I'VE have never and do. not now
contend for the continuation of any
rule or rules which may be unjust
or unreasonable, and are now will
ing to submit our case to decision at
the conference table," the telegram
states
The unions, however, insist that
there must be signed agreements
with railroad managements guaran-
teeiRg just and reasonable conditions
of employment.
The following principles must be
recognized to insure industrial peace
the telegram states:
/. The right to organize.
2. Protection against discrimina-
tion because of union membership.
8. The right Of the majority of
each craft on each railroad to deter
mine what organization shall repre-
sent them.
4. The right Of the majority Of
each craft to name their own repre-
sentative on each railroad.
5. Eight-hour day.
6. Overtime after eight hours.
. z. Hours of labor that will permit
reasonable living conditions.
s. Clear definition in each craft
on the work to be performed by me-
chanics and helpers.
9. Apprenticeship agreements. + j.
: 10. Craft point seniority recosni
ton
IL. Reasonable safeguards for pro-
lection of health and safety OF en-
ployees.
The conference, the telegram pro-
poses, should be under the authority
of the railroad labor board.
The telegram is signed by the heads
of all the American Federation Of
Labor Railroad Department Union
Leaders.
Washington. E. Sheppard, head
of the Order of Railway Conductors,
recently was invited by President
Harding to discuss with him at the
white house at an early date his
views on the transportation situation.
Officers Of other railway employees
organizations already have discussed
the question with Mr.. Harding, (and
the invitation to Mr.. Sheppard is a
continuation of the presidents effort
to get at every angle of the rail trans
portation problem.
