| More important in the long run Is the
| fact that Judge Landis has freed the
| union workers from the imminent
danger of the open shop. The carpen-

Uncle Sans troops did not have to
fire shot in West Virginia. AS SOON
as they entered the disturbed region
the rebellfous miners submitted and
were disarmed and sent home. Quiet
came so speedily that preparations
were being made last week to send
some of the troops back to their
camps.
Meanwhile another but less serious
mine war was >brewing in southern
Illinois. where the union fluor spar
miners were gathering, with arms, TO
march through Hardin county. Their
detectives were the towns of ROsi-
clare and Elizabethtown. The miners
had several clashes with deputies and
detectives, who, according to the union
officials, are creatures of the mine OPP
orators. Governor Small ordered an
| inquiry into charges of persecution
and abuse made against the Hardin
county authorities, mine officials and
guards. The trouble there involves
both wages and unionism and. as in
West Virginia, is of long standing.

tween the United States and Mexico
and the recognition of the Obregon
government. At present, however the
diplomatic deadlock remains unbroken.

The great hordes of unemployed I'm

are holding demonstrations in many
cities that are little short Of riots.
In Bristol they carried red flags and
attacked the building occupied by the
