 There i. no use in anybody getting into quarrel with facts" he added the president has stated the facts; po- litical critics may wish the facts were otherwise, but that does not change the situation. The country will applaud President Hardings clearness of state ment and patriotism of purpose" Senator McKellar declared the pres ident's speech was 'fll conceived. f timed, i'll placed and can serve no use ful purpose"
 Its only effect" he said. will be tc arouse racial discussions and racial prejudices that had better been left dor mant Speeches of this kind will no benefit the negro and may do him sert ous harm"

 out a separate bGlot to his men, when | the other unions included in their ballots such questions as rules and working conditions. Mir. Lee held that it was il- legal to vote on any thing but the al-
 ready authorized wage cut.

 fremen-met in Chicago to decide what
 action should be taken. On October 15

 out beginning October 30 and extending ]
