ON THE FRUIT MAP

If anything were needed to put
Martinsburg on the fruit map, the
assignment to this city by the Am
erican Fruit Growers, Inc, of GEN.
trail sales Office would fulfill that
mission, AS a matter of fact Mar
tinsburg is very much on the fruit
map already, but the act Of the Am
erican Fruit Growers, the largest
single fruit corporation in the coun-
try, is nevertheless tremendously
significant. The presence Of the Of
fee here means that it will be the
central Office for all A. F. G.. opera.

NO STRIKES AT THIS MINE.
From The MoraantoWn Post.)

In Kentucky, opposite Kermit, w.
Va, and across the river from what
has become notorious as Bloody
Mingo," is a mining community de-
scribed by a newspaper correspond
ont as an oasis in region long dis
turbed by feuds and strikes and
now by civil war.
This community is built around a
coal mine owned exclusively by
Hungarian immigrants. A HungaT-
ian named Himler an immigrant
himself a few years ago, conceived
the idea of cooperative mine and
has effectively carried it out. The
stockholders number LOO, and
most OF them are miners. The
average holding is four shares. The
employees Of the mine are all share
holders. They feel therefore, that
that property is theirs and that
they are working for Themselves
There have been no strikes and no
apprciable loss through labor CT

naturalized American citizens or
about to acquire that status, for 10
man is employed and permitted to
acquire stock in the property unless
he has declared his intention of be-
coming a citizen.
The miners are law abiding, Thrift

they are not eligible to membership
in any trade union. The yhave no
although some short-sighted opera
tors look askance at them and are
inclined to regard the enterprise as
'bolshevik." OF course, their en-
terprise is the opposite Of compuls-
Dry communism. 1t is based on the
voluntary principle and on respect
for private property.
1t would be an excellent thing for
labor, for the country and for
healthy individuaIism in industry
if there were hundreds Of men like
Mr.. Himler among the wage work
erS, ana II the savings OF laDOr
were largely used to acquire prop
erty and assume the functions and
esponsibilities of business man
agement, instead of to pay strike
benefits.
It is idle to dream Of universal
communism and proletarian class
rule, but it is decidedly profitable
and beneficial to preach and prac-
tice cooperation in industry along
lines compatible with personal lib
erty and the right to the products

MAKE APPEAL FOR
TRUCE in IRELAND
(By The Associated Press

BELFAST, Ireland March Car
dinal Logue, primate of all Ireland, in
a letter to the priests of the Armagh
diocese makes another powerful APP
peal for truce in Ireland and sug-
gests the forthcoming birthday of the
first national apostle offers an oppor-
tune occasion for an appeal to the AL
mighty for the return of peace - Ire
land, pointing out that st. Patrick
brought peace to the country.
Deploring the disregard for human
life and property shown by both sides.
which, he declares, threatens to reduce
the country to a state of desolation
and ruin, Cardinal Logue especially
denounces the ambushing and attack
ing Of soldiers and police in crowded
thoroughfares.
'They who commit such acts know
well those armed forces will blaze
away indiscriminately, killing or
wounding poor, innocent victims,
women. girls and children engaged in
lawful occupations" the cardinal con-
tinues. Lawyers 1 think, say such
acts endangering the general public
involve malice against all mankind.
Certainly all mankind should join In
putting an end to them"

entirely stop. Taxicab fares doubled

Normally about 1900 men are en-

GERMAN DELEGATION

Probably Final Conference for a Set.
Element of Preparations.
tey The Associated Press.)

LONDON, March 6.-The German
delegation will meet the allies tomor-
row at what may prove the final con-
ference for a settlement of reparations
Interest for the present centers in the
outcome OF the meeting yesterday be-
tween DIR. Simons, the German for
etgn secretary and Premiers Lloyd
George and BRAND and other French
ministers at Lord Curzon's home. II
Is understood that DR.. Simons indi-
Gated what the Germans desired to re-
ply tomorrow to the allied ultimatum
This was considered at an informal
conference of the allies after the
meeting with DIR. Simons.
The British prime minister went TO
Chequers Court for the week lend, and
Nj. Loucheur, the French minister of
liberated regions, went there today to
see him. They returned to London to-
gether and Mr.. Lloyd George sum
moned meeting of the supreme coun-
ell. which began shortly after o'clock
this evening and continued for two
hours. Those attending included the
prime minister and Lord Curzon and
Mr.. BRAND, Loucher. Berthelot and
Doumer. in addition TO representatives
OF Italy, Belgium and Japan. The dis
cusslons were not finished when the
council recessed for dinner.
The matter was considered so i'm
portant that Baron Hayashi had tc
be called from the country to attend.
During the dinner recess 1t is I'M
derstood there were further commu-
nications with the German delegates
and when the supreme council reas-
sembled IL was asserted that the Sc
rious discussions were only then be-
ginning.
About an hour later the council adj
journed. No formal communication
was Issued but the correspondents were
authorized TO say that the German
delegation had not yet received from
Berlin formal authority to make a re-
ply TO the ultimatum. They offered
certain suggestions respecting the
terms of payment but the suggestions
were so incomplete that the allies were
unable to consider them as a basis
for a decision.
The supreme council will re-assem-

Domestic Problems About Solved
Turning to Mexico's domestic prob
lens. the executive stated they were
rapidly being reduced to a minimum,
and that although the world perhaps
does not realize it. Mexico is at peace
with herself for the first time since
1870"
Pleading for patience from the out
side world before Judgment is passed
upon his administration, he. declared:
Three months is an extremely short
time to normalize a nation which has
been at war for more than ten years"
He pointed to sterilization of the
natinoal budget, establishment of the
gold standard as monetary basis, the.
invitation of the nations creditors to
get together with the government for
final adjustment and the rehabilitation
of the railroads, which probably would
be completed within six months, as
evidence that the present regime was
injecting business methods into its
administration and was honestly at
tempting to solve the problems which
have been the basis for previous revo-
lutions.
Thee Agrarian problem was slowly
being solved. said the president, by
the return Of land to it's original own
ers, with provision being made for es-
tablishing the working classes as
small farmers. Special commissions
had been appointed to study all classes
of Mexico's population, particular at
tention being paid to the Indians.
Asked concerning reported revolu-
headed by Francisco Murguia, Pres
ident Obregon admitted that promis-
cous uprisings had been noted, but
none of them were of a serious char
acter.
Mexico Not Fond of War.
Mexico is not fond of war;" he de-
clared. Mexico has become warlike
because of necessity. The latest rev.
olution shows the citizens feel what
their duties are, and revolution can
come only when the government is !
wrong.
81 am certain that if the present
government continues within the law, |
Mexico has seen its last revolution"
The present railway strike was de- |
scribed as purely a labor trouble in |
which the government would not take |
part unless life and property were i'm |
periled when the necessary military |
steps would be taken.
President Obregon made a noint- |
blank denial that there was serious
friction within his cabinet. AS for
the national debt, he declared Mexico |
could not pay at present. He favored |
a foreign loan if some arrangement
could be made with the country's |
creditors.
Nothing definite has been done with
regard to the pertoluem question but
the president expected to see some &C
ton begun in congress next month.
