ident Harding's PLAN"
Washington, July 18 (By the Asso-
ciated Press).-In the name of the
common welfare and paramount need
of the American people for the pro-
duction and transportation of fuel
supply, President Harding tonight
through kilograms called upon the
governors of % coal states to furnish
protection and safeguard to men and
employers willing to resume work in
the industry Notwithstanding the
mine workers strike. To the efforts
of the states in this direction, he said,
"the federal government pledges to
give every assistance at it's COM
mand."
Behind the kilograms there loomed
the definite indication of a govern
ment decision to obtain the resump-
tion of transportation and mining,
both hampered today by labor walk
outs, which high government officials
consider interconnected and associat-
ed.
Replying to question late today,
Attorney General Daugherty said:
NATURALLY there is a relationship
between the railroad and coal situa-
tion whether inspired or conspired
am not saying"
John L. Lewis, president of the
United Mine Workers of America, de.
clared the presidents message to the
governors merely a gesture which
will not produce COAL" and asserted
that the mine workers strike would
be continued. Earlier in the day be
fore the kilograms had been dis
patched, Samuel Gompers, president
of the American Federation of La
Dor, predicted in a statement that
President Harding's invitation to the
operators to resume operations would
result in no appreciable increase ir
production. He added that "wher
half million men are aggrieved is 6
poor time indeed for the roll OF
drums, the rafting of sabers and The
pounding of the mailed fist"
i~a President Harding, in 50 his .tele'
grams and conferences with unior
officers and mine owners and the Of
fer of existing wage scales to the
striking miners, all of which haC
ended, he said, in failure to reach 6
voluntary adjustment, and left no re-
course but to invite the mine opera
tors to return to their mines and re-
sumo operations. For this last en-
deavor, he asked the assistance o.
the states.

BASEBALL STILL
UNDER DISCUSSION
PROBABLE THAT ENTIRE COR
DON TEAM WILL COME
HERE FOR SEASON.

The lid will be pried off the local
season here Friday, June 9th when
the Dawson club plays the Western
Bloomer Girls. The Western Bloomer
Girls are an independent team COM
posed of ladies, and they know how
to play baseball. Last season they play
ed one hundred and ffty-six games,
winning one hundred and five of that
number The game will be under the
auspices of the American Legion
swimming pool, and the admission
price SIS cents. The club carries the
only lady catcher in the world, also
he worlds most renowned lady twirler,
Miss Kate Becker. The local club will
| have such stars as the Pinkstons,
Wade, etc We want all the fans to
turn out and help the Legion With the
proceeds more bath houses will be
erected at the pool.
Meeting at Court House.
AT meeting of the local baseball
enthusiasts Saturday night at the court
house it was decided that Dawson
should be represented in the national
pastime by a stronger team than here
tofore and that management would be
under the control of the foremost bus
mess men of the city instead of the
usual haphazard way the team has
been run. At the meeting A. ]. Hill
was elected chairman and C.. E. Rainey
secretary. Mr.. Hill called the meeting
to order, stating the purpose and an
nounced that Mr.. Moseley, coach of
Gordon Institute, was present by invi-
tation and would offer a proposition
to the fans in regard to baseball the
coming season. Mr. Moseley offers to
bring the entire Gordon club here
practically intact and assume the man
agerial cares as often as he is able.
The proposition is looked upon IA
vorably by the majority and it is the
concensus of opinion that it is the
cheapest and most reasonable way to
play semi-pro ball The Gordon team
has always led the G.. |. A. A. in base
ball and without a do BIT is tie cream
of the prep school clubs. Also two
Terrell county boys are members OF
the aggregation-Ed Wade and Bob
Pinkston-and the fans here already
know the brand of baseball they are
capable of putting up.
Without a doubt Dawson will have
strong team, and who they will
trade with will be a matter OF several
days yet. If any of the committee who
are working up the guarantee should
call upon you, just think what a sum
mer without baseball would be. One
of the most conservative and far-seeing
business men of the town has offered
this PLAN That each fan guarantee the
amount which he thinks he is able to
contribute and that this guarantee be
put into a tangible form where the
officers of the club can realize enough
to start the ball rolling. Then if the
gate receipts come up to expectations
or to what they should, at the end OF
the season each guarantor be paid
back his pro rata share Of the amount
of his guarantee not needed. 1t is the
honest opinion of the writer that this
is the most simple and easily under
stood as we'll as the best way to handle
| the whole proposition.
