it, Wage agreements of anthracite
and bituminous coal miners expire the
last of March.
In the effort to resist any decrease
in wartime wages, the coal miners or
Plantations and the railroad labor
unions are already preparing to com
bine if n strike becomes necessary to
enforce their demands.
At the headquarters of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor it is stated
for President Gompers that the Fed
GRAFTON Stands back of any attempt to
combine among workers to combat pos
sible wage reductions"
Conferences are now taking place
between the heads of the coal mine
unions and the railroad unions as to
their course of procedure. The rights
of the public are being completely
ignored.
After the smoke of general strike
clears away (if it is ever called), labor
organizations will find that the public
interest was paramount to their own
selfish ends and that the power of or
ganized labor in a final test of
strength can never stand against an
outraged public sentiment.

President Harding in the Senate.

On February 10th. President Hard
ing presented to the Senate in person
seven treaties, the result of the work
of the Washington Conference on Linn
itation of Armaments. He accompani-
ed these treaties with the complete
minutes and official report of the
American delegation, an innovation in
line with the new spirit of open diplo-
macy and striking contrast to n SIM
liar occasion in July 1919 when Wood
row Wilson laid the treaty of Versail-
les before the Senate. The galleries
were packed, practically every Senator
was in his seat and the rear of the
chamber was filled by members of the
House who had crowded in to hear the
Presidents message.
The principal treaties submitted are:
the covenant for Limitation of naval
armaments, the four-power pact re-
lating to the Pacific, the one restrict
ing the use of submarines and noxious
gasses, and the agreement dealing
with China with special reference to
Shantung. The Presidents address
was simple, direct, practical. As Sem
ator Phipps commented:
THE Presidents message today was
a masterful application of common
sense to international problems. It
showed very clearly that while our del
egates at the Conference were moved
by an ideal, they had the good judg-
ment to work out that ideal along
practical lines and with proper regard
for American interests. 1t would be
the height of folly for the United
States or any other country to disarm,
even in part, unless other nations did
the same; and hence treaty agreements
such as were signed by the delegates
to the Conference are absolutely neces-
sary.
"The only objection raised by few
of our citizens is that such treaties or
almost any agreements among nations,
must be considered as entangling al
liances, but the President proves con-
clusively that such is not the case in
this instance. Here there was no alb
rogation of the sovereign rights of this
County no subordination of American
rights to any other tribunal, no un-
dertaking which could possibly force
this country into war at any future
date. These agreements propose prac-
tical methods of keeping the peace
among nations, based of course upon
the honor and good faith of the sigma
tories, and also prevent the huge ex-
penditure of the nations assets for
war purposes. To any who doubt, l
would suggest careful study of the
treaties themselves and of the Presi-
dents very lucid explanation of their
purpose and effect"

READY FOR WORK SOON
Riverview Drainage District Soon Will
Begin Work on Drainage
System.

o. f. Benwell, the Denver bond brok-
err, was here this week completing the
arrangements for the purchase of the
fifty thousand dollar issue of bonds
by the Rivcrview Drainage District
located in Prowers and Bent counties.
The contract for the work was award
ed to H. II. Mcdowell, but has to be
ratified by n vote of the land owners
of the district at an election to be
held the first week in March. With
the sale of the bonds everything will
be ready for work to begin just as
soon as the election is held. There
is no doubt about the result of the
election rs the bid was the lowest and
every one in the district is enthusiastic
to have the system completed at as
early a date as possible. The new
drainage system will redeem several
thousand acres of fine lands that have
gone to seepage between Wiley and
McClave and south to the river.

State Guaranty law failed for $S,5OO,-
900 savings and check deposits.
The people thought they were secure
under the protection of the great state
of Washington, and when the big bank
failed it dragged others down with it
and the state banks began to get out
from under.
Under a provision of the law the
guaranty banks have all withdrawn the
operations of the act, refused to pay
more dues to the guaranty fund, and
the depositors are going to get about
twenty cents on the dollar.
The Washington bank depositors
guaranty fund does not give deposit
ors the protection that was claimed
for the law, and even if all the mem
ber banks and remained in the game
and paid, the depositors would lose.
After all the best protection that
can be given depositors in any bank
is sound, careful, conservative and ex-
perienced management, instead of re-
sort to Legislative schemes to take the
place of these homely virtues.
Of course, more regulatory legisla-
tion to make bankers efficient and in
telligent will be proposed.

A. B. s. Co. Sale

On Tuesday beginning at $3.50 in

sales for more than year was held
near Lamar at the west farm of the

of fine work horses and mules, some
fine registered Holsteins and large
quantity of farm implements were put
on sale, and in spite of the large
amount to be disposed of all the stuff
is reported to have brought good fig
ares. 1t is mark of the reviving
conditions of the agricultural COM
munity when such large amounts of
high grade stock and farm machinery
can be placed on the market at one
time and bring excellent prices all

FARM MACHINERY WAR
Henry Ford Started Something When
He Made His Recent Reduction
in Prices.


When Henry Ford made his recent
reduced prices on Tin Lizzies of all
kinds he included Fordson tractors and
such farm implements as go with
them in the sweeping reductions. The
international Harvester Co. has come
back at him with an even greater re-
duction in its tractors and all kindred
kinds of farm machinery. Other COM
panies are promptly meeting the cut
and the end is not yet, as few people
believe Hennery will lay down just be-
cause the road is not as smooth as ex-
pected. Both Hennery and his Liz
zies are used to rough going and seem
to like it that way. At any rate the
farmer can watch the fight and feel
certain here is one time that he don't
get it in the neck. 1t will be hard
for the companies to convince the pub
lie that they can afford to make these
sweeping cuts in some farm machin-
cry lines and not be able to come down
in others also. The result will be
watched with interest and pleasure by
the public generally.
