Governor Davis Don't
Want Second Term

Columbus, Ohio, March 9.-It is
indicated by those close to the "pow-
ers that be" in Republican circles that
the announcement of Governor Harry
L. Davis to be made next week will
be to, the effect that he not be a can
didate for reelection. The governor
is anxious to retire with endorsement
of his reorganization work feels that
he can follow his personal inclinations.
If this condition does develop, it is
practically certain that agreement will
be made upon a former state official
who has made remarkable success
in the business world since his retire
ment a few years ago, and who is
looked upon as the one man who can
unite all factions. In other words,
Carmi A. Thompson, of Cleveland, is
said to have many unusual advantages
to secure the nomination should Gov
ernor Davis decline to be a candidate.

Labor Opposes State
Industrial Court
(By Federated Press)

Albany, N. Y.-Samuel Gompers,
president of the American Federation
of Labor, will head the delegation of
labor union representatives to oppose
the enactment of the Duell-Miller bill
to establish a state industrial court
when that measure comes up before
The senate and assembly labor COM
mittees in joint public hearing. Labor
organizations throughout the state
will be represented at the hearing, and
the campaign which has been conduct
ed against this measure has gained
such momentum that the labor repre-
sentatives are confident they will de-
feat it-or at least force it's modifica-
tion to an extent which will eliminate
its most obnoxious features.
The bill would make It un awful for
a strike or lockout to be called prior
to the filing of statement, giving
answers and rejoiners relating 70 the
dispute, with the State Industrial
Commis sion, or within 81 days after
su Il papers have been filed.
Runlcrs are afoat here that the
supporters of the ILL have become
alarr e' at the storm of protest it has
aroused. and that they are planning
to ctn>ent-after a show of fiyht to
the substitution of a ve"y mild alter
native measure which would merely
provide fer a panel of citizens with
little or no real power to handle dis
patas or enforce decrees. Tnen, with
thi> as Il nucleus, the SPONSORS of the
anti-stYike measure expect to bide
their time, and at a later session of
the legislature to amend the law by
incorporating into it the features they
are believed now to have decided are
too ''strong."

FRIEND OF VETS
CONGRESSMAN MORGAN WOULD
INCREASE PENSIONS.
FavOrs An Amount Sufficient To En-
able Civil War Survivors and Their
Widows To Live In Fairly
Comfortable Condition.

hington-Decision to expedite
action on the Morgan Pension Bill,
aimed to give financial relief to Civil
war veterans and widows, was reached
at a recent conference here of mem
bers of Congress especially interested
in this measure.
The Morgan Bill, which would grant
$72.00 per month to survivors of the
Civil war and $4,000 per month to wild
ows of Civil war veterans, is now
pending before the House Committee
on Invalid Pensions. The merit of
conferees and they agreed that it
should be enacted into law as soon as
possible.
It was agreed that the conferees,
including Senator Holm D. Bursum,
who plans to introduce the same mea-
sure in the Senate, will exert their ir :
fuenre to have the House and Senate
committees hasten action on this leg
islation.
"lt is a shame" said C,Ggressman
Morgan, "that the Government did
not increase the compensation to these
Civil war veterans years ago. 1T Is Il
shame to ask these men, aged IN
years, to live On pittanc IN these
days of excessive living costs. 1t *
a wonder to me now so many of them
manage to exist on the allowance they
receive from the Government. These
men and widows have but IL few yeal S
to live at the best and l think it is up
to the Government to make their last
wear. en- earth as comfortable as pos
sible."
Senator Rursum told Congressman
NJ rgan that he would be more than
g'.ld to introduce the bill IN the Sen.
ate. The conferees agre I'd that tbs
would be good policy and It is ex
pected that the measure, whit it be-
comes law, will be known as the
Morgan 3urs UNI Pension Law.
The pension bill was discussed fol-
lowing a dinner given by Major Gen
eral John Clem, Civil war veteran, of
Newark, Ohio, and Colonel John L.
McElroy, editor National Tribune. In
addition to Senator Bursum and Con-
gresham Morgan those present at the
meeting were Senator Harry S. New,
Congressman Merrill Moores, Colonel
d L Rice of the National Tribune,
representing Spanish war veterans,
and Washington Gardner, Commits
sioner of Pensions

Commerce Board
Can Fix State Rates

Washington-The United States su-
preme court has ruled that the inter-
state commerce commission can regu-
late railroad rates on state as we'll as
interstate railroads.
The decision upholds the Cummins-
Esch act, which takes from states the
right to set rates for railroads within
the state. This portion of the act has
been protested by practically every
state railroad commission as denial
of state rights.
Chief Justice Taft read the deci-
sion of the court. He said that "com-
merce is unit and does not regard
state lines"
Railroad managers and financiers
are in high glee over the decision,
which sweeps from state authorities
all power heretofore held to set rates
on small railroads running within a
state.
The decision may also affect labor
by giving federal scope to cases that
are now treated as state cases. This
estimate is based on the courts deci-
SION that commerce is a unit and does
not regard state lines"

Kentucky is Staging
Another Homestead

Newport, Ky.-Pennsylvania staged
the first Homestead strike in 1892.
Thirty years later Kentucky is now
staging the second Homestead strike
at this place against the same union,
for the same causes and under the
same conditions.
In 1892 Carnegie & Co. started a
war against the Amalgamated As
sociation of Iron, Steel and Tin
Workers. The Newport rolling mill
company and the Andrews steel
company are behind the second Home
stead.
The first Homestead was featured
by Pinkertons, militia, and martial
law. The second Homestead is being
waged along modern lines. The mill
tia, martial law, and prohibition of
meetings are augmented by injunc-
tions and "baby" armored tanks that
assisted in making the world safe for
democracy. The militia has it's head
quarters in company offices.
The employers have been blocked in
their attempt to divide the workers,
who have refused an offer that the
skilled workers be recognized and the
unskilled be given company "union." i"
The militia has arrested the mayor,
chief of police and county judge be-
cause of their sympathies with the
strikers. The mayor headed a dele
cation of 1000 citizens who called on
the militia to leave the city. Since
then these officials were arrested.
The community has been terror
lied by the gun men since last July,
when the strike started. The turmoil
can be traced directly to the steel
companies demand for the anti-union
shop.

And when disaster threatens me.
Lord, let me face It as man.
Let me have vision so that /
May see beyond the doubt and dread
Tomorrow's smiling patch of sky,
Let me not scorn the path l tread
Let me behold the finished task
Not now. but I'm the years to be:
Grant me the faith and strength, ask
To bear Its hardships willingly.
Lord. when I falter and am weak
And dificulties bar my way,
Hold up to me the goal / seek
And LEI me see beyond today.
Lord, let me find in toilsome care.
And bitter service to be done,
In petty failure and despair,
The larger glory to be won.
