Organization

Newport has now Country
Cluband perhaps as important as
any decisions arrived at last even

the new outing club which has just
been formed. At the meeting held
in the city council rooms Thursday
night at which Rufus Spear pre-
sided, Col. C. S. Emery chairman
of the Incorporating committee,
made the following motion: 81
move that the committee proceed
to incorporate under the name of
The Newport Country Club with

SO voted. Chairman Rufus Spear
arpointed a committee of three to
prepare bylaws for the club to be
presented at the next meeting
The men named on this committee
are Henry G.. Blanchard, Fred E.

will be $4,000. at $25.00 per share
and with annual dues of $500.
The Newport Country Club is
the outcome of the desire on the
part of the enthusiasts in our city
for a golf course. Newport is the
logical pleasure ground for North

of tourists who visit this section
each summer would appreciate the
ADVANTAGE Of good golf links.

a lease for five years, with the OPP

Percy farm on Pine hill, about
two miles east of Newport. A golf
expert from Shcrbrooke, who has
been over the ground, has nro-

President Harding and Operators
Find Same "Big Issue" in Coal Strike

'If the coal producers OF the United
States" to quote the President, were
so organized that a national policy
we're TO determine the policy OF every
member and permit no sales OF coal
except on dictation OF terms by the
national officials, every State Legisla-
ture and Congress itself would in
stantly put an end TO such a practice.
The mine workers unhesitatingly as
sumed national dictation. It is the
big issue involved in the present dis
puie. Frankly, | think that it must
be dealt with, II we are to have any
security and any assurance Of a suppl
OF fuel"
Significant Parallel
There is a most significant parallel
OF thought, between this statemanlike
utterance of the President. and the
conclusion given by Mr.. Ogle.
There is. however" to quote Mr..
Ogle, "a greater issue now involved,
which is far above the price OF coal
or wages paid to the miners. This
vital question before the American
people today is whether the public
shall be dominated by an arrogant
set of union labor leaders who at
tempt TO override laws, courts and
government itself and look with ap-
parent equaniRity upon murder and
massacre. if it helps gain their ends.
This is anarchy. The public is in
terested in the defense of those prin-
ciples upon which our government is
founded and will Join, we are sure,
in our appeal for the establishment
of non-partisan tribunal to properly
develop and present all the facts re-
lating 70 the industry"
Thus, President Harding and Mr..
Ogle agree on the "big issue" involved
in the strike-the refusal of the
miners to agree TO any arbitration
and determination TO force their own
dictation on the operators, the gov
eminent and the public.
Dynamic in manner, Alfred M.
Ogle is the strong personality which
has come TO the fore in the present
coal strike. As president
of the National Coal Association, Mr..
Ogle has had to appear as spokesman
for the operators, a task for which he
is well fitted. for he knows the in
