THE PRESIDENTS STAND.

In the firm stand taken by Presi-
dent Harding on the existing condi-
lions in the mining and railroad
prise. 1t is in accord with his past
record and his public expressions.
When Qthe transportation act was
before the senate, it contained two
provisions relating to labor and
wages. One provision created board
for adjudication of disputes over
wages and conditions of labor and the
other made it unlawful to enter into
a conspiracy to interrupt interstate
traffic on railroads. This was known
as the anti-strike clause. Senator
Harding supported both provisions
and was taken to task by an Ohio
federation of railroad employees. which
asked why ne voted for the anti-strike
clause. In an extended reply widely
circulated in his pre-convention cam
paign. Mr.. Harding said, in part:
'Tn my private pursuits as a pub
fisher. am an employer of organized
labor, having never known a contro-
versy. and I believe most cordially in
rational unionism. Organization and
collective bargaining. under wise
leadership. have done more to ad-
vance the cause of labor than all
other agencies combined, and any one
who thinks to destroy sane unionism,
by legislation or otherwise, is blind
to conditions firmly established. and
is insensible to a public sentiment
which is deliberate and abiding. But
the advancement of unionism is one
thing and the domination of organ
lied labor is quite another. I sub
scribe to the first and oppose the lat
ter. do not believe in any clsss
domination, and the long fight to re-
move the domination of capital. now
fairly won. is lost If labor domination
is substituted in it's stead.
II favored the anti-strike clause be-
cause it applies to a public service
under government regulation in which
congress exercises its power to limit
the return on capital invested, fixes
rates at which the public must be
served, enacts the conditions under
which service must be rendered. and
finally, in the anti-strike clause, pro-
vides a capable tribunal for the ad-
justment OF all labor grievances so
that no interruption in transportation
need be apprehended. believe It not
only consistent but a distinct advance
in behalf OF the public and the work
men alike If the government repre-
senting all the people can not guar
antee transportation service under any
and all conditions, IT fails utterly. If
that same government cannot provide
just Consideration OF the workmen
operating the transportation system.
It fails again. 1t ought and must do
both"
As passed by congress. the trans
portation act contained the provision
for adjudication of disputes. but the
anti-striks clause was eliminated,

Appeal to All other Unions.
Washington, July 19.-Workers
thruout the United States were for
ma!ly appealed to today by the execu-
tive council of the American Fedora
ton of Labor to actively support in
every way the striking railroad work
ers.
The appeal went by unanimous vote
of the council to every labor organi-
zation in the United States, to every
labor publication and to every organ
lied labor man thru federation organ
izers.
The council in It's appeal, virtually
demanded support of the striking rail-
road men, mot only from working
people. but from all Americans who
love Justice"
The appeal follows:
1--WE call upon working people ev-
erywhere and upon all Americans who
love justice to sustain the cause OF
the railroad workers who have ceased
work as their only remaining method
of protest against an injustice which
must rank as one of the most repre-
hensible which any American indus
trial or political institution has ever
sought to impose.

of a union or not, will, If he is pos

is true to the cause, conduct himself

Three Children, Different Ages, All

Pensacola, Florida, July 1s.-The
family of o. S. Norman, of this city,
has decided that July is a bigger
day in history than July 4, and in the
future the day after the day featured
by firecrackers. flag displays and
speeches will be celebrated in the
household.
Eloise Norman was born at 5:55 a.
m. July s, 1905; Cleo Elizabeth was
born at 1885 a. m. July s, 1921, and
July 5. 1922, became notable at 1885
p. m. because of the arrival of o. S.
40. man, jr. It is the only instance
in this CITY where as many as three
children in one family. excluding
t-lplets, have the same birthday, and
oontiler peculiar feature is the fact
that each child was born within five
minutes of the hour. The Norman
family moved to Pensacola from st.
Louis, Mo-, last October.

leaving railroad employees legally free
to strike, provided they violate no
other laws. Nevertheless, Mr.. Hard
ing's letter clearly set forth his views
that It is the duty OF the government
to guarantee both due consideration
to the empioye and continuous trans
portation.~ When the question was
put up to Mr. Harding. the candidate,
he did not dodge or equivocate. He
does not put the case in any stronger
terms now than he did when he was
seeking votes. He manifests the
same quality of backbone now that he
did then. AS a candidate. he spoke
deliberately and courageously, and he
speaks the same language now.

a loss, but when it is considered that
