MT. Harding Writes to MT. Dean - Killing in Great, Free Italy Threatens Dictator ship - American Killings Also Ter rible- Married WO- men Best Diplomats - Interesting Pain That Others Have.
That Others Have.

That Others Have. MT. Harding has written an inter- esting letter to J. Cleve Dean. chair man of the Railway Employes Pub licity Association, in which he de- fines in sharp detail his policy to- ward the coal and the railroad strikes. The men on strike are "ex- ercising their lawful rights"
 ''No one has attempted or proposed to draft free men into either the railroad or the mining service, or suggested coercion under military force.'
 s"The military forces of free Amer ica are never used for such a pur- pose. Their service is only that of preventing lawlessness and violence -' ''The same freedom" says MT. Harding. which permits the miners and the railroad men to strike. per nits others to take their places" These statements are sound up to the point where a country is deter mined to go into civil war.
 In Italy today the news tells of killings by Facisti and Socialists, Conservatives and Radicals, as may force that great, free country into a military dictatorship.
 
 Little that has happened in Italy is more terrible than the killings which have accompanied strikes in America. There are two kinds of settlements, when private initiative fails The government must decide, and citizens must obey; or, the strug- gle must go on to dictatorship, or to worse conditions which all good Americans will wish to avoid. Read carefully what MT. Harding says. Think carefully. while you read.

This writer advises. the Bull garian prime minister as follows: "If you want real diplomat, get mar ried woman, who is the head of a successful 11ome.'

The same money carts the pavement It is not so long ago since politicians carted tax payers money and dumped it into million dollar bridges and super costly improvements, extrava ga ntly done. It makes quite a difference what the mayor uses the carts for.
