Federation of Labor
in Ohio to Contest
Rule on Amendment
(By United Press)

COLUMBUS, Aug. 25.-The Ohio
Federation of Labor is contemplating
legal action to contest Secretary OF
State Smiths authority to refuse to
place the proposed beer and light
vino" constitutional amendment on
the November election ballot, 1t was
learned today.
Following the federation executive
action in passing resolution condemn
ing Smiths ruling as arbitrary and
illegal because no authority Is given
by the constitution TO any official or
court ito deny the right of initiative
or referendum to the electorate" a
committee was appointed to take un-
der advisement the question of going
into the court to obtain a reversal of
the decision.
Immediate action is not contemplate
ed. according to T. j. Donnelly, secre-
tary-treasurer of the federation, the
committee planning to consider the
question fully before acting.
"As far as we are concerned, this is
not question of voting for an amend
ment for beer and wine" said Don
nelly. 'sIt is a question of what is go
ing to become of the right of initiative
and referendum. Under the constitu
! ton neither Mr.. Smith nor the courts
could deny this proposal place on the
! ballot, unless the petitions were insuf
| ficient or permeated with fraud.
| THE right of referendum, and the
initiative also is being crucified Labor
! is intensely interested in both and la
! Dor intends to fight to the last ditch
that the Initiative and referendum pro
visions in the constitution and the peo
pies rights under them are protected
We are not going to see these rights
made dependent upon the consent o.
will of some public officer"

SAM GOMPERS TRIES
TO PERSUADE Lewis
TO RESUME pARLEY
(By Associated Press)

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 25.-Samuel
Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor, was to arrive in
Philadelphia today for a conference
with John l.. Lewis, president Of the
United Mine Workers in regard to the
anthracite situation. Mr. Lewis was
quoted today as confirming dispatches
saying that Mr.. Gompers intended to
attempt to persuade him to begin new
negotiations with the operators to end
the deadlock which has kept the hard
coal fields idle since April 1.
1t was understood that Mr.. Com
pers has assured President Harding
and Secretary of Labor Davis that he
would do his utmost to bring about an
agreement between the opposing sides
and there was a possibility that he
might have with him a special mes
sage from President Harding to the
miners.
Urge ParIeys Resumed
| Both the departments of labor and
of commerce have been in communica-
! ton with miners and operators here
! by telephone, seeking to persuade
them to reconvene and try to reach
some mutually satisfactory basis for
/ settlement
| So far, however, the stand pat" at
titude of both sides has shown no sign
of being relaxed. The miners continue
! their demand for a two years con
tract and refuse arbitration, while the
! operators stand by their proposal tc
use the anthracite conciliation com
mission as a "fact-finding' body witt
!recommenSatory powers. They also
want a one year contract.

BILL ALLOWS
PRESIDENT TO
WORK MINES
Would Be Authorized, by Con-
demnation or Otherwise, 10
Operate Shafts at His Dis
cretlon by Edge Measure.
CRAVE CONCERN FELT

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25-The presi-
dent would be authorized, within his
discretion, by condemnation or other
government action to end the coal
mines in the country, under an amend
ment to the Borah coal commission
bill proposed today by Senator Edge,
Republican, New Jersey. The amend
ment also would have congress declare
the state of an emergency resulting
from the economic and industrial con-
ditions in the production and distri-
button of coal"
The Borah measure, differing in
some provisions from the Winslow
commission bill passed by the house
Wednesday, proposes a commission Of
five members to investigate the entire
coal industry and make recommends
| tons to congress.
Other Bills Pending
TWO other measures bearing on the
coal situation were pending in the SEN
; ate today. Chairman Cummins of the
senate interstate commerce commit.
tee had called a meeting of his COM
mittee tomorrow to consider the ad-
ministration measure which he Of
| fered yesterday, proposing to create a
federal coal distributing agency which.
working through emergency powers to
be conferred on the interstate COM
merce commission. would control both
coal distribution and prices.
| Also before the same committee was
a resolution introduced by Senator
| Walsh. Democrat, Massachusetts, to
empower the president to take over
and operate the coal mines.
| At the same time, Chairman Wins
low of the house interstate commerce
committee was engaged today on the
| preparation of bill of his own to
enlarge. federal control over the dis
/ tribution of coal He had not indi.
Gated, however, just what provision
the measure would contain.
Long, Heated Debate.
Introduction of The Walsh resolution
followed a long and heated debate in
the senate. during which demands
were made for prompt and drastic
government action to end the Goa
and rail strikes.
Practically all senators who spoks
expressed the opinion that some hard
ship and actual suffering was certain
to result from lack of coal next winter
even should both strikes be settled
dL OACS- OtCIGtdIy I1DON6l5 dI ILiS
same time, however. predicted tha
bituminous coal production next weel
: would increase to 100000 tons, a:
compared with 100000 tens las
week, although he saw difficultte:
ahead unless the rail strike was set
tied at an early date.
Concern Is Felt
The administration is gravely con
cerned over the problem of supplying
the country's fuel needs this winter
Privately administration officials to
day admitted that critical situation
confronts the country.
To an already difficult situation
caused by the coal strike and the e2
haustion of coal reserves during tn
suspension of coal production is ad
ded the deadlock in the railroad strike
Even If the railroad strike wer
settled today the country could no
avoid rationing of coal this winter,
! was admitted. The problem is NO
coal production, but how much Goa
p the carriers can haul, Secretary c
l. Commerce Hoover stated.

Veneer of Civilization
Wearing Very Thin
Says Governor Allen
(By Associated Press)

TOPEKA, Kan, Aug. 25-The We
neer of our civilization is wearing very
thin, Governor H j. Allen, declared
in an address here last night. on the
strike situation ''The reports of
last few days indicate that people are
getting angry. What we need and
need very greatly is a new birth in
the hearts of American citizens touch
ing on their duty to the law. We need
it far worse than we need imEigra
ton laws
''The coal strike brought Us into
contact with the strikers led by the
radical foreign reds" he said. If
were to have to choose the strikers l
deal with, I'd rather have the foreign
reds than the American citizens.
The foreigners hate the government,
but fears it. The tendency of the
American born striker, like too many
American citizens is to have neither
respect nor fear for his government.
Rail Strike Tense
Rather than being about over, the
rail strike now is "at its most tense
period" the governor asserted.
Governor Allen said that President
Hard1ng's recent message to Congress
confirmed the view taken by Kansts
in enacting the Industrial Court Law
that such law needs teeth
9Th Federal Labor board has fail
ed because it lacked the power 10 en-
force its decisions and now the prest
dent would have it equipped with
teeth" he added. THE boards de
cisions virtually were left to public
/ sentiment to enforce them. The gen
eral public is a good natured protep
lastic mass with no power other thar
! passive resistance or the explosion
of righteous indignation-and it doe
not get angry enough

Cool Spell, Forerunner
OF Fall, Due Saturday

A cool spell is coming, says Wealth
erman Moore, which will serve to re-
mind residents of Richmond and
Wayne county that autumn is on the
way. It is expected that the cool
breezes will arrive about Saturday and
last until the middle of the week.
However, we may expect quite a large
number of hot days before the leaves
begin to fall, says Mr Moore.

Irishmen of all classes and creeds
filed past for last look at the features
set in the look of determined defiance
with which the Free State commander

LIMIT THEIR POWER.

Agitation the past month under the
auspices Of organized labor has given
wide publicity to the usurped power
Of courts. -.
This question has been discussed be-
fore, but never has it been presented
to so many citizens in such concrete
and, effective form. -.
More people now know sthat scourt
usurpation started in 1903 when John
Marshall, chief justice Of the United
States supreme court, announced in the
Marbury case that it is emphatically
the province and duty of the judicial
department to say what the law is.''
By itself the. Marbury case amount
ed to nothing. It involved the appoint
ment to minor office and recalled
differences between John Adams, re-
firing president, who believed in a
centralized government, and Thomas
Jefferson, incoming presidentj who be-
leved in the people.
What made the. Marbury case fa-
nous was Chief Justice MARSHALL IS
statement that the court has the pow
er to review acts of congress. +.
Marshall made this decision despite
the fact that on four separate occa-

to note that no one is forced to enter
an athletic contest; while necessity

the athlete jailed if he refuses to abide
by the umpire's award. The educator
shows his lack Of "sporting blood'
when he permits athletes to have a
voice in selecting the umpire, while
the worker is denied this privilege
and is then jailed if 3e refuses to ac'
cept the decision.

ELIOT A SPORTSMAN?

Eliot, president emeritus Of Harvard
university, wants the industrial ques-
tion treated as football match, with
an umpire to give a t,tquick decision -
which workers must accept or 60 to
Jail. He is quoted in the New York
Times as favoring the injection Of the
sporting element into the question of
wages and working conditions.
The educator trots out the ancient
scheme Of, compulsory arbitration, but
the nostrum is sugar coated as fol.
lows: 'The popular athletic sports in
the United States have shown to mill.
ions Of the American people the true
method of supplying arbitration for
hot disputes"
Under his scheme the president or
cabinet would select the usual "dis'
interested umpiren where q federal
strike is threatened. The umpire would
make his decision quickly, as is done
in athletic contests.

LABOR FOR MEXICO,

Three resolutions calling for recog.
milton Of the government of Mexico
were adopted by the American Fed
Grafton of Labor CONVENTION in Gin
cinnati.
These resolutioss set forth in the
strongest terms the good faith of the
present government of Mexico. They
recite the story of Mexico's difficult
ties and Of her heroic efforts under
the Obregon administration to rehabil-
itate herself and to keep faith with
the world.
The friendship Of the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor was first manifested
when Fraternal Delegate Vargas spoke
representing the Mexican Federation
of Labor. Then, in the adoption of the
resolutions calling for recognition, the
convention again expressed it's deep
conviction that recognition should be
a. once forthcoming.
The resolutions call upon the Amer
lean administration to act Immediate
ly in extending recognition to a
friendly government that has not only
kept its pledges to the United States
but that has accomplished amazing
things in behalf Of its own people.
At the moment when all conditions
appeared most favorable the kidnap-
ing of Bruce Bielaski took place, to-
gether with the kidnapping of a num-
ber Of Americans and Englishmen at
the Cortex oil we'll near Tampico.
These escapades apparently were the
work either Of out and out adventur-
ers bent on money making or they
were the work Of rival oil groups. In
no case had they any of the appear
ance Of revolutionary activities. It is
not likely that they will affect the
course of international relations.
Recognition is due Mexico and
American labor's demand is both time
ly and just.

SHIP SUBSIDY QUESTIONABLE.

It is to be hoped that Republican
congressman, who haye taken a vaca-
tion until Aug. Is, when there was
plenty of work to keep them in Wash
ington, will follow the advice of Pres
ident Harding and try to learn the
views of their constituents concerning
the ship subsidy bill. If they do there
will be no ship subsidy bill passed by
this congress, and no one will be Sc.
riously disappointed except Chairman
Lasker, the Shipping Trust and Presi-
dent Harding.
In order to aid the Republican con-
gressmen in learning the view OF
their constituents on the ship subsidy
bill we suggest that they ask them the
following questions: =
1. Do you wish the government to
turn over to the Shipping Trust 3d.

them steel, and IS per cent Of them
