action being an expression Of the
preference of the capitalistic
class. it has been quite as much
opposed by those who speak for
employers as it is by you and
your associates. Government un-
dertakes to represent neither
class alone. and is opposed to all
conflict among classes. and dis
putes the right OF any group or
class. organized or unorganized,
to imperil American welfare.
Government speaks only for the
American people as a whole and
the common good of all its citi-
zenship.
In view of all that the govern
ment has done or attempted to
do during the past year and a
half to relieve the American
farmer from the burdens Of re-
adjustment and to relieve labor
from the hardships of unemploy-
ment, l know your attempted ap-
peal to American prejudice will
fall upon deaf ears. 1t is as un-
grateful as it is untruthful. II
you are the believer in peace and
harmony and the reign of justice
which you would have me be-
ieve, i invite you now to pass
judgment on the failure of the
mine-workers to accept the
awards of an able and impartial
commission in determining the
merits of the dispute between coal
miners and coal operators, and
invite you to urge the striking
railway workmen to accept the
decision of the American Rail-
road Labor Board. acting under
authority of the law, which must
be supreme. and return to work
under that decision until you and
1, and everyone else interested in
American welfare. may Join in
asking the Railroad Labor Board
TO give rehearing on any ques-
tlon concerning which there is
reasonable doubt about the cor
rectness or the. justice of the de-
cision made. These are the ways
OF peace; these are the REQUIRE
ments Of enlightened civilization.
these are the things expected by
your government of its loyal and
law-abiding citizenship.

catcher" said Daddy, looked very
much alike.
They both wore a grayish olive suit
with dull brown touches on the wings
and tall. They wore gray feathers at
their threats, and these mingled with
yellowish feathers for their front
feathers.
The feathers on top of their heads
stood rather straight up, which Is a
FAMILY habit, and which has given
them this name of theirs.
"Or rather, this has given them part
OF the name, and the other part you
can guess.
Yes, II Is quite true that they are
great fiycatchers, and are very sue
cessful in getting their insect dinners
and luncheons and breakfasts-for II
doesn't matter in what order we speak
of their meals.
"They do not care so long as they
have nice meals
'They are around all summer, and
they have quite interesting ways.
They always have their nests lined
with an old snake skin, and some
people say that this is why their
feathers stand on end.
For when they first arrive In the
nest and see such kind of bedding
their feathers go straight up In horror
and surprise, and so stay up!
But this is not supposed to be the
real reason. This is given as a rather
funny reasonl
THE real reason IS that this will
brighten creatures who would come to
the nests TO hurt the little Flycatch-
ers, or rather the little Great-Fly-
catchers. For Great-Crested Flycatch-
ers are their names, whether they're
babies or grown-ups.
"They find the old snake skins that

old ones.
For snakes, unlike people, do not
hand their old garments to each other
to wear-the little brothers and SIS
ters in the snake families don't have
to wear the old skins of the bigger
brothers and sisters
mo, an old skin is not used by an
other snake for wearing!

or the Bluebird family have decided
to build, they will drive the other fam
lily away and use the beginnings Of

Both Mr.. and Mrs. Great-Crested
Flycatcher are just alike.
Neither Of them believe in letting
anyone get the better of them.
IF anything like that Is going to
happen they're going to be the ones
who get the better Of others!
"They each like It, because the
other is the same way-yes, Mr.. and
Mrs. Great Crested Flycatcher are
very, very much alike in ways as we'll
as in looks.

Great Crested Flycatcher to his mate.
"'And l like yours" said his mate.
