NATIONAL SONG
IS APPROVED
BY.WOMEN
Club Federation Makes De-
tense Of "The Star-Spangled
Banner"
InsernstIons, Ssws Service.

CHICAGO, Dec. 21.-Angered at
repeated efforts from some sources
to repudiate the Star. .Spangied
Banner" as the national song Of
the United States. the music d.
vision of the General Federation OF
Women's Clubs has broadcasted In.
structions to the chairmen Of its
sub-organizations TO support Fran
els Scott Keys famous compost
ton.
Two principal objections to the
song, the letter points out. have
been that the music In taken from
"Anacreon in Heaven" an old
English drinking song popular at
the time of the Amerivan Revolu.
ton. and. secondly, that the third
verse contains the words, breath.
ing hatred OF our ally, Great Brit.
ain.'
"If we should become purists In
music" the letter says In .efuta-
tion Of these charges, I'VE should
have to eliminate from our hym-
nails many German drinking songs
brought into the service by Mar
tin Luther, but now. through a.
sociation, considered sacred hymns.
"The first two and last verses
Of The Star-Spangled Banner are
those always sung. The third
verse, breathing hatred OF our al
ly, Great Britafn,' has not been
sung in America in years."

EV|CT|0NO Of
MINERS
Strikers Paying Nominal
Rental Must Seek Shelter
Elsewhere.

CUMBERLAND. Nd. Dec. 21.-
Judge Albert A Dpub, on the ap-
peal Of twelve striking miners from
the decision of Justice John r..
Workman. of Frostburg, who or.
dered them to vacate houses owned
by the Consolidation Coal Company,
affirmed the action Of the magis.
trate yesterday and directed the
Issuance of q writ Of restitution to
Sheriff Peter Mcfarland to re-
store possession Of the premises
to the Consolidation Coal Company
and to assess the costs to the va
rious defendants.
The decision affects George H.
Stevens, Clarence Stevens. John w.
Lewis. Ernest r. Seifert, George
Correlli, John 8. Marshall, Thomas
Lewis, Eugene Smith. Michael Dom
ahue, Hugh Donahue, and Webster
Trott. Tho houses are located at
Eckhart. Zihlman, and Hoffman,
and in several instances the miners
to be elected have lived in them
since childhood.
The tenants are strikers who re.
fuse to work, and In most in.
stances are back in their rent, be.
ing nominal amounts of from 81 to
IS month. The company wants
possession Of the houses for men
who desire to work in the mines.
This Ia the first time In many
years that the Consolidation Coal
Company has evicted men who re-
fused to work during q strike and
who have defaulted In the rental.
Heretofore, in strikes. the coal
company has been most lenient, has
kept up the properties, II IL de.
clared, and has asked but q nomi.
nal rental.
The houses run four, five, and
or frame. some have several acres
of ground with sheds, stables. and
other outbuildings. They were
dependent companies for their mine,
weigh, and stable foremen.
It 10 declared by neutral resi-.
dents In the community that for
years the coal company has simply
asked a nominal rental, and that
the houses are always In demand
and few are vacant. Miners living
In rented houses In Frostburg and
elsewhere pay a much higher
amount per month. Just whore the
families to be evicted will see k
shelter In unknown. AZ there are
no empty houses In the communi.
ties whore they live and very few
In Frostburg. a
