THEY DON'T ALL AGREE


Not all public officials agree with
President Harding, as replies to his
telegram to % governors clearly show
The president wired the governors
saying he had invited the mine own
ers to open their mines, asking the
governors to cooperate and assuring
federal strength wherever needed.
Two governors sent back word that
is worth listening to.
Governor Albert C. Ritchie, of
Maryland, sent the president lengthy
telegram explaining carefully his rea-
sons for declining to agree to the
presidents program.
"The traditions of this state" said
Governor Richie, "are those of a
people who have settled such mat
ters as these without the aid of bay
onettes and rifles. 1t is nearly 80
years since our militia has been used
for purpose of this kind"
Continuing his telegram the gov
ernor said, "the presence of troops
is often not the assurance of secur-
ity, but the provocation of serious
trouble"
Governor Morrison, of North Car
olina, was equally emphatic.
"Your position is practically to use
the power of the government against
the strikers" he said in his telegram,
"and in the enforcement of police
regulations and the upholding of the
law the strikers will naturally have
little confidence in the impartiality
or fairness of soldiers or other agen-
cies of force directed by government
which has taken a decided stand
against them, however good the rea-
son such stand may be-"
Though not a direct response to
the presidents activities in the strike,
the attitude taken by William Allen
White editor of the Emopria Gazette
at Emporia, Kan.) is a rebuke never
the less to the policy of the federal
government as we'll as to the govern
ment of Kansas, since there is no
difference between those policies. The
Kansas court of industrial relations
has ordered resumption of mining
and railroad activities.
Friends of the strikers in Kansas
have been displaying placards bear
ing sympathetic messages. The at
torney general of the state has ruled
that these placards violate the state
and industrial and anti-syndicalism
laws.
Upon learning of this, Editor
White placed in the window of his
newspaper office one Of the placards
expressing 49 per cent sympathy for
the striking railroad workers, saying
that he would add one per cent each
day the strike continued.
In his newspaper Mr.. White ex-
planned his position in the following
language, since the publication of
which he has been arrested:
"The order of the industrial court
is an infamous infraction of the right
of free press and free speech. Ger
tainly it has not come to pass in
this country that man may not say
what he thinks about an industrial
controversy without disobeying the
law.
IF the government desires to make
a test case, here it is"
These are emphatic words-words
that show the drift of thoughtful
They show that the whole nation is
not for rush of arms to enforce
involuntary servitude. They show
that there are officials and citizens

CLERGYMAN TALKS PLAIN

Peoria, Ill.--When the public dis
cusses the high cost of living, the
workers wages and not the greed of
employers is given publicity, said
Rev. Ivans Chatten, pastor of Hale
Memorial church. The Clergyman
scored exploiters who make from so
to 269 per cent on the toll of their
employees "and are yet unwilling to go
$3.50 with wage earners."

HE LEARNED SOMETHING

One of our county commissioners
asked the people for another term
He is one of the fellows who seemed
to think the great majority of the
Butler county taxpayers don't know
what is good for them so turned down
request of theirs. He asked for
another term, but the load of the re-
fusal of request for bridge at
Coke Otto was too heavy and he went
down to defeat. He played Middle
town and few farmers against Ham
ilton and big majority of the farm
ers for politics, but he now knows
that Middletown and a few farmers
don't control the county. He is sad
der but much wiser.

DUTIES PUBLIC CANNOT IGNORE
"The public cannot repudiate it's
duties and at the same time insist
on its rights" declares the Catholic
Standard and Times, in a leading edi-
torial which exposes the unfairness
of those who talk about "the right of
the public" in strike times, but never
refer to the duties of the public when
no strike is on.
"The public, of course, resents the

who value American principles too
much to see them wantonly thrust
aside.
These are words of wisdom thrust
opportunely into a rush of muddle-
headedness.
~ "a "a IA ~
1t costs $4,000 year to clothe, feed
and house an American soldier, just
twice as much as before the war. If
it takes that amount to keep single
man fit to fight, how much should be
required to feed, clothe and shelter
the American workman so that he
may be fit to work?
pa M M IN m
The way the voters lambasted the
special tax measure at the election
Tuesday, leads one to think that the
question of taxes is not popular
one with the Hamilton people.

Well, she's over, meaning the pri-
mary election, and the "peepul" OF
the community can once more get
down to their peaceful pursuits.

THERE'S A REASON
1t may be noticed from time to
time in the daily papers that the rail
road managers report that the rail
shop forces are "now at about nor
NAL" Sure thing, everybody knows
that. That is the reason for the big
advertisements appearing daily in
the big newspapers calling for all
kinds of rail shopmen.

SHOP MEN
Defended By Mexican Work
erS

Washington.-Mex trade union
lists are urging workers to stay away
from the United States during the
railroad shop mems strike, according
to letters to Canute A. Vargas, secre-
tary of the Pan-American Federation
of Labor. Mass meetings in sympa-
thy with the shop men have been held
throughout Mexico In conveying
this information to President Com
pers, Secretary Vargas said:
II have also received copies of two
lengthy manifestos issued by the
working people of the republic of
Mexico, one issued by the Machinists'
National Union of Mexico and the
other by the Railway Trades Fedora
tion of the Mexican republic, in which
the Mexican workers are urged to aid
the cause of the striking miners and
railroad workers of the United States
by staying away from the United
States at this particular time, thus
thwarting the efforts of recruiting
agents who are attempting to secure
Mexican workers and ship them to the
north as strikebreakers."
San Antonio, Texas.-The general
consul of Mexico, located in this city,
has warned Mexican workers that if
they accept employment in the United
States as strikebreakers, they do so
at their own risk

WHY;
Discharge of Oil Waste Into

charging oil ana tar wastes into
streams and hurhnrS. and its effect on
fish AMI fish industries, i sirkinEly

substances rejected by gas plants and

result in huge losses of food prod

distinctly understood that the presence
