President Letcis of the United
Nine Workers' Union hds recently
disqualified 10 striking unions IN
the anthracite district for an un-
Io,otnI strike. He heresoS*h sets
forth his reasons for his drastic
action.
The action Of the International
Union in revoking charters Of some
ten local unions for going on an IL
legal strike in the anthracite field is
In accordance with the sound public
and contractual policies Of the or
ganization. This action automatical-
ly suspends from membership some
twelve thousand mine workers who,
for two weeks, have been engaged
in an unauthorized and unwarrantsd
strike contrary to the provisions Of
the wage agreement with the an
thracite operators and contrary to
the specific orders of officers OF the
union. Their action was In every re-
spect indefensible and has been large
ly caused by an irresponsible element
who must be made to feel sense of
obligation which membership in the
union imposes upon every individual
member. The United Mine Workers
DeleVe In the principle of collective
bargaining and in preserving the
sanctity of wage contracts It's pro-
gress and growth over a period Of
some "a years has been based upon
adherence to such principles and poll
icieS. Aside from the protection to
which the employers are entitled, the
public interest Is deeply affected, as
an unwarranted interruption affects
the stability of the coal market both
as to production and price. Mutual
confidence between the contracting
parties and the public at large is es-
sential to the growth and perpetuity
Of any trade union and the present
officers Of the United Mine Workers
will punctiliously discharge their OBJ
legations in this respect. Tho over
whelming number Of the members Of
the United Mine Workers are loyal
to their organization and TO their
contracts. Such Incidents as re-
Gently occurred in the Scranton dis
trict are the result of the efforts Of
individuals Of sinister designs and
motives. In any event, those taking
part In such unwarranted procedure
must be made to feel the weight of
their unions displeasure and the NOR
al influence OF the organization will
continue TO be exercised in q man.

Conservatism Adds Another
Triumph at German Polls

and with the growth of this feeling
national thought Is being directed in
definite channels"
AS result of the elections, the New
York World believes Chancellor Marx
Is not delivered from the problems
Of a coalition. But he does find him
self with a coalition that can number
as few as four parties-parties SINH
lar in policy and parties still with
votes enough for majority. That Is
a better position than any moderate
leader has occupied in recent months.
The Reichstag which governed Ger
many during most OF 1924 was elected
in the month OF May. 1t was elected
a week before France went to the
polls, and when the prediction was
general that Poincare would win
victory for his policy OF aggression.
Germany's vote at that time was
predicated on a false assumption. Now
Germany votes again, votes in the
light Of all that has happened since
last May and votes for peace in Eu-
rope, the republic and the Dawes
plan"

Germany must muddle along under

it's precarious parliamentary support.
to function efficiently or to carry on
along q stranght and definite line.
The rise Of two powerful and CO
herent parties from the ruck Of the
milling factions probably will come
later" The Richmond News-Leader
believes: "The friends OF the Dawes
plan will be in power and will hold
to that agreement But the outcome,
while encouragin does not indicate
that the economic policy of the reich
Is established or that the political
situation is stabilized. The reaction
aries are prevented for the present
from destroying the republic, but the
coalition Is not given power to
strengthen the republican institutions
materially"
The election involved a foreign and
q domestic issue according to the
view Of the New York Times, which
observes: THE election was a test
Of sentiment on the Dawes plan and
on the question Of republic or mon
archy. The verdict on the foreign is
sue may be considered as sufficiently
emphatic. Tho other question re-
mains about where 1t was The Ger

Another victory added to the ban
ner of conservatism throughout the
world is seen by American editors as
the result Of the recent elections in
Germany. Defeats administered alike
to the reactionary monarchists and
radical communists many view as a
step toward stability. which will
eventually bring to the republic q
two or three party system. 1ndorse-
ment by the German people Of the
Dawes plan likewise is seen.
Hope, rather than despair. is the
note struck by the German Reichstag
elections" in the opinion of the
Sprin gfeld Mass, Republican, which
says: IF liberalism has failed to tri-
umph. still reaction to monarchy and
absolutism has been cheo&se ed on the
one side, while a plunge toward rev.
olutionary chaos has been averted
on the other. The republic In Ger
many has now survived six tempestu-
GUS years. 1t enjoys the prospect OF
surviving six more" It was evident
from the returns, in the opinion OF
the Louisville Courier-Journal, that
the German people favor the Weinar
constitution over the plan Of the n2-
tionalists for q gradual return to
monarchy; that they prefer 3 con-
tinuation Of the Dawes plan rather
indorse the proposals OF those lead
ers who have championed entrance
into the League OF Nations as the
hope of Germany's return to pre-war
status as a nation"
"The German people have voted for
the continuation of the policy or good
faith on reparations. which Chancel-
lor Marx has followed" says the st.
Paul Dispatch. "They have intrenoh-

further: There were no concrete,
specific issues Of moment before the
voters of Germany in the Reicnstag
elections, but II Is not too ruce to
say that the existence OF the repuo-
lie and, hence, the peace OF Europe

Dallas journal believes. They have

CHICAGO WANTS

MOST|L
Deal Hardly to Go Through
> on Account Of Griffmen's
Lack of Reserve Strength.
By LOUIS A. DOTGHER.

TAMPA, Fla. March 26.-Thd
Griffmen can have Johnny Mostil,
the righthand hitting outfielden
who is holding out from the Chicas
go White Sox, but to obtain him
they must be willing to pass over
Roger Peckinpaugh, their brilliant
shortstop. If the deal hinges on
the inclusion OF Peckinpaugh, It
will fall through, if for no other
reason than because the Washing.
ton Club is sadly in need Of in
fielders and cannot afford to part
with any Of them.
Mostil has refused to join the
the Chicago club. He played center
field last year, hitting for POI, and
is dissatisfied with his salary and
conditions on the club. Because he
is an experienced. righthand hitter,
Bucky Harris has tried to land him.
The chances appear slim so long
as the White Sox insist on obtain.
ing Peckinpaugh, or any other Inc
fielder.
With Ossie Bluege dragging
lame knee around with him, the
reserve strength of the Griffmen
consists of Chick Gagnon. Har.
grave can make a bluff at third
base, but it Is only a bluff. He
can do likewise at first base. Bean,
the Washington semi.pro, lacks
sufficient experience to be retained.
Shirley. the college first sacker, is
an unknown quantity. He may
stick around a while, but how long
nobody knows.
Joe Engel Is Juggling at the leash.
He wants to get away on hunt
for infielders. He realizes that, if
Bucky Harris is to be protected,
infielders must be found somewhere.
Few infielders of any account are
likely to pass the waiver list this
spring until Harris has seen them.
Roger Peckingpaugh is getting
into condition slowly. So far his
famous lame back has not bothered
him, but the first cold day in the
North may send him to the bench
for three or four weeks. With
Gagnon compelled to supplant him,
the Griffs will be absolutely without
infielders for reserve so long as
Bluege's knee is questionable.
