 There appears to be we'll defin- ed movement among a certain class of coal operators and coal companies throughout the country to force a revision of the Jacksonville agree ment has been under way for the last several months. It has centered in and around West Virginia and certain parts of other coal mining fields.
 "The attack on the Jacksonville agreement and the present wage scale of the mine workers of the country will fail. America will not permit anything of the kind to hap pen. There is not going to be any reduction in wages.
 "It is but just to state that as far as is known, the operators who are parties to the Jacksonville agree ment are taking part in the at tempts to discard that document. The effort is being made by coal companies in outlying fields and not by those of the central competitive fields who are under the Jackson vile agreement"

DEFENCE DAY
BIG SUCCESS
Local Community Does It's
Best to Prepare
Defense

Kennewick entered into the spirit
of the day last Friday by mobilizing,
paying homage to the flag and In
general, needing the call of the war
department which had authority un-
der the defense act to call upon civil
ians to demonstrate to the world that
this country could rise and defend
itself when called upon to do so.
The affairs of the day ran smooth
ly according to the program outlined
in last weeks issue of this paper.
The flag was saluted at eight in the
morning, the parade, with the school
children, defenders, and boy scouts
marched to the M. E. church square
and the program was held.
DR.. A. G. fuller spoke on Health
as National Duty" He pointed out
that race after race had fallen before
attacks by less intelligent, but more
powerful races in physique. DR.. Tul-
Ter cited the records of the late war
to show that America as a nation
cannot longer afford to neglect the
national health, and advised frequent
examinations by everyone to prevent
slight ailments from becoming SER
ious diseases.
Hon. Mark M. Moulton state rep
resentative made a masterful argu-
ment in defense of the position taken
by the war department in calling up
on the citizens to enlist for day.
He pointed out the penalty in men
and dollars that unpreparedness had
cost this country in the past. He ex-
pressed the opinion that America
would never except in defense at
tack foreign country.
Mr.. Moulton pointed out that but
ten short years had passed since the
greatest of wars had occurred, and
it would be folly for us to presume
that the races of the world had under
gone any change that made such q
thing an impossibility for the future.
"Until we have an all powerful in
ternational court to settle disputes"
said Mr.. Moulton, "this country must
keep itself in a state of reasonable
preparedness"
