scorched Fire also started near
the cottage of Supt W. A. Hayes,
but was quickly put out.
The Baraboo fire department
reached the scene of the threaten
ed conflagration just in time to save
many other cottages in the path of
the flames. Chemicals were used
to good advantage.
When the blaze flared up. from
the stove in the Timlin cottage,
Miss Timlin rushed for a pail of
water and when she returned the
cottage was burning fiercely. L. p.

man on the scene and gave what

tried in Dane county OF all the
cases coming into the circuits OF
Dane county about, one-half are

business of the courts.
The object of the law he ex-
planned, it to establish justice be-

arise. In England the court Of

fairly clear, it is to prevent the call
ing out of the maintenance men ana
the bituminous miners at all costs
while working overtime to disrupt the
strike, discourage the miners and Sc
cure an acceptance of terms which
will make of the union mere eff
cheney agency for the bosses.
The left wing must make every eff
fort to overcome this offensive, ac-
quaint the miners with the danger
and organize the rank and file for the
most stubborn kind OF resistance. A
defeat for the anthracite miners is a
defeat for the whole labor movement
and more disastrous than all the other
results will be the fact that such a
defeat will be administered In the
name of victory for the gospel OF

ers. The incident Of the community

sample of the manner in which this

No More Autocracy.
But one point was made clear. In

to bring this recommendation up to
the board. The Joint Board report
was accepted and nominations fol-
lowed, both for the local and the Joint

The next order of business was the
question of who was responsible for
the sluggings. But no sooner did the
local finish nominations, than the
president declared the meeting adj

Chicago Bankers Sheet
Startled at Communist
Criticism of Coolidge
BY }. LOUIS ENoDAHL.

TODAY, the Chicago Daily News
4 considers it of sufficient import
ance to have the viewpoint of the
Russian Communist daily, Pravda,
on Coolidge's recent speech, rush
ed by radio from Moscow to Chi
cago. In fact, the big Chicago daily
newspaper, that its late owner, Vic
tor F. Lawson, turned over to La
Sale street bankers, is quite start
led that the Pravda should give four
columns on it's first page to a sum
mary and editorial opinion of what
Cautious Cal" had to say to the
money men of New York City.
To be sure, what the Daily News
publishes is just gasp in ten lines,
to the effect that the headline in
the Pravda declared. America is
Saving Europe from Revolution"
with this short quotation
Coolidge sings hymn TO the
dollar. America is the buIwark Of
the world counter-revoIution."
WHEN the Pravda puts quotation
w marks around saving" it ridi-
cules the idea that American dol
lars can save capitalism in western
Europe from the wrath of its OPP
pressed workers and farmers. All
that Coolidge can do is to take the
credit for the American dollar,
claiming it has so far STAYED off
the inevitable.
TT is interesting to note that the
L Chicago capitalist daily had to
go to a Communist publication to
find any disagreement with an at
tack on Coolidge's utterances.
There is no disagreement in the
ranks of the profit press. The ap-
plause of the harlot dailies differs
only in degree.
Thus the Chicago Journal, which
is democratic in politics, declares
that what Coolidge said in his adj
dress had been uttered better and
more frequently by Woodrow Viii
son, even before he became presi-
dent. The Journal confesses that
the best thing Coolidge said at New
York was the following:
"WhiIe it is true that the govern
ment ought not to be and is not
committed to certain methods of
acquisition which, while partakine
of the nature of unfair practices,
try to masquerade under the guise
Of business, the government is and
ought to be thoroIy committed to
every endeavor of production and
distribution which is entitled to be
designated as true business"
TINE Journal, however, declares
4 that the best that Coolidge did
in his New York speech was cheap
buncombe compared with the word

COOLIDGE To
REF6JE Lewis
PLEA, REPORT
COnfers With Green
Over His Message

WASHINGTON, o. c., Nov. "a
President Coolidge has intimated
that he will pay no more attention to
John L. Lewis's second hint Of q
strike in the bitumInous mines than
he did the first hint given more than
two months ago.
Lewis letter, asking if the miners
were not justified in choosing their
own measures to enforce the Jack
sonville agreement if the government
did not intervene to compel the op-
orators to abide by the contract, was
placed on Calls desk. He conferred
with Hoover, Attorney General Sar-
gent and even with William Green,
head of the A. F. of L., it is under
stood.
VIII Get Refusal.
Evidently, Coolidge does not view
Lewis assertions and threats as of
any Importance, since Lewis makes
no move really to call a general
strike. His answer has not yet been
composed, but it is foretold that
Lewis will get a refusal to intervene.
This does not mean that Coolidge
is opposed on principle to government
intervention in strikes. On the con-
trary he is going to ask congress in
his coming annual message for spe-
cific authority to break strikes by
government intervention.
Let the Operators Do II.
In this case, tho, he feels that the
operators can break the union with
out his assistance. The only possible
danger to this program is the de-
mands of the progressive miners to
call out the maintenance men and let
the mines be flooded, or, to extend
the strike to the soft coal fields.
Coolidge does not think Lewis
really wants to make a 100 per cent
strike in the anthracite by. with
drawing the maintenance men, any
more than he thinks Lewis was SER
iously intending to call out the BIZ
luminous miners to enforce the
Jacksonville agreement.
Nothing was revealed by Coolidge
or William Green as to what Green's
position was upon the matter of Coo
lidge asking authority from consress
to intervene in all strikes he feels
like.

DETROIT Police
FILLED BREINER
JRING RIOTING?
PatrOlmGn Admits He
Fired Tue Shots

DETROIT, Nov. "a. During the
course of the trial Of DR.. osslan H..
Sweet and 10 eo-defendants for the
alleged murder Of Leon E. Breiner,
who was in a mob of white ruffians
that stoned the home of the Negro
doctor, Clarence barrow, noted Chi
cago lawyer, brought out that PATROL
man Frank Lee Gill had fired two
shots at the Sweet residence on that
night.
The patrolman was forced to admit
on cross-examination that he had fired
two shots at one Of the Negro resi-
dents whom he saw on the upper rear
porch. DR.. Sweet admitted that he
had number of pistols in the house
and also shotgun, in order to defend
himself, if it were necessary, since he
had been threatened by an organ
ization Of white landlords who threat
ened him with death if he did not sell
his new home to them and leave the
neighborhood, but that on the night
that Breiner was slain that none of
the occupants Of the house had fred
the shot.
The defense had a photographer
come before the trial with number
Of Photographs to show that Breiner
could not have been killed by shot
fired from the house but that the pa
trolman, who admits firing at the
house, must have slain Breiner.
Police Shoot Breiner?
The photographer Stephen Tickey,
introduced a number of pictures
which shows the possibility that the
patrolman may have slain Breiner
during the rioting.
The police that were at the house
at the time of the raid attempted to
make it appear as tho there had been
no trouble at the Sweet residence and
that the Sweets had purposely shot
Breiner. The state in its attempt to
convict the IL Negroes for the murder
was given setback when, under
cross-examination, the police were
forced to admit that they had con-
siderable trouble in dispensing the
mob.

LEWIS and CHAIRMAN
or COMMITTEE CONFER
SECRETLY; BOSSES MEET

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. "a If
John L. Lewis is going to carry on
a war against the mine operators,
he is choosing a peculiar way to
battle. At least the fact that he
was closeted for several hours in
secret consultation with J. Elvin
MarkIe, chairman Of the joint COM
mittee of anthracite operators and
of the miners, does no more than
add to the impression that his sug-
gestion that he may call strike
of bituminous miners is only
bluff.
The two met and conferred at the
Union League Club, and neither
would reveal what had been dis
cussed. 1t was learned, however,
that the policy committee Of the
operators had met during the day
and, also in secret, had discussed
the strike. The two conferences
are seen to have a connection.
