JACKSON, Mich, Feb. Henry
Ford was compIimented for his great
ness and humanity" in a keynote
speech" at the annual convention Of
the Michigan State Federation of La
Dor at Jackson.
The speech was delivered in stilted
and frequently ungrammatical English
by none other than William Collins,
general organizer for the American
Federation of Labor, assigned to the
Detroit district for a 40-week's organi-
cation campaign.
Here is the way Brother Collins
aroused the workers to etxend THEN
unions to the huge shops of the Ford
Motor. Co. with its unprecedented
speed-up system:
Here in our state we have fine EN-
ployers like Mr.. Ford and others, who
are supposed to pay good wages and
take care of the personal welfare of
their employees. Let us look into this
subject and we will find that Mr..
Ford has got about as much time to
look after or know the actual opera
ton of his plant from human point,
as any executive of a large manufac-
turing corporation. Many are the
letters OF Complaints that are sent to

BERLIN, Feb. 1.-THE execution Of
the Dawes plan may pave the way
for the Bolshevization Of Germany,
is given in an article by the English
bourgeois economist, John Maynard
Keynes, published today by the LokaI
Anzeiger.
Under the caption, "The second

Keynes says that while the first year
of the Dawes plan was plain sailing,

transfer committee must turn a deficit

The professor declares the activity
Of the transfer committee must be con-
,entrated on lowering the standard

Keynes. as a capitalist apologist,
observes what has been plain to all
revolutionists-that the Dawes plan,
instead Of stabilizing conditions in
Germany will help to make the lot
of the working class much worse.
For the workers there is but one
way out and that is revolution. OF
course the liberation of the workers
appears as calamity to the cap

The opening statement for the
prosecution was masterpiece of eva
sion. The cause of the whole trouble
was not mentioned. The fight of the
miners against the sell-out of their in
terests by Fox, Cobb & Co. to the
operators, the attempt at terrorization
of the membership with the aid of the
ku klux khan, the murder of Mike
Sarovich by Alex Hargis, klansman
and supporter of the Fox-Cobb-Far-
rington machine, the shielding Of
Hargis by this gang, and the thousand
and one other assaults against the
rank and file miners was not men
toned.
Union Miners Called "Mob."
Instead the states attorney attempt
ed to make it appear that Fox and
Cobb were upright officials of the
union who were set upon by mob"
Fox used the word on the stand
while in the performance of their
duty.
! The foreigner" issue was dragged
in by the prosecution by the state
ment that Stanley Paurez ended a
speech in English BY saying some
thing in foreign language" which
precipitated the attack on Cobb at the
union meeting on Aug. IL last year.
The opening statement for the de-
Tense raised the real issues by recit-
ing the facts of the miners struggle
with the company to force accurate
weighing of their coal, how Fox and
Cobb had lined up with the company
and deposed Henry Corbishly and the
other progressive local officials at the
demand OF the company.
The dastardly murder of Mike Saro-
vich by Hargis was also told to the
jury and promise made that it would
be proven up to the hilt. The des-
perate efforts Of the officialdom to pro-
tect their tool Harris is one Of the
reasons for the present trial. BY util-
izing the courts to frame up and rail-
road these miners they expect to dis
tract attention to their own crimes,
and get rid of those who fight for the
miners interests.

proven to be well coached pack of

MONROE COUNTY SPIRIT
palm Beach POST

The people of Florida, as well as the people of
the entire nation, cannot help but admire the ex-
cellent spirit Of Monroe county inhabitants that
causes them to dig down in their pockets for more
than is million dollars to build one line of high
way. It is costly highway but very necessary
one; and when things necessary their cost should
not stand in the way.
The highway will reach from Key West to the
Florida mainland Long stretches of it win be over
water, calling for engineering skill Of the same
character as that employed by the Florida East
Coast Railway Company in extending the Flagler
System from the mainland to the Monroe county
capital An option was given last week to an
engineering firm to construct three bridges this
important roadway at price of IL million dollars.
and more than three million dollars will be required
to build the rest OF the road. When completed.
the far-famed Dixie highway which forms one Of
the principal thoronghfares in practically each city
and town along the coast from jacksonville south
ward. win end at Key West.
Monroe county Is not among the richest coun-
ties in the state but say that il Is lacking
in spirit and grit II Is setting example in
achievement for all OF the state and all Of the
south. Palm Beach county must not think that
building Military Trail IS great task when Monroe
county undertakes = job six or eight times more
costly and far more difficult.

COMPULSORY CHAPEL

Movements are under way in a number Of
the colleges to do away with the rule by which
students are required to attend chapel services
daily. Many parents who feel that religion is one
Of the most essential fields Of inquiry for a
student win be sorry to see this old custom given
up. Knowledge is not much use unless inspired
BY. higher ideals.
And yet some students become 50 bored BY
this constant attendance that after graduation
they quit attending church altogether. The old
saying is that while YOU can drive horse to water
you can't make him drink. Fine thing If he win
drink but hardly wise to force IT down his throat
against his win.

KEY VESTS OPPORTUNITY

&
Here is Key Vests golden opportunity to sit at
the fount of knowledge and there to learn how to
go to work for the good of its future self.
In our news columns this afternoon viii be
found comprehensive article upon the 18th Ma
tional Conference of City Planners to be held in
ST. Petersburg the last three days of March, and
which will end its sessions in West Palm Beach
on April 1.
The subject matter of this conference, Zoning
and City Planning, is not new to the North, nor to
the Middle West, nor to the West, but in large
measure it is new to Florida and the South. 1t
has attracted in the few years since America has
known it the best minds in architecture, in econ
omics, in engineering in landscaping, in building
construction and in development. The subject has
been brought very strongly to the attention of this
city through articles prepared specifically for The
Citizen and printed last summer, and more recently
in al address given before the Key West Women's
Club in February. The articles were written and
the address was made by that good friend of Key
West, Frank W. Lowering, member of the City
Boston.
The tremendous necessity Of Key Vests
preparation now for what it is certainly going to
be in the next decade or even less, has been pre-
sented to our thinking people at a time when the
Island Citys growth is new and the topic here, is
brand new.
The Citizen thoroughly agrees with every word
the matter of municipal preparedness in planning.
The Citizen thoroughly believes the time is
ripe, because Key West is on the march.
The Citizen is in complete accord with all
which c. w. Barron, eminept financial publisher and
a recent visitor here has written for his valuable
newspapers in New York and Boston as to what
is in store for Key West.
The Citizen believes this city cannot move too
early in such a pregnant matter, particularly be-
cause it is evident that a contract to build the
bridges across the two wide water gaps in the
Road to the Mainland-much of which is already
under way--will be let within few months,
satisfactory proposition having been put before
March, and survey already about to be begun.
The Citizen believes competent City Plan
expert for Key West should be selected without
toward delay.
The Citizen believes an able representative
should be delegated to attend the impending Ma
tional City Planning Conference in st. Petersburg
and West Palm Beach.
And above ALL The Citizen believes this repres-
entative should be member of the Key West
Womens Club because the Women's Club is far
seeing and non-politicai, and city planning is
forward and non-political movement for the
greatest good for the greatest number
Any Women's Club in any community, work
ing shoulder to shoulder for the best interests Of
that community is the strongest force the greatest
constructive force that can be put behind any
ment for the civic good.
"There is tide. which at its turn leads to
prosperity"
