agriculture, the Glass banking re-
form bill was brought up under pre-
vious agreement for debate in the
senate.
That bill, sponsored by the vir-

it would create q Notwithstanding

Born In Vermont
Born and reared IN the humble
surroundings of Vermont farm,
Calvin Coolidge was destined to 20
BY successive steps to the highest and
mightiest office of great nation, to
administer its affairs for six years
and to terminate his presidential
career virtually of his own volition.
To the vice-presidency and to the
presidency, he brought a shrewd
common sense, quiet personality in
vivid contrast with some of his pre-
decessors, q keen native wit and
many homely likes and dislikes re-
tanned from his New England boy
hood.
Among his supporters he inspired
an ardent admiration and from his
political opponents he often received
the bitterest of denunciations. But
there were, nevertheless, many in the
latter group who valued his friend
ship and liked to smoke q cigar with
him and talk things over.
Reaching the presidency upon the
death Of Warren G. Harding in 1923,
Mr.. Coolidge was confronted with
problems Of rehabilitation arising
from the World War and the depres-
sion of 1921, and almost at once the
country was shaken by the scandals
which were revealed in the naval oil
leases. the justice department and
the office Of the custodian of alien
property.
With serenity and calmness he
rode out these storms and meanwhile
instituted policy Of governmental
economy and mutual helpfulness in
assisting Europe to work out its post
war problems. Such was the success
Of this program that when he ran for
president in 1924 he was returned to
office by popular plurality OF 7,000.-
600. the greatest that had been ac-
corded candidate for the presi-
dency up to that time.
The manner Of his leaving the
presidency aroused q national inter-
est comparable with that Df his in

ton, Mass, to occupy the same modest
house where they started life In 1905

was widespread opinion that II Mr.

This confusion was clarified by Mr..
Coolidge IN an address before the
Republican National Committee the
following December. In six crisp
sentences which were added at the
last minute to prepared speech. the
president declared that he had "elim-
mated" himself entirely from the
presidential race and advised the par
ty to continue the serious task Of Sc

Notified Delegations
But Mr.. Coolidge did not stop there.

DIES MONIES, Ia, Sept. 13.-Ef-
forts Of Lewis, and Wilson, of the
United Mine Workers of America to
force the 5000 striking Iowa miners
back to the pits failed when the
strikers at meeting Monday voted
to continue to fight against the slav-
cry provisions of the MIRA.
Alarmed at this show of militancy
the U.MWA. officials threatened
disciplinary action.
Nevertheless, in spite OF this threat,
delegates were elected TO a confer
ence Friday for the purpose of dew
clipping further plans for the con-
tinuance of the strike. A committee
of progressive miners was also cleo
ted TO supervise the building of a
strong picket line.
However, one Of the members of
the committee, Bob Heathcote. has
by his beaurocratic action in keep
ing all National Miners Union, and
Daily Worker representatives from
the picket line sabotaged the strug-
gle. This, in spite Of vigorous pro-
tests from the rank and file, who are
voraciously grabbing up Daily
Workers" for news OF the Utah and
New Mexico strikes.
Miners were enraged at the lying
stories, in the local press, that they
had returned to work.
