ray, United Mine Workers negoti-
ating chief, announced meeting
tonight of all union delegates to

coal conference.
The $50 scale and policy com.
mitteemen were called back from

erting pressure toward passage of
the Guffey-Vinson coal bill, which
attempts to establish fair trade
practices.
It was reliably reported that
operators. anticipating an in
creased demand for soft coal dur
ing the forthcoming year, were
willing to make certain wage con-
cessions" if they could obtain a
40-hour week.
The unions original demands
called for a five-day week Of 30
hours, vacations with pay, guar
antee of 200 working days a year
at q basic daily wage rate Of $500.
. Operators are asking an exten-
sion of the working week from IS

RECORDS NOTE
FARM DEBT
REDUCTION
International News Service

Farmers debts in California have
been reduced 44.6 per cent, in Mas
sachusetts an average of 6 per cent
and throughout the country gen.
orally, an average of 25.6 per cent,
records of the Resettlement Ad-
ministration revealed today.
The variance in the rate of
debt reduction was attributed to
the fact that the adjustments
we're made by voluntary, local
committees working with the
farmers and their creditors.
In California the $5,347, ,648
debts Of 877 farmers were reduced
by $2,487,137. In Massachusetts,
debts of $688,433 of ia farmers
were reduced by $41,759.
More than SO per cent of all
cases considered by the voluntary
committee have been adjusted
successfully, acting RA Admins
traitor c. B. Baldwin said, adding:
"This means that both cred
itOrs and debtors recognize that
it is to their mutual advantage
to adjust tOp-heavy debts, con-
tracted in boom times, in line
with the debtors ability to
pay."

The Nations Jester

LIE WAS baptized as Charles
l. l. Farrar Browne but the whole
nation once loved him and laughed
with him under the name of Arte-
mus Ward. Born in Maine in 1884,
Browne served an apprenticeship in
a print shop and then became a
journeyman printer. Finally he
wandered to Cleveland, Ohio, where
he became a local reporter for the
Cleveland Plain Dealer and invented
the character of "Artemus Ward"
supposed to be a travelling show
man, writing to the paper to give
information and to ask for it. Read
ers of that paper roared over art
emus Wards" bad spelling and
humorous descriptions of his ad-
ventures and it was not long until
Browne got a call from New York
to become editor of Vanity Fair,
a comic paper.
But this editorship did not last
long for the wandering foot of the
former journeyman printer soon be-
gan to assert itself. He published
''Artemus Ward, His Book" which
had a phenomenal sale. Then he
took to the lecture platform and
"Artemus Ward" until now a ficti-
tious character, became a living
reality to thousands of readers of his
book in all parts of the United States.
One of Wards devoted readers
was President Lincoln and his book
played a role in an historic scene
at the White House during the Civil
war. In September, 1862, Lincoln
called a meeting of his cabinet
members whom he astonished by
reading excerpts from Wards book.
When they failed to join in his
laughter, Lincoln threw down the
book and said Gentlemen, why don't
you laugh? With the fearful strain
that is upon me night and day, if
I didn't laugh, 1 should die and you
need the medicine as much as do"
He then told them the real pur-
pose of the meeting which was to
read to them a paper he had pre-
pared and which he proposed to
issue when the time was ripe. That
paper was the Emancipation Proc
lamation. When he had finished
reading it, Secretary Stanton ex-
claimed Mr. President, if reading
chapters of Artemus Ward is a pre-
lude to such a deed as this, the book
should be filed among the archives
of the nation, and the author can
oniZed.
The author was never canonized
but before he died in 1867, Artemus
Ward had not only became Ameri-
cas- favorite jester but he had won
fame as humorist in England such
as no other American before him
had ever known.

UNCOMMON
AMERICANS
Earliest Rebel
By Elmo G Western
C ivy Newspaper
OCOLL NJ ULSOU Union

N FRONT Of the statehouSe in
= Boston stands the statue of a
woman, with Bible in her hand and
child snuggled against her The in
scrlption on the monument tells you
that this woman was courageous
Exponent of Civil Liberty and Reli-
gious Tolerance. But 300 years ago
Massachusetts wasn't calling her by
any such complimentary names. In
the year 1887 she was "that proud
dame. that Athaliah," a notorious
Imposter," a "dayngerous Irsru-
ment of the Devell rayses up by
Sathan" and a Breeder Of Her
esies." For she was Anne Hutchin-
son, the earliest rebel in this coun-
try.
She became a leader OF a group
of people who fell under the dis
pleasure of the stern Puritans of
Massachusetts Bay colony. Because
these people held meetings in her
house to discuss and criticize the
sermons of the Puritan ministers,
they finally placed her on trial for
heresy, trial that has been COM
pared to that of Joan of Arc at
Rouen.
Under their questioning, she
proved herself more than a match
for her prosecutors. But just at the
moment when it seemed that she
had defeated her accusers, she burst
forth into long speech describing
Gods revelations to her. Thus she
convicted herself and her penalty
was banishment from the colony.
But Anne Hutchinson was more
than the first defender of religious
freedom in America. She was our
earliest feminist. The meetings held
in her house, although primarily
for religious discussion, were the
forerunnerS of thousands of meet
ings since her day, wherever women
gather together to improve them
selves or the rest of the world. So
her house became the birthplace
of the women's clubs of America"
After her banishment from Mas
sachusetts Bay colony she went to
that haven of religious freedom, the
colony of Rhode Island, founded by
Roger Williams. There she lived un-
til 1642 when, left a widow, she
took her brood of children (she
had borne 14 to the Dutch colony
of New York where later she and
all of her children were killed.
But she had not lived in vain for
civil liberty and religious tolera-
ton, the principles for which she
suffered exile and death are written
into the Constitution of the United
States"
