Jay and me to put over some of our
radical ideas, with the boss gone!
On second thought, though. we'd
better not answer Opportunity s

Us. Well stick TO the good old news

brood over at our leisure.
Now, let me see. Pa has always
said an editorial must SAY some
thing. That shouldn't be hard-for
a woman. Pa says they always talk
enough but, again there has always
been that qualifying tone that left
one in doubt as to whether he
thought they ever said anything for
the yardage Of words used. But we
can try.
There's always the war. A good,

of proposals by At local unions to in

Due to Be Shelved.
Informed sources indicated the
committee would shelve all of them
and leaders anticipated no serious
effort toward an expression by the
delegates in opposition to Mr..
Lewis views.
Democratic leaders could "nomi-
nate whom they wish" Mr.. Lewis
asserted, "but if they think they can
continue in power without labor,
then that is the clear depth of stu
pidity to which I cannot descend
with them"
If the Democrats preferred to
follow the half-baked ideas of GER

he said IF the Democratic party
has no interest in the outcome Of
the election, then it can disregard

M. Lewis demanded to know what
the Democratic party intended to do
about the country's problems. par
ticularly unemployment. He said
President Roosevelt's message to
Congress did not contain "a single

Can't Win Without Labor,
Lewis Tells Democrats
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Jan. 27.-
John L. Lewis bluntly advised the
Democratic party's leadership to-
day that any hope of victory in
November without labor's help was
''the depth of stupidity"
The c. I. o. chieftain, who has
suggested the Democrats join forces
with labor for the 1910 presidential
campaign, warned it was fatal
strategy" for the party leaders to
believe that his followers had mo
place to CO."
While practically eliminating the
Republican party as haven be-
cause Of "its frankly hostile atti-
tude," Mr.. Lewis declined to suggest
an alternative.
He avoided committing himself
on presidential possibilities at q
press conference, which followed
a weeks sessions of the United
Mine Workers fraught with political
implications.
IT have no candidate as yet" he
said.
The Platforms the Thing.
The most important question, he
said, was not who will be nomi-
mated for President, but what the
Democratic party proposes to do
for the country.
Earlier in the week the powerful
leader of the mine workers and c..
I. o. had split with the New Deal,
criticized Vice President John N.
Garner and Paul v. McNutt, two
presidential aspirants, and declared
that President Roosevelt would en-
counter "ignominious defeat" if he
sought a third term.
Mr.. Lewis climaxed the week by
bringing Senator Burton K. Wheeler
before the U. M. w. convention,
praising him as an eminent states
man" and hearing him advocate a
program which includes numerous
G. I. o. proposals.
However. he reserved comment"
today when asked if the Montana
Democrat met labor's specifications
for presidential candidate.

TAYLORvILLE, ILL.,, Jan. n R.-
An Illinois local of the United Mine
Workers of America today criticized
John L. Lewis for refusal to grant
autonomy to U. M. w. A. unions in
Illinois and went on record as favor
ing President Roosevelt for a third
term.
Tom Wells, president of Local 1T.
announced that he sent a telegram
to Mr.. Lewis "condemning your con-
tinued refusal to grant autonomy to
Illinois District IL, U. M. w. A." and
another to President Roosevelt
pledging third-term support.
Mr.. Lewis at the U. M. w. A. con-
vention in Columbus, Ohio, predicted
Mr.. Roosevelt would go down in
"ignominious defeat" if nominated
and said the Illinois mine district is
mot ready for autonomy"
Mr.. Wells said the motions were
carried unanimously at a meeting
of the local last night.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 27.-
Preparations for the mobilization
of a 1,200-man, uniformed and he'll
meted civilian army to deal with
anticipated labor disturbances drew
the attention of the Senate Civil
Liberties Committee today. The
plans were not carried out.
The information came from an
ofIicial of the Associated Farmers
and from records of that organiza-
ton as Senator Thomas, Democrat,
Of Utah, presided over another ses-
sion of the committees inquiry into
California labor conc tions.
Each Pledged 600 Men.
After an hour of questioning Fred
L. Hogue, president of the Associ-
ated Farmers of Stanislaus County,
and the reading of what he termed
abstracts from minutes of AsSo-
ciated Farmers meetings, Senator
Thomas commented:
II never saw a more military or
ganization put down on paper than
you have here"
"It's all on paper, though" Mr..
Hogue countered.
The testimony concerned plans
laid in Stanislaus County in 1887
during fears of trouble in the spin
ach packing industry.
Asked about preparations for mo-
bilization of citizens deputy
army" to be delivered to the sheriff
in case of disturbance, Mr.. Hogue
testified that the Associated Farm
ers' and the Merchants Association
each pledged 600 men who could be
deputized in case of need.
This was shortly after the rioting
known as "The Battle of Waterloo
Road" during the Stockton cannery
strike.
There had been reports, Mr.
Hogue related, that ''Longshoremen
and hoodlums" were planning to in
wade the county.
Planned to Buy Uniforms.
From the minutes of the Asso-
ciated Farmers meetings, Senator
Thomas read of plans for raising
money to purchase olive drab uni
forms, hard hats" (helmets), shoul-
der straps, belts and holsters.
Members were to furnish their
own side arms" and plans were
made for troop transports and for
wiring in of cabs on trucks for pro-
lection of drivers and escorts, the
Senator reported.
None of these plans was carried
out, Mr.. Hogue testified. He OBJ
served. however, that if the situa-
ton should arise again, he thought
"the farmers would protect them
selves-there's no quibbling on that
point"
Senator Thomas inquired whether
the witness believed it good public
policy to deputize one of the parties
to labor dispute. Mr.. Hogue main
tanned that the farmers should pro-
tect their workers and the right to
work.

Legislation Progresses.
The move to review the operation
of present naval building programs
coincided with the progress of leg
islation authorizing an additional II
per cent expansion of the fleet at an
estimated cost Of $655 ,000, 900.
Unanimously. the Senate Naval
Committee recommended yesterday
that the Senate pass the House-ap
proved bill authorizing construction
of 10 battle craft and 81 auxiliaries.
Recognizing the possibility that
developments in the European war
may dictate drastic changes in the
design Of fighting ships, the Senate
committee rejected, S to g. a pro-
poSal to make the 10 new warships
permanent addition to the fleet-a
proposal that would permit the Navy
to replace them without further per-
mission when they wore out. Chair
man Walsh said majority felt i'm
provements might be so marked in
the next few years that the Navy
ought to consult Congress again
before it replaced any of the ships.
On the other hand. committee
members voted to give the Navy a
freer rein in shifting about the 160,-
600 tons of combat ship construction
contemplated under the measure so
that it could build larger and more
heavily armored plane carriers and
cruisers If the need for them became
apparent.

formed Germany that there is alb
solutely no truth to the charge that
she has entered into any agree
ment whatsoever-of an inimical
nature-with any foreign power and
which would have been aimed

Speaking over an N. B. G. net

States, said he had talked with the
Foreign Once at The Hague by tele-
phone and received the following
statement from the Minister OF

power and which would have been
aimed against Germany
II continue with the Foreign Min

This attack on the Netherlands
is without example in the worlds

I'VE didn't even receive an ulti-

DR.. Loudon said that in invading
his country Germany has outdone
itself once again as a civilized ma

There is nothing much to say"
the weary Minister added. "The
