natural life, in elections, to every
thing like
Fair Play"
Another incident which caused
wild excitement was the distribu-
ton of hand bills among the people,
which were called the Coffin Hand
bills" They appeared in myster-
ious way and found their way into
all the homes in the county. These
bills were made up of drawings of
the collins representing the six de-
serters whom Jackson was supposed
to have executed. Also there were
twelve other collins with colored ac-
counts of the executions in prose and
doggerel, describing the tough time
these mems widows and families
were having.
These handbills were fourteen by
twenty inches in size and were head
ed with "Some account of some of
the Bloody Deeds of General Jack
son" They were printed in great
numbers and could be found in all
parts of the country-even in Eng
land they became famous.
"The Jacksonians might kick and
squall," cried the Administration or
gans, 'it is bitter pill but down it
must go. We have not introduced
these symbols of approaching dis
solution with thoughtless frivolity,
but in sober seriousness with a view
to bringing the unthinking to re-
Election and arresting their progress
in that road which is hurrying them
on to political ruin. Although the
bones of these deserters, who were
slaughtered contrary to law and in
violation of the usage of civilized
warfare, now moulder beneath the
sod of the wilderness and the nightly
blast howls through the rank grass
that marks their dreary graves, yet
shall their ashes rise in judgment
against their murderous chieftain
and their images fit across his vision
when the mantle of night shall have
wrapped him from the world and
when the remorse of guilty con-
science shall have made a coward of
this Hero"
The Wing papers were full of such
assaults as these, but they only in
creased the zeal of the Jacksonians
and they strived harder than ever
for their ''idolized old Hickory"
Later it was found that the coffin
handbills were printed in the office
of the Torch Light and that the cuts
were obtained from a man living in

Winchester, Va.
The Democrats were having a hard
time during their campaign because
the majority of the stump orators
and best writer's were supporting
Adams. So a few of the young
Democrats got together and decided
to start newspaper of their own,
resulting in the Hagerstown Mail,
which later became known as the
Daily Mail. The first paper was pub
lished July A, 1928, and Jacob Fiery
received the very first sheet from
the press
The Mail had its Office in the In
dian Queen Tavern on Washington
Street and the first editor of that
great Democratic organ was James
Maxwell of Martinsburg, Va. CIV.
Va Maxwell did not continue for
long as the editor of the Mail be-
cause he published some articles at
which the owners turned up their
noses and he was succeeded by Mr..
Thomas Kennedy.
The Democrats were so happy ov-
er victory in November that the
cannons on Walnut street and Can
non Hill were fired, with the result
that both pieces of artillery burst.
A fragment of the one on Cannon
Hill killed George Bowers, cutting
his head from the body and hurting
it about a hundred yards into an
adjoining field.
The President-electa arrived in Ha-
gerstown the following February

On Sunday the President and his

Frances New Tax Program

The drastic tax program proposed by
Premier Ramadier reflects both Frances
acute financial necessities and the sitter
ATTITUDE of his government impaired by
Secretary of State Marshalls proposal for
European reconstruction.
The Justification for this program, set
forth by Premier Ramadier and his Finance
Minister, Robert Schuman, is a stark ex-
pose Of the truly desperate state of French
finances. The program is frankly of an
emergency character, to avert an otherwise
inevitable fiscal crisis involving a disas-
trous devaluation of the franc. To avert
such a disaster heavy sacrifices are de-
manded of rich and poor alike. Those
sacrifices will result from higher rail, postal
and tobacco rates. plus higher prices for
necessities owing to an ending of subsidies
on items like bread and milk Steep in
creaSeS in income tax and all SertS of
taxes on luXuries are adding to the burdens
The result of the program would, of
course, be sharply defationary. And, as
such. it will inevitably arouse opposition in
many quarters. Resultant higher living
costs will further stimulate labor demands
for wage increases which, if granted, would
sabotage the whole program by precipitat-
ing vicious spiral Of imitation. The Com
munist opposition to the government may
be expected to make the most of this labor
discomfort. To Offset labor discomfort, the
program also hits the rich and well-to-do
classes. But whether the working man will
appreciate the logic of this remains to be
seen. At any rate the general spread Of
sacrifices demanded by the government,
while proving its impartiality, will please
virtually nobody in so far as personal inter
eSts are concerned.
However. the government makes it plain
that there is no practical alternative II

The Mokinqs of q Showdown

The United Nations is at another de-
cisive moment in its young history. on
the basis of a report made by its Balkan
investigating commission, the Security
Council soon will have to decide on what
to do about the hostile acts committed by
Yugoslavia Albania and Bulgaria against
Greece. Speaking through Warren AUSTIN
the United States has made unmlStakably
clear that it will insist on positive course.
Russa's reaction is the big, crucial factor,
Just as it Is at the seemingly stymled Paris
conference on European recovery.
In the strongest possible terms, Mr..
Austin has told the Council that Yugo-
slavia, Bulgaria and Albania-directly and
indirectly, mainly by supporting guerrlllas
have been guilty of using force against
the territorial integrity and political in
dependence of Greece" Warning that
continuation of this situation might re-
quire the imposition of diplomatic ana
economic sanctions, and perhaps even the
use of force, he has proposed that the
United Nations move without delay for
peaceful settlement. To this end, he has
called upon the Council to act aff1rmatively
culprit nations cooperate with the Greek
government in drawing up conventions TO
end hostile acts and ease border tensions;
and (2) to create special long-term COM
mission to help frame those conventions
and serve as kind of frontier policing
and mediating agency with the right to
move from one country to another.
In effect, by taking this firm line the
United States has placed before the United
Nations the issue that led some time ago
to the proclamation of the Truman Doc
trine" and the launching of our Greco
Turkish aid program. In it's essentials,
our position is supported by all members
of the Councils Balkan investigating COM
mission, with the usual exceptions of
Russia and Poland. Our charges against
Yugoslavia, Albania and Bulgaria, of
course, are addressed also to the Soviet
Union. Indeed, they are addressed pri-
marily to that country, though its name
Is not mentioned in them. After all, the
situation could be pacified overnight by
little more than a nod from the Kremlin
to the accused satellites.
Accordingly, the question now before the
Security Council boilS down to whether or
not the Russians will give that nod. If
they do, 1t will mean that they are willing
to take the heat off Greece. Far more
important than that, it will hold out the
promise Of basic change in their policy
q policy that has made it impossible to
date to build a decent peace in Europe.
Contrariwise, If they veto our proposal,
oil, ,xrin l1o
that they intend to hold fast to their pres
ent course. In that case, further efforts
to get along with them will seem close to
being futile. The issue, coupled with the
one being discussed at Paris, has all the
makings of a momentous showdown be-
tween East and West.

Letters to The Star
Fair Trial for Labor Law


To the EDITOR of The Star:
AS both the House of Representatives and
the Senate have decided that the Taft-Hartley
Labor Act is satisfactory piece of legislation,
it seems that thousands of less informed clti-
zenS such as the miners, could at least give
the law a trial
1t is not as if the law could not be amended
so as to correct any unsatisfactory clauses.
What is so wrong about an 80-day period OF
arbitration? When labor disputes arise 1t IS
quite evident that arbitration is a superior
means of settlement to that of striking. When
arbitration fails, however. it has been sufncl-
emily proved that striking is the only methoo
of acquiring satisfaction. Within 30 days any
union employer difficulties should be straight
ened out even though domneerlng parsonage
such as John L. Lewis should be involved
There has been much opposition to the
Taft-Hartley labor law, but not one OF the
opposition has appeared with superior DILL
NV hat is off to Senator Taft and Representa-
tive Hartley for providing bill to aid IN the
settlement of United States labor problems.
If no check is made on the large unions
to what extent may they go, not only in LABOR
but in national politics? Enough power ALREADY
is in the hands of Lewis Green and Murray,
the labor leaders.
After the statement of President Truman
who was definitely opposed to the BILL that
he would do all in his power to enforce the
new law. why can't labor at least give the
law a chance to prove its success or tallure!
MILLARD L. BLANCHARD.
