The preachings of patriot ism are of no effect, even where it is shown the 60le purpose of the militia is the maintenance of law and order, and in Weaver's opinion the only real. practical solution of the problem lies in the creation by the other states of a state constabulary on the lino of the highly trained and disciplined con stabulary of Pennsylvania to supple ment the effort of the local police or constabulary in the repressiou of dis order. It is believed labor union would then come to look upon the militia as a force for national defense rather than as state police, and in the course of time their opposition would disap pear. ShOTrn Small Growth. Perhaps, for the reason indicated. Weaver suggests, the increase in the strength of the national guard was only trifling during the past year. Ac cording to latest returns this strength was 9,155 officers and 110.505 men. which Is a net increase of only 734 over the preceding year. It is a cur ious fact Hawaii shows the greatest percentage of militiamen to the popu lation, the number being 71.8 per thousand, while Nevada has not a sin gle militiaman in the organized ranks, and the average of the whole country was very low, being only 7.7 militia men to every thousand of population. Want KaUonal Itrarrre. Forecasting a dimunition in the func tions of the present militia, the report makes a strong plea for the creation of an efficient national reserve of about 100.000 men, practically on the lines of the Swiss army, which would permit the retention of the services of the best of the citizen soldiery under federal control, without demanding of officers and men more time from their civilian employments than Is now re quired for instruction in the best state militia organizations. This would be part of the regular army, constituting with the regular army and militia the firp. line of defense in case of war. It is asserted that under the law and constitution a citizen soldiery can only be provided along these lines, name terms acceptable to the strik ers. The agreement provides the men shall be taken back without dis crimination, except for acts of vio lence. Each company will take up with its employes adjustment of wages and hours. Recognition of their union, the chief issue for which the strikers held out, was not granted. hmiffeurV Strike to Continue The agreement decision affects the strike of chauffeurs, cab drivers and drivers for the department stores, who at first quit work in sympathy with the express employes and later presented demands in their own be half. The fight of the chauffeurs and cab drivers will continue until recognition of the union is won, it is announced. BOYS THROW WOULD BE LEADER IN BONFIRE Washington. Not. 14. Expressing the fear that the interior department will recommend the patenting of the Cunningham Alaskan coal land claims, which he believes to be fraudulent, Gifford Pinchot, former forester of the United States, has appealed to the president to allow him to submit a brief before any such action is given executive approval. Mr. Pinchot has written to the pres ident under date of Nov. 7. He says, in part: Wanta Vnblaaed Jodrmrat, "It Is unfortunately impossible to look with confidence to the officials of the Interior department for an un biased judgment in this matter, and it is clear the protection of the public In terest in these Alaskan coal lands must depend directly on the president himself." Secretary Rallinger's connection with these claims, which have been before the interior department since he was commissioner of the land office, precip itated the so called Balllnger-Pincbot controversy and the conpresslonal in vestigation of the forestry service. Balllagrr l"xur Statement. Secretary Ballingcr Issued a state ment Saturday night In which he de clared that "wholly unfounded charges have been spread broadcast involving the attitude of department officials to ward these cases." and that in view ef these conditions he "deemed It of the highest importance that all these cases he transferred from the jurisdiction of the general land office directly to the court of appeals of the District of Co lumbia for consideration and adjustment."
