THE WISCONSIN WEEKLY BLADE i MONDELL URGES FARMS Republican House Leader Out lines Provisions of His bill. Seeks Permanent Benefits for Yank— Cold Calculation of Patriotism Repugnant, He Says. Washington, Aug. 27. —Republican Leader Morn’ 11 outliued to the house the provisions of his 1)111 embodying Secretary Lane’s project for farms fo ; soldiers and sailors. He said the meas j tire had the support of soldiers and [ labor organizations and should he en [ acted without demy, ‘ Opposition, Mr. Mondell said, lias its origin largely in the assumption that legisiatioi should benefit soldiers of the Spanish and Civil wars as well as those of the great war. ‘'Payment of a paltry bonus to dis charged soldiers is not in keeping with the dignity of this country,” said the speaker. “The ldeu that every valiant young American, rich or poor. Is to have the sum of his patriotism coldly calculated and doled out in a way that would be of little permanent value to him is so repugnant to every thinking person, soldier or civilian, that it is not entitled to serious con sideration, and yet it lias been urged us a substitute for a sound measure of opportunity and development such as we have before us.” He said tie opposed the measure be cause it was “camouflaging an appar ent help to all soldiers to benefit com paratively few.” STORAGE FOWL KILLS YANK Ohio Colonel, Just Returned From France, and Woman Dead of Poisoning.

MINERS WANT CONTROL Mine Operator Says the Coal Sit uation Is Bad. President H. N. Taylor of National Coal Association Say 6 Miners Seek Nationalization. Washington, Aug. 27.—Nationaliza tion of tlie coal mines is sought by many mine workers, and a bill to that end has been prepared, Harry N. Tay lor, president of the National Coal as sociation, testified before a senate committee investigating the coal situa tion. The plan is for the government to buy the mines and turn them over to the men for operation, Mr. Taylor said. Already many of the miners are de manding a six-hour day and a five-day week, he added. Referring to strikes at mines in Illi nois. Kansas and Missouri, Mr. Tay lor said a serious labor difficulty pre sented Itself, and must be met unless the country is to suffer a severe short age of. coal during the coming winter. These strikes, he declared, were in vio lation of the agreement between the men and the fuel administration that there would he continuous operation of the mines until peace was declared. Mr. Taylor told the committee that if the ideas put into effect in certain lie calities were approved at the .conven tion of mine workers on September 9 the problem of supplying the people with coal this winter would prove seri ous. A man picking slate is now paid $5 at many mines, Mr. Taylor said, while it is common for a miner to make sls a day. All nationalities are represent ed in tlie mines, he said, many of them “good Americans.” Aside from “a labor combine to force up the cost of production,” Mr. Taylor said the operators faced a buying com bine to force down the prices.
