TEXT OF PRESIDENTS
' MESSAGE TO MINERS
President Wilson's message to the
meibers of the Lnited Mine Workers
of America. sent yesterday, follows:
It is with a feeling of profound
regret and sorrow that I have learn
ed that many of the members of
your organization, particularly in
the State of Illinois, have engaged
in a strike in violation of the terms
of the award of the Bituminous
Coal Commission and your agree
ment w ith the Government that the
findings of the commission would be
accepted by you as final and binding.
I am distressed not only because
your action in refusing to mine coal
upon the terms which you had ac
cepted may result in great suffer
ing in many households during the
coming winter and interfere with
the continuation of industrial ac
tivity, which is the basis of the
properity wdch ' you in common
wit the bal4n'e of your people
have been enjoying, but also, and
what is of far more importance to
you, because the violation of the
terms of your solemn obligation
impairs your own good name, de
stroys the confidence which is the
basis of all mutual agreements, and
threatens the very foundation of
fair industrial relations. No gov
ernment, no employer, no person
having any reputation to protect
can afford to enter into contractual
relations with any organization
that repeatedly or syste'rnatically
violates its contracts.
"PLIGHTED FAITH" COMES FIRST.
The United Mine Workers of
America is the largest single labor
organization in the United States,
if not in the world, but no organ
ization can long endure that. sets
up its own strength as being
superior to its plighted faith or its
duty to society at large. It has
in the past built up an enviable
reputation for ahiding by its con
tracts, which has been one of its
most valuable assets in making
wage agreements.
It may now make temporary
gains by taking advehtage of the
dire necessities of the balance of
the peoplb through the viola
tion of these contracts, but
what of the future? How can it
expect wage contracts with the
employers to be continued, in the
face of such violations, when
normal conditions have been re
stored and the country is free from
the fear of immediate shortage of
coal? How will It be able to re
mist the claims of the operators in
the future who take advantage of
the precedent which the miners
have established and decrease
wage rates in the middle of 'a
wage contract under the plea that
they are unable to sell the coal at
the then existing cost of prelIuc
tion?
A mere statement of these ques
tions ought to be sufficient to
awaken the mine workers to the
dangerous course they are pursu
ing and the injuries they are in
fieting upon themselves and the
country at large by the adoption
of these unwarranted strike pol
icies.
AQMITS SOME "IlWEQUALITIB."
In the consideration of the na
tion-wide wage scale involving
many different classes of labor by
the Bituminous Coal Commission
in the limited time at its disposal
some inequalities may have de
-veloped in the award that ought
to be corrected. I cannot, however,
recommend any consideration of
such inequalities as long as the
mine workers continue on strike
in violation of the terms of the
awardl which they had accepted as
their wage agreement for a def
inmite length of time.
I must therefore insist that the
striking mine workers return to
work, thereby demonstrating their
good faith in keeping their con
tract. ,When I have learned that
they have thus returned to work,
I will invite the scale committees
of the operators and Ndiners to re
convene for the purpose of adjust
ing any such inequalities as they
may mutually agree should be ad
justed.

RUM SERES
HIE UPON U.S.
Treasury Offloials Lack Storage
.pace for Whiskey Confis
cated in D. C. Raids. -
So great have been the seisures of
whiskey in the District of Columbia
that additional space in which to
store the evidence of violations of
the Federal prohibition act must be
found. aecording to a letter written
today by Secretary of the Treasury
Houston to the Comptroller of the
Treasury. asking for a decision as
to the renting of storage space for
the whiskey.
According to Secretary Houston,
effort was made to obtain space in
Government buildings within the
Isatrict of Columbia. but none adapt
able for the "safe" storage of liquor
could be found.
In the opinion of W. W. Warwick.
Comptroller of the Treasury, the act
which covers the expenses for en
forcing the national prohibition act
for the fiscal year 1921 provides that
as much as $49,500 may be e,;pended
for rental of quarters in the District.
"The authority given by this appro
priation for the rental of quarters
is sufficiently specific to cover rental
of such storage facilities as may bq
necessary to'tt' activities of the field
force of the satlonal prohibition ser
vice in the District of Columbia. sub.
ject to the maximum of $40,500 for
rental fixed by the appropriations,"
ruled the comptroller.
At the present time thousands of
dollars' worth or liquor is stored in
the building occupied by Prohibition
Commissioner Kramer. and three
shifts of policemen guard it day and
night. In addition many of the po
lich stations, as well as police head
quarters, are holding thousands of
dollars' worth of whisky evidence.
COX'S ACCEPTANCE
SPEECH DUE TODAY
Democratic Nominee, However,
Will Reserve Big Card Until
He's Notified.
D, HARRY L. ROGERS.
iaternatioaal News Service.
DAYTON, Ohio, July 31.-Elated
with the success of the home coming
demonstration in his honor yesterday.
Governor Cox today entered upon the
final lap of work on his epeech of ac
ceptance, and was positive that the
finishing touch"s would be given be
fore 6 o'clock tpnight.
The governeq expected to give the
final word "pint off" to the press
foreman of I s newspaper, the Day
ton News, Just before dinner time.
which means that the damp copies
from the press will be turned over
to the press association before 7
o'clock tonight for mailing to news
papers throughout the country.
One portion of the governor's speech
of acceptance, however, is being with
held. It is the "surprise" which is
awaited with expectant interest by
thousands throughout the United
States. For weeks it has been ru
mored that the governor, with a true
sense of publicity values, would "keep
a card in the hole" until the last mo
ment, and would play this card at a
time when it would do the utmost
good for his cause.
KEYNOTE KEPT SACK.
This rumor was given additional
confirmation today when the Governor
reiterated that the most important
part of his speech, to be delivered on
official notification day, August 7,
would not be released to the newspa
pers until the morning of delivery.
Just what this will deal with has not
been intimated, oven remotely, but it
is expected to form the real keynote
of the Governor's campgign utterance.
That it will not deal with the pro
hibition question is taken for granted,
in view of the Governor's specific
statement that nothing in his forth
coming address could be interpreted
as "intended as a reply to the tele
gram from Richmond Pearson Hob
son," inquiring as to Governor C'ox's
stand on enforcement of the Volstead
act.
DOMESTIC PROBLEM.
The trend of the interview granted
recently by Senator David J. Walsh
of Massachusetts, who conferred with
the. governor on Thursday, coupled
with the statemnent credited to Na
tional Chairman George White that
the governor's indorsement of the
League of Nations is "elastic" and his
intimation that "the people of Ohio
are not thinking a great deal about
the league just now," was taken to
mean that the governor plans to lay
especial emphasis on some domestic
problem. rather than the questions of
internationai relations.

MARY PICKFORD 20
FUTUREFILM STAR
Doug's Wife Admits Her Mother
Has Adopted Sister Lottie's
Little Girl.
NEW YORK, July 31.-Mary Pick
ford took time enough yesterday
amid her activities to admit that
Mary Charlotte Rupp, four-year-old
daughter of Lottie Pickford. had been
adopted by Mrs. Charlotte Smith,
Mary's mother. On Thursday Lottie
Pickford flied suit for divorce in Los
Angeles against A. G. Rupp. a New
York auto salesman.
The child's name was legally
changed to Mary Charlotte Pickford,
so the name promises to be perpetu
ated if Mary the younger goes into
film acting.
The elder Mary's latest admission
explains the mystery of the blue
eyed baby who has accompanied her
and "Doug" recently. For many
months the actress. has been practi
cally a mother to the youngster and
has had little Mary Jive with her in
California, to be with her all the
time.
The child. has already made her
debut on the screen. She appeared in
a dance scene of "Pollyanna" with her
famous relative.
The most pictured folk in the coun
try balked yesterday afternoon when
they were asked to pose before thq
Rogues' gallery camera. Mary and
Doug went to police headquarters to
"buy a hunch " of tickets for the
Police Field Day, to he held at the
Gravesend Bay race track on August
21 and 28.
After being shown around the
building and had the workings of the
police department explained to them.
they went to the gymnasium on tho
fourth floor, where a class of recruits
were in training. Doug became so
excited when he saw some of the men
on the mat that he jumped in and
demonstrated to them his ability in
the art of jiu jitsu. He also did
gymnastic "stunts" on the horizontal
bar and the swinging rings.
From the gymnasium they went to
the basement of the building. Mary
became nervous when she saw three
highwaymen being photographed and
finger-printed. Her husband seemed
to be more at ease. When it was sug
gested that they go through the "or
deal" of being photographed they
said. "No, I guess we will pass that
up."
The noted moving picture perform
ers said they would like to participate
in the events on August 21 and 23 and
that if they can arrange their sched
ule they will be hero in time to take
part.

the Comptroller said:
"With a sane settlement of present
labor troubles and the restoration of
the old-time efficiency of labor, and
the stabilisation which it is hoped the
forthcoming rate decision of the In
terstate Commerce Commission, to
gether with more scientific adminis
tration and less stock juggling in
railroad management, will bring
about. the business outlook for this
country will be extremely bright.
"I will also add that there Is not.
and has not been, in my judgment,
the least justification for the exces
sive and burdensome interest rates.
running up to 10.812, and 15 per cent
and higher. which have been exacted
by some of the banks in New York
city, the principal financial center of
our country. New York is the only
city of consequence in the world
where such interest rates are toler
ated.
"The banks which have charged
their customgers these excessive rates
have themselves at the same time been
liberally accommodated with millions A
of dollars by Federal Reserve Banks
at average rates of considerably less
than 6 per cent.
"Aside from the disturbed and
alarming state of affairs in parts of
the Old World, for which, I am con
vinced, this country's refusal to ratify
the peace treaty I. largely responsible.
there is absolutely no justification for
the spirit of pessimism and uneasi
ness prevalent in business and finan
cial circles In many sections of the
United States today.
"The action of the Federal Reserve
Banks in restricting extension of
credit for unessentials and luxuries
and in encouraging increased produc
tion of commodities most needed has
been distinctly beneficial and has, it
is believed, been a material influence
in reducing the high coat of living
far and wide.
"Those inclined to pessimistic views
as to our financial situation probably
do not know, or they do not appre
ciate the immensely significant fact
that our Federal Reserve Banks have
at this time an unused lending power
of $750,000.000. and that if occasion
required the board could, by waving
reserve requirements on deposits ard.
notes only JO per cent increase the
unused lending power to $2.500.000,000.
which is twenty-five times as much
as all national banks of the country
over borrowved at any one time."
