STRIKE ORDER REVOKED
Many yea^g the late David B.
Hill made a speech in Brooklyn. Hi
announced Ids platform in the be
ginning of his address epigramati
cally??4,'I am a democrat." 1 ht
soft coal miners were equally a.1
laconic yesterday when they pro
claimed to the world ''\\ e are Amer
icans." These few words mear
much. They are a rebuke to I. W
VPs. and other treasonable horde>
who are not Americans in spirit o*
by birth, and show what we have
always believed that there is.a wieb
chasm between the great majority
of workinirmen in the United State>
and the undesirables who woult
ride strikes in their purpose to o^er
turn our republican form of gov*
ernment.
The. eyd of tht. strike came at ai
opportune time. 11 was Armistice
Day. when a large percentage o'
Americans were celebrating th
first anniversary of the capitulatioi
of Gt-rmjiny. But while joy wa
in the air a drizzling rain was pre
?vailing with every indications tha
within a few hours a decided dro*
in the temperature would be in evi =
der.ee. The bins of many are lov
and a cold wave would have prove'
an unwelcome visitor while th
miners' strike was on. The new
of the revocation of the strike ol
der was accompanied by a cheerinj
announcement from the Weathe
Bureau to the effect that the frigi:
conditions in the west would caus
.no serious meteorological incor.ven
ienee in the eastern stales. Tlu
ltlizzard was not intended for us.
These dual blessings brought pleas
antry everywhere.
The , government, very properly
immediately announced that, offieia*
are ready and anxious to confe
with the miners, and their srrievar
ce?s will be investigated and relie*
afforded in every case where I lies
workers under ground shall hnv
been found to be victims of injus
tice in any particular.
The miners havc. shown their pat
riotism by placing their eountr
first anil their organization secern*'
They have announced that th?y ar<
not defiers of law and order. ^
An exchange this morning tol
the story in a picture. A map e>
the United States was exhibite
upon which the words "United Min<
Workers ??f America" had ex ten dee
across the print. "United .Min
Workers" had been markeel out an
the words "I'm it eel States" substi
tuted. making the legend read "Uni
teel States <-.f America." A mine
stands by directing attention te? th?
change.
I'AR NUBILE FKATIU'M
That Columbia is wide awak? a'
last and means business is g-atify
?ing te> many who have time ovei
and again asked why such delay ii
deporting from our shores a certair
element who have not eomt> anion?
us to ei:je>y the blessings of oui
fetrm e>f government, but. to elo ev
erythitig possible to bring about ;>
reign isf terror in our land. The
authorities are new engage:! in the
geoel work of weeding such out.
Nor are they confining them
selves to the small fry among this
class, but the House etf Represen
tatives has refused t?> sev.t Berger
who has made himself offensive ti
to the govern-mnt he has misrepre
sented?- (n a thoughtless moment
voters in one e>f the Wisconsin dis
tricts elected this man to Congress.
The vote for his exclusion was sig
nificant, but one member voting to
seat him.' Acting upon the prin
ciple of the Ephesians after their
temple hael been burned, we ?vil!
not'mention thcvnani;. of this lone
star, anel trust we will be more suc
cessful than were the ancients in
attempting to suppress the name of
the incendiary.
As a contemporary says, "the
only criticism the country will '
make of the action of the House off
Rt&rcs'cntatives in the /-ase of Vic-'
tor L.- Berger is that one vevte was
oast in his favor. On his own show
ing. in his sj*eech of defense, he jus-,
ti?<sd the verreikt. If he .escapes
expulsion from the United States he
may consider himself lucky. It is
to Ve doubted if any of the 'Reds'
arested in the recent raids, and
whom the Government is threaten
ing with deportation, went any fur
ther, if as far,' in organized hostil
ity to the country as did Berger j
when we were facing' a great na
tional peril.
? "Berger may have one just cause
of complaint. He may have, the
right to contrast his treatment with
'that of Senator La Follette. Tech
inically the latter may not have of
fended as directly against the law
las Be'ger. But morally the Wis
consin Seantor was fully as guilty.
That he- still sits in the Senate
i while Eerger is thrust out of th?
House ma y possibly be due. to
the fact that La Toilette's vote was
needed by his Republican associ
ates."
INIMfiNANT. WORKMAN
A workingman. -who signs his
wme, publishes the following in a
laltinTv.-fc paper:
t4Tho undersigned was one of
nany, if I may judge, indignant
readers of (Jumpers' insolent and
'nupudent statement to the Ameii
an people. Such an antagonizing
?reclamation as lie is credited with
aving authorized to be published is
luivalent to a declaration of in
Suslric 1 and domestic civil war. It
i plainly a question of how long
he American prjf.Ie will stand the
vtunny of labor agitators ;nd sup
ioit them to the detriment of their
'amilies and the population in gen
?ral. It discredits the union.
'*Now, its a labor man, let me
