Indianapolis, Nov. . 6. Taking their
first step In the fight against the gov
ernment's efforts to end the soft coal
strike through the federal qourt, at
torneys for the United Mine Workers
of America today filed a motion in the
federal district court here asking that
the restraining order be dissolved. It
will be argued Saturday at a hearing
on the government's restraining order.
The motion contends the govern

since fuel administration , was dis
solved by the president and is with
out authority to re-establish it with
out the "exigencies of war," also that
the government's action would deny

"Billy and Jack grew -up together,
They are both two and a half years

Billy was a mere baby, he used to pull

By Lucky Baldwin)
The decision of the State Commls- j
sion to divide the Florida Centennial j
into four parts is a positive victory !
for Pensacola. With the exception of '
a definite decision in favor of this
city, no better action, from a Pensa
cola standpoint, could have been taken.
Under the act of the Legislature of
1919 which created the commission, a
centennial site was to be chosen. This
the Commission has. failed to do, and
has gone on record as having so
failed. Therefore Pensacola can now
go ahead and plan her own show, the j
real Florid Centennial.
Throughout the length and breadth
of West Florida sentiment is wholly
for Pensacola. There is none for'
Jacksonville or any other Florida city..
Pensacola can and should proceed im-,
mediately to organize her Centennial.'
In the meantime the State Commis-,
sion must wait until the Legislature
meets to get authority to conduct four i
fairs instead of a Florida Centennial.
And when the Legislature meets it '
will designate Pensacola. West Flor-'
Ida will vote as one p.m fnr tho rMi:
"Because of the strange working oC
politics it may well be that some of
thes leading law-makers of Duval and
St. John's counties will join with the
champions of Pensacola's right. When
justice and political aspirations travel
in the same direction it is easy for
them to go double. The Florida Cen
tennial will be either a haven or a
reef, according to whether or not East
and South Florida politicians see the
