We are not pacifists. We believe in adequate defense for our country. But our eyes Were opened through hard experience. We know what war means and to the best of cur ability through all the coming years we in- tend to eee that such things do not happen again. To this end there has been formed a great inter-allied vet- crans’ association, La Federation des Anciens Combattans, made-up of all the great veterans’ organjzations in all the allied countries. It includes in its membership the British legion which followed our own plan of development and ts heated by Marshal Haig, the consolidation of all the French organ- izations and others from Canada, South Africa, Italy and Jugo-Slavia— in fact every allied country. “You will hear of the progress of its first real congress in New Orleans next fall, where it meets at the invitation of the legion. Through this federation the American Legion feels that more can be acoomplished than through any iternstional conference or agreemets ‘toward the prevention of future wars. “First of all, however, the American Legion stands for America and for the} 4 defenders of America.”” | METHODIST CONVENTION AT CRAWFORD 10 DRAW SEVERAL FROM CASPER, Many Casper Methodists and mem- bers of the Epworth League will) leave for Crawford, Neb., next Sun-} day to attend the Tri-state convention} to be held there trom July 24 to July 30.

Je William ‘Allen White Defies Governor Allen and Kansas Court in Display of Sympathy for R ailroad Strikers TOPEKA, Kan., July 20.—“Henry and Me,’’ the one Gov. Henry J. Allen and the other William Allen White, close friends for many years, fellow travelers, both with national }reputations ‘as publicists and editors, co-workers overseas during the world war, and two of the chief political leaders of Kansas, today differed materially. The Kansas court of industrial relations, nor Allen was the chief sponsor, was the point of dissension. Mr. White, publisher of the Emporia Gazette, rising to a point of personal privilege, posted in the window of his newspaper office a placard espousing the cause of striking railway shop- men, and expressing sympathy for their announced stand for “living wages and fair working conditions.” Mr. White had been told that the state attorney general had ruled that such displays were in violetion of the indus- trial and antisyndicalism law. ‘The order of the industrial court is an infamous infraction of the right of free press and free speech,” ‘Mr. White asserted. He proclaimed 49 per cent sympathy with the strikers and said he would add one per cent a day as long as the strike was continued. “We all know Bill,” said Governor Allen, the “Henry” of Mr. White's book, “The Martial Adventures of Henry and Me,"’ written after their re- turn from overseas. “If he insists an being funny we will have to do some- thing about it.” Further than that Governor Allen would not commit himself. Richard J. Hopicins, attorney gener al, Was sumewhat more emphatic in his statement, although he did not say that Mr. White would be arrested at once. “One who encourages lawlessnss in Kansas by advocating it is himself violating the law and therefore ‘s sub. ject to arrest,” said the attorney gen- eral. “Mr. White has jumped at a con clusion without realizing the funda- mental principle involved,” he added. It is not @ matter of free speech or tree press. It ts a question of obedi ence to law. Under the Kansas law 2 railroad stirke or a strike in an es. sential industry is more than a con- troversy between employers and em- ployes. A strike which would prevent this public from procuring food, fuel, clothing, transportation and like neces- sities has beon made unlawful in Kan- Bas. It is a strike against the public —it is a strike agamst the state itself. = xt White has always been very r of the industrial rela- x A strike in an indus tions law, x of which Gover-)try where the rights of the public are not directly involved is a matter for debate. For all the speeches and edi- torials that Mr. White or any one else may desire to niake, but a railroad strike is not a matter for speeches or editoria's which promote lawlessness. ‘A railroad strike is an act of lawless- hess. Those advocating it or mtim!- dating workmen are lawbreakers.” Governor Allen was elected to office while he still was overseas and without having campaigned. He succeeded the now Senator Arthur Capper. Gover. the publisher of the Wichita Beacon, and lately has come more into the pub: lic eye through his ardent defense of the industrial relations law and cam- paign for mid-west waterways. —_—- LAND REGISTER NAMED.

At the sama time Governor Carey issued an Invitation to mine owners and representatives of the mine forkers of Wyoming to 2 conference here next Monday, July 24, to dts- cuss the possibility of ending the miners’ strike in Wyoming. WASHINGTON, July 20.— (By The Associated Press.) —~ The center of developments in the coal strike was steadily shifting today away from Washington and out into the col fields where the policy of the government involving reopening of the mines under state or federal protec- tion will be tested. Responses were yet to come from several governors to President Hard. Ing’s appeal for co-operation in insur- ing the nation’s fuel supply, but White House officials exprossed grati- fication ‘over the responses thus far received. Only Governor Morrison of North Carolina, of the 19 governors who had replied up to noon today. refused absolutely the co-operation the president asked, tt was pointed out b: officials. The nine governors who have not yet replied were expected tp send in their, responses within the next 24 hours. John 1. Lewts, chief of the United Mine Workers, was preparing to leave Washington today after having been in Washington for nearly a month in conferences with government officials and operators. “The mine workers’ attitude {s un- changed,” said Mr. Lewis. “Our peo- ple are determined to continue the strike until the principle of collective bargaining and past procedure in the industry are recognized. “Our ranks are unbroken and will continue so. The threat of military operations will not alter the principles at stake, nor bring any satisfactory results to the suffering public.” Referring to the repeated suggestion that the miners’ union might now call out the pump men and maintenance workers guarding the {dle mines in the union districts, Mr. Lewis said: “The miners will continue to act in a law-abiding manner, but under no circumstances will any of our matn- tenance men continue to work with strikebreakers or in mines whose tip- ples are flanked with machine guns or artillery units." Mr. Lewis described the present strike ay the “severest struggle in which the Iabor movement had ever engaged.” He pointed out that the union had now been conducting a strike for 16 weeks. . astern coal consumers are placing some orders for coal in Europe, accords Continued on Page Four.)
