TORRINGTON, Wyo., July 25.—(Special to The Trib-| une.)—An inspiring address by Hanford MacNider, national| commander of the American Legion, featured the afternoon session of the department of Wyoming in their third annual “|caonclave here Monday. MacNider, a stalwart, clean-cut type of American man- hood, made a quiet, unobstrusive en. trance into Torrington this morning. but news of his presence quickly be- came notsed about and he was soon the center of attraction. After con- versation with the chief executive of more than 1,000,000 former service men, it is evident that here is a man worthy of the confidence reposed in. him and q true American from top to toe. P Hts speech was replete with strik- ing sentiments of patriotism for his country, loyalty to the American Legion, and devotion to the cause of the ex-soldier. “The American Legion is not in pol- ities," he declared, “but we intend to see that this country stays as we fought for it to be. Our first con- sideration is that the blind, wounded and maimed get a square deal from the country they fought for. Every piece of legislation passed by con gress has been sponsored, advocated and fought for by the American Legion.” He complimented Wyoming and its ‘| large membership and the co-opera tion which the department showed ne national headquarters, thereby iz tribute to D. W. Oglibee and WJ. Werhl, state commander and adjutant of Wyoming, and both mem. bers of the George W. Vroman post of Casper. Frank W. Mondell, floor leader of the national house of representatives, was present and was called upon to address the convention on ex-service men's legislation. The attitude of Congressman Mondell, who is a cgn- didate for United States senator, is well known, as he has stood firmly for the ex-service man from the be ginning. His soldier settlement act, which is part of the adjusted compensation act which was passed by the house and is about to be considered by the senate, was ono of the first bits of legislation favorable to the former service man that was introduced into congress. Mondell frequently was interrupted by applause from the delegates who demonstrated that their appreciation of his efforts in their behalf was fully , appreciated. “This ts the first legion meeting I have ever attended;” said Mr. Mon- dell, and I am impressed—greatly im- pressed by the youth, enthusiasm and devotion to a cause which I see here. With these elements—youth, enthusi- asm and devotion—what you seek must and will find a way. “The future of the republic rests in your hands. As you stand for right- eousness and justice, so will the na- tion stand. And I have every con- fidence that this will bring glory and honor to you and prestige to our country.” William Ritchie, 5: commander of the department of Nebraska, spoke briefly at the afternoon session, de. claring, among other things, that the great lesson of the war was that men were uniformly the same no matter from whence they came and that mrad from the war has come a “paddy” | ship for which only the word can stand for. Commander McNider’s address the state legion follows in full: “I want you to know that I appre-| ciate the opportunity to be with you, here to absorb some of your wonder ful spirit and see if I can’t retain it long enough to carry it around the United States to some of these places| where they need {t. You have made| a splendid record this year, and I (Continued on Page Seven) ! to! Public Censors Not Needed In Movies---Hays LOS ANGELES, July 25.—Wil! H. Hays, former postmaster general and now head of the Motion Picture Producers’ and Distributors’ associn- tion here for a week's stud: in the stronghold of the industry, said to interviewers that “the prin. ciple of freedom upon which this na- tion was founded makes public cen- sorship of press, puipit, film or spoken word virtually an tmposs} | ditty.” Mr. Hays predicte?: “State wide or nation-wide censorship will fail in everything it undertakes. It hasn't been done successfully and never wi be. Too many people who know nothing about the business are named on censorship hoards. We are going to obviate the necessity of censorship.” LRasolntions Occupy Attention Today of Convention BY RAY WILLIAMS. TORRINGTON, Wyo., July 25.—(Special to The Trib- une.)—Reports of State Adju. tant Wehrli and the resolu. tions committee occupied the attention of the American Legion convention here this morning. The‘ following resolutions were pre- |wented and accepted: First, that the present navy be kept at 100 per cent efficiency and ship |for ship and gun for gun be equal to any navy in the world; second, that former service men in the last legisia- ture bs commended for their efforts in bobait of their “buddies";> third, that additional hospitalization fkcilt- ties be estublished in the district ‘for neuro phychiatric cases; fourth, that (Continued on Page Four) \Steel Plants Fac.

Robert D. Carey Monday afternoon, at the conclu- sion of an all-day conference between representatives of Wyoming coal mine owners and of the striking miners of District 22, United Mine Workers of America, gave the district union organization 30 days in which to obtain from the international organization permission to negotiate a separate wage and working agreement in Wyoming, providing a national agree- ment is not reached in the meanwhile, and served notice that unless the Wyoming miners were in an agreement ending the strike by the expiration of the period, he will “adopt measures which will! assure to the people of Wyoming an adequate supply of fuel.” | At the conclusion of the conference| Govetnor Carey issued the following) statement: “The result of this meeting has brought out the fact that there is no feeling of enmity between the mine operators and the! representatives of| the United Mine Workers of Ametica,| District 22. It has been shown that| the representatives of the miners are not in a position to negotiate an agree- | ment as requested by the operators for| the reason that the policy committee of their international organization has adopted the policy of opposing any di: trict agreements. Until this policy in| chahged, there appears to be no possi-| bility of an agreement. being reached| in this state. | “It happens that the situation } in ‘Wyoming is much different from that| in other parts of the country, in that) our people are not suffering on ac-| count of lack of fuel, and further, that| no industries have been forced to close down or are in immediate danger of being compelled to do so, on account of lack of a fuel supply. Also, consid- erable coal is being produced by so- called wagon mines which are supply ing localities, and a number of places within the state are supplied with-na- tural gas. While the situation ‘at pres- ent is not alarming, I can appreciate the fact that conditions may change so that the comfort, healh and well-being of the people of this state may be at- fected. Before sucha a contingency arises, I recognize that it is my duty as governor to adopt measures which will assure to the people of Wyoming an adequate supply of fuel. As such a’ condition does not at this time con- front us, it seems to the best interest of the people of the state that drastic measures be not taken at this time to open the mines, but rather that other |means be at least tried before such acton is taken. “I have requested the officials of the United Mine Workers to take up with the policy committee of the in- ternational organization and to use their best efforts to prevail upon the members of the coinmittee to allow ar. agreement between the operators and miners in this district. I have fur- ther requested them to endeavor to ob- tain a decision from their policy com- mittee at an early date, and have sug- guested .that some agreement should be reached within 30 days. I have rea- son to hope that an amicable settle- ment may be agreed upon.” Representatives of the mine workers during the conference expressed the opinion that there was no hope of an agreement between the Wyoming oper- ators and their employes without the sanction of the international officers, | Driver of Auto Is Seized With Load Of Poisonous Moon } G. P. Powers, declared by the police to be Casper’s “‘nerviest hooze carrier,’ is under arrest and out on a $200 bond to assure his appearance in court this| evening.

On the back seat of the machine! stood two large Uquor kegs, in plain sight of all who passed. Pedestrians, became suspicious and notified police headquarters.

In some quarters it was beltev- ed that the next move might come through the railroad Iabor board, It was pointed out that the board has power to grant full recognition to the new shopmen's unfons which forty eastern railroads, under the leader- ship of L. F. Loree, eastern regional chairman of the Association of Rail way Wxecutives, contemplate forming. Hopes for immediate peace were cen tered in the meeting of the officials of the Baltimore and Ohio raflroad with representatives of the strikers. Success in settling differences on that road probably would mean that other roads would adopt a similar course. Further spread of the walkout was considered unlikely since the an- nouncement that the ten thousand mecabers of the station agents union would remain at work, made by W. J. Noone, head of the unton, after a conference with W. i.. McMentmen, labor member of the rail board. How- ever, members of the local unton of firemen at Evansville, Ind., yesterday adopted resolutions recommending a strike unless armed guards were re- moved from the entire Louisville sys tem. Existing embargoes on freight have caused a shortage of commodities tn severa) cities and lack’ of transporta- tion has reduced the supply in a few lines.
