FEDERAL ACTIOr: TIMELY OraMic Slop to Prevent "Coup dc Ktat by Agitators Taken at P&y etiological Moment. BY CARL W. ACKKRMAX. (Copyright by the Now York World. Pub lished by Arrangement.) NEW YORK. Nov. 1. New Tork aa the nerve center of. the nation con siders the miners strike as the cli max to the industrial revolutionary movement in the United States. The isue is now dearly hefore the coun try. The clash is between the radical loaders within the American Federa tion of La bo r and our government. These executives who have been pre paring for months to bring about strike conditions in an effort to force upon the nation their programme for industrial and governmental reorgan ization have so far succeeded that the government in self defense and in de fense of the public interest has been compelled to stand between those who secretly champion an industrial revolution and the mass of our citi zenship. Step Taken In lcW of Time, This drastic step by the govern ment has been taken at the psycho logical moment. If a general strike which has long been advocated and planned by the "1. V. "YW and its sympathizers within the American Federation of Labor is to be deferred or prevented in this country, it must be through the federal government. Because of the mass of confiden tial information in the possession of the president and cabinet, which es tablishes beyond any doubt a con spiracy of radicals to use the general strike as a weapon to overthrow the existing industrial order and the gov ernment if that is necessary to fur ther their plans, the government has Openly defied union labor leaders. Viewing the labor crisis from this strategic observation point the sig nificant aspects of the industrial war are these: 3. Secretary of War Baker accord ing to reliable information received here has placed the army at the dis posal of the department of justice because all of the radical activities in the country have 'been under the di rect observation of this department and this department must enforce thfi Injunction. General Strike In Sooffht. 2. 3f the objects of the mine lead ers who have called the strike are defeated at this time by the govern ment, the whole industrial revolu tionary movement in the United States will be broken because the leaders of this movement have depended en- tirely upon a general strike to bring theni suitress 3. In the opinion of the federal au thorities, and i have been in touch for some time with the leaders, the radicals have been so-successful with thfir policy of "boring from within" that they can control the . American Federation of Labor and its decisions despite the fact that a large percent age of union men are ignorant of the designs of their leaders. 4. The radicals have been success ful in bringing about strikes because they have seized upon unrest and dis content of labor in an attempt to capitalize it in support of their pro gramme. Federal Official Hnronrnicrd. 5. The attitude of the government has met with such extensive public support that the federal authorities are more encouraged tonight than they have ever been during months of anxious inquiry and preparation for such a crisis as faces them today. 6. The belief is gaining support in the east that the miners and steel strikes coupled with the recent threat of a railroad strike is part of a strike "coupe d'etat" to bring about the gov ernmental re-seizure and operation of mines, industry. There is, how ever, an exceedingly important point which both the business and public interests of the country may over look at this time, but which is giving the government great concern. For many mouths, the business interests of the nation have been looking for ward to a war upon labor. Conserva tive business leaders have been doing everything within their power to bring it about, believing that they could crush all aspirations of labor and labor leaders by defeating labor in a great strike. These conserva tives will see through the present situation because they expect the de feat of leaders of steel and coal strik ers to so weaken them and cripple their influence that labor will return - to the old basis. The government is cognizant of this fact, and for the present is using its power to defeat the purposes of the radical labor leaders who apparently defy the gov ernment and business. I.nlior Munt Be Satisfied. But those who are in the closest touch with conditions in the United States have pointed out to me during the past few days that while the posi tion of the government in the miners' strike pres.;: tly will destroy the plans of the rid'cals for an industrial revo lution, : will be up to the business men of tho country after these strikes are set'.lea to formulate a progressive business p.-cgramme to satisfy the conservat.ve desires of labor or the next attempt of the radicals will be directed against the government in stead of being concentrated on an in dustrial revolution. They will plan a political revolution. Instead of at tacking industry, they will attack the government. When this attempt of the mine leaders to tie up the country is de feated (and there is every indication that it will be), the future industrial peace )f the nition will rest in the lianas of the business interests, the men who v.-ill plan the political plat forms of trie presidential election of 1SI20. The United States has reached a crisis in its history, a crisis which is both economic and political. The great need is a constructive pro gramme for the present transitory pe riod and the future period of read justment and reconstruction. Situation In Analyzed. An analysis of the strike situation in the United States by men who have made the industrial unrest and radical activities a special study for many months reveals this interesting con dition: In the United States, as in any other country, the people are al ways led by a minority. In the past a governmental and business minority hns directed the policies and affairs of this nation. Even during the war the country was led by a minority of leaders who had the wholesome and enthusiastic support of the majority Of the people. After the signing of the armistice thero was such universal criticism bud couueiunaUou of the federal gov- BOR REVOLUTION DAUGHTER OF "TIGER OF FRANCE" TO LECTURE HERE. fir- 'vv-.

During this time radical leaders of labor aspired with a combined pro gramme of destruction and .construc tion. The strike was their destruc tive policy, the reorganization and re- apportionment of industry and prop- erty was the constructive programme. Secret Challenge Iasued.

AUDITORIUM GETS CREDIT Episcopalian Delegates Declare Fa cilities Won Convention.

The names of 63 were announced, the full number but one allotted to the United States this year instead of the yearly quota of 32. The 64th will be announced later. The same number- will be appointed next year. Professor Aydelote said, to make up for the two years during which the scholarships were suspended on ac count of the war. The men selected this year were those who would have gone to Ox ford in 1918 and 1919. respectively, had it not been for the war. Those selected as of 1918 will enter Oxford next January and those selected as of 1819 will enter next October. Competition la Kern. The competition was keener than at any time durinif the 15 years since the scholarships began. Professor Ay delotte said, due in large measure to Increased interest in England result ing from the war. A large proportion of the candi dates were men who had been In military service and many of them had already studied a short term at Oxford under the educational plan ar tanged by the American expeditionary forces. Interest in the scholarships was also increased by the announce ment that the University of Oxford would in the future offer the l'h. . degree. After next year the rettular yearly quota for the United States will be 32, the distribution among the states being so arranged that each state will send one man two years out of every three. The method of selection has been altered in two ways. Examination In) Abandoned. The qualifying examination in I-,at-:n. Greek and mathematics, formerly tequired of all candidates, has now been abandoned and committees of selection are composed of ex-Rhodes scholars acting under the chairman ship of one of the leading educational men of the state.

Both Oregon young men who are named for Rhodes scholarships are credited with having been exceptional students at Reed college, where their ability was marked to such an ex tent that each completed the regular four-year course in three and one half years, receiving the degree of A. B. By coincidence both of the graduates thus honored specialized in English, or "majored" in that subject. Stephenson Smith graduated in 1916, and has been engaged in high school work since then. He is at present, vand has been for the past two years, principal o schools at Toppenish, Wash. Frank Cudworth Flint graduated at the end of the term last spring, in the class of 1919. During the summer he worked in the local shipyards. At present he is an assistant instructor in the department of English at Reed college. He is also an assistant to Rev. W. G. Eliot Jr., pastor of the Unitarian Church of Our Father, in this city. He is 22 years of age. "Both Smith and Flint were high grade men, whose progress in Reed was watched with keen and appre ciative interest," said Professor Hud son B. Hastings, of Reed college fac ulty, when appraised of their selec tion for Rhodes scholarships. "I am elighted to know that they have been chosen." STEAMBOAT MAN PASSES Death of William A.

"This Tanlac just beats anything 1 ever saw to build up a run-down man and put him back on his feet again," ' was the statement made in an inter view a few days ago by Charles Peter sen. Route No. 3, Box 74, Beaverton,' Oregon. j "I su-ffered with stomach trouble and indigestion for five years." con tinued Mr. Petersen; "and kept getting worse until about a year ago my condition became alarming. My appe tite got down to almost nothing and what little 1 managed to force myself to eat made my stomach hurt so bad that at times I couldn't stoop over". All the time 1 went around with a heavy dragging feeling, and couldn't half do my work, and the truth is I ought to have been in bed many a time when I was at work. 1 suffered from a chronic case of constipation and I couldn't get a thing that truuld relieve me. and at night I was so restlec3 that I would wake up every two or three hours. I got so weak from loss of strength and loss of sleep that many times I just thought I would have to give up entirely In spite cf all I could do. "I have never seen anything like It: :lie way Tanlac brought me right out and overcame all my suffering is remarkable. Today I can go to the table and eat three square meals, something I haven't been able to do in five years, and my stomach is in fine shape and never gives me one particle of trouble.. 1 don't suffer from con stipation and I am not bothered with that heavy, groggy feeling any more. I am sleeping fine every night, have gained ten pounds in weight and can do as much work in a day as 1 ever could. I am in as good health as I ever was In my life and I just simply KO about feeling fine all' the time. I am telling all my friends whit T inlac has done for me and I am glad of the opportunity to give this statement and recommend Tanlac publicly." Tanlac is sold in Portland by the Owl Drug Co.

Seattle, it is declared. Is a difficult campaign city, but has proved un usually unresponsive towards Arme nian relief. For that reason New York headquarters decided to remove the northwest headquarters to Portland. 782 HERDSPflSSTESTS ERADICATION" OF BOVIXK TU BERCl'LOSIS INDICATED.
