RUSTLING CARD OPPOSED
Enthusiastic Greeting Given to Mon
tana Congress-woman, at Meet-
lng of Miners Copper la
Essential to War,
aU'i'TE, Mont., Aug:. 18. Miss Jean
taette Rankin. Montana's Congresswom
an. this afternoon addressed a mass
meeting' of miners and workingmen at
Columbia Gardens, a mountain park
five miles from the city. iShe declared
herself against the "rustling card" sys
tern which, she insisted, has had the
effect of preventing miners of this dis
trict from organizing. She asked the
miners to declare that were the rustling:
cards abolished they would return to
work.
Throughout her speech she warned
her audience of worklnifnien that the
United States is a country at war, that
war spells sacrifice, that the copper
miners at their work are among: the
most Important of the country's war
riors.
Miss Rankin was preceded on the
platform by Tom Campbell, Joe Phan
non. alleged Industrial Workers of the
"World leaders of the Metal Mine Work-
. ers' Union, and Judge J. J. Lynch, of
the District Court. The Congressworaan
was enthusiastically cheered by the
crowd as the friend of labor.
After calling- attention to the new
problems that the Government and the
country are facing as a result of war,
Miss Rankin said, in part:
Direct Action Opposed.
"Carried along on the waves of mis
guided patriotism have come subtle at
tempts to destroy the industrial stand
ards of this country standards which
have been wrought with so much toil
and strife and suffering during the
last half century. It is misguided
patriotism that believes that direct ac
tion has a place in civilized society.
"I have no patience with that spirit
wnicn seeks to destroy property to
satisfy personal grievances, or in the
thought that direct action can right
existing wrong. The men who destroy
the grain fields are taking the bread
from a hungry child. The burden of
waste always rests heaviest on the
weak on those least able to stand the
Etraln.
Little's Murder Condemned.
"I have no patience with the alleged
utterances of Frank Little, but I have
the greatest contempt for that form of
direct action that permitted the foul and
cowardly murder of Frank Little. Law
lessness has no place in organized so
ciety. "For some years the Anaconda Con.
per Mining Company has been using
is canea m uutte the 'rustling
card system.' This rustling-card sys
tem is practically a blacklist on a Na
tional scale, or perhaps It had better
be called a "white list.'
"I am convinced that the demands of
labor in this trouble are Just and should
fce granted. If the rustling card can
be defended in theory, its abuses in
Butte have been reprehensible and
cannot be defended, il am convinced
that you are entitled to the wages
that you demand and I hope that you
can obtain them. But I implore you
always to bear in mind that this is
the greatest and most liberty-loving
nation in the world, and is engaged in
war. in the most tremendous conflict
recorded in history, and we must all
put our shoulders to the wheel.
Copper Necessity to Country.
"The young manhood of the country
!s bearing the brunt of this conflict
We must spare nothing to save as many
of their lives as possible. And to save
their lives, let us increase the output
of copper a basic necessity of this
war. Without copper, this war can
not go on. You. the copper miners of
this country, risking your lives and
your health in the mines, are the most
needed warriors at home. There has
been an alarming decrease in the pro
duction of copper in the last few
months.
"I am Informed that if the rustling
card is abandoned, the miners will go
back to work. I ask you now, is that
true?"
Miss Rankin stated that she -understood
a number of the mining com
panies operating here do not use the
rustling card. She then declared that
the United States must have copper
to prosecute the war. whether it is
furnished by the companies or by Gov
ernmental operation of t.he mines. She
pledged her support to the bettering
of the conditions of the miners and
appealed to them to strive to bring
about a peaceful solution of the exist
ing troubles.

to women holding office. She thinks that most women are not strong enouch
to hold .a public post. She is not sure whether she will be able to hold hers.
Mrs. Horwitz intends to make a thorough study of civic government and
criminal court practices, and intends, now that the post has been forced upon

Efficiency In Prosecution of 3fod-
ern Warfare Said to Depend on
Morale Use of Bayonet One
of Chief Requirements
BT LAMAR TOOZE.
PLATTSBURG BARRACKS, N. T
Aug. 18. (Special.) The country is
going to expect prompt and decisive
results from the recently commissioned
officers in the Officers' Reserve Corps.
Those results will depend upon the
thoroughness of the three months'
training at the training camps scat
tered throughout the country which
have Just closed.
It's going to be a man's-sized job to
Put an army of 500,000 in Franoo in
the comparatively short time that. will
be 'allowed and have the men thor
oughly trained for the efficient prose
cution of modern warfare.
Discipline is the key to success in
this war. we have been told so many
times. Not the sort of grammar-school
discipline that will train, men not to
break the rules of camp or company,
but that kind of discipline morale
that will send a man "over the top"
amid a shower of leaden rain and hid
eous noises: that "will cause him to ad
vance steadily for hundreds of yards
behind the protecting barrage of ar
tillery fire until "he is within stone's
throw of the enemy trench; and finally
to resort to that most repulsive weapon
of modern warfare the bayonet. The
English have cultivated that brand of
discipline; America can do it.
The bayonet has achieved great im
portance' in this war. So much so that
a French- General was caused to re
mark that the rifle nowadays s valu
able only because it holds the bayonet.
Obviously bayonet fighting is a per
sonal affair, which makes it so repre
hensible. Fists or feet may supple
ment steel wherever possible. Ger
mans, it Is said, are not proficient in
this kind of warfare, although their
rifle with bayonet attached is consid
erably longer than our Springfield.
Their training has been collective: in
dividuality has been lost in the desire
for highly centralized organization.
Next to training in fighting is the
proper safeguarding of health. It re
quires a strong physique to withstand
the rigors of twentieth century war.
Conditions in the trenches at best are
not conducive to the improvement of
health. Sanitary rules cannot be ex
actly carried out. Exposure is inevit
able and every man in the front line
trenches will be subjected to a severe
nervous strain.
Can the new officers train the Na
tional Army to that degree of effi
ciency that will not only develop good
fighters but physically sound fighters?
The next few months will answer the
question. Their training has been the
best the Army can offer. The Govern
ment has left nothing undone in its ef
fort to inculcate the principles of war
into the minds "of men who three
months ago were devoting their ener
gies to civil pursuits. ,
The men have worked hard. . Since
the camp started in May there has
been ceaseless activity. Sometimes
when there would be a break in the
schedule and the candidates were plan
ning how they would employ the res
pite, they would be herded down to the
dispensary and have an Army surgeon
pum Xew. mUlioA .tyjb.oid-or small
pox "bugs" in their arms; or some
thing else would happen.
Commissions were given without fa
vor. Age, experience, promise of de
velopment and application seemed to
be the standards for selection. Many
men were commissioned as Captains
who had had no previous experience.
A friend of mine at the Harvard Law
School won the two bars because he
demonstrated that he could handle men
even though he was not letter perfect
in the various drills. One day he was
corporal of his squad, two men refused
to obey orders, and h took it upon
himself to discipline them. Another
time he had two Reserve Officers in
the squad and when they attempted to
criticise his method of conducting the
unit, he promptly informed them that
he was commanding the squad and
punctuated his remarks with some
good Swedish profanity. The profanity
furnished the motif for a report to the
regular Army instructor, which re
acted to the offender's benefit.
"SERVICE HANDBOOK" OUT
All Citizens Told Where Best They
Can Serve Their Country.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 18. A "Nation
al service handbook," designed to point
the way to opportunities for serving
the Nation during the war, was pub
lished today by the committee on pub
lic information. The volume contains
about 250 pages and includes an ex
haustive compilation of data about the
Government, Army and Navy, and the
many semi-official and independent
committees and organizations which are
helping to fight the war. Persons of
every occupation and trade are shown
where they can best apply their abili
ties and energies for the public welfare.

cial.) The first carload of pears from
Oregon was shipped from this city last
Wednesday to New York. They are ex
tra fine Bartletts, which, judging from
the prevailing New York markets
should bring first-class prices.
President - Expected to - Requisition
All of Mined Product and to Sell
It at Cost Plus Definite
Profit Allowance.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 18. Indications
that the Government la preparing to
take control of the coal industry
strengthened today when President
Wilson paid a visit to the Federal
Trade Commission and Went over with
its members estimates of coal produc
tion costs and recommendations for
dealing with the situation completely
by the Commission after months of
Investigation.
Definite action to reduce prices to the
consumer and to bring about a better
distribution. It was learned, will be
taken early next week.
Officials of the trade commission say
no scheme could be worked out, either
under a requisitioning system or a
straight price-fixing plan, whereby It
would be possible to pay uniform
prices for coal at all mines.
Priority of shipment is recognized as
one of the biggest problems confront
ing the Government in. any solution of
the coal situation.
Judge I.ovett to Direct.
Two laws recently put on the statute
books, officials believe, give the Gov
ernment full power in that respect.
They are the act empowering the Presi
dent to direct priority for certain ship
ments and the act giving the Interstate
Commerce Commission power to di
rect the movement of cars. .
Powers vested! in the President by
the priority act probably will be turned
over to Judge jJovett next week.
The President is deeply concerned
over the coal situation. Even repre
sentatives of the operators admit that
parts -of the country face a shortage
this Winter. Complaints are pouring
in that prices are out of all reason.
The fact that several Governors are
threatening to take over the industry
in their states is prompting early Fed
eral action.
Three Plans Possible.
Three coures are open to the Presi
dent. Under the food bill he may fix
prices at the mines and to consumers,
or he may direct some Government
agency to requisition the output of all
mines, selling- it to the public. The
third course would contemplate a vol
untary agreement by operators to sell
at a fair price, with the Government
directing distribution.
Officials who have followed the sit
uation most closely believe the Presi
dent will direct the requisitioning of
all coal mines.
This, it is understood, is the recom
mendation of the trade commission,
which has- worked out a plan of pro
cedure. The requisitioning plan, if adopted,
would call for a division of the coun
try into districts. Every operator
would be paid for his product on a
basis of cost of production, plus a def
inite percentage of profit. All the coal
in a district could be pooled and sold
to the public at one price, although
the prices fixed for different districts
might vary considerably. Allowance
would be given operators for quantity
production and efficiency of service.
HAWAII SHORT OF GOAL
AGENTS ARE TRYING TO LINE UP
TONNAGE FOR. THIS "WINTER.
Industries In Islands May Be Forced to
Seek Fuel In Japan Unless Con
ditions Change Soon.
According to word in local shipping
offices, coal Is getting scarce In the
Hawaiian Islands. Officials of some of
the leading manufacturing plants there
have agents everywhere trying to line
up tonnage to bring them much-needed
coal and supplies. One of the men is
said to have been In the local field a
few days ago.
An effort is being made to get some
of the boats ' In the Alaska cannery
trade to take coal from British Colum
bia over to the islands.
Several attempts have been made by
the Hawaiian interests to arrange sat
isfactory terms with the owners of
sailing craft plying out of Seattle and
other northern ports for service this
Fall afetr the close of the cannery sea
son, but so far without success.
As high as $10 per ton for the trans
portatio nof coal from the British Co
lumbia mines to Honolulu has been of
fered by business interests in the is
lands, but so far, according to report,
no contract has been signed even at
this high figure.
It la probable industries in Hawaii
may be forced to seek fuel in Japan un
less conditions take a quick turn to the
better.
