Government Will Be Forced to
Refund Bonds Maturing
In 1923.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2. (By U.
P.) The government shortly will be
forced to ask the American people to
subscribe to a huge loan of from $7,-
600,000,000 to $8,000,000,000. mem-
bers of the senate finance committee
declared toduy.
This Bum will be required by 1923
to pay back to American citizens the
money they have already loaned and
for which they hold Victory notes,
war Havings stamps and short-time
certificates of indebtedness. These
obligations must be paid in cash and
to obtain this huge sum a new loan
must be floated.
Appeals will probably be made to
these bondholders to change theU
holdings for new bonds.
I. S. Cannot Pay.
In other words, according to sen-
ators, the government tiijds itself
unable to pay oTf any of this debt
and must renew it for a further term
of years.
"There is absolutely no way
around this," said Senator Smoot,
Utah, today.
Smoot is the first official to make
this statement publicly, though
treasury officials and members of
congress have for a long time faced
the certainty that it will be impossi-
ble to raise enough money by taxa-
tion between now and 1023 to retire
any considerable portion of the
short-term indebtedness.
"We'll be lucky if we get enough
revenue to meet our current ex-
penses and obligations." said Smoot.
"We must refund the 1923 debt.
There won't be enoygh taxes to
touch it, even if
burden on the America!
are now bearing."
Then it became apparent that do-
mestic revenues would not provide
sinking funds to meet the 1293 debts,
officials sought some way of collect-
ing from Europe enough of the $11,-
000,000,000 owed the United States
to help out. The treasury stilt hopes
that will be possible. It is merely a
hope, however.
FORD PRICE CUT
THRICEJN YEAR
DETROIT, Sept. 2.— (By U. P.) —
Edsel Ford, president of the Ford
Motor Car company, today an-
nounced another reduction in priced
of all Ford model automobiles and
trucks. This is the third reduction
in twelve mouths and the new prices,
which are effective immediately,
average $70 lower than before, even
those of 1917. Slashes range from
$45 for runabouts to $10o for sedans
and coupts.
The production of Ford oats and
trucks for August again broke all
previous high records with the total
reaching 117,69(5.

QUARANTINE
TIGHTENED
Cotton Tick and Cotton Boll
Worm Cause Stricter
Regulations.
Important quarantine regulations
were passed by the state board of
agriculture in its second day's ses-
sion Friday, involving the dipping of
cattle brought across the Texas-Ok-
lahoma line, and shipments of cotton
seed from New Mexico, J. A. White-
hurst, president of the state board of
agriculture, announced Friday.
The new regulation regarding dip-
ping for cattle ticks goes into effect
Jan. 1, 1922, Whitehurst stated.
Oklahom farmers in the extreme
southeastern counties have been
damaged to the extent of $250,000 in
the past ten years, he estimates. All
cattle shipped into the state from
Texas, or shipped through the state
from Texas, must be dipped ten days
before, according to the new regula-
tion.
By the other order issued, cotton
seed, or any of its products, cannot
be shipped here from New Mexico
because of danger of spreading the
boll worm. Some damage was done
in this way this year, Whitehurst
declared. All cotton seed, and cot-
ton seed products, other than feed,
which are to be used for commercial
purposes must udergo a heat treat-
ment of 150 degrees Fahrenheit be-
fore-it will be allowed to enter the
state.

WOMAN WHO RESISTS
BANDITS MURDERED
MILWAUKEE. Wig., Sept. 2
Bandits today shot and killed Mrs.
Sophie Hoyer, wounded her hus-
band and daughter.
Four armed men attempted to rob
the Hoyer farm home near here. Mrs.
Hoyer resisted and was shot to
death. The daughter's arm was shot
off. Hoyer was not seriously in-
jured.
LABOR, THE HOPE OF THE WORLD
To make the world safe for labor, is its biggest task
today. Labor cannot do this, however, without making
the world safe for all the people. We have been engaged
in making the world safe for democracy, whatever that may
mean. But we have not yet made the world safe for labor
and safe for the farmer.
But we are on the way. The future is ours. We will
make the worlu saft^tor labor, not only in West Virginia,
but in all the world. Everywhere labor is becoming more
intelligent, and insists on having a share in the voice of
industry. This share is small in the beginning, but with
the increasing education and knowledge of labor, this
share in the voice of industry is constantly increasing,
and justly so.
First it is the Railroad Brotherhoods proposing the
Plumb Plan for the operation of the railroads, and before
many years elapse some solution along these lines must
be and will bo found for the transportation problem, the
welfare of the railroad workers, and the welfare of the
people.
Next it is the miners who propose the nationalization
of the mines, so that a miner may have steady and con-
tinuous employment to enable him to own a home, to have
a family life, and earn more than a mere pittance in return
for the wealth he produces.
The struggle of labor is not merely for a living wage.
It is not merely for a reduction in hours. It has become a
question of the welfare of the people as a whole. Labor
insists on seeing the books of the owners of industry. It
insists upon an accounting. It insists that industry is not
for the purpose of piling up untold millions and billions
lor the enjoyment of a privileged class in society, but is
for the welfare and enjoyment of society as a whole.
The welfare of society is therefore directly dependent
upon the welfare of labor. The one cannot be separated
from the other. It is labor that must solve society's prob-
lems. The man that works for a living, whether in office,
field, or factory, the brain worker and the manual worker,
every one, all of them are therefore part and parcel of the
labor movement. They may not hold a card, they may
not be members, but their welfare, their wages, their hours
of labor, their leisure, their home life, all of it is bound up
in the general labor movement. But it is the organized
movement, the organizations of labor, the organizations of
farmers, the co-operative organizations, that are hiaking
the fight for the better day, for the better time to come
with the gradual change in industry to a more democratic, .
to a more representative form than we have today.
This then is our task for the future, to educate our
own members and every worker to the necessity of organi-
zation, so that even the tiniest worker, the most obscure
in industry, the man in the office and the man jn thiulitdi
h. ii>n .oll>w!eognfte that the wrlfai-e ol labor also means
their welfare. >.
Let us see to it that a year from today, the organiza-
tions of labor will be more numerous and more powerful
than they are today. Let us use our economic power, our
purchasing power, our co-operative power, and last, but
not least, our political power to push the giant of labor
along the road where he assumes his rightful share in
industry and society.

Federal Intervention
Halts Bloody Battle
BY HAROLD D. JACOBS
United I'rttits Stnff I'orre-jioiideiU
WITH THE MINERS IN THE
FIELD, LOGAN COUNTY. (By
Courier to Madison, W. Va.,) Sept.
12. West Virginia's civil war was
about at un end today.
| The army of crusading miners, per-
haps 6,000 strong, prepared to lay
"down, or pocket its arms, and go
home wht n federal troops arrived on
the battlefield.
! The government's intervention was
1 :tII that saved this region from seeing
one of the bloodiest battles in indus-
trial warfare in history.
I can make this statement authori-
tatively after a thorough survey of
the situation in the battle zone and
conversations vith hundreds of em-
battled miners. They h.id leached
a point where they recognized no
authority but that of the ! lilted
States government.
Faith ill Onl) One l.avv.
The miners were obessed with the
i single idea the only law under
| which they could get a square deal
was that administered at Washing-
ton and they Were going on fighting
until that law was invoked
My observations during a visit to
the vicinity of the firing line In ths
region convinced me of the danger
that the skirmishing might at any
i moment flare up into ;i major en-
gagement with casualties on both
sides numbering hundreds where to-
| day there had only been cores,
j "The minute the feedral troops
come In here, we will throw down
J our arms and go home. Until then
w< frill fight ii I'd flgM Ittti !'• 1 A
leader of the miners told me. "We
can't trust anybody now but the
United States government. We were
doublecrossed by the stay- and
county authorities. Our own offi-
cials are powerless without govern-
ment hacking.
To l ight Them VII.
"If the regulars don't come in ve il
have to settle this ourselves. We'll
fight the state constabulary and mine'
; thugs until we lick them or get
licked. And before we're licked prac-
tically every union miner in West
Virginia will be on the firing line."
I Ths conversaton was punctuated by
the sharp cracking of rifle fire and
the occasional rattling of a machine
■ gun, pop-popping somewhere just
beyond the little wooded hill that
was our shelter from the fire.
Farmers and storekeepers d'ong
the line laughed at reports that
1 miners had broken in and stolen food.
"Why, the boys wouldn't have to
1 do that." they explained. "We're glad
ito give them anything they want."
The sight of these miners, drudging
! along the road munching dry bread
and drinking stale water while
| shoats, chickens and ducks waddled
alongside, seemed further to belittle
stories of food thefts.
