GARFIELD WARNS MINERS AND COAL OPERATC AS LONG AS GOVERNMENT" 9TAI PEOPLE OF COUNTRY WILL HATE COAL SUPPLY Speaking With Authority Fuel A'_ IsUatlon Tells Represented??? Men and Mine Owners That P Of U. S. Need Coal and N*ti>h>4 Can I)o Will Stop Tb*m Front ting It j People Partners In And Will Not Be Held Up WMfc EjftJ cesslve Prices. . * *^2 Washington, Nov. 18 ?a^? with the authority of President Wttt* son's, Cabinet, Fuel /vflnrtniBtratbr Qarfleld told representatives of f"* bitumionu8 coal operators and mine, here today that Vthe people of the Xju ted States need, must fcave and 1 have coal, and as long as the Gove. *?? ment stands they w?ll not be preveii^j ed from getting it by "anything the ow erators or miners may do." Dr. Garfield explained that his pueV pose wjas to furniBh the conference the' data which he would use in determin ing what wage advances, ir any, agreed to by the operators and miners, could be borne properly by the public. "/2 "The people of the United States arc willing to pay sufficient to maintain^ American standards., but the question is, What are American standards? The people want the operator* to hare a Just return, but what is just re-, turn?" "We all realize that in the g^eat coal industry the public is an important partner. At one time the operators and mine workers, like farmers* con sidered themselves peculiarly inde pendent. But the public has a para mount interest. "The people of the United States i{tU not consent to pay an excessive price for coal. We are all agreed to that, but .the question now fs,"*wftfij is an excessive price?' Nor will the people agrefe to go wythout this commodity, j "The people of the United States, j need, and must have and will have coal and they will not be prevented by [anything the operators and miners may do unless the government is dis solved into a chaotic condition. "I represent the people of the Unit ed States in a different sense from the (Secretary of Labor." Dr. Garfield said. |"It is part of Mr. Wilson's function to ? effcct conciliation. It is my sole ! function to exerci&e those powers con ferred on the Fuel Administrator to see that an adequate supply of coal is furnished the people of the United Sta I tes and to see th.n in times of stress !such as we are sfcill unhappily in the midst of the prices asked and received ,for coal are not excessive." I "In 1917." Dr. Garfield, said, "the i taxes amounted to 30c a ton average iiMtHK-miJM-iium t'n 1918, however, to come out of the margins, are somewhat less, I be lieve, than in 1917, but I will continue my investigation to detqrmine_^then> accurately." "Do you think the mine Workers should give consideration to the oper ators because they have to pay taxes?" asked John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers. "The question is whether the con sumer should pay enough to cover the excess profits tax at the "same time give the operators their normal pro fit too," replied Dr. Garfield. "If the Federal government?took all the profits, by taxation, even that circumstances should not prevent the miners from asking reasonable in creases," said Lewis. "Well, we must bear in mind that the Lever act guarantees a reasonable profit on the production of fuel, re turned Dr. Garfield. "Congress is responsible for all tax enactments."

DANISH VIOLI* 1ST, SKOY(.'AAKI>, PLAYS REMAKKABLY FINE PROG K AM. ^Deserving ;u> t iTfi^r times l.iiser than rfreone winch assembled torium, the Danish violinist. Axel Skov 'guard (pronounced Scow-gaw) played a program of rare beauty. Easily ranking with Ysaye, Kubelik -and other great violinists of today, he plays with authority,, fire and splen did-technique. His deep fervor in numbers like the concerto of Mendels sohn and the Chopin nocturne gives [place to a playful delicacy in rendi l tiona like Boccherini's minuet and Chammenade's Spanish Serenade. His work-is so satisfying that each mim ! ber seems better than the one pre I o ding it, and the applause proved that I any lack in numbers present was made [up in enChusiasm on the part of the i audience. ! The violinist was generous with en it ores, playing Traumerei, ttie Suwan (nee River, a lovely little Danish Rong laitd at the last, the Star Spangled banner. He plays with both brains and emo tion, and his strong, true bowing brings out the exquisite tone of his wonderful instrument. Madame Alice McCluing Skovgaard ?(-companies her husband with rare delicacy and sympathy. She played, for her solo number. Liszt's Polonaise in E major in a thoroughly artistic manner, being insistently encored. Slie is a most charming woman, grace ful and winsome. One of the audi ence remarked, of the violinist: "Skov taard isn't a bit of a freak, but a de lightfully appearing, wholesome gen- I tleman and a genuine artist." The vocal numbers or tlie evening i gave a perfect finish to the program, j The singer was Miss Blossom Wilcox, j an American product whose voice is i fresh, sweet and used w'th artistic I freedom. She is entirely free from nwannerism, and has exceptional!/ good enunciation. With attractive informality she announced her own number. First Mi?a Wilcox sang a , Jittle French folk song, in costume, | and "My Heart at Thy Sweet Voice." ' from Samson and Delilah. As an en core she gave "The Rosary." Her t second group included three little | songs?"Sweet Miss Mary." "Spring," and "Keep on Hoping." each charm ingly sung. Miss Wilcox has studied only ?in America and is proof that one iloes not need foreign training to be a : finished singer. Her bachelor degree in music is from Oberlin Conservatory >f Mus?c. and she was 'trained and ?oached by Frank La Forge and Dr. | Frederick Bristol in New York. In . private life Miss Wilcox is Mrs. Silvia P. Metcalf, of Washington, D. C.?The Miami Metropolis.

O. H. Guion has gained the admiration and confidence of the bar and people of Franklin County and by his splen did legal attainments and fine execu tive ability, has so administered the civil and criminal courts of the coun ty as to have finally relieved the lon& standing congestion of the dockets and to have promoted and advanced the principles of justice which should gov ern the enforcement of the law.
