LIBERAL AID FOR

Trans Missis sippi Commercial
Convention MemoriaIizes
Congress.
QUESTION is IMPORTANT ONE
0cerer Water Between ST. Paul and
ST. Louis is Recommend
ed.

The TTans-Mississ!ppi Commercial
congress, which ended it's convention
at st. Louis yesterday. recommended
the improvement by congress of the
Mississippi from st. Paul to st. Louis.
an Endorsement that will materially aid
the movement that has been started
by the Upper Mississippi River In
provement association, which organ
izat:on holds its third annual convcn-
ton the coming month at Dubuque.
Following is an extract from the reso-
luton adopted at the st. Louis meet
ing:
we recommend liberal eXpendi-
lures for the improvement of rivers
and harbors by the federal government
as one of the best and wiSest methods
of appropriating public funds. 1t is
the plain duty of congress to take hold
of the important question of river i'm
provement and flood control in a
lbroad-gauged manner. The cost of
necessary improvements to prevent
the continued interruption of inter
state commerce and an appalling loss
of life and property should be met by
the government and the localities af-
fected on an equitable basis.
Minimum Depth Of Six Feet.
I'VE urge congress to make appro-
priations for the Improvement of the
Mississippi river between the mouths
of the Missouri and the Ohio rivers,
between Cairo and the head of the
passes.
I'VE recommend the project for
deeper water throughout the upper
Mississippi between Minneapolis and
ST Louis and for the betterment Of
the river at the Des Moines rapids by
substituting a dam and lock for the
present canal. and heartily approve
house file bill 1924, pending in con-
gress
| I'VE indorse the project of improv-
ing the Mississippi river from Mime
apOlis to st. Louis so as to obtain a
minimum depth of six feet at all sea-
sons of the year"
| Utilization of Drainage Canal.
| Frank Wenter, of the Chicago drain
age board, in his address urged the
importance of the national government
utilizing the drainage canal as a ship
canal TO connect the great lakes with
1.-THE Mississippi river. The govern
ment has made a survey from the end
of the canal by way of the Desplaines.
Illinois and Mississippi rivers to st.
Louis. he said. and the report of the
lengineers would be submitted to the
next session of congress. There was
no question of the feasibility of a ship
canal. a channel of II feet depth
with commensurate width could be
CONSTRUCTED from LOckDIrt, the end of
the drainage canal, Mr. Wenter said,
to the mouth of the Illinois river for
s25. 100000 or s30,OOO.OOO. The cost of
a depth of II feet from the mouth of
the Illinois river TO St. Louis would I'M
doubtedly find a solution in the near
Ifuture-whether 1t was more practical
BILE to attain this depth in the Missis-
sippi or have separate canal con-
struction to or below St Louis. In his
opiniOn, the Mississippi valley was
bound 70 have a waterway outlet to
connect with the Panama canal The
convention did not indorse the Chi
cago drainage canal as a ship canal.

MINE OPERATORS MEET TO
TALK OF IMPENDING CRISIS
Hoping for Favorable Answer From
Hosting Engineers-Latter Say
They Control Situation.


after two hours discussion. decided by
a vote of 80 to s to stand by the &C
ton of their executive board in Chi
cago last Wednesday regarding the de-
mand that the hoisting engineers be
given the same rate of wages for the
ensuing year as for the year past. The
engineers have twice refused to arbi-
trats.
The coal operators of Illinois are
meeting al Springfield today to discuss
the impending crisis. r. l.. Lee. of this
city. manager of the Coal Valley Min
ing company, is q member of the ex-
ecutive board. He is attending the
meeting. The demands Of the loisting
engineers for increase in wages Nov
l and the strong position taken by the
operators against granting it has lead
to a crisis and there is danger of gen
eral suspension of mining in Illinois
The engineers say they have abso-
lutte control and that only engineers
may be employed who have certificates
from the state issued on passage of
examination. The situation is said to
be strained
I'VE are hoping the coal hosting
engineers will come to their senses
and that this dispute will be adjusted
in sane, equitable and businesslike
| manner"
This statement made by Herman
| JUST. commissioner of the Illinois Coal
Operators association, reflects the
| views of the owners of 240 bituminOus
| coal mines in Illinois, shutdown of
which is threatened because of the
refusal of the Coal Hosting Engineers
| union to arbitrate proposed reduction
in their wage scale amounting to 5.55
per cent No Overtures have come
from either side Snd unless a peace
move is made by the engineers before
Nov. l the operators declare the mines
will be closed down temporarily and
$4,000 men thrown out of work.
"All employees. including the hoist
| ing engineers. in the bituminous coal
mines in Pennsylvania, Ohio and In,
diana accepted a reduction in wages
of 5.55 per cent last spring" said Mr.
JUST. I'm Illinois all employees in the
mines agreed TO the same reduction,
with the exception of the Hosting En-
gineers' union.
"A year ago the hosting engineers
demanded an increase of $50 a month
and the matter was left TO Thomas
| Kidd. vice president of the American
Federation of Labor He decided that
an increase of 12h per cent was an
Equitable amount and we have paid ii
since that time. Trade conditions have
changed since that increase was grant

wages. All of the other employees have
