EXCITING EXPERIENCE
Vice President White Tells Of Ex-
element Ia Alabama.

John p. White, vice-president If
the United Mine Workers of Ameri-
ca, in the national organization is at
his home in this city for two weeks
rest and visit following the strenuous
campaign of which he was the center
on the side of the striking miners
in the Alabama. The experiences,
the worry and the constant turmoil
encountered by the official and in a
country where he was not acclimated,
had bad effect upon the health OF
the gentleman, and rest was neces-
sary. He is feeling better since he
has been at his home here.
Mr.. White addressed the meeting
of the local miners in this city Fri
day evening and was warmly received
There is only one topic in the minds
of all, and that is concerning the
strike conditions In Alabama, and
Mr.. White told in detail of conditions
only limited at by President Tom L.
Lewis in his Labor Day speech.
Mr.. White states that for ten, days
/ ilS was SudhlUS Will
every hour he was staying in Bir
| mingham, the center of the strike
He had been marked for assassina
| ton along with other officers of the
organization and he was exposed t
| personal encounter every time he
| went upon the street. He was me-
| by members of a so-called ''yigi
lance committee" consisting of bust
ness men of Alabama, who told hin
| plainly that he was to be lynched anc
the only thing they were waiting up
on was a favorable opportunity
Blood was demanded by the pres!
which attempted to incite to mo-
violence against the miners orgamza
ton. Attempt was made to stir VI
the race prejudice and hatred ant
to make 1t appear that the striking
miners were responsible. Fortunate
| ly for Mr.. White and the miners, tai
state of affairs was averted by hi
grasp on the affairs and by the tel
| mination of the strike by the ohicers

OPPOSED TO ALL WASTE
COMMISSION TO DEVISE MEANS
FOR PREVENTION.
Schedule for Conducting Inventory Of
country's Natural Resources Is
Made Public.

Washington, Sept. 1.-THE ma
tional conservation commission has
just made public the first of its sched-
ules on which the inventory of the
country's natural resources is being
conducted, 1t is plainly evident from
the inquiries being sent out that the
commission intends to hunt down
waste in all its varied forms and to
devise some means toaprevent it. This
is apparent in the general schedules
as to each of the four sections of the
commission-waters, forests, lands
and minerals.
For instance, the schedule relating
to lands inquiries into waste of soil
by erosion. That schedule also sug-
gests waste through bad agricultur-
al methods" The lands schedAle like
wise goes intos waste sinn the carrying
capacity Of the public range in the
west The section of waters is in.
Iuiring into how much land capacity
If irrigation is wasted by not being
irrigated. More important still is its
suggestive inquiries tending to show
that we are wasting our waterways
an alarming extent by not using
them as We should Perhaps the
greatest form of waste brought out in
the entire schedule is that relating
20 water power. Two of the inquiries
are as follows: f-. a.
Are existing developed water pow
ers put to their full use?"
ITO what extent can coal be saved
by the substitution of water power?'
Under the head of flood waters
the commission inquiries: ITO what
extent are flood waters wasted?"
The minerals section of the com
mission is seeking to find out "the ma
ture and extent of waste in the min
ing, extraction and use of mineral prod
acts" and methods of preventing OF
lessening this waste" ...,.
The commission is conducting q
census by correspondence to find the
common wastes in the "wood-using in
dustries."
The return from the inquiries will
form part of the report of the conser
walton commission.
