CRUELTY TO COPS
TOPIC DISCUSSED
Commissioners Favor Allow
ing Officers to Keep
Cool.

The police commissioners met last
night and chose as a topic of discus
sion the effect of the hot weather on
policemen. 1t was suggested that the
present rule compelling officers to
wear coats, buttoned from top to bot
tom, no matter how high the mercury
scared, could be classified as cruelty
to cops, so Chief Gormon was instruct
ed to permit his men more liberty in
dress during the summer months.
The chief win probably authorize
the wearing Of light uniform blouses
if the officers desire to do so, and the
night men who elect to stand by their
coats can occasionally slip them off in
secluded spots on their beats to get
a. little airing.
Some of the officers are opposed to
wearing blouses on the grounds that
it would result in an immodest expo
sure Of their revolvers, thereby sub
jecting themselves to charges that
they were trying to impersonate cow
boys.

Vocational Guidance and Training

How the Vocational Guidance Survey
of New York city voluntarily became
the Vocational Education Survey, be-
cause those in charge believed that the
really needful thing was to train chill
dren to be efficient rather than to find
jobs for them for which they were not
trained, is told in document just is
sued for free distribution by the United
States Bureau of Education.
What the children really want"
says Miss Alice B Barrows in the Bur
eau report, lis vocational training. The
kernel of truth in this popular move
ment for vocational guidance is the
need of vocational training for chill
dren. Vocational guidance should
mean guidance for training, not guild
ance for jobs. Hence, under present
conditions, the interests of public
school children can best be served, not
by the establishment of a vocation bur-
eau, but by the development of yoca-
tional training"
The survey was undertaken by a
joint committee of the Junior League
and the Public Educational Associa-
ton. 1t was organized for the purpose
Of studying a group of New York chill
dren leaving school to go to work, in
the hope of determining what voca-
tional guidance should mean to the
public schools of the city. Like all
careful investigations of recent times,
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1913-07-08

this survey demonstrated that eco
nomic pressure" accounts for only a
small proportion of the children who
leave school to go TO work
Investigation OF the children at
work showed that what they wanted
more than anything else was "a job
where you can learn" In most in
stances they were not getting l.. For
the most part their work meant moth
ing to them: they were rapidly devel-
opfng a feeling of protest against the
lack of individual attention and train
ing; against the military discipline and
inexplicable tasks"
On one point the New York report
is unusually explicit. There are no
jobs for children under Is which they
ought to take" it declares. Further
more, it emphasizes the need for more
information about industrial conditions
before attempting TO steer boys and
girls into positions. Neither the vo-
cational education survey nor any
other organization has adequate in
formation at present about the de-
mand for workers or the opportuni-
ties and conditions of work and train
ing in the twenty larger industries.
not to mention the legion of smaller
ones" Until more exact information
is at hand the vocational guidance
movement, says the report, will remain
little more than a body of good in
tentions without any clarified plan.

LABOR WAR STARTS
IN WEST VIRGINIA
Striking Coal Miners Opened
Fire Upon a Mountain
Camp.
TWO MINERS MISSING
(NationaI News Association

CHARLESTON, w. Va, July S.
Rioting such as has made life and
property in the Cabin and Paint Creek
coal fields unsafe for more than a
year past, broke out anew here last
night when strikers numbering about
one hundred and fifty hidden in the
thickly wooded hillside opened fire
with rifles upon the mining camp of
the Cabin Creek Consolidated Coal
company at Ohley on Cabin Creek.
The firing started about o'clock
when some of the miners who refused
to obey the strike call were leaving
the mine. Two miners whose names
were not given out are reported miss
ing by Supt. Harry Davis. Sheriff
Bonner Hill was notified of the shoot
ing and he held a hurried conference
with Governor Hatfield. The sheriff
was advised to consult with Judge
Henry K. Black of the intermediate
court and Judge Samuel D. LittIepage
of the Kanawha circuit court, since it
is the duty of those officers under the
law, to attempt to handle the situa-
ton before calling upon the governor
for assistance.
Power Plant Damaged.
1t is estimated that nearly 5000
shots were fired from the hillside.
Many of the bullets were directed at
the power plant and it is especially
damaged. This morning the rioters
turned loose a heavy mine motor at
the mouth of the mine and started it
down the long slope toward the tipple
below. Before reaching the tipple the
motor was derailed by the carcass of
a mule which had been previously shot
down on the tramway.
The Ohley mining camp is at the
mercy of the rioters as the company
has but half a dozen watchmen in
reach. Sheriff Hill is expected to send
a posse to their relief soon. Ohley is
located between Askdale and Miami,
both of which have large strikers
camps. At various points along Cabin
Creek, scattering shots were fired
from the hills this morning, but no
casualties are reported.
