United Mine Workers of

Indianapolis, Dec. 1.-The commit
tee Of the United Mine Workers of
America which *has been Investigate
ing the question of old age pensions
of members of the organization, and
which will recommend in its report
that pensions of $40 a month be paid
union miners IS years old or more
after 1928, has made extensive in
vestigations, according to reports to
the national headquarters here. The
committee in it's report will, it is an
nounced, advise against a home for
aged miners, taking that action after
having visited the homes for aged
union members maintained by the
International Typographical Union at
Colorado Springs, and the Printing
Press and Assistants Union at Rog-
ersville, Tenn, as we'll as number
of homes maintained by fraternal So
cieties and national soldiers homes
The attitude of the committee as
revealed in advance announcement is
not against the homes as places of
shelter, but is based on the belief that
the men Of advanced years should be
enabled to subsist without being COM
PEELED to leave their families and live
in an institution.
AS a result OF its investigation the
committee estimates that at least T.
600 miners, en- the basis of the pres
ent membership, will be eligible for
pensions under the proposed plans.
If a per capita. tax Of rs cents a month
is levied by the next biennial conven-
ton, it is estimated that at the end of
the five year period, at which time
the pensions will commence, the or
of 100000, principal and interest,
on which to start meeting the cost of
the system. AS more money is OBJ
tanned for the pension fund, payments
could be increased, the age limit low
cred, or the per capita tax reduced, it
is said.
The committee was appointed last
spring by President John P. White
under authority given him in a reso-
luton adopted at the last biennial
convention in Indianapolis.

TO HAVE MELON FESTIVAL
JuIiaetta Plans to Celebrate During
Height of Season

JULIAETTA, Idaho, July 31.-A
movement has been started toward the
holding of a melon festival at Julia
eta during the height of the melon
season this years along lines similar
to those in effect at Payette, Idaho,
and Rocky Ford, Col.
The melon festival would have for
its object the advertising of the Julia
eta product, which already has a rep
utation for excellence. The melons
would largely be donated by the
growers.
w. F. Albright, a truck gardener
who has a farm several miles below
Juliaetta on Big Potlatch creek, will
this year have six acres of melons.
He states that the present outlook is
bright for a good crop of melons this
season in the Juliaetta section

GOVERNMENT HELPS
FIND HARVEST HANDS
Activity i'm Industrial Centers, RevIy-
al of numbering, And Increased
Shipping Makes Labor Shortage
Here

Palouse farmers will have the as
sistance of the United States bureau
of immigration in harvesting theil
crops this year, not that the employees
of the department will turn out tt
| lend hand in the fields, but the en-
ployment department of the bureau
will make an effort to find harvest
hands to supply the shortage of labor
in the west this summer.
In letter addressed to the Star
Mirror, immigration Inspector w. J.
Mcconnell says.
The immigration office in your city
has no money to pay for advertising
the efforts of the department of labor
to find employment for the unemploy-
ed and employees for those in need
of help, hence I appeal to your we'll
known generosity to give publicity to
the fact that this office stands ready to
aid both employer and employe.
The grain harvest is close at hand,
and as there are no idle men in the
Palouse country at present, it appears
probable that there will be shortage
of help to save the growing crop. If
farmers and others, who anticipate a
need of help in the near future will
file an application with this office
therefor. l shall endeavor by cor
respondence with distribution branch
es of the department in adjoining
states, where there may be a surplus
of labor, to supply their needs.

HEARING ON HIGHWAY
TO CONNECT THE PARKS
Argument Presented for Thorough
fare From Mac0mb Street to
Klingle Ford Road.

With the intention of reaching an
early decision the District Commissions
ers today took up the vexed problem
of establishing "A connecting roadway
between the subdivision of Cleveland
Park and Rock Creek and Zoo Parks.
At public hearing before the COM
missioners this morning residents of
Cleveland Park urged that this object
be accomplished through the building
of connecting road from Macomb
street to klingle Ford road.
Another plan under consideration,
which has the support of the Chevy
Chase Land Company. is that the grade
of Elingle Ford road be raised to the
grade of Connecticut avenue. This
would mean filling the entire Klingle
Ford valley west of Connecticut ave-
nue. by excavating dirt on the high
land south of this road.
Cleveland Park citizens oppose this
plan on the ground that it would de-
stroy the natural beauty of the valley.
Among the protestants at today's
hea1<lgs were J. +. Tufts. Mitchell Car
roll A. r Gage. Arthur f. DoweIl' and
Glenn Brown.
The proposed connecting road be
tween Macomb street and Klingle Ford
road contemplates a low grade cross
ing under Connecticut az nue. bridge
at the present grade of klinSle Ford
road
jackson Fl. Ralston, attorney for
the Chevy Chase Land Company, ad-
vocated the plan of raising the grade
of KlingIe Ford road, but said the
company would make no objection to
the proposed extension provided it is
put through in such a way as not to
obstruct the use of the company's land.
Surveyor Melvin c. Hazen recon-
mended to the Commissioners the high
grade plan, provided the land company
will undertake to fill the valley and
provide satisfactory agreement with
the owners whose property abuts
Klingle Ford road. In the event a sat
isfactory agreement cannot be reached.
he recommends that the street extern
sion as proposed by the residents of
Cleveland Park be authorized, in order
that the valley shall not become a pub
lie dump and nuisance.

Admiral Stanford told the committee
when the dock now built at Charleston
navy yard was designed in 1902 il was
intended to accommodate any naval
vessel, but that ii was outgrown by the
increase in dimensions of
naval craft by the time it was conf
