CONTROL
Of COAL RAPED
Labor Delegate Moves Probe
Into Cost Of Production
and Prices.

LONDON, Nov. 28.-What was re-
garded as a vote of censure on the
policy of the government In connection
with control Of the coal output of the
United Kingdom was moved in the
house of commons today. The motion,
introduced by william Brace. a labor
member, called for the appointment OF
a committee to inquire into the cost
of production, the output and prices of
coal. Behind the resolutions the full
strength Of the labor party was mar
shaled. There was a full attendance
Of the house.
In presenting the motion, Mr.. Brace
declared the labor party had been try
ing to cooperate with the government
in a grave and difficult financial prob
lem, but that the government had de-
clined to permit the party's co-opera-
ton.
Mr., Brace asked why the government
was afraid Of a committee of inquiry.
The miners, he said, had been driven
desperate over the b.unders of the Goa
committee and the trade was working
into chaos. Development was retarded,
he declared,
He maintained that the industry re-
quired reorganizlng because the short
age in the output was not attributable
to the miners, but to the lack of de
velopment by the owners and to bad
transportation. The miners, he said,
| were prepared to cooperate with my
body and everybody on any system, in
order to obtain larger production.

AN APPRECIATION

By Charles E. Schenck, general
secretary Of the Illinois State Sum
day School association.
The 61st annual Illinois state
Sunday school convention has pass
ed into history. Before leaving
Rock Island l find myself in beau
tiful Denkmann Memorial library,
writing a few words in apprecia
ton of the splendid hospitality of
this enterprising city.
I have attended nearly every Il
linois state Sunday school conven-
ton since 1885, Without hesitation
may l not say that as far as l know,
none of them was managed locally
in as scientific fashion as the con-
vention just closed. Certainly the
Rock Island committees, under the
leadership Of John H. Hauberg, did
everything possible for the com
fort and happiness Of the delegates.
Everybody went away enthusiastic
as to local arrangements, and in
praise of busy, historic Rock Is
land.
Augustana college buildings and
the great auditorium of the college
made ideal housing for the state
meet. The college authorities did
all in their power to entertain the
convention, from President An
dreen's hearty words of welcome
till everything was packed up the
day after the close.
The convention wisely chose one
Of Rock Islands most honored citl-
zens-John H. Hauberg-for presi-
dent of the state association, thus
assuring substantial progress the
coming year. Mr.. Hauberg and his
committees established a record for
local registrations which is far
ahead of anything of the kind in
the past and which may never be
eQualed in the future. This con-
