STRIKE FAVORED
By Business That Price Of
Cotton May BE Increased

Memphis, Tenn Business men who
continually denounce strikes by work
ers. and demand the passage of cant
strike legislation, have agreed with
cotton growers to launch a huge cot
ton strike next year
At a conference Of southern bank
ers, merchants and farmers in this
city cut in 1921 cotton production
was agreed to-
The conference declared that no
farmer shall plant to cotton the COM
I ing year more than 33 l-3 per cent Of
his lands under actual cultivation ia
order that a So per cent reduction in
yield may be made effective Compli-
ance with the strike decision viii be
made effective mainly by bankers and
merchants, who will refuse credit to
any farmer who refuses to strike
State executive committees viii or
ganize the various cotton states with
voting or school districts as the unit
Land owners are asked to share in
whatever crops may be raised on their
lands on percentage basis and not
require any fixed sum or pounds Of
cotton for rent
The public press, law makers and
publicists treat this general strike
of cotton growers in a manner that
contrasts with a strike of wage earn
ers who are forced to suspend work
that their living or working standards
may not be reduced.
In the case of the cotton farmers
there is no hue and cry for legislation
against their will, even though the
farmers announce that their strike is
for the purpose of increasing the price
they will receive for their product

MOTHER TRUST
BUSTED

Washington United States
supreme court ha busted another
trust in a decision ordering the Le-
high Valley railroad to divest itself
OF the Lehigh Valley Coal Company.
When the news reached Wall street
the railroad company's stock advanc-
ed in price on the theory that the
stockholders will receive valuable
rights as a result of the dissolution.
It was shown that since 1868 the
railroad purchased coal lands for the
express purpose of preventing compe-
tition in the transportation of coal
The railroad owns all stock of the
coal company, and the combined hold
ings of coal lands was placed at 90,-
900 acres, "of which more than 10000
were along the railroads lines" In
1912 the railroad organized a sales
company and made contract with it
fer the purpose of evading the law
The courts decision is in line with
q decision made against the Reading
railroad.

COAL PROFITEERINC
rs Disgraceful," Declares
Senate Committee

Washington ~ Tremendous coal
profteering," "disgraceful and disas-
trous conditions" and "a national dis
grace" are some Of the indictments
against coal owners in preliminary
statement by the senate committee on
reconstruction.
The committee said there has been
tremendous proiteering in coal and
that the private interests in control
of its production and distribution are
unable to prevent continuance Of
the present deplorable situation"
The reputation of contracts during
the last six months, said the commit
tee, has been the primary cause for
the "disgraceful and disastrous condi-
tons
Senators Calder, of New York, Edge,
of New Jersey, and Kenyon, Of Iowa,
signed a supplemental statement in
which remedial legislation is urged.
The evils must be corrected, declared
Senator Calder. Senator Kenyon de-
clared that "if the matter is to 60 on,
|, for one, harsh as the remedy may
be, shall favor taking over the mines s"
Senator Edge said "The coal industry
cannot bring order out Of the pre-
vailing chaos and give even reason
able relief to the suffering people, so
| am ready to modify somewhat, in
this case, my opposition to govern
ment intrusion into private business
and to legitimate scrutiny"
Coal profteering, especially as it
has followed the priority orders Of the
interstate commerce commission, has
continued unchecked by the depart
ment of justice, and is a national dis
grace the committee said in its Joint
report Coal speculation has been
permitted to monopolize the trans
portation facilities of the country.

THE HUMAN SIDE
Wood knows how to appeal to
young men. Civilian soldiers of
the S9th and 10th divisions,
which he trained, all swear by
him. One youngester of the
99th declared that every man in
the divison-and there were 80, :
600 men in it--had a feeling that
Leonard Wood was looking after
his interests personally. And 50
he was, but of course with
thousands of soldiers under his
charge the great triumph was
that without making any attempt
to do so, Wood was able to i'm
press the individual soldier with
the feeling that he had his wei
fare atheart and would see to it
that everything possible and prop
er was done for him.
NO BITTERNESS OR RANCoR'
Leonard Wood, the man who
did more than anyone else to pre-
pare America for the war,
naturally hoped for a part in the
direction of the active forces.
He didn't get it, as all America
knows. When his commanders
told him to stay in America and
train recruits, he answered:

| WASHINGTON, Sept. 30-Leprosy,
a scourge of humanity since early his
tory, apparently has been conquered
10y officers of the United States public
health service in the leper colony at
Kalihi, Hawaii. Forty-eight sufferers
of the dreaded malady, who have been
| subjected to new method of treat
ment, have recovered to such extent
as to warrant their release on parole
and, after year, not one has shown
symptom of recurrence.
AS yet, no announcement of "cure"
has been made officially for some of
the government medical experts are
frankly skeptical of the results. 1t
may be years before an official and
final opinion is given.
The limit of the official claim is
set forth in joint report to the
public health service made by DR.. J..
I. Mcdonald, director of the leprosy
investigation station and superintend-
ing physician to Kalihi hospital, and
by President A. L. Dean, of the Uni
versity of Hawaii, as follows:
"It has been sufficiently established
that chaulmoogra oil contains one or
more agents which exert a marked
therapeutic action in many cases of
leprosy. We can not say yet that the
disease is cured, since we have no test
adequate to establish such verdict
Whether or not the apparent cures are

This view is shared by Senator Cap

who says there may have ben an erup-

have been caused by clouds of dust

The tongues of flame, in Senator

ground wells of oil. He said, how
ever, that volcanoes can appear in

earth's crust and that the greatest
catastropres have occurred from the
appearance of volcanoes where nobody
expected them.
For example, the geologist contin-
ued, Mount Etna rises out of post
Pliocene strata while the bolcanoes of
the Andes mountains in South America
arise from granite rocks. Therefore
the nature of the Apuan mountains did
not exclude the possibility of vol

(Umted Press Stall correspondent
PARIS, Sept. 29.-Thanks to the in
vention of Monsieur w. A. 10th, a
French scientist, working under the
auspices of the French Ministry of
Marine, ships in the future may be
guided by electric cable laid along
ocean beds. The same principle will
also be used in guiding airplanes.
By means of this new discovery,
which has just been officially tested
and approved by the French Ministry
Of Marine, it will be possible in the
future for both ships and airplanes in
the stormiest and cloudiest weather
that prevents the taking of cbserva-
tions, to keep mathematically to their
course.
While it is confidently believed that
this new invention will revolutionize
commercial navigation, both by sea
and air, it is asserted that the posi-
bilities to which it can be developed
for war purposes are even infinitely
greater. But on this latter aspect of
the case, French marine and aerial
authorities refuse to talk.
10th developed his idea in labora-
TRY work before the war, but is was
only with the close of hostilities that
he could proceed to actual expert
ments. These have been conducted off
Brest and it was there that Minister of
Marine Landry made his official in
spectiOn and test.
Like nearly all great discoveries, the
present one is exceedingly simple An
electric cable is laid along the ocean
bed, and in actual navigation these
would be laid along all the great trans
ocean routes. Over this cable tele.
graphic transmissions are constantly
sent.
In the bold of the vessel is placed a
receiTl'g apparatus that picks ur
these Geographic emissions and soun(
waves. These are carried to the cabir
OF the navigator where the latter car
