MORROW TELLS
GOAL OPERATORS
'T0'BE REASONABLE
Country is Short of Fuel
and Transportation in
Bad Way.

That coal shortage Is yet kenly felt
in various sections east Of the Missis-
'sippi and this will have to be met by
coal operators before engaging in ex-
port business or otherwise they are
apt to be interfered with by govern
mental agencies, is the opinion of
]. D. Morrow, Washington, D. c., vice
president OF The National Coal Asso-
citation, who addressed a general oper-
ators' meeting yesterday afternoon IN
the Jacobs building. From what could
be gathered, there are many indus
trial consumers that have used their
coal supply right up to the notch and
viii need more fuel without delay.
II think 1t will not be necessary for
any compulsion on the part Of the
government to provide this supply of
coal as operators will no doubt cooper.
ate in seeing that these customers get
Ia necessary supply Of coal. The bad
weather and miserable car supply,
have caused general coal shortage"
The National Coal Association Is CO
operating With the Federal Trade com
mission and are paying attention to the
other demands made on the sssocia-
tion.
Stress was laid on the collection
Of aecuate data In reports by Mr..
Morrow. These have enabled The Ma
tional Coal Association to establish a
prestige with the various departments
Of the government. which have come
to realize that its figures and data are
both truthful and accurate. Cordial
relationship has been established be-
tween the various departments and
the association with the result that
matters are worked out both amicabiy
and satisfactorily to both parties con-
cerned.
The probabilities arc that II the
president signs the railroad bin that
the central coal committee viii pass
out Of being. The export market would
naturally open within few weeks.

that the measure is intended to open
a way to train adult blind men and
women of this state to learn at least
one of the few occupations that are
open to the sightless and in time be.
come either entirely or in part self
supporting.
1t has long been obvious to all
teachers and others having in charge
the education of the blind thar the
old experiment of trying to house and
educate blind children under the same
roof with the blind adults of both
sexes is radically wrong morally. ed
ucationally and socially. The admis-
sion Of adults to schools for blind
children has long since been abolish

Employment institutions and yure.
shops for the adult blind have been
established in many eastern and CEN
tral states during the last twenty five
years and they are in a large meas

taken off the streets and do not have
to wait any more to hear the coppers
Jingle in their tin cups. They respect
themselves and are respected by 9TH
ers because they are earning their
way.
AT the short session of the legisla-

flY So NOW i 5 entirely wrong to put
these grownups in with our blind chill
dren at the state school at salem.
Adults do not care to be placed in the
same classes with children. The in
dustrial work cannot be successfully
carried on where children are tryins
to work with the middle aged. Dis
cipline cannot be satisfactorily MAIN
tanned. The same set Of rules viii not
work for both old and young. We can
not have two sets Of teachers and
class rooms one for children and one
fr grownups. 1t has been proved many
times that q proper moral standard
among the blind inmates is next to
impossible where both sexes and all
ages are put In together.
A state Industrial institution for the
adult blind located in Portland would
render it impossible to make the
blind children's school at Salem
place to care for those grownups rem
dered sightiess through industrial ac-
cidents. It is not meant that these
victims of accidents and the other
adult blind of the state should be de-
MED a place; but that the place for
them is the proposed state workshop
for the blind for which the voters of
Oregon should roll up big majority
next Friday by voting for the passage
of the measure entitled. Blind school
tax measure"-316 yes.
Help the blind Vote small tax,
but don't drop nickels into a tin cup
on the street corner. A quarter thus
spent would do your bit toward Civ
ing all the adult blind of Oregon an
employment institution in which to
work for a living. Do not encourage
beggars. Put them in way to earn.
AS rule the adult blind want to work
They do not want to be idle and de-
pend on charity dny more than you
would if your sight should fail you
The lie mill tax and the 1-25 mill
tax mean that twenty and two thirds
cents would be the tax on every $1,000
valuation for the year 1921, and only
four cents tax on every $1,000 valua-
ton for maintenance each year there
after.
When so little money will do so
much good. in the name of humanity
can you refuse your support Of a
measure that gives to the man or wo-
man handicapped by the loss Of
sight, the opportunity that is the un-
doubted right Of every citizen of this
great state-the chance to make good
The right to his measure of happi-
ness? Left in idleness he can never
be useful, he can never be happy. 1t
is mere chance that makes the other
man blind where you and l see. lei
us give him an opportunity to sue
ceed in his chosen line; be 1t carpet
weaving or chair Gaming or piano tun-
| ing, be it. salesmanship, or hammocl,
making or operating telephone switch
boards. The adult blind are doing
these things successfully in othei
states. They can do them here IL we
will open the way.
