President Thos. c. Miller Resigns.


Prof. Thos. C. Miller, who has been
at the head OF Shepherd College State
Normal School since 1909. has tender
cd his resignation to the State Board
of Education, and will give up the
strenuous work as head of this institu-
ton. Ii is likely that he will haze a
place in the State University in Nor
gantown, where the responsibility will
not be so burdensome. In the eleven
years that Prof. Miller has been at the
mead of Shepherd College the school
mas prospered greatly and important
progress has been made In all of its
departments. He has caused new de-
paTtments to be added. the faculty
has been largely increased, and the
general work extended in various
branches. II was during his admins1
tration that the valuable property at the
north edge OF town was purchased and
the handsome dormitory for girls
erected. Mr.. Miller has always been
devoted to Shepherd College and its
interests, and the school will long feel
the influence of the high-minded
Christian gentleman who has been its
president during the past eleven years.
The students who have been under his
care and his friends in our communi-
~ will follow him with their good
wishes.
II is stated that the new President
IF Shepherd College will be Wilson n.
5. White, though no definite appoint
ment has yet been made. Mr.. White
is a well-known West Virginia scnool
man; and has been in Shepherdstown
rs participant in the programme of
the Potomac Valley Round Table. He
made good record as principal OF
the Piedmont High School. and from
there was called to be superintendent OF
schools AT Logan, w. Va, where he has
Seen very highly regarded The school
board Of that place has given him uo
very reluctantly.
II has not been stated when -,
new president will take charge OF his
Office.

per cent of cotton cloth, as per cent
of paper, 20 per cent of glass, SO per
cent of shoes and so per cent of steel
products.
Our wonderfully industrious and
freely educated people have proven
their worth from a purely dollar and
cent standpoint, by enriching the
world with "a per cent of all the ag-
ricultural products, 40 per cent of all
the mineral products and "a per cent
of all the manufactured products.
This" Mr. Holder forcibly stated,
was accomplished by our per cent
of the worlds population"
His figures showed also that the
nation stood equally high in the de
velopment and increase of manufac-
tured products. In the year 1850, the
working men and women in industry
in this nation produced values equal
TO $l,O64 per capita, and in 1910 pro-
duced $3,125 per capita. showing an
increase of 1913 per cent in sixty years.
He added that the nation had not pro
duced money alone, but had also made
self reliant, resourceful citizens.
These figures" Mr.. Holder con-
cluded, clearly show the relation of
education to industry. They are a
tribute to the educational system of
the United States. and prove most
emphatically and eloquently that la
Dor on our farms and in our industries
is active, intelligent, industrious, loyal,
and wonderfully productive"

D|SCONTENT NOT
BAD SIGN SAYS
. LABOR LEADER

ESPECIAL cosRUsPoapEscE TO MORNING JOURNAL
Washington, Jan. 6.-The present
industrial discomfort portends good
for the future. Unrest is nothing TO
be alarmed about, but is rather a sign
of approaching prosperity. These
were the statements of Arthur Z. Hol-
der, labor member of the federal
board for vocational education, at a
recent meeting of the educational
congress at Harrisburg. Pa, speaking
on the relation of education to indus
try.
Anything that harbors and en-
courages discomfort is good" said Mr..
Holder. "and when there is little dis
content, and nature turns things over,
it is sign that it is to be followed
by a period of progress and growth.
Il deny and challenge the loose
charges now too glibly made that the
American working people are idlers
and slackers," declared Mr.. Holder.
To substantiate this challenge he
produced figures from the official re-
ports which showed that in 1913, the
wear prior to the war, although in this
nation there were only one-fifth OF
the worlds population, it produced
22 per cent of the worlds wheat, 30
per cent of the worlds oats. GO per
cent of the cotton, and so per cent OF
the corn.
The United States also produced 25
per cent Of the worlds horses, ~
per cent of the cattle, and 40 per cent
of the swine, as we'll as rs per cent
of all the dairy products. In miner
ais our per cent of the worlds pop
ulation produced so per cent OF the
pig iron, Sc per cent of the "copper"
and so per cent of the petroleum.
Our manufactured products OF the
worlds production were % per cent
of woolens, rs per cent OF linens, 70

MINE RS ACCEPTED
PEACE OFFER To
AVERT DISASTER
To Have Assumed Defiant At
titude Would Have Meant
Defeat For Union, Says Sec
rotary William Green.


Columbus, O., Jan. 6.-Defending
the action of himself and Acting Pres
ident John l.. Lewis, in agreeing to ac-
cept President Wilson's proposal for
settlement of the soft coal miners
strike, William Green, international
secretary of the United Mine Workers,
today declared the only other alter
native was disaster and defeat for
the miners organization"
I'VE could have whipped the Goa
operators but we could not if we had
wanted to- WHIP the strongest gov
eminent on earth-our government,
which had just finished whipping Ger
macy.
IF we had not accepted President
Wilson'S proposal of settlement, me
powers of the federal government
would have been turned loose on us
with ereGte- ferocity than anything
we have ever seem" Green continued.
I'VE knew we had reached the limit"
he asserted as the delegates, with loud
applause and cheering, voiced APP
proval # what he said,
with every mining community : !
the country honeycombed with federal
agents, gathering evidence against
our men, orr funds tied up AMI wOm-
en- anil ci;IiGreu freezing al1 facing
starvation how, n the mans of God,
could we go on with the strike"
Green continued.
Green's speech followed an attempt
on the part of some of the delegates,
led by Robert II. Harlan, president Of
the Washington miners to defeat the
purpose of the motion by Philip IL.
Murray of Pennsylvania, to approve
the action of the officers, requiring
the award which is to be made BY tht
presidents commission to be submit
ted TO referendum vote, or recon
vened convention of the United N ae
Workers.
Secretary Green and Acting Presi-
dent Lewis warned the delegates that
to do otherwise than accept the pro-
posal would not be keeping faith with
the presidents proposal and that the
commission might not make any award
if the miners should decide to reserve
the right to a referendum on the com :
missions findings.
Lewis ruled Harlans amendment
out of order.
Both Lewis and Green stated that
acceptance of the presidents proposal
meant that the miners agreed to abide
Wy the decision of the presidents
commission. Lewis declared the pub
lie and the commission are entitled to
know whether the operators and the
miners will abide by its decision.
If they do not agree to abide by
the decision, the nthere can be 10 ar
bitration," Lewis said. The president $
proposal, Lewis said. was predicted
upon his belief that it would lie ac-
copied by both parties.
Lewis will address the convention
tomorrow and then the convention will
vote on the motion 10 affirm The ac-
ton of the officers.

ment and the speech Of -l-eorat ny

ton and developed the real purpose
