the workers own flock of chickens, for fresh milk and cream and butter from COWS owned by the workers, for fresh air, open country and independent liv- ing, which are afforded without cost to the workers in many sections of the an- thracite regionP He did not suggest, however, that the operators might be content with a smaller margin of profit because of their incomes from outside investments.
 "The commission gave the miners a wage increase that increased the cost of a ton of anthracite coal approxl- mate1y 50 cents. Before the commis- sion began its hearings, however, the operators had advanced the price of coal $1 per ton in anticipation of any possi- ble wage increase, and during the arbl- tration and subsequent to 1t the price was still further advanced until today in Philadelphia the public is paying a price for anthracite that Is at least $325 Ill excess of fair price.
 None of the Public's Business.
 And yet the operators tell you that 1t is not a matter of public interest which controls the anthracite industry. or what its profits, direct or indirect, amount to! They explain the abnor- ma1ly high price of coal by placing the responsibility on a few independent operators Those few independent op orators must be handling all the coal produced by the industry for the public is paying top prices for all the coal that IS sold.
 "This is a representative example as to how the failure to secure living wage Is productive of discontent, re- duced output, and of serious loss to the public through recurrent dislocations in the industry.
 "I would suggest that the important thing at this critical stage i'll the affairs of this nation and of the world is that we proceed in orderly fashion to estab- fish guarantees by which the worker will be protected in those rights which have been enumerated as elementary, and by which the public interest will be safeguarded against an autocracy of capital or an autocracy of labor. The first step in this direction, 1 believe, should be the establishment of an in dustria1 code defining the fundamental principles to govern all relations in in dustry on the basis of fair dealing. to labor, fair dealing to capital and fair

FIREMEN SEARCHING
 RUITS FOR VICTIMS
Believed That Score or More Are Buried in
 Ruins.

New York, Dec. 3.-The Strathmore, a nine-story brick apartment house at Broadway and Fifty-second street, which was being converted into an office building, collapsed from unknown cause just after 4:30 o'clock Wednes- day afternoon. A score of persons were injured, one of them seriously a number of others had astonishing escape and from one to six 1ife1ess bodies are believed to be buried i'll the tons of debris which filled the building from the basement to the third story and crashed into Fifty-second street crushing the wooden structure, design ed to protect pedestrians, as though 1t had been of paper.
 It probably will be several days be- fore wreckers have penetrated far enough into the tangled mass of bricks, plaster, wooden beams and iron gird- CTS to recover the bodies which it is feared lie under the ruins Meantime only one workman definitely has been reported missing but the unclaimed overcoats of four others hang in the lockers i'll the basement mute sugges- tions that their owners did not escape.
 Whether any one lies buried under the tons of wreckage spraw1ing half way across Fifty-second street and dozen feet deep Is equally uncertain. Several persons that were passing are known to have escaped, but officials re- garded 1t as virtual certainty that if any one was immediately in front of the part of the building which fell first, that person was killed.
 The condition of the structure was so dangerous after the collapse that fire department officers refused to a1- low their men Ill 1t, arguing that 1t was not fair to send live men to a1- most certain death when any trapped within were surely lost.
 Bremen who first arrived made ex- citing and dangerous rescues from the store of the Sidney Bowman Automo- bile company on the ground floor cor ner of the building, where several per- sons were pinned under the wreckage, but 1t was not possible for them to stay inside the building when more walls, floors and ceiling were threatening to crash down any moment.
 Later, while thousands watched from behind the police lines block away i'll each direction, wreckers under the supervision of the building department swarmed like monkeys along the shak- ing south wall, about half of which olhh .Vdo dld puSIlOd IL llllO the street with roar and c1atter and a shower of dust. Awed watchers thought surely the daring pigmies atop the building were buried in the avalanche they hads created, but hardly had the dust clouds died away when they came sauntering out to erceive the cheers of the crowd.
 This work of further wrecking was deemed unnecessarily before the work of combing through the debris for the bodies believed to lie under 1t could be begun. A hundred men were put on that task late at night, as soon as the wrcckers had dislodged everything that theratened to come down.
 It was estimated that the street could be cleared within 24 hours. It will be much longer before workmen can pene- trate through the mass choking such of the shell as still stands.

WILLIE HoPPE CHALLENGES
 HoREMANS, BELGIAN CHAMP

In view of the fact that reports have been circulated to the effect that Willie Hoppe, worlds professional billiard champion, is unwilling to play Edouard Horemans, the famous Belgian and champion of Europe, i'll match for the title until after Hoppe completes the extensive exhibition tour of the country he has arranged beginning about the first of the year, R. B. Ben jamin, Hopes business representative, has decided to deviate from the usual custom of waiting for the contender to issue a challenge and has formally challenged Horemans in behalf of Hoppe to play titular match any time after the final round of the national championship tournament at the Hotel Astor, New York city, on December 6. 7 and 8, and before the first of Janu- ary. To show his good faith MT. Ben janin has deposited forfeit of $l,O0O with the Brunswick-Balke-Collender Company to guarantee the appearance of the champion.
 "I am willing to back Hoppe for any amount from 5000 to $1O,000 for such a match" said MT. Benjamin. T have requested the representatives of MT. Horemans to meet me and close nego- tiations for such match. l can see no good reason why the match should not be played before the end of December. We do not wish to embarrass MT. Horemans in any way. We are per fectly willing that he should have every opportunity to become accustomed to playing conditions in the country, with which he says he is not familiar, and to become acclimated, but I think that everyone will agree with me that MT. Horemans will have had ample time in which to thoroughly prepare for such a meeting by the end of December. He will have at least five weeks of prac- tice and that should be plenty.
 "Hoppe is willing to take the chance of playing Horemans before the time for the start of the tour. Should Hoppe be beaten, his drawing power, naturally, would be serioulsy affected. Why shouldn't Horemans take the same chance? We understand that he has come to this country for the express purpose of playing Hoppe for the championship. Certainly he cannot within reason ask for more than five weeks in which to prepare for the match.
 "We are ready to close the match now. We have no conditions to insist upon except that the match be staged under the recognized championship conditions that obtain in this country. I think this is an eminently fair pro position.

An awfully trying job, this attempt to make humans virtuous by law. They did 1t better in the days of old Puri- tans. They then put men in stocks for looking crosswise at the women folks and for the awful crime of kissing their wives on Sunday, but rum and ale flow ed freely.

 The Eastern Marine Workers Asso- citation, affiliated with the A. F. of L., has removed its office from Bridge street, New Haven, to 262 Franklin street, Brooklyn, N. Y. The quarters here I am told, are still retained the idea being to return at the opening of summer. Something of battle is i'll prospect for the marine workers, I un- derstand. Owners of Long Island Sound steamboats, tugs and vessels generally propose, it Is said, to reduce wages and lengthen the hours of labor per week on January first. Union men, after a prolonged and strenuous fight, succeeded last spring in bringing the working hours per week down from 70 to 60. Any attempt at reduction of this scale. 1t IS said, will be met with bitter opposition.

NEW CENTRAL UNION

Samuel Gompers Presided and Urged Right and Justice
 to All.

New York, Dec. 3.-Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, presiding last night at a meeting of the newly organized Cen tral Trades and Labor Council of Greater New York and vicinity, told the 900 delegates present he expected 1t to become ''the most practical, construc- tive and just labor organization in the world" He urged his audience at all times "to give free manifestation of the spirit that will mean 1abor's continued advance, right and justice all the while."
 The gathering was called to se1ect officers for the new body, which has absorbed the Central Federated Union of Manhattan, the Central Labor Union of Brooklyn, and other labor organiza- tions i'll the city and its suburbs. Its membership is said to exceed 75,000 workers affiliated with the American Federation of Labor.

The coming week the Hyperion Play CTS will depart fronb the usual style ot play as presented by stock companies and will give local theatergoers real treat of an unusual order when they, will offer "The Love of Su Shong,
 a paly of Chinese lite character and TO- nance by Dewitt Newing, author of many popular successes including Dawn O the Mountains" The Love of Su Shong" tells the story of the love and adventure that befel young American on his first visit to China At the start he was merely a young tourist seeking a land thatswas different and faces that were new but fate or chance, the Orienta1s say kismet sent him walking on the Cha Poo road in the city of Shanghai and 1t was there it happened and the happening was the very prosaic stunt of stubbing his toe, Most men when they stub their toes either fall down or swear; it was so with Richard Tabor, however, for he stumbled into the arms of as dainty and pretty little Chinese girl as ever stood ready to receive the love of big handsome foreign devil from across the wide sea. As between Su Shong and Dick Tabor it was case of love at first sight but what love story could prove itself interesting where all was smooth sailing for the lovers, and Su Shong was so young and pretty there fore many sailors had looked with fav- or on the daughter of Tai Ling Chow and had sought to buy Su Shong from her father.

INDUSTRIAL WARFARE
Continued from Page 1.)

Those familiar with the proceedings will recall that one operator testified that he knew $3.34 per day to be liv- ing wage because he knew miners who lived and supported their families on that amount He admitted that the wives and children helped. Another operator declared that the budgets of living requirements presented on behalf of the miners were not fair because they did not take into consideration opportunities for growing foodstuffs in gardens, for securing fresh eggs from

dealing to the public.
 President Wilson's first industrial conference in October, 1919, which was to have accomplished some such pur- pose as this, failed because the employ er's group would not accept a definition of collective bargaining submitted by teh labor group and approved by the public group. The Presidents second conference adapted a program for the. adjustment of industrial controversies and recommended the es. ablishment of an elaborate series of boards or adjust ment agencies, but 1t failed to recom- mend the principles or basis of adjust ment which should utlderiic the delib- erations of these boards, although such principles were discussed in the report The senate committee on labor now has before it a proposal submitted by Sem ator Kenyon, of Iowa, which contem- plates both the establishment of the code and the creation of machinery ade- quate to apply 1t.
 Public Must Awake.
 Real progress in this direction de- bends essentially upon an aroused and militant public opinion that demands and will have industrial peace, for con- structive action by the Congress IS eSSenl1dl.
 Increased production of our farms, our mines and our mills is absolutely essential if the nation is to recover from the disastrous effects of the world war, discharge its international obliga tions and realize its world wide oppor- tunities. Increased production is inn possible-unthinkab we have reasonably satisfied and contented workers i'll every field of industry. This means the prevention of strikes and dis locations and the maintenance of indus trial peace. It is the judgment of statesmen, of economists and of intelli gent leadership of both capital and la bor that there can be no permanent industrial peace until there has been de- fined and promulgated by 1 egislative action, Magma Charta of industry or a bill of industrial rights which can be used on a basis of procedure, and which would be mandatory upon the delibera- tions and arbitration of wage adjust ment boards.

At the close of the war 1t was thought that the way was open for such action through voluntary agreement be- tween capital and labor. Our own ex- perience during the war in the applica- ton of the principles of code which avs at the basis of the work of the Ma tiona1 War Labor Board, had led to the belief that such a constructive program could be adopted as the basis of the production of which the world was in so grievous need after the cessation of hostilities. Moreover the enlightened opinions of the leading industrial and commercial nations of the world had given its sanction to these same prin- ciples in the labor provisions of the Treaty of Peace, and they had received further sanction from the reconstruc- ton pronouncement of churches, both Catholic and Protestant, without regard to denomination
 Conflict Replaces Cooperation.
 But the golden opportunity was lost. The spirit of cooperation between cap ita1 and labor gradually disappeared. It was replaced by open conflict The lines are now being drawn for industrial warfares on an unprecedented scale.
 Public opinion can alone save the situation. The public always has been and will continue to be the sufferer from industrial conflicts. It should act, therefore, in its own interest by the establishment of wage adjustment agencies, and the formulation of an in dustrial code or series of principles which would be mandatory upon the de liberation of such agencies, and those principles, or code, should guarantee and safeguard both labor and capital in their fundamental rights as factors of production.
 This program, believe, would pro- tect industry from the arbitrary con- troi of either capital or labor, and make possible larger measure of industrial democracy At the same time it would also advance the we'll being of the gen. eral public, for the reason that 1t would, by stimulating the cooperative effort of capital and labor, increase the pro- ductive efficiency of industry as whole"

Wild and absurd statements are be- ing made by the avowed enemies of organized labor in general and the American Federation of Labor in par ticular. Their arguments, however, hardly require answering. Still, in order that labor unionists may note the trend of the battle, 1t seems timely to make few critical reflections in connection herewith.
