MINERS SHOULD HAVE
FAIR WAGE and WORK
TAYLOR SAYS in talk
(By Associated Press>

CHICAGO, Oct. 20.--A high scale
wage on paper with no work will not
help the miner. but a fair wage scale
with regular work will build his yearly

Harry n. Taylor, of Kansas City, told
delegates to the American Mining con-
gress here today He said the unions
had an opportunity to play a leading
part in the national readjustment and
urged that they take advantage of it
But the miners organization must
be purged,'' he said, "of the radical and
revolutionary leadership that has
sprung up in many districts before it
can hope to regain its standing in
public esteem
Support of his bill now pending in
the senate for creation of a new exc.
cutive department of the national gov.
ernment to be known as the depart
ment of mines and presided over by a
member of the cabinet, the secretary
of mines was urged today by United
States Senator Samuel D. Nicholson
of Colorado.
Merits Representation
Because of the rapid growth in the
mining industry and the position OF

will continue to assume for the nation
as a whole there should be no ques
ton but that it is entitled to cabinet
representation, Senator Nicholson
said.

NEW YORK, Oct. 2O.-Proceeding
as if they expected failure of the rail
road labor board in its efforts to pre-
vent the threatened railroad strike
by conference in Chicago today with
big five" brotherhood chiefs, mem
bers of the eastern presidents confer
ence met here today to lay plans for
meeting the strike on eastern and
New England roads.
Although they professed to see some
hope of peace through the labor
boards efforts, the railroad heads de-
clared that with strike orders already
issued they could not afford to delay
their plans to see what the Chicago
conference would bring forth.
Meetings of the general managers
association and the association of rail
way executives also were scheduled
Advertisements calling for men to
take the places of possible strikers
have been prepared by all the rail
roads centering here, and these, il
was reported, would be given to news
papers during the day
Several of the railroads have sent
out circular letters to their employees
urging the men to think carefully be
fore they join the proposed strike and
not 'be misled in this matter" One
of these letters after reciting advant
ages of employment on that line in
quired:
Are you going to give up all this
your record and your seniority, at the
behest of men who are going to be
unable to find you another job to take
the place of the one you now have
Remember they can order you out
but can they order you back?"

ment that the strike was not against
the railroads but against the govern

! board.

Lloyd George Settles
Controversy of Disciples
And Baptists Ouer Faith
(Bv Associated Press)

SPRINGFIELD, ILL, Oct. 20-Con-
troversy over the religious affiliation
of David Lloyd George, who has been
claimed here by both Disciples of
Christ and Baptists, was settled today
by Lloyd George himself, after the
manner of a Solomon, choosing nei-
ther the one or the other, but claiming
them both.
In a letter responding to query, the
sagacious Welchman wrote that he
is a member of the Disciples of Christ,
but attended Baptist church. The con-
troversy started several months when
Springfield Baptists demurred at what
they called presumption on the con-
gress of the Disciples of Christ, in
claiming Lloyd George as member of
that denomination.
At the disciples convention the lives
of Lloyd George, former president
Garfield and Champ Clark, were dis
cussed from a religious standpoint. as
three outstanding figures of the faith.

that date.
