No SALARIES !.
FOR OFFICERS
OF COAL MINERS
Men Decide to Refuse Pay
Because Of Unernploy-
III ment Conditions.

indianapolis, Ind. July ls.INo
salaries will be accepted by more than
100 officers of the United Mine work
ers Of America for their work this
month because OF the widespread
unemployment among coal miners
said today.s issue of the Mine work
ers, Journal, official publication OF the
International union.
All officials. including the head Of
ncers. members of the International
board. organizers and field
workers, according to the. announce-
ment. have volunteered to contrihute
their entire salaries for July to the
organization in order that they may
mare the. burden of hardship with
the membership of the union.p
The exact amount thus contributed
was not announced. it being said that
some of the officials work part time
on a PEE, diem basis. The total, how
ever, was expected to come to several
thousand dollars. John L. Lewis, as
president of the union. receives
s666.e6 q month, and Philip Murray
vice president and William Green,
secretary, each receive $5S3.33.
The salaries, it was explained at
the unions headquarters, will remain
In the general fund of the organiza-
ton, which it was said has received
many calls for relief, but maintains
only one fund for all expenditures OF
the union.
1T has long been the cry 81 some
people" said the Mine workers
journal today, that regardless OF
whether the membership worked or
the salaries of the officers went
on as usual. Such talk is INDUCED II,
solely for the purpose Of creating dis
trust of the officers in the minds Of
h membership. Their voluntary ac-
ton, however, In contributing their
entire salary for July should go far
to diss1pate such impressions and
prove that the officials feel. a deep,
sincere interest in the well being Of
the rank and file of the membership"
Union headquarters estimated that
not less than $50. 900 union miners. in
the country are out Of work and that
many thousands more work one to
three days a week. Hundreds of
mines, throughout the country, are
closed and others are working short

LITTLE BELGIUM'S
BIG EXAMPLE

Little Belgium, a mere speck on
the western coast of Europe, looms
up big in these lean months OF de-
preston and slack production as a
national example OF industry, cour-
age n will to work, to save and to
invest. :
1t is; on the score OF saving and
investing, not only at home, but in
every part of the globe. that America
can find in Belgium a timely example
worth emulating. We have marveIled
at the speed of Belgian recovery. It
have been a strange recon
struction period indeed, stranger
than any that had gone before, II it
not produced just such model
Of industry and thrift as Belgium
for the rest of the world t. study.
But Belgium's recovery has not
been accidental. 1t has not been due
to p~royidential forces, untried scheme
OF invention. nor vet to innovations
thought out by new found genius.
It has been due to Belgium's unre-
served acceptance OF the elemental
truth that no nation can be rebuilt
except by toll. by the putting to-
gether of labor and raw materials.
and by tilling the soil. In the United
States, where both labor and raw
materials are plentiful, wealth can be

by the scale of organization. But in
Belgium there is the problem of go
ing into far off lands to purchase raw,
materials and of finding ready money
to pay for them. How has Belgium
accomplished this
Acting Commercial Attache Cross
tells the story in a report to the De-
partment of Commerce at Washington.
He describes at length Belgium's for
eiEn investments, amounting to SOL
100000 francs capital. Money this
dustrial shares in Argentina, Brazil,
Egypt, Canada. Mexico, China, Africa
and America. Money invested with
such skill that when the whitening
blast OF depreciation hit Belgium cur
rency n sent it tumbling to a quar-
ter of its par value the foreign hold
ings of thrifty Belgian ave stood up
like a rock. These holdings formed a
sbulwark on which to begin Belgian
reconstruction, a. bulwark as stanch as
IT the investments had consisted of re-
served gold francs locked safely away
in the Government vaults.
In more ways than one these for
eign investments gave Belgium some
thing to build upon. Attache Gross
says that ITO every young or unde-
veloped country Of which the rich
natural resources were judged capa-
BILE Of ultimately returning the mi
tial investment with a profit Belgian
surplus capital has been sent to pro-
mote real estate improvements, agri-
cultural operations and building con-
struction. or simply to participate in
local enterprise" And he adds:
The zeal OF Belgian capitalists in
opening such fields has its origin in

Republicans and Democrats
Differ Greatly as to Sims
Daniels Incident. sS

4washington, July 1s.-A diametric
coflfiict Of views between Republicans
q Democrats as to the justification
for Rear Admiral William S. Sims
charges OF misdirection and delay on
sthespart of the American naval adj
ministration during the early months
az h war was shown in majority and
minority reports, published today, OF
the senate naval committees investi-
cation of the controversy between Adj
sIniral Sims and former Secretary
Daniels. 5Assailed by the majority for
having pursued what it declared was
ssself-defensive, non-aggressive and
non-helpful policy" during the early
stages Of the war, the naval admins
upheld in the minority report as
amply vindicated by the uniform
success Of our operations" and as de-
serving the hearty commendation Of
this committee and of the American
people"
The Closing Chapter.
With the lapse Of more than a year
since the conclusion Of the naval sub
committees inquiry, the publication
OF the reports constitutes the closing
chapter in the notorious Sims-Daniels
controversy ofeMay. 1920, precipitated
by Rear Admiral Sims letter sharply
scrittcising the Daniels war admins
3tration. The letter, which charged
numerous delays and lax methods in
h navy department. was brought to
light during q. committee inquiry into
Admiral Sims controversy with the
former secretary over naval awards Of
distinguished service decorations.
Charging many sins OF omission and
commission, both in the matter of pre-
paredness and in naval prosecution OF
the war, the majority report severely
scored Mr.. Daniels, former President
Wilson and Rear Admiral William
Benson, former chief of operations
as the responsible administrative Of
fcers. These officials were warmly
defended in the minority report in
line with it's opposite view in the con-
troversy. Admiral Sims, the COM
mander-in-chief of naval operations
overseas during the a was COM
mended by the majority and assailed
by the minority.
Opposed to the majority charges
that many serious delays in naval
operations resulted from the mon
aggressive policy" pursued prior to
1919, was the declaration Of the mi
nority that at no time did the navy
fail to perform promptly and efici-
emily YER task that vas imposed
upon it"

STEAMER CAPE COD WAS
 DELAYED AT BRIDGE

The Thames River line steamer Cape Cod was late in reaching her dock here Tuesday morning on the regular trip from New York as the boat was held up for two hours at the Thames river high way bridge. A clogged suction pipe at the bridge crippled the mechanism that operates the draw.
 The boat reached the bridge about 5 o'clock, but when it Nhistled for the bridge to clear the New Haven road draw opened but the highway bridge did not respond to the control of its operator For nearly two hours worknen worked to clean the suction pipe which is of vital importance to the operation of ar electric and hydraulic system. Automo piles and traffic of all sorts gathered al both sides of the bridge waiting for il to clear. Many gave up in disgust ana drove to the ferry landings on both sides of the river to await the frs, ferry across. It was nearly ocldrl before the draw could be operated ahC the vessel could proceed.
