MADE TOMBSTONE OF ROCK
Probably New Yorker VIII Investigate
Before He carves His Name on
Another Boulder.

II was quite a while before a promi-
nent lawyer In New York related 70
his friends a personal experience
which he had n summer when, being
somewhat run down In health. he went
into the Ad%irondacks to rest.
One day, as he was wandering AIM
lessly through the woods, he came up
on a huge boulder not far from the
railroad that runs along the shore or
a lake. Listlessly he began to carve
his name on the rock, but gradually
warmed to the task and chiseled zeal
ously away until he had wrought both
name and date with various embellish-
Ing hourishes.
As he was proudly surveying tho
result of his labor. an elderly back
woodsman appeared on the scene. Aft
er the customary greeting. he deg
terously shifted his pack to the ground
then with a somewhat quizzical air
surveyed the lawyers work.
quite a bit of art you've got
there" he observed gravely.
The lawyer accepted this tribute
complacently.
"Kind of curious how things come
about" he went on. "Now, the first
time a train was run into these here
woods It come In contact with a tramp,
long about here; and that there boul-
der marks the spot where we buried
him. Now. here he is provided with a
first-class tombstone and an inscrip-
.tion that anybody might be proud OF
Kinder curious, amt it?"

Decreases Of 10 to 20 Per Cent.
for Civilian Employees Ap-
proved by Sec'y DENLY.

WASHINGTON. Sept. THE new
navy wage scale. decreasing by 10 to
20 per cent. the pay OF about 6s.000
civilian employees, was approved by
Secretary DENLY to-day.
In general the new scale. which be-
GENES effective September Is. Is made
uniform for similar work In all navy
yards. According to the report of the
departmental wage board OF review.
the revised schedules will be 4 cents an
hour less than prevailing wages for
railroad trades and 8 cents an hour
higher than those In skip building
trades. The board said the wages
recommended are 45 per cent. higher
than pre-war scales. and estimates the
cost of living at 80 per cent higher
than in 1913.
The decreases broadly are IS to IA
per cent for artisans. 10 per cent for
technical employees, 15 per cent. for
clerks and supervisors and 90 per cent.
for certain other OF the supervisory
positions.
A new plan for payment and classlh-
cation of mechanics provides for one
general grade of the first class, specify
ing that upon employment men shall
serve a probation period of six months
prior to reaching the highest pay classi-
fcaton OF their trade.
The board also recommended that
"73 cents an hour be fixed as a fair and
just rate OF pay for the basic trades"
and that the present five day week be
temporarily continued until the present
general employment is relieved"

miners.

rested and tried" he said, "and l have

GERS in Logan and Afingo counties will
not do the right thing, but I am not SO

are so strong.
II do not blame all Of the individuals
who took part In this rebellion. A great
i,iany of them thought they wero mercy
ghting for their constitutional right.
That is what their leaders told then.
THE leaders, of course, claim thar
they did not order the armed march
against the non-union coal fields. On the
contrary they claim to have advised
against 1t. The facts are thar while the
union leaders did not openly advocate
the movement they countenanced It. For
instance. we have information that after
Mother Jones had gone down 20 the
miners camp at my request and urged
the men to go back home Frank Meenay,
president OF District II, United Mine
Workers OF America, and Fred Mooney,
secretary of the same organization, went
down there In automobiles. They did
not make any speeches. but they sat
silently in their seats and listened to a
speech made by radical miner. .vho

"Trat Is the sort OF oratory that In

sion and knew what was happening
They did not offer any objection so far
as have been able to see. Later they
tried to give the impression that the
miners had got beyond the control OF
their leaders. YOU can judge for your
self what was really going on

out again soonY' the Governor was
asked.

replied. II only hope we will be able

heard that some OF the miners have
gone home with a different view Of
things, but I am afraid most Of them
went home sore and are only waiting
for another chance to renew the con-
flict after the Federal troops are with
drawn.
'.They have not given up all their
arms. Gen. Bandholtz told me this
morning that all who had gone out of
the trouble zone were unarmed, but that
only few hundred arms had been sur
rendered to the troops. We know, Of
course. that thousands OF rifles and re.
volvers and large quantities Of ammu-
milton have been left behind in the
mountains In the custody OF the union

Gen. Bandholtx, In command OF the
Federal troops, said to-day that he had
ordered the Twenty-sixth Infantry to
return to Camp Dix. The chemical war
fare unit and remaining army airplanes
have also been ordered away. Only the

II was also agreed that all trade

$4,000 FORCE WILL
SEEK JOBS FOR IDLE
Estimate Board Creates Indus
trial Aid Bureau With
$4,000 Chief.

The Tammany Board of Estimate
created yesterday a municipal Industrial
Aid Bureau for tile reduction or unem-
pioyment. and proceeded Immediately by
creating thirty-two jobs In the new
bureau and voting an initial appropria-
tion Of $4,000 TO pay ror them.
The new jobs are One director. $4,000 :
one assistant director $4,000; three
supervisors. $4,000 each; ten registrars.
$500 each; five field agents. $1,000
each; four file clerks. $1,000 each six
stenographers $1,000 each, and two
telephone operators. $1,000 each.
The following were named as COM
mlsstoners of the bureau to serve With
missioner OF Public Welfare; Major
William r. Deegan. vice chairman OF the
American Legion. and John Sullivan,
vice-chairrnan of the New York State
Federation of Labor. An advisory COM
nlittee also is to be named to serve
without pay.
Commissioner Coier issued a state
nent In which he said the bureau will
be In operation as soon as quarters can
be obtained. which, he expected. will be
within the next three or four days.
He outlined the steps to be taken by
the bureau as follows:
''To create a need for workers. men
and women.
ITO ascertain where this need exists
and Systematically list all calls for
workmen.
ITO make the worthy jobless ac-
quairted with the functions of the bu-
reau.
ITO introduce the man to the job and
the job to the man.
ITO provide at least one days work

plan to call upon the authorities in
Washington to take immediate stops to

cally impossible IL lived up to by the
parties involved
In addition TO the building wage cut
the elimination OF make work" rules
LIS expected to mean to the builder a
cut OF approximately 20 per cent. in
costs OF construction. The ruling of
Judge Lands on that phase of the
agreement Is as follows:
ut Is expressly agreed and stipulated
that there shall be no restriction as to
the amount OF work a man may do nor
against the use OF machinery methods
Of appliances, nor against any raw or
manufactured material except prison
made. Employers may employ or dis
charge whomsoever OF the union they
please and employees may work for
whomsoever they see At and the fore
man, II any, Is TO be exclusively the
agent Of the employer"
The first step TO q settlement that
broke all precedents in tho industry
was the demand of the arbiter that a
uniform agreement be made between
all labor organizations and the two
organisations of contractors. This was
finally done after much wrangling and
delays. Previous to this time each
union made It's own agreement inde-
pendentiy OF any other organization.
The decision to-day is expected to
herald a new dawn in the building
industry with great boom In build
ing as an immediate result. Architects
have asserted that no less than $3o,-
100000 worth OF work would start at
once. with mora to follow In the spring.

pioyers were here from Cleveland. 81.

Esecsci Despatch to THE NEW YoaK HEaArp
CHARLESTON, w. Va. Sept. Gov.
Ephraim II. Morgan OF West Virginia
to-day told THE NEW YORK HERALD
that he felt deeply Inundated by the
insurrection OF 5000 coal miners In this
State and the Inability OF the State gov
ernment to cope with 1t, which neces-
Stated the sending OF 1900 Federal

leaders of the miners and organization
OF an adequate National Guard are the
remedies he proposes.
"It is disgraceful." said Gov. Nor
gan, as he sat in a little office in a tenn
porary wooden building opposite the
ruins OF the old State Capitol, recently
destroyed by fire. II hope 1t will never
be necessary again for West Virginia
to call upon the President OF the United
States to preserve order within her
borders.
when this last trouble started we
were without national guard. We
had about zoo State constabulary. but
most OF them were down In Mingo
county enforcing martial law with the
help OF a two months company OF
county militia which had called out.
"At the last session Of the Legisla-
for the creation OF a national guard
Of about 1000 officers and men. This
law was strongly opposed. as was
the constabulary act. by the union
labor element in the State. 1t was
provided that 1t should not go
into effect until July OF this year.
Only $4,000 a year was appropriated
for quarters and other expenses over
and abovo the equipment to be fur
rished by the War Department.
II proceeded to organize the national
guard. but on August Is, when the coal
miners gathered in the vicinity OF Cabin
Creek and prepared for their march on
the non-union coal fields OF Logan and
Mingo counties, we had got no further
than the appointment of an adjutant
general. John Fl. Charnock.
II believed then and I believe now
that IL we had been able to send sew
oral hundred guardsmen or the entire
zoo members OF the constabulary force
to Cabin Creek we could have pre-
vented the augmentation Of the miners
army and stopped the hostile march.
But was poweriess under the cir
cun1stances.
I'VE have since recruited the first
company under the national guard act
and It is now in Mingo county, where
1t relieved the county militiamen, whose
terms had expired.
within few months I believe we
will have an adequate national guard
organization to meet any further diff
cuities that may arise"
