LABOR'S FEARS QUIETED.
G. B. Harley of P. r. r. Issues
Statement Here.

Issuance Of the first local public state
men, by g. Il. Harley. local representa-
tive of the Pennsylvania railway system,
here today. outlining the wage rcduc-
ton policy quieted fears of representa-
ttyes of the international railroad
unions that the Railway Labor Board
would not be considered in the making
OF reductions in wages by the railroads
The very last paragraph of the order
is the one which IL is said was skinned
over in preliminary reports and also
the one which is regarded by labor
leaders as the most vital Of the entire
proposition
II reads: "All procedure in effecting
such readjus'mcnt of salaries and
wages shall be taken in an orderly
manner and in strict accord with the
transportation act.
This means that the Pennsylvania
will not follow the lead Of the At
Ianta. Birmingham and Atlantic in not
consulting the Railway Labor Board
before ordering "A reduction.
Whether the reductions scheduled
for the railway workers by the com
pany will go through" officials Of
Ia Dor unions declare. in view of the
final paragraph OF the order, will now
be problematiCai. since the Railway
Labor Board will be called upon to
offset its former wage allowances TO
employees of the roads.
Action Is Deferred.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, March IL

Additions to Earth's WEIGHT.

In the early days of it's history the
earth grew rapidly by the addition
Of meteoric matter. 1t is still growing
in the same manner, though scarcely
to an appreciable extent, for the mass
of meteOric matter added yearly is
reckoned to be only 10000 tons. IN
the course of ages the larger planets
have swept up practically all the frag-
ments of the original disruption, and
the only available source of supply of
meteOric matter seems to be that
brought by comets.

SAYS NATION FACES
EDUCATIONAL CRISIS


Williamsburg. Va, Oct. 19.--Declar-
ing the nation confronts an "educa-
tional crisis" through lack Of teachers
and public school facilities, President
Harding appealed in an address here
today for patriotic support Of an edu-
G.; ,.onal system commensurate with
national resources.
Il wish 1t were possible" said the
President, TO drive home TO the whole
American people the conviction of
ne, led concern for our educational
nee essities. We must have more and
better teachers, and to get them the
profession must be compensated as it
deserves"
Mr.. Harding spoke before a gather
ing of students and alumni of the
college of William and Mary as part
of ceremony which inuucted Doctor
J. A. c. Chandler into the presidency
of the institution. An honorary de-
gree was conferred on the chief
executive, who came here with a
distinguished group of prominent
officials after delivering an address
during the morning at Yorktown.
Educational Facilities 0yertaxed.
1T is no exaggeration." said Presi-
dent Harding, TO say the nation con
fronts an educational crisis. From
every corner of the land, from country
town and city, comes the same report
that the housing capacity for our
public schools is Inadequate; that
tens of thousands OF pupils have no
place for their studies; that teachers
cannot be listed in sufficient numbers
and that school revenues are insult
cient
1T may be said that. in this realm
Of education, we have been drawing
on our capital, instead of spending
the annual increment only: we have
been taking the teachers away from
the schools. and leaving constantly
increasing deficit in our capacity to
turn out that product Of disciplined
minds which only can be insured
through ever expanding facilities.
Glad OF Eagerness For Education.
Let me hasten to add that this is
not condition which leads us to
pessimism or misgivings. l would not
wish 1t to be otherwise. No people
ever approached the lavishness with
which, from public revenue and pri-
vate purse. Americans have given to
support education, yet, the more
generously we provide today, the
greater is the deficiency tomorrow;
and / am glad 1t is thus. So long as
the eagerness for education outruns
our most generous provision of faciH-
ties, there will be assurance that we
are going ahead. not backward.
