Golf Eevels Every Age

An enthusiastic Davenport golfer
made the remark the other day that
golf is fast becoming national
sport" The statement is almost in
the nature of a solecism. Golf is
already" a national sport.
The impetus given the sport by the
links started by the city at Credit
Island is merely a reflection of the
growing interest manifested in the
game over the entire country. 1t is
true that at one time, the links were
patronized largely by gentlemen
somewhat past middle age, with
slight inclination towards obesity anc
with no inclination for exercise that
might impose the waste of too much
physical energy. Gentlemen OF
wealth, leisure, and Of somewhat in
dolent incIinations were supposed to
be the principle patrons Of the game.
1t was in short a game indulged eX-
clu-ively by those upon whom SOC
ity made tiresome demands.
Today the game occupies as popu-
lar a place as any out of door sport.
The sport is no longer bounded by
either sex or age. It has become as
popular as any open air sport in
which the American mind is inter
ested. In fact there is no man or wo-
man, old or young, who has not at
least a taxable knowledge about the
game.

EXPLAINED TO PRESIDENT
Matter Of Joint Conference Of Opera
tors and Miners Talked Over
Meeting, Says Lewis mo
Definite Plans.

Washington, d. C.-Administration
efforts to bring about a settlement
of the bitumineus coal strike have
met a preliminary check.
After conferences with President
Harding and Secretary Of Labor Da-
Wis, John L. Lewis. president Of the
United Mine Workers of America an
nounced that the union policy still
was unaltered and unyielding in it's
inisistence that a new wage scale
must be set up for the strike ridden
mining districts by national or semi
national conferences with operators.
The meeting between Mr.. Harding,
Secretary Davis and Mr.. Lewis, which
took place at the White House, was
the last of q series of conferences in
to which Secretary Of Labor Davis
took Mr.. Lewis.
Officially no statement was forth
coming, though Secretary Hoover al
so was called to the White House Inn
mediately after Mr.. Lewis left. APP
parently no spokesman for the mine
operators, whose refusal before last
April to meet. in the semi-national
wage scale negotiations of the CEN
trail competitive field was the con
troversial point in. the strike, were
in the capitol for discussion.
I'VE talked over the general prob
lens OF the bitulninous inquiry and
the strike" Mr.. Lewis declared on
leaving the White House, "its over
development and intermittency, and
projects for its sterilization.
with relation to the present strike
we considered the matter of joint
conference Of operators and miners
especially the merits of proposals 70
hold district joint conferences between
operators and miners for wage settle
ments, as compared with joint con
ference in the central competitive
field, or national conference Of all
fields, through representatives. Nc
definite plans affecting the strike
were decided upon. The strike sit
uation is unchanged.
II explained to the president the
futility Of attempting settlements in
individual mining districts. There
are no groups of operators willing to
hazard their competitive Relationship
with other producing sections by fix
ing a wage scale until they know
what their competitors are going to
pay. The country will be facing a
serious shortage of coal within few
weeks and II the strike continues the
railroads will be unable to transport
enough to take care OF industries and
domestic consumers"
