COAL MINERS LACK
 FAITH IN OFFER TO
 LET PRESIDENT ACT
Proposal That Harding Appoint Arbitrators Not Welcomed
 by Leaders.

Government agencies and mine owners have finally been made to realize the gravity of the fuel situa- ton.
 This is manifested by an offer Of anthracite interests to submit all is- sues in dispute to a commission to be named by President Harding The proposal was put up to officials of the Mine Workers Union following a cabinet meeting devoted to a survey of the outlook.
 It is said that the administration has beer looking about for some way of intervening, and 1t Is suggested that the plan initiated by the anthra- cite mine owners has a more or less direct connection with cabinet con vcrsatiOns.
 A statement made by the Geologi- cal Survey probably had something to do with government activities. It was to the effect that since April I there had been mined and distributed only, about half as much coal as the country had burned and that reserve stocks would not long stand such a drain.
 The Durport of this admission Is that government dependence upon non-uniOn production was misplaced, and that the inevitable situation which impartial students of the conflict have seen Impending has Drecipitatcd more rapidly than anybody connect ed with the government anticipated.
 Miners Are Skeptical.
 The miners are skeptical of the an thracite operators proposal. Officials who have talked for publication have declared that they would lack conf dence in any commission that Presi- dent Harding might appoint. They still remember what happened when thev put their case before a commits sion appointed by President Wilson and rot the worst of practically every decision.
 Meanwhile, the Senate has ordered an investigation, at the instance of Senator Walsh of Massachusetts, which is expected to determine the

Law Makers Overlook
 a Pet Bugaboo
Change in Federal Reserve Passed Because It Didn't Harm
 Interests.

Washington, June I6.-Congress has amended the federal reserve act by this change in reference to appoint ments on the federal reserve board:
 The president shall have due re- gard to a fair representation of the financial, agricultural, industrial and commercial interests.'
 Before this amendment, the law read:
 That he (the president) shall have due regard to the industrial and com mercial interests
 While the amendment was before the house it was repeatedly stated that the change could have no effect on the president.
 Congressman McFadden, chairman of the house banking and currency committee, stated that the amend ment had no value, but it's passage would do no harm, as he Understood the president intended to appoint a farmer on the board.
 Congressman Stevenson, another member of the banking committed, worth a cent" and that the president can appoint a farmer without the amendment.
 The bill was approved, however, by men who crack tnelr tn1OdlS III protest against 'unAmerican class legislation" when labor asks for rem edal laws or representation on gov crnmcntal boards These lawmakers now not only ignore former claims but vote for an act that they ack- nowledHc Is of no value, and whose only purpose is vote hunting among farmers.
 Congressman Meyer London taunt- cd the lawmakers who profess fear of "class legislation" when labor is involved. and who, by their votes, officially recognize financial, a~ricul- tural, ind..~yri"l and commercial in tcrC=tS.'
 "N'it}crt it ever having been in tcndcd,' sad the New York congress- man, this bill will help to do away with the fiction tlrat there are no group or class interests in society," He offered an amendment to include a representative cf labor as a member of the federal reserve board, and stated that "l expect unanimous vote in support Of my amendment
 It was defeated by more than a tWO-tO-CnC vote.

BASEBALL NOT COMMERCE.

Washington, June I6-In an inter esting decision on what constitutes interstate commerce, the United States supreme court has ruled that baseball does not come undcr this head. The decision was made in the suit for damages against organized baseball by the Baltimore ol1lb of the dcfunct Federal. or outlaw" league.
 The court said that playing baseball Is state affair, and while clubs travel from state to state. the transport IS an incident, and not the essential thing.
 That which in its consummation is not commerce does not become commerce among the states because the transportation we have mentioned takes place" said the court.

BIRKHEAD DAMAGE
 SUIT IS SCHEDULED TOBE HEARD MONDAY

Jackson. Mss. December z.--The scene in the Blrkhead-R Russell dam age suit. in which stenoerapher is suing the governor of Mississippi for 5000 will be shifted to Oxford, Miss. where the case is on tha fed erai court docket for the term be- ginning Monday.
 Frances c. Birkhead. q Mississippi girl. former Btenographer of Cover nor Russell. alleges In her petition that the cheit executive with the promise of marriage, sedHeed her and later when she became i'll. connived at an illegal operation which left her an invalid.
 The Governor denies the charges and hfnted that his enemies ars be- hind a plot to ruin him politically.
 Many witnesses have been sum moned by both sides and batteries of the finest legal talent in the state have been retained.
 It is not certain the case will be tried during the present term, as he judge has the preogative of limiting the session to one week and other cases can supplant it on the calendar.
 Two hearings have already been held in thIs case. The first was in the federal court here where the suit was originally filed The case was dismissed for want of Jurisdic- ton, the court holding that Goxer- nor Russell was only 6 temporary resident of Jackson in virture of his duties at tho capitol The executive claimed that his home was at ox- ford.
 Difficulty. however, was encoun- tered in serving the legal papers on the governor at Oxford. as he did not visit his home until election day in September. when he returned to vote. It was then that he was served with the papers.

ATTRACTIVE STATE' AID SCHOOLS NOW.
 DOT RURAL AREAS.
Morgan County Scraps Log Cabins and Erects Home- Like Structures for Her
 School Children
TENNESSEE VALLEY BUREAU ! THE AGE-HERALD Hartseelle, Ala, Dec.

With the continued growth ana development of Morgan county. no
 phase Is so interesting as the con
 tinued development of the public school system. From time to time
 there had been marked changes from
 the old and antiquated systems which held sway here for many years, but 1t was not until the be-
 ginning of the year 1921 did the
 movement for better schools and
 better school houses. better teachers and better equipment throughout, gain such a foothold as to be noticeable to any appreciable ex- tent.
 About this time, there was an agitation begun for the three mill
 tax with which to better equip the rural schools with such buildings and equipment as was commensurate with the great importance of the undertaking. Three-mill tax elec-
 tions were called in one or two ln- stances about that time, and from this beginning there has grown demand from other sections of the county, until today practically every section of the county has voted on the three-mill tax for school inn provement purposes.
 New Flint School Not only so, but from this splen-
 did beginning there has gone up at various places over the county many fine school buildings. which are directly tracable to the three
 mill tax and its benefits. At Flint
 there has been completed mode-l frame school building equipped l four splendid large class rooms Sgeh large auditorium, at cost of s10,0oo. which will take care of
 the school interests there for many years to come.
 At Danville a similar building Is now in progress and will be com pleted before the Christmas holidays.
 This latter building is being built
 with state aid and the results of the three e-mill tax. In the Collins school house community a modern new building has recently been
 completed, bringing to the children of that rural section many of the advantages enjoyed by the city schools.
 This is .only few instances of what other sections of the county
 have done in preparing for better educational facilities.
 Hays Progressive
 To Prof. E. l.. Hays, county super intendent is due much of this ad- vanced effort. for 1t was he who first started the agitation for the three- mill tax and better educational facilities. The obsolete school houses with their poor equipment have been pushed aside, and in their stead has been erected modern ones, and every school community has felt the new life blood in educational affairs, and today the interests of the rural I school were never more pronounced,
 and the building program Is not near | completed.
 | Thirty-two districts in the county have voted the three-mill tax, and | the revenue therefrom derivable this
 school year amounts to $44,206.5S.
 There are still other districts over the county where the patrons are con
 templating the voting at an early | date on this measure.
