MASTER MECHANIC MOORE
RETAINED At NEWPORT

John Moore, general master me-
chanic at the naval torpedo station.
Newport, r. l., who was to be re-
tired this month, has been certified
by the navy department for an ex-
tension of two years under the pro-
visions of Section 6 of the Retire.
ment Act of May 22, 1920.
Mr.. Moore has what is perhaps
the most remarkable record of any
machinist in the government serv-
ice. While G. P. o. in the navy he
was placed in charge of the machine
shop at the torpedo station. At that
time there were but two. or three
civilians employed in the shop. Since
his appointment as civilian SUPER
visor the plant has been enlarged
from time to time so that now there
are nearly one thousand machinists
employed besides the considerable
number of other crafts.
He has had much to do with the
perfecting of the modern mobile tor
pedo and is thoroughly familiar with
every phase of it's development.
AS a supervisor Mr.. Moore has
shown rare executive ability both in
dealings with the officers and with
the men under him. The assurance
of his continuance in the. service for
two years is very gratifying to those
who are now employed at the New
port Torpedo station and also to the
many former employees who are now
scattered far and wide.

HARD COAL men
SETTLE STRIKE
Five Months Battle With Union
Shop Contract Won.

After five months idleness 100000
anthracite coal miners have won
their strike.
The agreement extends the agree
ment that expired April 1 last to Au-
gust 81 next year.
Before the agreement was reached
the coal owners made a plea for a
public mandate" on whether they
should accept the agreement. The
coal owners wired mayors of cities,
and to editors and commercial bod
les: 1--WE shall greatly appreciate
telegram from you stating whether
your community favors conceding the
demand (of the miners)s in view
OF the existing emergency"
The purpose Of the coal owners
was. to have an alibi against their
high prices the coming winter. They
want to be in a position where they
could say: you told us to sign,"
when they begin their profiteering.
The coal owners will be asked,
however, to show how they can JUS
tify increases in the price of coal
when they are paying the same wage
rate as last year and have a freight
reduction Of 10 per cent over last
year.

$61 less than the sum allowed by
the national industrial conference
board for its liberal standard Of liv-
ing
Methods of Adjustment. -
Another way of looking at it is
this. The national economic research
bureau finds that the total income
OF non-agricultural persons having
more than $4,000 a year is $1s,so2,-
615,OO0. TO deduct from that total a
sum sufficient to make up a living
wage" for those who now receive
Tess, would mean, according to stat
isticians, deducting approximately
$14,000,000,000 a. year. Obviously
that is quite impossible. TO do that
would put those who now receive q
living wage" in worse position
than those who receive less than
$1,500 now. Consequently the only
other resource, for providing an in
come equal to paying a living wage
is increased production.
There Is one other element which
enters into the calculation, however,
which initiates against a to strict
application of these figures. The total
population Of the United States, Jan.
1, 1920, was 1O5,710.62O, and the
number Of persons gainfully en-
ployed on the same date was A.
6O9,192. In round figures, these GEN.
sus figures indicate that one person
is gainfully employed for each rs
persons In the country. On the other
hand, the accepted basis for fig
uring the required income for fam
lilies is on the basis of five to the
family.
Both the bureau Of labor statis-
tics and the national Industrial con-
ference board In their calculations
adopted the standard of two adults
and three children for each family.
The former figured that it cost ST.
fully employed for each family, and
the latter organization estimated thu
cost at $1,65S. On the basis of five
in a family, the census figures quot
ed by the national research bureau
would indicate two persons gain
fully employer. for each family, and
as the average income for the Unit
ed States is found to be $1,592, the
correlative conclusion is that the
average income per family of five Is
$S,l84, which is considerably higher
than the budget established by any
OF the estimating sources.

USE BLACKLIST METHODS

Cincinnati, Sept. 14.-The strike
committee of the Boot and Shoe
Workers union is warning members
on strike of a despicable attempt by
employers to drive strikers back to
work. It Is stated that the homes of
the strikers are visited by alleged
canvassers and solicitors who secure
information regarding temporary
employment Of the striker. This in
formation is turned over to the shoe
manufacturer, who has succeeded in
many cases in securing the dismissal
of strikers.

WHAT PRoFIrEERS: MADE

Washington. Sept. I'm urging
the soldiers bonus on the floor of
the senate. Mr.. Pittman. of Nevada
reminded his colleagues Of these war
profits made by men who are oppos-
ing the bonus:
when think of the $4,000, ,eoo,-
900 made in excess. profits b y: the
profiteers OF this country; when I
think Of the $15,000,000,00 of
profits in addition to the excess
profits which were. turned by cor
porations into capital stock for the
purpose of avoiding paying of taxes,
L am astonished at the greed, the
heartlessness and the lack of pa
triotism of the great. financiers of
the country.
"You could pay this whole thing
with a. billion five hundred and some
odd million dollars. Yet the excess
profits. earned during the war were
over $4,000, 100000. A little over
10 per cent Of the excess war profits
OF corporations alone would pay the
whole thing. Yet, it is a crime to
ask for it!
six billion dollars Of excess
profits were made by individuals in
this country during the war and out
OF the war, yet those individuals,
including some of the highest Off
GERS of our government, are so sell
fish and inhuman that they are un-
willing to give up, we will say, Is
per cent Of those enormous earnings
to pay those soldiers"
Senator Pittman referred to the
United States chamber of commerce
as "a highly intelligent, cold
blooded, heartless organization.
moved entirely by instincts of self
ishness and greed.''

defects Of the varied character men

rious: 169 were found to be in such
condition thta; they were not safe
condition that they were not safe
upon the carriers. under Section 6
Of the act, requiring them to be
withdrawn from service. OF the 9TH
ers, 992 were found to have defects
less serious in character, but in need
Of prompt attention. In 1895 cases
defects, though not such as to give
cause for immediate concern, were
such as in accordance with sound
practice should have attention."
That the report is in large meas
ure a whitewash Of the railroads is
the belief Of many we'll informed
persons in Washington, including
some who are familiar with the in
ner mechanics of the I. G. c.
Over HRlf of Engines in Need of
Repairs.
On the basis Of inspections made
the report guardedly brings out the
fact that something over half the
engines examined are in need of re-
pairs that should be made in accord
with sound practice"
This means that it is not Sound
practice" to operate more than half
the engines examined. Safety is the
only thing considered by I. C. C.
examiners in defining "sound prac-
tice' and there must therefore be
an element Of danger in the opera
ton of more than half the engines
examined.
If the same ratio holds for the
10000 locomotives in use in the
United States, then there is an ele-
ment of danger in connection with
the operation of more than $4,000
OF those locomotives. Passengers
have less than a fifty per cent chance
OF riding behind an absolutely safe
locomotive every time they board
train.

International Labor News Service.
Washington, D. c., Sept. 14.-Half
the locom olives in use on American
railroads are in need Of repairs that
should be made to comply with
sound practice" according to what
Is generally accepted as a conserva-
tive report just submitted to the
senate by the Interstate Commerce
commission.
The report quotes figures on only
4,OS5 inspections. 1t does not deal
with reports already published and
not denied that during July, first
month of the strike, there were
$4,000 violations of I. C. G. rules
governing operation Of locomotives!
Each violation of the locom olive
inspection law is punishable by a
fine of 800. No steps have been
taken by the department Of justice
to prosecute and collect these fines.
The report submitted to the SEN
ate does not deal with August fig
ures and there is every reason TO
believe that the condition of loco
motives has been worse during Au-
gust. the second month Of the strike,
than during July, the first month.
1. c. G. Says 1t Can't Determine
Extent of Danger.
With only fifty government in
spectors to inspect seventy thousand
locomotives. resulting In the inspec-
ton OF four thousand and eighty
five locomotives in July. the COM
mission states that it is not possible
Tor the government to determine
the extent to which the law is be-
Ing violated" All the carriers feel
the extent to which unsafe or de-
fective motor power is in use.

ton throughout the country. In this

MARKETING PLAN

Unqualified Endorsement Given
BY President Harding To CO.

DALLAS, Tex, Dec. 18.-Presi-
dent Harding gave his unqualified
endorsement to the cooperative
marketing movement in America to-
day in a message delivered to the
national convention of Farmers Co.
operative Marketing association in
session at Washington, according to
q, message received by the Texas
Farm Bureau.
Il know of no single movement
that promises more help toward the
present relief and permanent better
ment of agricultural conditions than
this. one," the president said. His
letter was read before the conven-
ton by Senator Ernst, of Kentucky.
Following is, the text of the letter:
my dear Senator Ernst: Several
weel ago when you called my at
tention to the fact that the National
Council of Farmers Cooperative
Marketing associations was TO meet
in Washington this month. | was un-
willing to deny myself the privilege
of meeting with the organization.
hoping it might be possible TO do so.
find now that owing to pressure
of many duties that it is impossible.
Il know of no single movement
which promises more help toward
present relief and tie permanent
be!terment of agricultural conditions
than this one. Whoever mas cared
to read my recent message to the
congress will understand the depth
of my conviction about the necessity
to do everything possible to help the
farmer through his present era of
depression. am anxious that the
government do everything within
reason and sound procedure: and I
am still more anxious that the farm
ers shall themselves cooperate to
make governments efforts doublv
etflcacious. In the long run, gov
eminent aid cannot be made effec
tive unless the farmers shall be or
ganized and alive to their own re-
sponsibility to establish and use prac-
teal instruments for the distribu-
ton of credits, and the assurance
of the most economical marketing
methods. This association stands
precisely for the best, most intelli-
gent effort to establish such methods
and to teach the farmer and his
friends to utilize them. Because I
am convinced of this l feel that this
meeting is of unusual significance
and l wish you would convey this
expression in the most emphatic
terms. Most sincerity yours,
