Sixth Conference.
The present is the sixth general
wage conference held in the hard coal
fields since the award of 1903 of The
anthracite coal strike commission ap-
pointed by President Roosevelt, as a
result of the long strike in 1902.
AS an indication of the possible
length of the present negotiations, re.
cords of former joint conferences all
of which began about the same time
as the present one. show that in 1905
an agreement was signed on May Z, in
1909, on April 20 in 1872, on May 20;
in 1916, on May 5 and n 1920, on
Sept. 2. There was suspension in
1906, when the mines were idle about
five weeks, and in 1912, when there
was a cessation of production for six
weeks. In all other years the miners
remained at work while negotiations
We're in progress.
The principal demands of the min
ers follow:
A two-year contract.
A 20 percent increase in the contract
wage scale.
A 81 a day increase to all labor
paid by the day, and that differentials
existing between differapt classes of
employees prior to the 1920 award be
restored.
A uniform wage scale in all colleries
for occupations of like character.
An eight-hour day for all employees
those working under ground to count
their hours from the time they enter
| the mine until they leave it.
A standard check off provision.
That where coal is paid for by the
car the system be changed to ton
mage basis.

BERLIN. Feb. 19.-Economically
Germany stands at the parting of the
ways and the Genoa conference will,
perhaps, determine whether the coun-
try Will turn toward slow reconstruc-
ton or catastrophe. The railway
strike was only one indication Of what
is to come if some sort of reconstruc-
tlon on an all-European basis does not
come before many months.
Time is wasted when every efrt to
analyze the situation Is branded as
propaganda, and 1t should be possible
to discuss tho situation now without
being open to the charge Of special
pleading. Even Poincare Is now COM
PEELED to acknowledge certain contra
dictions in his theories and facts
The railway strike which was con-
Quoted by the conservative element Of
labor was only a faint indication of
what is likely to follow unless some
measure of stability is brought to the
country's economic life. 1t must not
be forgotten that thus far the main
burden Of the reparations bill has fall

lation rather than on those elements
of society who were looking for a
place in the sun.

BOWEN HAD CLEVER
SENSE OF HUMOR

Few of the ordinary people have
the same keen sense of humor poss-
essed by one j. A. Bowen, acting SUI
perintendent at the city farm in Jack
sonville. He caused one Of the negro
convicts to be wrapped in gunny
sack and placed in a pit. Then he
had a couple of feet of earth thrown
in on top of him, shot off his revolver
several times, and then caused a cou-
Pile of shovels of ants thrown down
the neck of the half-buried man. The
prisoner had done nothing to cause
any of the cruelties. He had been
sent to the farm as punishment for
some illegal act he committed, it is
true; but his Imprisonment was for
corrective measures only. SO long as
he broke none of the rules of the in
stitution he deserved only decent
treatment. Bowen admits that ne
ibid the things charged, but explains
IuelI IL was al q JohC' IL GllS Olll-
cial is in the habit of playing pranks
of that sort then he is ripe for a pri-
son term or for a situation in a cell
at Chattahoochee. He is certainly a
dangerous man to allow loose. There
are some men, only a few, thank God,
who consider it "joke" to spit to-
bacco juice in dogs eye; others will
take fence-stake and beat a mule
or a horse till the animal falls; 9TH
ers will hogtie negro and pour bit
ing singing ants down his back. HUI
NOR is splendid thing to have and
to use; but there are some of suffi-
cient discernment to discriminate be-
tween humor and downright cruelty
that bears the imprint of the Roman
inquisition. Apparently Bowen is
not one of that recognizing class,

is no haggling over the prices. In
fact, the grape makes an ideal crop
for this state, and Putnam could add
another feather to it's cap if the in
dustry could be gone into upon COM
mercial basis.
Thus far there has been but one
holdback to the industry. That is the
terms upon which the cuttings are
sold by promoters Of bunch grapes,
Prices for cuttings have always been
vry conservative, and men have pre-
pared their land, secured their stakes,
and made full arrangements for the
.setfing out of large acreages; but
when came the delivery of the goods
there was found a stipulation in the
contract of sale that a certain num-
Der of years the selling firm was to
have full right and title OF all the
Cuttings from the new growth. Thus
the buyer, figuring that in two years
the sale Of his cuttings would more
than pay for the first cost of the
stock, leaving his vineyard very much
to the "velvet," would find that he
was merely serving as agent for the
ipropagator. In the majority Of cases
the deal was then called off-as the
"sale" really resolved itself into a
mere lease. The greed of the grapel

EDUCATION HAS TO Do
WITH MINDS AND SOULS

Dade county is not the only sec
ton of the state in which thehe have
been difficulties in connection with
the schools. And fortunately, now,
there is daylight ahead in the county,
and our troubles seem to be largely
past. This has been accomplished
because the people as a whole want
ed the schools to continue, and the
opinion Of the public found ways to
register itself effectively, says the
Miami Herald, editorially.
In Palatka the school board has
decided that it will be necessary to
close the schools, because the people
have not responded to an appeal for
funds. There is some justification
for the feeling that there shauld not
be an appeal for voluntary contribu-
tions to support the schools. They
should be supported by taxation.
Only under the most serious circum-
stances should a drive for school.
funds be permitted.
While this is true, it is rather diff
ficult to understand the attitude of
some people regarding the schools.
The Palatka News reports the case
of two members of the common
council, who are school patrons, who
expressed a preference for having
their children work in factories or
on the farm to attending school.
This is carrying out the vocational
idea in education with vengeance.
There is a movement today in educa-
ton to take the farm and the factco-
ry and the office into the school,
which may be a desirable thing. 1t
is very doubtful whether it is desir-
able to turn the factory and the farm
into schools, and make them the only
schools.
Some people have won considerable
material success without very much
schooling. The present generation,
however, will not be very we'll equip
ped for life without educational
training such as the schools alone
can give. Lie means something more
than making a living. The commu-
nifty that simply produces capable
factory workers or farm hands is
hardly a civilized community. Edu-
cation has to do with minds and souls
as well as hands, and mere toll can
never give a child the heritage to
which he is entitled.

department is to be conplimented be-
cause of this. A certain amount of
credit is also due because of the turn
ing in of the alarms at the first in
dications that fire may become Sc
rious.
There should be no delay in turn
ing in call for the fire department
using, of course, a modicum of
sense regarding bit fo smoke. 1t is
better to blunder over the first belch
of blaze and summon the fire de-
partment, even though it shall be
shown that it was needless, than to
hesitate until the flames shall have
reached that stage where they are
difficult to handle. 1t is because of
these precautions, which should al
ways be continued and becaue the de-
partment is prompt in response, that
The fire losses have for some time

CHRISTMAS SHOULD
NOT BE ABBREVIATED

Spelling out the word "Christmas'
is being advocated by the press
press throughout the country, and it
is to be hoped that all who have been
abbreviating so that it would appear
as "Xmas" will heed the hints that
have been made. There is no more
sense in Xmas than in Khan, and it is
certain that every Christian in the
country would utter a strong protest
over the latter abbreviation.
The origin of Xmas is in doubt. The
plan has been in use for many years,
however; but more recently the bet
ter informed have discarded the prac-
tice. There is something more in ac-
cord with the spirit of the season,
more mathematical of the holy
thoughts at this fine of the year,
more symbolical of what the day is
supposed to typify, in the use of the
word Christmas than of the corrup-
ton to a simple sand senseless
"Xmas."
By all means, let "Christmas"
stand out full and clear in all cases
where there is reference made 70 the
coming holiday season. 1t is sane,
sensible, and the more easily pro-
nounced.

FLORIDA Is DESTINED
TO BECOME A VINEYARD

Through a strong belief that
grapes could be produced in Florida
just as well as in California or New
York or Michigan there has been a
persistent effort for several years to
propagate and to cross several varie-
ties, with the result that this state is
producing a bunch grape every whit
as good as can be found in any Sec
ton of the United States. The in
dustry has assumed large proper
tions, as was explained at the recent
convention of grape growers held at
Eustis, and data regarding the acre
age already set to grapes brought out
some astonishing facts. The yield in
this state is most ample, so far as
the yards already set have shown,
while the quality is of such excel
.silsee that the market will never be
ring ed. In northern markets every
by paant from Florida is snapped up
be pr as the car is "set," and there
