THE recent coal strike terminated
in a complete victory for the miners
without the operators losing any
thing, as they will recoup through
advanced prices to the consuming
public. This strike demonstrated the
fallacy of considering industrial and
economic problems solved by the en-
ployers. acquiescing in all of their
employees demands and transmitting
the additional cost to the consuming

Matrimonial Gossip
Made by Princes Pearls

London's Oct THE fact that the
Prince of Wales is collecting pearls
for a necklace has furnished another
topic of absorbing interest for dis
cussion over the tea cups. and there
terestcd in the royal matrimonial
plans.
1t will be remembercd that Lord
Lascelles did exactly the same thing
before the announcement OF his en-
gagement to Princess Mary. But
even with that precedent. it is not
safe to assume that any exciting
news will follow the revelation Of tho
Princes interest in such matters, for
pearl collecting among the English
nobility is a time honored occupa-
ton.
Many priceless collections Of pearls
have been owned by Englshmen in
the past, but very few of them are
intact at the present time. The
Duchess Of Devonshire still possess
es the famous Dcvonshi.e pearls
which We're collected fifty years ago
at cost said tc have been 10000
pounds.
The Duke Of Buckingham during
the reign Of Charles |. was able 10
collect the most famous pearls then
in England but at the time of the
commonwealth the. were taken to
Paris and sold to various dealers
there.
Matching pearls in the present day
IS a hard task and, OF course, il re-
quires very long and well filed
purse. Even when money is no OBJ
Jet it requires much time and in
mite patience. All the markets OF
the world have TO be searched. and
each pearl must be considered in re-
iation to all the others in order TO
form perfect necklace.

"Preferred Glass"
For Rail Men

Chicago, Oct. l9--Pacing of rail
in exchange for the right to strike
was suggested by W. II. Stackhouse
of Davenport. Iowa, speaking here
today before the twenty ninth annual
convention of the National Associa-
ton of Farm Equipment Manuiac-
turers.
such a measure should effectively
protect the country from repetition
of the disastrous strike through
which it recently passed, and usher
in an era of comparative tranquility
insofar as the nations railroad trans
portation industry is concerned" he
declared.
Were congress TO enact a law
recognizing all railroad employees
as of especial vall:e to the service and
comfort of the public, declare them
to be preferred class, and fix their
wages periodically on a basis slightly
in excess of those paid in other in
dustries. coupled with the proviso
that any concerted refusal to cen
tinue such employment would con
stitute a felony, such measure
should effectively protect the country
This would be especially true if
such an act contained the stipulation
that such employment would at all
times be open to men and women Of
proper qualifications. regardless of
their utilization or non -affiliation with
any organization.
ut would become imperative that
congress likewise guarantee the car
riers a fixed rate of return on their
property values. if the great trans
portation systems are to be saved
from the destructive and eytravagant
effects of government ownership and
