pay of day workers in bituminous mines3"
 Mir. Lewis In the Central Com petitive Field the bssing rate, which is the drivers rate. is s7.50 per day. There are certain rates below that rate for inside labor, and that rate does not apply to the outside labor, Tn some of the outlying districts there are lesser rates of wages"
 Mr. Black: T am talking now about the Central Competitive Field. What proportion of the day men re- ceive the S7.50 day?"
 Mir. Lewis: Well. imagine from 75 to so per cent. That is merely an estimate, Congressman.
 The rates of wages for drivers pre- vailing in the different fields not clos ed by the strike vary from s3.44 to $500 per day of eight hours.
 In the mines of the Pittsburgh field which have indicated their intention to resume operations in response to the Presidents telegram. the wage es- tablished for drivers is $500 per day of eight hours-the rate of Novem- Der. 1917.

Production for the week just pre- vions 10 the railroad shopmen's strike was 5.337. .0O0 tons. and the eountry's s weekly current requirements are es timated al s,l00. .000 tons. From this we see that ls5.000 men have been producing approximately e6 of the rauatfy's requirements. and f this Is correct it would apparently follow that by the addition of approximately 160. 900 men of equal producing efii- cieucy. and working under like favor able conditions. the bitumiHous coal needs of the country would be met.

the drivers rates quoted T. should also be understood the other men who actually cut the coal and load 1t into the mine cars are paid on the piece work basis which enables them to earn considerable more than figures above given.
 The operators contend that wages should be reduced in the coal industry in keeping with reductions in other industries. The miners contend that wages have not been raised in the coal industry above a proper wage, and also take issue with the argument that there should be uniform "deha- tion" of wages Mir Lewis, President of the United Mine Workers of Am erica, at Congressional hearings pre- viously referred to stated as follows ''The argument that wages in one es- tablishment of industry should be re- duced because wages in another es. tabhshment of industry have been re- duced is fundamentally unsound."
 The miners further contend that their rate of daily wage is no measure of annual earnings, as their oeeupa tion is intermittent and irregular As remedy for this intermittent eondi- tion, the conference of the United Mine Workers of America at Indian apolis ratified the following: We. therefore. recommend that all new agreements be based upon the six hour day and five day week
 At the hearing of the Bland bill, Mir. Lewis. in reply to questions on this subject, stated as follows:
 Mir. Black .Is 1t contemplated 1 that the pay for the 6-hour day shall be the same as the pay for the present S-hour day?"
 Mir. Lewis: Yes '"

 Another factor in controversy which holds higher place in import anee with both parties than the wage schedule. is What is known as tho "check-oH.p - This is an arrangement whereby union dues and all union as. sessments are collected from the min. CTS by the operators through the sim. pie process of withholding such due; and assessments from the pay envei' opes. The contention of the operators is that this arrangement has enabled the miners to accumulate larger sums than they could otherwise have ae- cumulated. which have been used for the unionizatIan of the industry and the maintenance of strikes. The min CTS contend that the cheek-of is le- gitimate means of collecting dues and is based on long practice which orig mated in England.
 There are 10 agures available show ing the total income of the United Mine Worker of America through the medium of the "check-of. " Accord ing 10 statements of Mir Brophy.

Value of City Planning

Lack of city planning has cost taxpayers Of
this country millions of dollars in the last fifty
years, according to George Burdett Ford, the
American engineer, who is rebuilding Rheims.
In recent lecture at Columbia University he
said that any city plan would save large city
many millions by directing growth into channels
of efficiency and utility.
Before he went to Rheims to undertake re-
construction work there by invitation fof the
French government, Ford was city plan en-
gineer in New York and was a consultant on
many of the new building and zoning laws there
and in other cities. He was associated with the
Commission on the City Plan of New York. Be
sides aiding in the rebuilding of Rheims, he will
also direct work in Verdun, Lens, Arras and
other war-torn towns and cities in France
He said that recent surveys showed that in
fifty years Chicago had wasted S100000,000 on
Improvements that had to be removed or altered

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 25. =
The proposal of a great gold loan to
Europe vast sum of perhaps one or
two billion dollars to be divided among
the nations Of Europe having the most
severely deprecated currency - per-
sistently refuses to be shelved. In
view of the fact that the European al
lies already owe the United States
some ten billions of dollars, the natur-
al early reaction of most Americans to
/ the proposal is that it is out of the
question to throw good money after
bad. But still the plan crops up, fos-
tered not only by distinguished Euro
peans, but by thoughtful Americans
| The theory OF the plan is this: Eu-
rope owes US ten billion dollars and
cannot pay because she has too little
capital with which to start her indus
tries; therefore if we lend her, say,
two billions more, she will be able to
start her industrial machinery, make
money and pay back not only the new
two billion loan, but the ten billions
also
The situation is likened to a man
VINO has mechanical piano. 1t has
cost him a lot of money and he is anx-
1ous to hear tune to get his moneys
worth. First, he must put a nickel in
| the slot before the thing will function.
The reason it is suggested that the
! American loan be made in gold is
| that gold is what Europe needs more
! than anything else to form a stable
/ basis for her deprecated currency
| The reason that an American citizen
can take a piece of paper marked one
dollar to store and get one dollars
worth of potatoes is that everybody
/ knows there is one dollar in gold
| somewhere in the Treasury with
which to redeem that paper.
| The reason a German cannot take
a paper mark to his store and get the
old pre-war marks worth of potatoes
| for it is that everybody knows the
! German Treasury hasn't gold enough
to redeem more than hundredth part
Of the mark
! Therefore the paper mark becomes
worth only what the gold behind it is
worth, or perhaps trifle more. If
/ the gold behind American money dis
appeared, American dollars would de
preciate just as marks have. Indeed
during and for some time after the
American Civil War the same Ameri
can paper dollar that is worth 10I
cents today was worth less than 81
Fcents because there was only so cents
worth of gold behind it.
/ Now the United States has more
than enough gold to keep her paper

within few years, and that ST. Louis and other
growing cities wasted much of their improve
ment money throughslack of intelligent city plan
ming.
Some of the costly errors incident to haphaz-
ard city growth astdescribed by Ford are rail-
way stations located in. tumbledown neighbor-
hoods, far from the center of the city; schools
around which factories have been allowed to en-
croach to such an extent that most of the chill
dren traverse five or six blocks of streets con-
gested with heavy trucking, constant menace
to their safety; parks which have become sim
ilarly situated public buildings separated from
each other by great distances entailing waste of
time and nefficiency in the transaction of public
business; dwelling houses comfort of which has
been lessened and value deprecated by the cree
ton of tall buildings around them, and congested
traffic on one or two principal streets, resulting
in endless delays.
The ideal city, according to Ford, will group
its public buildings in one spot, and this civic
center will be architecturally planned so that it
will be thing of pride to all its citizens and an
asset to the community; parks will be provided
within walking distance of all residential sec
tions; the waterfronts will be utilized far as
practicable for boulevards so that congestion is
avoided; and the different types of buildings,
such as factories, dwelling houses and apart
ments will be zoned so that the rights of all will
be protected.

Proposed Loan to Europe
Further Credits May Lower Morale of Europeans
Advantages Set Forth.

money up to par Europe has not
nearly enough Trade with Europe is
extremely difficult and precariousS be-
cause of the fact that exchange is
changing almost from hour to hour
and no one can be sure what the mon
| ey he will be paid in will be worth
| tomorrow Americans want to trade
with Germany and other European ma
lions. Therefore, some Americans be-
lieve that we should lend our surplus
| gold abroad to stabilize foreign cur
rencies and start trade which would
result in the countries on both sides
| of the Atlantic making more money
and paying off debts.
! An interesting argument In favor
of such loan is the warning which
! has been issued by competent eco
! nomists against keeping all the gold
| in America Gold has baen coming in
/ for years until we have more than any
other Snation ever had in the history
of the world. 1t still is coming in.
Our hoard is rising and Europe's
dwindling. The warning is this: Eu-
ropean countries, having sent all their
| gold here might say, Gold is an arti-
fetal medium of exchange having no
value except by common consent. We
have no more gold and therefore it
i has no value to US. We will not deal
/ in it any longer and will not recog-
nize it as a thing of value. We can't
/ eat it or wear it for warmth and TINS
/ is no time to talk about adornment."
The United States would find that
! it had given food, clothing, machinery
and other valuable commodities and
received in return what had become a
very heavy, unwieldly and useless
metal.
| This seems an extreme statement,
vet the fact must be recognized that
! if nearly everybody had not long ago
| agreed that gold should be made the
yardstick of trade, gold would not be
much coveted. AS a commodity 1t is
/ not nearly so useful as iron.
! Take a case or two in point. When
| the Roman emperors sent as gifts to
barbarian chieftains in Germany and
| Helvetia, gold and silver jugs and
vases, these objects which were of
! great value as measures of wealth in
/ the Roman world, were regarded no
more highly by the barbarians than
: their own clay jugs and the Romans
found that the clay and silver vessels
/ were used Unfortunately. The one
/ test of their value placed upon them
was their utility.
i A legionary who had been recruited
from barbarian province and knew
nothing of the luxuries of precious
metals and jewels, was taking part
in the rout of a Persian host and the
looting of its camp. He found a leath
er bag filled with pearls of great price
After an examination he threw the
pearls away and kept the leather bag
He could think OF no possible use FOL
the little stones but knew that the
leather bag was a useful object.
Human nature does not greatly
