(By The United Press)
 St. Louis, Mo-, August 7.-The formal probe of the fatal Sulphur Springs, Missouri, wreck on the Missouri Pacific railroad which claimed thirty seven lives, began today. The investigation started at DeSoto, the county seat of Jefferson county, when Coroner George w. Elder called the wit ness, including the train crews, for question ing.
 The Missouri Pacific already had its investi- gation we'll under way and the roads prelinin- ary reports to the Interstate Commerce Connnis- sion and the Missouri Public Service Commission have already been made and these bodies may also start inquiries into the failure of Matt Glenn, en- gineer of the fast Texas train No. which Satur- day night crashed into No. 32, local which was taking water near Sulpher Springs, to heed the block signal, which act was probably responsible for the wreck, in the belief of John Cannon, as- sistant Manager, of the road
 Glenn was killed. All bodies of those killed in the wreck were recovered Sunday morning, and the bodies cleared soon afterwards.
 Six bodies were taken to DeSoto and the re- mainder to St. Louis. Six unidentified bodies re- main here. Thousands of persons filed through the morgue Sunday.
 The crash was one of the very worst that ever occurred upon the system of the Missouri Pacific and it likely will be several days before all the details as to the responsibility for the disaster will be known

SOIaPHONE SUBSCRIPTION
 RATES
THE IMPORTANT ITEM.

While there will be good deal of noise over other items in the presidents railroad peace plan, the first recommendation is by far the most important: First, railway managers and workmen are to agree to recognize the validity of all deci- sions of the railroad labor board and faithfully to carry out all such de cisions as contemplated by law"
 This pledge, subscribed to and kept by all rail heads and employees, wonld mean an end of railroad strikes. The thing is to get the in terested parties to make the pledge and then to keep it. It is of no use to form arbitration boards or set up frobanals, official or unofficial to settle the disputes of men so long as the men themselves refuse to abide by the decisions.
 One of the great difficulties in American industrial questions is a failure to keep the pledged word sa- cred. The failure has been as con- spicnous on one side as the other. When, men pledge themselves to abide by the decisions of rightfully constituted authorities and then keep their word there will he hope in the industriai situation.
 To. make this hope more secure those who have in charge the ap- pointment of industrial tribunals are under grave responsibility to keep their membership free from preju- dice or corruption.

THE SABOTAGE OF TIME

In his address at the opening Of the Chicago Pageant of Progress, Pcstmaster-General Work made a forcible presentation of the basic Ieyil in the coal mining industry. It is an evil that everybody recog-
 nizes and vet nothing effective is done about it.
 As Dr. Work says, there are about twice as many coal miners in the United States as are needed to per form the work of getting out the nations supply of coal. There are also very many more operating coal mines than the country needs. The result is that the miners or dinarily work only about half the time. Through an extremely power ful union-a union which causes its membership dues to be collected by the employers out of the wages of the mem they demand living wage for half-time work.
 ''The sabotage of time by the
 idle under pay" says pr. Work, |"and of pfoperty intrusted to them, must be added to the cost price of any prod0ct." And the price is paid by the consumer. And the consumers lin most instances are themselves wage earners who work steadily through the year to earn living. large percentage of the striking mine workers are not needed in the coal mining industry on any terms. There are industries where this surplus labor that now will neither mine coal nor let any body else do so might be employed at good wages the year around. Thus the rest of the miners might have steady employment mining coal.
 It is impossible to see why the people and the industries of this country should pay for coal prices sufficient to keep miners in idle ness half the year and give profit to the owners of thousands of pro- ducing mines for whose product under property arranged economic conditions there would be no sale in competition with mines where
 production costs are less. Even this \ is by no means the whole story. Coal mining can be done largely by machinery at only a fraction of the cost of hand labor. The miners union forbids the use of such machinery.
 Here is far-reaching sabotage that makes coal dear and hard to get No settlement of the coal strike that does not bring with it search ing investigation of this evil by a IcCmpetent federal commission will
 hold out any reasonable prospect lof leading to fair reduction in the excessive cost of fuel.-Chicago Daily News.

SENSIBLE NATroNAusM.

One of the most reaSSurlng thlnSS about the three small Baltic repub- lies recently recognized by the Unit ed Stataads t Hhnsuny 8lrey have learn- ed, in their short period of proba- tion, to work together
 At first, Esthonia. Latvia and Li- thuania fell into the same error that has characterized the small states of central and southern Europe and has been the curse of the Old World since the war. They felt their new natiOnalism so intensely, and were so jealous of their independence, that they over emphasized their separate ness. They fomented old prejudices against their neighbors and raised up unnatural barriers to trade and communication. 1t is that sort of thing which has been the chief ob- stacle to the economic and political reconstruction of Europe. But the Baltic states, unlike the Balkan states. quickly perceived that such policy hindered their own devel- opment. They have modified their commercial and other restrictions and are now said to be cooperating with each other for common pur- poses to an extent never Known be- fore.
 It is this same policy that will save poor old Europe. if there is any salvation possible for that dis iresscd Continent.

lFrom Monday.s pai1yl

T. H. Honnell, who resides three miles west of the city, and w. G. Sullivan, resident three miles east of town. came to the Press and Soliphone office this morning with box of cotton bolls showing the presence of boll weevils MT. Hon. nell said the pests were doing much damage to his crop and MT. Sulli- van expressed the same complaint. It is said, however, the insect is doing less damage in Greene county than at other points but the damage here is sufficient to cause the belief that the cotton yield will be con siderably reduced as a result of it's ravages.

Details of Wreck

Two of the local coaches were hurled down a 50-foot embarkment edging the Mississippi and four other coaches were telescoped, crush ing several passengers to death in their seats. Both trains were behind time and the fast passenger running from Fort Worth, Texas. to St. Louis, carried 1S0 passengers and the local 100 persons.
 According to MT. Cannon, Matt Glenn of St. Louis, engineer of the fast passenger, failed to heed a block signal warning him that the track was not clear. Glenn. 57, an engineer for 37 years without a mark against his record, was killed when he jumped.
 Fireman Stayed at Post
 Edward Tinsley, also of St. Louis. fireman of No 4, remained at his post and was injured seriously.
 Engineer Glenn shortly before ar irving in Sulphur Springs. received orders lon the run'' to pull over on a siding at Cliff Cave. 10 miles north of nere, to allow Sunshine Special No. l." en route to Texas, to pass, and Mir Cannon explained that the engineer failed to heed the block signal because he apparently was reading the orders when he passed the block. The orders were found near his body.
 Ghouls robbed the dead and dy- ing of whatever they could. Only one was arrested, however, and he said he was Wm. Hall of St. Louis,

 Many of the bodies could not be been scattered over such a wide area.
 Some Bodies May Be Tn River
 The railroad tracks parallel the Mississippi River and the trestle on which the disaster occurred spans Glaise Creek, where it enters the river. As result report was current that number of bodies were hurled into the Mississippi. There was no way of verifying thiS report
 Rescue work was intcrferred with by lack of proper light. This yil- lage is without electricity and rescue workers and more rabidly curious made their way among the mass of twisted steel and crumbled wooden coaches by the aid of kerosene and wood torches.
 Thousands of persons visited here late Saturday night and yesterday to view the wrecked and roads were blocked for radius of three miles. Dr. Hull. who was among the first at the wreck, said that bodies were found 300 feet from the accident One body was buried waist deep in Ia bog.
