SEEK FACTS ON
COAL PROBLEM
Bland Bill Would Create
Commission to In
vestigate.

WASHINGTON-In reporting the
Bland bill for creation of fact-fnd-
ing commission for the coal industry,
the house labor committee declared
that the principal work of the pro-
posed agency would be to settle dis
putes in the coal fields, to prevent
overdevelopment of the coal industry
and to bring about sterilization.
1T is startling statement, but
true, nevertheless" says the report,
that today there is no agency in the
federal government which has ascer-
tanned or can ascertain the correct
production cost of a ton of coal in a
we'll operated efficient mine. Not
only have existing agencies failed to
obtain information from an unbiased
source, but they have been denied the
legal right to obtain such information,
and from the source of information at
hand it would apparently be impos-
sible with the limited amount Of ex-
penses and effort for any committee
of congress to obtain this information.
Operators" the report added, "have
obstinately refused to give the COM
mittee their cost of production, and
it is fair to suppose that such reports
as were made voluntarily to existing
government agencies, who did not
have the right to examine books,
were padded and unreliable"

A Newspaper That Serues
SCOTTISH RITE MASONRY

FOK the MaSons all roads are leading TO Meal
ester this week for the tri-annual consstorv Ard
more Masons went early despite the heavy rains bad
roads and inconvenience OF travel 1t is the same in
every section OF the state Three times wear hum
areds OF people make their pilgrimage to that citv
'ea','e ther homes and business and spending a
week IN attendance upon the ceremonies
What is it all about and why this general inter
est is the question one naturally asks
Masonry has been defined as progressive science
1t is the science of building human character; that
with the passing of every generation ignorance and
superstition may lessen it's hold There are two
great schools of Interpretation: one is called the
Scottish Rite and the other is the York Rite "
Both great organizations have to do with the inter
preation OF the profound lessons taught in the Blue
Lodge. and by the term Blue Lodge we mean the
first three degrees known as Entered Apprentice
"Fellowcraft' and Master Mason"
Scottish Rite Masonry is liberal branch of this
great science; it attempts to lift the individual above
all creeds into the pure atmosphere of truth
"Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall
make you free. said one OF the worlds greatest teach
ers and Scottish Rite Masonry endeavors to impress
the individual that it is his mission to think and
plan and build not prison house in which his soul
shall be slave to fear but free and goried with its
inherent right to blaze its own way with the help
OF God
1t is peculiar, perhaps, in the respect that it
would Gull out OF the treasure house OF all ages every
great constructive truth and lay bare upon the
altar OF every civilization. 1t does not demand that
the next generation would be like ours in any par
ticular save that would preserve with the greatest
jealousy every constructive principle of all religions
and governments, until they be replaced by something
better. 1t is an attempt to build always higher always
stronger, by placing in the foreground OF every en-
terprse men who worthy and capable OF display
ing the finest traits of human character Wherever
there is Scottish Rite reunion it is safe to pre-
sumo that good citizenship is spending its time in
making the world happier and better place
