board" the opinion continued. "and. we
believe. of great majority of the peo-
pie. the shipments strike was an egreg-
ious blunder without any real justifica-
ton. and that 1t is said with the kindli-
est feelings for the employees who have
suffered most from its effects. 1t has
wrought harm to all and good to none.
1T has burdened the railways with an
unjust expense. has inflicted great losses
upon the public. especially the food pro-
ducers, and has resulted In approxi-
mately s177.535.524 loss TO the strikers
For all this the men on strike have won
nothing. They have gained no conces-
sion as to any matter upon which they
struck. For months the strike has been
merely struggle upon the part OF the
men to regain their position"
Contrasting the situation of the main
tenance Of way organization, which
withheld its strike ard appealed to the
board the opinion asserts the employees
received about $147.656.S66 In wages
since July first which would have been
lost had they gone or a strike. and In
addition have received an increase OF
wages Of about $20.Co0.00 year.

Hirshfield Calls Hearing, but

Attend.

Cost of Berwind- White Fuel to

Investigated.

YOUNGSTOWN, Pa. Oct. 20 (Associated
Press) Mayor Hylan's committee Of
five from New York city, which came to
Johnstown Saturday night to investigate
the conditions under which coal for
New York's transportation utilities is
mined in this area. to-day visited colo
MES Of union miners formerly employed
by the Berwind-White company.
David Hirshf1eld, Commissioner Of
Accounts, chairman of the committee.
announced the first hearing would be in
Windber tomorrow. Union men said a
large delegation would attend. Officials
of the Berwind-White company said the
company would not be represented. Mr..
Hirshfiela was told by the operators
that the company would be glad to re-
ceive the committee at it's offices. but
would not enter into any conference or
hearing the union leaders attend.
A small army of children, most Of
them poorly clad, formed an advance
guard for the investigators. Men and
women who were interviewed charged
tho company had prosecuted" these
miners because Of their union affilia-
tions, evicted them from company houses
and in some cases tossed their scanty
belongings on the highways.
I'VE are doing our best to live. but
we don't like to live in these tents an
other winter" said one woman to Com
missioner Hirshfield. A union repre-
sentative explained that some OF the
campers had lived in the colony for
more than a year.
At the chicken coop colony at Seanor
several families, who said they recently
had been evicted from company houses
had fitted up a fairly large chicken
house. and a family was living In each
of the tiny flats. The principal charge
by strikers at Seanor was that the COM
pany did not accurately weigh the cars
Of coal, and that the coal diggers
usually got the worst Of it,
Commissioner Hirshfield intimated to-
night that the committee might inquire
into the cost Of the coal sold to the
Interborough Consolidated by the Ber-
wind-W Company. The Berwind in
terests are heavy stockholders In the
Interborough.
The city government of New York
is a partner in the Interborough Con-
soljdated," said Mr.. Hirshfield. Charges
have been made that the Berwind-White
Company has not given fair deal to
miners with union tendencies, and that
1t makes an excessive profit in the coal
sold the Interborough. We are here to
get the facts"

quired TO work nights, sundays and hol-
idays. Union leaders said the men now
make from s65 TO $50 a month.
Such strike would seriously inter
fere with the movement of winter coal
in this section. and, timed just as the
first cold weather is setting In, easily
endanger the coal supply.
The meeting yesterday was called by
John Slote. chairman of local SAT, TO
hear a report of the committee which
tried last month to reach an agreement
with the boat owners.
Many OF the speakers wanted to
go on strike November l unless the
owners agreed to the increases. but 1t
was decided to wait until after Novem-
Der s. when a conference will be held
with the Coal Merchants Association.

Proof Of ,Insineerity

The insincerity of those who are trying to

twenty years might the charitable belief

Any paving that will pass the most casual in
spection is likely to its appearance for five
years Even the North Central avenue paving. which
was by class A paving, stood up well for
longer period than that. The paving on the East
Mcdowell road which would not now be cassed
paving at all would have outlived flve-year
guaranty.
The paving of West wahsington street between
Seventh avenue and the Capitol has been held up
as a horrible example Of unguaranteed paving when
as is well remembered, that job was rotten from the
beginning. It turned out just as those who had
watched It's construction and had rudiment
Rry familiarity with paving predicted 1t would do.
It's disintegration began almost Immediately. Like
wise the South Central avenue paving Of the same
kind of material and workmanship. One Of those
stretches began going pieces before the other was
finished.
No other paving in or near Phoenix has shown
any need Of repair within five years We have btu

cement concrete on South Seventh avenue some

Any contractor who would be able to give the
five-year guaranty bond, business proposition
would include the of the bond in his figures as

The quality Of paving should not depend upon

The Ghosts Of Nova Scotia

An Associated Press story yesterday of a haunted
house near Antgonish Nova Scotia, recalls similar
widely circulated and carefully investigated story
Of nearly fifty years ago 1t became known as the
North Amherst Mystery" The location too was
in Nova Scotia less than one hundred miles west Of
Antigonish The demonstrations reported then were
much the same as those which described in the
Associated Press dispatch especially to unaccount
able fires in the haunted house which broke out in
the presence of numerous behoders.
Reporters from New York and Boston
papers were sent to North Amherst and they con-
firmed the weirdest stories that had to the out
side world OF the strange things happening there.
1t appeared that there was young girl with whom
several ghosts classified good" ghosts and
Others bad" ones communicated. Glimpses of these
ghosts were caught by other persons and their mes
sages were frequently overheard especially that of
a bad" ghost who in the flesh had followed the sea
and had picked UP some vile language.
The North Amherst ghosts were given names by
the young girl and they SO frequently seen by
other persons that they were recognized and de-
scribed as to their personal appearance by them.
This thing went on for time until a sordid
individual from New York undertook to capitalize
ghosts He placed her on exhibition in various cities
and towns in Nova Scotia. For a time the ghosts
visited her but at last they quit coming Then the
manifestations in the haunted house ceased
There was never a solution of the North Amherst
mystery and We believe the reporters and others who
investigated it declared that they had seemed to
the things described by them. They uttered sus-

The idea of THE Presidents Forest" sug

stephen T. Mather director Of the national park
service, department Of the interior.
Mr.. Mather does not go quite far Mr. Hough
Il diyorcing that rich entirely from utitarian

even he goes much farther than residents of Northern
Arizona desire. More than that, Mr.. Mather sees
no good reason why the whole strip north of the
Grand Canyon should not be turned over to Utah
~ Northern Arizonians opposed to the creation
of such a forest as either Mr.. Hough or Mr. Mather
has in mind 1t would sequestrate vast tract which
s now source some revenue to the state IT would
result in a waste OF mellow" timber which eduid

one result Of such enterprise would be to
