The Merchant Marine Hearings.

The Merchant Marine Hearings.
Committee hearings on the measure
recommended by the President for the
establishment Of an American mer.
chant marine are under way. Chair.
man Lasker Of the Shipping Board
has appeared and argued in support
of the measure. He will be followed by
others, and a report is expected in time
for action at this session.
Action should be taken. The subject
has long occupied attention. For one
reason or another, and sometimes for
no reason, action has been denied.
At last, however, we are face to face
with the subject in very persuasive II
not compelling form. The necessary
ships are in being. We are organizing
to greatly increase our foreign trade.
That business should be carried in
American bottoms. Besides, as ocean
freights have proved profitable to sew
erai other. nations, why should we not
share in that enterprise? The seas are
free so far as freight traffic is con.
cerned. = 50

Germany and the New Demands,

Germanyl and the New Demanos.
That the United States is very
vitality concerned in the final attitude
assumed by Germany toward the al
lied demands is made very plain by
most of the editorial comment on the
subject.
There is no longer a deep and
sharp cleavage between the interest
of Europe and America" points out
the Pittsburgh. Leader progressive

lor Of Germany calls a new taxation

there is anything to be a gaineo tsaI oy osn sne

The Specter.

4AV 6PSSSSA.
Efforts Of the House committee on
labor to bring the mine operators and
the miners into joint conference at
Washington April 10 appear unpromis-
ing of complete success, owing to re-
fusal Of some of the more important
groups of operators to come in. The
Pittsburgh vein operators yesterday
declined. Indiana operators refused
unless the entire competitive field is
represented, so that Pittsburgh's re-
fusal lets out Indiana. The largest indi-
vidual operating company in Ohio will
stay away. Still, President Lewis of
the miners union organiza ton said
that If any considerable number of
operators could be assembled he would
be willing to confer with them.
The effect of the strike on the rail-
ways is beginning to be felt within
the first week of it's calling. Trains
are being discontinued, crews laid of
and railway operatives facing unem-
ployment in increasing numbers. The
Delaware and Hudson, one of the lead
ing anthracite carriers, laid off 1000
men yesterday. Reports from West
Virginia tell of non-union men joining
the strike.
Addressing the Association Of Credit
Men Of this city yesterday. George H.
Cushing, managing director Of the
Wholesale Coal Association. predicted
that ''at the rate things are going now
the miners will have won their strike
within a month" He added that if
the miners get their demands the
public will have to pay the bill in the
future in increased coal prices. The
government has declared that in
creased prices by the dealers are not
warranted by circumstances and has
warned that the government is keep
ing it's eye" on the operators and
dealers.
Back Of the whole situation looms
the specter Of possible enforced con-
troll of the industry by the government
the admitted goal of the miners. In
his brief before the House committee
on labor, President Lewis Of the
union organization declared ''the
United Mine Workers of America have
demanded that the coal industry be
nationalized." In his statement Mr..
Cushman said that the miners want
national agreements because chose
bring national strikes, and nationwide
strikes frequently repeated will force
national control"

A bird came hopping on a limb,
The South Wind taught tune to him.
And when he sang it, light and gay,
Twas all about a Lazy Day.

Where clouds adrift above the bay,
Where perfumed breezes come and go
Like dream boats mirrored in the flow,
From every care our hearts will stray
And sing the song Of Lazy Day.

Babe Ruth Seeks
 Compromise With Judge K. Landis
Feels That He Made Mistake in Defying Authority of
 Commissioner

CHICAGO, Jan 19-"Babe" Ruth has decided that he went too far in violating the rules of organized base bail by playing post-season games and is attempting to persuade Judge K. M. Landis, baseball commissioner, through a personal appeal, to mitigate his punishment of suspension until May 20 and a fine of more than S3,000.
 Ruth, who is appearing at thea ter here this week, yesterday ;eIe- phoned Judge Landis' office in an ef- fort to arrange a personal interview with him, but the judge was confined to his home with a bad cold. A sec ond call was made today but the judge was still sick and indications are that Ruth may not be able to reach him. Judge Landis' condition is so bad that he has cancelled speak ing engagements.
 Ruth, however plans to call at the judges home tomorrow and has got in touch wit hthe baseball commis- sioner's doctors to try to obtain per mission for an interview If no inter l view can be arranged before the | Yankee Outfielder leaves town, he will take up his case with the judge by mail. The home run hitter refused 10 discuss the matter tonight but his close friends said that Ruth felt he had overplayed his hand and that he ] deeply regretted his Haunting oi Judge Landis' authority.
 Ruth's appeal will be based, it was said, on his present penitence and z plea to the judge not to injure the
 New York Americans by keeping hin out of the lineup for more than 2 month. He is expected to urge the
 judge to make his punishment en
 tirely fine.
