X REECE'S army in Asia Minor has
" been almost demolished by the
forces of Renal Pasha, the nationalist
leader and at this writing the latter
is not far from Smyrna. The situa-
ton for the foreign colony in that city
is critical and British and American
warships have arrived there to pro-
tect their nationals. There have been
some bloody encounters between the
opposing armies, but for the most part
it appears the Greeks have retired, in
considerable confusion, without put
ting up much of fight. The Turkish
leaders are said to be much superior
to the Greek commanders. 1t was
reported that General Tricoupis, re-
Gently made commander in chief of
the Greek forces, was captured by the
Kemalists.
The Greek morale, both in Smyrna
and Athens, seemed to have been
broken. Movements were said to have
been started to compel King Constan-
tine to abdicate and there were rumors
that the cabinet was about to resign
and that Former Premier Venizelos
would return to power. However, it
was stated that the government would
not consider the evacuation of Smyrna
or the surrender of the Greek mandate
in Thrace. Both of these things the
Turks demand before they will talk
of peace. The Kemalists, and the
French who are friendly to them,
blame Great Britain for its support
Of the Greeks and their claims. A
rising of Turks on the south side of
the Dardanelles has alarmed the Brit
ish, who are concentrating on Gal
lipoli peninsula to check a possible
march on Constantinople. Bulgaria
has taken advantage of the situation
by sending to Athens new demands
concerning Thrace.

@ ETTLEMENT of the railway shop
~ mems strike may be at hand. Last
week B. M. Jewell, head of the shop
crafts, called their policy committee
to meet in Chicago September II, the
day set for hearings on the motion to
make permanent the sweeping injunc-
ton obtained by Attorney General
Daughetty. There are 90 members of
the committee, and some, of them said
freely that it was obvious that set
Element was in sight.
President Willard of the Baltimore
q Ohio was said to be working on. a
plan for separate agreements.
On the other hand, various railway
executives fatty denied that any move
ment was on foot looking to an agree
ment with the shOpmen. Their chair
man, T. Dewitt Cuyler, asserted the
railways already had won the strike,
that on September 1 they had 100000
shOpmen at work, and are adding thou
sands daily to their shop forces.
Criticism of the unparalleled in
clusiveness of the injunction issued by
Judge Wilkerson was not confined to
labor circles by any means, being
shared by members of congress, many
editors and other presumably unbi-
.ased persons. Probably taking note
of this fact, the administration let it
be known that the government had
mo intention of enforcing the injunc-
ton to the point of abridgment of
free speech or otherwise invading the
constitutional liberties of citizens. At
torney General Daugherty indicated
that there would be no interference
with labor meetings "held for lawful
purposes" but that abe government
would step in if the strike meetings
were for the purpose of "inciting
riots" or other violation Of the law.
So far organized labor has practically
ignored the restraining order, but the
government agents, while keeping
close watch on the proceedings, have
done little in the way of attempting
enforcement Naturally, on Labor day,
the union leaders, from President
Gompers down, took the opportunity
TO attack bitterly the action of the
attorney general. Later the labor
chiefs mapped out plan Of attack on
the injunction, seeking counter-injunc-
lions.
Talk of a general strike largely sub
sided during the week, for all but the
more radical laborites recognized that
such thing, hitherto unknown in the
United States, could not succeed
They probably realize, also. that the
workers, no less than the rest of the
population, would be deprived of most
of the necessities and comforts of life
by general strike.

TT HE assembly of the League Of
l. Nations is holding another ses-
sion in Geneva and Augustin Eduards,
Chilean minister to England, was
elected its president. The chief mat
ter before the league is the Austrian
situation. Chancellor Seipel presented
the case for the suffering little1repub-
lie and tried to make it clear that
unless the allies granted immediate
and liberal relief Austria might have
to merge with another nation, possibly
Germany-which would violate the
treaty of Versailles-or preferably
Czechosloyakia, or maybe Italy, which
desires such an outcome. The league
council, after hearing the chancellor,
referred to a committee the entire
question of how Austria shall be aided
and under what guarantees. Seipel
scored the British and French banks
in Vienna whose manipulations added
to the downward crash Of the crown
and prevented the Austrian govern
ment from taking constructive meas
ures. Austria realizes she must sub
nit to financial control to obtain sums
necessary to her salvation but this
must not affect her sovereignty he
said.
Great Britain's seizure of the entire
phosphate deposit on the island Of
Nauru in the Pacific was the Subject
of protest to the league council by
the United States, and Marquis I'M
periali of Italy also demanded infor-
nation concerning this. The treaty
of Versailles provides for equal ex-
ploitatfon opportunity of national re-
sources in inundated territory by the
allied and associated nations. After a
heated debate Lord Balfour considered
and finally consented to the request
for additional information as long
as it is expressly understood theTe
is no criticism of the British govern
ment's action"

D INNING true to form, the Repub
N licans of Wisconsin renominated
United States Senator Robert NJ. La
Toilette in the primaries last Tues
day. No one with any knowledge of
the situation expected they would do
otherwise. However, "Bob's'' majority
was probably a surprise even to him,
being well over 100000 according to
incomplete returns. 1t was a landslide
and carried with it the entire slate
backed by LaFollette, including Gov
ernor J. J. Blaine, who won by more
than 10000. Rev. w. A. Garfield,
college president and candidate of the
Anti-Saloon league, was unable to de-
tach from the senator's support many
of the Republican drys although La
Toilette is openly wet. Then, too,
the senator naturally received the
votes of the large population of Teu-
tonic origin. The one surprise of the
day was the defeat of Congressman A.
p. Nelson of the Superior district by
Fl. II. Peavey Nelson is a prominent
leader of the drys and his downfall
was accomplished by combination of
the LaFollette organization and the
Association Opposed to Prohibition.
The Democratic nominee for senator
against La Toilette is Mrs. Jessie J.
Hoover of Oshkosh.
In the second Democratic senatorial
primary in Mississippi, according to
partial returns, former Senator James
K Vardaman was beaten by Hubert
ID. Stephens, former congress Iman.
Woodrow Wilson, when informed Of
this, expressed his satisfaction, which
will be shared by the American pub
lie generally.

TOHN II. CLARKE Of Ohio resigned
~ as associate justice Of the Supreme
court of the United States, and George
II. Sutherland, former senator from
Utah, was appointed to fill the vacancy
and confirmed by the senate. Justice
Clarke gave slight reasons for his
resignation except that he had reached
the age for retirement. He was APP
pointed by President Wilson in 1916
and had sometimes been criticised by
conservatives because of his decidedly
liberal tendencies. Mr.. Sutherland,
whose great legal ability is widely
recognized, is classed as liberal.
He was born in England in 1862 and
received his education in the schools
of Utah and the University of Michi-
gan. He is a close personal friend Of

Few Posted on Coal Dust.
In spite of all that has been written
on the dangers from coal dust, rela-
lively few coal mine officials have any
definite knowledge as to the agencies
that ignite dust, as to the kind of dust
that ignites, or the size or quantity of
coal dust that is dangerous; or the
kind Of dust that propagates an ex-
plosion if started by another agency.
Ideas as to the best methods to reduce
the quantity Of coal dust, or to render
the dust nonignitable are extremely
hazy. Methods adopted for this pur-
pose are often half-hearted and inefff-
Client, and are based not on scientific
study, but by haphazard guessWork.
Explosions continue, with resultant
heavy loss Of life and property. Coal
dust is frequently the most active fac
tor in such disasters.
Rapid expansion of the use of cleo
tricity underground has introduced
problems that have not been satisfac-
torily answered, or the information re-
gar6ing them is not widely known.
Coroners' inquests disclose the fact
that mining men, even those who en-
deavor to keep informed, are hazy rs
to up-to-date safe practices. To what
extent, or under what restrictions may
electrical pumps, electrical cutting ma
chimes, electric locomotives, telephones,
or electric signal wires be used in
gaseous and dusty mines? What volt
ages may be used safely in any mine,
and what precautions may be taken in
gaseous mines to prevent short-circuit-
ing in rock falls? These and other
questions puzzle men responsible for
safety in mines.
Advice by Bureau of Mines.
The safety of coal mines and miners
charge are not familiar with safe
methods. The following recommended
tons, therefore, are offered by the bu-
reau of mines.
1. All persons in responsible charge
of the direct operation Of coal mines
including superintendent, foremen, ire
bosses and shot firers-should be re-
uuired to have certificates of COM
potency issued by the state, showing
that the applicant has passed an e1-
animation clearly establishing his
knowledge of what constitutes up-to-
date safe practices in the branch or
branches of mine operations under his
jurisdiction. All such certificates
should be revocable by the state for
cause, should expire after five years,
and should be renewed only upon TAX
ing another examination. The latter
requirement would compel all operat-
ing mining men to keep conversant
with progressive safety practices.
2. Mining companies should require

CECRETARY OF STATE HUGHES
Oand his party arrived at Rio de
Janeiro, were given an enthusiastic
reception and housed in palace, and
on Thursday the celebration of the
one hundredth anniversary of Brazilian
independence was inaugurated with
impressive ceremonies and patriotic
festivities. The centennial exposition
is still far from complete but will be
opened soon. 1t is interesting to note
that at the presidential reception
Secretary Hughes took second place
to Mgr. Cherubini, ambassador from
the Vatican, because Brazil is a
Catholic country. Two immense Vati-
can guards in red uniforms and gold
helmets accompanied the representa-
tive of the Pope.

plane Sampaio Correia came to grief

plane was wrecked, they are proceed

SAFETY IGNORED
BY MINE. bosses
THIS is PROVED BY ExAMINA-
TON OF MANY DISASTERS
AND AT INoUESTS.
LAW PROVISIONS UNKNOWN
Few Have Definite knowledge as to
Coal Dust Explosions - Following
Advice of Bureau of Mines Would
Save Many Lives.
BY JAMES p. HoRNADAY

Wash1ngton.-Exam OF nu-
merous disasters, such as fires or ex-
blossoms, and the evidence at coroners'
inquests following such disasters, have
shown how frequently men in charge
OF the operation and safety Of mines
have forgotten, or have failed to learn,
details OF safe mining practices. After
securing position of trust as super
lntendent, or certificate Of competen-
cy to act as shot-frer, fire boss or mine
foreman, some men seem to have felt
1t unnecessary to keep safety pr1ncl-
pies In mind, or to keep abreast of cur
rent progress In safety; they have con-
centrated on getting out maximum ton
mage at minimum cost.
In coroners' inquests, the testimony,
after disasters, has shown that fire
bosses, foremen and coal mine super
intendents are noticeably lacking In
knowledge of the provisions Of the
state mining law relating to fans or
doors, frequency of crosscuts, nature
of stoppings necessary, electrical
equipment, records of daily mine ex-
aminattons, quantity of air required, or
splitting and overcasting. According
to the federal bureau of mines some
mine foremen confer rarely or not at
all with the fire boss, and do not COM
ply with the law as to the daily re-
porting of the fire boss to the foreman,
and the keeping Of daily written rec
ord by both, through ignorance of such
requirements.
Some superintendent, foremen and
fire bosses admitted they had not read
the state law on coal mining; one SUI
perintendent considered enforcement
Of the state law the work of the state
inspector. The latter impression is
more or less general one; for in
stance, in a gaseous (closed lamp
mine in state having severe penalty
against carrying matches into such
mines, man caught in the mine with
matches in his shoes was not prose
cuted, presumably because the state in
spector was not present to take ac-
ton.

HUGO SHINES, German industrial
l. magnate, and Senator de Luber-
sac, president Of the committee on
French devastated regions have made
an agreement providing for the de-
livery by Germany Of one billion dol
lars worth of reconstruction material
and work. To obviate the bad effect
of having many Germans working in
France, de Lubersac explains, it was
arranged that the greater part of the
labor will be utilized in Germany. The
German manufacturers of the goods
delivered are to have per cent profit.
The Socialist press in Germany attacks
the whole plan as purely selfish con-
tract at the expense of the German
governpent and labor, and il. esti-
mates Shines profits at 45,000000,000
marks.
DR.. Hermes, German finance minis
ter, is negotiating with Belgium con-
corning guarantees for six-month treas
ury certificates which Germany is to
give Belgium in lieu Of cash. His
difficulty is threefold, for he must
satisfy not only the Belgians, but
also the German cabinet and German
financial and Industrial leaders. 1t
seems likely he will have to seek for
the guarantees from foreign financiers.

 Charges of "partisanship" and "po- litical favor" were tossed about dur ing the debate on the resolution dur ing which Mss Mary Garrett Hay of New York demanded to know If the federation is afraid to say what 1t knows to be true"
 The convention referred to the com mittee a resolution calling for fed eral enactment and improved state legislation on child labor and passed a resolution for development of Mis- sissippi waterways and regulation of bill boards.
 Invitations were presented today from Grand Cany on, Ariz and At lanta, Ga, for the 1923 council meet ing and from St, Louis and Los An geles for the 1924 biennial.
