he savings Of the people.
Statisticians tell us that during
nc year 1929 more than one bill
ion dollars ALL have been utilized
IN the erection Of homes for our
people, n considerable portion Of
which represents new home-owner-
ship. II is a splendid commentary
IN the rigbtful tendencies in Amer
lean life. IL shows right thinking
md right living.
In 1920 there were 1l,i00, 900
home owners in the United States.
and this number has been greatly
increased during the intervening
.wo years. 1t would probably be
safe to estimate that there aSe 49,
100000 home-owners in the United
States today.
A nation which spends more
shan a billion dollars a year for
new homes and which numbers
100000 home-owners among its
population, offers scant comfort
for the alarmist, the Bol;hevist
or the pessimist.
In many ways we, as a people,
are unmindful Of the values that
come from thrift, but the funda-
mentals are sound and no better
proof of this can be found than in
the extent of home ownership in
America and the rapid develop
ment of this phase Of our national
life.

MILL OWNER TRIES
TO END TEXTILE WAR
A. j. Pothier, Formerly Cover
nor, Intercedes in Effort to
Halt Strike.

PROVIDENCE, April Is. - Former Gov
Aram j. Pothier. owner OF large woolen
and worsted miles where wages have not
been cut. has interceded in the Rhode
Island cotton mill strike. and is trying,
single handed. to find some basis for the
settlement Of the walkout through COM
promise.
The efforts or the former Governor
have been closely guarded. He has con-
ferred with representatives OF both sides.
He refused to discuss the matter, saying
that he hoped to be able to talk some
time next week. In the meantime. he
said. '.rhe less said about it the better :
Manufacturers with whom he has
talked said he was feeling out both sides
for basis OF settlement rather than Of
fering a definite compromise.
News OF Mr.. Pothier's efforts became
public few hours after John o. Ames
of Goddard Brothers, owners OF several
mills and bleacheries which are closed by
the strike. issued statement declaring
The New York herald., 1922-04-16

the last three decades, the number OF
mines and the number OF employees have
increased, but the days OF employment
in year have shown no appreciable
gain. Increased demand and higher
prices have resulted in opening new
mine, enlarging others and employing
more miners. rather than in giving more
regular employment to men in the mines
already open.
"The miners in the soft coal industry
might well ask for a guaranteed mini
mum of employment as the basic need,
taking precedence over wage ADJUST
ments this year. To make employment
regular is important not only for the
standard of living OF the miners families
but for the economical conduct of the
industry. Capital. as well as men. is
wastefulIy used when money and energy
are invested on scale to produce much
more coal than is required. The public,
the operator an dthe investor and the
coal miners have a common interest in
making bituminous mining efficient and
economical"

wage cut.
The statement added that the cut
should be 40 per cent. instead of 20, III
goods are to be produced at cost
which would allow them to be marketed

The cut OF 20 per cent. was not made

OPERATORS BLAMED
/, FOR COAL UNREST
Charged by Russell Sage Foun-
dation With Promoting Idle
ness by Overproduetion.
N0NUNION DRIVE AT PEAK
Owners Say They Are in Posi-
tion Now to Prevent Spread
Of Strike.

That the peak OF the strike. among
non-union coal miners has been reached
was the opinion expressed yesterday az
the New York offices of the bituminous
operators. Reports received were to the
effect that the drive of the United Mine
Workers for recruits in the non-union
districts had reached its full force and
the operators are now in position to
prevent the strike from spreading.
The anthracite wage scale committee
will resume its deliberations tomorrow
with further consideration of the case
presented by the mine operators. IT Is
understood that they will ask for a cut
OF at least 15 per cent in wages.
The Russell Sage Foundation, after
an exhaustive study of the coal situation
covering a period of thirty-two years.
has issued a statement in which It
blames the overdevelopment OF coal
mines for the constant condition OF un-
rest in the coal industry.
1t points out that the bituminous coal
mines have been open for work on an
average of only 214 days a year from
1890 through 1921. It continues:
If 3O4 days be regarded as full
working year. the lost days Of employ
nlent and of mine operation have ay-
eraged 90 in a year. Only twice, and

the high mark when he had as few as
81 idle days in year. In eleven OF
these thirty-two years the loss of work.
ing time. and consequently OF wages,
has averaged 100 days or more for the
bituminous miner.
"Of these lost days 81 per cent, ac-
cording to the estimates of the United
States Geological Survey, have been due
TO the overdevelopment of soft coal
mines. Mines now in operation could
produce from 900 to 900. 200, 900 tons
a year. according to various estimates
of the Presidents Bituminous coai
Commission and statisticians of the
Geological Survey, while the country
can use approximately 500.0O0O0O tons.
This excessive development of mines
brings more men into the industry than
are needed and makes employment in
termittent and uncertain even when
business in general is most, prosper
GUS.
"As the demand for soft coal has in
creased from about 00,000.000 tons to
more than 500.0o0,000 tons annually in

LEWIS PREDICTS MINERS
WILL NEVER RETREAT

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, April 15.-Discla ini-
ing responsibility of the miner for "the
Ills OF the coal industry" John l.. Lewis,
president of the United Mine Workers
OF America, told the Midday Luncheon
Club here to-day that ''the principles at
issue in this great strike will not be
compromised by the mine workers
"The dream OF the coal operators" he
said. that the miners will engage IN a
multiplicity of conferences and negotiate
independent district agreements will not
materialize.''
Mr.. Lewis said such negotiations would
be like treating a patents organic
troubles by applying heating lotions to
his extremities
''The strike" he continued. SIS the
natural sequence OF the organized effort
OF the coal operators to beat the miners
backward to the level of subsistence In
the noh-union fields. The miners will
not retreat. The human values involved
are of infinitely greater consequence
than the profit margins of the opera
tors"
