LIMITED DEBATE.

F Republican leaders at Washington succeed in
limiting debate in the senate end toward which
they working, they will make themselves
popular with a multitude of voters who are losing
patience because of the much windjamming and
little progress
There is no desire either on the part of the
public, or of the Republican leaders, curtail
honest discussion Of important issues, to pre-
vent the expression of directors or advo-
Gates, the time is distinctly past when any
senator should be allowed to hold up with indie
finite, hot air, bombast,-launched with the sole
purpose of blocking action administrative decis-
ions upon which the American public mpatiently
await.
Limited debate is imperative. with the vast
amount of business that representatives in Wash
ington are expected execute. When Congress
had but two important decisions to make
session; when the affairs of the country were
not complicated so urgent, 1t was all right to
food the air with lot of useless language that
read well to the folks back home, but the time is
far past when whole United States must abide
while the Senator from whoss makes spread eagle
remarks for the benefit of his constituency
Action is wanted Right away. The more
action the Republican Representatives get the
better pleased The public will be- The action may
not please all the people, but it is better to get
action and please part of the people than to have
the entire country displeased and anxious. Sena-
tor Kellogg hit the right note in urging limited
debate when he said:
ST have desire to restrict the freedom of de-
bate in Senate I recognize that it is of
tremendous Importance that there should be full
and free discussion of the measures that come be-
for the Senate But the time has arrived when
the business Of the country the interest of the
many sections of the country and the needs of the
people as a whole have become vast that Con-
gress should be able to transact the public business
freely and without obstruction. The government
of the United States is founded the principle
that a majority shall rule 1t is essential that
majority shall control legislative matters. The
practice of the Senate today frequently prevents a
majority of the Senate from expressing its true
views in legislation enacted

BRACKET MAKES
REPLY TO kEENEY
Declares Union Leader Blinds
Miners to Actual Facts
in Situation.

In answer to the statement made
by C. Frank Keeney, Charleston,
president Of district II, United
Mine Workers of America, printed
exclusively in last nights West
virginian, George S. Bracket, sec
rotary of the Northern West Vir-
ginia Coal Operators Association,
last night made the following com
ment:
''Mr. Keeney's statement that
there will be no reduction in min
er's wages not only shows that he
is still determined not to recog-
nize the position of IT, rairmont
operators in the competitive mar
ket, but does not have the true in
terest of the mine employees at
heart. Such statement only blinus
them to the actual facts of the
case. The records of the Northern
West Virginia Coal Operators As
ISOLATION and of the United States
geological survey show that the
miners are accepting work at the
mines in this district and in other
sections of the country in constant
ly increasing numbers at reduced
wages. The sane thinking employees
recognize that reduction is just
as inevitable in coal mining as it
is in other industries and in the
cost OF marketable commodities.
why did not Mr.. Keeney tell
the miners of the district that the
United Mine Workers of America
had just signed wage contract
with the newly formed Kentucky
Tennessee Coal Operators Associa-
ton which is a renewal Of the here
tofore knoxville agreement which
makes effective reduction from so
to so percent. under 1921 wages.
This new scale is made to conform
with the award of D. Steward Mill
er, referee of the permanent board
OF arbitration for miners in south
eastern Kentucky and eastern Ten
nesSee. The details of the scale are
as follows.
~ The newly organized Ken
tucky-Tennesse Coal Opera
tors Association, composed OF
companies operating in South
eastern Kentucky and Eastern
Tennessee, has signed a wage

| permanent board of arbitration
for mines in Southeastern Ken
tucky and Eastern Tennessee.
| The rules and working conditi-
{ tions are set forth in the agree
ment, and the scale of wages,
as modified, is:
A. That the various min
| ing rates in effect November
80, 1921, at the respective

B. That the yardage, dead

in effect November so, 1921,

c. That the charge of S1.00
