two men who go out in the world. one
becoming a pessimist and the other an
optimist.
They live on the same street." he
said. "and come in touch with the same
set of facts. One is like Peter: he looks
down and finds that things look dis

other sees the same things in larger
relationship.
'The pessimist looks just at the hard
cold facts, but the optiuist sees the face
of God back Of the facts.

is to take a telescope view. Men ant

against revival Of the joint conference

Central Connective Field was sent to-
day to James J. Davis. Secretary Of

Mr.. Shillingford declares that the

fields. which produce more coal than the
Central Competitive Field. to submit
to wage scales and rules that interfere
with efficiency and result in inflated
costs and unrcliability Of service

scale. Mr.. Shlllingford says. and asks
the Federal Administration not to COM
plicate further the situation and han
dicap the efforts cf responsible operators
to deal with their employees in fairness.

Workers of America here believed that
nine tenths or more of the workers
cast their ballots for walkout on
April | unless n now wage agreement
is made in the meantime.
Chances of getting n wage conference
with the operators Of the central COM
petitivc field. comprising Western
Pennsylvania. Ohio. Indiana and 1lli-
nois. seemed remote to the union
chiefs for no change in the attitude Of
operators opposing an interstate con.
ference resulted from the appeal Of
James J. Davis. Secretary Of Labor,
for the two sides getting together.
What may happen In the Pennsylva-
MIA anthracite field depends on the out
come of the meeting between union Off
cials and operators in New York next
Wednesday. To the extent only oil
having arranged for joint conference
is the strike situation in the soft and
hard coal fields different. though no ref
ercndum vote was cast by the anthra-
cite miners.
