ADOPT Plan
FOR control.
OF RAIL coal.
Operators from Six States
Agree With HOover's
Plan to Maintain Prices
And Distribute Coal.

Washington, July 24.--Opera-
tors from the producing districts
of six states In conference today
with Secretary Hoover agreed in
principle with the administra-
tion's plan for maintaining prices
and insuring fuel distribution
during the strike emergency.
The operators, it was stated aft
er the conference this morning,
had agreed to the general propos4
ais as outlined by Secretary
Hoover, subject to the approval
of their respective districts, but
had raised some objections to the
legal features of the scheme. The
legal phases were given the APP
proval of the department of JUS
tice in an opinion sent to Secre-
tary Hoover by Attorney General
Daugherty, while the conference
was in session.
Emergency Control.
Efforts of the drafting commit
tee, 1t was learned, were to be
aimed at framing a scheme for
emergency coal control which
would not run counter to the law
relating to monopolies and con
spiracies in restraint Of trade.
Non-union operators attending
the conference were inclined Il
| attach only one condition to theil
agreement to maintain the fail
prices previously fixed and that ;
requirement that the governmen
use every effort to get them rail
road service. 1t is conceded tina
THE price scales set offer reason
able profits to all of the producerI
in the non-union districts even
though some buyers under the
pressure Of imminent shortage
have been bidding up the market
levels and urging upon the pro
ducers cash offers far above rne
Hoover scales.
The producers asserted that II
their mines could not be kept in
operation. however, because Of the
railroads in the non-union ais
tricts where the railroad strike
has been aimed at coal production
were unable to keep trains NOV
ing. allowing shutdowns and re-
sumptions will increase the costs
Iof their operations, destroy the
morale Of their mining forces and
make it necessary for them to sell
their coal at a higher figure than
the level now voluntarily fixed.
Chicago, July 24.-(By Assocf-
ated Press. l-The railroad strike

The last announcement OF the

The glory of it is a common possession and is Of

Z am deeply interested in gathering the fruits
OF this victory, as justice and peace for every
where but have little interest in distributions of
individual praise blame. Upon comment pure

Ii was this same spirit which enabled Mr.. Baker
20 win everlasting respect and friendship Of such
men as General Perzhing who the first to resent
the slur upon his CHIEF
Il was that same spirit which he breathsd into the
selecve service law which enabled this government
for the FIRST tmc 20 raise a gigantic army without
suspicion OF favoritism of politics.

against any malicious. biased propaganda now be-
ing circulated this country by British sources as

SCIENTIFIC CRIME.

The latest tools of criminals displayed in New
York at the international conference Of police.
Detectives seem most interested in apparatus used
by rope workers" With the skill Of human flies"
llis breed of crooks get on a roof and climb down
as many as Il stories to commit robbery using
My their muscles and a clothesline
Burglars now have fad of carrying their tools
violin and banjo cases.
Electricity IS being used widely by yeggmen.
Hooking to a light socket they go through a safe
moor with electric drills. IN blowing safe they
even use an electric fuse-exploder
Detective Boylan says the yeggmen never have
perfect the OF acetylene torches for
burning through steel vaults.
All around the scientific" tools Of crime are
appointing to the curious In the main they
crude about the same as a decade ago with moth
ing startling as in master mind" detective fiction.
Each professional criminal the convened police
say has a characteristic style of work peculiar to
himself.
For instance. II a window Is broken noiseessly by
paserns ypaper on it TO prevent the crash of fall
!ng glass the police know instantly that the crook
is one OF score or so who specialize this method.
Further elimination IS easy. for certain crooks
work on'y on Saturday nights, at certain hours OF
only during storms.
Cocaine is the chief tool OF the New York crook,
saws Detective Frank Quisley He explains:
Anybody that goes crooked begins taking it TO
steady his nerves. II shows yellow streak,
his pals make him big sniff OF cocaine before
they viii so out on Job with him. I don't believe
a loft burglary or any other dangerous crime has
been pulled off in New York for years except after
they have doped themselves TO keep their nerves
Crime and the drug traffic so hand-n-hand. To
attack crime at its roots and paralyze its growth
ser{ drug traffic. That IS the way. and police know
IT, but It's easier said than done. The job however
IS Impossible.

WHAT is PLAY?

The mayor OF New York has been asked to set
aside might Of play" annual affair in which
the men and women behind the plan hope that
citizens will forget their troubles and enter into a
carnival spirit
Aside from the fact that the New York idea Of
rlay carries with it the plea to forget the constitu-
ton that of it relating alcoholic liquors,
the scheme is suggestive of great possibilities.
1t might be helpful if it only people to ask
themselves exactly what play is and what things af-
ford them real pleasure in life.
The criticism has often been lodged against this
country that its men have never learned TO play
That is because there is no great enthusiasm for
dressing in clown costumes, throwing confetti and
otherwise reversing the ordinary rules of social in
tercourse as do some of the Latin countries or in
gathering folk dances as is practiced in por-
tlons of central Europe.
What is play and women would be
the hardest kind of work to others.
Last year when President Harding Henry Ford.
Thomas Edison and Henry Firestone went out on
a vacation. they found their great relaxation in
chopring wood
That fun to them, mostly because none OF
them will have to chop wood as a matter Of
necessity If four farmers. part of whose regular
routine is choppng enough wood in the early morn
ing TO cook the family breakfast found time to get
away for week. they would find little pleasure in
tossing over their shoulders.
For any large number of men to dress in yamaya-
clothes and go out into the blowing horns,
TIE shock to their sensbilities would considerably
overbalance any thrill OF excitement they would get
OF the affair.
Play. and work also are purely mental attitudes
The who enjoys his job never looks upon it
as toll The man who seeks relaxation cannot find
it in an organized exhibition that is repugnant to
his end of thought
A better suggestion for New York might be the
Introduction of night when its citizens would
cast aside the standards for by Broadway and
really enjoy itself by staying at home and discover
ing the possibilities OF comfort in that direction
That would probably be real play to a lot Of peo-
pc who now. a matter of habit, hunt pleasure
in just the way that thousands of others do and
who never really have an honest to goodness good
time.

MORAL RECOGNITION.

The service men are given recognition OF their mo-
raj claim for a financial adjustment Of the compen-
sation paid them during the war
That seems 70 be about the best they will get now
that both houses Of Congress have passed a bonus
measure. Emitting the obligation OF the nation TO
Try to make some equitable adjustment between
those who we're called upon to enter the army and
those who were left TO rear high wages and huge
profits because of their absence from industry.
The bin IS now in the hands of President Hard
ing whether he vetoes fl or not matters little for
the MEASURE is Dapably weak and gives so little
immediate relief to the men who may need the
money, that its defeat final adoption law
is unimportant.
The president plainly warned Congress that ne
would veto any measure which did not carry with
provision for raising the funds with which
the compensation is to be paid
The bill as finally passed contains no such pro-
vision the frantic effort Of the senate to approrr-
axe the interest from foreign debts that purpose
having been finally eliminated
AT 10 time did either branch Of Congress have
The courage follow the suggestion OF the presi-
dent that sales tax be adopted as the method Of
paying this obligation That plan of taxation Will
5e adopted at some future date for all taxes and the
present cumbersome and ineffective method be
abolished FOR this direct tax
In the end the consumer pays all the tax any
way and the sooner this is recognized and the tax
machinery adjusted to an easy instead intri-
cate and hidden system, the better.
The ore good provision Of providing s35O,OOoOoO
for reclamation of lands TO be offered service men
as choice was also eliminated. It would have add
81 10 the national wealth and would have been
real payment to those service men who selected
these reclaimed farms as their form Of payment.
