CAMP BOYS TO HAVE
BEST POSSIBLE CARE,
SAYS PERRY WILSON

In an effort 20 prevent further hesi-
ers to send their sons to Camp Ki-Ro
for a period this summer, Perry Viii
son, director Of Camp Ki-Ro, has writ
ten the following statement which he
hopes will tend to establish firm con-
fidence in the minds of the parents
about the safety Of the camp. The
letter follows:
"A number of fathers and mothers
in the city of Richmond are undecided
about sending their boys to Camp XII
Ro this, the first summer of the camp.
These parents seem to think the camp
is just a trial and that if the camp
goes good this year, then they will
send their boy next year. Others
think that If it was not for the fact
that there will be swimming for the
boys, it would be different and still
others are, undecided because they
doubt the sanitary conditions.
For the benefit of these fathers
and mothers of the city l wish to en-
tighten them on some of these ques-
| tons as TO camp management.
Boys Need Supervision
First let me say, the summer time
Is period of morale deterioration of
most boys. Most of the boys in the
city will be better off in a boys camp
as it is managed than they will be
running the streets with the gang
that they are with, going swimming in
gravel pits and the river without super
vision, working off their surplus en-
ergy any way they can, their play life
not directed
The camp program of Camp Ki-Ro
will be rigidly adhered to. Swimming
will be supervised, no boy allowed in
the water only at the swimming hour
Mr.. Peters, Y. NJ. c. A. physical di-
rector. will be in charge of the boys,
| together with the camp leaders Mr.
| Peters is an expert swimmer, and is
/ now teaching at the Geneva summer
i school The camp leaders are all good
swimmers, and they will see that no
/ boy will be allowed to go to the deep
water until he knows how to swim.
Will Teach Swimming
Swimming lessons will be given
each day by Mr. Peters as a part OF
the camp program. The water is very
clean and the bottom OF the river is
nice clean. sand. First aid and life
saving will be taught in the camp
1--WE shall strive to make a camp g
time of physical, social, moral and re
hgious improvement for the boys L
is earnestly desired that parents whit
are in doubt as to whether they should
send their boys to camp this year
will get in touch with the Y. NJ. c. A
officials and let them explain tht
camp system. We feel sure that i
parents knew the value and the wa.
the camp is managed, and also thu
benefit the boy will derive from tn.
camp, there will be no hesitancy OF
the part of the parents in sending tht
boys TO camp this year"

WASHINGTON, July 11-Leaders
of the mine workers and operators of
anthracite and bituminous mines. who
are considering President Harding's
offer of arbitration as the government
solution of the suspension of opera
tions in the union coal fields, were
still in the throeS of indecision today
over the question of acceptance or re-
fusal, but semi-official reports said the
government expected to receive an an
swer by Saturday.
Representatives of non-union coal
operators will be called together the
end of this week to consider means
of dealing with smaller operators who
are selling coal at prices in advance
of the maximums recently reached
by voluntary agreement, Secretary
Hoover said today.
The miners representatives were
delaying definite reply to the proposal
until a decision is reached by the gen.
eral policy committee of the United
Mine Workers of America summoned
to meet here Saturday while the op-
orators group also withheld reply
pending opportunity for deliberate dis
cussion of the plan with their asso-
ciates.
Proposes Commission
Presented after an apparent dead
lock had been reached in both the
bituminous and anthracite sections Of
the general conference here, President
Harding's plan proposes that a COM
mission of five representatives Of the
public and three each of the miners
and operators should fix before Aug 10
a new wage scale to be held in effect
until March 1, 1928.
The commission would be author
ized to continue the old wage scale
beyond Aug. 10, If the new scale was
not agreed upon by that date. The
president further proposed that the
commission should investigate ex-
haustively every phase Of the coal in.

its various problems.
After discussing the proposal with
/ his associates yesterday, Alfred M
Ogle, chairman of the bituminous
operators group, indicated that they
considered a plan for arbitration by
districts offered by them last week as
the best and fairest way" to settle
/ the controversy. John L. Lewis, presi
dent Of the union, however, classed
this ''as obsolete in the light of the
presidents proposals" The anthra
cite operators maintained silence or
the proposal although they have before
rendered arbitration at the hands oi
the president.
Urge Several Boards.
Mr.. Ogle declared he considered Il
utterly impossible for one board tc
deal comprehensively with condition:
over the vast area of the nations bi
tumanious coal fields and to make 6
wage scale in a reasonable time.
! That was why he said the operator!
