SENATOR URGES REGULATION OF
 COAL INDUSTRY
Kenyon Proposes Establish ment of Federal Tribu- nal Similar to Rail-
 way Board
By Associated Press

Washington, January 2I.-A gov ernment tribunal for regulation of the coal industry under statutory code of industrial law enforced only by power of public opinion, was -recom- nended in report presented to the Senate today by Chairman Kenyon of tre labor committee, which recently investigated disorders in the West Virginia Kentucky coal fields.
 The report held that both the coal operators and miners were responsi- ble for the recent fatal conflicts and property destruction in West Virginia and said mutual concessions by the coal operators and United. Mine wok- CTS would have to be made to end the conflict.
 "The issue is perfectly plain."' said Senator Kenyon's report. The oper- ators in this particular section of West Virginia openly announce that they will not employ men belonging
The Birmingham age-herald., 1922-01-28

to the unions, and further that they have the right and will exercise it, if they desire, to discharge n man if he belongs to the union On the other hand the United Mine Workers are determined to unionize these fields, which are practically the only large and important coal fields in the United States not unionizeda
 Personal Suggestion
 The proposal for federal coal tribunal and code of laws applying both to operators and miners was his personal suggestion, Senator Kenyon said Other members of the investi- gaang committee did not sign the re- port and are at liberty to submit in- dividuaf reports.
 The proposed government coal board would be organized under Sem ator Kenyon's suggestion, like the railway labor board. with three rep resentatiyes each of the employees, the employers and the public appointed by the President. The industrial code wouldsbe enacted by Congress and its principle interpreted by the board
 Will Introduce BiIl
 Senator Kenyon announced that later he would introduce a bill GOV ering his plan for the coal board and ''code.'
 Senator Kenyon's code among other things would affirm the right of col lective bargaining through represen- tatives of the employers and emploves own choosing; would recognize the right of both to organize; would af- firm the right of women to engage in industrial occupations at rates Of pay equal to those of male workers. would fix six days at eight hours day as weeks standard: would pro- vide for punitive overtime for excess hours.
 Human standards should be the eonstrsining influence in the fixing of wages" the code declared.

VACCINATION IN
 SELMA IS URGED
Prevalence of Smallpox Leads to Establishment of Free
 Service to Indigent

Selma, January 27-(specialo- Prevalence of small pox among the colorsd population of Selma has led to the establishment of free vacci- nation for all indigent cases at the county health office on Water avenue and the request that all children of school age, both white and colored. submit to vaccination as prevents tive measure. Establishment of com pulsory vaccination, 1t Is said, has failed to accomplish desired results in view of the fact that there are a great many cases that are being hid den from the authorities. and which are never located by reason of the failure of tho patient to report the case. Dr. L, T. Lee. county health of- ficer. stated today that there was ap- parently no cause for alarm over the situation. but that in view of the fact as stated above. and in view also or the fact that the compulsory vaccina- ton law was not being carried out as 1t should that he has received the following telegram from State Health Officer s. W. Welch in reply to his query of today which is self-explana- tory:

safer INVENTOR
OF AUTO SIGNAL;
USE SEMAPHORES

c. l.. Safer, local insurance
agent, and his brother, G. Z. Safer,
a partner in the business, have tax
en- a tip from the many auto sig
nal devices now on the market AMI
have invented what their friends
says is the best they have seen. The
Sater's office is in room PIP Peo-
pies National Bank building.
The device is mounted on the
rear left fender of the car and the
inventors have been exhibiting the
first model this way the last sew
cral days. By simple controls
from the steering wheel and foot
pedals four, little semaphore arms
come inc view and as each is rails
ed an individual electric light
flashes upon it. The four arms,
which are about four inches long,
are painted red and in letter
ing are the words, stop" right"
left" and back"
1t is compact; the device at the
rear is only about eight inches in
height and bluntly pyramidal, four
inches square at the base. 1t is
economical to operate; with all
four divisions working at once it
consumes only about as much cleo
tricity as do the DINNERS on
small car. 1t is simply attached
and operated. Two little push but
tons for right and left" turning
are on the steering wheel and the
back" and stop" signals operate
automatically from the brake and
reverse gear. Its advantage is that
it is visible day or night and gives
tho driver behind absolute knowl-
edge as to what the driver oper-
ating the car with this device is
going to do. The patent has been
applied for.
Mr., Safer was formerly a ma
chinist and mechanic A system of
small electro-mag nets onerate the
four little signal arms, which drop
on roller bearings out of sight
when not in use. He believes it
can be nut on the market for a re
tail price, installed, of from $40 to
SIS.
