WAGE CUTS AT AN END
Miners Leader Says Anthra-

Irresistible Force.

CLEVELAND, Aug. Is (Associated
Press) Before leaving for Philadel-
phia tonight to take part in the an
thracite negotiations there tomorrow,
John l.. Lewis, president of the United
Mine Workers of America, announced
that additional agreements amounting
to approximately 100000 tons an
nual soft coal production were exc
cuted here to-day in the settlement, in
part, of the bituminous coal strike.
Acceptance of tho approximately
60, 600. 900 tons annual production rep
resented in the conference of miners
and operators yesterday and the exc
cution of additional agreements to-day
involving something more than TO-
100000 tons production gives the set
tlement impetus that will be irresist-
ible," Mr. Lewis said. He predicted
acceptance Of agreements by virtually
all operating units in the organized
sections Of the bituminous industry
would be in effect within a short time.
This constitutes an object lesson that
will be especially helpful in adjusting
the strike in the anthracite fields" he
added He said that the miners have
won the three principal issues involved
in the strike of $4,000 miners in the
anthracite and bituminous mining in
dustry"

USING ELECTRIC POWER

That this is an age of electric power and
electric power possesses the quality Of
transmission peculiarly fitting It for cover
ing vast fields Of service is forcibly
demonstrated in the plan of the in
terests supplying power to $50 cities in
Minnesota, the Dakotas, Wisconsin, Illinois
and Iowa. Eighty million dollars will be
spent In constructing new generating plants
and transmission lines, the work of installa-
ton to cover period of ten years. There
will be a large development Of water power
and there will also be auxiliary steam gener-
ating plants on river banks A water power
system is not complete without its steam
power adjunct, and that is where Alabama is
peculiarly blessed, in that it has sites for
steam generating plants at the mouth of
coal seams, which means generating fuel at
the lowest cost. There will be more and
more electric power used in the country and
less and less of the laborious and grimy con-
sumption of coal in industrial plants and in
homes. The benefit to the human race will
be far-reaching.

TEACHING NEGRO FARMERS

One indisputably sound plan for keeping
southern negroes in the south is to advance
their agricultural holdings and their knowl-
edge of good farming methods. Sixteen
years ago, the United States department of
agriculture reports, the first negro agricul-
tural demonstration agent was employed to
carry on extension work among negroes.
Now there are 2s5 negro men and women
agents, under whose direction more than
$4,000 negro farmers and their families are
following approved practices in farming and
homo making. Nothing comes nearer attach
ing person to his home, be he black or
white, than the consciousness that he is doing
we'll where he is and that no other locality
holds out prospect of improving his condi-
ton.
The better class Of negroes will remain
in the south because they fare well here.
The problem is to increase the number OF
self-respecting negroes who are able to earn
comfortable 'livelihoods and acquire prop
erty. There is no greater field for the sue
cessful working out of this problem than in
agriculture, and the negro agricultural dem
onstration agents are performing useful
service to the south.

ern states and trans-Mississippi territory.
Mobile will make an admirable center for
that distribution, as it is making one for the
distribution of Pacific coast products brought
in return cargoes Of steamers that have car
ried Alabama iron and steel products to the
west coast. Arrangement has been made
for the regular shipment through Mobile
during 1923 of German kainit, and it is also
to be port of entry for potash from
France.
In one way and another the port is grow
ing in prestige, in actual volume of business
done and in new and important export and
import accessions. The Port Of Mobile pre-
sents an economy to Alabamians, both in in
coming and outgoing traffic, by reducing
the cost Of shipping surplus products to the
outside world and decreasing the cost of
bringing into Alabama products industry

Ismet Pashas note asserted that the Turkish
nation had decided ito employ to the last linn
it of its forces all means to obtain the return
of Mosul to the motherland." The important
questions of Dardanelles control, capitula-

still far from settlement. All in all, the
Lausanne conference seems to be running
true to form. The average European con-
ference does not get anywhere.

AN AUTHORITY ON LAW

Hannis Taylor enjoyed deserved repu-
tation as an authority on international law.
During his long and useful career he wrote
unanimously, and with great ability, on
legal subjects. One of his best known works
is "The Origin and Growth of the British
Constitution which is standard textbook
in universities. In spite of the fact that it
may appear at first glance somewhat dit
ficult for the average reader, it is fasci-
mating book for the student and has addi-
tional interest because, in his profound study
of the development of British law, DR.. Tay-
lor reveals the sources of much of the Or
ganic law Of the United States. His "Origin
and Growth of the American Constitution"
published in 1916, is companion work to
his previous history. Both contain informa-
tion that is valuable and instructive to
anyone who is interested in tracing the de-
velopment of legal system that is he FUN
dation Of Anglo-Saxon institutions.

BULGARIA GETS TO WORK

From the Kansas City Star.
When the present government took charge
of Bulgaria after the disaster of the war
it determined on certain innovations. The
chief was the substitution of compulsory in
dustrial service for compulsory military
service. It's prime minister, Stamboulisky,
insisted that the burden of militarism was
crushing on poor country. Bulgaria, he
said, would be better able to defend itself
If it husbanded its resources, did not waste
them on huge standing army, and pushed
its economic development.
The correspondent for a Rome news
paper gives an account of the workings of
the new plan. The article is translated In
the Living Age. All over the country he
found groups of men working in the fields,
on roads, and on railroads. The compul-
sorry service is for eight months of the first
year and for twenty days year thereafter.
These later periods of service may be
avoided on payment of a fee. Bulgaria is
predominantly an agricultural country, and
the system is readily adaptable for the pur-
poses of such country. But the interest
ing point about it is that Bulgaria appear
emily has got down to brass tacks to save
itself. 1t cut off extravagances and prac-
ticed economics. Its experience shows
what nation can do when it really sets out
to make its way without relying on help
from outside.

THE IDEALS OF WILSON

Time and the inevitable course of events
in Europe have indicated Woodrow Wilson,
who sacrificed his health in fighting for rati-
fication of the Versailles treaty and the
covenant Of the League Of Nations. Yester-
day was the sixty-siSth birthday anniversary
Of the former President. Slowly regaining
his health, and with his mental vigor I'M
impaired, Mr.. Wilson now has the satisfac-
tion of seeing those who bitterly opposed
participation by America in European af-
fairs adopting his policies, while there is
growing belief throughout the nation that
the United States cannot prosper and the
task of world-contsruction cannot go for
ward unless America resumes the place Of
moral and economic leadership which she
abandoned when she withdrew from her as
sociates in the World war. The economic
evils which afflict Europe and the United
States, the spectacle of repeated confer
ences abroad coming to naught and the Eu-
ropean nations vainly struggling to restore
order out of chaos are the consequences of
the failure Of the United States Senate to
ratify the Versailles treaty.
At tho end Of the war America stood pre-
eminent among the nations of the world.
Her vast resources and her moral prestige
would have enabled her to play the leading
part in the rehabilitation Of Europe, but the
"irreconcilables" In the United States Sem
ate prevented her from fulfilling the obi
cations to which she was committed. The
policy of isolation enjoyed a temporary
triumph. Distrust succeeded confidence in
Europe. Left to their own devices and feel
ing that their strongest associate was no
longer willing to help or advise, European
nations became hotbed Of intrigue and
dissension. For five years little or no prog
ress has been made toward getting back to
a normal basis. The contention that the
United States was not concerned with af-
fairs in Europe has been disproved by the
facts. Even the "irreconcilables" and the
advocates Of national isolation are begin
ming to see the light. We not only have
duty to perform, for the sake OF humanity
and world peace, but our own national future
is involved The economic blight on Europe
seriously affects the United States. That
is a selfish consideration, but 1t Is having its
effect in converting the advocates Of isola-

of "entangling alliances" harped on by
Senator Lodge and others during the treaty
fight in the Senate, yields to the realization
that America must have world markets for
her surplus products.
The Borah proposal for an economic and
disarmament conference to be called by the
President shows an extraordinary change
of sentiment in the "irreconclable" group.
The Borah proposal may be defeated, but
In opposing it Senator Lodge makes the sig
nificant disclosure that President Harding is
already negotiating for an international
conference on Europe's economic problems
and urges that he be not embarrassed "in
the efforts which is now making, as a matter
of fact" Indirectly, the party In power is
following the course mapped out by Mr..
Wilson.

BANKS OF THE WABASH

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
Paul Dresser, who had the gift of simple
song, is to sleep forever under the syca-
