Industrial Code to Govern Coal Mining

G ENATOR KENYON'S last act be-
- fore accepting the Presidents nom
lnation as United States Circuit judge
of the Eighth district, was to recon-
mend to the senate federal mediation
board and an industrial code to govern
coal mining. The recommendations
were the result OF the investigation by
the senate committee on education and
labor of trouble between operators and
union miners in West Virginia, which
led to armed outbreaks and bloodshed
last summer and resulted in the calling
out of federal troops.
The mediation board proposed by
Kenyon would be composed of three
representatives of the employees.
three of the employers and three of
the public, all to be appointed by the
President 1t would be operated like
the United States railroad labor
board, no penalties being provided for
violation of its orders.
Among the basic principles which
,houid be established as an indus
rial code for the guidance Of such
board was suggested:
Coal is public utility and in its
reduction and distribution the public
interest is predominant.
The right of operators and min
RS to organize is recognized and
firmed.

desire to enter the regular army.
''These men had the unqualified com
mendation of their military command
ers and were highly indorsed by their
respective denominations. They were
chosen because they were found to
possess that fidelity, poise of mind,
breadth and tolerance of view, seren-

ARMY LEADER SUGGESTS TWO
FUNCTIONS BEFORE
HOUSE.
MUST PRACTICE SAVING
SERVICE AND TRAINING GUARD
AND U. S. RESERVES is
IMPORTANT.
twe.,eru Newspaper Union New. serios.)


washlngton.-A new economic prin-
ciple" to govern peace-time mainten-
ance of all branches of the army reg
ulars, national guard or organized re-
serves, has been laid by General Per-
shing before the House subcommittee
On army appropriations. General Per-
shing's statement did not deal with
specific questions as to the strength
of the regular army during the coming
fiscal year, the officer saying, howev-
er, that sin view of a possible reduc-
duction" in army strength considera-
ton of the development of a national
army from an economical standpoint
became especially important.
The generals statement concluded
the hearings of the committee and 1t
is expected to be prepared to submit
its report in the near future.
After pointing out that the regular
army was relatively small at pres
ent" and limited in numbers first by
the existing army organization act
and later by the appropriations act,
General Persfing said that the follow
ing economic principle might be stated
as to the military organization the
country should maintain:
"In organizing the peace establish
ment no unit should be maintained in
a more expensive category if it can be
safely and advantageously maintaine
in less expensive category, and mob
ilized therefrom in time to meet the
requirements of an emergency"
The officer said that the cost of
each group of the new army was diff
ferent, the regulars being more costly
than the national guard, which in turn
cost more than the organized reserves.
In explanation of this he added that
sit would, of course, be understood
that the regular army organizations
must be maintained for duty in foreign
garrisons, upon the Mexican border
for emergency service at home or ex'
peditionary purposes abroad and fot
all other duties which in the nature of
things could not be performed by the
citizen soldiers"

EORTY per cent of the developed
L water power of the world is In
the United States, where water wheels
having capacity of 9,243,00O horse
power have been installed, according
to recent statement of the United
States geological survey, Department
of the Interior. The leading states in
developed water power are New York,
with 100000 horse power and Call
fornia with ILL, 900. These state totals
compare favorably with those for
some of the most progressive coun-
tries In water-power developments in
Europe, where France leads with 1,4oo-
900 horse power, Norway has 1,35o-
600 horse power, Sweden, 1,2oo'Ooo
horse power and Switzerland 1,o1o,-
900 horse power.

ing carriers already having lent cheer
full aid In avoiding the construction Of
more grade crossings.
Instead of grade crossings there will
be constructed, wherever possible, In
the future either a bridge or an un-
derpAss where roadway and railway
intersect. Important roads, which now
cross and recross railroad lines at
grades, hereafter will be located entire
ly on one side of the railroad, even
though to do so may increase the cost
of construction.
Where crossings are unavoidable, or
where local interests Justify construc-
tion of highways to cross railroad
lines, the road will be so located as to
most instances Of this sort the rail-
roads bear one-half of the cost Of
building the bridge or underpass.
Saving of Human Lives.
The prime object of the depart
ment's policy to eliminate grade cross
ings on federal-aid roads is the saw
ing of human lives. This policy prob
ably will involve increased expense of
construction In the case of some roads,
but it Is believed this is justified by
the saving of life. During the three
years ending with 1920. according to
the best records available at the de-
partment, 1896 lives were lost at
grade crossings In the United States
and 1854 persons were injured.

Polly dear:
You told US last Wednesday after
noon when we were all packing our
travelling bags and getting our clothes
mixed up and having such harem-
scarem time, that you were planning
to spend your Thanksgiving holiday
in "whiz of whirlwind''; you were
first going to smother your family in
kisses and then sing hallelujahs from
the house tops. Were you really so
glad to get home as all that? FL
imagine now that perhaps you are just
as anxious to return to the halls of
Washburn and begin again the work
and to have the joyous times here.
Didn't you have a spiffy time at
the inter-fraternity party Wednesday
night? 1t was the most brilliant party
of the autumn season and a fitting
climax to the end OF the fall festivi-
ties.
