FROM RAILROADS
Board of Works Seeks Back
Pay on Electric Crossing

Why?

Well, that question was not to be
answered off-hand But tho fact that
it was so had made Antony interested
in her. BY sheer luck, as it seemed
to him, he mad stumbled on the an
swer to his question.
Miss Norris was hurried away be-
cause she knew about the secret pas
sage
The passage, then, had something
to do with the mystery Of Robert 8
death. Miss Norris had used 1t in
order to bring off her dramatic ap-
pearance as the ghost. Possibly she
had discovered 1t for herself possibly
Mark had revealed it to her secretly
one day, never guessing that she
would make so unkind use of it
later on; possibly Cayley, having been
let into the joke Of the dressing-up,
had shown her how she could make
her appearance on the bowling green

about the secret passage. So she

Airplane to Locate
AlaSka'S Lost Lakes

Locating and photographic I'M
known lakes in the National Forests
of Alaska are among the latest uses
to which the airplane is being put,
says the Forest Service, United
States Department of Agriculture.
1t has long been known that there
are many lakes on the headlands
and islands along the inside passage
between Seattle and Skagway that
do not appear on any map. During
the New York-Nome flight made by
army aviators in 1920, lakes were
frequently sighted which could not
be found on the latest and most au-
thentic maps of the territory. Less
than a year ago a lake four and one
half miles long and one-half mile
wide was discovered at the head of
Short bay.
Recognizing that some of these
lakes may be sources of valuable
water power, the forest service has
laid plans to map this no mans land
of the north by means of aerial pho
tographs. A few days flight, it is
said, will be sufficient to cover the
area with a degree of accuracy that
would require many years and great
expense to accomplish by ordinary
methods.
The work. which has been approx
ed by the Federal power commission
will be done by seaplane, flying from
Ketchikan as base.

$4,000 Miners on Strike

Washington, July 29.-Following a
survey of the coal industry, the de-
partment of labor announces that
there are $4,000 miners on strike
and 1876, 900 miners at work. Listed
with the latter are 10000 union
pump men and firemen who have re-
manned at work to keep the prop
critics from being destroyed by wa
ter flooding the mines.
A significant part of the report Is
the statement that of $4,000 Kansas
miners, but 1000 ore working. This
is the state, it will be remembered,
that prevents strikes by law. Colo
RADIO. also, has a law which outlaws
strikes under certain conditions, but
only 1000 of the 10000 miners be-
fore the strike was called are work
ing.
Characterization Pennsylvania re-
ports that not man of the $4,000
anthracite miners are working, and
but 10000 of the $4,000 bituminous
men are working.
Despite the terroristic policy of
West Virginia coal owners, and the
aid given them by the state, there
are 10000 of the 10000 coal miners
on strike.
The states that report a 100 per
cent strike are: Illinois, 10000 out;
Ohio, $4,000 out; Indiana, 10000 out;
Iowa, $4,000 out: Montana, 5000 out;
Michigan, 5000 out.
Wyoming reports 1000 on strike
while 5000 were employed before the
strike. The same situation is report
ed by Virginia, Arkansas, New Mex
leo, Oklahoma and several other
states.

THE STRIKE AND THE COUNTRY

ference went, an injunction stopped

it is before him in reports
And vet the owners of the mines
do not get all this excessive profit
The owners and miners produce TOO.
100000 tons of coal annually in g
country needing only 500,0OO,O 600
tons. Fully 40 per cent of the Goa
mines are not needed. But they are
all working. And the anxiety OF
mine owners to sell their coal is as
great as the anxiety Of consumers
to get their winters supply. What
is the explanation of this strange
state of affairs? The Man Between
the Broker, the Coal Speculator-he
is the explanation. 1t is the old story
which Dearborn Independent readers
know very well by this time: the
breed of those who wedge themselves
between the producer and the con-
sumner, to make them both enemies
start them both fighting, and reap
shameful profits from the struggle
That is the heart of the coal strike.
And the president knows this, too!
There is a philosophic view of all
this chaos which is difficult to take
when one considers the mental dis
tress of the country and the colossal
stupidity which causes it: yet the
true American, retiring from the
heat and anxiety of the present
tumble of things, must reflect that
perhaps all these things must come,
and must grow increasingly worse,
until the blindness of our people be
broken through and until they see
that they are not the helpless vic
tins of universal law, but the sport
of greedy men. These thoughts have
been hushed of recent years because
some have denounced them as bear
ing kinship to the "reds." Let all
those who think to shelter greed be-
hind the plea of loyalty, let all those
who would cloak commercial sin in
patriotic pleas, learn this, and learn
it well: when the overturn comes
which shall straighten up our coun-
try, and drive forth from its bounds
all things that corrupt and strangle
it, it will not come from the "reds."
The "reds' never yet destroyed an
evil, they have only increased the
tale of evil. But when the overturn.
ing comes it will be due to the awek-
ening of a Christian conscience in
our people, Christian conscience
and nothing else, a conscience that
will refuse to be the beneficiary Of
blood and tears wrung out of any
race of men. That conscience has
awakened before with swift and final
judgment upon entrenched wrongs
and bitterness; it will come again.
Today it is the main hope of the
nation.
