Idle Impressions and recollections Of
a Washingtonian who returned a day
or two ago from q 5.000-mile auto
mobile tour through the middle west
and eastern states.
In very truth, during the summer
| which has Just drawn to q close. the
| world and his wife. not to count the
| children, has been on wheels. The ma
tional parks in the west have been
| the camping grounds for thousands
] Of families who have been able TO
enjoy the beauties OF nature from
| their own automobiles far better than
they could in any other way. but
| one does not need to consider the
west when it comes to touring. for
1t would seem as though every
pleasure car from Maine to California
| has been put to use this summer for
campers and tourists.
From Potomac Park to the Golden
! Gate Park In San Francisco the high.
| ways have been literally crowded
with happy tourists. and yet the
summer was not altogether the
best imaginable in the matter OF
season rain seemed to fall as 1t never
fell before. The said Washingtonian
| on eight successive days ran into
heavy downpours that amounted to
clOudbursts. Several times refuge
was sought in friendly farm houses.
but 1t must have left the tents and
camp grounds damp. to say the least.
Many On Camping Trips.
Touring has not been confined to
from the city, for 1t would seem that
almost every farmer in the land now
owns a car and could take q few days
OF for a trip with his family, II only
for week ends.
Certainly this has been a summer
trying to see their country with as
little expense and as much comfort
as possible. Many of the largest and
most expensive hotels, certainly IN
New England, reported a rather dry
season in more senses than one.
During the early part OF July q
Washingtonian traveller who stopped
for lunch at one of the most popular
and expensive hotels in the White
mountains noticed that a splendid
| orchestra of eight pieces was playing
to an audience OF six, and there were
room of the hotel, which readily can
accommodate 500. True. this was
early in the season. but later on.

PROPOSED MERGER
OF ALA. PROPERTIES
OFF FOR PRESENT

The proposed merger of the Ala
bama company and other Alabama
furnace and mining properties, which
came to head yesterday, with the
expiration of the option on the Ala
bama company properties, fell
through for the present at least, &C
cording to a dispatch from Baltimore,
quoting e. N. Rich, president of the
Alabama company.
The bankers who were asked to
finance the deal are understood to
have been unwilling to advance the
amount of cash money demanded by
the Alabama interests. Mr.. Rich inti-
mated that new proposal might be
made.
In a general way the new proposal
to be made is such as he would advise
stockholders to accept, he said, but as
he had authority to grant an extern
sion of the option already given on
the eompany's physical properties at
$6,250,000 these options expire by
limitation today. The option called
for payment of the entire sum in cash
but the promoters and bankers at the
conference proposed that the stock
holders accept part of the purchase
price in stocks and securities of the
new corporation to be formed to take
over the property and other proper
ties which are to be consolidated
with II.
Some representatives of other COM
panies were in favor of accepting the
revised proposition but one company
stood out for cash and as none had
authority to extend the option given
nothing could be settled finally.

AS SEEN BY
SCOGGINS
THE NAIL MAN

HoME-RUN HANK
Hank Hunk
Was but a village lout
Whose every day was Sunday.
And whose every Sunday
Was day of rest.
He was very careful man,
Made few mistakes,
Because he was twin brother to
A feather bed;
Therefore he spent his early life
In sweet repose.
A mighty man OF beef and bono,
Which bone extended to his head
therefore he carried all his days
This tag-A Ounce.
But fame, the coy and tickle jade,
Was reckoning.
The home town Reds were billed te
play
The Tigers OF a rival town
The seasons final game of ball.
This game would tell the glory tale
OF those selected champions
OF Hinkydinky county.
The game was called and reuben,
came
From near and far,
And gathered In the old town lot
AH@AA Shih BOdlceS Ill keeping tlme
To busy jaws all munching peanuts
And on that magic day Hank Hunk
Was named as water boy to lug
The water from a nearby ditch
To thirsty players
Who steamed and grunted In the sun
To gain advantage.
The final inning rolled around,
The score was 4s apiece,
And Babe Ruth Jones, the local swa,
Had tainted in the batter's box
And all was CONSERVATION.
When up stepped Hank, amid the
jeers
or village yokels
And knocked the ball out past the
city limits
And saved the game. and gained the
name OF
Home-run Hank.
And in the years that Elected by,
Hank rested on his laureis;
No more the clown, he wore his
crown
With growing satisfaction.
And strangers there within the gates
OF Hinkydinky county
All shook the hand of Home-run
Hank;
And long he lived and died content
And all through life I've noted that
Full many men in life's parade
March up in front, and strut and
smile,
Because Fate played joke one day
Then winking went upon its way;
They're Home-run Hanks.

COAL OPERATORS
BLAME UNION FOR
LABOR TROUBLES
CONTINUED From Page one)

Individual mines by reason of local
causes the letter said. They are al
ways an economic loss. They are
usually a breach OF contract on the
part of the miners.
There can be no doubt that the
Fundamental cause of such local
strikes, as well as strikes of a ma
ton wide character like those OF
1919 and 1922, is the despotic control
of approximately so per cent of the
mine labor Of the United States and
Canada by a single organization. with
power to stop at will, the production
and movement in intrastate COM
merce CT approximately 90 per cent
of the normal coal output of the
country. In the opinion of this COM
mittee the continuation, to say moth
ing of the further extension CT the
autocratic power of the United Mine
Workers of America. would be calam
itous to the general welfare of the
country
Living Costs Differ
Wages cannot be standardized, the
operators contended, in answering
another specific question, because of
variance in living costs and condi-
tions. Further, a suggestion from
the commission that over-produc-
ton in coal mines might be met by
closing down nom economic mines,
under statutory authority to be here
after created, was strongly attacked
I'VE know of no way in which any
mine may be closed down contrary
to the wish of the owner. except the
operation of econimic law" the OPP
orators declared.
THE closing down of so-called ex-
ceSSive cost mines. we suggest will
be effectually accomplished by COM
petition whenever the play of COM
petitive forces is free from the in
terruption caused by strikes with
their resulting panic among buyers
and runaway markets"
The letter declared the following
points were basic:
First. That every man has a right
to work without either interference
or compulsion when, for whom and
upon such terms as he may see fit
Second. That while the right of
workers to organize for legitimate
purposes cannot be denied. such or
ganizations have no right to impede
or restrain those who do not care to
join or deal with them.
Third. That the right of private
property is, and must remain in
violable.
Fourth. That in the last resolve.
the law of supply and demand always
has and always will determine prices,
that no legislation can long interfere
with this memorable rule; that any
interference can only be Justified II
at all, in time of war, and that at
any time. it will inevitably produce
greater evils than those which it
seeks to suppress

MARGARET ANGLIN

WOMAN OF BRONZE

| Margaret Anglin surpa ssed the ma
terial in THE Woman of Bronze"
at the Jefferson theatre Thursday
night. The play, triangle of more
or less ordinary type was somewhat
trite. except for the outstanding
character of Vivian Hunt, played by
Miss Angln. Its chief charm was it's
ending, which, although displeasing

with it's principal role.
Miss Anglin had the support of a
meritorious company. Often she re-

Her quick change of expression and

Catty women, and men, of their set

test for 100000 for piece of sculp-

came the basis for the title of the
play.
1t was really a play about a strong
woman. Perhaps she was not diplo-
matte, but she had an unusual grace
in adhering to a determined policy.
No peace was made with the erring
husband in the entire three acts. Per-
