- Rapid Growth of Loafer- Class

T. In the course Of a, recent address
t DR.. Ernest M. Stires, rector of ST.
Thomas church, New orK city, and
one of the most disting uished' 11ninisl
teers Of the Protestant Episcopal com,
munion, expressed the belief that we
needed not more the Am ficahI2a tioh
of aliens than the awakening of natipA
Americans to a sense of their duty
and responsibility as citizens of the
republic and as men among men. ','~ -
/ DR.. Stifes pointed TO she fact: that
Americans Of the most substantial
class and of pioneer stock appear to
be amusement mad, that loaferism is
growing among them from one end
of the country to the other, and the
toll and sacrifice Of the pioneer genera
tions is being succeeded in many quar-
ters BY ftivolity, idleness and a lack of
serious attention to both private and
public duty among the pioneers de-
scendents.

As they parted the crowd and
fashed their flashlights into the

HARDING WILL
TACKLE COAL
+
STRIKE TIEUP
Thinks Rail Strike
Terms Will Speed
3 Peace. i
By DAVID LAWRENCE.

Washington, D. c., July 3l.-The
rail strike settlement first and then
the coal problem-thats President
Harding's course this week. And
he has a feeling that when the
fairness Of the rail strike is dis
closed as the details are revealed
the striking miners and operators
will find themselves compelled by a
powerful public opinion to make
concessions 10 each others view
point and bring peace.
Neither the railroad executives
nor the railway employees will be
able to say that the settlement is
what they would have made it il
left to themselves in prolonged
fight. But the Intervention OF the
president has been ON the theory
that the American people will not
permit the disputants to have a
fight to . finish.
And the same is true Of the coal
controversy. Operators are adam.
ant in their viewpoint, miners
representatives are stubbornly re-
fusing to concede an inch; but they
will both have to change tactics
before the end OF this week wher
they are brought face to face with
the chief executive in the White
house and are asked in the name
of the, American people to accep
. compromise.
Both Sides Adamant.
Neither miners nor operators viii
Voluntarily make concessions. They
will not even give in by process:
of persuasion in conference witt
the peaceful element in their owl
ranks-and both labor and opera
tors respectively are being urget
from within to make settlement
But when the president Of thu
United States takes the initiative
again he is expected this time u
get compliance from both opera
tors and miners. There were many
unfortunate phases to the last ef
fort It peace which emanated from
the White house. For one thing
the operators wanted more time tt
fight-they believed that If the gov
ernment would furnish troops t
protect strike breakers the non
union production would soon reacl
q point where it would scare thu
union men into submission. As fol
