Spect for Newell S. Greenaway, who
has been a member of the board of
directors ever since the Association
was organized in Alexandria. Mr.
Greenaway was chairman of the rel-
gious work committee and under his
Craftsmanship the series of mems meet
ings were held at the Richmond
Theatre.
This series of meetings was the
most remarkable ever held in the city

Holy Week at st. Paul's

A novel feature of the observance
of HOLY Week next week. at st.
Paul's Episcopal Church will be
series of five classes in the "Prac-
flee of the Presence of God" daily a;
10 4. m, conducted by Mrs. Ethel
f. Patterson, Of Los Angeles Mrs.
Patterson conducted four classes
daily for one week in four Episcopal
Churches in Washington, about
wear ago. and she devotes herself to
this work throughout the country.
Thousands of people have heard her
with pleasure and profit. She IS
pleasing in appearance, refined in
manner, highly gifted and educated,
and truly spiritual.
She says. I'VE are producing
Christian activities faster than we
are producing the Christian faith and
experience to meet them The dis
ciplining of our souls and the deep
ening Of our acquaintance with God
are not proving sufficiently thorough
TO meet he unprecedented demands
of our day and age The realized
loving presence of God with US and
in us. is a most comforting and in
spring truth. To help US to apply il,
Mrs. Patterson proposes a simple
method of making a definite act of
recognition of God whenever the
clock strikes, and Of keeping a rec.
ord of ones success or failure in
doing this. On rising one should
observe "The Masters Watch" of
Is minutes, according to somewhat
definite rules One hindrance is
"sensitiveness," another, indiffer-
ence to our ueighbor; another, re-
sentiment In silence, God comes to
US; and everything We say should
pass through one of the "Three
Gates of Speech" l, Is it true? Is
it useful? g. Is it kind? The rector
of st. Pauls invites and urges
Christians of every name to profit
by the opportunity to attend as
many of the meetings as possible
Mrs. Patterson has been working
hard in New York and Philadelphia
and will hold these meetings during
brief vacation in Washington, or

COAL OPERATOR
ISBLAMEDF FOR
HIGH PRICES
Lewis Tells House Commit
tee Owner and Dealer
Are Responsible
READY FOR TALK
Will Join Conference at Any Time
Union Chief Says-Tieup Is Really
4 Lockout

Washington, April 3.-An array Of
figures and quotations, to convince the
public that not the miners but the OPP
orators and dealers were responsible
for the high cost of coal during the
last few years, was offered yesterday
by John l.. Lewis, president of the
United Mine Workers OF America, in
closing his formal statement to the
House Committee on Labor.
Mr.. Lewis coupled with that the
statement that in the last year, when
industry and trade were stagnant IN
all lines and thousands Of miners were
out of work for months, coal compa-
MES We're able to pay dividends. He
said that although the financial man
ualS for 1921 are not available slgnl-
ficiant statements have appeared as
to a number of important companies.
He cited the following:
Consolidation Coal Company paid
6 per cent; Pennsylvania Coal and
Coke Corporation. Gl2 per cent;
Chnchfield Coal Corporation, i per
cent on common and 3 per cent on
preferred. He added that apparently
authoritive statements showed the
Pittsburg Coal Company earned in
the first nine months of last year 3d.
600, 900 met before taxes" as against
dividend requirements of $3,6OO,OUU
for II months.
Before making his argument on the
long-controverted question as to who
is responsible for the high cost Of
coal, Mr.. Lewis made the following
points.
That the United Mine Workers fav-
or naturalization because they have
become convinced that the operators
will not reform the industry, which he
says is admittedly diseased.
That in the immediate situation, the
miners are ready at any time TO 90
into wage conferences with the opcr-
ators, but are opposed to the Govern
ment taking part because officials us
ually lack understanding of all quest
ions involved.
That the present strike is in fact a
lockout in both soft and hard coal
fields, and in the soft coal fields the
operators broke their pledge to enter
u wage conference, and have admitted
the violation.
