SAYS OPERATORS TRIED
TO FORCE COAL STRIKE
Miners Official Charges Ef-
forts to Reduce Wages.

John Brophy. president Of District No.
2, United Mine Workers of America. in
a statement issued yesterday at cres-
son, Pa. on the coal strike situation
in the Central Pennsylvania district.
declared that for the last year the
operators have been trying to reduce
the wages of miners. their method be-
ing to induce the miners to modify the
wage agreement by consenting to re-
drction. This, Mr.. Brophy declared.
would be in direct violation of the prac-
tice of collective bargaining in the coal
industry.
IF we had set aside the national
agreement. as certain operators wished
us to do last summer" he said. ''and
cut our district loose from the interna-
tional union, we would have stirred up
trouble in every coal field in the United
States
Mr.. Brophy said that on March 81
the operators posted notices of "a wage
reduction of from SO to "a rer cent. or
tonnage rates, and 40 to 54 per cent. on
day labor. Such reductions, he de-
ciared, are meant for no other purpose
than to provoke a strike. Tho oper-
ators in this field. he said. have flatly
refused to enter a joint conference and
establish basic rates for the industry.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.-The army
gas mask, in its regular form, does not
afford protection against all noxious
gases. The gas mask laboratory of the
United States bureau of mines at Pitts
burgh recently investigated the army
type of mask to determine its fitness for
use in work about smelters, blast furn-
aces or similar Industrial operations. or
possibly in Mines 1t also has tried to
modify the mask for such use.
The investigation developed that this
type. while affOrding protection against
afford protection against all gases met in
against carbon monoxide. the gas hazard
in coal mines, nor against Illuminating
gas, natural gas, ammonia, and the prod
uets of combustion found in burning
buildings
The bureau seeks to develop special
types of masks suitable for different in
duStries, that will serve to protect the
wearer. The bureau has also done work
on UNIVERSAL mask that would serve
TO protect the wearer against all the
gases in air commonly met. A light
weight form of this mask has been de-
veloped for use of city tremen.
The charcoal and soda-lime filled can
listers protect against certain acid gases
and organic vapors. say bureau experts,
but they should not be used in gasoline
vapor, afford no protection against am
monia or the carbon mOnoxide which
may be found in products of combustion
ard in producer gas, coal gas, water gas
and blast furnace gas.

Annual Ride for the
Riddles a Great Ddy

Rotary believes In making others
happy And It knows thero is no
moro sincere happiness than that
shown by a happy youngstcr.
The truth OF this statement Is ap-
parent every year when tho Tulsa
Rotary club furnishes Tulsa Riddles
with an annual automobile ride over
tho city and with It peanuts and
popcorn and bnloons--an' every
thing.
The look Of JOY on tho faces Of
these youngsters is sufficient In IT,
self 10 inspire those who observe IL
with "a greater desire To benefit hu-
manity. Under privileged boys and
girls whose daily life is dun and
prosalc are I'm fairyland for a day.
Under the supervision OF Rotar-
ians they are bundled into waiting
automobiles and taken for ride
mat lasts for two hours and which
| touches every section OF the city As
the cars pass down the street there
Is literal bcdlam OF cheers from
| the passengers all OF whom give
ample evidence OF their enthusiasm
and their lung power.
It's "A great day for tho Riddles.
/ lncy look forward each year with
| hopeful anticipation to tho day
when their big brothers will re-
member them.
The Tulsa club has also taken up
the idea OF furnishing free tickets
to q circus each year. Every grown
up can easily remember tho days Of
his youth when a circus was the
greatest spectacle taht could pos
! sibly come To his home town. with
! fearful regret he watched the other
| Kids work their way into the show
by carrying watcr for the elephant"
but somehow he always lost out on
this job.
How much Joy would have been
buruEht TO his yearning heart had a
group OF big brothers suddenly
come 10 him and handed him
ticket without asking anything IN
turn except his good viii.
That's one reason why Tulsa Ro-
tarians are regarded most with rov-
erence by tho youngsters here. And
a lot OF these boys have declared
with youthful exurberance that
they're going to grow up and be
a Rotarlau."
