Coal and the Immigrant,

From the New York Erening Post.
The 8 per cent emergency immigra
ton law is factor in the coal strike
whose Importance is not sufficiently rec.
ognized.
For years the coal operators depended
on foreign labor to perform the unskilIed
work necessary in the profitable mining
Of coal. The newcomers would drift into
the mines and remain long enough to
learn a little English and something Of
our standard of living and then forge
on to more congenial and better paid
work. But always they were replaced
by newcomers, immigrants willing to
start at the bottom Of our American lad
der.
Now there is no host of newcomers
waiting to replace those who are unwil-
ling to work for the wages offered. The
restrictive immigration law acts as a bar
to the profitable operation of our coal
mines and similar industries. Until the
law is repealed in will be a constant
source Of labor trouble, for capital will
find difficulty in getting Americanized
workers for the plants.-Cn Popolo

ALEXANDER C. BELL

In the death Of Alexander Graham
Bell, inventor Of the telephone, America
loses one Of its greatest inventors, and
the world loses one Of its greatest bene.
factors.
Millions Of messages, some transmit.
ted for thousands Of miles attest the gen.
ius Of the Scotch-Anerican. who in
1869 left Scotland for the new continent
as an invalid, p years old. Now mil
lions Of miles OF wire, upheld by count
less poles, spread in a network over the
civilized world bene6ting all humanity,
and serving as a huge and impressive
memorial to one Of the worlds greatest
men.
In the magnitude Of this, his greatest
invention, other Of his inventions, and
his life Of well-direcied philanthropy have
been deprecated except to those persons
who owe individual thanks TO Doctor
Alexander Bell for his revolutionary
methods in teaching the deaf and dumb,
and for his telephone probe.
Ii was as a professor in vocal physiol- |
ogy for deaf mutes that he first gained
worldwide prominence. In this work,
carried on in the United States and in
Canada, he became an expert in acoustics,
which fact made possible later invention
Of the speaking wire or telephone.
Although Bell was the inventor Of many
useful, even revolutionary, processes and
machines, it is as the originator Of the
telephone that he will be best remem-
bered. II
To him civilization is indebted for
much Of its progress during the last half
century, and to him nations are indebted
for the national solidarity Of their peo-
pies. l.
No monument is needed to perpetuate
the memory Of Alexander Graham Bell. i
Thirteen million telephones will serve as
a universal monument to the man whose 6
genius and determination made possible
their existence.

Limiting Air Stunts.

FROM the Nep York Times.
1t is good news that an aeronautic code
is being drafted by experts Of the Bureau
Of Standards, the National Aeronautic
Association and the Society Of Automo-
tive Engineers. The design is to curb
low flying over crowds or trick flying
over any populated area.
Too long have the tail spin and the
spectacular somersauli been a great at
traction at amusement parks, horse
races and the county fairs; with dis
tressing frequency press dispatches have
announced that stalled" motor or an
-air hole" was responsible for a new
list of killed and injured in this risky
entertainment. Every one but the ire
sponsible aeronautic knights errant who
make a fat living during the Summer
months by spectacular flying will be
impressed by the sound sense Of the pro.
posed code.
Its chief provisions include prohibition
OF dangerous proximity Of aircraft in
Hight, aircraft radio regulation, the
proper ordering of landing fields and
signals for night flying. the equipment
Of airdomes, the inspection of aircraft
and the granting Of licenses only to pilots
who meet strict qualifications.
The United States has been slow in
recognizing the need of .aeronautical leg.
islation. But with the formulation Of
this code and the recent passage by the
Senate Of the Hicks bill, re.
drafted to include civil as well as army
and naval aviation, we seem at last to
be getting on a sounder basis.
