PRESS COMMENT
Waterford not Decadent

Lower Waterford, recently de
scribed by writer in Boston
newspaper as d deserted village
with empty houses and stores
staring at the passerby, is decribed
differently by writer in The St.
Johnsbuly Caledonian, who writes
at some length ABOUT a Farm Bur
eau meeting and who says; "In
point of interest shown in the pro-
jects presented and the number of
people in attendance, it (the meet
ing) was the most important
meeting of the series up to the
present time That's reassuring
indeed.
The Boston newspaper writer's
description of Lower Waterford
left one with a depressed state of
mind that such an attractive little
village as Lower Waterford
should be going into decay with its
population practically wiped out
through migration to other scenes
of activity Perhaps the picture
was too much oTerdrawn. Perhaps
Lower Waterford was merely at
the turning point of the ebb. At
any rate, the writer in the Gale
DOMAIN gives encouragement to be
lieve that Lower Waterford is far
from being in d decadent state

THAT when the manufacturer stops making, many
people stop working
THAT when many people stop working, many people
stop earning and when they stop earning, nearly all
business stops.

should buy.
THAT when they buy, the manufacturers can sell.
THAT when the manufacturers can SELL many
people earn.
THAT when they can earn they will have money to
spend.

Hold Preliminary
Conference Today
on Hard Coal Strike

washington, July 5.-While settle
ment of the bituminous coal strike
appeared tonight to hinge on the
meeting the operators and miners are
expected to have with President
Harding next Monday, another con-
ference of the parties to the anthra-
cite situation will be held tomorrow
1t was expected that Secretary Fall
would again meet with the miners
union officials and mine owners repre-
sentativcs but the impression was
that the session might be inconclusive
with the result that any action would
be held up pending the outcome of the
bituminouS sessions.
Though neither bituminous opera
tors nor the officials of the miners
union assembled had power to make
binding decisions for their associates,
the anthracite conference, as sum-
moned by President Harding consti-
tuted actually joint wage negotiat-
ing group.
S. D. Warmer, chairman of the
General Committee OF Anthracite Op-
orators, and Phillip Murray, vice pres
ident of the United Mine Workers of
America, led the respective delega-
tons which met Saturday empowered
to make a wage settlement and are
expected to do so again tomorrow. All
indications preliminary to the meet
inGs were that the union contingent
would offer to negotiate a new wage
contract of the general basis of scales
existing March 81, while the opera
tors, asking a reduction of wages
would tender arbitration at the hands
of President Harding as a means of
settling differences.
The bituminous confcrees adjourn
ed until Monday. have merely powers
TO suggest action to their associates
in the mining districts and the unions.
and so far have definitely failed to
agree on anything for the purpose.
President Harding on his return
Saturday will be given full reports
from Secretaries Hoover and Davis
on what has transpired in the execu-
tive gatherings. Further government
action. it was assumed, will be deter
mined after the information thus as
sembled' has been digested.

Says There Are
Very Few Truly
Educational Films

Boston. July 5--The so-Called edu-
cational moveie was assailed by AL
fred H. Saunders of New York in an
address today before the department
of instruction of the National Educa-
ton Association.
Mr.. Saunders asserted that there
were not II truly educational films
on the market and that most of those
so termed were merely illustrative of
some phase of industry or advertis-
ing. He suggested that educational
pictures be both directed and filmed
by educators.
The manufacturers, Mr.. Saunders
said, "have produced few travelog-
ues of foreign scenes. etc, and then
called them educational, informing
the teachers they must take these or
leave them.
when asked to produce class room
subjects the manufacturers rctort:
There is no money in them. We
can make million out OF the drama

attempt to catch the educator. but
havebeen garhled to such an extent
that their value is lost. They have
been worked around for atmosphere
and some love scenes to allow star

MIR. Saunders suggested that true
school films should be produced by
educators "who know their subject
matter, assisted by the camera man
who is himself educated and who can
grasp the ideals of the teacher-direc-
