kane. a member of the Standard AS
phalt Paving company, to survey the

city administration for considera-
tion. Following his survey Mr..
Greene will prepare guaranteed esti-

be for five per cent of the cost OF
the system should the Standard As

Miners LEADER
SEESPEACE IN
COMMISSIONS
Wants Two Boards Made up
of Miners and
Operators
ONE TEMPORARY
Permanent Body to be a Composite of
Other Created Agencies Such rs
Labor Board.

Washington. April SINNERS from
the Central Pennsylvania soft coal
fields went before the House Labor
Committee yesterday. with figures to
show that the average wages PAID
miners in that field in 1921 were Sl4.6O
per week. or S2.0S per day.
John Brophy, president of Dis
trict No. 2, of the United Mine Work
ers' organization, headed the miners.
Mr.. Brophy also submitted to the
committee an argument for two com
missions, one to be an emergency 0ody
TO deal with the present situation ana
the other TO be a permanent TACT
finding" agency.
AS chairman of the naturalization
research committee of the miners or
ganization. ne has prepared a pamph,,
LET on compulsory information IN coal
which he submitted in support oil MS
argument for a permanent cOmnllS-
sion to unearth facts. Senator trehhg-,
huvsen. DR.. Harry A. Garheld and
other conservatives are quoted at
length in the pamphlet.
The basis of the argument made for
investigating commissions, was to a
large extent, the wage showing made
in the Central Pennsylvania heid last
wear. Coupled with the cost OF coal
to the public, the miners hold that
the wage showing is significant on the
diseased condition Of the coal industry.
BroDhy said the coal industry has
the dropsy-"is bloated with water
and oyerdevelopment.
The miners were at pains to demon
strate that their wage figures are ae-
curate. They explained that In District
No. 2. the check weighman, employed
bv the union to check the companies
weighing coal produced, are required
to report twice month TO UNION head
quarters the exact tonnage Tor tne
fortnight, the number of days the
mines operate. the number of miners,
and the number of day men.
These reports showed, the miners
said. that in 1921 the number Of men
employed in the Central Pennsylvania
mines was 81 .979: that the number OF
mines oEerated was 1854; that the total
production of pick-mined Goa! was
9.990,Al3 tons and Of machlne-mined
coal 1854. sol; that the wages re-
ceiyed were $24, ,305, ,2S4; that the num-
ber of days worked was l22; that the
average annual wage was S76O and
that this wage divided itself INTO
Sl4.G0 per week and $2.OS per day
"These." said Brophy in his state
ment filed with the committee, are
the actual WAGES Of the last year
which the operators say are too high
and must be deflated. Our reply IS
tbat AN industry which is able to pay
onIv S7GO a year to its workers and
which gives them only ll2 days OF

ing Made Object of Special lnvesti-
CATION by officials and Engineers.

Washington, April S.-Revival of
the water power scheme involving a
DEVELOPMENT for railroad and indust-
rial purposes of the possibilities OF
the Potomac, Susquehanna, Delaware
and other streams between Washing
ton and Boston was discussed at
length by the Cabinet yesterday in
connection with an even more sweep
ing water power enterprise cover
ing the country at large.
Although no formal announcement
was made at the White House be-
yond the statement that the Cabinet
had devoted the major part of its
tine to q consideration of the mat
fer. if was informally stated that wa
ter-power development, East, West
and South, would become one OF the
big policies Of the Administration.
A group of Administration officials,
il is learned, is studying the whole
proposition, including the various re-
ports of the Superpower Commission,
the Geological Survey and other agen-
cies of the Government which have
taken hand in the preliminary lnTes-
LEGATIONS. -,
One of the most important, if rot
the most important of these lnVeStl-
cations covered the power possible
ties of what is known officially as the
Washington-Bost area" The terri
tory comprehended in tina. title IN
cludes. of course, Maryland, and Baitl-
more in particular.
Months ago the Geological Survey
made public the results of studies
made by certain of the engineers OF
that organization dealing with the
economic possibilities Of great water
power stations at the Great Falls OF
the Potomac, the SuSquehanna river,
the Delaware river and other streams
of the Atlantic seab0ard.
More recently this section was re-
minded by a Government publication
of the advantage such power would oe
to the territory that might be served
bv water generated electricity in such
emergencies as nationwide coal
stike. This reminder was issued about
the time the bituminous and anthra-
cite miners walked cut.
In a general way it is proposed by
those Government engineers who have
conc over the WaShington-Boston
area to provide sufficient power to
opcratc all the public utilities OF
Washington. Baltimore. Wilmington,
Philadelphia. the New England cities
and at least part of those OF New
York.

LEGION ACCEPTS
CLUB OFFER
Bachelors Club to Share Its Quarters
With Ex-Service Men

At the meeting of the American
Legion last night, it was decided to
accept the proposition made by the
Bachelors Club for the Legion to pay
one-half the running expenses OF the
club. in return for which the paid-up
members of the Legion are to have all
the privileges of the club.
This will provide club and meet
ing room for the American Legion,
which is what they have been working
for ever since their organization.
The Legion now has in its general
fund sufficient money to enable it to
make this arrangement FOR two
months, after which time, if 1t is de-
cided to continue the arrangement,
the members will be assessed a month
ly or quarterly amount sufficient to
cover the required amount.
The Legion members believe this
will prove to be the most important
step taken since its organization, to
encourage membership and create in
terest and fellowship. 1t will give the
members place to meet and to enter
tain visiting comrades.
