THIRTY-HoUR WEEK AGAIN.

The soft coal miners, arranging prelminares for the settlement of the next wage scale they are going demand continuance of the present wages until 1925 and, in addition sxhour day and five day week
 It has been supposed by the public that the sO- hour week idea happily forgotten yet here it is bobbing up again. Ii the miners insist the of such short working hours, will be unfortunate for everybody.
 The present wage of day labor in union mines is said to be $7.5O day. Miners working ton basis, most miners said to do, often make a good deal
 This of course does really prosperity. It is of little to labor iberaly while it works if it works only small part of the time. The year ly earnings of the miners usually below the de- cent-living level. What they need is not much high wages steady work And what is needed for the prosperity of the coal industry whole, and for the protection of the public. is steady operation of the mines
 As the 30-hour week, though practical gument be made for it under existing conditions this industry, it is absurd in principle and would work havoc if applied to industry generally.
 The world is poor, and to relieve it's poverty needs greater production. The workers themselves need produce more in order to improve their condi- tion by sharing ill the general increase of wealth. The essential thing is utilize fully the man-power of society, and that be done thirty-ho week basis
 That working time would suffice, present, to produce the coal needed, only because there are many mines and too many miners all working part time The remedy is to close the superfluous mines and the superfluous capital and labor into other work. Cannot the operators and miners while they in conference do something about that?

BRITISH ACTION QUOTED
Demand for Release of Grace

sells Prompts Speed.
BRITISH ACTION QUOTED

WASHINGTON. Sept. % (Associated
Press) EARLY decision by the United
States Supreme Court upon the question
OF Federal jurisdiction over foreign ves-
sells engaged n/illegal activities outside
the three mile limit was forecast in
Government circles to-day after informa-
tiop had been received that United States
Judge James NJ. Morton at Boston had
certified that question to the highest
tribunal in the case OF the schooner
Grace and Ruby.
With the October term or the Supreme
Court opening next Monday. the Govern
ment is prepared to ask for expeditions
consideration of the question as consti-
tuting the erux of the prohibition<en
forcement campaign along the long coast
lines OF the United States.
Necessity for early action was in
creased to-day By information that the
British Government was about to re-
quest the release OF all vessels of Brit
ish or Dominion registry which have
been seized beyond the three mile limit,
unless they were captured while engaged
in traffic with the shore through the
medium OF their own boats. The Brit
ish decision was based on recent in
structions from President Harding to
Commissioner Haynes of the prohibition
bureau and to officials of the customs
service that they must confine their
operations against foreign shipping to
the marine limit fixed by international
law
Judge Morton, in sending the Grace
and Ruby case to the Supreme Court,
set forth that the question which he
desired TO have ruled on was whether
his court had jurisdiction of libels for
forfeiture and for penalties against a
British vessel seized by coast guard
cutter on the high seas. in the circum-
stances which obtained in the case OF
the Grace and Ruby.
The facts agreed upon were that the
vessel. British owned and commanded
by a British subject, was boarded about
six miles out by a motorboat from the
American coast. which was then loaded
with whisky and returned to shore, tow
ing a small boat from the visiting ship
1t was further agreed that certain OF
the crew went ashore with the liquor
and-on the part of the Government
that the ship was seized outside the
three mile limit.
Judge Morton ruled that while "the
high seas are the territory of no nation"
1t did not follow that "a nation is
powerless against vessels OFFENDING
against its law" which remained ous-
side a narrow limit. He quoted the
opinion of Chief Justice Marshall in tn"
case OF Church VS.. Hubbart that a
municipal regulation for seizure and for
felt of such vessels which transgresse
the hospitality of waters adjacent to its
coasts "if reasonably necessary for its
proper protection and the enforcement
OF its laws"

WOODIN ASKS TRIAL
OF COAL SUBSTITUTE
Warns Public That Apathy
Has Serious Menace for
Householder.

Apathy of the public toward provid-

was decried yesterday by State Fuel
Administrators William H. Woodin

situation" said the Fuel Administrator.
Nobody seems to pay attention to pro-

Mr.. Woodin's statement was his first

dealers.
Where TIE householder had two buck
cts of stove coal last winter he will
only have about one bucket this winter.

trlbuted. The control of the internal sit
uation is in the hands Of the narcotics
division of the Bureau Of Internal Rev
enue.
'.The law Of May 90. 1929. made some
drastic alterations in the control OF I'M
ports and exports of narcotics.
Power was given the board
composed OF the Secretary OF
State the Secretary OF the Treasury and
the Secretary of Commerce to permit ini-
portation only of raw opium and coca
leaves and expectation of narcotics only
to those countries which had referred
and were party to the Hague opium
convention and procol. The board also
was given power TO fix the quantity OF
opium aud coca leaves which could legal
~ be imported.
THE principal difficulty facing the
administration of the narcotic laws has
been the. persistent smuggling OF all
forms OF narcotics from foreign coun-
tries. II is the opinion OF those familiar
with the administration of the laws that
most of the narcotics surreptitiously sold
in the United States are smuggled. The
control Of the manufacture and sole
within the United States appears 10 be
very effective and II Is thought there is
very little leakage from the legitimate
to the illegimiate channels of distribu-
ton There is no doubt, however, that
large quantities of narcotics are smug-
gled into the country
