DR.. F0SD|CK ASKS
FOR NEW STANDARD
Urges Universities to EnCour-

Ahead of the Times.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ANN ARBOR, Mich. June 1S.-Dr
Harry Emerson Fosdick, pastor of the
First Presbyterian Church of New
York came to the commencement
exercises at the University of Michi-
gan today to enunciate a call to the
universities of America to turn out
generations of young men and wom-
en- who will live above the average
and ahead Of the time" and will not
"bow down before the general aver
age and the majority vote"
LAS young men and women go out
into our social life, he said. they
will drift sooner or later into one OF
three places: They will be below the
they will be on the average. d part
of the dead level of those who think
what everybody else thinks: or they
will be above the average, pioneers
whose visions are more prophetic than
the majority yet see.
"If there is any rlace on earth
where one has right to plead for
recruits to that all-too-small minority
of independent men and women
above the average and ahead of the
time, surely that place is Il college
campus on commencement day.
"In this endeavor to grasp the social
Significance of being above the aver
age we have at the very start one
antagonistic force to overcome-the
Influence of political democracy"
DR. FoSdick declared that modern
democrats who would Scorn to
truCkle to an autocrat truckled to
the majority with all the obsequious-
ness of ocurtier before a king and
continually bowed down before the
two great sovereigns of the demo-
or attic state-the general average
and the majority vote"
While admitting that the best way
yet discovered in which to run a
government is to elect public servants
by popular Suffra ge," DR.. Fosdcl< de-
clared that the idea that the voice
of the people is the voice of God is
largely nonsense"
The fact is" he asserted, that in
any realm where judgment calls for
spiritual and intellectual fneness
only the minority who are above the
average are ever right. And the best
hope of democracy lies in that mi
rority who lift the level of the gem
eral average instead of letting the
general average level them down"
Talks of Flngrant LawIessncss.
DR.; Fosdick urged that a strong
stand be taken against downright
1agrant lawlesSnesS and living away
below the average, which. he said,
were appallingly rampant in America
In connection with lawlesSness in
reference to the Eolstead act he said
he did not see how d good American
could take any less stand than: That
he hates the liquor traffic: that he
recognizes the right of the state to
put down the traffic as it would put
down a contagious disease; that he
Will obey the existing law: and that
If he does not like the law he will
agitate to rephraSe or amend il to
make it more reasonable and en-
forcible.

WANT MINELEADERS
HELD TO CONTRACTS
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ALTOONA, Pa, June 1S.-The plac-
Ing of collective and individual legal
responsibility upon members of the
United Mine Workers of America for
carrying out their contracts was rec
commended as a strike preventive to
the United States Coal Commission by
the Operators Association of the Cen
trail Pennsylvania District in d brief
submitted on behalf of the bituminous
coal operators of that section
Abolition of the check-off system;
ing upon the basis of district or sec
tional wage agreements; placing of
wages in the mining industry on a
parity with other industries employing
the same class of labor; the right to
introduce labor-saving devices and ma
chinery without union interference and
inclusion of arbitration clauses in all
wage agreements were other strike
elimination means urged upon the
commission.
The brief pointed out that since
April 1, 1916. there had been two
general and 664 local strikes in the
central Pennsylvania district, which
employs $4,000 miners and produces
coal annually. The strikes were as
serted to have been in violation of
contracts on the part of the United
Mine Workers. which was accused
of frequent violation of agreements
to the detriment of the principles OF
collective bargaining.
1t was pointed out that non-union
operators had decided advantage
because of higher production costs
to their competitors. and their pro-
duction was being increased through
on-unionization in the West .Vir-
ginia fields.

NEW YORK. June 1S.-Vessels of
the Sandy Hook rum fleet are accused
by federal officials of adding the
smuggling of aliens and narcotics to
the traffic in liquor. Three of the
liquor ships lurking beyond the
three-mile limit have aliens aboard
awaiting a chance to slip ashore, the
officials said. Investigation of the
mysterious steamship Mary Beatrice,
found in the lower bay last Wednes-
day with fifteen Chinese aboard, was
said to have brought to light the
new activities in Rum row operations.
The officials declared they were
convinced the Chinese tale of the
Mary Beatrice from Havana, Cuba,
with twenty Orientals aboard, was
false. Whether such a battle as that
described by the Chinese. in which
five of their fellow countrymen and
four of the crew were alleged to have
been killed, after the captain desert
cd, actually had taken place was still
in doubt. The officials expressed the
belief that such an encounter may
have taken place on another vessel
in Rum row The Chinese, according
to all dications in possession of the
investigators, were transferred to the
MARY Beatrice from dnOtner snip on
