URGES BIG PLAN
 OF GOVERNMENT
 PUBLIC BUILDING
Judge Kenyon Tells Labor Confer ence It Would Act to
 StabaliZe Work.

Washington, Dec. 2o.-Judge Wm. 5. Kenyon of Iowa urged the immediate adoption of federal program for long time advance planning of public works, ill a discussion on stabilinzing employ 1nent at a meeting of the American As sociation for Labor Legislation here to- day
 'When I was in the Senate" he said, "President Harding desired to expedite federal public works during the unem- ploy1nent period in order to give em- ploynent when most needed. The eff fort largely failed because 1t takes time to prepare emergency plans and to pass appropriations. The only practical way is to outline federal public works pro grams and appropriations for several years in advance. Then the government, by going slow during boo1ns, will not raise prices still further and will avoid competing with private business for the same men and materials. During pe- riods of depression 1t would be able to expedite its necessary public works as could not be done Ill 1921, and thus as- sist i'll stabilizing business and employ ment.
 This policy IS sound economically because 1t will result in building a ess volume at high prices and larger vol une at low prices. It would therefore afford an opportunity for tax reduc- tlons as against the greater cost of the present method of doing public work regardless of the business cycle"

COAL STRIKE TALK
 FAILED TO WORK
 AS OWNERS HOPED
Effort to Boost Prices By Bunco or Public Rolled By
 Workers.

Pittsburgh, Dec. 2o-While there IS much talk of a bitu1ninous coal strike or Suspension" in the trade, it IS impossible to trace any direct re- suits in the coal and coke markets, says the New York Evening Post. Connellsville coke operators sought to write hrst-quarter contracts in fur mace coke at advances, based partly on the theory that a strike at the union bituminous coal mines April I would greatly stiffen all coal markets in March, if not in February. The effort has fallen quite flat. Also, sellers of coal, experiencing great difficulty in efecting saels in recent weeks, have endeavored to help mat ters by strike talk, but have met a very cold reception.
 This complete failure of strike ex- pectations to affect the actual market has attracted attention. Why should a coal consumer express the opinion that there will probably be suspen- sion and yet be unwilling even to talk of stocking up? An explanation is that men are very tired indeed of coal, that the memory of very high prices pal dior several months before the government took charge of prices during the war, the still higher prices paid for months in 1920, and the high prices paid during the 1922 strike, instead of dying out, has been rank ling ,and any talk now of higher coal prices irritates the feelings instead of appealing to the jurgment.
 Connellsville furnace coke for spot shipment is $3.75 to $4 this. week, against $4 flat last week, and white the operators started out to secure $44o or $4.5o on frst-quarter con tracts it is known that $4 could now be done, while there are rumors that some contracts have actually been placed at $3.75.
 Pittsburgh district steam mine-run coal is quotable at $I.oo to $2.Io, against $2 to $2.1o week ago. Gas lump has declined sharply, the theory being that production cannot be fully regulated on account of some opera tors having old contracts for slack, at good prices, and having to sacrifice the lump arising so as to provide the slack.

MARINER BLANES
 STRANGE: FORCES
 F0R LATE WRECKS

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 3.-NeitherI tidal wave nor currents ot selsmcI origin, but some other strange force was responsible for the recent wreck of the United States destroyers and the crash a few days later of the su- per dreadnaught Texas, and the steel freighter Steel Seafarer, in the waters off Port Arguello, north of Santa Bar bara. according to Capt. Alfred Davis, a mariner of the old school who sailed his clipper ship around the horn de- cade ago.
 The west entrance to santa Barbara channel. between Point Concepclon and San Miguel islands, always has been in i'll repute among sea tarlng men. said Capt Davis. It is said that ... no other point on the Pacific have so many ships met disaster, and al- ways the cause remained mystery.
 Capt. Davis said that he recalls a great many wrecks along the coast' near Point Arguello, dating back to the time of the mystery disaster or the Golden Horn. Always, said the old captain, those who escaped alive have had the same story to tell, of sudden fog, then without warning, crashing on the rocks. Invariably, he said. the navigators thought them selves in midchannel their instru- ments showing them to be on safe course when in reality they were many ( miles from their course.

MASTERFU[ PLEAS
 MADE FOR AID N
 RESTORING PEACE
CIVILIZATION DOES NOT COME FROM KINGS AND PRINCES,
 BUT FROM ON HIGH

NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-Lloyd George in a speech here last night made a masterful plea for Americas aid in restoring peace in Europe. He said, There have been times in the history of the world where you have had two or three nations that for time have been trustees for civilization. One after another they have failed in their commission of trusteeship, for civili- zation does not come from kings and princes, senates, parliaments nor from councils; it comes from on high When it comes. it does not come from choice of people; it comes from the will of God That commission is yours and ours today. You responded to ar invisible message in 1917, and we hat already done so; but our commission is not fulfilled, the work is only hal done. If it is not fully discharged civilization is doomed within this gen eration to a catastrophe such as tht world has never seen"
