Public Won't
Stand Strike,
Pinchot Says
Warns Miners and Operators
Welfare of Nation Takes
Precedence Over Any
Dispute.

Harrisburg, Pa. Aug. 27.-The pub
lie will not tolerate strike in the
anthracite fields September l Gov
ernor Pinchot today warned the war
ring operators and miners, assembled
in conference at the call of the Penn
sylvania executive.
THE public interest demands that
this controversy shall be settled and
that suspension Of mining shall be
avoided" Pinchot charged as the
meeting opened. THE thing is pos
sible-and it must be done"
A grim determination was evident
on the part of the governor as he
launched his opening plea for set
tIement. In plain, outspoken words
he called to the attention of the eight
men representing the two factions
the dangers of a strike at this time.
He pointed to a huge loss Of profits
to the operators, a huge loss of wages
to the miners--but particularly he
stressed the inconvenience and even
actual danger that a shutdown of the
hard coal industry would work upon
the public.
Means Loss OF Health.
"A shortage Of anthracite means
loss of health among millions OF
American families, loss of comfort, OF
working power and of time" he said.
"A strike or suspension such as now
threatens is a public calamity. and as
such every reasonable public means
must be used to prevent It,"
Hope was expressed by Pinchot that
a settlement would not be impossible.
'The eleventh hour is upon us
and the crisis has now been reached,
he told the delegates. I'VE must do
in this eleventh hour what should
have been done before. 1t can be done
and must be done. There is still time
Let us use this time in an effective
spirit of common counsel so that this
common danger may pass. with due
regard to the rights of all, and with
due credit and honor to all con-
cerned."
Public Good Paramount.
"The Roosevelt platform of 1912 as
serted that the public good comes
first Do not forget that the public
cannot look with indifference upon
unnecessary industrial conflict over
private rights while It suffers in
health, comfort and the very essen
tials OF life.
LAS the representative of the peo-
pie of the commonwealth OF Penn
sylvania, I am here to tell you that
the rights are to be recognized and
Unprotected also.
THE public does not and cannot see
with your eyes and appreciate with
your experience the background and

ULSTER TO ELECT
IS TO PARLIAMENT
Result of Voting of Deep Con.
sequence to Both North
and South Ireland.
By the Associs ted Press.

BY the Associated Press.
DUBLIN, November 2g.-Ireiands S
direct interest in the British general
election is confined to the north
where thirteen seats at Westminster
are to be filled. Nearly all of these
are uncontested and will return the
same members, who are supporters OF
Prime Minister Baldwin.
In Tyrone and Fermanagh the seats
were won at last years election by
nationalists favoriug incorporation
with the Irish Free State, but only
one OF the two members took his seat
the other. 4 Sim Feiner. was interned
by the northern government The
nationalists' majority was over 5000
and they hope to increase their vote
this year.
Bearing on Dispute.
1t is felt that any change OF min
istry in Britain will have an import
ant bearing on the boundary issue
for If Mr.. Baldwin is displaced the
question might be approached from a
different angle. The projected bound
airy conference between Sir James
Craig, the Ulster premier, and the
Free State government is believed to
have been abandoned in view of the
dissolution of parliament.
Another issue of great Importance
throughout Ulster is the land ques-
tion. In southern Ireland landlord
ism has been entirely abolished, and
It was the intention Of the British
cabinet to introduce legislation to
complete land purchases in Ulster
where, although q majority OF the
farmers have become peasant pro-
prietors. there is still a considerable
number of rent-paying tenants.
Effects of Protection.
The protection policy of the Brit
fsh conservative party affects the
Free State much as it affects Canada,
for the two are in the same fiscal
position. However, as revised by Mr.
Baldwin the proposed tariff is not
regarded as Offering any advantages
to the Free State. 1t was known
that wheat and meat were to be ex-
empted. but the unexpected exemption
of dairy products, for which Ireland
has large sale in Great Britain, will
mean that this country will have no
advantage over exporters in Denmark
and other European nations. Fur
thermore, Irelan nd buys large Quanti-
ties Of British manufactured goods
which under protection would cost
her more.
At present the Free State subjects
British goods to tariff, giving
Britain preference, however, on such
commodities as are at present pro-
-ected in Great Britain itself under
the safeguarding of Industries act.
The next Free State budget will
provide for an Irish tariff. the out
line Of which is in preparation by
commission of distinguished econo-
mists.

lied by the Soils survey map as being
very much in need of fertilizer.
Worn out soils, light sandy soils,
low peat areas-these are the soils
that need mari. There are 10000, 900
acres of sandy soils and peat soils in
the state that are practically unpro-
ductive because of the lack of lime,
not to say anything of the other mil
lions of acres of worn out soils that
would be rehabilitated and rendered
productive by the use of lime. Mari
is lime.
The Minnesota Gas & Mineral Co.
has taken the initiative in developing
for commercial purposes the mari de-
posits of the state. For a number of
years the State Division of Soils to-
gether with the University of Mime
sofa have been experimenting with
mari with success. 1t was for this
purpose principally that the local
company was organized though it has
other mineral interests. 1t stands to-
day the only company developing this
product in the entire northwest,
though the use of mari has long been

extensive in Wisconsin, Illinois
Michigan, Indiana and many of the
Eastern states. This company has
caused an examination to be made OF
| the entire state for this substance
The company has already leased the
available mari deposits in the state.
Preparations are being made for de-
velopment OF large and valuable
deposit at Swanville.
The company estimates that the
commercial mari land leased contains
considerably more than 100000
tons. They estimate that fully a
hundred car loads will be shipped
from the Little Sank deposit this
summer and fall.
Last week the directors of the
company, l.. w. Gingery, VIM. M.
Parker, Lawrence H. Nelson, togeth-
er with Bob. J. Malloy, consult
ing mineral engineer, visited the
Little Sank deposit and discussed de-
tails of development. A second visit
was made by these men accompanied
by S. o. Nafziger, representing
manufacturers of equipment for de-
veloping mari deposits. Mr.. Nafziger
spoke in the very highest terms of
the deposit at Little Sank and ap-
proved of the plans already made for
eXcavating and marketing the same.
The company has large force of
workmen at present, installing equip
ment and expect to ship several car
loads this month.
The men behind the project have
measured every angle of the business
and have brought in experts to adj
wise them where advice was needed.
In opening up this industry the
Minnesota Gas & Mineral Co., has
begun a project that should mean
much to the farmers in Minnesota.
1t has been a big work even thus far;
necessitating a geological examina-
ton of practically the entire state for
mari deposits and the leasing of the
few commercial deposits that were
found. Besides this a campaign of
education was entered upon for the
farmer in the use of mari. The cam
paign included the broadcasting of
thousands of sheets of literature,
giving many lectures and exhibits at
county and community fairs, and
Farmers association meetings. Soil
tests have been made throughout the
state by the company with the result
that today only the largest and most
complete equipment must be installed
to supply the demand that is already
in sight.
In the project the company have
the backing of State Division of Soils,
and the University of Minnesota on
the splendid value of mari for fert-
ilizer purposes. At the Coon Creek
Experiment Station DR.. Away, head
of Minnesota Division of Soils, null
tiplied the alfalfa production by ten
times by the use of mari. Remarkable
results were also had from the use
of mari on corn, wheat, timothy and
clover.
The latest improved system of an
alyzing soils for acidity which en-
ables accurate tests to be made are
used. These tests are made without
charge to the farmer. In this way the
farmer can know definitely whether
or not his soils need mari and if they
need it, how much. A definite state
