OLD GENT RAL AREA BASIS FUR WAGES APPEARS CERTAIN

 cago Farley

CHICAGO. Jan. 5.--Return tc the old central competitive field as a basis for fixing wage scales in bi- luminous coal fields, seemed cer- tainty here today, with sthe adjust ment of the joint conference of 15 districts and the understanding among operators and miners that call would be issued for con- ference in New York. January r.
 The call for the New York meet ing Is expected to be issued by John l.. Lewis, head of the United Mine Workers of America, and signed by Phil H. Penna, president of the In diana Operators association and chairman of the conference just ended. but acting in this instance as an individual.
 The conference adjourning sine die today without reaching any agree ment on which to base wage scale agreements, ends series of meet ings and conferences which began in Cleveland in October, 1922. Conference Too Large The largeness of the conference taking in sc many divergent opin- ions. was blamed by many for the failure.
 The new call is understood by iop- orators to include the old central competitive field of Illinois, Indiana Ohio and western Pennsylvania, with the possibility of including a few adjacent states. Operators of the old four state group appeared to be the Snly ones working harmoniously dur ing the recent conference Lewis directly blamed the inabil- ity of operators to decide upon some plan for failure of the conference but expressed the belief that in the
 near future it may be possible to assemble a joint conference which
 will give promise of concrete ac- complishment."
 In telegram dispatched to John Hays Hammond, chairman of Presi- dent Harding's fact-finding commits sion. immediately after adjournment, the operators declared they had agreement but the cumbersomeness of a nationwide conference had
 made this impossible.
 Favor District Plan "The operators proposal to the conference was the only one upon
 which agreement could be reached
 among themselves" the telegram
 stated, referring to the district set
 clement plan offered yesterday.
 We further believe 1t offered a practical and practicable solution of
 our difficulties. We regret that the
 miners could not agree with us on this proposal. No other solution could come from this conference.''
 The Likelihood of a strike April l, when present agreements expire. is but slightly increased by the fail- ure of this conference, according to the beliefs expressed by operators and miners, almost all of them plac- ing condolences in the meeting to be called.

MISS ALICE HAS
REMEDY FOR

more Gospel, Less Law" Is
Needed, Says Oklahoma
CongressWoman.
By KENNETH w. CLARK,

More gospel and less law"
This was the rule Miss Alice Rob
ertson, CongresswomanN from Okla
homa, offered today for Kidding the
country of the divorce evil"
You can't stop nasty and fool
ish marriages. or prevent divorce
by legislation she told Interna
tional News Service, in voicing
strenuous oppression to the CappeI
bill for a new Federal marriage and
divorce law THAT measure is un
American" she added.
Home Training Urged.
Furthermore, Miss Robertson does
brought about in marriage customs
with one fell stroke" Until "our
young people have a full and com
prehensive realization Of what mar
riage means"
This, she thinks, can be accom-
plished only by proper and ade
quate home training and by keep
ing boys and girls more under
the guide and influence of parents
Teach our boys and girls the
doctrines of love as set forth in
the Bible, and We'll have less OF
these hasty, ill-conceived marriages
with subsequent divorces
BIames Parents.
Much of the blame for the present
tendency toward youthful mar
riages, Miss Robertson placed upon
mothers of the country.
Girls, and to lesser degree
boys, are not given, proper home
discipline she said. There is toe
much 'flippancy,' and not enough
of the serious mother-daughter re
lationships of a few years ago
Many girls are not under the guide
and counsel Of their mothers as
they should be-"
This is typified. she said, in the
numerous runaway marriages.
Quite emphatically Miss Robert
son denounced the institution OF
divorce. If it were possible she
would prohibit divorce entirely
She pointed out South Carolina haG
not permitted there"
Offers Remedy.
With some hesitancy, Miss Rob
ertson offered what she believed
a guide that would solve the di
vorce problem once and for all timt
without law, which anyway will
not provide remedy"
Let the young couples at the
wedding ceremonies agree never 4
get angry at the same time. If they
do that, and keep their word-well
there will be no more divorces"
And then when she had giveT
these pertinent observations OF
marriage and divorce problems con
fronting the country, she turnet
abruptly and with a quizzical smile
asked:
why do you ask an old maid
about marriage?'
