WOULD TRAIN MINERS
IN USE Of GAS masks

WASHINGTON, Apr. 21.- Oxygen
breathing apparatus is taking an in
creasingly important part in the war
by science and humanitarianism to
reduce death and loss from mine fires
and explosions. The United States
Bureau of Mines says the proper use
of the breathing apparatus after the
recent mine explosion at Spangler.
Pa, resulted directly in saving %
lives.
Nevertheless. the disaster reports of
the bureau indicate the need for more
widespread installation and training.
OF 122 mines at which disasters have
occurred, only 32 had fully trained
rescue crews. while 16 others had
only few men trained. Records OF
a large numter of such disasters
show 1S9 men saved their lives by
sealing themselves behind barricades
built to shut out fatal gases.
The wearing of oxygen breathing
apparatus after disasters and in the
fighting of mine fires, however, is haz-
ardous. The records show % men
have died wearing apparatus at the
time of disaster, but this numter is
only about IL percent of those wear
ing such apparatus. BY careful in
yestigation it was proved in each case
that If the apparatus had feen kept
in proper order. or had the men been
properly trained or been physically
sound, or had they not attempted to
do too much.there would have been no
deaths and no occasion to blame the
apparatus.

ANTI-RADICAL MOVE
 TAKEN IN ILLINOIS
Manufacturers Propose ConVen-
 tiOn With the Farmers

Chicago, July S0.-An Anti-Radi- can convention is expected to be called in Chicago at the next meeting of the directors of the Illinois Manufactur- CTS association.
 The convention will be for manu- lecturers and farmers, as outlined in a letter sent by John M. Glenn. sec retary of the Manufacturers associ- ation, to Colonel R. D. Bowen of Paris, Texas, cotton planter.
 Tt is quite natural for the farmer to rebel against the existing situa- tion," said MT. Glenn in his letter. He represents about half of the pur- chasing power of the United States, and he is kicking because he has to put up from nine to ten bushels of wheat and sometimes eighteen bush- els to match one days labor in fac tory. t.
 The largest element in the cost of manufactured goods is labor and the present wages are artificial and are maintained through union organiza- tions. because, in many instances, manufacturers follow the line of least resistance and yield to the demands of organized labor.
 "The national politicians, for the most part, are in ridiculous plight in thei reffort to attract attention to their leadership. Such men as Sena- tor Brookhart, the two Johnsons and La Toilette are not going to fool any one very long.
 'The manufacturer and farmer have a great deal Tn common, and now is the time for the manufacturer to do something that will aid his ally and customer When a man gets SIS a day, or IS bushels of wheat for lay ing 800 bricks. something is rotten in Denmark. The following shows how the farmer gets the worst of it:
 Tt takes 631a dozen, or 762 eggs, to pay plasterer for one day of eight hours work.
 Tt takes 17R bushels of corn, or a years receipts from half an acre, to pay bricklayer for one day.
 Tt takes 23 chickens, weighing three pounds each, to pay painter for one day in New York.
 Tt takes AZ pounds of butter, or the output from IA cows, fed and milked for "A hours, to pay a plum Der s14 a day.
 Tt takes a hog weighing 175 pounds, representing eight months feeding and care to pay carpenter for one days work"

SOFT COAL FLOOD
 IN CASE OF STRIKE
In Case of Walkout, Any Section
 Will Get Supply

Atlantic City, N. J., July 30.-A de- luge of bituminous coal, at prices that will meet government and public ap- proval, will be poured into sections of the country where, if anthracite min CTS call the threatened strike Sept. l., fuel famine would be the inevitable rsult, the bituminous operators special committee of the National Coal asso- citation announce.
 Commission to Get Plan
 John c. Brydon. president of the association and chairman of the com mittee, will lay the plan before the United States coal commission in Washington tomorrow and will offer corps of volunteers to carry it through.
 When John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers of America, learned that the special committee proposed to do, he immediately issued statement charging that the Ma tional Coal association was setting out to wreck the union, and create strike of soft coal miners next April, so that nonunion operators could reap har- vest in profits.
 The coal association chief disclosed today that his organization, more than a month ago, took steps to create "an emergency organization of bituminous coal operators which can be called into action and placed at the service of the government to avoid fuel shortage in times of emergency or national need"
 "The United States coah commission in its recent anthracite report pointed out the practicability and advisability of using such substitutes as bitumin- ous coal and coke in times of emer- gency," said @ statement by MT. Bry- don. "The bituminous industry has now a productive capacity available for New England and the Middle States, where anthracite is ordinarily used, amply sufficient at the present time to insure against any shortage next winter, while at the same time continuing to take care of its cus- tomary obligations for the rest of the country"
 Under this organization" he said, ''the finest grades of bituminous coal of kind used for domestic purposes in four-fift of the United States, can be poured into those districts, such as New England, which have been &C., customed to rely on anthracite coal" Two weeks notice would be sufficient, said MT. Brydon. and prices would be what the government and the public would call reasonable"
 Today it was decided that this emergency machinery would be ten dered to the government, and steps taken to put the program into opera tion on short notice. The special com- mittee visiting Washington also has drawn up recommendations, chief of which is considered that for abolition of the check-off system of collecting union dues, and will present them to the Federal Coal Commission.

CHICAGO FEARS CAR TIE-UP.
Elevated and Surface Mechanics
 Threaten Wage Increase Strike.

Chicago, July 30.-Close on the heels of an amicable settlement of wage troubles with motormen and conductors by the granting of a three cent hourly increase, came threats of walkout of the mechani- cal forces of Chicago's elevated and surface lines unless wage increases ranging from 10 to AS cents an hour are granted.
 Fully 5000 men are represented in the new controversy which has, al- most passed through the conference stage. Company officials have stated they can grant three cent hourly in- crease but the treasury will not stand as extensive rises as the men demand.
 The company's offer was rejected by union officials. who said, however, 1t wonld be submitted to the men for consideration. Two special meetings have been called for tonight.

DUST MIDDLEMAN,
 BR00kHART URGES
Inequalities of Economic System
 Scored by Senator

Minneapolis, July 30.-Inequalities of our economic system have forced different groups, like the Farm Bloc, Labor Bloc, the Soldiers Bloc and Mothers Bloc, to consider their own are now figuring their own problems as the business man figures his own business, Senator Smith w. Brook hart of Iowa asserted at the annual picnic of the Trades and Labor As- sembly here yesterday. &
 These groups have reached the common conclusion that. their inter- ests are identical, MT. Brookhart said. They now assert they have been kept apart and at enmity by the great combination of wealth, which have thrived in profits and :uled in politics by keeping these groups of common people at each others throats" They all believe in the spirit, practice and progress of cooperation and under this banner they are united today, he said.
 The question of unrest Is the most expressing in the state, national and international fields," said MT. Brook hart. Civilization has reached turning point. Prediction that great changes are impending is universal.
 "As for myself, think there is no advantage in criticising an old sys- tenn or method until 8 better one is suggested. There is no progress, no advancement in tearing down the old building unless material and work men are at hand for construction of a better one. ... ..
 Based on these ideas, I have at- tempted to reason out the causes of this unrest and to suggest a remedy to displace 1t. This unrest is caused by inequalities of our economic sys- tenn. The laboring man has ceased to denounce the farmer az a profteer. On the other hand the farmer is no longer willing to fight the laboring man. Each has definitely concluded that the middleman, with his profits, waste and extravaganza, is the con- mon economic and political enemy of both. On this basis, these great blocs have united together for economic and polite action.
 This condition is not local to the west. It is exactly the same in New Hampshire, Massachusetts, New York and Ohio. These great groups have not united together for any radical or destructive purpose. They have united on common remedy. It is not wild and untried theory. It is the oldest, soundest, most enterprising and most successful business principle ever pro- 
 Tt is as aggressive as the spirit of the Crusader, and it is as gentle as the Sermon on the Mount. It is known as economic cooperation and was in- vented by twenty-three flannel weav- CTS, the Equitable Pioneers of Roch- dale. This is the spirit of Lincoln and of Jefferson rolled into one."

THE CAUSE OF WAR
Trade Disputes Given by William S. Culbertson as One of Main Causes For International Trouble.

Williamstown, Mass, July 30.-- Trade disputes form the main cause of war, William S. Culbertson, vice chairman of the tariff commission said in an address at the Williams College Institute of Politics today. Ma tional security and the preservation of world peace he added, depended upon an analysis of the economic basis of society and the provision of means, of adjusting economic disputes before they erached the stage of political differences between nations.
