COAL PARLEY
IS RESUMED
Only 5 Weeks More in which
to Agree on Coal Miners
Wage

ATLANTIC CITY, July 23 (By The
Associated Press) With only five
weeks remaining in which to agree
upon a wage contract perpetuating
peace in the anthracite coal industry,
four union leaders and as many
mine operators gathered here today
to renew negotiations broken off ten
days ago.
John l.. Lewis. president of the
United Mine Workers OF America and
S. ID. Warriner, head of Lehigh Goa
and Navigation Co., and spokesman
| for the operators, were confident
they would be able to avoid strike
in the anthracite field this fall. But
which side would make the conces-
sions necessary to break the existing
deadlock neither would predict.
Operators also express agreement
with demand number g. providing
that grievances submitted to the con-
ciliation board and thence TO an UNI
pire, the latter's decision must be
forthcoming in 80 days.
OF the demands contested, those
considered most likely to lead to a
strike on September 1. are two; The
first calling for an increase of 20 per-
cent in wages for miners paid by the
ton dug, al d 50 a day more for
straight time workers; the second the
unions insistence upon a year wage
contract and complete recognition. y
meaning adoption of the check off
system-a Prime factor in the soft
coal strike last year.
For the commission to call an ex-
ira session of congress now to deal
WI !, -, eli
called for and an unwarranted pre-
sumption, Mr.. Hammond was quoted
as asserting. He expressed himself
as extremely optimistic of the out
come of the conference between op-
orators and miners at Atlantic City.
Both members of the commission
were quoted as being of the opinion
that if no agreement were reached
they would feel it III ir d:sty to take
up the question of supplying the
President with additional informa-
tion and facts.
Mr.. Lewis and the three union
presidents in the hard coal field ex-
pect next to state their case on the
2-year contract and complete rec
ognition" demand.
Little is expected to be accom-
plished today. There ia a stated
monthly meeting of the anthracite
board of Cancellation, miners and
operators, to thresh out. petty griev-
ances between employers and work
ers. Since six of the eight mem
bers of the negotiating parties are
members of this committee. the ma
tional dispute probably will not be
tackled until this afternoon.

ORDER CHANGED
City Attorney to Seek Modifi-
cation at Utility Board
Hearing
HEARING FOR TOMORROW
Other Municipalities May Join
With Perth Amboy- Bus
Action to Come Later

City Attorney David T. Wilentz.
will appear before the Board Of
Public Utility Commissioners when
they meet in Trenton tomorrow and
request that the order allowing the
Jersey Central Traction Company to
abandon their trolley line within
ten days be modified, as it is i'm
possible for this city to arrange -r
any other means of transportation
within that limited time. Mr.. Wilentz
has been in communication with
other municipalities through which
the cars operate and urges that they
also send Representatives to Trente
to seek an extension OF the rlf4
limit.
Both Aldermen-at-large Richar
]. Calvin and Alderman Robert A
MCGUIRE chairman of the bus com
nlittee requested the city attorne
to take action in the matter as the
question of furnishing transports 4
ton to take the place Of th4 trolley
between Keyport and tins CRY = I
serious one.
Under the order OF the commits
sion, in which permission was given
the traction company to abandon
service, it was specified that at least
ten QaSS nOUce nust De given the
municipalities through which the
company operated. Notice was at
once posted by the company to the
effect they would abandon service
on July 2S at midnight.
This action took the various mnnl-
eipalities by surprise as it was gem
orally believed that the company
would at least keep the. cars in
operation until after Labor Day
II has been impossible for this city
and many other municipalities
through which the company operates
to arrange for other means of trans
portation within this short time and
the need of maintaining the trolley
cars until other means of transpoFta-
ton can be arranged is imperative.
In his plea before the Commission
tomorrow, MIR. Wilentz will ask the
utility commission to postpone the
abandonment of the line for suf-
fcient length of time TO allow the
municipalities an opportunity 70
provide for other means of trans
portation.

ex-oficio chairman.
In an address at the national
convention of the Parent Teachers
Association held at Louisville, KY,
George Colvin superintendent of
instruction for the state of Ken
lucky made the following perth
ent remarks:
THE best way to judge a COM
munity is by it's attitude toward
children, and the way to read the
future of community or nation
is to know how it has educated it's
children and prepared them for
assuming the responsibilities of
citizenship.
A child belongs primarily to the
country, and the parents hold him
only in trust. Recognizing this
truth, he urged that teachers
should join hands with the parents
in insisting that all teachers work
only for the benefit of the child.
The school belongs, not to any
political party, or to any board of
trustees, but to the child, and
anything that works for the bet
terment of the child should be
the first aim of the school" Mil
