THE
RIGHT THING AT
THE RIGHT TIME
By MARY MARSHALL DUFFEE
TRAVELLING

A good custom is better than law
Eurtpides.
0UR friends are beginning to travel
~ again.
Now it is more like old times, and
if our friends 60 abroad they 60 with
lighter hearts and with more baggage.
Therefore it Is quite the thing to give
them little gifts and, if they want us
to, to see them off. Be sure, though,
that you are wanted. Nothing is more
embarrassing than to arrive unexpect-
eddy on the deck of a steamer to find
the friend you have gone to see off
surrounded by an invited party of
which you are not a member. So don't
60 unless you are quite certain that
you are wanted, both for your sake
and for the sake Of the traveller.
As for the gifts you send, be sure
that they are really desirable, and not
merely something that will fill up the
steamer trunk and bags. If you know
of some travelling accessory Of which
good choice. A book Is never amiss
because after it Is read it can be left
on shipboard If it is in the way.
Candy, although it is a conventional
present, and one Of the few things that
a man is supposed to give to woman,
is nevertheless not very good choice.
A great many persons even though
they enjoy ocean travel are particu-
larly careful not to indulge in sweets.
Flowers, another of the conventional
gifts of men to women, are always in
perfectly good taste. However, they
are sometimes in the way in the state
room. If you know that anyone dis
likes flowers on the steamer don't send
them.
AS in all other cases where gifts are
concerned a man may send flowers,
candy or books to woman. Books
in this case include magazines, and
sometimes half a dozen current maya
zines are as welcome a gift as anyone
could receive. They provide just the
kind of reading that some people like
on shipboard and can be discarded
without a qualm when their reader is
through with them.

Unforgotten
BY GRACE E. HALL

no YOU think Of me sometimes,
- you who went
On an alien path ere our love grew
cold?
Out in the spaces where you have won
To the heights that you dreamed of,
have you done
Such deeds as have made you more
content
Than you were in our love of old?
DO you think of me sometimes, where
you are,
And wish you had held to the other
way?
Those high-flung trails-are they all
you crave?
Do they yield the sweetness our young
love gave?
You fastened your wagon to a star
Does it brighten your every day?
Oh! warm my heart by that youth
time fire
When the breath of the years grows
chill;
And always 1 wonder If you recall
That white-hot fame, when the shad-
Ows fall
Do the heights suffice for your souls
desire?
Do they warm like our first loves
thrill?
Do you think Of me sometimes, dear,
out, there,
Where the trails lead high and you
longed to go?
I could not forget if I tried! I keep
My faith with you ever, awake, asleep;
And sometimes I call, and it is a
prayer
Do you hear my voice on the warm
night air
Ever, when soft winds blow?

REPORT ON MINE OPERATIONS
Federal Commission Says Labor Dis.
turbaness Are Most Serious Bar
to Big Coal Production.

Labor disturbances are the most
serious obstacles to superabundant
production Of coal In the United
States, the coal commission declared
in a report to President Coolidge on
the subject of irregular operation
and overdevelopment of the bitumi-
nous industry" While ineffective
transportation machinery was said to
lend its effect to fuel shortage, the
commission concludes that "the strike
OF the mine workers Is the only bar
to continuous production considerably
In excess Of any present possibility of
consumption"
10 attempt to solve the problem
solely by improving transportation,
the report said, would be simply to
transfer to the railroad industry ''the
overdevelopment now seen In the coal
industry and necessarily to increase
freight rates." 1t was estimated that
the railroads would entail an expendi-
ture of $2,OOO,OOO,OOO if they set out
to build up their equipment to the
point where it could serve the peak
demand for fuel, which would impose
an additional charge on coal Of about
40 cents a ton.
transportation facilities currently
available" the commission decided.
Commenting upon the labor factor,
In recruiting shortages, the report
said:
There have been but two national
strikes Of the union coal miners since
1915. that Of ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS,
1919, cutting off some 70 per cent Of
the soft coal output, and that Of the
summer of 1922, affecting the btu
minous coal fields to the same extent
and shutting down the anthracite
fields completely for about five months.
The loss Of production occasioned by
these concerted Withdrawals Of the Or
ganized mine workers has in each in
stance caused such general shortage
of coal that even after resumption Of
mining there were long periods Of in
sistent demand and high prices. The
strike Of the mine workers is the only
bar to the continuous production Of
bituminiOus coal at a rate considera-
bly, in excess of any present possibility
of consumption by the industries, rail-
roads and households of this country,
and Of demand for export.
"The bituminous coal industry rests
upon abundant unmined reserves. The
capacity in mines and mining labor is
sufficient to produce at least Is per
cent more than the highest rate at
tanned in periods Of peak demand, and
If demand were spread evenly over
the year the overdevelopment would
be even more pronounced"

GENERAL LABOR NOTES

New York's daily papers were Grip
pied by an unauthorized strike of
their pressmen. George Berry, inter-
national president Of the pressmen's
union, ordered the men back to work,
declaring their strike illegal, and the
formation of a new local union was
begun.
Peter E. Joy, ex-treasurer Of district
lodge No. 8 Of the International Broth
erhood Of Boiler Makers, Erie system,
was arrested in Huntington, Ind,
charged with embezzling 1884 Of the
unions funds. The affidavit was
signed by John A. Marvin of Bingham
ton, N. Y, general chairman of the
boiler makers union.
There has been unprecedented de-
mand for workers recently in Seattle,
according to ]. 81. Shields, Ssuperin-
tendent Of the city employment Office.
He was asked to provide 2,4O1 male
workers and 47S woman workers. The
demand from logging camps and other
industries Of the Northwest keeps well
ahead Of the supply, he said.
Numerous strikes and repeated in
terruptions to production in the shoe
trade have accounted for the moving
Of a number of New England shoe fac
tories to cities not so well known as
shoe centers. The A. w. Herrick Shoe
company of Haverhill, Mass, will
transfer it's plants to Dover, N. 81.
The George Weber shoe interests
have transferred machinery from
Haverhill to Athol, Mass, while the
Ground Gripper Shoe company will
remove from Lynn to Roxbury.
An apparent increase Of 1856 per
cent in child labor over the CORE
spending period last year is shown in
statistics made public by the children's
bureau Of the Department Of Labor,
covering the first six months Of the
current year in thirty selected cities.
The survey is based on the number OF
minors between the ages Of fourteen
and sixteen years who received first
working permits.
The California State Federation OF
Labor held it's twenty-fourth annual
convention in Stockton. About 4OC
delegates attended.

new CHILD LABOR
BILL EXPECTED
compers Sees President and
Says He Seems in Sympathy
With the Movement.
IT'S BACKED BY THE AT. Of L.
First Effort In the New Congress
Probably Will Be to Secure Pas
sage of Resolution Providing for
Constitutional Amendment.

Revival Of agitation for legislation
to restrict child labor in the United
States Is certain to come with the
opening Of the next congress and
President Coolidge is believed to be in
thorough sympathy with the move
ment, behind which the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor already has placed
it's resources.
Samuel Gompers, president of the
labor federation, discussed the SUBJ
ject with President Coolidge at the
White House, incidentally paving the
way for further conferences on legis-
lation which labor will urge upon con-
gress.
Following his talk with the Presi.
dent, Mr.. Gompers said he had found
the Chief Executive in a receptive
mood with respect to the need for
child labor restrictive measures and
entirely in sympathy with all efforts
to bring about legislation which will
stand the test of the courts.
The President pointed out to the
labor leader that his own state, Mas.
sachuSetts, had enacted legislation to
restrict child labor and that he, while
governor of the Bay state, had signed
the 48-hour-a-week law.
Mr.. Gompers called attention to the
fact that since the last child-labor
law had been declared unconstitu-
tional there has been an increase Of
80 per cent in the number of children
employed in United States industries.
Senator Medill Mccormick is deeply
interested in new child-labor legisla-
ton and sought to have a constitu-
tional provision enacted at the last
congress-, but it was lost in the press
of legislation toward the close of the
session. He is expected to renew his
efforts in the new congress.
MIR. Gompers Informed the President
Of the efforts that have been under
way to stir up agitation for child-labor
legislation in the recent past. Rep
resentatives Of eighteen national Or
CARNATIONS of women interested in
the restriction Of child labor, he said,
had met with officials of the Ameri-
can federation and formed a national
conference on child labor.
They had been Informed by expert
counsel, he said, that in view Of the
Supreme courts decision, a constitu-
tional amendment will be necessary
before any adequate restrictive legis-
lation can be enacted which would
Withstand judicial scrutiny.
It is probable that the first effort to
be made by child labor champions in
congress will be to get through a reso-
luton providing for a constitutional
amendment. This, it is recognized,
will mean a long, hard fight with the
subsequent ratification necessary by
the legislatures Of the states, but they
believe it will be wise to let the mat
ter take such course, in order that
legislation, when finally enacted, will
be enduring.
