TIME TO USE BIG
STICK, HAMMOND
Chairman of Federal Coal Com
mission Says Threatened
Walkout Must Be Blocked


WASHINGTON, Aug. 3O.-The
time has come for the government
to use the big stick on the coal
industry, in the opinion Of John
Hays hammond, chairman Of the
United States Coal Commission,
and other members of that body
who have been laboring to prevent
a walkout Of anthracite miners
Sept. l.
Executive action, following
emergency authorization by Con
gress, is suggested by Hammond
approved by other members Of the
commission, by which the govern
ment, in a situation such as. exists
today in the anthracite fields,
would take over the operation OF
the mines and the transportation,
distribution and marketing Of the
coal.
THE time has certainly come to
establish control in the anthracite
industry" says Hammond.
Coal is quite as much a public
necessity as gas, street railway
service, or other services or com
modities that have been brought
under public regulation.
The guiding principle in coal
production as in these other enter
prises must no longer be maximum
profit to the owners, but maximum
service to the public.
"What is clear in the present
situation is that the public inter
est in the operation of the mines
must be respected and served, and
that this requirement places Iimi-
tations on the rights of owners of
coal lands, coal operators, mine
workers, carriers and dealers alike.
The president of the United
States should be authorized bv Con
gress to declare that national
emergency exists whenever through
the failure Of operators and min
ers in the anthracite industry to
agree upon terms of employment or
for any other reason there is 4
SUSPENSION of mining operations
seriously interrupting the normal
supply of anthracite fuel and to
take over the operation of the
mines and the transportation, dis
tribution and marketing of the
product, with full power to deter
mine the wages to be paid to mine
workers, the prices at which the
coal shall be sold and, subject to
court review, the compensation to
be maid to land and mine owners"

will result in the calling of a spe-
cial session of Congress by Presi-

VALDOSTA, August 30.--The
county commissioners of Madison
county at their last meeting decid-
ed that they would not pay for
clay pits along the right of way

say that out of this appropriation
they can not pay for clay. They
appeal to the people of the county
to assist them by not making charg-
cs for such dirt.

SELECT WELL THE
REPRESENTATIVE
So Says Speaker Of ths House,
Frederick H. Gillett

Washington, Feb, si,-As the sick
man. discouraged. becomes the easy
prey Of the auaek. so the citizen. dis.
eentented. becomes the ready mark OF
The demagogue. Speaker Frederick IL,
diilett OF the house today told the
citizens OF this country In q message
given 10 the Rotary clubs OF the eoun-
try. Don't let your discomfort lead
You 10 biindly follow the first man
who promises a panaeea," adds the
speaker, THE auaek and the dema-
eogue alike always follow one method,
They paint sympathetieally your suf-
ferings. which are real. In order to
win your confidence in their remedy.
which Is generally chimerieai."
Speaker Gillett's message was on
the subject OF the individual citizens
responsibility for legislation. He said:
THE individual citizens RESPONSE
bility for legislation Is mainly In
direct We are not q democracy. we
are q republic. We elect representa-
tives TO legislate for us. And tho
first duty and responsibility of the
citizen towards legislation Ia 10 select
well his representative.
The other chief responsibility OF
the citizen u to keep informed on
questions OF legislation.
yet In drawing your conclusions
you should not be too assured. In
this enormous country OF ours with
ITS sectional differences. It's racial
prejudices. and its class jealousies an
unbiased and all embracing vision Is
difficult. Don't assume that all legis-
lntion which seems TO favor your spe-
cial interest must be right. or must
be permanently beneficial even to you.
Try to look on all sides. When keen
ly conscious that wrongs exist II is
natural to support the first plausible
project for righting them. But as the
sick man discouraged becomes the
easy prey of the quack. so the citizen
becomes the ready mark
Of the demagogue.
Therefore, your responsibility as
an individual requires you to select
well your representative, and to study
The problems of legislation.
