these conditions are fulfilled wood is
preserved. The first form 1t takes is
peat. Peat differs from wood In that

its structure is unchanged. The Sec
ond stage of coal Is Ignite. Here the
woody structure is still discernible,
but the hardening process has gone
further. The third stage is bitumi-

stead of brown, and woody fossils in
1t are somewhat rare.

Rail Men Do More
Work, Still Company
Will Reduce Wages

OTTAWA, Can. Nov. 24.--In 10
years the number of railway employees
in Canada mas been reduced by 1907,
while in the same period the mileage
of Canadian railways has been increas-
ed by 10,469. Attention is called to
this fact by memorandum to the
Dominion railway board by the rail
way unions who are opposing a re-
duction in freight rates, asked for GER
tain manufacturing interests on the
ground that railway workers are over
paid. The memorandum draws the in
ference from the figures given that
the railway workers in Canada, as in
the United States, are giving proper
tionately greater service than before
the war.
The railway unions further deny
that railway wages are unduly high,
and assert that on the average they
are not sufficient to maintain a fair
standard OF living. Before the war
wages were 63.5 per cent OF operating
expenses. In 1923 wages formed only
so per cent Of operating costs.

CHIEF FRIENDS
OF Child LABOR
Led Unscrupulous Fight
on Amendment in Mass.
10y The Federated Press,

NEW YORK CITY, Nov. "a
Belief by a deliberately misIed
electorate that 17-year-oId boys
and girls would not be allowed
to wash dishes and make beds
or do any other work If the child
labor amendment were ratified
is blamed by the national child
labor committee for the failure
of Massachusetts to approve the
10th amendment.
Secretary owen Lovejoy
found that propaganda against
the amendment had been so I'M
scrupulous and dishonest that
an entirely erroneous idea of
the proposed change in the con-
stitution influenced the voters.
Like Southern MIL Owners.
New England manufacturers, partic-
ularly textile mill owners, are chiefly
responsible as the mill owners in
southern textile states have been for
defeating ratification in their states.
A national drive is being launched
by the national child labor commit
tee to give the facts on the 1S-year
provision of the proposed amendment.
Lovejoy states that congress is given
only the power now possessed by
states of prohibiting work OF persons
under IS so that children may be safe
guarded as far as legislation goes
against occupations morally and
physically unfit for them. Twenty
states allow children of IA and Is to
risk their lives daily at certain dan
gerous machines" says Lovejoy. I'm
SO states children under IS are al
lowed to oil, wipe or clean machinery
in motion, and 10 states allow children
under 16 to perform this extra
hazardous job"
Children Work Everywhere
Children under 16 may work on rail-
roads in 36 states, Lovejoy asserts;
20 states allow them to run elevators.
Work in or around dangerous acids,
poisons, gases, dyes, red or white
lead, dust, etc. should be prohibited
to children under IS but % states
have no laws on this subject and IA
merely prohibit Work Of children un-
| der 16 in one or two Of these oc-
equations.
Prohibition of child labor in the par
ticularly dangerous occupations is the
first and best method of preventing
occupational diseases and accidents,
declares Loveioy for the committee,
which has been working for child
labor legislation for 20 years.

HARVEY WOULD
HITCH FARMERS
TO CALvIN'S STAR
(Ry Federated Press.)

WASHINGTON, Nov. "a. - Colonel
George Harvey, who is hopeful of be-
coming secretary of state in the new
administration, proposes in an edi-
torial that the farmers can again be
lined up for Coolidge if the admins
tration will force reduction of rail
wages, thereby enabling the roads to
reduce freight rates. He admits that
this wage-slashing program will be I'M
pleasant business, but it must not
be blinked."
Harvey agrees with Coolidge that
no special session of the new con-
gress is desirable. If the president
and cabinet have things their own
way, from March until December,
Coolidge can name great many safe
people to federal commissions and
other posts where they will help to
run the country regardless of the fact
that congress may be hostile to them
and the senate may reject their ap-
pointment. The interstate commerce
commission is one to which Coolidge
can make recess appointments that
will be of the utmost Importance in
forcing railroad wage reductions next
spring.
