Mine Editor
 And Agent Man
 Scrap Out Coal

Ellis Searles, editor of the United Mine Workers Journal, and Byron R. Newton, an employee of the An thracite Information Bureau, de- bated the question: Resolved, That the coal miner should receive better wages" before 1000 members and guests of the Government Club in the Hotel Astor yesterday. The de- bate was broadcast by radio. Mrs. George E. Owens presided. The vote on the question was Fl yes to 80 no, and, as to which sustained the better argument, Mir. Searles, 100 and MT. Newton, 46.
 "The newspapers do not want to print the operators story,' said MT. Newton. "They might get another pressman's' strike if they did"
 When this statement was chal- lenged from the floor, MT. Newton said he did not know definitely why the operators case was not presented as he thought it should be.
 MT. Newton said John L. Lewis could not escape a share of the re- sponsibility for the Herrin massacre. MT. Searles laid it all to paid Com munist organizers.
 MT. Newton said the miners are the highest paid men in any basic industry, comparing the $7.50 day rate for soft coal miners with the $2.67 paid packing house employees. MT. Searles quoted United States Coal Commission to show the miner could not average better than $1 500 year. *
 Unknown to most of the audience, MT. Lewis, President of the United Mine Workers, his secretary and Mrs. Lewis attended.

Thugs Caused March;
 Killed Two Miners

Fayetteville, W. Va., March B. The killing of two miners by coal owners gun men caused the march of miners in 1921, according to testi- mony at the trial of Frank Keeney, president of the West Virginia miners, who is charged with murder in connection with the march. It was brought out that Keeney pleaded with the miners to abandon their mad enterprise. The coal owners attorneys fought against admitting this testimony, but they were over ruled by the court.
 One of the star witnesses for the coal owners is J. E Wilburn, a miner and unschooled mountain preacher. He was convicted of second-degtee murder last year and sentenced to II years in the penitentiary. Then he deserted the union, and has been testifying for the coal owners. At the Keeney trial he was enmashed in his previous statements and was com pelled to admit he committed per jury. Wilburn is quartered at the best hotel in this place, and taxi is at his disposal.
 The Keeney trial is financed by the coal owners and associate corpora tions. The coal owners attorneys have charge of the trial.

 Stevedores Put Out

Washington, March 8.-The act of Congress of 1922 providing that em- ployes engaged in loading or unload ing ships other than actual members of the crew were not governed by maritime laws and might be covered by the workmen's compensation laws of the various states, was held un- constitutional by the supreme court Justice Brandeis dissented.
 The question was brought up by the Industrial Accident commission of California to compel the. James Rolph company of San Francisco to compensate under the California law a stevedore, Eugene Hayes, killed, while employedq on a ship in the harbor.
 The court upheld the ancient prin- ciple that "a mans home is his cas- tle' by restoring to Fred P. Violette of Montana, a small ranch which pro- hibition agents had seized and offered Violette was operating still and making liquor.
 The lower courts had upheld the seizure. Violette denied the charges and had claimed invasion of his rights by the dry officers.

Newspaper Workers Get Highest Pay

Boston, March 8.-Employes of newspaper plants continue to lead all others of the state in wage average, according to a report of state depart ment of labor and industries issued. In part the reason for this position at the head of the list is due to the general high average of wages and in part by the fact that there are fewer women employed in this than in most other industries, thus cutting little from the total average of the men.
 Men in newspaper work average $34.53, women $26.66. Job printers are the only workers of the state to go above the figure for men, reach ing an average of $35.74, but falling off on general average due to the women's average of $22.56, bringing the general average to $32.O4.
 The lowest paid employment in the state, among the industries, is that. under the heading of "women's clothing for here the figure reads $19.O4. Yet the men make $25.9O, but women are held to an average of $15.48 and their proportionate num- Der is higher. The women go below this average in the boot and shoe factories, the figure falling to $14.20, and dropped to their most meager average in the slaughtering and meat-packing business where they re- ceiyed but $13.62. In that industry, however, their work is a slight pro- portion, totaling but 89 women to 14O3 men engaged.

 INTO MIXER GETS
 COMPENSATION

Hartford, March 8.-Commissioner George R. Chandler has decided in fa- vor of the claimant in the compensa- ton case of August Stein of No. 31 Wethersheld avenue against the Vienna Bakery of No. 574 Park street after re- peated hearings and nearly a year s consideration of the case Stein is to receive $8.75 a week for a period not longer than 520 weeks, the time allowed by the compensation act.
 The case has presented numerous diff faculties due to the firm having failed to insure its employees under the compen- sation act or to file notice with the com missioner of financial responsibility. and to the act that the concern, since the accident, has filed a petition in bank ruptcy. Previous to the commissioners decision the firm offered to compromise offering amounts unsatisfactory to the claimant.
 Stein was injured in May of last year. being caught in power bread mixer, suffering sever hurts which later resulted in the arnputation of his right leg, paralysis of the arm, paralysis of several nerves and tissues throughout his body and minor injuries to the chest. The respondents claimed that the in juries were in measure due to intoxi- cation of the claimant and to incompe- tency. These claims were overruled by the commissioner
 The ward, it is said, will be paid from the bankruptcy dividends which amount to about 1 cent on each dollar involved. An attachment in favor of the claimant has been placed on the machinery and other possessions of the firm by John F. Harbison, the claimants lawyer.

Leaders Divided
 Over New Party to
 Give Labor Rights

Albany, March 8.-Organization of third party in order that "the working men and women may receive what is coming to them" was advo- cated by James P. Holland, president of the New Yrk State Federation of Labor, who addressed the state labor conference for progressive political action in the Labor temple. MT. Holland said that in the past legisla- ton for betterment of the laboring people had been sidetracked. He re- ferred to southern Democratic re- sponsibility for removal of the child labor law from the statute books.
 s'There is no indication," said Will liam E. Fitzsimmons, counsel for the railroad brotherhoods, "that third party would be any more honest than the two existing ones. do not advo- cate organization of 8 third party, but urge labor to endeavor to write their principles into the platforms of the existing parties. If labor is ac- tive in the parties of the present then the things in these parties which la bor objects will gradually disappear.
 Two hundred delegates including representatives for the sixteen recog- nized railroad brotherhoods attended the legislative hearing on bills pro- viding forty-eight hour working week for women and children, and min imum wage commission.

CONVENTION ENTHUSIASTIC FOR LABOR BANl
Women Up
 Child Labor Law

At an open meeting of the Hart ford Council of Catholic Women yes terday afternoon in the community house, No. 244 Main street, the coun- Sil authorized a committee, of which Miss Mary P. O'Flaherty is chairman, to study the local child labor problem and, if found advisable, to present an appeal to Wilbur F. Gordy, chair man of the board of education. The appeal would urge the adoption by the local board of education of a measure similar to the action taken by the New London board of school visitors. The New London board has taken steps to keep children in the schools at least through the seventh and eighth grades provided the pu- pills are under 16. The board retains the power, however, to exercise it's discretion in making exceptions to that ruling in special cases.
 The action of the local council followed two addresses on the sub ject of child labor. Mrs. Howard E. Critchfield of West Hartford ex- plained fully the proposed constitu- tional amendment which would give Congress the power to establish min- imum standards for child labor as re- gards age and conditions of employ ment. The proposed amendment, endorsed by many organizations throughout the country, is in the hands of the judiciary committees of both the House and the Senate.
 Two child labor laws have already been declared unconstitutional and the present amendment, Mrs. Critch- field said, seeks to give Congress power to ensure to children of the country opportunity for proper phy- sical and mental development. She told how several states had child labor laws but said that in all states there is need of regulation which could be brought about by national standard.
 Miss Welles Speaks.
 Miss Mary C. Wells, secretary of the of Connecticut industrial con- ditions as regards child labor and their relation to the proposed amend ment. She explained the economic disadvantage of employers hiring young children. Children under 16 years old are too playful and too un- reliable, she said, and go from one job to another. The consequent large turnover is costly, she said.
 The meeting was in the charge of the executive board, Mrs. Matthew Hynes, chairman; Miss Grace O'DeI, Mrs. Hugh Cummings, Miss Helen Kane and Mrs. Maurice Welch. Miss Josephine St. John arranged the mus ical program which included violin solos by Mrs. Alice Greenveld and vocal solos by Miss Teresa Fitzgerald Miss Mabel R. Collins played the piano accompaniments. Tea was served after the meeting. Many guests were present from Hartford and surrounding towns.

Andy 7 Kelly Real. Labor
 Man Dies
Great Outpouring of Friends and sMagniGcent' Floral Tributes
 Testify to His Loyalty.

Andrew P. Kelly for many years New Englands most prominent labor leader in the railroad crafts, died and was buried this week after an illness of more than two years duration during which he attempted to. keep up to his former activity, but his heart, as big IS he was himself, wouldn't allow it. He finally went west to specialist in hope of being cured but died after a two weeks treatment. At his dying re- quest he was buried rom the church i'll which he was christened and was long a member, although at the time of his death a member of a parish in anotehr town. Mir. Kelly was so wei thought of as a man and churchman that special order was passed by the Bishop. of the Catholic diocese of Connecticut, arrang- ing for the change in funeral rites.

He was elected General chairman about 1899. He represented his lodge in all the national conventions of the organization up to 1917, when he was made a Grand Lodge officer, where he was constantly called upon to settle labor disputes, for his Brotherhood on all railroads in this country, Canada and Mexico.
 Mir. Kelly continued to advance in the Grand Lodge, where he demonstrated his great capacity, until he resigned from its ardous duties as vice-president of the organization in 1911, to go into busi- ness in the West He was continued on the Executive Board, however, for period of three years after resigning the office of vice-president.
 Mir Kelly's integrity, honesty and business ability to handle large problems in the business world as we'll as in or ganizations of this kind and in the la bor world field was soon recognized by J. w. Reid, contractor of railroad labor on the Rock Island R. R., who, in a very short sace of time, took MT. Kelly in as full artner of tphe fir unknown as Reid and Kelly, where he remained until advised by his physician that he must resign from business O all kinds, due to his failing health, and that he must re- turn to his home for long period of est.

FOREIGN CREDITORS
 UNITE TO COLLECT
Progress Being Made In Fund.-
 ing Rumanian Trade Debts


 BUCHAREST, Rumania, Feb. B. By Associated Press. )-Progress is be- ing made in the matter of funding the trade debts contracted in foreign cur rencies by Rumanian importers during the three years immediately following the war. Agfeements were reached in 1923 with British. Swiss and French creditors for refunding operations to extend over periods ranging from 20 to 26. years. Italian interestss also are seeking method of adjustment. but Belgian. Czech and Dutch creditors ap- pear to be taking no concerted action.
 Nothing, however, has apparently yet been done to bring American creditors as a body into touch with the so-ealled Commission for Regulating the Pay ment of Foreign Commercial Indebted. ness Contracted in Strong Currencies." which makes it's headquarters at the National Bank of Rumania, and of which MT. Oromulu, the governor of the National Bank, is chairman Many American exporters are known to have substantial claims Outstanding against Rumanian merchants, and attempts have been made by several of them to have recourse to the courts for settle- ment. But form of moratorium law still is in effect here, preventing court action by foreign commercial creditors against their Rumanian debtors.

 I've tried all kinds of sports-base ball, boxing, swimming, tennis and ] even took fling at football once. But personally I register vote in favor of running as the ideal pastime and the most effective way of keeping fit. Al the Schulberg Studios, where I spend most of my day, devote one hour al least to sprinting around in indoor track in the gymnasium that has been fitted up in one section of the great building.

I've only been in Hollywood a few months, having done practically all of my screen work in the east, so haven't lived here long enough to stop making observations. One of the first things 1 noticed about film folks in the film colony here was the light in which nearly every one of them regards exercise-namely, disagreeable form of discipline they must impose upon themselves in order to, stand the long hours and arduous work of the studios.
 All of which is point of view that I don't share, possible because all ways preferred gymnasium hour to any other part of the daily routine when I was in high school in Brooklyn. Con sequently, since I've been in the movies I haven't found it hard task at all to do my own little daily dozen. For tunately, it continues to be fun.
 While l was a kid (before I reached the ripe old age of IS a couple of months ago) there were times when l had a distinct ambition to be an ath- letic instructor. I've tried all sorts and forms of exercising just for my own amusement. so | used to think that with a little serious practical might qualify to teach gymnastics.
 But there's no use of speaking or
