Comment and Criticism About Thing.
 Doing ;n the World.

More proof that mining disasters can be prevented.
 Dr. George Rice, Chief Engineer of the Bureau of Mines, recently urged the House Mines Committee to devise more rigid inspection regulations to prevent mine explosions.
 In Belgium, where the mines are said to be the most gas-infested in the world, there have been no explosions for 25 years due to better regulations, Dr. Rice declared.
 What Belgium has done shows that any nation can end or minimize mine disas- ters. It's up to the United States to do as well as little Belgium in protecting its miners and the longer we delay action, the greater will be our shame. How badly industry is managed is ex- ernp1ihed by the action of the New York New Haven and Hartford railroad in laying off 2,250 employees in order, as the Boston News Bureau says, "to keep within the budget
 Presumably no provision has been made for the living expenses of the hap1ess workers who have been given a "vaca- tion' for the benefit of the New Haven's budget. They and their families must exist as best they may. What this is like 1y to lead to in bodily and mental distress only those directly concerned can know.
 The laying off of the New Haven's workers is the sort of thin that inten- sifes the demand for Government rule of industry It emphasizes the need for the setting of it's own house in order by in dustry itself. If industry really knew how to govern itself, lay-offs would be infrequent. instead of common, as at present and If there was no way of avoiding them, provision would be made for the workers forced to re- main idle
 Industry must govern itself to give jus tice to it's workers and service to the nation, else Government will seek to re- gulate its activities. Indutsry must measure up to modern conditions As Secretary of Commerce Hoover told the Chamber of Commerce of the United States:

To Dedicate Memorial to Late Presi-
 dent on May 90.

Scranton, Pa, May 24-The me late John Mitchell, former president of the United Mine Workers of Amer ica, will be dedicated in this city on May 30.
 The memorial is a iife-size statue oi the well-known trade unionist in a characteristic pose. On each side of the base of the statue, striking incl dents in the life of the miner and his family are depicted.
 A parade will precede the cere- monies. Secretary Treasurer Green of the United Mine Workers is chairman of the committee in charge.
 The speaking program will be held at the site of the memorial, located in court house square. The principal ad- dress will be made by President Lewis of the United Mine Workers. Other speakers will include Governor Pinchot and President Gompers of the A. F. of L. The memorial was designed and ex- ecuted by Charles Neck, chairman of the fine arts committee of New York, and was authorized by the 1919 con vention of the United Mine Workesr. The memorial will cost $60,000. This money was contributed by the miners.

instructions received by the company from the Producers Association. As the union refused to yield the right to | be represented by persons of their own choice, and since Mr. Tompkins was also not empolyed by Fl Aguila com pany but represented an outside insti- tuition, the conferences came to an end on March 16. Since then the Aguila company has refused to resume the conferences.
 Company Not Free Agent, Says Statement.
 The Department of Industry, Com merce and Labor issued the following statement on April "A:
 This departments view is to the eff feet that Fl Aguila's representatives are under all influence which does not permit them an independent and defin- ite discussion of the points at issue, and from this has resulted their vac illations and hesitations to discuss openly and categorically the ground which the company is willing to yield, thus marking a field of action for the company and the workmen.'
 The Mexico City newspaper, Ex- celsior, published in it's issue of April 25 statement from a represent tative of the Mexican Federation of Labor. It reads as follows:
 We are not so stupid as to declare Ia general strike, for that would only snatisfy the wishes of Fl Agui1a com pany-. However, if it insists in its present attitude, the Aguila concern will be the only sufferer We readily understand the game now being play ed by the American Producers Asso- ciation with the company. The asso- ciation IS trying to ruin the company by encouraging 1t with its support to reject the workmen's demands, with out taking into account that the action of the workmen will be directed soley against Fl Aguila company.
 No General Strike, Labor Men
 Declare.
 The company, under the influence of the Producers Association, has re- fused to settle the conflict, and has striven only to aggravate it, in the be- lief that we will declare a general strike which will affect the interests of other petroleum companies; but noth- ing of this will happen.
 The boycott for Fl Aguila company products will extend throughout the continent, and will affect it's markets in North, Central and South America. :" Regarding reports of the interven- 1 tion of high officials of Fl AguiIa com pany in the recent rebellion, the Mex ican government has ordered, an inves- tigation which has not yet been con cluded. The only result known up to this time is the expulsion of high official of Fl Aguila company residing at Puerto, Mexico.

NO-PARTY PLAN IN FAVOR;
 LABOR TO PICK FEM OUT

San Francisco, May 24-The State Federation of Labor, railroad brother hoods and organized farmers are or ganizing the state in accord with the non-partisan policy of the American Federation of Labor. The last con- vention of the State Federation of Labor rejected the state labor party plan, and the state building trades unions have taken the same position Local conferences are being formed in every section .of the state, and these are joined to the state conference.
 A circular issued by the state con- ference declares that it is the duty of each local conference to carefully ex- anAne the record of all incumbents."
 If their record makes them worthy of reelection, they should be sup ported, regardless of party af1liation If their record Is bad they should be defeated, and progressive men anc women must be induced to enter the contest in. the August primary cleo tion."

sion in the New England textile indus try can be traced to over-capitaliza- ton, mismanagement and faulty distri- button.
 "The test of our whole economic and
 social system is its, capacity to cure its
 own abuses"
 Mr. McMahon said that many mills
 made undreamed of profits during the
 war but instead of conserving their re-
 sources they paid huge dividends. Every dollar possible was taken out of the in dustry, and no provision was made for replacement of equipment, with the result that the machinery is now out of date.
 Despite this, the mill barons propose to
 go on competing with modern machin- cry in other districts. To do this, they threaten to slash wages.
 New England's textile barons won't
 get much sympathy. from labor. Appar-
 ently they brought their troubles upon themselves and instead of weeping and wailing, they should be facing the situa-
 ton courageously and striving to rem edy the evils which aff1ict their indus try. Instead they are seeking Ito pass
 the buck" to the workers and make
 them accept lower wages. But they forget that the workers will have I something to. say about any wage
 cuts and that labor in general
 is no more disposed to accept unfair  wages than it was in the years following i the Arnistice when certain employers

 An inhabitant of Mars who visited the United States for the first time ! might we'll believe that our principal occupation was the passing of laws. ! Dr. John F. Coar, executive secretary
 of the Liberal Lagu,e, estimates that
 there are 2,000 laws on the statute books of the national and state gov ernments. As remedy for this situa- tion Dr. Coar advocated the repeal of ! two laws for every new one passed. The average citizens, as he views the attempted regulation of virtually
 everything from the wagging of a dogs tail to the movements of the
 Heavenly bodies, might be disposed
 to go further than Dr. Coar and ad-
 vocate the repeal of at least half a
 dozen existing laws for every new one
 inflicted upon the nation. Then there

FEDERAL WORKERS
 PAY TOO MUCH RENT

Washington, May 24.-Federa1 eni- ployes in the District of Columbia are paying two-thirds of their wages for rent, said Assistant Attorney General Underwood in urging Justice Stafford not to enjoin the enforcement of the rent regulation law, that has been ex- tended by congress.
 MT. Underwood told the court there are 65,OO0 government employees who receive an average wage of $1 ,408 a year. Instead of paying one-fourth of this amount for rent, they are now paying nearly two-thirds, said MT. Underwood

LIKE GONG'S SOUNDS

When using dry cell tubes. such
as the WD11 and WD12. you will
notice that whenever the table on
which the set is resting is given a

sound like that Of a gong.
This is caused inside the tube and
is called a micrphonic tube noise,
and can be avoided by mounting
] Nhe tube socket onto a fairly thick
piece of felt or rubber, which will
take the jar in place Of the tube.

But there was one young chap
who picked up his violin-the only
stringed instrument in either his

pulsating into the microphone in a
manner that must have caused the
famous director to wonder.
A boy cornetist and a boy saxo-

weren't entirely drowned out.
