Vene as Unions Put Ban
on Arbitration

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., July 81.
The threat of a national coal
strike Septmber / was as pro-
nounced today as it was on July
8 when operators and miners be-
gan their negotiations on the main
issue which Is the wage scale.
The joint conference, it was freely
asserted, is heading straight for
Fedral Intervention.
President Coolidge ultimately will
have to handle the controversy,
much as he dislikes to become in
volved, it was declared by those in
close touch with the situation.
Arbitration" will be the opera
tors plea when the miners repre-
sentatives get through making all
their demands.
Union officials, however, are dead
set against arbitration.
They feel they cannot get the ten
per cent wage increase they are
after through arbitration.
If arbitration is the last resort,
their spokesman say, there will be
suspension in the anthracite
fields.
This morning union officitls be-
gan presentation of their last two
demands. These include payment
for refuse in all kinds of mining
and establishment of the five-day
work week to permit working of
the usual average number of DAYS
per year
Adjournment will be taken until
next Tuesday when It is expected
the operators will make their for
NAL reply.

Children are his love. He has
four of his own, besides the
"Mooseheart' family. Conserva-
ton of youth is his fetch. Let
a movement start to improve child
hygienics, or to remove child haz-
ards, and Secretary Davis viii be
found in the van, giving it his I'M
divided support. The contamination
of this love is evidenced at Moose
heart" which he founded for
friendless waits and built with sub
scriptions obtained from 100000
members of his order.
Educates Children
Under Davis personal direction,
approximately $6,5O0.000 was spent
on the home. Davis was not salts
fled with just a home for the
youngsters. He insisted that a
high school be maintained there so
the waits might be properly edu-
Gated. With this acquired, he in
sisted manual training school be
added SO the youngsters could
learn a trade before going out into
the world. Both additions were
made under his direction.
The Secretary is frequent
visitor at "Mooseheart." He loves
to roam through the corridors OF
the home, children running before
him and after him, with a dozen
clinging to his hands.
There is drama in this Davis
love for children. The Secretary
cannot forget his own childhood.
when he worked as boy in the
glaring fires of a puddle mill. He
is known today among his init
mates as "Puddler Jim and he
bears that nickname as other great
men do a famous university de-
gree. He remembers the weary
DAYS of blast furnaces, the long
hours of handling white-hot metal,
his constant desire for something
better.
Now his code for all children is:
"Every boy and every girl is
entitled to at least a high school
education. Every boy should be
taught some trade"
This is the Davis prescription for
a better manhood and womanhood
and a better America.
Loves Music
That is another Davis hobby,
ronsic-rood music. He loves
grand opera, but, above all. Welsh
choral music. He has a penchant
for helping youngsters to musical
education. In one instance, he
even sent a protege abroad to study
under the European masters. He is
especially active in all Welsh
Eistedfodds-the Welsh singing So
cieties-and the Gorsedd. He is a
high official of the National Eisted-
todd.
The Secretary is also an ardent
golfer. Aside from ronps with his
family, golf furnishes him with
