Coal Miners Ask Higher
Wage; Fatalities
Now Down Labor

Scranton, Pa, July 2l.--The anthfa
cite miners tfi-dis8let convention ha
adopted a new wage scale to replacI
their present agreement which expire
on August 81.
The new scale calls for a 10 pc
cent increase 10 tonnage men ana 5
for day men. Other features are TN
check-of system of paying dues,
two-year contract, seniority in employ
ment, and the long ton, 2,24O pounds
to replace the miners ton Of 3,l3'
pounds.
In his opening address to the cor
yention John l.. Lewis, president o.
the United Mine Workers, called al
tention TO the reputation of the Jack
sonville agreement by the Consolida
ton coal company, in which John ID
Rockefeller, jr., is large stockhold.
er; the Pittsburgh coal company, II
which Secretary of the Treasury Mel.
Ion is the most influential stockholder
and the Bethlehem mines corporation
controlled by the Bethlehem steel cor.
poration, in which Charles NJ. seirwat
IS prominent. The jacksonville agree
ment applies TO bituminous coal.
The operators are prepared Il
launch tremendous publicity cam
paign to create the impression thai
the mine workers are operpaid ano
that high wages is responsible tof Goa
prices in the eastern retail market,
said President Lewis.
at has been demonstrated by the
-ain,. "a
other agencies that wages are not re
sponsible for retail prices paid in New
England and on the Atlantic seaboaId
The spread between mine cost and de-
livery cost Is 50 great that 1t has
never yet been properly explained u
the American public, and II Ill be-
hooyes the anthracite operators 10 tell
the American people that wages must
come down 50 the public can get q
cheaper commodity"
President Lewis quoted hgufes Oh
the Pennsylvania department OF labor
TO sustain his clam that the anthfa-
cite industry is the most hazardous
IN the land. Oh the loo,UO0 workers
IN the anthracite neld oOO are killed
and between z2,U0O ana 10000 ale III
Jufed annually.
1T is a most terrible record Of hui
man suffering and misery he said.
1t means that within SIX and one
nalf OIL seven years every man III the
industry will be killed or manned.
ihls terrible record Is deserving o.
consideration from the operators anu
the American people, Tor whom the
sacfinces are made.
Only today Delegate Joyce from
district No. was compelled to re-
turn home because his 2l-yeafold son
died OF a broken back suffered In the
mines. Let the great metropolitan
press analyze the situation IN that
FAMILY. Let them understand that 800
times year that same situation Is
faced in miners homes, and that every
year $4,000 men are carried out on
stretehers from the great limb-cfush-
ing eollieries. If they do they Will
appreciate the efforts OF our organiza-
ton to secure proper compensation fol

Child Management
3-MOTHER LOVE
By DIR. |. Thorn

Interest and love alone on the part
Of the mother are not enough 10 a.
sure success in handling the innum-
cradle problems met with in the man
agement Of children. The very love
OF the mother for her child may be the
Stumbling block" that prevents her
from successfully fulfilling the obi
cations of her parenthoOd. This love
IS invariably associated with excessive
worry, anxiety, and at times, definite
fear which prevent the most intelli=
gent approach to many problems Of
childhood.
Oyer-solieitude on the part Of the
parent or parents may put the child
IN an entirely new setting. Children
may become self-centered and develop
innumefabe imaginary complaints
simply because illness is looked for
and any existing i'll health is exag-
gerated.
The study Of one little girl seen a
short time ago demonstrates this
point clearly:
Mary at seven, dominated the en-
tire household. Mother faithfully
fulfilled her slightest wish, fearing
to cross her lest she become i'll. Her
sisters patiently shouldered her share
of home duties and quietly gave way
to her at every point in order to avoid
If possible, the almost inevitable out
burst of temper which was so upset
ting to the household. Her ready
excuses for all occasions were You
muslin mind what do; you see I've
been SICK or Pm not strong enough
to do that cause I've had paralysis"
1t is true She had lived through
more than her share of illness anu
was accustomed to admiration and
interest from doctors to whom she wa
frequently shown a. an unuusal case.
Her "alibi' of i'll health helped her
over many difficult places in school,
and at home special concessions were
made for her and she was excused al
every turn. Her whole life seemed
built about this desire to hold the
center of the stage.
Through a radical change of atti-
tude on the mothers part this little
girl, who was fast developing into a
chronic complainer, has now become
a hearty, normal youngster, gayly
competing with her sisters in "help-
ing mother" trying each week to
learn to do one new task independ-
emily, and striving toward an ideal
Of robust good health rather than
desiring the role in life of "interest-
ing invalid"
After a little judicious neglect and
ignoring, the alarming physical symp-
toms which so greatly troubled the
mother vanished. The marked tremor
of Mary's hands, which made it seem
necessary that the mother feed her
each mouthful she ate, disappeared,
as also did the tremor of voice. After
determination by physical examination
of the child's condition an appeal was
made to her ambition and pride. Her
desire for attention and wish to excel
were turned away from the goal of Ill
health. With encouragement on the
part of the physician and her mother
and with faith in her ability to make
good she is now taking part in home
and school, standing on her own feet,
and learning to lace life as it is.

The number of laborers usually re

plantations for work between harvest

minimum, owing to the rigid econo-
mieal program which the majority of

low prices which they have received
for their sugar of the crop recently

Great Influence on Youth.
Inculcation of knowledge or infor-
function of the schools, especially
secondary schools, and the education
program must stress heavily the de-
velopment of proper ideals and in
terests, DIR. Calvin c. Davis, professor
of secondary education of the Uni
versity of Michigan, said.
The changing curriculum of the
secondary schools, (which is undergo
ing marvellous transformation" has
been giving concrete attention to in
struction in health and citizenship,
DR.. Davis said, and other detectives.
Referring to the incorporation of
these objectives into the curriculum.

America have eXerted so profound and

society as they are doing today"

received by 1t, is therefore, in a sense,
sacred, since IL alre ady Is earmarked
and ought normally to be deposited in
the Reichsbank, where II would
strengthen the bank, and thereby the
German economic situation, in a per-
fectly legitimate way.
Instead, the railroad company turns
over the money to a bank in which IT
owns a majority of the stock. in order
that this money may be loaned TO
private German concerns.
That this is an exact statement is
proved by the fact that of nearly 20O,-
100000 gold marks the railroad COM
pany now has on hand. 10O,OOO,0O0
marks are on deposit in the traffic
bank. Such a proceeding Is consider
ed unsound business, first, because OF
the risk of funds of the German Rail-
road Co.; second. because 1T enables
certain privileged Germans to make
money from railroad funds. and third,
because, In case the money should be
lost, the railroad company would not
be in position to meet its obliga-
tions and the German government
would have to make them good.
Therefore it is considered probable
that the German Traffic Credit Bank
may shortly be transformed, or else
cease TO exist entirely.

GILBERT PROTESTS
GERMANS BANKING
Deposit of Railroad Funds

Threatens Dawes Plan.
BY EDGAR ANsEL MowRER.


By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News.
BERLIN, February 26.--S. Parker
Gilbert. agent general of reparations,
recently has had to demonstrate with
Chancellor Luther concerning the ac-
tivities of the German Traffic Credit
Bank, an institution whose present
operations might hinder the function
ing of the Dawes plan.
The traffic bank Is a small one
founded in 1928, with a capital OF
100000 gold marks. Its purpose was
to facilitate the payment of freight
tariffs and to enable German ship
pers, by paying small interest, to de-
lay payments, the bank utilizing the
funds for a few days before. trans
ferring them to the railroads.
Since the Dawes plan went into
effect this situation has changed. The
German railroads now are a kind OF
private company with a mixed board
of directors, part of them German
and part foreign. This German rail-
road company holds 20 per cent OF
the stock of the traffic credit bank
On the bank board are represented
the German minister of commerce
the railroad company, the Deutsch
Bank, the Dresdner Bank of Com
merce and some private institutions
