AN ALL-AMERICAN UNION

1t begins to look if Canada were to become
member of the Pan-American Union. The Dominion
government represented at the recent Pan-Amer
lean Commercial Congress. The 1927 session of that
congress is to be held in Canada.
There seems to be a growing feeling that the
Union too should include all America instead of eav
ing out the great nation to the north of the United
States.
Canada is more interested in South American
trade than in Pan-American politics. But in truly
friendly international relationship such as the Pan
American Union seeks build for the hemis-

INDUSTRIAL ORGANIZATION

For years there has been popular demand that
the soft coal industry, noorously loose wastetu and
Inefficient should be organized" .
Investigations have shown over and over again
that there mines and miners than the
industry needed to supply the market That situation
has resulted seasonal periods of trenzled productions
with alternating periods of deness, and regularity
in the aternation So overhead has been
needlessy large, miners have hardly averaged enough
employment to support their families, and prices to
consumers have been variable and probably on the
whole, too high
Now there is organization in sight for the big
eastern bltumlnous fields A projected merger would
bring them all into system, apparently as tight as
the present anthracite system.
There are fine possibilities in it for improving the
operatonsof the bltumnous industry. Ii they rea
lzed, the public will rejoice But organization
will not necessarily bring the millennium in that dis
tressful industry. The anthracite industry, with It's
ball-bearlng organization has been cited often
masterpiece of efficiency; and look at it now Opera
tors and miners have been deadOcked for four months
with sign of agreement and resumed production.
And that has happened many times in the past.
What good will it do the public or indeed the in
dustry itself, if complete organization of the soft coal
operators accompanied 1t probably would be by
complete organization Of the soft coal Miners followed
the anthracite example?
Any industrial organization that doesn't include
the public is sure to break down sooner or later.

KANSAS CITY, Mo, Dec. 81
\ blow that may prove fatal
to the EinStein theory of rcla,
tivity was struck when Dr.
Layton {. Miller of Cleveland,
president Of the American physical
sciety, read Il paper before the
convention of the American asso-
citation for the advancement of
science detailing an experiment he
has been carrying on top Of Mount
Wilson, California, for the last six
years.
In an exclusive interview. Dir. Mil
Ter related the results which he is
going to announce, results which, in
the opinion of scientists who have
been following Miller'S work close
lv, knock one of the chief founda-
tions out from under the EinstcIn
theory.
DR.. Miller has been working to
detect the motion of the earth and
solar system through the ether of
space. According to Einstein. it
was impossible to detect any such
motion. The whole theory of re.
lativity rests largely upon this
