Last Straw
WITH
APO} Ns<iIES

One straw sometimes turns
the scale and breaks the camePS
back. And the camel is usually
a good faithful old cuss and is
used to standing a whole lot of
cussing and beating without
much kicking or retaliating.
But when the time does come
to revolt, they say he is apt to
raise merry h generally, and
then the fellows who piled on
that extra straw had better look
o little out and jump for cover,
Some people do not hesitate
Just now to accuse the Logan
Gas Co. of being a first-class
camel loader, not content with
dropping on an extra straw OF
two but with dumping on an en-
tire good sized stack.
1t is argued that most OF the
gas consumers have acted far
and square with the Logan peo-
ple. The Citizens Committee
and the Trades Assembly each
agreed that the Company was
entitled to and should receive a
fair return upon the investment
claimed to have been made, and
recommended a favorable action
bv the City Council year ago :;
b1t this latest demand for anOth
er big increase in rates, even
while a former one yet remains
unsettled, is regarded as too
much of good thing which may
result in fatally injurlng the
goose which laid the golden egg,
if not killing the bird outright.
If a fellow is crowded too
much it is possible he may Jump
the traces and strike' out in a
new direction, and iti is also
possible and not altogether i'm
probable that a few thousand
gas users may cast aside their
gas appliances and return once
more to the dirty but reliable
and dependable old coal stove.
Less likely things have hap
pened in the past and may be
repeated in the future.

News Review of
Current Events
Mississippi Valley States De-
mand Completion of
Waterway Projects
BY EDWARD w. PICKARD

DRESIDENT COOLIDGE, in his ad-
dress before the New York state
chamber of commerce, put develop
ment Of the country's waterways in
the forefront of his program. And
last week the Mississippi Valley asso-
citation. in session in St Louis, eIab-
Grated on this with the utmost en-
thusiasm. The delegates. who com
prised the leading men of the Middle
West, served notice on congress that
they have ceased to beg from it for
the carrying out of such great prof.
ects as the Chicago -tO-the-Gulf water
way. Now they are demanding, and
on the funds necessary to carry out
the inland waterway plans, a fixed
policy for their completion within five
years, and national plan Gy which
such q policy could not be thwarted
by any bureau or department. The
association put itself on record to that
effect, and in discussion of the last
clause some of the delegates took oc
casion to say some very severe things
about the director of the budget.
President James E. Smith in his an
nual address said some of these
things, and so did Senator James Reed
and Roy Miller, vice president Of the
Intra Costal Canal Association Of
Louisiana and Texas.
The congressman from the 26 states
represented in the convention were
asked to urge the President to put wa
terways completion in his annual mes
sage. The association also decided to
put on a campaign for the purpose of
showing to the public the practical
benefits of waterways and to urge CO.
operation with the railways. Division
of rates is desired, but not railroad
ownership of the water lines.
Chicago's right to divert water from
Lake Michigan came to the front and
was warmly defended by Congressman
Newton of st. Louis, though he based
1t on the needs Of navigation rather
than of sanitation. He declared per-
manent flow of 10000 cubic feet
minute through the Chicago river and
the drainage canal was virtually need
ed to raise the levels of the Missis-
sippi, and he told the delegates the 26
states must get behind Chicago in
this battle for their own salvation. He
asserted that there is no longer lake

MINERS CHIEF TELLS PRESIDENT
OPERATORS VIOLATE CONTRACT

Washington, D. Gin letter to
President Coolidge, John L. Lewis,
president of the United Mine Work
ers, calls the chief executives atten-
ton to the contract breaking policy of
l. aiding bituminous operators. They
have repudiated three-year agree
ment signed last year. The depart
ments of commerce and labor lent
their moral force in the negotiation
of the contract.
The president is asked it the gov
ernment desires to intervene to mai'i
tain the integrity of this agreement,
which was supposed to bring peace in
the soft coal fields.
The leading contract breakers are
the Pittsburgh Coal company, tn
Consolidated Coal company, the Beth
lehem Mines corporation and the corI
interests of the Buffalo, Rochester &
Pittsburgh railroad. These are tht
four largest coal-producing groups in
the nation.
"If it should occur that the federal
government is disposed not to inter-
vene for the protection of meritori-
Gus wage agreement" said President
Lewis, "might the mine workers be-
lieve that their own efforts in that
direction may be considered as being
justified?
"To attain their immoral objective,
these companies, and certain other Of

Can Add Twenty
Years to Life
Doctors Say
Experiments Being Conducted in
New York State to Prove
Truth of Claim

New York-The latest discoveries
Of medicine and sanitation can extend
the average span of human life, said
DR.. Hugh S. Cumming, surgeon gen
eral of the United States public
health service, to physicians at a
health conference here.
DIR. Cummings address was COM
mentary on reports of experiments in
Syracuse and Cattaraugus county to
see whether 20 years can not be add
ed to the average life span by scien-
tific care.
In Cattaraugls county, DR.. Cum
ming said the death rate has been
reduced by $50 persons per year at a
cost of only $14,400, and the popu-
lation is but $4,000. The saving of
American citizens at a cost of less
than $50 per life saved is good busi-
ness, he said
Through the demonstrations in
that county," continued DR.. Cum
ming, Sufficient evidence is at hand
to show that properly conducted
county health work will yield a re-
markable dividend in the protection
and promotion Of human health and
in money saving to the community
amounting to many times it's cost.
Other communities are meeting their
health problems in accordance with
the same general principles. Now is
the opportune time to proclaim: GO

lesser consequence, have utilized CO.
ercive and oppressive methods. Their
actions have been destructive of con-
fidence between employer and en-
ployed and constitute an unwarranted,
indefensible blow at the universally
recognized principle of collective bar
gaining.
"The federal government upon oc-
casion. and from time to time, has in
tervened in the coal industry. Not
alone the operators, but the miners,
have felt the weight of it's influence
and regulated their policies accord
ingly In all respect, the mine work
ers now inquire whether the federal
government desires to intervene to
maintain the morality and integrity of
the existing agreement in the bitum-
inous coal industry"
This is the second time that Pres
ident Lewis had called upon federai
officials to take cognizance Of con-
tract breaking by the soft coal oper-
ators.
In the last annual report of the
secretary of commerce reference was
made to the cooperation by that de-
partment when the agreement was
signed. The report says that "the in
dustry is now on the road to stabili-
zation" and ''no better example of co
operation to secure the elimination Of
national waste can be presented"
