HOPE TO MAKE
 AMENDMENT AS A GOMPERS MEMORIAL
Discussion in New York as to Possi- bility of Passing of Child Labor
 Bill In His Memory.

New York labor circles, stirred by the last words of Samuel Gompers, God bless our American institutions, may they grow better day by day, and the funeral oration of Rabbi Stephne s. Wise in which he charac- terized MT Gompers as "a frontiers man of liberty" are discussing the pos sibility of making the passage of the Child Labor Amendment a memorial to Mir Gompers' long devotion to lib- erty and America.
 Mir Gompjers was chairman of the Permanent Conference for the Abol- ition of Child Labor at the time of his death, and had done more than any one man in furthering its passage. It was recalled that Mir Gompers was opposed to communism in America and in the labor movement. It IS felt that the passage of the amendment will be a fitting tribute to his interest in the welfare of the unprotected

2,5OO Workers Killed In U. s.
 Coal Mines

Washington, Jan. 10-There were 2,452 workers killed in the coal mines of the United States during 1925 ac- cordlng to report on coa1--mine fatalities just issued by the United States Bureau of Mines. The figures are based on reports submitted by mine officials of the coalproducing states.
 Falls of roof and coal are listed as the dominating causes for nearly one half of the fatalities, 1,158 men meet ing death by this agency.
 It IS apparent from the report that practically most of the fatalities would have been prevented had the mine owners put into practice modern mine safety science, applied and admins tered by mine safety experts whose major purpose Is safety for the miners rather than profits for the mine owners
 It has been said that the best way to reduce railroad accidents would be to place railroad director on each and every cow-catcher. Perhaps mine fatalities would be appreciably reduced If directors of the mine corporations were compelled to work in each mine in the places regarded as most danger OuS

 The board said that under the law the labor organizations had the right Q force an agreement by strike and the carrier has the right to determine its course of action.
 J. H. Dyer, general manager of the Southern Pacific, wired the board that he was not a party to the request for a suspension of the settlement
