AUTOMOBILES
COST NOTHING
CONTENTION
Creations Of Human Re-
sources Which Would Other
wise Have Been Wasted

: Jamestown. NJ D.. Jan. 26.-t4r.,
That the 2O,00O,OOO automobiles own.
cd by Americans have actually cost
them nothing is the contention of
certain members or t.e sociology
class at jamestown College here who
nave started warm argument on the
subject.
Their contention is that automo-
biles and other modern luxuries, such
as radio sets, moving pictures and
other creations "are almost wholly
new creations out of our human re-
sources such as inventive genius, or
ganlzing ability, managerial skill and
working power. things which other:
wise would have gone to waste If
not SO used.
In brief on the subject students
on the affirmative side admit that
some raw material has been used up
parison with the labor element and
probably as much new iron ore has
been discovered and uncovered as
has been used.
Some of the Arguments
AS further proof of the sound
ness Of their argument they point
Uut WHuI iADOT HdS UoL uGeU LTdHS-
ferred from other industries. Food
clothing, shelter, transportation, cdu-
cation entertainment, furniture, ma
chimes, art objects and other articles
have either held their own or in
creased. The postwar luH in house
building now has been made up, or
nearly SO, and little new labor has
been imported.
"On the contrary the epoch of
greatest production corresponds to
the period OF declining immigration.
OF course there have been new debts
created but they are owed by one
class Of Americans to other Amer
leans. We have not borrowed from
abroad but are lending more abroad
than ever before. Socially. then,
the enormous new wealth is all abs0-
lutely ours.
People Made Happier
"Nor has there been a subjective
cost in toll. fatigue and deprivation
Of the producers Of new luxuries.
Men of genius and talent have expe-
rienccd in increased degree the JOY
pf creation and achievement; hand
workers have been healthier and hap
pier than if they had been on the
tramp hunting jobs; working days
have been shortened; and the value
of leisure time has been greatly en-
hanced by the very products of the
steadier work. "A 4O-milc spin in
the evening with his family invigo-
rates worker so that the next, day
in the factory is not as fatiguing as
it used to be-"

LEWIS SEES
SUDDEN END
OF STRIKE
All Depends on Attitude of
Operators at Conference
Called for Today

Philadelphia, Jan. 20 tR)-In an.
other effort to settle the anthracite
strike 4 conference of operators and
miners Was called to meet at D
m. today.
John l.. Lewis, president Of the
United Nine Workers, at whose re-
quest the call was issued. said last
night that if the operators spokes.
men would waive their insistence on
arbitration of wages the strike would
end 20 minutes after the meeting op.
ened. 1t is the third attempt by the
two groups to adjust their differ
ences.
"A new pressure of public opinion
exerted within the last as hours,
am certain" said Mr.. Lewis, "wil
have clarified the atmosphere fol
our negotiations and will be sur.
prised If changed spirit does not
prevail in the joint conference"
Others did not share the optimism nj
of the miners leaders.
Operators Oppose Lynett Plan
The operators made it plain be.
fore giving their assent to resump.
tion of negotiations that the peace
plan Of +. j. Lynett, Scranton pub.
Usher, was not acceptable to them
This plan, accepted in principle by
the mine workers as basis for ne.
gotiations, apparently was the onl.
one ready for presentation to the
joint meeting.
The operators chief objections te
the Lynett proposal, which provides
for the immediate resumption OF
work at the old wage scale, are tha,
the same wages continue in effec,
indefinitely unless the miners agree
to change them.
