ness In the land to suggest settle
ment of differences between any en-
ployers and their employees. There
are many strings to this and
they lead into many paths and by
ways of uncertain ending. The
President is right in apprehending
that interference from him might do
much more harm than good.
Father Curran, who has wrought
forty years among these people
whose knowledge of their present
predicament appeals to his generous
sympathies, evidently thinks the
President by a gesture might make it
easy for both sides to yield little.
His heart is in the right place. His
advice respecting many things is I'M
! dcubtedly excellent. He tells the
miners: "avoid liquor as you would
/ the plague" He recognizes the value
| Of total abstinence in their lives. He
has faith in moral pressure. 1t Is not
| surprising that he urges the Presi-
dent to apply it to this controversy.
In the interests of humanity. rather
in the interests of the $4,000 mis-
guided miners now suffering from
bad leadership. strengthened by the
war-chest filled by toll taken without
their volition from their wages by
their employers under the dictation
| Of those leaders made arrogant, one
may well wish with Father Curran
that-the penalty might be lightened
But it should not be placed on the
long-suffering public, disregarded by
these miners and operators. Presi-
dent Coolidge is warranted in his ap-
prehension lest in attempting tc
bring relief to a comparatively few
of the people he may open way tc
| aggression on many more and IN
nocent people.

Oakland Adopts
New Slogan

Oakland, Calf. Feb. 11-(AP)-
Civic organizations of Oakland. tired
of hearing their city referred to as
San FranciSeo's bedroom" have
adopted an official slogan, Industrial
Capital of the West"
Pointing out that the city now has
more than 1000 factories turning out
in excess of $400.000.000 of products
yearly, denial is entered that Oakland
is merely place where San Francis
cans stay when they are not working.
Suggestions for slogan were called
for by radio and fans from British
Columbia to Honolulu sent in offerings.
