These trains will consist of the

SHORTAGE OF MINERS.
Coal Fields Of West Virginia Need
ing Men, It Is Reported.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, October 12.-There Is
a shortage of labor in the coal fields
of West Virginia, according to soft
coal operators here. Inability to OBJ
tain men to man mines is holding back
maximum production in some regions,
it is said. Opening up of "snow bird"
mines, that is to say those which op-
crate only in times of prosperity, Is
partly responsible for the scarcity of
labor.
A tremendous amount of soft coal
is still being sent to Europe through
Baltimore. The big companies oper-
ating in West Virginia and Eastern
Kentucky are producing more coal
than at any other time for many years,
and they are selling 1t as fast as they
can bring it to the surface and load it
on cars.
Prices are higher and the trend is
still upward. There are foreign orders
in the market calling for delivery up
into the middle of November.

THE BUSINESS OF
GETTING AHEAD
Are Chances Still Good.

Many a beginner in business won
ders whether his chances Of success
are Is good as his fathers and grand
fathers were.
In the pioneer days fortunes were
sometimes wrested from nature
through lucky strikes. Moreover,
men who failed in the cities had the
further opportunity of getting free
land from the Government and help
ing in the winning of the West. The
alternative which each individual used
to have of setting up stake for him.
self was a factor in the maintenance
of wage scales in the industrial CEN
ters With the passing of the frontiers
at the beginning of this century, many
feared that the lot of the average
man would gradually become less
affluent.
While free land remained available,
America was universally considered
the land Of opportunity. When most
Of the available supply of land passed
to private ownership, even economists
feared that America would become
like the Old World, a place of slow
and gradual plodding rather than
ing ground for pathfinders and pio-
neers, a place where miraculous and
colossal growth had become part of
the national routine.
Strangely enough, however, with the
disappearance of free land other
economic forces, such as the drift to
the cities and the further industriali-
zation of the country, came into play
and more offset the seemingly adverse
development. The economic growth
of the country, as measured by ma
tional income, has been wholly out
of proportion with the comparatively
slow pace before that year when free
land was still available.
Buying Power Is Great.
The buying power of the population
was never greater than in the cur
rent period, which is characterized by
wide diffusion of prosperity, al
though the agricultural classes have
not been as favored as those in the
cities. High wages are made economic
ally practicable because Of an enor-
nous expansion in the productivity of
the individual worker, who has been
helped by the Introduction of labor
saving machinery and by striking
improvement in managerial technique.
Mass production is based on the be-
lief that the average man is suff1-
ciently equipped with purchasing
power to absorb a steady flow of
goods. Mass production goes hand in
hand with mass weNbeing, and can
not be linked with mass poverty.
The development of big business
during the twentieth century has
changed the habits and ambitions of
the younger generation, which looks
increasingly for economic salvation
to profitable employment by large
corporations rather than to owner
ship of small Independent enterprises.
The multiplication of large economic
units whose operations extend
throughout the continent has enor-
mouSly increased the demand for man
agerial skill. The number of jobs
with emoluments as large as that of
the President of the United States is
greater than ever before.
This, then, is the era of the hired
man, rather than of the independent
Yenturer. The multitudes now seek
wellbeing by acquiring part owner
ship of great corporations, rather than
through setting up their own estab-

migration does not supply 1t with an
adequate number of unskilled lab
orerS.
Restriction as to Quality.
THE law may be amended and re-
striction based more on quality than
quantity, but the situation will not
be greatly improved. Social and edu-
cational forces in this country are do
ing more to deplete the supply of un-
skilled labor than immigration restrtc-
tions can possibly reduce 1t.
THE manufacturer must and can
solve the problem without the aid Of
the laWmaker."
Mr. Clark, who is director of the
Motor and Accessory Manufacturers
Association, amplifies his views on
this subject in discussion in the cur
rent "NatiOn'S Business
Declaring that internal tranSporta-
ton within factories costs as much
as freight in bringing raw materials
to the plants. Mr.. Clark urges the
introduction of cranes, hoists, convey
ors and devices of a highly flexible
nature, including gasoline propelled
vehicles, for use in the transporta-
ton of materials within manufactur-
ing plants.
His recommendations are in spirit
with Secretary Hoover's campaign
against waste in business. including
the wastage of human energies.

Interest Expressed in Rise of
italian Lire in Exchange
Market.
BY STUART P. WEST.

Special DlSpdICi W 4hC Ctui'
NEW YORK, October 12.--The prln-
cipal markets were closed today in OBJ
servance of the Columbus day holiday.
This applied to stocks, bonds. cotton
and Chicago grain. The banks being
closed, there were no dealings in for
eign exchange, but interest continued
to be expressed in the remarkable up
ward movement which has been going
on in italian lire and which reflects
the confidence in international bank
ing circles in the effectiveness or the
deflation measures undertaken by the
Italian government.
The remarkable difference between
the situation in italian lire and that
in the French franc is illustrated by
the comparison of prices now with
those of a year ago. The French
franc at 2.86 cents contrasts with 400
at this time in 1925. On the other
hand, italian lire at All are above
where they were a year ago. Wnen
the quotation was 4.03.
Opportunity was given over the
holiday to think more about the weak
ness on the Stock Exchange. 1t was
not due to the 5 per cent money rate
or to any fear of credit strlngency
but it was simply reaction from tne

are carried as much to an extreme as
are advances preceding them.
The October quarterly agricultural
report on the grain crop was about
what had been expected. There was
reduction of 100000 bushels in the
corn outlook, but a final crop OF
2 sos 900, 900 was indicated, which was
decidedly larger than what had beer
anticipated two months ago The
total wheat yield was set down as
839 $4,000, as against 66b b,O0O,o00 last

be felt that brokerage loans for the
