miniStration," and an industry of
scattered and competitive units" He
implies a boost in coal prices, however,
by asserting that the people "are will
ing to pay for their coal price which
will yield a good profit and good
wage" Urging Stabilization, he sug-
gestS large corporations with combined
selling agencies.
The secretary of labor also presents
a lengthy and vehement argument
against wage reductions, Stressing the
point that lower wages mean reduc-
ton of our profitable home market
through diminished buying power.
Somewhat cautiously, he raises the
question Uf injunctionS against labor
unions, and urges that congress clarity
the Clayton amendments. to the Sher-
man antitrust act which have some
times been used effectively against
labor, notably in Pennsylvania during
the present coal strike.
Again he comes to the aid of labor
by warning against the importation of
immigrants with lower living STAN
dardS.
He makes the point that we should
"beware of excessive hopes from our
exports" and refers to the domestic
market as one which unlike the for
eign markets, will drovide VS with
wealth and not cost us more than it
is worth, socially and commercially
politically and financially
Elsewhere he urges more vocational
training for the disabled and says that
every year $4,000 persons become voca-
tionally handicapped as a result OF
physical disability. The government,
cooperating with Al states, has been
engaged in providing educational and
employment service especially for the
disabled since 1920 The cost OF re-
habilitating a disabled man averages
less than $3.50, considerably less than
the cost Of supporting him in idleness
at public expense.

WASHINGTON.-O all the annual
reports of the government depart
mentS, none is more interesting than
that of The secretary of labor, which
deals with men and their jobs, en-
ployers and employees and even with
women and children.
Secretary of Labor James j. Davis
emphasizes the happiness and pros
perity" side of the picture, but he does
not overlook some of the shaded spots
which are becoming darker. His re-
port is much more than an optimistic
blurb.
Although he refrains discreetly from
citing estimates OF some of his best
experts, Davis warns that zone of the
more serious social aspects is in the
tendency of labor saving machinery to
displace nand workers at a rate more
rapid than they can be absorbed in
new pursuits"
The labor department report reached
the office soon after the A. F. of LIS
appeal for bituminouS coal strike re-
lief in Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Vir-
ginia and elsewhere. 1t was a dra-
matte appeal: Seven hundred and
fifty thousand people must be clothed,

sylvania these miners are victims of
brutal and inhuman treatment accord
ed by coal and iron police, the state
constabulary and deputy sheriffs.
Thousands have been evicted.
Winter will make their hardships al
most unbearable. without any
funds, clothing, food or shelter they
battle on. The voice of the

Davis, of course, does not go into
this in stressing Happiness and pros
perity" growing out of our better
understanding and good will between
worker and employer" He does not
refer to the fact that the industry has
some 100000 more miners than it
really can use.

More Truth Than Poetry
REMOVING THE LIMIT
BY JAMES J. MONTAGUE

REMOVING THE LIMIT
1 have practiced twelve hours a day
With the brassie, the putter and
cleek
Till the dusk became murky and gray
And my muscles grew flabby and
weak
And always when lowered the velvety
night
And the robins were drowsily singing
I have fancied a little more practicing
might
Have taught me the secret OF
swinging.
1 have played till the ball disappeared
In the rapidly gathering gloom,
And. the OWLS cry was eerie and weirc
Like a voice from an age crumbleo
tomb
And I always have thought, if the
daylight would last
Or the twilight keep steadily glow
ing
T might make amends for the flubs
of the past, @
And perhaps, on the next round get
going.
And now they have lighted a ball,
One can mark it's coruscating flight
And patiently swat at it all
The longest and inkiest night.
You can go to the tee when the birds
first awake =
And the sun the dim east is adorn-
ing
Playing round after round without
ever break
Till you drop from exhaustion next
morning.
So now L am nursing hope
That some skill at last shall attain,
That perhaps shall master the dope
Which the pros seek to teach me in
vain
And a score under eighty set down on
my card
When my effort is over shall thrill
me
And win from my fellows some little
regard
Though of course the exertion will
kill me!

Nothing doing. The boss says he won't stand for

:" But I'm not staing"
The collector shrugged his shoulders
Well, maybe and maybe got my nstruc-

chine away. Then, in friendlier tone: "You can

"WeL, why don't the company pay the bill, then?"
" This machine has nothing to do with the

days ahead only be to fell your boss not to de-
posit it before then. That's the best can do"
The collector grudgingly accepted the check
Rayburn shut the door with bang and once more
settled down at his desk.
Again there came sharp, authoritative rap, fol-
lowed instantly by the entrance of Mr.. Crahl big
department head, who was obsequiously psherng two
young ladies into the room.

wish you would show these young ladies something
of your shop-the instruments and on" And then,
with Difference he spoke to The ladies. He'll show
you his playthings. I'll leave you with him for few
minutes"
For hour Rayburn explained the mysteries Of the
laboratory. He intensely devoted to his work and
after time forgot his annoyance and became a
courteous, self-confdent and extremely intelligent
guide. His enthusiasm infectious.
