DISTRESSED COAL MINERS

The American Federation of Labor makes an appeal
to the organized labor of the United States and Can
ada through 10000 local unions help the striking
coal miners of Ohio. Pennsylvania and West Virginia
with money and supplies. There are 10000 miners
still strike and 100000 and children depend
on them for support. 1t will be hard winter for
those miners families. Many Of them lack houses
to live in.
The help should be forthcoming from fellow union
lists and from kindly people outside the ranks of labor
Regardless of economic disputes human beings must
not freeze and starve in this rich land
With temporary needs supplied, however, organized
labor and other social groups should turn their aten
tion to permanent relief for the miners.
One why they freezing and starving is
that they not needed in the coal industry That in
dusry is overmanned that enough coal can be pro-
duced whether they work not. That handicaps them
in getting the wages and working conditions they want
The biggest permanent kindness that could be done
to those distressed miners would be to get most Of them
into other line of work, giving them steader en-
ployment and better pay.

NO PLACE FOR SYMPATHY

Now If the sob-ssters and misguided upifters will
only step aside quick justice should be dealt out the
six Folsom convcts held responsible for the deaths in
the Thanksgiving Day rioting.
The accused are guaranteed fair trial by the laws
of the state of California They entitled and
will get it. Although much notoriety surrounds
them as to make it appear difficult to judge them
guilty beforehand the citizens of the who are
called upon to decide their fate be trusted to give
them any consideration to which they may be entitled
before passing judgment on them.
There can be excuse for dangling along with this

there is need to waste the states time and money

If successful it will be extended needed.
At present weather reports received at landing

Thus flier, leaving any airport can know what

GANGSTERSBEAT UP
PRISON KEEPERS.
Seize BIaCkjacks From the
Guards and Make Assault
in Attempt to Escape.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 30.-Three gang
sters of national notoriety assaulted
three keepers with their own black
jacks and heavy key rings in des-
perate attempt to escape from West
Side Prison yesterday. One keeper
suffered fractured jaw and possible
fracture of the skull.
The keepers had no guns, as
prison officials deem ii unwise to
supply them with pistols which might
fall into the hands of prisoners. The
escape was prevented by the timely
arrival of John j. Bowen, a driver
for the Department of Corrections,
wiio guarded the outside door with
his pistol, while the fighting was in
progress.

The leader in the attempt was ap-
parently William G. Unklebach,
known as Baltimore Willie" MEM
ber or the gang led by Richard Reece
Whittemore. who was hanged for the
murder of a Maryland prison guard.
Unllelbach is awaiting sentence for
robbery.
When Keeper Dennis O'Reilly
opened Unkelbach's cell, the prisoner
seized his blackjack and struck him
down. With O'Reilly's keys he open
ed the cells of George Cohen and
John Werner in the tier above. Cohen,
who came from Chicago, is under
sentence of 40 years for participa-
ton in a $4,000 jewel robbery in
Maiden Lane year ago. Werner,

struck on the head and was kicked
as he lay on the floor. He was not
severly injured.
The third keeper. Gustave Hicks,
on duty in the office with another
keeper, heard McShane's shouts.
Leaving his companion to guard the
office, he ran to the stairs just as
Bowen drove into the prison yard.
He warned Bowen, who was armed. to

seized him while Unkelbach ran

pistol and returned.

AppraisalS Are Required Be-
tore Listing, Under Rigid
LIZ. Rules of Realtors.

Gary, Ind, synonymous with belch.
ing blast furnaces, or, II you will, with
tne upsetting of the ancient tradition
tnat school desks need must be nu-
merically co-extensive with school
population. is coming to be notable in
stu another way. 1t is coming to be
town that knows Its own real estate
values and knows them to a unique
degree. And It is all because of a
ruling Of the Gary Board of Realtors
that no property may be listed for
sale with any active member of the
board unless he first appraise it.
AS a result property values in the
city have become noticeably stabilized,
the Gary board states. And there are
other results.
Method of Board.
The board has gone at the matter
In this way: Through its contractor
associate members it has had pre-
pared standard estimates on the cost
OF various types of construction by
cubac foot measurements. These are
available for residences. apartment
buildings and stores. When a prop
erty is listed, the realtor taking the
listing must make an appraisal of it
by cubic.foot measurement. The
standard valuation for such extra fea-
lures as Frigidair electric refrigera.
ton plant, oil burner, etc, are then
added.
1t takes a Gary realtor two hours
to list an ordinary six-room house,
but when Ii Is listed he knows what
it is worth. Moreover. the man to
whom he offers this property also
knows. AS further by-product,
property held at a price beyond that
which is justified by market condi-
tions is not ION the market" 1t is
not accepted for listing.
Most Important Work.
The Gary system Of required ap-
praisals was developed in connection
with its multiple listing plan.
Development of real estate appraisal.
and particularly of the work of real
estate board official appraisal COM
mittees, is the most important work
which real estate boards of the United
States and Canada now have before
them, c. c. Heat of Louisville, KY,
