OF the ballad type. Its melody is bright
and catchy with an inherent appeal
that, according to those who appreciate
the qualities of good popular music, is
certain to attract the fancy of the pub
lie. The words. too. have an appeal OF
romance and poetic grace that form an
irresistible combination.
How 1t Goes
"These qualities are exemplified in the
chorus. which follows:
"A canoe and you.
A kind, soft moon above,
A cozy nook where none can look,
A spot Just made for love;
/ must confess, your answer, yes.
Would thrill me through and
through.
A kiss, perhaps. to hear you sigh,
A canoe and YOU"
"a Canoe and You is being published
by the Purdy Music company OF Port
land in collaboration with Mr.. Gaylord.
Information received at the last mo-
ment indicates that the Brunswick Re-
cording company will join with Victor In
making reproductions OF the new song.
If such is the case. the vocal interpreta-
ton will be by Don Smith, popular local
tenor, who has been featuring the melody
in his own theatrical appearances"

LOST
ON FLOATING ICE

BUFFALO, N. Y, Feb. 6.---Captain
Paul H. Former, coast guard com
mander, today appealed for airplanes
to search for the ten or n'ore fisher
men facing deatt ON Lake Erie on
gigantic field OF ice, six inches thick,
which broke away from the off-shore
pack seven miles southwest Of Wind
mill Point, Ont, Sunday afternoon.
The plight of the fishermen was
warned from telephone calls from sew
eral residents along the Canadian
Shore. The men were at work fish
ing in groups of two or thee, about
three miles off-shore when the break
came, and the southwest wind carried
the field out into the lake about six
miles. Later the wind shifted to the
north and late last night the ice field
was being carried south across the
lake ten miles or more from the Can
adam shore and has not yet been To-
Gated.
\ The fishermen carried wood to
kindle a fire but only enough to last
until this morning; the weather is
very cold.

Four Thousand Honor
Slain Mine Worker

PITTSTON, Pa. (FP) Feb. 6.-Four
thousand union miners paid honor to
Thomas Lillis, treasurer of the local
of the United Mine Workers, at a
meeting in Pittston. Lillis
was slain on the street, His friends
insist that the supporters of contract
mining are responsible for Lillis'
death. He opposed the contractor
system and had been elected docking
boss at one of the Pennsylvania Coal
Co. mines.
With Alex Campbell, another OPP
ponent of the contractor system who
had Just been elected checkweighman,
Lillis was not allowed by the COM
pany to function. The Pennsylvania
company's mine is now closed while
automatic machine leaders are being
installed. The miners are demanding
equalization of work between the var
Gus mines of the Pennsylvania Coal
Co. Some of the mines have been
working while others were not.

expected to follow from this discus
sion," Woll illustrates from the con-
dition of the mining industry SIN
the present coal mining situation"
VOL declares, sit is recognized that
the crux of the problem lies in the
fact that there are 1000 too many
mines and 100000 too many miners
and this excess could be eliminated
only through agreements which
would be in contravention of the
Sherman act"
The second question" stated by
Vol is: Assuming that the employer
has the right to refuse to employ a
man because he belongs to trade
union, can this apply with equal force
to his belonging to a certain church
or lodge? And should such employ
ment contracts be protected by law
or are they contrary to public policy?

This second question, it is believed,
is related to the propaganda now be-
ing carried on by the American Bar
Association for the establishment of
a law to enforce voluntary" agree
ments entered into between employ
ers and employees.
The third question is stated as fol-
lows: Assuming that the employer
has the legal right to organize a
company union, is there any practical
method whereby the trade union may
cope with this new and powerful OPP
ponent?
The results which are expected to
follow from this discussion" between
the labor officials and their open
shop fellow workers is q plan to re-
concile the flight" which is now be-
ing conducted in the newspapers
against the company union by the
A. F. of L. officialdom. An arrange
ment" may be made, it is believed, by
which the labor officials under the
protection Of government legislation
will be able to cooperate with the
company unions.

General SANDING with a strong patrol

truck load of United States marines
