FEDERAL GUIDANCE

Opposition to the Davis-Kelly coal
regulation bill, but agreement with the
principles of government guidance and
mediation of the industry, was ex-
pressed to a Senate Committee today
by R. H. Sherwood, president of the
Central Indiana Coal Co.
Sherwood said his reason for favor
ing legislation of this type is because
am convinced that the time has come
in the economic development of this
country when devastating competition
should be subpject to some restraint. -
Inherent conditions in the industry
make self regulation or even fair sta
bilization impossible" Sherwood added.
He recommended the Davis-Kelly bill,
for Federal regulation of the industry,
be amended to provide among other
things:
A commission of five, one nominated
by operators, one by mine workers and
three by the President on recommenda-
ton of the industry, each to receive
$4,000 yearly, with the industry to pay
them and all other expenses of the
group.
Labor organizations and operators
associations should be required to in
corporate and be equally subject to the
laws on contract.
The commission should be required to
set up tribunals similar to the Railroad
Labor Board to settle labor disputes
and strikes and lockoutS should be
subject to heavy penalties.

TIE CALL OF
KIND
Ely DOUGLAS MALLoCH

I SAILED across the inland sea;
The smudge that Is Chicago
rose
And beckoned merrily to me-
A city sees, a city knows
I had left hills of green behind
The hot gray pavement here to find.
'Your Streets" l said, "are like
fame
"And yet" Chicago said, you came"
Yes, cities are as maidens are:
They know their charm, they know
their lure;
And men may sail however far,
And breathe an air however pure,
And men may talk of huddled roofs,
And give you facts and give you
proofs
That, city walls are prison walls
That cage free men-yet something
calls.
This calls; not roofs nor walls nor
streets;
1t is the calling Of our kind;
For here the heart of Demos beats,
And here humanity you find.
The city calls to men who roam,
Whatever city is their home,
For "home" is not the only word
1t is the calling of the herd.
