Arbitration Fails and Wages
Remain at Present Level
A. F. OF l.. Secretary Member of Two-Man Mediation
Board Shows Proposed Reductions Unwise and
Unjustied

Washington, D. c. (ILNS)-Wages
of anthracite coal miners remain un-
changed, as the result of the firm
opposition of Secretary Frank Morri-
son, of the American Federation of
Labor, to cutting the miners pay.
Morrison and George Rublee, law
yer and former member of the fed
eral trade commission, were ap-
pointed members of two-man board
of arbitration under the provisions of
an agreement between the hard coal
operators and the United Mine Work
ers of America. They have announced
their failure to agree, which, under
the agreement, forces retention of the
present wage scale. The operators
sought 35 per cent cut in wages.
In written opinions presented to the
Anthracite Board of Cancellation,
Morrison fatty opposed wage cuts,
while Rublee favored a reduction,
Both agreed, however, that steps
should be taken to lower various
costs in the production of coal
Cut Will Not Help
"The claim that reduction in the
wage scale will stimulate production
and increase employment opportun-
tiles for the miners is not borne out
by the experience in other industries" :"
Morrison said in his statement.
Such measures have failed to stim-
ulate trade activities.
Economic recovery, as mat
ter of fact, depends upon the
restoration of purchasing power
to the twelve to fifteen millions
of American workers Of all
classes who are now without en-
ployment.
when this is done, the demand
for anthracite will be revived, old
markets will be restored and new
markets acquired"
Operators Make Good Profits
Opposing the operators contention
that the wage scale of the miners is
responsible for the high cost of
anthracite, for which reason the mar
ket has been diverted to cheaper fuels,
Mr.. Morrison showed from the opera
tors own figures that their average
annual profits in the seven-year Pc
riod, 1926 to 1882, inclusive, were $13,-
1858, despite loss last year of
s1O,507,779.
In my opinion" he said "the fig
ures for 1881 and 1892 are typical of
what virtually every industry is ex-
periencing in varying degrees in this
depression. There is no industry that
is not feeling the shock Of this eco
nomic cataclasm. To claim that the
depression is not largely responsible
for the slackening of returns to the
anthracite industry is to ignore pres
ent conditions of industry and COM
merce, not only in our own country,
but throughout the world"
Morrison pointed out that while the
coal companies lost $10,507,779 in
1882, the payroll of the miners was
$40,186,42S less than in 1881. "The
department of labor figures show" he
added. "that the anthracite payroll of
1882 was 46.3 less than it was in 1929,
and employment in 1882 was 37.7 less
than it was in 1929"

TWO SHIPS HELD
FAST. ON REEF

SAN PEDRO, Calf, May 80
G.N.S)-Two ships were snagged
fast on the rocks near Point Honda
today-two years to the day since
the million dollar costal steam
ship Harvard ran aground and
was wrecked in "the graveyard of
the Pacific" that has claimed SIS
lives in 18 disasters since 1906.
The two vessels were grounded
within is miles of one another in
a peasoup fog early yesterday.
They are the 100000 Japanese
oil tanker Nippon Maru and the
steam cargo schooner Chehalis.
The crew of 35 men of the Nip
pom Maru was taken off by Coast
Guard cutters last night. Fear
was expressed that the abandoned
vessel would be a total loss.
The Chehalis, with a crew of
IS men, was beached after a col
lision with the steamer j. D. Stet-
son, which was not seriously dam
aged.
Seamen feared the Chehalis,
like the Nippon Maru, would be
pounded to pieces.

Mother No Help
AS the male tot ran yelling to

"Well, that will teach you

At this camp, which members
are privileged to use for S. each

on this day-17 men and boys
and IS women and girls-all
naked whether indoors at the
main bungalow or their tents or
outside in the sun or shade.
Among the later arrivals at the
camp were two young men with
two young women friends, none
of whom had ever INDUCED in

The two young women refused
at first to get completely I'M

Conduct Very Fine
Married couples retired at night
to tents or individual rooms.
Single men and women either
slept on the single cots in a
"dormitory" room of the bunga-
low or retired to tents shared
with members of the same sex.
During this day and succeeding
days and evenings with the nudists
at camps and gymnasiumS, no
untoward conduct was noted. On
the contrary, there was a COM

dressed men and women in a.

RUM.
FACES CURB

LONDON, May 80 G.N.SJ.
Strong efforts are under way to
bring King Georges foot down on
late drinking in the houses OF par
lament.
A parliamentary "dry group"
led by DR.. Alfred Salter, M. P,
threatens to petition King George
for a decree sharply curtailing
drinking privileges in the mother
of parliaments" set for public bars
under the English law.
DR.. Salter is one of England's
leading temperance apostles and
a seasoned parliamentarian.
The point in dispute is the
"wide-open" bar in the House of
Commons, which functions full
blast whenever the house is in
session. Public bars in Westmin-
ster areas open at II a. m. and
close at 3 p. m. to reopen at $50
p. m. and closing for the night
at II p. m. The house usually sits
until about midnight or later, de-
pending on the Importance of de-
bates in progress.
DR.. Salter created a storm in
a teapot recently when he
charged that some members of
parliament "soak themselves until
they're stupid" with drink, but
old-timers around the legislative
halls and veteran members deny
ever seeing members actually
tight in the house, although oc-
casionally some of them "feel
rosy"
DR.. Salter is determined to get
the bar closed down when Big
Ben strikes II p. m. and makes
no bones about it.

NEW YORK, May 30 Q.N.S).-
During the investigation that re-
vealed that two former clergymen
were the chief preachers of
nudism in this country and that
they were converting a sharply in
creased number of Americans to
the cult practices, the following
question naturally demanded an
sWer:
"What, precisely, are the OBJ
Servable social results Of the
free mingIing of naked men,
women, and children at nudiSt
camps and gymnasiums?"
Closely Observed
This question, of course, could
be answered only by an impartial
observer who managed to be pres
ent with real nudists in their
native habitats-that is, un-
dressed behind the locked doors
Of gymnasiums or in secluded
camp sites in the country.
The first camp visited was that
Of the American Gymnosophical
Association, a tract of II wooded
acres on the crest of one of the
Catskill foothills in Rockland
county, about a mile across dense
ly wooded country from a large
Roman Catholic mission.
The outstanding event Of a day
there, from this observers view
point, was the upshot Of a row
between a diminutive nudist boy
of two and a naked little girl
companion of three.

FARM INCOMES

I People who are fond of statistics will find the
current issue of The University News Letter of abb
sorbng interest as it is largely, devoted to the
question of incomes of the farmers, particularly
to the money the Woodworking farmers of North
Carolina take in as. reward for their toll 1t is
shown that the farmers in this state have suffered
IAN enormous slump in farm income. The gross"
for this state has dropped from 1864 100000 nj
1928, to $144, 900, 900 in 1882. The Cash farm
income has dropped from $279, 900 to $685.
0O0, 0O0 decrease, of nearly 20 per cent. Never
theless, the state still ranks 40th in gross income,
per farm, q rank it has occupied for many years.
Editorialy, The News Letter sets forth that gross
income of a little over $500 year is a ridiculous
sly low income. 1t is not even decent wage i'll
come, to say nothing of return. on investment 1t
averages one hundred dollars per year per men,
Der of the farm family, or less than thirty cents
per day for each member of the farm family, or
less than thirty cents per day for each member of
the farm family. There many farms where
the income was larger than the average. On the
other hand, probably more than half the farms had
incomes below the state average.
/ 1t is probable says The News Letter, that the
year 1882 was the all-time low year for American
agriculture. The economic position OF the farmer
Is relieved somewhat by the fact that the farm OPP
crates on near full-time capacity, compared with
many industries that have been one-fourth time,
and further by the fact that the farm can be called
upon to supply much of the family living. 1t is
devoaty to be. hoped that the year 1888 will bring
new DEAL not only for farmers but for the entire
business world. The prospects look bright for a
greatly enlarged farm income, and, long overdue
farm relief.-Charlotte Observer.

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
AN ABLE LEADER

In DR.. C. E. Burts, the prohibition forces OF
South Carolina have an able leader who deserves
and must have the loyal support of the men and

ment if South Carolina is to be kept in the dry
column when the balloting is done next Novem-

No worthwhile cause was ever won main
tanned with its proponents sitting down, and pro-
hibition is no exception. South Carolina is funda-
mentally dry has been in the past and will be in
the future regardless of the outcome Of the pres
emit national fight 1t is matter of translating
that basic sentiment into action-haying it meas
ured in votes at the polls.
A wet campaign has been under way in this state
for many months and no effort is being spared to
put South Carolina in the ranks with New York.
New Jersey and other VIGOROUSLY wet states. The
dry strength has not been called upon to manifest
itself up to the present and from on until time
for balloting it will be different story Under the
direction of DR.. Burts, the state will be called on
to rally around the prohibition standard it has
done before and as it will do again if the 18th
amendment should be repealed.
Drys should not make the mistake of slipping
into the viewpoint that it is no use, as 16 of the
48 states have voted for repeal The odds were
much greater when the fight for prohibition was
first launched and it must be remembered that only
Is of the remaining 80 states are required to de-
feat the repeal movement. South, Carolina might
well be the deciding state and that point must be
kept in mind. If the drys do not take the trouble
to vote they will lose, doubt about that but if
they will fall in behind DR.. Burts and register their
strength at the polls the state will vindicate the

THE CUSTOM OF THE COUNTRY"

Under this title, some, years ago the brilliant
novelist, Edith Wharton, gave picture alarming
enough, of the menace to American home life, of
divorce. When Mr.: Cox of Ohio was run for the
presidency, ministers preached on the national sin
of easy divorce, and lamented that man personal
lg identified with the custom should have been Sc
ected to lead one of the great national parties Mr..
Harding was elected to the presidency without
much comment on the fact that his wife had been
divorced from a, previous husband for some incom-
patbility, something of the sort. Now it is
ly item of the days that President Roose-
velts is to get divorce from his wife just be-
cause the young folks, despite the bond of young
baby, don't care to live together.
