granted Mr.. Roosevelt during the
emergency last year.
On the other hand, Silas FL. Strawn,
former head Of the chamber, attacked
what he termed the abandonment of
scheme of government which has made
Gus happier and more prosperous than
any other nation" He called for q
three-way action by Mr.. Roosevelt:
Balancing of all governmental bud
gets, a definite announcement that
there will be no more requests for
emergency legislation and mo more
tinkering with the dollar" and a re-
vision of the securities act and pro-
posed stock-eXchange legislation.
At dinner Gen. Hugh S. johnson
was the chief guest and after his ad-
dress he submitted to an inquisition
on the present and prospective poll
cies of the MIRA. Asked directly if the
principles embodied in the recovery
act were to be permanent, he replied:
IF there has been any good dem
onstrated by the recovery act, it will
live and it ought to live; If there has
been any bad it will die and it ought
to die"
Admitting that there has been a
lapse in public interest and enthus-
iasn. the general said new cam
paign to make the nation Blue Eagle
conscious was being mapped. He also
admitted that the controversy between
labor and industry is becoming more
acute. He expressed the opinion that
the ideal relationship between labor
and management had been worked out
In the bituminous coal industry.
Generally, the members of the Cham
Der of Commerce agreed that the first
year under the MIRA had brought eco
nomic Improvement. Some of their
suggestions for speeding the recovery
program were:
Another $2,OO0,000,O0O for public
works in order to help the laggard
heavy Industries.
Coordination of all land, water, and
air transportation under a federal COM
mission and cessation of federal SUBJ

Primitive Coal Mining

Coal was first dug in the British
isles on the south shore of the Firth
of Forth. For centuries there were no
means of draining coal pits, and early
coal was obtained in billy districts,
where it could be reached by tunnel
ing. In some places shallow bell
pits" were dug. In 1719 the deepest
coal mine in the country was only
$50 feet deep. Gunpowder was first
used to blast coal in that year.
In pits where firedamp accumulat-
ed, it was exploded each morning by
"a resolute man of purpose" who
went down clothed in rags saturated
with water and provided with long
pole at the end of which was a
lighted candle. There was no form
of safety lamp until the year 1916.

ENGLISH CLERIC
IN CRITICISM OF
PSALM WRITINGS

1 have often wondered, writes
Very Rev. DIR. G. A. Abingdon, dean
of Durham, In the London Daily Tel
egraph, whether it Is conservatism or
sheer apathy which causes religious
people to acquiesce so meekly in the
curious words which are put into
their mouths in church.
l am not thinking of hymns, for
they are certainly improving, but Of
some of the Psalms, which are 0cca-
sionally quite meaningless. Nor
should 1t be forgotten that the semi
colon after the sixth verse Of the
Benedictus causes us to demonstrate
how little we think what we are sing
ing.)
The prayer book version Of the
Psalms is wonderful effort Of ge-
MUS, and it Is difficult to be grateful
enough to Coverdale for writing it, or
to those who preferred it to the later
version; but Coverdale was not in
fallible and his task was at times
beyond him.
/ will take only two instances from
one of the best known Psalms, the
sixty-eighth-"Le God arise"-and
will first ask my readers what mean
ings they conceive to attach to the
words, Though We have lien among
the pots yet shall We be as the wing
of a dove?
The verse is a reproach addressed
to the Israelites who prefer peace to
honor-"Will We lie between the
sheepfolds ?"-and compares, appar-
emily, their slothful ease with that
of the dove, who basks in the sum
shine, content with her own lowell
ness.
The other verse is that which
catches the attention of every school
boy-about ''the company of the
spearmen and the multitude of the
mighty. scattered abroad among the
beasts of the people," Poor Cover
dale must have frankly confessed
that he was out of his depth.

ID REPRESENTATIVE BERTRAND
N SMELL of New York, minority
leader in the house, says the period OF
emergency is over, so he and the rest
of the Republican leaders feel free
now to demand that the emergency
laws and bureaus be dispensed with.
An amazing phase of the controversy
over the New Deal thus comes to
light. The opponents Of the admins
tration virtually concede that Presi-
dent Roosevelt and his advisers have
won their fight against the depression
and declare that normal conditions
have been restored or are at hand.
But the President and the other New
Dealers deny that the battle is over
and assert that their recovery meas
ures must be continued in force. At
the same time they insist that they
are not seeking to change the Amer
lean system to state socialism, collec-
tivism, communism, fascism. and
that what they are accomplishing is
