COAL MINERS PAY
DISCUSSED HERE
Par|ey Seeks Resumption of
Operations in South
west Virginia.
Hy the Associated Press.

]
Conferences looking toward re-
sumption Of operations in the union
lied bituminous coal mines of South
! west Virginia opened here today.
Approximately 10000 coal miners
in the area have been idle since the
old district contract with the United
Mine Workers expired March 81.
The conferences are being held in
efforts to renew the contract in con-
formity with the Appalachian bitumi-
nous coal agreement signed in New
York April 2.
AS the Wage Scale Committee of
the Virginia Coal Operators Associ-
alton gathered in round table discus
sion, John Saxton, Newton, Va, presi-
dent of district % of the United Mine
WorkerS--comprising the Virginia soft
coal area-conferred with U. M. w.
officials.
A spokesman for the Operators
Committee, of which j. l.. Osler
Blackwood, Va, is chairman, said it
was not likely the employers group
and representatives of the union
would meet together before tomorrow.
He said the operators, before sign
ing a tWo-year renewal of the con-
tract, wanted certain assurances to
give them protection from competi-
tive union and non-union mines
The Appalachian agreement, signed
in New York, would provide coal
miners a 50-cent-a-day wage increase,
an increase of cents a ton for load
ing and time and half pay for over

Senator Thomas Is Author
Of Book Written in Japanese

Turkey and 'just missed" the start Of
the World War.
Thomas was in China long enough,
however, to learn "a little" Chinese.
The Japanese use Chinese char
acters in their writing" he explained,
so it wasn't so awfully difficult for me
to learn enough to get by in China.
One Of the little things I learned, for
instance, was that my name is Twin
in Chinese"
OF greater interest to the Senator
than his Way of Salvation" is his
more recent book, Chinese Political
Thought" published in this country
in 1927 and in England the following
year.
Il spent years working on that" he
said. The other one was compare
lively quick job-a few months, as 1
recall it,"
Out of Thomas long study of ORR
entail political theories and practices
has come the conviction that the sit
down strike is nothing new"
"On the contrary, this medium is
very OlU, lie ucCldISu. some ASPECTS
Of it we're developed hundreds of years
ago. Chinese butchers used to protest
against taxes by using the sit-down
method. Its ancestor was Lao Tzu
Taoist's theory of attainment of action
by non-a -action-'Do nothing, and
everything will be DONE"
Americans, the Senator pointed out,
are playing with something they know
nothing about" The sit-doWn tech
nique may become 80 strong in its
final aspects" he added, that labor
could easily destroy its own objectives." "
Thomas, who is a member Of the
La Toilette Civil Liberties Committee,
taught political science, Latin and
Greek before his election to the Senate
in 1888 He was associated with both
the University of Utah and the Uni
versity of California.
Besides Chiyo, he has two other
daughters-Esther, now Mrs. Wayne
c. Grove, and Edna Louise. Only
Chiyo followed him into the Mormon
missionary field, however. She spent
two years in mission work in Canada,
returning about year ago.

BAY CRASH CAUSE
Control Column Jammed by
Instrument, Probers
Discover.

The San Francisco Bay crash of
February 9, which resulted in loss of
a United Airlines plane with eight
passengers and three crew members,
was due to the jamming in the control
column of radio microphone acci-
dentally dropped by one of the pilots,
Bureau of Air Commerce Accident
Board reported today.
The boards investigation disclosed
that the two pilots had engaged in an
heroic struggle to regain control dur
ing the last four seconds of the ILL
fated flight
Both control wheels had been bent
by the pressure exerted by the pilot
and co-pilot to clear the jam, in the
opinion of the investigators. Finding
themselves unable to pull the plane
out of its final dive, the pilots ap-
parently had used the other controls
in an effort to strike the water at an
angle which would result in the least
hazard to their passengers.
Coroner'S Investigations showed
most of the passengers had lived
biIO1sl VIC u dSli, Uut "CLe dlUWIlcd
when the wreckage sank to the bot
tom of the bay.
AS a result of the investigation
transport planes of all the major lines
have been equipped with leather
shields around the control columns to
prevent similar accidents.
The plane, one of the first 2l-
passenger types put into operation by
United, was on its way from Los An
geles to Oakland at the time of the
crash. 1t had made one pass over
the Oakland airport, its destination,
and was circling back over the bay in
preparation for landing when the
crash occurred. 1t was in charge of
Pilot A. r. Thompson and Co-pilot
Joe DeCeSaro.
The investigation revealed marks on
the co-pilot'S microphone, the seat rail
support and the control column which
disclosed the microphone had been
squeezed between the column and the
seat. Tests with the same type of
plane showed placing of a microphoYa
in the position indicated by the marks
prevented the control column from be-
ing brought back to neutral position,
which meant that the plane could not
be raised to level flight position.

Amusement Center Acts to Elimi.
nate Conduit Road Traffic
Hazard.

Glen Echo Park, which will open
It's 1887 season next Saturday, will
make its automobile parking area free
to the public in an effort to eliminate
a traffic hazard caused in previous
years by automobiles parking on Con-
duit road, directly in front of the
amusement center.
officials of the park said the War
Department, through surveys made
last year, found that motoring was
made hazardous by the machines
croWding both edges of Conduit road
in that vicinity.
The department, which has charge
OF the conduit from which the road
gets its name, has placed guard fences
and signs designating where parking
space may be found.
There is an entrance to the amuse-
rent park directly from the parking
lot, which will accommodate approxi-

BY PHILIP H. LOVE.

Is there any news in the fact that
a United States Senator-a native OF
Utah, at that's the author Of book
written in Japanese?
Senator Ebert D. Thomas doesn't
think so-though he freely admits
that, to the best of his knowledge, no
other member of Congress ever has
written such volume as his "Sukai
No Michi"
Why, it was nothing" the scholar
ly Democrat from Salt Lake City
shrugged. Just a little paper covered
monograph-50 or so pages-on the
Way of Salvation Just a little
philosophical treatise, set down in
Japanese.
And, after all, why shouldn't I be
able to write Japanese? I was a
missionary in Japan from 1907 until
1913, and-Well, 1 had to learn some
thing about the language"
AS matter of fact, however, Sena-
tor Thomas took up Japanese before
the Church of the Latter Day Saints
(Mormon) sent him and his wife to
Toxic on combination honeymoon
and mission. But this fact, too, was
minimized by the Senator with the
statement:
"Oh, we had few lessons-just
enough to get us started"
From Japan, Thomas and his wife,
the former Edna Harker, transferred
their missionary activities to China
They were there only about six weeks,
however, when revolution broke out.
Il had seen the beginnings OF
the revolt in Toxic" the Senator ex-
planned. Sun Vat Sen and all the
other Chinese revolutionary leaders
were there, and-well, I had ample
opportunity to study both their aims
and their methods"
With their daughter, Chiyo-given
the japanese name because she was
born in Tokio-the Thomases left
China in the midst Of the revolution,
returning to the United States by way
OF various other Asiatic and European
countries. They witnessed the begin
ming of the war between Greece and

who said that, although the physician
operating in the field of private prac-
tice may have lost his place as No. /
in the medical profession and given
way to the specialist, he Is coming
back because the specialized fields are
becoming overcrowded.
When questioned concerning his
view on socialized medicine, DR.. Hag-
gard stated that If the doctor wants
socialized medicine and will take the
lead IN bringing it about, it will be
all right, but he objects to "the lay
man telling the doctor what to do"
DR.. Haggard also said that there is
general difference between State or
socialized medicine and private medi-
cine in that the first is preventative
and the latter curative. He was care
full to state, however, that this dis
tinction can not be finely drawn be-
cause the two overlap.
DR.. George c. Ruhland, District
health officer and third member Of the
panel. also agreed that the advance
ment in sociology is the present need
and commented that this can take
place through health education.
In regard to the Specialization Of
medicine, DR.. Rutland stated, Gov
eminent agencies such as the Public
Health Service can assume q part in
the field OF medicine, but I do not
want the Government to undertake
treatment for everybody"
THE problem will remain socio-
logical until the Public Health Service
becomes adequately stated and f.
nanced to meet the tasks before it,"
he remarked.
DR.. John w. Studebaker, United
States commissioner of education, was
chairman of the session, which con-
cluded the Town Halls third season.

liberia, tuberculosis typhoid, small
pox and many others have been de-
cHning year after year as has the
rate Of infant mortality, the speaker
observed. This death rate decline
has been accompanied by an increase
in the average length OF life from 80
years in 1886 to so years in 1887.
I'VE may soon see the day when one
sixth OF the population may be made
up Of individuals over so years Of age"
DR.. Haggard predicted. "Who is to
determine what we will do about these
individuals is a question. The doctor
can't because he has other things to do.
The Government may, judging from
the Social Security, and the old age
pension laws"
Some People Old at 40.
A discussion of the old age question
came up later in the session when DR..
Thomas A. Grower, former president
Of the District of Columbia Medical
Society and panel member asked:
do you believe that an individual
should be forced to retire on account
Of age?" The audience chuckled.
mo. Say, what are you getting me
into?" The speaker replied. The
audience laughed
DR.. Haggard smilingly continued
his answer, Il still say no. Some peo-
pie are old at 40 while others are
young at 80" The audience applauded.
In regard to the further advance
Of medical science DR.. Daniel L. Bor-
den. associate professor of surgery at
George Washington University and an
other panel member, agreed with the
speaker that the responsibility of med
ical progress now rests with the public.
His question concerning the present
and future status of the general prac-
titioner was answered by the speaker

MEDICAL SCIENCE
HELD RETARDED
Yale Professor Tells Town
Hall Doctor Has to Wait
for Society.

The failure Of society to keep pace
with advances in medicine will retard
future progress In that field, declared
DR.. Howard w. Haggard, associate
professor Of applied physiology of
Yale University at the final session
OF the Town Hall Of Washington last
night at the Shoreham Hotel.
Although medical science has out
stripped economics and sociology, its
further advancement depends in a
large measure on their progress, he
commented, so the question now is
not where medicine is headed in the
future, but what society plans to
do toward catching up.
That social adjustment is dependent
on medical knowledge and application
was pointed out by the physiologist.
The many amazing readjustments
that society has ever gone through
have come about because OF medical
advancement" he said, but these re-
adjustments frequently have been
slow The doctor stands with his
cure and has to wait for society to
catch up"
Urges Publicizing Disease.
Or. Haggard commented that one
OF the most important means of aid
ing the public in catching up with
medicine is through publicizing GER
tain diseases. In this regard he
lauded newspapers for their recent
trend of treating news concerning
social diseases openly.
In tracing medical progress during
the last $500 years, the speaker
pointed out that although there were
two great periods in medical advance
ment, one in the days Of the Greecian
and Roman Empire and the other,
during Renaissance, the turning point
in medical science came late in the
last century upon the discovery Of
meteorological causes of infection Of
diseases
After that time medicine. as we
know it today, reached its peak" he
said.
