MEN RETURN TO PITS:
] ’
BITUMINOUS PRODUCTION IS
NORMAL; ANTHRACITE WILL
SOON BE. COST BILLION.
With approximately 80 per cent of
the nation’s bituminous miners back
in the pits digging coal, and with all
the anthracite miners due to resumc
operations withm a day or two, the
great coal strike of the United States,
which began April 1, has been ended.
With the settlement of this dual con
troversy in the hard and soft coal
‘fields, and the consequent return of
350,000 men to work, also passes the
danger of a nation-wide coal famine
this winter, although coal will ._hci
high in price and far ‘firom plentiful
until next spring. |
Return at Old Wages. |
The settlement of the :m.tihra(‘ito”
strike.. which was formally ratified by |
the miners a few days ago, sends the |
hard coal workers back to their jobs, |
after \five months of idleness, at lht‘i
same wage scale that obtained when |
the “suspension” of work was order- |
et This wage scale will continue for |
one year, or until Aug. . m2l Inl
the meantime a “‘fact-finding commis- |
sion” will be. empowered by the gov- |
ernment to investigate all phases ot
the anthracite mirnng industry and re- |
turn a report upon which the opera—]
tors and the union leaders. will attempt |
to form a new agreement when the!
present one expires a year hence. i
In:the bituminous fields the opera
tors continue to sign agreements with |
their workers on the terms of the|
Cleveland agreement, by which the |
soft coal strike was ended. It is now |
(-s;_umatcd that more than 75 per cent|
of the operators have reached an|
agreement with their men, and soft |
toal production has taken an immense |
jump. f
The anthracite market, however,|
will be longer getting over the cffect.si
of the strike than the .bituminous. |
There is a shortage of 30.000000 tons |
of hard coal, and as the normal an-‘
thracite production is only 75,000,000 !
tons a vear it will take many months |
to overcome the lack of production
during the five months’ suspension.
Production of 1,650,000 tons a week|
will prevent a hard coal famine, buti
it is not believed that anything likcl
this figure can be reached before ®ct. |
1. at the earliest, as it will take weeks
to place many of the hard coal work
ings in condition for full operation. |
Strikes Cost a Billion. |
Government experts fgure that the |
five-month strike in the anthracite andl
bituminous fields cost in terms of
money the sum of $1,190,000,000. Loss |
in wages to 600,000 miners, who would|
have earned approximately $750 ea(‘hi
during the shutdown, is placed at
£450,000,000. The loss to the opera
tors in profits and overhead expenses
is figured at $40,000,000. The extra
cost of coal to the publie, as the result
of price boosts following the strike, is
placed at an average of s§l a ton on
100,000,000 tons. or $100,000,000. Coal
hauling railroads place their freight
revenue loss for the strike at $300,-
000,000, ;
Georgia Cane Growers
Pay Big Marketing Loan
Money Advanced for Handling Crop
Repaid. Made Fine Record.
The Georgia Cane Growers’ Pro
tective Association, the first organiza
tion of the kind ever perfected in the
state for community marketing in con
junction with the general plan under
which federal aid could be obtained,
has just established for itself another
record.
Announcement is made through the
state department of agriculture, which
brought about the organization of the
association, that the loan advanced for
handling the last syrup crop by the
war finance corporation has been re
paid to that corporation.
When the lower part of the state
last year was flooded with a huge
supply of syrup that could find no
market this association was formed,
canned and stored 20,000 cans of the
syrup, gradually marketed it and has
realized more than double the price
of the syrup at the time it was canned.
This was made possible through an
advance of $35,000 by the war finance
corporation, It is that loan which to
day was repaid, and the association is
in shape to handle now its next syrup
crop.

NEW “YELLOW PERIL”
IMPORTED IN CHERRY TREES,
IT THREATENS U. S. FRUIT
TREES. INVADING EAST. .
WASHINGTON, D. C.—The Jap
anese beetle, having evaded the pro
visions of the gentlemen’s agreement
| which aims to keep the vellow peril
out of the United States, has entered
| this country and is threatening the life
of the fruit trees of America. Alarmed
|by the ravages of the pest, the depart
| ment of agriculture is marshaling all
|of its forces to combat it, and it is
even considering quarantining or even
| destroying orchards in which they
' have found lodgment.
. The officials of the department ac
' knowledge that unless some means is
[found of checking the ravages of these
pests the eventual damage will run in
to hundreds of millions of dollars.
The romantic interest attaching to
the Japanese cherry blossom 15 Fi
sponsible for the entry of the beetle.
A few years ago it was decided to
import a nuruber of cherry trees intoi
the United States from Japan, and
they were planted along the driveway
of Potomac Park, Washington. The|
trees have added greatly to the spring |
time charm of Washington, but, un-|
fortunately, the Japanese beetle made |
use of the roots of these trees to se-|
cure free transportation into the Unit- |
ed Statcs. Within the last few years|
he has begun to spread throughout|
the eastern section of the country. |
The beetle is not especially hurmfui'
in Japan, where it has natural cncmic_si
which keep the numbers down. i
Will Import His Enemy.
While the sciehitists of the dcpart-’
ment of agriculturé are doing what |
they can to limit the damages caused |
by the beetles here Secretary Wallace |
has dispatched a small army of scient
ists to Japan on the quest of the
beetle’s natural ‘enemy. Once found,
these insects” which prey upon the
beetle at home Wwill'be brought to the
United States and” turned loose upon |
their old-time enemy. The danger to
American fruit trees is aggravated by
the fact that it is feared that even
when the beetle’s natural enemy is dis
covered he 'may refuse to live in the
American climate. It is regarded as
possible that both the beetle and his
enemy came over together, but the
beetle was able to live in the American
climate while the enemy perished.
Fish Are Cooked in
Lake by the Thousand
Gases Coming From Bottom of Lake
Made Water Boil.
NAPLES.—Thousands of dead eels,
grey mullets, sea bass and other fish
have come to the surface the last few
days on lLake Lucrein, on the north
shore of the guli of Naples, from
which it is separated only by a nar
row sand spint. Fishermen in the vi
cinity were delighted, - especially as
the fish appeared to be already cook
ced. Their pleasure was short lived, for
the authorities prohibited collection of
'thc fish, fearing that they had been
poisoned by .an eruption of gases. It
‘was these gases, the authorities ex
plain, which, evidently coming from
}the bottom of the lake, made the wa
ter bubble and boil, thus killing, and
|in a way, cooking the fish. Lucrein
is a small lake said to have been form
' ed by a volcanic phenomenon in pre
historic times. It was well known in
the time of Cicero and Horace, as
'they extolled its oysters and mussels.

It is only through education and training that the boys of B
son can be made into the kind of men who accomplish the big (.
in the business and industrial world and who therein win th, MRB
rewards. B
In his remarkable booklet on “The Money Value oi Educatioy”
prepared especially tor the Board of Education of the ])('[)arl"n" n]t of
Education, Prof. A. Caswell Ellis points out— Tt
“The necessity for education has increased and
will continue to increase with the advance in the com
plexity of the processes of civilization. Because of
the unparalleled progress in the arts and sciences dur.
ing the past fifty years the need for education has in
a generation multiplied many times.
“A century ago a transportation system was little
more than a wagon and a driver who knew the road.
Now, in handling a problem of transportation, ex
: perts in traffic must first determine whether a road in
that place will be worth while, and what kind of road
will be most economical and efficient; experts in fi
nance must provide the tremendous sums needed to
build the road; civil engineers must lay it out; bridge
engineers plan the bridges; chemical engineers test
the materials; mills and factories with scores of chem
ical and physical experts make the rails, build the
locomotives and steel cars; and a host of traffic ex
perts, auditors, accountants, and specially trained
managers and clerks, telegraphers, engineers and con
ductors, and others, keep the trains moving with
safety and with profit.”
How about the boys of your acquaintance in Dawson—are they
heading for “wagon driver’s” jobs or are they fitting themselyes for
bigger? Help these boys to decide to go on to school!
