WAGE INCREASES FUTILE Permanent Fuel Administration Vrged as Means to Prevent In- ' rest Reaching Strike Stage. CHICAGO, Jan. 25. Dr. H. A. Gar field, former fuel administrator, in an article written for Farm and Home, declares the compromise that ended the coal strike to be "unsound in principle and a menace to our insti tutions." Dr. Garfield says: "The wages now paid to mine workers are sufficient. The oppor tunity that should be the mine work ers' cannot be secured merely by an increase in wages." In proof. Dr. Garfield cites the av erage of $960 per annum earned by the lowest-paid miners working 180 days in the year, while for 200 days' work the average miner in the bitu minous fields of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois earned $1150 in 19.18 and $1300 last year. This is "more by a considerable sum than the average net receipts of th farm er and many others who mayor may not work 300 days or more in the year," he said. Valoe of Dollar Important. "The public ought not to be asked to pay more for coal," emphasizes the ex-fuel administrator. "It is impos sible to increase the wages of the min workers without inciting the workers in every other industry, in cluding jf course the agricultural, to demand an increase in wages. This would send the cost of living upward In a vicious spiral, which would, in ing man. The purchasing power of the dollar and not the number of dollars received is the important fac tor. "The public is the chief sufferer when capital and labor engaged in the production of commodities neces sary to the support of life get to fighting," continued Dr. Garfield. "We may admit the right to strike on the part of labor and the right of capital to boycott, but in each case the right of th public to live is paramount and will be asserted. Industry iot Independent. "An industry charged with a public Interest, such as coal, can no longer be considered free to withhold its product from the public by any gen eral movement, whether of capital or of labcr. , "We now are celled upon to con template an arrangement with a group opposing the government which, however it terminates, is un sound in principle and a menace to our institutions." To guard against affairs reaching the strike stage. Dr. Garfield urges a permanent fuel administration as a consultive and advisory tribunal.

Approxi mately 10,000 acres of reclaimed land in Wyoming and Nebraska will be opened to homestead entry early in March, the reclamation service an nounced today. Applications for entry upon Irrigated farms composing tract of about 5000 acres in the North Platte valley project, embrac ing a large section of the border areas of each state, will be accepted from February 28 to March , it was said, while applications for entry upon another 6000-acre tract In the Shoshone '(Wyo.) project will be ac cepted during the week following. Drawings will be made to determine the right of entry in each case where two or more applications are made for the same farm. The North Platte valley tract, part of a project In whclh , hundreds of thousands of acres already have been reclaimed, by storing up the waters of the North Platte river behind the great Pathfinder dam, will i-e opened, it was said, on a water-service rental basis for the ,first three years. When the irrigation system has been en tirely completed at the end of that time, so the cost can be computed and assessed to the acre, the home steader will assume entry upon an ownership basis. The 10.000 acres comprised in these two tracts constitute the largest area of reclaimed land opened to the home steader in more than five years, offi cials said. Photo copyright by Underwood.

If Portland Were to Burn Thousands of valuable papers and a wealth of gold and jewels, now entrusted to flimsy office safes and bureau drawers would be lost forever. And fire, in office or home, may occur at any time. When San Francisco burned the places in which men store valuables were given the acid test. The ashes of that great conflagration were littered with "wTecked safes and crumbled vaults. But the Safe Deposit Vaults that had been properly built withstood the inferno. It took firemen at month to cool one huge vault sufficiently, but when it was opened every; paper was intact. The new Safe Deposit Vault we have just completed is stronger, safer and of better construction by far than that vault which emerged triumphant from the white-hot heat of a burning city. And, as added pro tection, above it stands the fireproof building of the United States National Bank. Surrounding the vault's own thick sides are heavy foundation walls and beyond them earth.
