01, SAYS GARFIELD
Compromise With Coal Min
ers Held Unsound.
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.

10,000 Acres of Reclaimed Land
in Wyoming and Xe.braska
to Become Farms.
WASHINGTOX. Jan. 25. 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.

BALKAN PROTEST HEARD
Montenegro Says Allies Rave
Trampled on Rights.
PARIS, Jan. 25. A strong note has
been addressed to the peace confer
ence by the Montenegrin government
at Neuiliy in connection with the dis
cusslon of the Adriatic question. Pro
test is made against the "manner in
which Montenegro's sovereign rights
have been trampled on," and it is
declared that the supreme council "has
deliberately, without consulting the
Montenegrin people, taken decisions
in flagrant contradiction to its pre
vious decisions.
The note concludes by reminding
the peace conference that the "king'
dom of Montenegro is your ally, not a
conquered enemy; a sovereign and
constitutional state whose rights the
allies should respect the same as those
of any great power."

WHOLE TOWN JOINS NAVY
CROSSVILLE MARSHAL LEADS
POPULATION" TO EXXIST.
Similar Campaigns to Man Super-
Dreadnoughts X an led After
Other States Proposed.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25. With the
completion of a successful recruiting
campaign in Tennessee to obtain
enough native Tennesseans to man
the new superdreadnought Tennessee,
it was intimated here tonight that
similar campaigns would be con
ducted in other states, after which
superdreadnoughts now under con
struction have been named.
Superdreadnoughts which are now
being built are the California, Colo
rado, Maryland. Washington, West
Virginia. South Dakota, Indiana. Mon
tana. North Carolina. Iowa and Alas
sachusetts.
As an illustration of the enthusi
asm manifested in the Tennessee cam
paign, the navy department cited the
action of the town marshal of Cross
ville, a small town, who led nearly
all of the young men through th
streets to the recruiting station and
signed for a cruise on the Tennessee.
As he wrote his name on the recruit
ing blank, the marshal remarked
that as nobody was left in town, his
usefulness to the town had ceased.
SPAIN OPPOSED TO ROSEN
Appointment of German Minister
to Madrid Protested.
BERLIN, Jan. 25. Spain has pro
tested to Germany against the ap
pointment of Dr. Rosen as minister
t .Madrid on the ground ol his par
ticipation in the Moroccan negotia
tions, with which he was identified in
the Paris deliberations over the pro
gramme of the Algeciras convention.
Although Germany is no longer
concerned in the Moroccan situation,
it is believed here that Spain's atti
tude toward Dr. Rosen is dictated by
recognition of the fact that the issue
is likely to come up between Spain
and France and that Spain merely
wishes to -spare French sensitiveness
by suggesting that the German envoy
to Spain have no connection with the
issue.
SWISS BACKING HOLLAND
Refusal to Surrender ex-Kaiser
Meets AVith Approval.
GENEVA. Jan. 25. The decision of
Holland not to deliver the former Ger

created great interest among govern
ment orncials and in political circles
generally, as Switzerland is in a simi
lar position with respect to a dozen or
more high personages now residing In
Switzerland who may be asked for by
the allied powers. The Dutch point
of view is approved here, mainly on
the ground of hospitality.
Count Hohenzollern's attitude, how
ever, is much criticised. One paper
says: "The grand royal EuroDean
poseur who attempted to dominate the
world now becomes a simple military
aeserier. iet mm alone with his

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.
It is the uttermost of safety that this splendid vault offers you. Use it
for convenience, for the safety of your belongings and for privacy. The
cost is very small
