S m Distress Among Coal Miners THE convention of the United Mine Workers is under way in Indianapolis. John L. Lewis, the president, faces an other of the many fights which have marked hi3 career as a mine union officer. At the opening of the convention Mr. Lewis described the condition of the mining of soft coal as "this deplorable state of profitless operation, pauperized wages and resulting misery." Such is in truth very much the situation in the coal mining industry. But it i3 likewise true in the lumber industry, the textile industry, and to a lesser extent, in the oil industry. These are all essential in dustries, yet ruthless competition is almost wrecking them, both for owner and manager and employe. Mr. Lewis proposes federal legislation to emancipate the miners from barbaric mismanagement. Indeed that is a difficult task to undertake, for one loiows not how to chart such a course. If it were merely the fault of management, surely that would have been corrected long ago by propriet ors concerned because of recurring strikes and vanishing dividends. Wages in the mining industry have declined out of real necessity if the industry was to carry on in the face, of less ened demand through increased combustion efficiency and substitution of other fuels. Day labor in mines which was $7.50 by the Jacksonville scale is now from $4.40 to $6-00 in the better grade of mines in western Pennsylvania. The old scale was 73c a ton for loaders; the prevaUin wage in the best mines is from 47c to 60c a ton. Other ac lines have been proportionate and some of the large operators pay even less- Yyjuie ami.

The preliminary announcements of the "covered waaron centen nial" celebration say every na tional organization Is being asked to "join In paying tribute to these builders of our nation," and that "already plans are completed for the cooperation of the public schools of the nation through the National Education association, in a program of all-Amerlcan history stuay." Also the Boy Scouts ot America, the Playgrounds Associ ation of America, the Girl Scouts and the historical societies are in terested. There will have to be formed a general committee for outlining and carrying on the work of prep aration for the 1934 centenary celebration. This should be done soon.

Four years would be at lona time for "one to hold his breath. But It is not too long a time for the work of preparing for the 1934 event, which should begin on er soon after June 19, 1934, as on that date in 1884 Jason Lee and the members of his little arty crossed over the crest of the Rockies and set foot on the soil of the old Oregon country, and camped within Its b rders.
