1 COAL WHOLESALERS j ^ URGE CUT IN RATES ^ Te.'l Railroad Executives They Should Cut Wages First if It Setms Necessary. V, Washington, Oct. 16.?The Ameri- j, ?an Wholesale Coal Association through its President, W. R. Coyle of Bethlehem, Pa., sent a telegram today to the Association of Railroad Executives recommending a sharp cut in rates on coal and coke, accom- j panded if necessary, by a further re- ^ cfaction in wages. "Our customers, the consumers of ^ coal, are asking why their coal re- q. mains so high," the tedegrams said. so "You and we know that coal has jx come down and that lower prices to at them can come only with lower rates. y "The people are impatient over| the delay in adjusting rates, we| g( recommend that you announce at 0l once a sweeping downward revision ev of the rates on all coail and coke. If he necessary, we recommend that you WJ announce further reduction in wages to take effect simultaneously with ^ the new rate schedule. It is our opin- ov ion that such an announcement, im- ^ mediately made by you, will be a j &t( - great aid to business revival, as coal is an important factor in the opera-; to tion of every factory and a necessity1 jc iirthe heating of every home." 1 INTEREST IN MOVEMENT be Of interest not only to Presby- 53 terians but members of other denominations is the announement; ^ that members of the laymen's mis-' cc rwvTvorv of the Southern ui S1VUU.J .... , .... ? { U1 Presbyterian church will take an j ^ active part in some of the items on j fe i the progressive program. It has been' ^ decided to make use of the four-j minute men of the movement in pre- j jr senting: Tithing, in December; the Use of the Family Altar, an January; | m the Every Member Canvass, in j ^ March; and the Call to the Ministry, i e{ in August. I 01 The laymen's missionary move-! v( ment has grown rapidly within the g( past two years. It was organized for ^ ' the purpose of doing much of the cj work heretofore devolving on the ^ ministers; and workdny with the w mdnisters, it has accomplished a great w deal.

Chicago, Oct. 17.?The railroad otherhoods have a strike fund of 5,000,000 which is insufficient for^aj meral strike of any length, John runau, president of the United Asciation of Railway Employees of orth America and leader of the untthorized Switchmen's strike of last ;ar, declared today. Grunau has issued a circular to the 1,000 members of his organization itlining the association's position in ent of a strike, but declaring thot s does not believe there will be a! ilkout. He pointed out that the brother>od leaders have weakened their' m ranks by circulating reports that, e members of his organization will! ep in as strike-breakers in revenge j r the efforts of the old organization break the Grunau strike in April, 20. Grunau denied any such inten>n. "There are thousands of our mem* irs walking the streets today while eir families suffer," the circular ys. "Why? Because when we were on rike in 1920 for 165 days the re gnized brotherhood leaders esta-; ished strike-breaking and scab j jrding agencies in all terminals af-. cted by our movement, causing our j ;feat." The circular concluded with the' onical statement: "The so-called oulaws will not ex-: ;1 any of their members for par-! cipating in a strike, whether orderly their leaders, or by another ganization. Neither will they re)ke the charter of any local that >es on record to participate in a rike and most positively this assoation will not establish strike eaking or scaib herding agencies as as done by the famous brotherhoods hale the members of our associa3n were on vacation last year." Grunau said his mi ion has 216 cals in the United States and Canat. Under the name of the Chicago irdmen's association he called a rike in 1920 that for a time threatted to paralyze the nation's transudation facilities. Two other labor organizations outie the sixteen standard bodies, an>unced that no strike votes had sen taken. 0. J. Luhrsen, president tuu A111C11VCH1 X i.

According to the Pickering theory two clays and a half ?of sunshine on the cloudless and atmosphereless moon warms it sufficiently to start the vegetation, some of ' which reaches maturity in two days. On 9uch vegetation the eclipse wouH come as a killing frost The earth is kept warm over its short night by the blanket of atmosphere, especially water vapor, which absorbs and holds the heat but n the absence of any such heat retaining envelope the moon presumably sends heat rebounding into space almost as fast as it arrives from the sun. The moon's atmosphere, if there is any, is several hundred times thinner than that which governs climatic conditions along the line of perpetual snow on earth. "However, Professor Pickering believes that two crops grow on the moon during the fourteen-day spaa of sunshine in some parts, so that the moon inhabitants, of doubtful existence, will not necessarily suffer a famine."
