The regute business of the convention bega Friday morning and continued earl $ild late until Sunday evening ^ Much business came up for discu; ion, many new departments wei created and several departures alor new lines were made. Forty-five si cieties reported. There was an ii t crease of nearly $500 over last year benevolence. The total contributor - ? - -f- J passing through the secretary s nam was more than $10,000. The chi J- dfeh'd societies reported more tha $i000. These reports showed growt and were very gratifying to tli churches. On Friday evening Dr. Ramer c Alientown, Pa., traveling missionar to the Slovaks of the United churcl He talked most interestingly on th subject of Christian Americanizatioj B He pointed out very clearly ohr dut [ to these new arrivals on our short K and our very close relation to the: j 'particular peoples from a denomins [ tional standpoint. L One of* the most interesting fe; P=f tures of the whole convention was! the inspiring: presence of Sister | Elizabeth of St. John's parish, Char} leston. She told the story of the ( growth of the deaconess work, from its beginning centuries ago in Ger.uny. She ended her talk with a stirring appeal for recruits, telling ' most beautifully incidents from her own years of service.

"Called to the Colors" was the name of this J beautiful offering. -The church, the world, truth, righteousness, salva~ tion, capital, labor and various other , things were impersonated. The dia! logues were interspersed with spirited * hymns. The tableau at the end when ? the Christian flag floated with the r Stars and Stripes over the heads of ; the participants, a most beautiful ef0 feet was achieved and made a fitting finale. This pageant was planned to instruct through the eye as well as the ear and surely carried the les1; son home. 1 The next on the nroffram was a ^; talk by Mrs. Stirewalt, the recently " returned missionary from Japan. In her quiet way she gave vivid pictures 1 of the flowery kingdom and phases j 0 of the life there. She told all about \ a " the wayside shrines that dot the country sides and ended by holding up to view a small idol begging that Christ be sent to them instead. 5 On Sunday morning Dr. Brown, e secretary of the board of foreign missions, preached a strong sermon, base ing it on Phil 1:27. He set forth onr * duty to the people yet without Christ, s saying that they judge Christianity e by representatives of the so called Christian nations whom they meet Dr. Greever preached on the subject of inner missions, basing his re* marks on the good Samaritan.' He outlined a field of usefulness right J at hand, the Lowman-home at White Rock, and urged the convention to do its part towards enlarging the plant within the next two years. The committee on resolutions made their report and an offering for ? starving India was taken. Mrs. Kreps then declared, with a few chosen r words, the convention closed. .

New York, Nov. 5.?United States Senators William Calder 'and W. E. Edge, members of the senate committee on .reconstruction, in a joint statement here today announced that "unless the coal industry reforms itself and cuts prices to a reasonable figure by December 6 they will introduce a bill for the most stringent regulation of every branch of the business." The senators declared they do no: undertake to say "that this individual is a profiteer and that this one is not, but the coal industry as a whole stands self convicted of practicing gross extortion on the whole public of the United States." "We are both opposed to govern oe q nnlicv." the IIlCJll/ icguiatiuu^ no u ) statement said, "but the government I mu3t assume responsibility for its j people, and we will recommend a j bill for entire control of the industry j ! just as far as possible under the conjstitution unless prices are materially ' reduced to the public by Decern- < ber 6. . "We are deadly in earnest about ^ this. We are both conservatives on . ? the matter of government ownership, but we are absolutely disgusted with this situation. The country has been < i justified in the past 'in thinking that j < | an investigation of the kind con- < ducted by this committee never < amounts to a hill of beans. Our work i would be of no value if it merely resulted in a report of 2,000 pages to 1 be filed and not read. The coal in- ^ ! dustry stands self convicted. [ "The wrongdoing has been ad- ( mitted by D. B. Wentz, represent- . ing the National Coal association, to 3 | Commissioner Clyde B. Atchison of ] the interstate commerce commission 1 and Daniel Willard, representing the * railroads. There is a general confes- ^ si on on the part of the industry even 1 though guilty individuals have not 1 been identified. The reformation of these evils is their own concerrt pri- 1 marily. Most of the leading coal op- " erators realize that and are seeking 1 today to clean up their business within. That is the only salvation. If ] they can't solve their own problems, we will have to use drastic means 5 i to solve it." 1 The senators declared they are not ^ here "to decide definitely who or ] what particular element are guilty." They asserted, however, that "there is guilt somewhere among operators . and speculators, who fix prices." "With 46,000,000 more tons of j coal produced so far in 1920," the statement added, "there is no rea- , son for high prices and coal short- ^ age." ] ifcent in the Columbia hospital.
