SUPERIOR, Wis, August 30 Anxious for an authoritative report on the political situation in Michigan, President_Coolidge has invited Charles Beecher Warren of Detrolt and former Ambassador to Mexico to visit him today at Cedar Island Lodge. Mr. Warren constitutes one of the many sources of information on the political situation in the Middle West and Northwest which the Chief Execu- tive intends to tap before returning to Washington. Senator Capper of Kansas, | former Senator Lenroot of Wisconsin and Secretary West of the Interior De- artment, who is a resident of linols, have already given Mr. Coolidge in- formation regarding their States.

No charges were placed against Dudrow pending the outcome of Casey's injuries. e-earners in this country, he de- clared, do not earn a sufficient amount to support themselves and their fami- lies decently. He urged a real examination of the question whether the family of the underpaid worker, whatever its social | standards, “can live decent human lives on less than decent wages” and ex pressed the belief that “such an quiry, honestly made, would produce a disquiet of conscience in pe son capable of that feeling.’ Another modern evil, Dr. Ryan said, is economic insecurity, as represented by the number of workers unemple at least temporarily, through o fault of their own. The last fundamental defect in our industrial system, how ever, he said, concerns the wor status. Honest students know. he sal that the belief that the average wor can escape the life of a mere wal carner no longr is in accord with the facts.
