ILAVAL'WILL SEEK! PEASANTS WELFARE Declares Any Economic Re-l covery Plan Must Pro- . tect Agricul sre. { ! By W Assoctatea Press. PARIB, November 19.—Plerre Laval, farmer and stock raiser of the province ot Auvergne, stands ready to offer his country’s co-operation in solving the world’s economic troubles, but at the same time, for him, the welfare of the French peasant comes first. “Peasants’ toll must be remunerative,” the farmer-premier told the Union of | Economic Interests yesterday, explain- | ing that France, “an essentially sound | nation,”. would join in efforts to solve world economic troubles, but that her exports must be defended and her home markets protected at a time when no one thought of lowering customs bar- riers, Feundation of Stability. “Our agriculture,” he said, “is not only a traditional foundation of our stabllity, but the nearest and surest customer for cur industry.” A greater proportion of the people is engaged in agricalture and related en- Jerprises in France than in any other of the Western World's great powers and the presence, with his prudence, shrewdness and sclid character is one of the national boasts of France, where the industrial Hcpulation is consider- @bly in the minority, Many of the dominant figures of French political life, including the pre- mier, President Doumer and Foreign Minister Aristide Briand, come from the villages of the provinces and maintain their residence there. Premier Laval studied law as he drove a dray in the Auverne Village in which he was born. Called to Account. The premier, who was summoned yesterday by the Foreign Affairs Com- mittee of the Chamber of Deputies, on motion of the Socialists, to give an ac- count of his visits to Washington, Ber- lIin and London will meet there, as chairman, Joseph Paul-Boncour, an old Iriend, who, though a Socialist, is a defender of France's announced policy of “no disarmament without guarantees of security.” Paul-Boncour has decided to remain at his post in the Chamber until the end of the year, altho he was re- cently elected to the Senate. He and the premier are former “pals” in politics—Laval started out as a mili- tant Soclalist—and they think alike on many of the more pressing problems of national and international import. HARD COAL INDUSTRY ON PROSPERITY BASIS Business Throughout Region Re- sponds to Million-Dollar Pay Roll in Mines. By the Associated Press. HARRISBURG, Pa., November 10.— Pennsylvania’s anthracite industry is buél on the million-dolar pay roll basis an snd the numercus smaller cities and burroughs effects of the largest wage payment in more than two years are readily evident. Merchants and bark- ers report activity and over all there extends a renewed confidence of the regional prosperity and one of the major indus- tries of the State. More than 26,000 miners, many of whom had had little or no work for months, the million dollars which the collierles released on their MX:'y‘ days. To all they constituted the full two weeks’ pay they had .. e general the industry today, however, is based not so much on the disbursement of the record pay Toll as upon the prospects ahead. Oper- ators and miners e, though their Weather eyes watch eagerly for the de- layed arrival of continued cold, have prepared for a busy Winter. All agree the industry is staging a good comeback, regaining Canadian and New England | markets, lost several years ago, and otherwise revealing its hardy strength. The bogey of strikes has been ban- ished by a stronger, continuing agre ment between union officials and oper- etors. John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers, has set up an arbitration board, which is viewed as a barrier against future labor troubles. MAN SLUGGED BY ROBBER William A.
