And the be glad if the fuel commission would | ajd them to use the soft coal in the proper way, Many statements to the manner of burning it—the safe way— have been made. Those statements are confusing and involved. Possibly they have not been seen by some of those who will have make this fuel this winter, If soft coal is treated and burned as hard is burned, there are bound to be accidents. On the other hand it seems that soft coal is burned pretty generally some | parts of the country with few unpleas- ant results and with practically no serious consequences. It would the fuel commission would formulate an people would | as best to use of coal in facilitate matters if authoritative statement, brief, understood, as to the build, ignite and keep burning a soft coal fire for built to burn hard coal.

THE ONLY WAY It would seem that there is but one way in settlement be made in the railroad strike which will nder by one which a may involve no complete surre side and no promises by the railroads to new men and to men during the strike seem to be the obh- stacles preventing settlement, promises being such that restoration of seniority rights in certain cases is impossible. How many of those roads have made such promises not known. Locally the New Haven road has made representations to new men which must be if honor and the value of spoken word is to re- tain its place of importance. But settlement which involves the destruc- tion of unions should be The way to a settlement would in- volve concessions on both sides. Both roads and unions would fafl ac- complish what it is said they wish to accomplish. But transportation would be resumed without the now prevailing. Under supervision of the Labor | Board let tke.roads restore seniority rights on the roads where new men or old men have not work through promises which would prevent this restoration. As those men who went to work or who stayed at work leave the through death | or giving up their jobs or through in- | efficiency, let the old men, now, who would have had those rights | be given them again. For each man” leaving the striker receive back his seniority rights. Let not those vaiuable rights would be the case if a new man, hav- | ing gained them because of his going to work in this crisis, 1eft the employ- ment of the road, were this suggestion not to obtain. Care would have to be | talken that no pressure was brought to bear upon him by union men to make particularly valuable ae yet. More of | such men will leave their jobs than is | expected, More rights would be restored, under this| arrangement than might be supposed. And the restoration of rights would then come withoht the break- ing of any promises to men who went to work or stayed at work relying upon them. ‘y Labor accuses the roads of trying | to break up unionism.

LEADS IN WIRELESS (Returns From London and Is En- thusiastic Over Progress Here London, Sept. 8.—Willlam who has just returned to from his Américan tour, {s enthus- fastic over the vast progress made in | wireless telegraphy and telephony in |the United States since his last visit.In |an Interview today he declared that |the Americans were far ahead of the English in broadcasting and in wire- |less development generally. “The Americans have reached a greater perfection of detall than have |the British,” the famous inventor |sald. “The clearness of speech and the remarkable ease with which mes- |sages are received in the United States are amazing.” ; | Music Clearer Mr. Marconi said the music trans- ‘mllted by wireless in America was |much clearer than the phonograph. |“It is in fact,” said he, “as loud as |many American jazz bands, and that is saying a good deal. The party on our yacht were able to dance to music sent out by the broadcasting |station at Schenectady, N, Y. In crossing the Atlantic, Mr. Mar- {coni was able to make numerous tests of the behavior of what is called atmospheric disturbances, These tests |seemed to confirm the opinion that !the disturbances which interfere with | wireless originate on the continents and not on the sea. When he was near Europe, they all came from the |east, or European side, whereas, when he was in mid-Atlantic, he found |that the disturbances were few and | |weak, and that they were coming |trom pretty well all around. On nearing America, the disturbances |from the European side were very weak, while those from the American side were more marked.

A joint meeting of meibers of the | | Chamber*of Commerce and Rotary | | club was held in connection with the | regular Rotary luncheon yesterday, at |which Howard Strong of the Ameri-| can City Bureau was the prlnclpali | speaker. | | Mr. Strong spoke of the anclent feeling that the tradesman or busi- nessman was a trickster, a liar and a cheat. He stated that the prejudice against tradesmen, so abhorrent to the | American, had its inception among the traditions surrounding the story of King Arthur and the Knights of | the Round Table. Accepted business | principles were cited, including the “’ollu\\'ing: “Dog eat dog;" “Every | man for himself and the devil take the hindmost.” | | He told of the development of a fair business, ethical business and the Chambers of Commerce, Kinafis clubs and Lions clubs were named as the causes of the improved status of bus-| iness today. | .
