AMW%NEREA%%ENTI P G R 190 Per Cent of Boys and Girls Fail Bacharach So Assures Coolidge e in Telegram BY GEORGE, H. MANNING (Washington Bureau of New Britain Herald). ‘Washington, D. C., Aug. 25.—The American people, who will suffer seri- cus hardship from a coal strike, are with the president in his efforts to avert”a walk-out of the anthracite miners, President Coolidge was today assured in a telegram from Congress- man Isaac Bacharach of Atlantic City, one"of the foremost and most influ- ential leaders in the house, who pledged ¢ him his support to secure from copgress any legislation needed to-meet the situation, Congressman Bacherach, a member of the svays and means committee, told the, president that the public is not in a temper to be trified with in regard to its coal supply for next winter, and asserted that the needs of the country cannot be subordinat- ed to the personal demands or either capital or labor in the conduct of a public service of the magnitude of the anthracite coal industry, Congressman Bacharach's telegram to President Coolidge reads as fol- lows: 5 “Commending you very strongly upon the earnest consideration which you have already given to the threat- ened coal strile in the anthracite fields, I respectfully urge you to use every power at your command . to bring about a prompt settlement of the difficulties which have divided the conference of operators and miners, The coal situation is the most im- portant question confronting . the country today and your genuineg ef- torts to prevent a strike has the firm approval of the general public. The people of New Jersey who would suf- fer much by a strike are with you dnd if legislation is needed to give you . further power either at a spe- cial or the regular session of congress you can be assured of my support.'” Mr. Bacharach, whose home is in Atlantic® City' where the conferences between the operators and miners have been held, has kept. in close touch with what has gone on ip the conferences. In commenting today upon the distressing outlook in the anthracite situation, he said: “Having in mind Ahe distressing conditions caused by the sliortage of coal -last winter, when' it was almost impossible to get coal at any price, it | is almost incomprehensible to think of the possibility of another coal strike, with its attending distressing conditions, being foreced upon the pub- lic_and something must he done to force an agreement between the op- erators and miners. “I am not opposed to the miners seeking an adjustment of the wage contract so that they will get a good day's pay for a good day's work in keeping with: the American standard of living, but a settlement of the con- troversy which will force the price of | anthracite skyward and out of the reach of the people of moderate means would not be a satisfactory set- tlement. The consumer -might just as well be without anthracite. at all| if the price is to be put so high that | he cannot afford to buy it. " There must be a happy medium upon which both sides can agree- and which will be fair to the general public. “President Coolidge, coming from an anthracite using state, has taken | hold of the situation in a business- like manner, for which he has the re- gpect and commendation of the peo- ple, and I hope he will soon make both operators and miners realize that there is a greater interest than their | own invelved in this controversy—the interest and well being of the people dependant upon a supply of coal this winter.” ' Positions, Chicago, Aug. ~Lack of a gense of responsibility, unwillingness to work hard, lack of thoroughness, false notions about salary and promotion, and lack of principle are the five chief reasons why 90 per cent of the boys and girls of the United States lose their first jobs, according to a re- port made to the Chicago Association of Commerce by A, D. White, stat- istician of Swift and Company. Mr. White's report noted that 90 per cent of the boys and girls lose their first positions. The report also shows ‘that in nine cases out of every ten, the loss of the position can be traced to one of the five reasons. His report centinutes: “Lack of a sense of responsibility is shown by neglect of work, failure to put the most important things first, and the expression of a general ‘T should worry' attitude “Unwillingness to work hard, is shown by being late to work, stretch- ing the lunch hour, and stealing a few minutes at the end of the day, watch- ing the clock, and wasting time by social conversations and telephone calls during hours, “Lack of thoroughness, is indicated most frequently by unwillingness fo begin at the bottom and to go through the drudgery of mastering each step | before going ahead, | "“The real secret of promotion lies in ! constantly doing more than you are paid to do. Keep yourself underpaid. | As soon as you are overpaid you are bound to go backward. “Lack of principle is shown bv con- cealment of mistakes, untruthfulnes and the constant making of excuses, GERMANY APPROVES Associated Press, Berlin, Aug. 26.—Approval of Chan cellor Stresemann’s latest expression on the reparation issue is voiced today by the press of all parties, By The CAUGHT WITH LIQUOR Revere, Mass., Aug. 26.—A patrol- man who saw two motor trucks go-9 ling toward Winthrop early today wait- ed to see what they would bring back and on their return intercepted them, found that the cargo was 4,000 gal- lons, of - alcohol and arrested ~the drivers, PENDER RESIGNS.

Above-Board Circulation PROGRESSIVE publications belonging. to the Audit Bureau of Circulations have adopted an open and “Above-Board circulation policy. They lay hefore advertisers circulation facts that have'been verified by experienced auditors. Advertisers, before the advent of the A. B. C. were forced to depend upon heaisay circulation information and unverified “sworn statements” of circulation. No detailed figures were available and no verification was possible except at great expense to the advertiser. Nowadays advertisers look to the A. B. C. for dependable, un- biased circulation information and select their advertising medi- ums accordingly. Today™91% of the circulation of papers having over five thousand circulation is audited by the A. B. C. It should not be long before every newspaper goes on record with A. B. C. membership. This will make it. possible for every advertiser to use detailed circulation facts, covering the entire newspaper field. This will permit a fair comparison and eliminate guesswork from the pur- chase of space. - The HERALD is a member of the A. B. C. and would be pleased to submit a copy of the latest circulation report. . OVER 9,000 DISTRIBUTED DAILY The HERALD has by far the LARGEST CIRCULATION of any New Britain Newspaper.
