In that they are fully justified, for it is attribute to them something for which they are not responsible. It is easy of course to figure out what the increase in the cost of pro- duction is going to be ‘when' the wages of the miners are raised a fixed amount, aud it-is' that raise in pro- duction cost- which ‘the operators are supposed to pass along to the con- sumer. . But it is because that is so seldom the case and because the ad- ditional cost of a ton of coal is in- variably several times the increased cost of production that' the ' buyer howls and the miners are trying to make clear that they are not to blame. Perhaps it has been the misfortune of ‘those ‘who deal in coal that they have been obliged to shoulder in- creased costs for other reasons than the’ payment of more money to the miners. Such might be increased rail- roag or water rates and higher wag: for handling it locally. This is not an unreasonable claim but it is ene that can be readily substantiated when it exists. But with such in- creases to be added to the selling price for the retailer that does not give the mine owner the excuse:for piling up his charges per ton to sev- eral times what the miners’ advance amounts to because of the increased allowance. The consumier has long realized that he must bear the burden of higher expenses as they are added all down the line, but his increaseq bill should correspond with these added expénses. If-it means 25, 40 or 60 cents a ton additional to mine coal under the new wage agreement that and no more should be added to the price hy the operators, The miners are willing it should be said they are responsible for that, but they do not prepose to be charged with raising the price a 8ollar or two dollars a ton when such means the public is being gouged | the difference between what they ought to pay and what they are obliged to pay.

In an interview day with The letin corrospond- lent Mr. Rogers said it was the inten- tion of the committee to act on the | suggestion. made by Mr. Lansing and which had been conveyed to the com- mittee some months ago-in executive sessions. For several menths Mr. Rogers, as acting, cheairman has ' been holding conferences with all _those whom he believed could speak with authority regarding the foreign ‘service: of the United States, and getting their ad- vice as to most effective and efficient reforms. He then co-ordinated the best features in a bill which he ft- ed and introduced in congress, and which is_still pending. B Thus measures will be the subject of hearings starting about May 1st, and will continue several weeks. ‘Much edueational work must be done before .congress is in a mood to_adopt a_systematic _programme of drastic ‘changes and it ‘is net tllk‘sug};’t proba- pu ble such legislation can through by the first of June, either a recess or adjournment planned. - Said Mr. Rogers, “We are going to make the-stite department ] <| better worth while for men to go into. Because of that we have been dis~ posed to .deal with the situation by legislating against others who ~want to come to the land;of ‘opportunity. And ‘we realize now that we are still in need of the assistance that can be| given by the immigrant as a laborer. We also realize. our shortcomings in the way of aiding those, who came here to live, to become better ‘citizens. It s not surprising therefore ‘that the Inter-Racial Council inits ses- sion in New York should recommend| a more efficient basis for dealing with the immigration question ‘in this country, It is time to avoid the con- fiicts that have - been'- experienced| among federal authorities and it is time that the best possible handling of our immigrants ang the problems connected therewith should be ob- Probable the most important function of government is to be adequately represented abroad,” and Mr. Rogers makes it very plain that he belleves the quality of foreign service at pres- ‘ent iS ‘not - what”is' needed, ‘and be- lieves congress should ‘take steps to make it more attractive to young men of ambition and ability. He pointed out that foreign service:is divided in- to two parts—the diplomatic and con- sular service.” The -consular service,” he explained” takes care of our for- eign trade and as a result of fairly recent legislation our consular of- ficers receive fairly adaquate sal- aries with excellent prospects of pro- motion’ coupled with permancy of “office. : The diplomatic service is wretched- 1y paid and has absolutely no assur- ance of worth-while promotion or permanent tenure of office. A secre- tary in.the diplomatic service starts in “he illustrated,” at $1,50¢ a .year, and after fifteen or tweny years in service he has distinetly made good and he may hope. to get a salary of "$30000 a year. ‘That is the maxi- mum. We have to have-high grade men of -extended education, who can speak at least one, and usnally two or three languages beside English. The absence of either future or salary means that there is only one appeal open—an appeal on the social side. The cost of maintaining the duties of the position are high, so a poor man finds himself automatically excluded. The result is, as a rule, only the rich and butterfly class is interested to enter. Snohbishness and spats are frequently the only aparent asset of some of the secretaries. The diplo- matic service and the consular ser. vice are now two water tight com: partments. There is no interchange between them.” Mr. Rogers added: “My remedy is. three fold—F'irst, to provide for pro- motion to the rank of minister, worth-while secretarfes. This will give them a future which is now lack. ing; second, to give them a decent living wage commensurate with the expenses which they ' must main. tain; -with the specialized education which they must have' obtained before entering the service and with which they must-hdve obtained before en- tering the service/ and with the im- portance of their dutie This will enlarge the field of elizibles because it allows young men without means to tered. Third, to provide for the easy inter-change between consuls and secretaries. . Many a secretary would make ,a better consul and many a consul wouid make a better secretary. There is no reason why there shouid not be fluidity between those two sides of the United States foreign service.” » In Yeply to a question Mr. Rogers said: "“I would accomplish this by amalgamating both services into one, to be known as “The foreign service of the United States.” I would then allow easy and frequent interchange, as a matter of administration merely, of secretaries and consuls. The additional experience which would thus result would be of benefit both to the individual and the service. I also hope congress will provide a training school for foreign service akin to Annapolis and - West Point. This plan would insure a large num- bér of thoroughly grounded men in the science of diplomacy and foreign trade. There is nothing of the sort in this country although France has worked it out with good results. As Secretary - Lansing recently said, some changes must be made.in the department at Washington. Most of this can be done without legislation, but the foreign offices which I regard as vastly more important, requires action by congress. -1 have introduced a proposal to give effect to the vari- ous provisions as I have just outlined them.” Mr. Rogers, who has the matter in charge, is arranging for testimony at the hearings to include the advice of such men as John Bassett . Moore, Former Secretary- Lansing, Herry White, former Misister to Holland Gerrett, as well as officials of the state department. The, old fight for jurisdiction over the commercial attaches which has been the cause of long drawn out con- tests between the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce, under = the Department of commerce, and the consular service under the state de- -partment, is in no-way. responsible for the reorganization programme, so Mr. Rogers stated. The business inter- ests of the country do not seem ready to entrust the commercial attaches to the state department service. When pressed for a statement on that sub- ject Mr. Rogers said, “I think that congress and the business interests of the country are not satisfied with the department of state. That is why they alloW the department of commerce to retain -the commercial attaches.” Mr. Rogers made it clear that the in. creasing foreign trade must e pre- tected :and closed by saying “If the deparement of state, after being giv- en a fair chance in this legislation can make good and Win ‘the confidence of the: business .interests, the very desir- able result will, in my judgment, fol- low and all aspects involving our foreign relationships will be combined into one natural depository—the de- partment of stat Cultivating the Soil.

Leonard Wood, Conservator of Amer- icanism. : By Eric Fisher Wood. Cleth illustrated, 351 pages with index. Published by George H. Doran Com- pany, New York,'N. Y. Price $2.00. The story of Leonard Wood puts be- fore the American public the first adequate and authoritative biography of.a man who has come to occupy a dominant position in our national life. Leonard Wood's chief characteristic ig a whole-souled devocation to the ideals of Americanism. These ideals have so permeated his being that he has be- come the very incarnation of American democracy, energy resourcefulness and constructive effort. [ The story of his life.is toid here by an-able biographer who skillfully up: record, beginning with his colonial ancestors and his boyhood on Cape “od, and following his remarkable years of service in the United States Army, in the Geronimo Campalgn, his ‘gallantry at San Juan as colomel of Rough Riders, bis friendship with ‘Theodore Roosevelt, his great achieve- ment as miiitary Governor of Cuba, when his skill as physician wipe o8t vellow fever, as Goverhor of the Méro Provience in the Philippines and his career as military administrator. It is a story of remarkable accom- plishment, tireless in its effort, broad in its vision and soundly American to the last "detail. For its great range of experience and outstanding ad- ministrative success, Leonard Wood's record_has hardly a parallel in Amer- ican life today. The Meantime Need.
