A LUCID DISCUSSION OF THE
BITUMINOUS COAL SITUA-

FELLOWSHIP.
By James Whitcomb Riley.
When a man ain't got a cent,
An’ he's feeling kind of blue,
An’ the clouds hang dark and heavy,
An’ won't let the sunshine through,
It's a great thing, O my brethren,
Yor a fellow just to lay
‘His hand upon your shoulder
In a friendly sort of way.
If makes a man feel queerish;
It makes the teardrops start,
An’ you sort of feel a flutter
In the region of your heart;
You can’t look up and meet his eyes,
You don’t know what to say,
When his hand is on your shoulder
In a friendly sort of way.
©, the world’s a curious compound
With its honey and its gall,
With its care and bitter crosses;
But a good world after all.
An’ a good God must have made it—
Leastwise, that is what I say,
‘When a hand is on my shoulder
In a frieendly sort of way.

“I’M A PENN STATE MAN.”
Three years of untold hardships, a
mad jumble of fear, cholera, plague,
starvation, massacres, prisons, march-
es, brutality, fighting, and then—ty-
phus. A tottering refugee, his mind
a blank, he could recall but two
things: That he wanted to go to
America, and that he was a Penn
State Man.
This is the story of “Tommy” Sred-
nik, of the class of 1912. Graduating
in the course in chemistry in 1912,
“Tommy” returned to Russia, his na-
tive land, to make good in his profes-
sion. In 1917, with his wife and child,
he was living in Petrograd, where he
held a responsible position in a man-
ufacturing plant and was rapidly ris-
ing to leadership in his work.
Then came the Bolshevist revolu-
tion, and realizing to a degree what
was coming, he started his wife and
child across Siberia to Japan and
America. As the revolution became
more virulent, he himself was forced
to flee. At Rostiv he attempted to
save his money by expressing it to a
bank in London, and then with a non-
descript horde of refugees he tried
desperately to leave Russia.
Followed the three years of horri-
ble nightmare which he but dimly re-
members. His one idea was to get to
America to his wife and child. In
February, 1920, he was found in Odes-
sa, wrecked by typhus, his papers
burned, his money gone, his mind
shattered, but with two things clear;
he wanted to get to America, and he
was a Penn State man.
This statement which he reiterated
with frantic earnestness, drew to him
the attention of the American Red
Cross which sent him across the Black
Sea to Prote, Turkey, with the first
lot of refugees. By the middele of
June he had recovered his memory to
the degree that he could give three
State College names: Di. Sparks,
Professor Willard, and Professor Pat-
tee.
Mrs. Margaret A. Caldwell, Red
Cross nurse at Prote, became attract-
ed by his case and wrote the details
of it to Mi. John H. Caldwell, of Bos-
ton, urging him to make investigation
and it possible to secure for Srednik
a permit to enter the United States.
An inquiry from Mz. Caldwell was re-
ceived by the College and it was a
matter of a few minutes to verify that
Srednik was a Penn State man of the
class of 1912.
Professor Willard, who alone of the
three men mentioned was at the col-
lege at that time, convinced the au-
thorities at Washington that the case
was genuine and permit to sail was is-
sued to “Tommy.”
The hardest blow of all, however,
was still to fall. Upon his arrival in
America, he found that his wife and
child had died two years before of the
influenza. Utterly without means—
the money he had sent to London hav-
ing been confiscated by the Belshevi-
ki—and in shattered health, he began
life again in Philadelphia.
Perhaps alone of all Penn State
men, “Tommy” Srednik can say: “I
lost my memory, but Penn State I did
not forget; and because I did not for-
get her, I am still among the living.”
Forbid that any one be put to the
test of Tommy Srednik, who, when his
mind was otherwise blank, did not for-
get he was a Penn State Man. Alum-
ni, students, and ail the citizens may
find a time when Penn State may be
of aid. The Commonwealth of Penn-
sylvania is our campus and our field
of public service. Now is the occasion
of Penn State’s need; now the oppor-
tunity for all to arise and meet it with
a subscription to the $2,000,000 Emer-
gency Building Fund and thus become
gr honorary, if not active, Penn State
an.

Farmers Urged to Make Cider.
Farmers are urged to convert their
: surplus apples into cider vinegar, for
which there is an excellent market in
practically all sections of the State,
according to James Foust, of the
State Department of Agriculture.
Foust says it is an economic waste
to allow apples to rot on the ground
with apple cider vinegar bringing
from 20 to 23 cents a gallon. He
points out that under the rulings of
the prohibition authorities, farmers
‘may convert their apples into cider
and keep the cider until it has turned
to vinegar, without securing a permit
of any kind, all technical rulings hav-
ing been set aside.
When the farmer sells cider, how-
ever, he is in danger of violating the
prohibition laws of selling a beverage
containing more than the legal
amount of alcohol. :
Farmers who desire to sell cider,
should post themselves on the laws
by securing the latest rulings of the
prohibition enforcement officers, Foust
says.
———The “Watchman” gives all the
news while it is news.
about the real questions over which
| the miners, the carriers and the op-
erators have been wrangling since
early in the spring. They are great-
ly involved and as is usually the case
when the public suffers it takes snap
judgment and damns everybody con-
cerned.
The following statement by the
Watkins Coal company, one of the
large producers of western Pennsyl-
vania, is so clear as to the probable
effect of the “Cleveland Agreement,”
under which the soft coal men went
back to work on August 15th, that we
have published it with the hope, that
the “Watchman’s” readers, at least,
will be better informed of a situation
that all are vitally interested in.
" FIRST.—Abandonment of the “Cen-
tral Competitive Feld” as a method of
wage negotiations.—For 25 years a
basic wage scale has been negotiated
in four States of the Middle west, ef-
fective for two year periods. These
wage scales were invariably forced on
Central Pennsylvania and the mining
districts in 24 States without regard
to the competitive conditions sur-
rounding them, and caused frequent
and serious trouble. Our employees
have been drawn into two national
strikes within three years without
presenting to us a single grievance or
demand. This persistent cause of
strikes has now been removed.
SECOND.—Immediate resumption
of work on wages and conditions of
March, 1922.—President Harding, at
his Washington conference, proposed
a return to the “status quo” pending
a thorough investigation of all phases
of the industry, with arbitration of
wages and other disputes. This fixed
the terms of any provisional wage
scale.
THIRD.—Renewal untii April 1st,
1923, of former wage contracts.—
Wages payable until April 1st, 1923,
are not subject to revision or arbitra-
tion. Sufficient time does not remain
to conduct the necessary hearings and
make any complicated revisions or ad-
justments in the provisional wage
rates, which are effective for several
months.
FOURTH.—Provisions for impar-
tial @ommission of Inquiry to make an
exhaustive study of whole industry,
with recommendations.—Both the
United Mine Workers and the opera-
tors signing the Cleveland Agreement
have agreed to submit every fact and
figure of their industrial activities to
a public committee approved or ap-
pointed by the President of the United
States.
To assure the neutrality and the
prestige of this Commission it has
been agreed that a joint national com-
mittee of miners and operators will
endeavor to select a panel which com-
mands mutual and public respect.
Speaking plainly, both the operators
and mine workers want practical men
of national prominence and highest
character and are fearful of a com-
mission that can even be imagined to
have a political or partisan complex-
ion and appointed on the eve of an
election. On the other hand they rec-
ognize that the public and the Admin-
istration will probably distrust a com-
mission named by the operators and
miners. Therefore, they have made
the President’s approval a condition of
the naming of a commission, and have
furthermore asked him to appoint i
in his discretion in case they cannot
agree on a panel.
The personnel of this Commission
is of extreme importance.
FIFTH.—Coliective Bargaining re-
stored.—The deck having been clear-
ed of obsolete and dangerous practices
the U. M. W. of A. and the operators
agree to assemble on October 2nd, and
to attempt by collective bargaining to
establish a new and equitable system
of negotiating wage-agreements.
SIXTH.—Future Wage-Agreements
—Beginning January 3rd it is arrang-
ed that such scale committees, as may
be designated at the convention of
January 2nd, will immediately under-
take the negotiation of wage-agree-
ments to replace those expiring March
31st.
These scale committees will have
the recommendation of the Commis-
sion of Inquiry as their guide.
SEVENTH. — Protection against
another strike in April.—The public’s
greatest protection against another
strike in the spring lies in full public-
ity as to the causes of national strikes
and full knowledge of the conditions
existing in all bituminous fields.
These facts should be developed and
published in full by the Commission
of Inquiry in January, 1923.
The recommendations of the Com-
mission should be published at the
same time.
If another disastrous tie-up of the
nation’s fuel supply occurs, on account
of a failure of either party to comply
reasonably with the recommendation
of the Commission, the responsibility
can be easily and promptly fixed. The
Administration can then act to pro-
tect the consumer, backed by the irre-
sistible force of public opinion, based
on knowledge of the facts.
PEE——
Vacation is Over.
Again the school bell rings at morning
and at noon; again with tens of thousands
the hardest kind of work has begun, the
renewal of which is a mental and physical
strain to all except the most rugged.
The little girl who a short time ago had
roses in her cheeks, and the little boy
whose lips were then so red you would
have insisted that they had been “kissed
by strawberries,” have already lost some-
thing of the appearance of health.
Now is a time when many children
should be given a tonic, which may pre-
vent much serious trouble. No other is so
highly to be recommended as Hood's Sar-
saparilla, which strengthens the
perfects digestion and assimilation. It
aids mental development by building up
the whole system.
Equally good as a medicinal preparation
are Hood's Pills, which are so well adapt-
od for both children and adults. In small
doses they are a gentle laxative, in larger
doses an active cathartic. 67-35

THIS STATE HAS MORE AUTO-
MOBILES THAN MOST COUN-
TRIES.
Pessimists and knockers and mem-
bers of the Ancient Order of Gloom
got a jolt when the 1922 automobile
registration figures for the United
States came out, according to Hibner-
Hoover Motor Co., Goodyear Service
Station dealer.
“Despite generally adverse business
conditions and the fact that thousands
of cars went out of service, the peo-
ple of this country own 1,428,773 more
automobiles and trucks now than they
did a year ago, an increase of 15 per
cent.
“It means just two things—one,
that this country is a long ways from
being broke, and two, that automo-
biles are not regarded by the people
of this country as a luxury to be
bought only in flush times.
“As a matter of fact Americans
bought within the past twelve months
nearly as many cars as the rest of the
world owns together. Statisticians
figure that there are about 12,800,000
cars running in the world, all of
which, but about 2,000,000 are owned
in this country.”
Some interesting figures in regard
to automobiles owned have been col-
lected.. For example, Great Britain
has about 497,000 cars, Canada 463,-
000, France, 236,000, Germany 91,000
and the next one down the list is Ar-
gentine with 75,000.
There are only twelve States, his
figures showed out of 45 in this coun-
try which do not own more cars than
Argentine.
“This State alone with a registra-
tion of 732,348 owns more cars than
any foreign country in the world.”—
Exchange.
BEING YOUTHFUL
PHILOSOPHERS.
When we hear the word “philosc-
pher” spoken, most of us naturally
connezt it with some gray-bearded pa-
triarch. We are given to believe that
all philosophers are old, and that phil-
osopny, as a thing to contemplate, is
meant only for old men.
The truth is quite the contrary.
Philosophy, as a rule of life, is as
much for young people as for cold. In-
deed, every young man or young woin-
an should develop an individual rule
of life, based upon uplifting princi-
ples, and make that a “living philoso-
phy.” No matter what our education
or training, or what vocation or call-
ing we elect to follow, we still have
our individual problems to solve. No
outside organization can solve these
for us—they can help and guide and
direct, but the actual solution, and the
actual living, is up to us as individu-
als.
From th beginning of time, the
actual advance of humanity has bee
promoted by individuals. In reading
history we read more about the gieat
personages that rise here and there,
and which predominated in certain |
areas, than we read of armies, cou
tries or of nations.
The greatest individual, and there-
fore the greatest philosopher was the
Master himselt.
himself a philosopher.
phy was a life of service. He “came
not to be ministered unto, but to min-
ister,” and in this He let the truth be
known that he who would be great,
must serve. Such was the philosophy
of Wesley, of Knox, of Calvin, of
Washington, of Lincoln.
‘The true philosopher, then, is not
so much the one who advises as who
actually lives. He teaches by doing.
And all of us, old and young alike,
can be philosophers of that sort. The
poet Whittier has told us in one of his
immortal lines: “To worship right is
to love each other.”
