(By A. P.) A high wage scale en paper with no work will net help the miner, but n fair wage scale, with regular work, will build his yearly earnings te a basis of American living and allow the coal op? orators te offer cheap fuel te the con sumer nnd reduce the producing cost of all commodities, Hnrry N.

"Bn.it the miners' organization must be purged," he said, "of the radical nnd revolutionary leadership thnt has sprung up in ninny districts before it can hope te regain its standing In pub lic esteem."

"Becnuse of the rapid growth in the minfng industry nnd the position, of in creasing importance that it has and win continue te nssume for the Natien as a whole, there should be no question thnt it is entitled te cabinet represen tation," Senater Nichelson bald. Themas II. AVatkins, president of the Pennsylvania Ceal and Coke Company, said there would be little need for regu lation of the coal mining industry if Congress would re-establish the rail roads en an efficient basis, nnd take measures te prccnt illegal nntiennl strikes.
