Work Greatest
Need of World,
Harding Says
*’No Place for Loafers,” Presi
dent Declares—Opposed to
^ Nationalizing of Coal
Mines.
(Continued From P«*a One.)
States coal commission, made up of
ftlde and earnest men, has been en-, '
Raged in a thorough investigation of
this vital problem and will report
to the congress next December.
"It is going thoroughly in the labor
controversy, studying living conditions
and the community life in the min
ing regions, ascertaining facts about
the inadequacies which prevent
prompt distribution, inquiring into
engineering problems and tile eco
nomic errors incident to over develop
ment, looking to the excesses in prof
its reflected in inordinate charges for
coal, and preparing an exhaustive re
port on the entire industry. It will
bo revealing and, we hope, remedial.
We shall know the facts about a
basic industry, which is the source
of peril to the nation’s industrial life,
and a more or less continuous threat
to our domestic comfort, sometimes
a menace to life and health.
New Understanding.
It Is too early to say whether the
commission will suggest plans of per
manent cure which the congress will
adopt. I do know that It will bring
tis to a new understanding of a prob
lem which must be solved. We shall
have a publicity which will make
greed Impossible, and point the way
to solve a question which must be an
swered in behalf of a vital public
interest.
"Doubtless there will be a recom
mendation of vast storage during
seasons of least consumption to guard
against the heavy needs in winter or
in suspended production. Probably
there will be recommendations for
enhanced distribution, the need for
which is already proven. There may
be revelations as to cost of produc
tion, which will destroy price-making
abuses through insistent public
Opinion. I hope for the revelation of
economic blunder in operating
* lines half and quarter time. by
Ikloh the higher labor costs are made
fcfccessai y.
Asks Public lo Help.
Wleanwhile, we shall the better
fuard against Inconvenience and
ardship it the-consuming public will
help as best it can, without expect
ing the government to assume all the
responsibility.
"If the coal consuming world would
buy coal during the periods of scant
consumption, it would guard itself
against price panics and dangerous
shortage* when consumption is at the
peak. In the hope of lowered prices.
* the buying Is postponed anil that
very postponement is contributing to
a decided price increase. There is
need for some individual initiative
and responsbility in preparing for the
wintry days to come. There is a mis
taken notion that somehow the gov
ernment may wield a magic wand, or
strike with the iron hand and produce
cheap coal. It can do neither. You
can no more force the mine worker
to produce coal than you can force
the farmer to grow wheat or corn, or
wool. We saw that erroneous belief
exploded n year ago.
Haps at Mine Operators.
"Many mine operators, who were
as much responsible for the strike as
the workmen who struck, insisted
that under law enforcement they
could produce all the coal that was
needed. The law enforcement was
provided but no coal was produced.
There ran be no coal mining in free
America under ihe force of arms. But
if we understand tho situation fully
and justly, and men accustomed
lo produce coal will not work to meet
the public need, the public will pro
duce their successors.
"The common weal transeends
every other Interest and puts aside
i v ery obstacle. We will find the
solution. I hope we shall find it with
out further hardships or endangered
life or menaced industry. Hut we
shall not find it in nationalizing the
mines. That would be only another
step to the national.paralysis, which
a sane America will everlastingly
avoid.
"Nor shall we solve it by main
taining * basic industry like that of
bituminous coal production, under a
plan of operation which affords the
wine worker only a hundred or a 150
Working days a year. The normal
•nan, aspiring for himself and his
'amily, cannot live that way, even
hough he is paid what is seemingly
i generous wage, because his wage
days are not ample for a life of hon
«t industry and becoming thrift.
Cannot Dodge I'rohlrm.
"Such a problem is very insistent.
It can not lie dodged nor solved In
demagogy. It demands our liest

hope that in the search for a way
to full justice in dealing with coal,
we may find a suggested plan for
dealing with kindred problems which
are ever menacing our industrial
peace and hindering our full accom
plishment.”
The president's arrival at Cheyenne
was signaled In advance to the wait
ing crowds through an aerial escort
of five United States mail airplanes
which met the train about 20 miles
from the city and followed the tracks,
flying high above the train and drop
ping roses about the moving cars.
Upon arrival, the chief executive
was greeted by Governor Ross, Sen
ator Warren and a small reception
committee. After a public reception
and the formal address, the president
left for Ogden, Utah, where he is
scheduled to arrive Tuesday morning
for a brief stop before motoring to
Salt Lake City for an evening speech.
Big Crowd at Greeley.
The largest gathering (o greet the
president nt any nonseheduied stop
on the trip to date was at Greeley,
Colo., where the cliiefexecutive made
a five-minute talk. Noting that Gree
ley was a state educational center, he
asserted that "we are going to have,
some of these days, a real department
of education and public welfare.”
"X hope that realization will come
before the next congress closes its
long term.” he said. "I do not want
you to misunderstand me; I do not
favor the federal government taking
upon itself that responsibility for edu
cation which belongs to every com
munity in the United States, because
whenever a community loses interest
in and concern for its educational
activities, there is not anything to
hope for in this reputilic of ours.
Touches on Sugar Question.
"I have not come to talk politics to
you, but, as you know, there has
been considerable discussion recently
as to the high cost of sugar, and a
good many people have found fault
with the president because lie did not
exercise the authority conferred on
him by congress to raise or lower the
tariff to meet existing conditions.
"I at once caused an inquiry to be
made in the sugar situation and I be
came persuaded that a modification
of the sugar tariffs, so far as the
president had authority, would have
little to do with a decrease of price
to tlie American consumer, but might
destroy the American sugar industry
itself, to which the American consum
ers must look for stabilized prices in
the future. I believe, with all my
heart, in ample protection to the
American sugar industry, because, in
my opinion. American self-reliance in
the production of sugar will make us
free from tlie greed of great sugar
producing countries of the world.
"I am proud of the great develop
ment of the sugar industry in the
state of Colorado. I need not tell
you. my countrymen, that the govern
ment is also concerned wdth the good
I fortune of the people of the I'nited
States. Xt Is not concerned merely
with the good fortune of the corpor
ate interests; it is not concerned alone
with tlie good fortune of the captains
of industry; your government is not
alone concerned with the welfare of
agriculture: it has at heart deep and
abiding concern for the little fellow,
the one who makes up the great rank
ar.d file of American productive activ
ity. We want him to prosper, be
cause unless he does, real good for
tune cannot abide throughout the
X'nited States."

injured flowing towards the better
facilities of hospitals.
"With the flood of Injured moving
away, the firemen, throwing off their
rubber coats and helmets and fight
ing furiously beneath a torrid sun
to lift the heavy wreckage, began
their fight for the dead.
Among the first to come out were
the bodies of a young girl and a
white-haired woman, their arms still
thrown comfortingly around each
other. Apparently they had found
such refuge as the cars leaped the
rails and plunged on, heedless of the
frantic application of brakes as Ed

Clergymen on Scene.
In the wake of the tragedy ap
peared 10 clergymen who moved from
the dead, to whom they administered
last rites, to the less severely in
jured, whom they attempted to con
sole.
Edwin Parcells, the motorman, aft
er being dragged from the wreckage,
was arrested on a charge of homi
cide. Officials who flocked to the
scene, led by Mayor Hylan, investi
gated. They were aghast at what
they quickly branded the criminal
use of wooden cars and hurriedly
plunged into the problem of finding
who w-as to blame, w'ith a view to
dealing out Justice.
"This is a terrible calamity," Mayor
Hylan declared after investigating
the scene of the wreck. "Someone
should be indicted. The wooden cars
and rotten wooden structure are to
be blamed, in my opinion."
Gerhard Dahl, superintendent of
the "Jj." said the use of wooden cars
would be discontinued immediately.

plaint yesterday which caused the ar
rest of Anna M. Crowley, who has
been a trusted employe of the Marks

ing which time she has supported her
aged mother. It was charged that
she defrauded the company out of
$11,000 during the last four years.

company, accompanied Mr. Shaeffer
to the central police station after the
issuance of the warrant, to turn it
over to the police.
