The recent coal strike caused a total loss of
$1,190,000,000, said a speaker before the Ameri
can mining congress in Cleveland. He asserted ihat if every family in the United States were to
pay $45 it would hardly cover the cost.
So much for the cost of the strike. President Harding has appointed the seven members of the
coal fact finding commission authorized by con
gress as a result of the strike. What the Ameri
can people want to know now is not the cost of the last coal strike, but what is wrong in the pro
duction and distribution of coal.
Some facts are obvious at first glance. We
know that we have an almost inexhaustible sup
ply of coal underground; that the annual con
sumption can be estimated to a fine figure ; that
the transportation systems can carry a definite
amount of the fuel to various parts of the coun-
try, and that there is an abundant labor supply
' to mine the coal.
Others are not so apparent. Chief of these
facts, in which the public is tremendously interested, is the percentage of profit taken by the
operators and distributors. The people know that the labor costs this fall are no greater than they were last spring, that rail rates are no
higher, and yet that the price of the fuel laid down in the cellars is considerably higher than it was in the spring.
Another factor that may be one of the deter
mining ones in stabilizing the industry, as well
as in preventing future strikes, is. the number
of miners actually needed to produce the coal
needed for our annual consumption. Is there an
overs upply of labor? Are mines idle part of the
year because the present number of miners is so great that they can mine our annual consump
tion in a few months of the year? The public also wonders if the storage facili ties and methods are suited to the seasonal de
mands for the fuel. If the miners could spread their work over a year, relieving the roads from
the congestion of transporting coal in vast quan
tities in the rush season, relief might be expected
from this source, say some investigators.
Stabilization of the coal industry cannofbe
effected until the commission thoroughly inves
tigates these phases and-presents data upon which remedial measures may be based. The
public has borne the burden of the costly coal
strikes long enough, and is insistently demandi
ng relief, based on facts and not on the conjee
tures and guesses of the operators and mine union officials.

TODAY'S TALK . By George Matthew Adams, Author of "You Can," "Take It," -Up" ' : THIS LIFE OF OURS To him of material mind, life Is just a happening, a puzzle without & solution, a dream that seems real but which never does take upon Itself form and realization In every-day action. Whereas to him who is spiritually minded, life exhibits a soul, a purpose, a grand expanse of opportunity through which his life is sieved into an existence tha is never-ending though full of change. Personally, I am Indifferent as to my origin. Though I am ready to believe that it is one of vast evolutionary beauty, bathed and cleansed by the1 thought and desire of a great Creative Mind, aU through every intricate and interesting step of progress. ' - I am happy at the thought of being related to the birds of the field and to the moving creatures of the earth. I like to feel that I am a part of one great whole. The great scientist, Agassiz, taking his stand for spiritual evolution, once put his thought in these words: "To me the fact that the embryonic form of the highest Vertebrate recalls in its earlier stage the first representatives of its type in geological times and its lowest representatives at the present day, speaks only of an ideal relation, existing not in the things themselves, but in the Mind that made them." What an astounding thought that all the energy which we as human beings possess, has come about at the expense of the sun! Tyndall says that "in an amorphous drop of water lie latent all the marvels of crystalline force." A materialistic fact. But H. M. Tichenor, in his interesting little booklet "Biology and Spiritual Philosophy," says that "to the spiritualist, a living cell is evidence of a Soul-source of life, just as a drop of water, containing life, is evidence of an ocean of water." What we are today, and all that we are, we owe to an early eingle cell! And anr bodies are in themselves masses of millions of cells. The Yogi of India recognize in these cells of ours a distinct Individual intelligence each cell minding its own-' business and standing ready to perform its duty at call; in health to'carry on the work of the body, and in time of disease to rush to the assistance of those other cells which seek to preserve healthy life each single cell, however, subservient to the master intelligence of the Mind. And in death these happy, useful cells scatter, change, and pass into other forms of plant or animal life thus to complete the plan of the one Infinite Mind that all is one and one is all!

Memories of Old Days ln This Paper Ten Years Ago Today
By FREDERICK J. HASKIX WASHINGTON, D. C, Oct. 13.
Three o'clock in the morning may suggest the end of a festive evening to
some people, but it is Bimpiy luncn time to 200 workers in the govern
ment printing office. At that dim hour
when most of us would preter dreaming about pie to eating it, the women
who eet the Congressional Kecora

The problem of securing the max

A year ago lunch meant a dry or
soggy sandwich out of a coat pocket,
eaten in the workroom, ur eise ;ii
meant a trip along a dark street to an
open-all-night restaurant. Luncn at 3 a. m. was a gloomy diversion at the best in those days.
Rut now the bie government print
ing office has gone in for humanized efficiency. The G. O. P. Cafeteria and Recreation association is functioning. Whe'n the 3 a. m. lunch bell rings the Congressional Record workers hur
rv into the elevators that, win carry
them to the new cafeteria on tne top floor of the building. After eating a
hot meal served at cost price, they
sDend the remainder of their free time
lounging in a rest room, or in the big assembly hall playing a phonograph
and perhaps dancing.
Cafeterias and recreation rooms In offices and plants are fairly common
nowadays. But the government print
ing office claims some unusual features along these lines. This government bureau is the first to organize eating and recreational activities on a
strictly co-operative and self-sustain
ing basis, with .employes forming the
board of directors and the various
committees. It is also the only govern
ment bureau to run a cafeteria serving
meals on a 24 hour a day schedule.
Until a year ago the biggest print
ing plant in the world made no special
effort to provide "extras for Its em
ployes. It gave 4,200 people jobs, and
provided them with up-to-date equip
ment, scientific lighting, and a hospital in case of accident. If -they wanted to play or to buy a cooked lunch they
went outside the building.
Then George H. Carter, public print
er of the United States, became par
ticularly interested in the lunch prob
lem. Cafes in the neighborhood of the
printing office were high priced or
din?y. Some 4,000 people, Mr. Carter
reflected, were eating around him
every day in the most impromptu fash
ion. He doubted if stale sandwiches
and tepid milk could be very efficient
and cheering stimulants for the after-
lunch work period.
Every inch of serviceable space in
the huge building was used for ma
chinerv and workers. But Mr. Carter
studied the pointed roof and the use
less attic under it. He decided that
the roof could be raised at the sides
to form a complete eighth story story.
He called his employes together and talked it over, and the result was that
the bureau decided to go into the cafe
teria business on a large and efficient scale. The government would pay for alterations in the building and for
equipment, and the employes'associa

tion would undertake to finance and direct the business. A fund of $4,5po was raised by contributions of one or two dollars from every member of the new association,
and with this capital, the cafeteria
started doing business January 23. Today Mr. Carter estimates that 350,-
000 meals have been served and the
cafeteria is Baving the employes of
the offica $200,000 a year.
Prices of the food served are said
to be from 25 to E0 per cent cheaper
than those in restaurants in the vicini
ty of the bureau. The printing office
sells soup to itself at six cents a bowl. Salad is 10 cents; sandwiches are five;
a pint of milk, six; pie and cake, eight;
and vegetables are five and eight cents. Even with these low prices the association reports that it has re
placed the $4,500 with which it started
and that it has made $1,000 profit in
addition.
The 24 hour day on which the cafe
teria is obliged to operate, runs
smoothly. The employe who comes
on duty for night work can get late
supper before he starts his shift, lunch
in the early morning, and breakfast before he leaves the office; while the day worker can get his three meals at
the cafeteria in a more usual order.
Several hundreds of the employes do take advantage of this opportunity to
eat all of their meals at the office, and
thus to save considerable money.
Nearly every employe, in the print
ing office eats lunch in the cafeteria.
Before it was opened those who brought lunch ate at the presses and machines where they were working
The cafeteria association decided however, that every worker should
have a change of environment during
the lunch period. Accordingly table.3
were provided in the cafeteria for per
sons bringing lunches from home.
For these employes too there is a short
order counter where they can quickly buy a cup of coffee or a piece of cako to supplement their lunches.
The entire floor of the big red printing office belongs to the employes. There are rest rooms, shower baths.
a well equipped bowling alley, and
a large assembly hall with a stage at one end. The employes bought a $1,-
400 grand piano for this hall. But their
sense of fitness did not allow them to
use so dignified an instrument for
lunch time dancing. So a sturdy up
right piano that could be hammered
without fear of injury was added to
the furnishings of "Harding Hall.".

After Dinner Tricks
No. 32S A Joke With a Coin Turn a tumbler upride down and place a penny on top of it. Cover the coin and glass with a hat and ask some one if the coin is still on top. Raise the hat and show that the coin ia still there. Repeat the procedure and ask the "wisest" spectator if he believes the coin is still on top. When he says "Yes." reply, "Well, I fooled you this time." The hat Is lifted and the coin Is seen still on .the tumbler. The spectator, will then become elated and will Bay, "Well, I told you the coin was still on top." But the joke Is on the spectator, for you calmly point out that the coin Is not on the top, but on the botton;, as the tumbler has been upside down all the time.
