Them —— “Legislative Matters” Given As
Reason For Gathering-Last Parley Feb. 2.

 

i PHILADELPHIA... Feb. 11.—(AP).

 

Another serious effort

a to end the long anthracite strike is being made. This time the

scene is again

in Philadelphia. where the operators and miners

broke ‘up their last parley on February 2.

The negotiating committee of the
operators and.“ the sub-scale com-
mittee of the miners. are in Phil-
adelphia. but not in direct touch with

F I, each other. The operators are in the

Ritz-Carlton hotel while the rriners
are in the Bellevue-Stratford across
the street.

Both sides deny there is anything
directly pending between them. In
fact. each gave the same reason fer
the assembling here~"leglslative
matters."

 

Representative George F. Drumm.
Republican of Pennsylvania, told the
House yesterday that President Cool-
jdge should do what Roosevelt did—

t call the miners and operators to-
gether and tell them that if. the, fall
to reach an agreement he will take
over the mines and operate than for.
.‘the benefit of this public. a

' Mr. Brumm. who comesmfrom a
mining district. said the cd'unt'ry’hed
confidence in the President, and he
felt sure that as soon as the‘Presl-
dent ’wss‘in possession of the facts
he weald intervene. Up to now. said
Mr. Brurnm, the President has not
been properly advised on the exact
situation in the anthlacite region.
He suggested that the President call
On the miners'and operators if only
,- get accurate information on the
ubject.

"The President should use the
powers of his great office." Mr.
Brumm declared. "for widespread
suflering and general stagnation of
business now exists in my estate as
‘a result of the strike. Let him call
in the ”disputants and let him ask
them to settle their dlfllculties
through an impartial board or corn-
mission."

.“Why have not. you Pennsylva-
nians taken the case to the White
House?" Representative Boylan. of
New York, inquired. “Why haven't
you insisted that he intervene?"

"We saw no point in doing that."
Mr. Brumm replied. "for we felt sure
that in the end the President would
see his way clear to convincing the
two parties.”

Past Exalted Ruler's Night was
observed at the regular meeting of
Norwalk-Lodge, No. 709. B. P. O. 15..
last evening in the newly altered
lodge rooms. in the ‘Elk's Home.
Retired rulers filled the chairs. They

Esteemed Loyal Knight—Stanley

Treasurer—Thomas A. Skelly.

Esquire—Henry F. Berg‘mann.

Chaplain—Patrick Brophy.

By a. large vote it was decided
that there be a slight increase of 84
a year in dues. which is felt to be
very reasonable. considering the
new addition to the home. and new
improvements and advantages. It
was also voted to raise the initiation
fee to 850. effective October 1. 1926.
There is still opportunity for a num-
ber of candidates to enter the order
at the old figure.

The formal dcdlcationland public
inspection of the home will take
place in the early spring.

The American Legion of Falri‘leld

Members of the Norwalk Kiwanis

dily. Attorney Jesse Dunbar deliv-
rrcd an address on Abraham Lil»

Attorney Dunbar said:

When your worthy President ask~

that I might speak on any subject

Abraham Lincoln. So very much
has been written and spoken about
Lincoln that the principal problem
which confronts one in speaking for
twenty minutes upon a. character so

have suggested that as one coming
from that section of our common
country which opposed the party
and the principles represented by
Lincoln through four long. desper-
ate. heroic years. the most lamen-
table in our history. I might be able
to present a different point of view
and I diffrent side to the subject
from what which you ordinarily sec
or meet with in discourse of this
nature; 1 must say. however. that
in the matter of .the nobilip and

ter of Abraham Lincoln there are

5 View Behind the Scenes

In a talk of this brevity I shall
,not altcmpt any biography of Lin-
gcoln or any analysis of his charac-
‘tcr but will only endeavor to give
I“ few side lights by which both his
l life and his character may be more
lrlcnrly seen. While not presenting a
different point of view in regard to
Lincoln it may assist if we look upon
the stage which is being dot for his
great career in the Presidency as
view from behind the scenes on the
other side.

We may recall that when the Fed-
eral Constitution was adopted. slav-
erv was common. both North and
South. and the Constitution recog—
nized the situation. As time went
on. due to climatic conditions. the
difference in the kind of labor per-
formed. and to foreign emigration
to the North. slave labor became less

"This is Very six-mucus weather
for the oyster fisllrrmvn. what with
the biling cold. the raw winds and
the almost impregnnhlo ice." said Mr.
David B. Decker. one of Norwulk's
lu‘st known oyslrrnicir imlay while
discussing the effort of the rrmut
storms on thr- “llnlf shell" industry.

"lion‘cler, we are doing the best
:hnt no can, working when the worn.

lilo-r pl‘ri‘ul’ls. and When the no v'illv‘

allow us to reach the oyster boils."

Mr. ”Decker stated that in spite
of the intensity of the recent storms,
\f‘l'_V' little damage to Norlxlilk's 0y-
slcr beds had resulted. This. be.
cause of the fact that though the
gains were severe, they were not of
Sllmt‘ICnt duration to cause damage
to the life on the ocean or sound
beds.

“A 70 to 75 mile gale from the
East. lasting from 40 lo 50 hours—-
that is the sort of storm which plays
havoc with the beds." said Nlr. Deck-
cr. “causing great swells in the
solind. which swoop 721 : oysters {Loni
their attachments. carrying some of
them into the shore and many out
to sea." i

Although the cold hampers to
some extent. the work of the oyster
fishermen. as Mr. Decker says. they
are all used to the "rough life" and
don't mind if. Wrapped up in heavy
clothing, thick mittens and high
boots. they manage to keep warm.
Then too. the shoveling necessitates
r‘uitrv a little exertion which keeps
the bodily temperature up.

“it is the ice that holds up pm.
cross." said the oysterman. “It is
necessary for the boats in many
cases to hack their Way through the
heavy ion and then when they finally
do arrive at the oyster beds. too
often they are unable to break
through the frozen surface at all.
“'0 are hoping for a. thaw."
