Davis, secretary of labor, in an address at Labor Temple here last night opposed strikes on the theory they could be avoided easily by mutual understanding between labor and capital. He defended child labor laws and advocated a striet immigration law. "Strikes might easily be averted if the committees nqireaenting both labor and eapital would meet around council And payable "There is no one who will question the right of labor to organize. It has the same right as eapital. The man who advocates cheap lalior is not much of an American, to my notion of thinking. I am opposed with all my heart and soul to the socalled living wage. It is not American for a man to receive just enough to live on. If a man is only to get just enough for hi toil to pay all of the bills on Saturday night, I say it is all wrong in our land. I am against the living wage and in favor of the saving wage. There should be enough in the envelope each week so that the American family may live as human beings. There should lie enough so the children may he educated. There should be enough so the things in life worth living for will not lie crowded out. e, es . 1922, Axle The Ruckstell adds to the Ford Car resale value Two-Spee- meek-liilx- m Two-Spee- 11 Axle d ferred to a new car. w S.

If the land were known to have been coal in character on that date it would be the property of the United States. Hearings were held sucessively, until finally the secretary of the interior rendered a decision in which he held that the known coal character of all school section land might he determined by geologic interference and deduction, rather than from actual exposure of a seam. A rehearing was applied fur and denied October 31st of this year, an indication so far as the secretary of the interior was concerned, that this legal point was settled. Neither the Pleasant Valley Coal company nor the state of Utah, however, had introduced evidence at the outset as their request was that the application of Braffet lie dismissed. Monday last Kelley was directed to represent the United States in a remanding of the case to give the state of Utah and the Pleasant Valley people an opportunity to introduce evidence to show that, within the opinion held by the secretary of the interior, that coal lands might be determined through ge ologic inference and deduction, still the state of Utah did not know that the land in question was eoal at the time of admission aa a state.
