Pittston or Wllkes-Barro one does not hear so much about th'j wase question. The proposition to continue operations after August 31, while further negotiations are pending, docs not sound well to the men. They argue that they have no weapon left In case the Operators set out to string them on into the winter with conference after conference. When they are asked why they won't arbitrate, they reply, "Why arbitrate when you are sure you are right?" Distrust V. S.

Coal Commission. Moreover, the report of the U. S. Coal Fact Finding Commission, headed by John Hays Hammond, has wounded the miners, particularly the statement that both union men and company heads broadcasted propaganda without regard to facts. The men are glad that tho operators are scolded but Indignant that they t30 should be suspected of having an axe to grind which might be swurg cn the neck of the public.

A general Impression exists In the highest union circles as well as In the lowest that the Federal Commission is packed against them. The reports have irritated them and resulted in much loose talk in tho mine fields. The miners refuse to consider hard coal in the light of a public utility. The men blindly follow their lead, era. They have Implicit faith in them.

When one appears in the role of a trickster, rightly or wrongly, they fire him out. The miner has come to look upon the operator as the traditional enemy of his peace of mind. A union leader does not as a rule have to ascend In lofty flights of oratory to marshal his men for battle. One thing's, is certain: Whatever Lewis, Capelllnl and other officials decide shall be done will be done. The union war chosts need replenishing.

Preparedness to the miners means money to curry on a strike when other means fall to bring agreement. The strike of last year gnawed a big hole in the hard coal union treasury. It has been patched up. Now the chest must be Obviously, a quick way would be the oheckoff. It is money which makes the mare go and it is money which makes a union powerful, Juat as it Is money which makes the operators formidable.

This and the bits outlined above constitute the union's case. Their probable action? "It Is up to the other side," they say.

Main oll. COAL AT ONCE NO HUMBUG FLEER BROS. BROOKLYN ind QUEENS i York City wria iiiy 1 Slc or Shine large tent 8 7 tw. n. Chas.F.NqyesOx U8 William New' York Talsphons John Stores Ask for One Uncompleted Institution Put to Use to Diagnose Seasonal Malady and Asthma.

The unfinished buildings of the Victory Memorial Hospital, 7th ave. and 92d which prior to the World War was known as the Bay Ridge Hospital, are being used for the first time since their partial completion in 1917 to house what Is probably the only hay fever and asthma diagnostic department In the world, under' the -direct supervision of Dr. J. Francis Ward, an authority on the new serum treatment for hay fever. The department does not undertake treatments but confines Its activities to diagnoses, which are made along the advanced lines of ultra-modern medicine, and are free.

Hay fever sufferers are tested with the various pollens responsible for this malady until the substance responsible In an Individual case is determined. A solution, of which this pollen forms the base, then Is prescribed and the patient reports hack to his own physician, who obtains the solution from a medical laboratory and Injects It as he would a serum for any virulent disease. In asthma cases tho method of diagnosis Is more or less similar but the treatment varies In that the patient Is desensitized to the disturbing substance by inuring his system to It through graduated doses if It Is a food product, and by removing him from the source of nythlng affecting him externally. The department Is equipped to treat 200 patients at each public session, and sessions are held on Monday, Wednesday and Friday nights of each week at 8 o'clock. Although the cause of both diseasei occasionally Is very obscure, requiring sometimes as many as 70 tests, usually positive reactions are obtained readily and the sufferer knows within half an hour what is responsible for his trouble, For example 48 cases of hay fever were tested last night and positive reactions were obtained in 60 percent of them.

It only remains for these patients to report to their physicians for Injections of the particular pollen offensive to them. Protein Asthma Cure. Just as hay fever may be caused by any one of a large number of weeds and grasses, asthma may be due to a specific protein in food, animal dandruff or to the hair or fur of animals. Where the latter cause is responsible the cure Is simple keep away from the Bourse, if the trouble Is traceable to food proteins the diagnosis and treatment are both more complicated. To cite an extreme instance, if an Infant develops asthma symptoms which are found traceable to milk, a substitute food la ordered; and then the little patient Is given gradually Increasing doses of milk until its system has become desensitized or Inured to the disturbing element.

The same principle la followed out If the protein responsible Is contained in a certain meat or vegetable forming an article in the diet of an older sufferer. Although not widely known among the laity, these methods of diagnosis and troatmcnt already have won the endorsement genorally of medical science. The Victory Memorial Hospital, where the department has been Installed, was organized in 1906 under the name of the Bay Ridge Hospital. Work progressed slowly, due to lack of funds, and finally, in 1917, the project came to an abrupt halt with one wing and the administrativt building of tho Institution completed except for the Interior. At the close of the World War the Institution was renamed the Victory Memorial Hospital as a lasting monument to the Brooklyn boys who died overseas.

It Is the hope of those behind the hay fever and asthma department installed in the administrative building that this restricted activity may lead eventually to the general functioning of the hospital.

Other Reasons for Checkoff. "But that Is only one reaeon for the checkoff." he continued. "Progress costs money.

The checkoff assures us of funds to carry on at a minimum of expense. The locals will receive only about 15 cents out of the 75 cents or or 81.60 a month collected from each man. Salaries must be paid. The worker for the union is as worthy of his hire as the worker for the companies. Benefits should be paid and the check weigh-men must be paid." Che check weighmen are union officials prescribed by law and stationed at the weighing depots to see their tallies for coal mined agree with the company's.

Their chief Job iB to shield the miner from over zealous company weighers, who might dock him for too much rock and slate In his coal or shortweight him on credits. The miners are paid on piecework. The problem or benefits is one or the old sores of the coal mining industry. Men who go down into the earth to dig coal take large risks every day. Undetected flawed timbers, gasses.

boulders and what not threaten them from all sides. It only takes one accident to leave a miner crippled or his wife a widow. He draws 112 down to 88 a week, according to his disability. On this he has to feed and clothe an average of seven children. He pays an average of 815 rent and even has to buy coal.

His 12 a week Is not precisely financial comfort. The union then appears In the role of a charitable agent. And this doer, not take into consideration a pro. tracted button strike, with two or three thousand out and all clamoring for a lift to tide them over. I'nion Claims All Credit for Improve ments.

The union officials "Inim the United Mine Workers of America are the 'jread and butter, home and lot and peaceful security of the coal miner. They point to the Improved condi tion or the niiner today and taKe an the credit. "It is a straight and simple question," said Capelllnl. "The companies don't want the union and are trying to prevent its becoming the complete agent for the employees, who want Itt by blocking the checkoff. Our demand is justified.

It Is not too much." The company cannot legally and arbitrarily dock a miner for his union dues. No law of the land entitles It to tell its employees where to spend even a part of their wages. But the United Mine Workers have a way of getting around this difficulty. "No coercion Is planned," the president of District No. 1, said.

"When S. D. Warrlner, the operators' chairman, asked mo the same question at Atlantic City I told him that the miners would voluntarily authorize the companies to do It. The authorization would be in writing, too." Not only would the checkoff assure the union money but it would also save It large sums, is the confident claim of the men's leaders. One of these economies would be the elimination of men Bent to ths mine: entrances to see that every man go lng to work has a button of membership with him.

When a miner or a laborer goes down below to his maze of, Borrowings from which the coal Is blasted, gathered up and trundled out In a mine car to the sunshine, at laBt bound for modern civilization and its family furnace after thousands of years of evolutionary suppression, the agent In this minor cataclysm of evolution must be a United Mine Worker of America in good standing, armed on the spot with his button. Paring Down I'nlnn Overhead. With the checkoff In operation, buttons would not be needed, since enrollment would carry with It a voluntary assignment of union dues from wages, livery memDer wouia always be in good standing. If no buttons were needed, no watcners at the entrances would be needed. Tho checkoff would mean cutting down union overhead.

No matter what angle of union activity, viewpoint or demand one attempts to Investigate with union leaders, everything always comes back to the checkoff. It is the spectre which stalks up and down the Lackawanna, Wyoming and Susquehanna valleys, a pleasing sight to tho miners and a frightful exasperation to the operators. The union leaders have sat their hearts on It. To them it moans more than a matter of dollars apd cents. They call it "a principle Involved." Although the checkoff was denied by President Wilson's coal com.

mission In 1920, the miners are unable to see that this denial ban them from renewing agitation for It In 1923. They Indignantly deny there Is anything radical about it. To them tho checkoff Is an Innocent little demand, the granting of which will not seriously inconvenience tho operators but will Immeasurably strengthen tho union with Its own followers. The demand for the "closed shop" ih really the handmaiden of the checkoff. Both of these wore nounced In The union, which Ik practically 100 percent effective In the anthracite area, wants to ce.

fOarly dispatches from Britjsh cor-respondents Indicated the good na-tured American reception of the Guides report, and this Is applauded here with the comment: "Americans know how to tuke a punch." The Dally Mall correspondent says the report, "coincides with the viewj of American officials with an Intimate knowledge of the conditions. Others say that it Is known that Kills Island olflclals approve fleddes' recommendation that Immigrants should he examined In their own countries before embarking. The Morning Post slyly observes that fleddes brought forward the great difference between washed and unwashed humanity, which no social system has been able to level, much less Kills Island. "So It Is not surprising that even voluntary vlctltos among the washed, like the Rrltlsh Ambassador, sigh fur th" 'comparative amenities of Slug Sing' Hut the unwashed' are. more ehurltahlo.

If you had made up your mind to buy a lot suitable for a modest home for your family in the Flatbush section of Brooklyn, New York City's greatest Home Borough, what do you think you would have to pay for it? Even if you could arouse the interest of a skilled real estate man to hunt for a lot for you and he was successful in locating one that he believed you would like, you would discover that you could only buy it from someone who has already paid others two or three profits. That is exactly what has happened in Flatbush.

For many years this popular home section of New York City has been growing by leaps and bounds. And land is the hardest thing for the home-seeker to find, unless he is prepared and willing to pay high prices. And all this is due to the speed at which Flatbush-Brooklyn has grown. The two million people in Brooklyn are being added to day by day. And the newcomers are flowing out along the line of natural development down Ocean Avenue beyond Prospect Park, overflowing Flatbush, which only a few years ago was one of the boundaries of Brooklyn's residential section.

the tides of population have encircled the park, overflowing Flatbush In its' march to the sea. With the tearing down of the iron fences that for years have enclosed what is today the Sheepshead Bay-Harkness Estate, the last handicap to the greater Flatbush is overcome. Now Flatbush can over flow-get buy a few lots buy a block if you can afford it. (Special to The Eagle.) Jamaica, L. I Aug.
