    BRITISH MINERS
POSTPONE STRIKE
PREMIER LLOYD GEORGE SUG
GESTS BASIC LINE FOR
COAL OUTPUT
PAY SUBJECT TO PRODUCTION
It Is Realized That Strike At This
Time Would Prove Unpopular
With British Public
London. Ah a result of a further
conference with Premier Lloyd George
concerning the threatened coal strike,
the miners' executive body decided to
to the delegates of the
./liners, who wore in session recently,
that the strike notices which are ef
lective, he suspended one week, to
enable the miners to meet the owners
as suggested by the premier.
she premiers proposal was that a
basic line be fixed for coal output
at a sufficiently low level to insure
a wage Increase if any reasonable rate
of production is maintaned.
The recommendation of the execu
tive body wuh followed by the miners’
delegates at their meeting later, and
.t was decided to suspend the strike
notices one week, as requested by the
premier.
The conference was deadlocked at
adjournment, hut the decision was
made immediately after the men reas
sembled the next day.
A great many miners who originally
voted to strike did so in the belief
that Premier Lloyd George could be
driven, as in other negotiatons, to
yield to the demand for increased pay.
Jt was realized a strike now would
prove unpopular with the British pub
lit anti even radicals among the lead
ers, such as Robert Smilie, desired an
other vote when it waH Heen the pre
mier could not be coerced.
During the coming week the miners’
leaders will confer with colliery own
ers, regarding the output of the mines.
The proportion of increasing output
provided wages went up is one of the
sticking points in the negotiations.
CALIFORNIA ANTI-JAPANESE
LEGISLATION IS EXTREMELY
OBNOXIOUS TO NIPPONESE
Tokio, Japan.—The Washington
government will be asked to appoint
a commission to effect a solution of
Japaneso-Ainericun problems and in
Hie event of the passage of the Cali
fornia anti-Japanese legislation tho
Japanese government will arrange for
a lawsuit against tho California leg
islature utt the ground that the hill
is unconstitutional and a violation of
the treaty rights of the Japanese, ac
cording to the leading newspapers
here.
The newspapers suy the above pro
gram was defined at meetings of the
cabinet and the diplomatic advisory
council.
Washington.—Reports in the Japan
ese neyvsnupers that the Japanese cab
ined run advisory council had decided
to HjK the United States to appoint
a commission to effect a solution of
Japanese problems created surprise
at the state department /.'here efforts
to effect an understanding by diplo
matic means are still being made.
It has been made clear Unit the
state department has no intention of
attempting to influence the result in
California. H is said that should the
legislation be adopted an understand
ing with the Japanese government on
the result of it might be obtained in
two ways- one by a treaty modifying
action taken by a state or by action
in the Uultcd States courts.
To invoke the first method Is said
to be no part of the plan of the stute
department. The second method is
btMieaed to have been suggested in
Conversations and may have beou the
basis of the reported decision of tho
Japanese government to resort to the
courts to determine tho constitution
ality of such legislation.
Capitalist Slain And Buried In Cellar
Los Angelos. Cal. -Discoverey of
ttie body of Jacob Charles Denton,
local capitalist, who disappeared four
months ago, buried under several tons
of earth in a Uermeticuty sealed box
in the cellar of a house at 6T5 Cata
lina street, brought to light what the
police characterized as the most weird
murder mystery in the history of the
city. Physicians said Denton had been
dead about three mouths.
Called To Explain Cause Os H. C. L.
Chicago.- Managers of one large
hotel and three chain restaurants
were summoned to the city hull to ex
■ plain their restaurant prices to the
council committee on living eosta.
Simultaneously Russell Poole, secre
tary of the city food bureau, suggest
ed that all down town workers carry
their own lunches until prices come
down, and announced that milk will
be delivered to the city hall and sold
direct to employees at ten cents a
pint.
Need Os Export Trade For The U. S.
Maplewood. N. H.- The need for ex
port trade in the cotton industry of
this country is urged by the National
Association of Cotton Manufacturers.
Daniel E. Douty of New York asserts
that America "should distribute cot
ton goods to the world in place of raw
cotton," aud adds that "the time has
passed when the cotton manufactur
er can hear with indifference the ap
peal of the Southern planter for a fair
price.” A tariff wall will “protect our
domestic markets, but will not secure
foreign trade.”
MAYOR SAID TOBE SHAMMING
The London News Says McSwiney Is
Perfectly Well, But Sulky And Balks
At The Questions He Is Asked
London. The most sensational
charges, amounting practically to the
bald statement that Lord Mayor Mc-
Swiney of Cork is shamming in his
hunger strike in Liroxton Jail were
made by the Evening News, which
claims to have its information “from
a trustworthy source.”
In absolute contradiction of the Sinn
Fein bulletins, which picture the lord
mayor as dying by inches, as very weak
and as fast approaching the final col
lapse, The News declares that the
prisoner is perfectly well, but sulky
und "not inclined to answer ques
tions.”
The paper adds: "And he sleeps
most of the night, from 10:30 onward,
his temperature is 07, pulse 48, and
varies from weak to regular. In the
afternoons he is able to sit up in bed
and lie washed. He seems to have suf
ficient strength to assist in the process
lie is able to talk a good deal and
reads newspapers with interest.”
Os course this is vigorously denied
by the lord mayor's friends. Seamus
O’Brien, for instance, is iLdignant at
the report, and says that nothing ha.»
passed MacSwiney’s lips but water
and medicine designed to counteract
the gastric juices, and the sacred wa
ter used in communion, Wuicb he re
ceives every morning
The question whether MacSwiney is
being fed is answered by the home
office with “if he is we do not know
it.” In this connection it is pointed
out that it would be almost impossi
ble for any one to administer nourish
ment without the attending physicians
becoming aware of it, and the govern
ment officials argue if the doctors
ascertained that the lord, mayor was
getting any food whatever, the entire
efefcts of his earlier starvation would
bo nullified.

Phoenix, Arfz. —Governor Cox’s pres
idential campaign train was wrecked
miles north of here, while en route tc
Prescott, Ariz. The governor and his
party were severely shaken when an
engine and four cars of the special
train were ditched, hut all escaped se
rious injury. The most seriously hurt
was Charles A. Nicholls, engineer of
Prescott, who had a leg broken in
jumping from his cab when his engine
toppled over.
Spreading rails were assigned by rail
road men as the cause of the wreck,
which compelled the governor and par
ty to return here and cancel his even
ing address at Prescott. His future
itinerary also was upset.
The accident occurred a half mile
out of Peoria, a village on the Santq
Fe railroad.
The four forward cars were ditched,
the governor’s private car at the rear
and the adjoining compartment car of
newspaper men, except for its forward
truck, remained on the rails.
A baggage coach jumped the track
about fifteen feet and turned over on
its side. Two passenger coaches and
another compartment car behind also
slipped ten feet from the track and
partly toppled over.
The first engine of the double-head
er, Engineer F. C. Sutton of Prescott,
said, left the rails first It remained
upright, but the second engine top
pled over amid a cloud of escaping
steam.
All the passengers on all cars were
thrown topsy-turvy. Some suffered
bruises and cuts from flying glass.
Governor Cox was in the dining
room of his private car when the
crash occurred. He was shaken up,
but rushed out to assist the injured
and this accomplished, cooly smoked, a
pipe while waiting for a wrecking train
to arrive and take them back to
Phoenix.
Railroad officials were unanimous
in declaring that a spreading rail un
der the two heavy locomotives and un
usually heavy steel equipment causetj
the wreck.
CHARLES E. HUGHES
CONDEMNS OUSTING
OF N. Y. SOCIALISTS
Movement Is Called “Act Os Incred
ible Folly” By Head of Bar
Association Committee
New York. —While Socialist leaders
were conferring here on the next step
to obtain representation of the party
in the New York assembly, Charles E.
Hughes, head of the Bar Association
committee, which opposed the ouster
of the Socialist delegation last win
ter, issued a statement condemning
the second unseating.
“The ouster of the Socialist mem
bers of the assembly is an act of in
credible folly and in flagrant disre
gard of the fundamental pi-inciples of
American institutions,” said Mr.
Hughes.
"I am absolutely opposed to Social
ism, and it is because I wish to see
our institutions pi’eservdd that 1 think
this action, which is of the essence of
Sovietism, should be denounced.
"The one consoling feature of the
matter is that we may be assured that
this ouster does not reflect the senti
ment of the people Os the state, but is
merely the action of a few exercising
a temporary power which has been
sadly abused.”

idences are reported to have been
burned to the ground. The sacking
cf the town was carried out by some
fifty auxiliary police, known as “black
and tans,” from their uniforms.

house and killed, as was a dairy farm
er named Gibbons. The latter, at
least, was both bayonetted and shot.

ALABAMA MINERS
FACE BAYONETS
STATE TROOPS REFUSE TO AL
LOW MINERS TO HOLD
MEETINGS
MEETINGS ARE_CALLED OFF
General Steiner Says Meetings Were
Barnfed Because Speeches Would
Have Inflamed Hearers
Birmingham, Ala. —State military
forces, under command of Gen. R. E.
Steiner, prevented the holding of num
erous mass meetings scheduled over
the coal mining districts of the state
by leaders of the striking miners. At
some places the soldiers were armed
with machine guns.
Attempts were made to hold the
meetings as scheduled, but the troops
were on the scene and the union offi
cials were advised that the meetings
would not be allowed. Thereupon the
speakers gave way and the crowds left
the scenes. There was no disorder.
Meetings announced included points
In Walker county. Bradford, Republic,
Wylam, Mulga, Blccton and Docena.
Some of the meetings had been adver
tised in the newspapers and some
were called locally by distribution of
band bills.
At the smaller meetings ten to a
dozen soldiers appeared, oth
ers detachments of as many as seventy-*
five men with machine guns were on
hand. At each place the officer in.
command approached the union leaders
and informed them that the meetings
would not be permitted.
Commenting on the events. General
Steiner said: “We issued orders on our
arrival in the strike zone that there
would be no mass meetings. This
was thoroughly understood by the
strike leaders, because we told them
so. We were, therefore, surprised,
more or less, when we got wind of
the date set for the meetings. We
took steps accordingly. No mass meet
ings were held, and none will be held
in the territory under our jurisdiction.
This includes the entire mining towns
and fields immediately adjacent to
them.
“The reason why we will not permit
the mass meetings is because they are
addressed by men whose speeches tend
so inflame the minds of their hearers,
and that, in turn, tends to lead to a
breach of the peace. We are here,
primarily, to prevent any breach of the
peace, and we shall stop that which
aims in that direction.

has broken out in North Belfast. The
first reports from the hospital are that
five gunshot cases and many other
