There IS a persistent rumor that at their

10 per cent basis. This rumor, while lack

tically been let down by the tribunal

know what may happen.
Your correspondent saw a famous

connections in the United States and
knows the country almost as well as he
knows England

am not in favor of them. For one
thing, the authorities have too much
regard for London's supply of light
and air to indiscriminately allow very
tall buildings, and also Londoners have
an objection to living and working
high up, which they will hardly over
come for many years. We must also
reckon with 'ancient lights This is
one Of the very oldest Of English priv
ileges. If you build a house or struc-
ture with a vacant lot on the side or
sides and put windows in the sides of
the house, you can, after seven years,
claim the privilege of 'ancient lights, )
provided that within that time no
house has been erected alongside your
house, thus shutting off to some extent
the light from your windows. The
sign of Ancient Light is frequently
seen on houses in London and other
English cities. Some owners of va
cant lots erect high single board on
their lot near the side windows of the
house, and then ancient light cannot
be claimed.
"As regards the Piccadilly hotel.
the police authorities appealed against
The Minneapolis journal. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1888-1939, 1906-12-09

the power granted by the London coun-
ty council to the hotel to build high.
The police claimed that the great
height would interfere with the light
and air of the Vine street police sta
ton. The case was taken before the
tribunal Of appeal and won by the
hotel. The Tribunal Of appeal is the
most valuable institution which archi-
tects and builders possess. The trib-
unal was given powers under the Lon
don building act of 1894 to act as a
judicial court in cases of arbitration
arising out Of the various conflicting
interests with which the building laws
of London are fraught. It is composed
Of two membe chosen from the Sur
veyors' institution and two from the
Institution of British Architects.
"The present law regarding height
Of buildings allows only 80 feet, unless
special license is obtained from the
London county council. Churches and
theaters do not come under this regu-
lation. In 1900 the limit was 80 feet,
SO the tendency of the last two years
seems to be to reduce the height. But
the bylaws Of the county council are
much muddled and architects are put to
great trouble even in the building of a
fireplace or staircase.
In Liverpool and Bristol there are
a few skyscrapers. We may get them

Dinners for the President and Mrs. Roosevelt-Mrs
Lodges Tiger Creates Sensation
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Washington, Dec. 9.-Saturday even
ing Vicepresident and Mrs. Fairbanks
will give the usual annual dinner to
the president and Mrs. Roosevelt. There
will be perhaps dozen other guests.
These dinners are purely formal affairs,
and come every winter. The vicepresi-
dent dimes the president, and then the
president. dimes the vicepresident. Later,
the president dimes the cabinet, and
then, scattered thru the season, each
cabinet member dimes the president.
The diplomatic corps is taken care of
at an annual dinner given by the presi-
dent, which is the big dinner Of the
year. The supreme court is also dined
en- masse at the White House. Smaller
diplomatic dinners are given by the
secretary Of state each winter, who
divides the diplomats in small groups
OF three or four each for dinner pur-
poses, and so extends his entertaining
over the most of the season.
The Fairbanks family has been enter
tanning on lavish scale ever since they
came to Washington. Even while MI.
Fairbanks was senator from Indiana
his Washington home was the center of
many agreeable social events. Since
becoming vicepresident he has neces-
sarily widened his social horizon some
what, and the result is that no official
home in Washington excepting the
White House opens it's doors thru the
social season to more distinguished
guests or a larger number of them.
The public may care to know that
the president and Mrs. Roosevelt pass
upon the guest list Of every dinner
which they attend. The vicepresident

dent has the right to choose his social

CALLS FOR COMPROMISE

The Chicago Tribune does not believe n;
tional coal strike is inevitable and in the name G
the public depands that mineowners and mine
workers settle their differences by a compromise
The existing contracts between the btu
minous mine operators and their employees
do not epire until April !. They have two
months yet in which to settle their differences
IN respect to the wage scale for the ensuing
year. 1t is hard to believe that enough in
tellgent selfinterest and regard for the
rights of the public will not, during this time,
assert itself on both sides to avert a strike.
Each side, 1t is true, says ii thinks a breach
Is Inevitable, but it may be each Is trying to
bluff the other into offering more favorable
terms. Miners and operators have succeeded
in the past in adjusting differences which,
While negotiations were pending they had
agreed in calling "rreconcilable" and there
does not appear to be any adequate reason
why they should not do so now. 1t is not
probable that either side would gain anything
by strike. The chances are that each would
lose heavily regardless of who was finally
victorious. The miners have voted to raise
their strike fund to $13,00O,0O0. This gives
some idea of how much they expect the
struggle to cost them il it comes Large as
the proposed fund will be, in case of long
contest It Will be exhausted and many thou
sands OF miners and their families will be re-
duced to want and wretchedness The cost
70 the operators will be proportionately great
The suspension of their business and the &C.
companying deterioration and destruction of
their property will lose them profits which
Will take them years to recover and which
they never will recover unless they do it at
the expense of the long suffering consumer
Whatever the results of the strike to the
contestants the public would be sure to suffer
keenly from 1t. 1t would have the direct eff
feet OF reducing the supply and raising the
price OF coal. This would increase the cost of
running factories, and If the scarcity of coal
became great many of them would have to
shut down. Thus thousands of people would
be thrown out of employment and blow
would be dealt to the countrys industries
which would seriously imperil and might over
throw existing prosperous conditions The
operators and miners should agree upon a
compromise and it is not too late to hope
that each side will make the concessions nee
essary TO bring about this result. For them
to fall to come to an understanding would be
a gross exhibition of stubborn folly and
crime against the national we'll being
