MINERS READY TO QUIT WORK
Hard Coal Operators Expect
Strike To Be Called.
GBy Telegraph to The Tribune.

Wilkes Barre. Penn, Feb. 25.-A number
of general managers and other high officials
of anthracite coal companies will leave to-
morrow for New York to attend the confer
enee on Tuesday between the operating
committee and the leaders of the mine
workers Most of these officials believe
there will be strike, because they ex-
pressed themselves as convinced that the
operators committee will grant no conces-
sions, and that the mine workers leaders,
in a desperate effort to win something. will
order a strike. They say there Is nothing
in the condition at the mines to warrant
any such radical changes In the working
conditions as the miners demand, and that
the price OF coal. not having advanced in
the last nine years, there is no reason why
there should be any advance In wages. They
all give the impression that the operators
are well prepared for a strike. one Of them
in ridiculng the report Of the mine work
ers' leaders that the coal companies had not
more than a million tons Of coal stored. de.
clared that he knew OF one company which
has that amount in storage yards, and that
other companies are also well prepared.
The operators expect suspension Of work
for some weeks after April 1 and then a
formal order TO strike.
There are 10000 miners In the anthracite
region, who, II Is expected viii obey the
call TO quit work, II the call should come.

PLEADS IMMUNITY IN VAIN
American Consul May Be Tried
in France, but Not Arrested.

Paris. Feb 25.-The Court of Cassa-
ton has handed down an important de-
cislon bearing on the immunity Of con-
sular officers. Recently the Appeal
Court decided that charges made In 1909
against Christopher J. King, the Ameri-
can consular agent at Lille, in connec-
ton with the sale of shares in Mexl-
can mine. must be abandoned Prior to
this Mr.. King had been summoned be-
fore the Correctional Court, on which
occasion Mr. King asserted that his ac-
tivities had been strictly confined TO the
range of his official duties. In defence
he invoked the Franco American agree
ment of 1853 granting immunity from
arrest and trial to diplomatic and con-
sular officers. His plea was accepted,
and the Appeal Court, 10 which the case
was taken, held that, as American con
sular agent, Mr.. King could neither bs
arrested nor tried by the Correctional
Court.
The prosecution carried the case to
the Court of Cessation, which reversos
the previous decision and rules that a
diplomatic or consular capacity pre-
cluded arrest, but not trial. In the event
OF condemnation. therefore, IL would be
for the government TO take UP the mat
ter with the government Of the United
States.

MAY PREVENT MUCH BLINDNESS

The committee on prevention of blindness
Of the New York Association for the Blind,
in report made. public yesterday declares
that IL proper care had been exercised at
the time of birth 52l children in institutions
throughout the country need not have be-
ccme blind. The report goes on TO say that
unqualified physicians and mdwives are
responsible for this unnecessary blindness.
The committee, in order to remedy this
evil, is endeavoring TO cooperate with the
state and city departments of health TO
bring about the enforcement Of the law
requiring that cases of babies with sore
eyes shall be at once reported. as these
cases often develop into blindness.
The committee estimates that one-half OF
the total number Of Industrial accidents to
the eyes might be prevented by the use OF
protective devices. The trades involving
the greatest number OF accidents were
found to be those requiring the grinding
and chipping OF metal. wood or stone. and
the pouring of molten metal. The United

the installation OF safety devices.

The Rev. John Haynes Holmes
Declares Sex Relations Are

The Rev John Haynes Holmes, minister
of the Unitarian Church of the Messiah, in
East 34th street, preaching the seventh Oh
his series of sermons on "The Ten COM
mandments in the Twentieth Century" yes
terdav morning, expressed his approval OF
divorce when applied for after marriages
have proved loveless, and of the reguia-
ton of matrimonial! contracts by the state.
He asserted il was only question OF a
few years before a marriage license would
certify TO the fitness of the parties TO The
marriage as fully as the certificate shown
By lawyer or a doctor testihes to the
preparation he has made before entering
his profession.
Experience has taught us once and Tor
ALL" said Mr.. Holmes 'tnat the individual
istic marriage must be regulated by social
control. That means society must prevent
the marriage Of the unfit, the insane and
the criminal and those suffering from loath-
some diseases caused by vice. Just as we
exercise police control cf yellow fever, so
we will some day exercise it over the mar
rlage relation. And we Will also supervise
the marriage Of the ft. We will see to 1t
that there Is an interval Of time before
the consummation Of the marriage sufficient
to ascertain whether or not there is lasting
love between the man and the woman.
'1 believe the time will come, and IN my
own day, when a marriage license placed
in my hand assures me that the parties

prepared for that state as | know a man

1--WE must realize that when love is de-
stroyed in the heart of the wife or Of the
husband continuance of the bond should
be essential to marriage, then we must
also believe there should be no marriage
where love is absent.
Marriage must not exist because God
says so, but because it serves the best In
terests of society. That is why I can't
agree with the priests Of the church VINO
believe in the indissolubility OF marriage
and the spiritual inn ossibllity OF divorce
acknowledge that marriage and divorce
are based on the relations of the sexes. il
is outside OF the realm OF Teil ion and law
We are facing the greatest phenomenon
OF the world, the sex attraction. The
Bible is wrong when 1t says lone is bore
and flesh is flesh. That Is true OF the ami

into which certain moral and spiritual ele-
ments enter Love, the spiritu 4lization OF
the physical instinct OF sex attraction, is
at the basis Of marriage.
mo marriage can be moral unless II is
founded on love. In fact, 1t cannot exist
at all without that That is why we are
beginning to get disgusted with marriages
