Der of House of Commons
Demands Quick Action

LONDON. March GA final EFFORT
will be made to end the coal strike on

declare the strike on IL they do so,
promises have been made that should
the local committees created under
the present law fail TO fix proper
minimum the present law will be
amended.
A hastily called meeting of the Min
ers federation was arranged az noon,
and j. X. Macdonald, reader OF the
Conservative Laborites in the house
OF commons. went before 1t and de-
manded that the miners accept the
pending minimum wage bill
He pointed out TO them that !. the
local wage committees created under
the measure failed TO incorporate the
minimum wage scale already suggest
ed and which Premier Asquith has
characterized as reasonable, then the
miners could come 10 the commons
and with justice demand that the
figure be fixed By an amendment to
the law. He pointed out that nearly
every industry was facing starvation
and begged that the new law be given
fair trial.
MacDonald's efforts were crowned
with partial victory when the fedora
ton decided to take a general refer
endum ballot OF its members TO SET

HOT WEATHER TO REIGN
Temperatures Above Normal
Expected to Grip City
This Week.

Temperatures above the normal for
this time of year will rule during the
present week, according to the fore
cast issued by the weather bureau to-
day. Hot weather Is to prevail over
the entire country east of the Rocky
mountains, with a few small areas
here and there in which the mercury
will not reach the general high aver
age. With this increased warmth will
come generally fair weather. nothing
more than local thunder showers be-
ing looked for until toward the end
Of the week
Below normal temperatures existing
on the Pacific slope will continue, a
well defined storm area developing in
the northwest and spreading eastward
the latter part of the week This
storm area, accompanied by lower
temperatures and rain, will probably
reach the Atlantic states next Friday
or saturday; or it may not get this far
at all.
Yesterdays beautiful weather drew
great crowds to the nearby country, hun
dreds taking trips on the Potomac river
aboard excursion steamers or small pleas
ure craft.
The various resorts about the city
reached by electric lines had a busy day.
The Zoo and Rock Creek Park drew big
crowds of city jewellers anxious for an
afternoon away from the paved streets
and the brick walls Of downtown, while
the parks and reservations closer to the
heart of the city were filled all day, and
throngs of strollers, singly, in couples or
parties. gave the avenues and streets a
distinctly summary appearance until late
last night.

CLUB SEEKS NEW QUARTERS.
Capital Yacht Men Would Move

The Capital Yacht Club. the elder Of

stated. to obtain permission to locate
over the water on the south side Of
Potomac Park, near the north end of
the Highway bridge. The congested
condition of anchorage space in the
harbor is another reason why the club
members are anxious to obtain a new
location for the club headquarters. It
is thought probable the club will re-
ceive permission to make the change
of location.
The clubhouse Of the Corinthian

DREDGING FAST PROGRESSING
The Dewey Working Swiftly in
Anacostia River

The dredge Dewey. which is employed
in dredging the channels of the Eastern
branch from the main channel of the
river to the navy yard, is progressing
quite rapidly with the work. but it will
be several months before she completes
the taking out of the 10000 cubic yards
OF the material her owners have con-
tracted to remove and pump ashore The
dredge is now taking about 5000 cubic
yards of material from the channels daily
and since commencing work early in the
spring has taken out more than half of
the material to be removed.
The Dewey Is what is known as a
blower dredge. The material her cut
ter digs from the bottom of the channels
Is pumped up and blown ashore to raise
the Anacostia flats above the level OF
the highest tides, so that when the work
Is completed large area will have been
reclaimed.
In the year 1911 the big dredge Pitts
burgh dug and pumped ashore in the
Eastern branch more than 100000 cubic
yards of material, SO that when the
Dewey has completed her contract nearly
100000 cubic yards of mud> will have
been taken from the channel and a wide
and deep waterway will have been made
to the navy yard. Sanford & Brooks of
Baltimore are the contractors for the
work now in progress on the Eastern
branch.

MONEY THROWN AWAY.
Representative Moore Writes O,
High Cost of Living.

An article by Representative ]. Hamp-
ton Moore of Pennsylvania on the widely
interesting topic Of the cost of living ap-
pears in our next Sunday Magazine.
Money Thrown Away" he calls his ar
ticle, and it is surprising to many that
instead Of blaming the trusts and the
tariff for the rise in prices Of mostly
everything. he puts 1t right up to every
body. Nowadays We think that things
that were formerly luxuries are necessi-
ties; and. carrying this down the line of
human expenditure. we find that 1t is
these lIxuries that have raised the rest of
all products, including even the real ne
cessit.es.
Because we insist upon having straw
berries in January, instead of waiting till
May and June, as in the old days. and a
lot Of things that we can get only be-
cause expensive cold-storage warehouses
have been established, the man who sells
ordinary staple meats, groceries. ETC.. Is
taking advantage of our extravaganza.
Why should he not have some of the
money that is being so thoughtlessly toss
ed about?
