ANTITRUST BILLS
SAID To Be DRASTIC
Principal Features Of Admins
tratiOn Measures.

Washington, Jan. 12.-Three bills
will carry the administration anti
trust program this session, according
to authoritative announcements at the
Capitol.
Although drastic in some effects the
measures VIII provide one or two
years for meeting requirements in or
der that big business organizations
may not be upset.
1t was stated that the main fea
lures of the three bills would be:
Absolute dissolution of intermin
Cling directories.
Definition of disputed points in the
present Sherman law and provisions
making guilt personal in all cases.
Provisions against price fixing com
binations
1t was said that the interlocking di
rectorates bill would not only pro

TURNS DOWN FOREIGN TITLES
Said Mrs. Ava Willing Astor VII
Wed an American.

London, Jan. 12.-Reports of the
early marriage of Mrs. Ava Willing
Astor, circulated so freely last fall
are being heard again. This time
they have a definite basis, as friends
of the millionaire American widow
say they have letters from her in
which there are pointed references to
a new romance.
There has been keen speculation
here as to who has won the hand of
the former wife of John Jacob Astor.
When Mrs. Astor was in the United
States last year she was courted by
one nobleman after another, and
there were frequent rumors that she
had capitulated, first TO one and then
another.
Now ii is said, however, that 1t
will be an American who will lead
her to the altar. This is given added
probability by the frequent state
ments made by Mrs. Astor that If she
ever married again it would be to one
of her own countrymen.

scene of a street fight in which eight
cen shots were exchanged by rival
gangsters, ranged on opposite sides

in the fight and that some of them
rushed into a nearby dance hall when
the police reserves came up.
The police drew Gordon around the
hall and an armed squad entered to
search the men within. Previously
they had arrested Edward Morris ant

arrests were made in the hall.

department or LABOR investigators
Tell of Efforts to Settle Michigan
TroubIe-Profits of the Calumet and
HecIa Company Shown to Be Ex-
tremeiy Large.
Washington, Jan. 12.-That Upper
Michigan copper mining companies
rejected every settlement proposed
and that profits of the Calumet and
Hecla company, which employs more
than so per cent of the miners in the
strike district, are extremely large,
was asserted in a report on the strike
submitted to Secretary Wilson by
Walter b. Palmer, an investigator of
the department of labor.
Palmer reported that the general
| average of day wages paid by all the
companies throughout the year was
| $3.50. Some of the smaller compa-
nies, he declared, were operating at a
loss.
Prior to the present strike he found
| the general work day was of ten to
eleven hours and some of the miners
were paid as low as $235 a shift
| Some other classes of labor were paid
| as low as 81.
| A summary of the investigation
made public at the department oi
| labor, details the work of Palmer and
| also that of John b. Densmore, so
licitor for the department, and Special
| Agent John A. Mottit, who were later
! sent as mediators.
Secretary Wilson declined to say
| what the next step in the depart
| ment's participation in the situation
| would be, although he intimated that
| the reports of the investigators might
| become the basis of proposed con
| gressional investigation.
Operators Reject Arbitration.
"In connection with the efforts ol
| the department at mediation the re
| ports of John A. Motfit and John b
| Densmore, who acted as commission
ers of conciliation at different times,
the report says, shows:
That suggestions were made tina
the managers of the companies NEE
| the representatives of the miners
with a view to effecting a mutual set
| tlement.
That the whole question in dispute
be submitted to arbitration.
That the questions be submitted Il
arbitration, and no member OF thu
Western Federation of Miners be Sc
lected upon the board.
That the companies agree to rein
state all of the workmen without dis
elimination relative to their beini
members or nonmembers of union
| That the companies post notice
that they will re-employ all the strlF
ers without discrimination relative t
their being members or nonmember
of a union.
| Each of these propositions as mad
was accepted by the representative
of the miners as a basis of settlement
but were rejected by the represents
tives of the companies on the groun
that they would not deal with tn
Western Federation of Miners or hav
any of its members in their employ

injuries.
The trouble arose in a dispute about
the death of a Basuto, which was said
to have resulted from the kick Of a
white overseer.
Capetown, Union of South Africa,
Jan. l2-Drastic measures have been
taken by the government of the Union
of South Africa to prevent serious
trouble arising out of the strike OF
railway men in the Transyaal and
Orange State provinces.
The entire defense forces of South
Africa, including the regulars and the
citizens reserve, are being modified
for the protection of property which
the government believes to be threat
ened.
The strikers have tied up railroad
traffic in the Transvaal and the Or
ange State, but have not yet succeed
ed in interfering with transportation
in Cape Colony and Natal.
The authorities in mobilizing the
forces are looking toward a much
greater danger than that of the strike.
They fear a possible uprising of the
thousands of native laborers in the
mines, some of whom have already
shown signs of uneasiness.
