Recommends That the Federal

Washington March S-Recommendation
that the federal trade commission study
the economic side of coal mining with
view to steps toward preventing waste
and putting the industry on basis Civ
ing maximum safety and maximum
steady employment, is made in the report
of President Wilson's special Colorado
coal strike comittee. The report was sent
to Congress by the President today for
it's information. Seth Low of New York.
Charles w Mills of Philadelphia, and
Patrick Gilday of Cleartield, Pa, COM
posed the commission.
The commission says the fact that all
of the 400 indictments returned in Colora-
do in connection with strike troubles were
again strikers has left fostering sore
on public opinion.
Some of the citizens of Colorado" the
report comments. believe that many il
legal acts were committed on the part of
the operators and the justice which finds
all the indictments on one sire does not
seem to them even-handed.
SIN such cases. and your commission
believes that there are such. the men af-
fected are suffering from great injustice
in that they are either confined in iails,
they are refused employment in Colorado
on account of the indictments against
them and are prevented from leaving Col

their bondsmen."

The commission says the most serious
drawback to the prospect of the coal IN

The plan referred to is one proposed
by John u. Rockefeller, IT., after his

 Hartford

Hartford, Nov. 2O.-Between fifty and sixty stage hands working in local theaters went on strike today, demanding higher wages and a re- arrangement of hours.

The vote to strike was passed by the union Sun day.
 Four theaters, putting on "1egiti- mate" plays and vaudeville, are par ticularly affected by the strike. Up to noon today the management did not know what it would be able to do about afternoon and night perform anoes. At Parsons where a we'll known actress and her company were advertised to play tonight, the bag gage was piled up a huge heap on the stage and had not been touched up to early afternoon.
 A meeting of managers was sched- uled for this afternoon.
 The men seek a regular weekly
 salary whether they work or not, and want an agreement concerning hourly 1 pay when they do work.

The fire was ex- tinguished without serious damage, Wybrace said, and the two vessels put in at Havre to discharge part of the cargo. It was not until they reached Chefbourg that the sugar was un- loaded.

 Exposed to Wind.
 She had little to say about her flight except that she had to fly much lower than she wanted to on account of the haze. It was the cause of re- mark among those who examined her machine here that it's structure was such as to expose her to the air more than is the case in most modern air ships The pilots section is placed on a projection in front of the machine, so that the pilot gets the full force of the wind.
 The machine used by Victor Carl strom, previous holder of the Amer ican nonstop record established in a flight November 2 from Chicago to New York, was of the fusilage type in the cockpit of which he was pro- tected from the winds. Tn the pres- ent flight Miss Law bettered Carl strom's record by about one hundred miles, making the 590 miles in an airline from Chicago to Hornell, N.
