INDUSTRY FACES
TRYING TIMES is FEARED

LONDON. - Correspondence of
The Associated Press. )-Steadily in
creasing production costs, due to in
creased labor and higher prices for
raw materials, have developed the
fear in England that British export
trade is to suffer severe jolt, if not
serious injury. Comparisons are con-
stantly being made with foreign costs,
but it is noted that most men fear
American competition more than any
other.
Sir Auckland Geddes, discussing in
the House of Commons the effects of
increased coal prices, compared Brit
ish iron and steel prices with those
prevailing in the United States.
Steel rails in England, he said, cost
$85 a ton while in the United States
they were $780,. and steel plates for
$3.50, and in the United
States $40. Crown bars were $11O
ton as compared with the American
price of $3.50. The spread in pig
iron, he pointed out, was $40 a ton,
The British cost being $40 to the
American $50.

0RPHEUM THEATRE
BEING REM0DELED
POPULAR PLAY HOUSE MAKING
MANY IMPROVEMENTS In
ALL DEPARTMENTS

/ The Orpheum theatre, one of Mos
cows popular pleasure resorts, is be-
ling remOdeled and many substantial
| Improvements are being made which
will make it a greater favOrite than
ever with the theatre-going public. Mr..
and Mrs. Tucker have been devoting
much time and labor and money to the
changes in the interior and exterior
and when they get through with these
Moscow will have one of the most ''up
to date" picture houses in the west.
The front is being entirely remodel
ed. The entrance has been changed
and the box office placed in the cen
ter, instead of at one side, with an
Ientrance on one side and the exit on
the other side of the box office. This
will be a convenience and adds to the
beauty of the front A large glass
case on the side wall will contain pic
lures of motion picture stars and an
nouncements of features. The front
is being painted a clean, pure white
that adds to its beauty.
The interior has been repainted and
remodeled, the lighting system has
been greatly improved and the lights
now give soft glow a semi-moonlight
effect to the interior. The lighting
ana electr1c system mas Deen changed
and improved until it is one of the
most complete and modern imagina-
ble
A new picture machine, known as
the 'Motiograph De Luxe" one of the
finest now made, has been installed
and Clarence Ruth, the electrician
and operator, has remodeled the op-
orators room, making a vent in the
ceiling for the escape of the heat, and
has added large reels which carry
5000 feet of film. The films come in
100 feet reels, and he puts three of
shese on one of the new reels, so the
audience is not confronted with the
notice, "One Moment Please while
he operator changes the reel"
But not only is the building and
equipment being remodeled and great
y improved but Mr.. and Mrs. Tucker
nave recently signed up some of the
biggest feature pictures of the show
world for the fall and winter season
ind promise Moscow people some real
reats in the latest and best pictures

STRIKING MINERS
LEAVE COEUR D'ALENE
MARRIED MEN LEFT WITHOUT
WORK WHILE SINGLE MEN
LEAVE THE DISTRICT
lWallace Press-Timesl

AS a result of the strike called in
the Burke, Mullan and Nine Mile dis
tricts Wallace has had more than
500 men leave here for other places,
the vast bulk of them being unmar-
rfed and having no interests in the
community. This leaves only the
married men and those who have
business interests to bear the burden
of the strike. The men leaving here
are losing little time while those who
stay here and who have all their in
terests here are the chief sufferers
from the strike.
There is a strong report in circula-
ton that the 1. W. w. organization is
claiming the credit for the strike.
This is founded on the assertion that
the radicals brought it about and
that there has been no official sane
ton of the walkout. 1t is known
that some of the allied unions are
off the job without any authorization.
But in any event the l. w. w. ele-
ment is beginning to claim and in
some quarters to be given credit for
having caused the conservative men
to be out of work.
According to conservative estimates
more than 800 men have left Wallace
and vicinity. The bulk of these have
gone to Spokane while intermediate
points have caught some of them. 1t
is figured that only from 100 to 200
have headed east toward the Mon
tana mining districts, some few even
going Through to Butte.
AS usual there are rumors of all
kinds in circulation but few of them
appear to have much foundation or #
SO their authenticity is rather vague.
It is known that the conservative Gle !
nent is growing more restless and |
some feel that they have been made |
he victims of the situation, this be-
ng particularly true of the married /
men in numerous instances.

FOR RESERVATIONS
ON NATIONS LEAGUE
SENATOR PITTMAN PREPARING
FORM TO PREVENT CHANG
ING THE COVENANT.

In hopes of getting reservations
that will satisfy republican objectors
and yet not impair the force of the
league of nations, Senator Pittman,
of Nevada, has a plan that is to be
tried.
Pittman's Resolution.
WASHINGTON. - Four reserva
tions on the league of nations coven-
ant embodied in a separate resolution
prepared by Senator Pittman, demo-
crat, of Nevada, a member of the
foreign relations committee, for in
PRODUCTION in the senate.
The Pittman resolution is in line
with the suggestion to the committee
yesterday by President Wilson that if
the reservations are to be made they
should be embodied in separate
resolution and not in the resolution
of ratification which might make new
necessary.
The reservations deal with the right
of withdrawal from the league, article
10, domestic questions and the Monroe
doctrine.
Pass Bill over Veto.

daylight savings act was accomplish

DEAN F. 4. THOMSON
RETURNS FROM TRIP
HEAD OF SCHOOL OF MINES WIS.,
IT'S ALL SOUTH IDAHO MIN
ING DISTRICTS

Dean F. A. Thomson, head of the
school of mines at the University OF
Idaho returned Tuesday night from
a six weeks tour of the mining dis
tricts of southern Idaho. He visited
every mining camp of the past, pres
ent and future in the southern and
southeastern parts of the state, in
cluding HALEY, Silver City, Atlanta
and a score of others and made a min
ute and careful inspection and study
of the mines, the prospects, the cOun-
try and conditions generally as they
apply to mining. 1t was one of the
most thorough tours of inspection and
investigation undertaken by head of
a department in the university and
Professor Thomson learned much
about the mining wealth of this state.
He says that some of the old camps
are resuming work. This is notable
of those two wonderful producers of
by-gone days, the Trade Dollar and
Delamar mines. The Silver City dis
trict, at one time one of the richest
in the state, is to resume and hopes
are entertained by property owners
there that it will again produce
wealth.
Frank H. Skeels, a former student
of Dean Thomson when the latter was
head of the school of mines at Wash
ington State College. accompanied him
on part Of the trip. Mr.. Skeels is
connected with the school of mines and
is doing an important work. He has
charge of the mining trade school
which takes the students of the school
of mines and puts them to work in
workings, where they getl
a lot of practical education and train.

what real mining is. Mr.. Skeels had

CONGRESS OPPOSES
DAYLIGHT SAVING
MANY REASONS, SOME VERY
SILLY, OFFERED OPPOSING
DAYLIGHT LAW

Observation-Disclosures for re-
peal of the Daylight Saving law first
came from farmers but recently has
been buttressed by labor unions,
mothers clubs, rural school authori-
ties and many other interests. Urban
opinion also has become divided and
officials Of many cities and smaller
towns have come out against the law.
Congress has been flooded with petit
tions for repeal of the law, in collis-
ion with a counter-flood urging re-
tention of the statute.
Loss of time in farm labor is the
principal objection raised to the law
This complaint comes principally from
farmers employing hired hands and,
opponents of the law declare, all
farmers, at some time during the
summer season, are employers of la
Dor and suffer from the law.
The complaint of loss of labor is
based principally on the shortening of
the working day on the farm by the
advancing of the clock one hour from
March to October. The farmers COM
plants declare they cannot adjust
farm work to the advanced time be-
cause. with the clock advanced an
hour, farm work cannot be begun as
early in the morning as under the
normal time schedule and must close
an hour earlier. This is because the
dew on the ground in the early morn
ing prevents plowing and other farm
labor under the advanced time sched
ule.
Farm hands-hired men, etc.,-it is
+ax-
m. clock time, or at most o'clock.
Advancing the clock an hour, there
fore, it is declared causes a loss of
an hours working time at the end of
the day, when the ground is in good
condition for work but with farm la
Dor refusing to work after 6 or
o'clock, clock time.
Individual farmers, as we'll as those
help, also declare they suf-
fer from great confusion from the adj
vanced time. Various farm activities,
it is said, must coordinate with the
clock time in adjacent towns and
cities. Farmers, it is explained must
deliver produce to trains, frequently |
early in the morning. If the farmers |
work by sun time, in order to meet |
ground conditions, milking of cows, |
ETC., it is said they suffer hardship
IN rising and working an hour earlier
n order to load wagons of produce to
meet trains. They also declare cows,
chickens and other farm animals can
lot adjust themselves to the new clock
line but require attention according
% natural custom and sun-time hours.
'The rooster crows regardless of
he daylight saving law" one farmer j;
in a petition to Congress.
Mothers objections to the daylight
aw are based upon confusion of con-
Iitions in the home, and, fundamental ;
Y, loss of sleep by children. They de-
lare children are wakened an hour t
arlier than usual under the law and ;
ose another hours sleep at night, be- l
ause of refusal or inability to sleep t

New York. Jan. 2S.-Trading in

by United States Steel, whose direc-
tors were to meet after the market
close TO approve the financial state
ment for the last quarter of 1918 and
act on the common dividends.
During the first half of the ses-
sion United States Steel rose and fell
within circumscribed limits, but mod
crate buying of that stock, as we'll as
kindred issues and rails impaired a
strong tone later, although steel for
feited the best part of its large frac-
tional gain at the end.
In keeping with general eXpecta-
tons, the extra" dividend of steel
was reduced from to l per cent
thus placing the stock nominally on
a nine per cent basis. The quarterly
statement, disclosing a surplus of
barely $4,000, coo, is of itself eXplana-
ton for the cut in the dividend.
Other features of the stock mar
l5et embraced the belated inquiry for
