HARDsHtPs OF WORKING
 GiRLs-AND WOMEN IN CITIES

New York, Oct. 17.-Marriage is sought merely as a "way out of their drag existence by working girls and women of the cities, Dr. Kristine Mann Of New York told the. International Conference Of Women Physicians at II Us flrst general session here today.
 Ihe majority of working girls and women lead drab existences" pr. Mann said in her address, and learn to look forward to marriage as a means to escape the narrowness of their lives and to forget their econ- omic difficulties Ninety-two per cent. of girl and women workers are dis satisfied with their work and are maj : adjusted to it..
 The lack Of margin of time and en : ergy after working hours-which are too long for them-for healthful recre- ation has prevented many girls from getting ahead They lack energy to go to night schools or gymna siums S, and fall into the habit of seeking pleasure at the movies or in un- neaithy sex excitemnt. '
 Of 125 departne ent store girls I found ten per cent. only, who had time or energy after work to attend dane es.+ Only two girls had found time to go to a gymnasium. Ninety per cent. of the departmeht store girls wear high heeled shoes which are known to be detrimental to their hea1th.'
 Ninety-two per cent. Of city women and girls are sub-nprInal in health, having bad pastures to begin with, due to the habit fof negiecting to consider thei: physical and mental condition unless so sick they actually are un- able to' continue working, Dr. Mann said.
 The -niechanieal nature of their work. to which ahey are by nature united. is responsible for the majori- tx or i'll health and immortality in the tsties.' she continued. Girls and wo- men have come to believe that pale weak women are most appealing to men because Of the Dlty they arouse in them, and because if the power it gives weak women to control men through mans instinct sto care for. Them when they are dependent upon him. : Decla ring that girls and women must be made to live fnoreS wholesome lives Dr. Mann appealed for their ed ucation on the need of preserving their health, for the furtherance of sex knowledge, estabIshm of health and recreation centcrs and building of sufficient public gymnasia. baths an swimming pools

NO CAUSE TO INCREASE
 PIECE OF SOFT COAL

., Indianapolis, Ind. Oct. 17-Tha t there is no cause for reported moves ment to increa SC. the price Of biturai- ! nous coal is the assertion made in d ; sta teIlent issued from the int erna- i tional hcadGnerteEs Of the United Mine Worksrs of America eilerc late today.
 @sinee tie call for q ..s-.~;l.e Of bitu- sActing Presitss sas John l.. Lewis Of the United aIia1e- V orSers-<sG k1t1erfca, to become effective On November i. press reports show that tlie.,e Is sI move ment ol1s foot throughout the country to ifacrea se.s the price of coal to con sunnelrs. :, the sta tenlent ieads. Tt has come to- our notice that in many places announ cement is made that the price of coal will be advanced one dollar a ton this week. It will be well for the public to bear in mind the fact that the strike does not take place until the first of November and that tilestri..e order directs all soft coal miners to ren1Iin at work until that date. There will be no suspension of operation in soft coal mines before November I. Therefore. we wish the public to know that there is-no reason why the price Of coal should be in creased at. this time Any such in crease can only be. viewed as plain everyday p.otiteering on the part of those who raise>tt1e price and that it's only purpose can be to put greater
 
 from the advance. Such prof1teering if carried into effect. will be wholly indefensible and the public should bear this fact. in mind
 "Bituminous coal operators, who were well content with a profit of not more than ten cents per ton in pre- war ines. are now and have been, for the past two or three years, making a profit ranging as high as one dollar per ton. The public should hold that in view of: this fact there is no justif- ca ton for further increase in the price of coal. Surely the operators cannot charge that the miners are re- sponsible for the proposed increase, because the operators have refused to increase the wa ges of the miners"
 Loca; coal dealers declare that, since the strike order was issued. the price of coal has been increased at the mines from 25 to 50 cents a ton and say it is likely will go even high er One local. operator said the price now was no object. and that retail dealers and concerns were offering higher prices in order to get coal.

There is no drunkenness or thievery in Turkey" said the new hero of the Moslems to the correspondent. That is more than many civilized nations are able to claim
 In support of his comparisons Mus tapha Renal told stories relating how sleeping officers were robbed of their clothes on trains in the vicinity of Tifiis and compared this with the ex- periences Of the mission of Major Gen eral Harbord in Turkey. the members of which had not lost a single article after 1900 miles of travel through the wildS of Turkey.

New York. Oct. IA suggestion that Great Britain share the control of Gibraltar with the United States was made by Henry Morgenthau day on his return from a seven months trip abroad primarily as chairman or a committee appointed by Ptesldent Wilson to investigate pogroms ln Po- land.
 Referring to his previous advocacy of the acceptance by the United States of a mandate for Constantinople, Ar menia and Anatolia. MT. 'MorSenthau said:
 "Our people will expect Great Brit ain to welcome us in the Mediterra- mean and the Near East. not as IT val or competitor. but as full part ner with all rights. privileges and re- sponsibilities. I have thought deeply as to how Great Britain can demon strate her willingness and thlnk the hest way would be by her giving us an equal control of the Straits or Gi- bra1tar."

be afeeless to reeonvenes tf2e- jUfnf fn- terstate wage conference unless the operators changed their stone wall at titude. and indica ted a willingness to frame another agreement
 Thomas Brewster. chairman of the coal operators of the central competi- tive coal fields. which embrac,1 the states Of Illinois. Indiana. Ohio and Western Pennsylvania. after sitting through the day at a table with Sec retary Wilson and Mr. Lewis. hurried away from the secretary's office and refused to talk. An hour or two later he sent word to MT. Wilson that his scale committee would be on hand for the joint conference.
 At the outset Secretary Wilson. sit ting between Lewis and Brewster, urged, them to resume negotiations and reconvene the joint wage con ference, pointing out that he. was making this effort by direction of the presidents cabinet. Lewis indicated the grounds on which the miners would negotiate. and after recess Brewster returned with a written statement outlining the conditions the same. These were:
 Indication of a willingness on the part of the miners to carry out the ex- isting contract. which Former Fuel Administrator Garfield "attests is still in effect";
 Rescinding of the strike order and continuation of work pending negotia- tionS; and
 Understanding that the negotiation does not contemplate any reduction in the hours of labor below the present standard of eight hours day. six days week.
 On the heels of this. Brewster g statement, addressed to Secretary Wilson, sharply attacked collective bargaining.
 'As pertinent to the questions in volved" he wrote. "the operators deem it advisa ble to say that the coal oper-- ators of the Central Competitive Field have adhered to the principles and pra ctices of collective bargaining for thirty three years with the largest body of organized labor in the United States and it is our opinion that our scale negotiations have broken down and that our contract has been abro- gated by the miners union in their call for a strike November 1. because the present system of coll ttive bar ga ming does not fx equal responsl- biiity under the jaw upon the em- blower and the labor union.
 "Our experience teaches us that no set Of employers should agree to a system of collective bargaining which does not make both parties to the con tract equally liable and responsible for the observance of the terms Of such contract"
