ton, w. Va.

CHICAGO, Nov. Upwards of
$4,000 bituminous coal miners through
out the nation, of a total of 615,000
men employed in that industry, today
were on strike in response to the gen
eral strike call effective at midnight
last night according to reports, in some
instances estimated, received by union
leaders.
Despite the federal injunction issued
at indianapolis against the strike the
leaders who generally stated they
would disregard it, asserted that the
strike today would be extended to more
than 100000 miners. Exact strength
of the walk probably will not be
known until Monday, however, since in

NARROW ESCAPE AT
WHEEL CLUB SHOW
Heavy Drop Curtain Falls While j. H.
Estey is Doing Pantomine in
Closing Performance.

j. Harry Estey, one of the chief per-
formers in the Wheel Club Follies, mar
rowly escaped serious injury during the
closing performance of the show in the
Auditorium last evening. Just as he was
beginning his pantomime, which followed
the first part, the rope which supports
the drop curtain broke and the curtain
came down with a crash, grazing Mr.. Es-
tey's shoulder but not hurting him badly
The accident caused delay of between
five and ten minutes and throughout the
remainder of the performance one of the
other drops had to be used
The closing performance of the Follies
drew an audience fully as large as either
of the other two and seemed to give fully
as much satisfaction although there were
many more out of town people present
and the local jokes were not received as
enthusiastically. Instead of reporting a
disagreement the jury in the mock trial
acquitted the respondent on charge OF
playing golf on the Sabbath.

CAPETOWN WANTS
SOUTH AFRICAN

Lonon. March 17.-According to in
formation received here from Capetown
a demand has sprung up there for a
searching investigation into the man
ner in which the British campaign
was conducted in East and Central
Africa after General SmutS had re-
linuuished command to come to Eng
land. When he left it was belieyed
that the campaign had been virtually
concluded.

in the East African expeditionary
force. reviews the campaign in series
of articles in the Cape TIMES and
strongly advocates a commission Of in
