100. 200 Welsh Miners Idle

One hundred thousand miners are
idle in the South Wales coal fields as
a result Of the railroad strike. Many
collieries are closing down, and the
Swansea harbor trade is at a stand :
still.
Railroads running out of London will
attempt to operate trains on skeleton
schedules today, according to announce
ment. It is hoped thus to cope with
the strike situation which brought about
an almost total suspension of traffic yes
terday in this city and which has virtu =
ally stopped traffic on all English roads.
Ninety per cent of the railway work
ers in Scotland are idle, but few
trains were run there Sunday for the
carrying Of passengers and perishable
goods. Reports state these trains were
operated by union men who were de-
sirous of getting to their homes and
that these men have nearly all Joined
those who obeyed the Il st call from the
national union of railway men.
Irish roads are not as yet involved
in the strike, but the men there have
been instructed by union headquarters
to hold themselves in readiness to walk
out at any moment.
London Economizing on Food
London is being fed by means OF
fleets of motor lorries, which bring milk

MINING CRISIS IS
 THREATENING MEXICO

MEXICO CITY, March 28.-Fear1ng that the mining crisis now threaten ing Mexico will result in the closing of mines in various parts of the coun- try, and idleness for thousands or miners, representatives of this trade will meet soon In Mexico City to con- sider remedies for presentation to the government. The great decrease since the ending of the war of the prices obtained for metals mined in Mexico has, it is claimed, made it impossible for many companies in Mexico to oper- ate at profit, and there is immediate danger that the workings will be closed until metal price rise.

WITHDRAWING WOMEN FROM
 MEMS WORK

SALT LAKE, March 28.-What hap peared to be a problem in the matter of replacing women by returned sol diers, particularly when the women positions they had secured due to men being called to war, seems to have solved itself in Utah, according to P. J. Moran, federal director in Utah for the United States employment service. MT. Moran believes the problem has ceased to be such and that the ques- tion is working out satisfactorily. His belief is based upon a consulta- tion of the records of the local en- ployment bureau.
 According to MT. Moran, requests from employers for women workers have been decreasing with remark able rapidity, while requests by women for positions also have decreased. The entrance of thousands of women into different lines of labor that they never before had attempted has not created the problem it was thought the country would face when the men began to return-at least this applies to Utah, Moran says.
 In one week in January, Mr. Morans figures show twenty-five employers asked for 149 women for different kinds of work. One month later, dur ing the week ending February 22, only sixty-three women were sought at the local employment bureau. During the week in January 137 women applied for work while in the February week only 112 sought positions.
 MT. Moran does not know whether marriage has had anything to do with the situation, or whether it is self sacrifice on the part of the women, but he says the women are gradually withdrawing from the jobs they held during the period of the war and do not seem anxious to return to any kind of work.

SHORTAGE OF
 COAL HFELT IN LONDON

LONDON, March 4 Correspond ence of the Associated Press) Coal queues, the terror of the poor London have again made their appearance be- cause of an acute shortage in the coal supply, and thousands upon thousands of persons have been daily standing in line in the hope of getting enough coal to keep some kind of fire going in their humble homes.
 A coal queue is an interesting sight. Early in the morning the number Of customers appearing at some distrlb- uting point exceeds the number being disposed of by the coal merchant. So they line up, in the order of their ar rival, and patiently wait until they are supplied, or are told by the mer- chant that he has no more-by no means an infrequent development.
 They buy in small quantities for two reasons-some of them have little money to invest in coal at existing high prices, while the second is the lack of means to remove large quan- titles. Often perambulators provide the vehicle, but more often the pur- chaser tucks his "black diamonds" away in an old basket, and hurries on his way.
 If the dealer is so fortunate as to have a ton or two of coal the queue will be maintained for hours in the biting cold. If his supply is short, he is soon sold out, and the queue dls- solves, only to be reformed at some other place in the hope of finding more coal.
 1t often happens that persons or means approach the dealer and oHer high prices for quantities out of all nroportion to the supply, and 1t IS often recorded that the dealer will re- fuse the temptation, because he knows that his trade is among the people who are his regular customers, the poor of the neighborhood, and they will not foget him when he has abund- ant coal to sell if he discrimlnates Ill favor of a casual but richer person.
 So. poor or rich alike, have been suffering and shivering, because ho one really expected the temperature 1o drop as sharply as it has within the mast few days. The winter to thls time has been open and wet and SICK eningly chilly, but not so cold as to cause actual suffering, even with short fuel supply. But with the mer- cury lowering around 20 degrees above zero, "12 degrees of frost they call if here, coal is a necessity.
 The shortage of coal is ascribed to a number of reasons, chiefly the dlla- tory work of the miners who have de- manded A six-hour working day, and the scarcity of railroad cars. Coai snnnlies in all centers of population are far below normal, and there is no prospect or an llnHlouA"'o
 ment in the situation. Many persons have sought other means of keeping warm. One old man and ms "lle' thev are over 80, have been in pea for a week because they have no coal in the house, and their daughter cares for them. Children also are oelhg kept between blankets with success hut the sturdy of the city must pear +ha burden as well as they can, with mighty little prospect of relief until the railroads are in better position or the balmy days of spring come to chase away the necessity for artlhc'al heat.

ANOTHER CASE OF JUDICIAL
TYRANNY.

cial usurpation of power, of a
courts encroachment on the liberties
OF the people, is just being consum-
mated in Memphis, Tennessee.
In that city, as the news columns
of The Graphic have told, an editor
E. Z. Leech Of the Memphis Press,
is about to spend ten days in Jail for
publishing an editorial attack on
political corruption.
Leech's editorial named no person,
referred to no judicial case; yet
local judge, Israel Peres, understood
it as reflection on him and ordered
the editors arrest and conviction on
charge Of contempt Of court.
This is one of long series of judi
cial attempts to muzzle newspapers,
and in some respects it is the most
glazing of any.
Many Of our readers Will recall the
nationwide interest that was aroused
back in 1913 by the attempt of a
Kansas City judge to railroad the
famous William r. Nelson, 76-year-
old editor Of the Kansas City Star, to
Jail for printing the news that this
judge had permitted attorneys fees
to take precedence over alimony in
divorce suit.
Many will recall the attempt to
place Editor Charles H. Clogston of
Terre Haute, Ind, in Jail for exposing
the crookedness of political gang
many Of whose members in and out
Of office afterward served richly de-
served terms in the federal peniten-
tiary at Leavenworth.
Many will remember the fine that
was levied on Editor Negley d.
Cochran of the Toledo News-Bee in
1914 for presuming to public articles
on the local street car situation while
case involving the street car system
was before the United States district
court.
This Memphis case is as fragrant
case Of judicial usurpation as the
worst of the other three.
It dates back to July, 1918.
The people of Memphis and Shelby
county, Tennessee, were aroused by
political conditions there. A CAM
paign was on and judges, among
other officials, were to be elected the
following month.
Two tickets were in the field-one
the gang ticket, and one a ticket
supported by citizens movement
that aimed at driving the bosses from
power.
The Memphis Press and the
Memphis Commercial-Appeal were
supporting the citizens movement
fighting for American democracy
against political despotism.
On July 20, 1916, the Memphis
Press printed an editorial headed
"The Shame of 1t ALP which started
off by saying Right will ultimate
" triumph in Memphis" which men,
toned no Judge and no case before
any court, but which contained these
paragraphs:
Even courts have been brought
into disrepute, and judges have
abandoned the principles of 10y
atty and integrity, have made a
farce Of the laws they swore to
enforce, have dragged their own
courts into the nire, have turned
traitors to their friends and
supporters and enemies to the
principles they professed, because
politicians have laid their hands
on them and forced them to do
their bidding"
1T is shameful thing to see
court dishonored and man
diseyaced to serve the ends Of
political sslf-seekers."

Madison, Wis, April 1.-THE girls
swimming team at Wisconsin univer-
sity is willing to meet any woman's
college swimming team in the country.
The team is out with a challenge to all
conference universities, and is willing
to take on any group of five coed
swimmers from any college in America.
The Wisconsin team consists of five
swimmers and two substitutes. Marian
Bundeke, Julia Watson and Josephine
Bliss are the freshmen, Hildegarde
Wipperman the sophomore, and Elean-
or Gaik, Adeline Briggs and Jessie Me-
gath are the juniors.
Miss Bliss, who is SO very modest
that she claims she would rather for
felt a worlds championship than have
to be photographed in an Annette KEEL
lerman, looks as if she might some day
vie for world honors. She has broken
three conference records already in her
first year in school and is after more
under the direction and coaching of
Eleanor Gaik, a junior who is also
swimming instructor.

took three firsts, in the breast stroke,
back stroke and free-for all, breaking
