 AND WIFE VISIT THE
 16TH STREET CHURCH
Noted Colored Choir Sings Special Number for the Visitors-Mr.
 Whyte Makes Brief Talk

Alexander F. Whyte, member of the British Parliament, his wife and party of local frieuas attended the morning services at the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church yesterday, and were given treat py the singing of several special numbers by the noted colored choir.

 At the request of Dr. Williams, Mr Whyte made brief talk. in which, after expressing his appreciation of the service and singers. he told of the changed con ditions that had been brought about by the World war and the necessity or grasping the opportunity to meet them.

,BELFAST ELECTION RESULTS TURN OUT
 ID BE FREAK|SH
Resulted In a Mixture of Unionists, Nationalists, Sim Feiners and La
 bOrites
By Associated Pres,

Belfast, January 1S.-Up to January Is the Belfast corporation consisted of 52 unionists and nationalists, but as a result of the elections which ended Saturday. in which the laborites, Dew linites and Sim Feiners skiilfully punched votes. it has S7 unionists, , nationalists. 5 Sim Feiners and 13 la borites. The politics of the last named party ranges from extreme socialist to labor unionist and Orange. The re- suits of the elections generally were of freak order
 In the Shankill district. strong hold of Orangeism. socialist topped the poll. and of the remaining seven members one is a socialist and another Sim Feiner. In Victoria. which IS a safe unionist parliamentary seat. nationalist headed thu poll and Sim Feiner and laborte also were elected.
 The change was nor restricted to the unionists. as in Joseph Dev1in's con- stituency in the Falls division of Bell fast the constitutional nationalists boiled two seats and a nationalist has been returned together with two Sim Feiners and a Sim Fefn laborite.
 For the first time in history the Belfast city hall was the scene of speech in Irish in which the Sim Feiner. Mir Carolan of Shanllill. returned thanks for his election. For the first time also the city hall heard the strains of The Red Flag" which was chorused by ex- infant socialists outside The altera- tion in the voting power of the city was brought about largely by the Southern Irish invasion of the shipyards to re- place men who joined che coors early in the war before the government placed an embargo on recruiting from such tablishments.
 Interest now centers on Derry, where the final result in the election will be known Tuesday.
 The Unionists previously have had majority of five there, but the utmost they have hoped for in this election is equality in membership. and to insure this they limited the number of candi- dates in order to concentrate their votes. The totals in two wards are still to be announced Both sides voted every available man and woman. but the na- tionalists are protesting the greater con fidence. The object of the struggle is by one side to insure Derrv's inclusion in premier Lloyd Georges Ulster scheme. and by the other side to be left out of it.

LEWIS TELLS WHAT
 IS MEANT BY THE
 3O-HOUR DEMAND
Says Miners Want a Guar antee of That Much a Week, Which They Do
 Not Now Average
By Associated Pres,

Washington. January ls.-Defending bi- luminous coal miners demand for q thirty hour week and a 60 per cent in- crease in wages. John L. Lewis. acting president of the United Mine Workers of America, declared in statement to- night that present number of miners could produce 55o,eOo,coo tFhs of coal, tn, estimated requirement of the country foi 1920 on the six-hour day basis.
 The head of the miners union summar- ized in his statement evidence to be placed before the coal strike settlement commission tomorrow when il resumes it's hearings
 What the miners really mean is that they be assured of at least 30 hours work a week during the year MT. Lewis said "They want to get away from the present system under which they may find As hours employment one week and none the next. One Of the great troubles Of the coal miners has been lack of em- ployment.
 ''The average number of days worked per year in the central competitive field since 1913 was 206 1-2. A man cannot earn enough in 205 t-2 days to keep his family for S65 days.
 There is still another reason. Miners work under ground completely shut off from sunshine and fresh air Under these conditions men cannot work as continu- ously as those employed above the ground.
 Fabulous wages for coal miners exist only in the mines of those who are op- posed to granting better conditions tc the minor The only fari method for as- pertaining what a man earns is to take his income for an entire year.
 'In the central fields tee average wage of mine workers for the six years from 1913 to l91S inclusive. was SS73SJ. This was less than $75 a month, and out of this the miner paid for his powder. fuse, caps, oil lamps tools and other supplies, averaging from S to SIP per month.
 Dealing with the profits of coal mine owners, Lewis asserted that mine oper- ators could afford to pay the, increases asked could reduce the working day very materially and make q profit larger than the profit made in 1916.

stances surrounding the death of w.
]. Thompson prominent young far
mer, last Thursday. The funeral,

investigation into the cause of death
was instituted, with the result that
no signs of other than a natural
death were revealed from the autop-
sy. A brother of the deceased is be-
lieved to have become suspicious of
the dead mans sixteen-year-old wife
and caused the funeral to be halted
just as the body was about to be low
cred into the grave. DR.. Richard
Russell of Arvada, was called to at
tend the sick man, and pronounced
his case Summer Influenza" DR.. Ell
more of East Lake was also called in

agnosis of Doctor Russell. The af-
fair has created a sensation in the
