MRS. KAUPKE Is
RECOVERING FROM
EFFECTS OF GAS

Mrs. William Kaupke, who was
the victim Of gas poisoning at ner
home, 1919 Tenth avenue, Thursday,
is reported as well on the way to
recovery today. Mrs. kaupke was
overcome by escaping gas from an
iron which she was using, ana was
found by Mrs. Reuben Bollman OF
1900 Seventeenth street, uncon-
scious on the floor.
The accident occurred when MRS.
Kaupke noticed the odor OF escap-
ing gas and reached up to turn on
the burner. Because of her faint
ing condition brought about by the
fumes, she turned it in the opposite
direction and received the fun force
of the escaping gas.
She fell to the floor, unconscious,
and was found shortly afterward by
Mrs. Bollman, who Immediately
summoned help and called DR.. 10
seph DeSilva.
DR.. DeSilva stated that had Mrs
Kaupke remained in the gas-filled
room for two minutes longer the
accident would likely have proved
fatal The victim was unconscious
for several hours.
Mr.. Kaupke was notified and
rushed to his home at once. There
was no one at home at the time that
Mrs. Kaupke was overcome and it IL

WILL THE PRESS AGAIN
 SURRENDER?

The movement for nationwide en- forcement of Sabbatarian Sunday, with 10th amendment in the of1ng, has suddenly assumed sensational pro- portions, says the Weekly Review It IS, and is everywhere recognized as be- ing, the legitimate offspring of the 18th amendment. There is every reason to expect that 1t will be backed by much the same forces and promoted by much the same methods.
 Just now the most interesting ques- ton in the case is the question of what the leading newspapers of the country are going to do about 1t. Their record III the case of the 18th amendment is one that can not be thought of without a feeling of humiliation. We do not refer to the case of arden advocates of the prohibition amendment-if indeed there were such advocates among our leading newspapers. What we have in mind is the attitude of most of them. In the face of a proposed change in our institutions that violated the most fundamental principles of sound gov ernment in general, and which in par ticular destroyed the control of our states over the regulation of the daily lives of their citizens, nearly all the papers that ought to have been leaders of public opinion adopted an attitude either of feeble advocacy, feeble neu- trality or feeble opposition.

 ing Backward.

A readJustnent of wages and hours of work for steamboat and tug pilots, engineers and marine workers in gen. eral, employed on Sound vessels, Is to take place January 1, 1t was said on the waterfront this week. Including New York harbor some 4,000 men will be affected.
 Following the stress of freight traf- fc last spring and harbor troubles in New York, high wage agreements were made with the marine workers and the hours of work per week fixed at 60. Now vessel owners seek wage re- duction and 70 hour week with no pay for overtime until that number Is reached. Unless a compromise is af- fected, it is said there is likely to be trouble the first of the year between the vessel owners and the members of the Marine Workers Unions.
 An official of the Eastern Marine Workers Association, which has juris- diction over the men employed on Sound boats east of New York, said that not much difficulty in the matter of wage agreements was expected, but that the question. of work hours was likely to result in serious controversy and possibly strike. The Union Marine Workers had long and severe fight to reduce the working hours from 70 to 60 per week, and 1t is not pro- posed to progress backward in this regard.

STARTLING DISCLOSURES MADE IN ANTHRACITE
 COAL INVESTIGATION

New York; Dec. 10.-Startling testi- money regarding alleged profteering in anthracite coal prices was given at the opening of the investigation of the United States Senate committee on re- construction and production into the hard coal industry.
 Outstanding features of the testi- mony were:
 New England states and New York are each taxed $17,000,000 annually in excessive" coal prices.
 Company producers are selling coal at $8 f. o. b. mines, while "independents'' are charging SIS ton
 Independent operators increased prices from $8.75 to SIS ton at mines since last April
 Coal prices were raised from $1 to $1.60 ton last April in anticipation of wage increases to miners" which finally only cost the operators from 45 to 50 cents ton. Coal wholesalers frequently sell to one another, usually taking profit of Sl ton, increasing the cost propor- tionately upon the consumer. Twenty-Five big coal concerns in New York and other eastern cities are a ton, when fair price would be $9.50. There Is no coal shortage in the country, but there is "coal panic Seven anthracite companies control about 75 to 80 per cent. of the entire hard coal output.
 Whiel the output of independent producers is only 25 per cent. of the entire anthracite production, more than 40 per cent. of the hard coal is being sold on the market at excessive inde- pendent prices"
 Antitrust laws prevent operators from getting together to adopt regu- latory measures to curb the prices charged by midd1emen and wholesalers While the anthracite operators had an organization, they never discussed prices, although their prices were to a large extent uniform.
 Thousands of dollars were spent by anthracite operators for publicity to offset public press attacks.
 Eugene Huffman, fuel administrator for Massachusetts, in appearing before the committee to protest against his state being made the dumping ground for independent anthracite coal at sex- cessive prices testified that New Eng land was being taxed $17,OOO,0OO in ex- cess of the fair price" charged by com pany producers.

BLUE LAWS TO BE
 OPPOSED BY K. OF C.

Word has reached New Haven that the Knights of Columbus all over the country have been instructed to fight any measure pertaining to rigid "blue laws" and campaign will be launched at once and fought with as much en- thusiasm as the campaign against the Reds"
 There are 1000 K. of C. councils in the country through which the 1ectur- CTS will reach four million people dur ing the winter season.
 The order to oppose this law came from James A. F1aherty, supreme knight, as soon as the blue law cam paigners announced their plan to com pei an eventless Sunday observance throughout the country.
 Supreme Secretary McGen1ey in out lining plans said:
 We have had numerous offers on the part of both men and women to campaign against the radical uncoguid under K. of C. auspices. Some have even offered to contribute to a cam paign fund to be used in counteract- ing the blue law advocates. The K. of C. will take no part i'll paid activity against blue laws, as that course is no less censurab1e than that of those who accept pay to agitate blue laws. It is a matter of patriotic conscience Com mon-sense forces us to pity the men who will accept wages for his attempts to force his own views of righteous ness on the public. And American common-sense, when stimulated as we stimulate 1t through K. of C. open forums throughout the country, will re- ject any program calling for organized and legahzed unhappiness."
