Public Pressing Clinic
Innovation i'm Washington
Community Center Provides Fa"
cilifies Whereby Women and
Men MAY s@,Tidy Up'' Gratis

A public pressing clinic, where men
and women may clean and press their
untidy clothing, is the latest innovation
at the Thomson Community Center in
Washington. The privileges Of pressing
trousers, coats, skirts, dresses or suits
owing to the purchase Of new cleo
trio iron.
Under the arrangement, announced
by Mrs. A. J. Driscoll, community sec
rotary, any patron Of the community
center may take his or her clothes to
the Thomson School and have the free
use OF the electric iron. pressing cloth,
ironing board and cleaning sponge.
The problem, however, which confronts
the man or woman owning but one
change" Of rairnent is also the one
that is perplexing Mrs. Driscoll.
In these times of the high cost Of
living and patched clothes clubs Mrs.
Driscoll is confident that many men
possess only one suit of clothes. Such
men, she contends. usually need the use
of the pressing iron more frequently
than others.
But what can she do to preclude .
scandal when man with only one suit
Of clothes desires to press his trousers
while number of women are clamor-
ing for the use Of the iron? It's VIC
latlon OF the law TO JOCK the doors IN
the school buildings.
After careful deliberation. Mrs. Dris-
coll reached the following decision rel
ative to man with only one suit:
He must get one of the girls to press
his trousers gratis. If girl agrees
to press the trousers he will have to
remove them in the janitor's quarters
and wait patiently until the process
of pressing is completed.
The electric iron was obtained prin-
cipally for use of girls who make their
clothes on the community center's sew
ing machines. Heretofore girls making
dresses, skirts and other feminine wear
ing apparel at the community center
were forced to bear the expense of hav
ing their new raiment pressed by a
tailor.
One hundred and forty-hve girls
have used the center's sewing machine
this year to make their own clothes
and hats. Most of them were girls
who lived in boarding houses and had
no way of beating the high cost of
wearing apparel except by maxim their
own" One girl sewed for five months

Pulpw0Od Resource
OF Newfoundland
To Be Developed
Two Paper Manufacturing
Companies, One British,
the Other Norwegian, Get
Government Concessions

ST. JOHNS, N. F., Sept. 1o.-Im-
portant development of the great pulp
wood resources of Newfoundland is
about to be undertaken under grants
to two pulp and paper manufacturing
companies made at the last session of
the Colonial Legislature. One of these
companies is British, the other Nor
wegian.
The, mills of the British concern
will be located at Bonnie Bay, half
way up the west coast. This port is
the center of winter herring fishing
activities. In its vicinity are large
areas thickly wooded with spruce and
fir, through which flow rivers which
will afford good water power as we'll
as facilities for floating logs.
Bonavista Bay, on the east coast. is
to be the site of the Norwegian COM
pany's mill. Codfshing at present is
the great industry there. Backward
from the bay runs series of we'll
wooded valleys. drained by rivers Of
good size.
At present the only pulp and paper
mills on the island are at Grand Falls,
in the interior. where the Anglo-New-
foundland Development Company some
plant which supplies the Northcliffe
papers in England with most of their
paper. Before the war capitalists
were negotiating for other similar
projects.
Now that the survivors Of the New
foundland regiment are at home again
and the supply Of labor appears salts
factory, the worldwide demand for
paper has stimulated new efforts. Nc
gotiations are under way looking to-
ward exploiting large tracts Of spruce
on the south coast. The extensive tim
Der holdings Of the eid-Newfoundland
Company, obtained as part of their
compensation from the government for
opening up a large part of the colony
with a railway line, also are expected
to be utilized for pulp making in the
near future. Still another project in
contemplation is the establishment of
paper and pulp mills, sawmils and
veneer mills for the manufacture of
birch into boxes and barrels, at St.
Georges, OH the west coast.
The company promoting the st.
Georges enterprise is composed of Brit
ish and American capitalists, who con-
troll 1900 square miles Of timber land
in that vicinity and 1000 square miles
bordering on Grand Lake, the largest
body of water in the colony. The upper
end of the lake has direct rail connec-
ton with St. Georges.
Several years ago the manager of
the Grand Falls mills testified at n
hearing by an American commission at
Washington that paper could be manu-
featured about 81 a ton cheaper in
Newfoundland than in the United
States. Paper men say that the mar
gin at present is larger.

Anthracite Strike
Called OFF Inn ALI
Districts but One
Coal Diggers Insist ON Bosses
and Clerks Who Quit i'm
Sympathy Being Reinstaf-
ed When They Report

HAZLETON, Pa, Sept. 19.-General
resumption Of operations tomorrow in
the anthracite coal fields, with the ex-
ception of the Schuylkill district, was
predicted here tonight by officials Of
the United Mine Workers. The MAORI
ty of the vacation strikers, they de-
clare, have voted to return to work
pending efforts Of the policy commit
tee to reopen the wage negotiations.
The miners, with the exception of
several local unions in the Hazleton
district, have voted unanimously to re-
turn. Similar action has been taken
by the vacationists in the Wyoming
and Lackawanna districts, but the
strike against the contractor system at
the collieries of the Pennsylvania Coal
Company at Pittston will be continued.
The strike, however, is being conducted
mostly by non-union miners.
While large number of the $4,000
miners in District No. 8 have voted to
resume work tomorrow, more than
10000 coal diggers have decided to con-
tinue their vacation. They will remain
out until the operators have reinstated
monthly men, mine bosses and clerks
who quit in sympathy with the miners.
Nearly all locals in the Mount Car
mel section Of District No. 9 have voted
to return, but in the Shamokin fields
the general mine committee has order
ed the vacation continued until the at
titude Of the operators toward the SYM
pathy strikers is revealed.
Christ j. Golden, president Of the
district, said all monthly men in the
district would report for work to-mor-
row morning. If they are reinstated
he said, it was probable that all the va
cationists would be back to work in a
few days.
Railroad officials announced that an
adequate number of cars had been dis
tributed to all collieries in this dis
trict.
Thomas Kennedy, president Of the
Hazleton district Of the Mine Work
ers and chairman of the policy commit
tee, said tonight that as soon as word
was received from Philip Murray, in
ternational vice-president of the United
Mine Workers, plans would be made for
reconvening the committee. The COM
mittee, he said, would probably hold a
session here the latter part of the
week and begin preparing the case OF
the miners to be placed before the
Secretary Of Labor at Washington.
