FIGHT BRITISH STRIKE
SETTLEMENT PLAN

London, Oct. 3O.-Opposition was
expected for the coal settlement
plan on which miners now are vot-
ing, union executives said tonight.
They were not surprised that the
first opposition developed in Wales,
where the more radical members of
the federation are employed
1t was believed the vote will be
complete in time for resumption of
work by Monday. November s if the
proposition should carry.
At a conference of Welsh miners,
local executives advised their fol-
lowing against approval of the set
tlement which provides immediate
increases of 2 shillings per day
until January 3, whereafter adjust
ments would be made every two
weeks by a wage board The board
would consider production in max
ing the scale. Cheshire and Lam
cashire executives were said to have
advised rejection. Staffordshire and

Prussia Orders
Curfew to Ring
Nightly at Ten

Berlin. Oct. 3O.-A curfew will
ring at 10 o'clock throughout Prus-
sia this winter except in Berlin and
Il few other principal cities where
the cafes, restaurants and theaters
will be permitted to remain open
until IL o'clock. The hours were
laid down this week, in a ukase
from the minister of the interior,
and probably will apply to all Ger
many.
The reason for the early closing
order is the great possibility Of an
increase in the coal shortage, which
has already forced the coal syndi-
cate to suspend deliveries to electric
power plants in the Rhineland and
Westphalia, closing down a number
of blast furnaces and other plants
and necessitated the greatest pos
sible saving of gas and electric
light during the winter. While the
crisis as far as rationed deliveries
is acute there has been no difficulty
experienced in buying all the coal
desired illicitly at prices contrast
ing favorably with those charged in
America. The price of coal sold
illicit1y, including a premium for de-
livery without a coal card, is for
example, $3.50 in Berlin, provided
at least fifty hundredweight are
taken and higher for smaller guam
titles.
Illicit trading has assumed such
proportions in Central Germany that
special coal police" are about to
be established by the government to
hunt down the vioIators and con-
fscate the Illicit deliveries

Dept. Of Justice Statement
Says 800 Cases Yet

Results of an investigation into

1t was indicated that the Depart

corporations under the Lever Act.
Companies' Names Not Given.
The companies against which pro-
ceedings are to be brought were not
named, although the Department

OF those investigated

ing cases had been brought and sem

still pending. This work was car
ried on, the department said. in face
of doubt of the constitutionality of
the Lever Act.
Speaking of the charges against
the American Woolen Company, the
department said:
Publicity Caused Cancellation.
The publicity attendant upon this
indictment and the facts revealed
thereby caused, according to the ad-
mission of the company itself, a tre-
mendOus cancellation of orders.
They used this as preteXt for shut

month but they reopened and an

The leather industry. according to
the statement, also followed in re-
ducing prices, as did retail mail or
der houses while cotton goods prices
were cut 35 per cent.
The department also called atten-
tion to prosecution of sugar com
Panies and said that presentations
of coal dealers had been brought
wherever possible, resulting in re-
duced coal prices.
