WORLDLY

WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-Senator
Calder to-day introduced in the SEN
ate a bill for the regulation Of the
coal industry. This measure is the
result Of the investigation by the
Calder sub committee on Recon
struction and embodies the views
of Senator Calder and his associates
looking to the removal of profiteer-
ing in the industry and other prac-
tices which contributed to the chaos
Of the coal panic period. In his
speech in support Of the bill, Senator
Calder said:
4 desire to iptroduce n bill for GER
tain regulations of the coal industry
based on the committees work thus
far. 1t is the Judgment OF the COM
mittee that additional Legislation will
be found necessary. but the commit
tee feels that this bill be introduced
and considered promptly at this time.
"A constant sufficient coal supply
at reasonable prices is so essential to
public health that we feel anything
which looks toward that object may
fairly be considered emergency leg
islation.
Primarily this is a bill to provide
for current, regular, impartial pub
licity by reports through Govern
ment agencies of the essential facts
concerning the coal industry and
trade for the benefit Of all concerned
instead Of having the facts gathered
by those in the industry and used
or divulged only as suits their within
or purpose.
"Our investigation has disclosed,
first, that even after enjoing a Gov
ernment agency the Federal Trade
Committee from gathering such facts
for general use and dissemination, the
oltuminous coal industry through
their national association and in
branches, have gathered from its
members all that the Federal Trade
Committee requested and many more
TENS, and, second, that while these
facts were then known TO the coal
operators, they have induced biased
and self serving publicity propa-
sanda, even boasting OF having got
ten their story out through the AS
sociated Press as Associated Press

Your committee believes a regu-
lar and impartial disclosure OF the
facts Of the industry by districts as

HUSBANDS HERE
Washington Estimates Num-
Der at $4,000 a Year

MEN AT A PREMIUM.
France Faces Deficit of ST.
~ 100000 Males; Italy and
Britain Close Behind.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-The Unit
ed States Of America now is rapidly
becoming the worlds matrimonial
centre.
Blessed with an oversupply Of males
in proportion to females, this country
is attracting women OF all nations at
the rate of nearly $4,000 a year, Gov
ernment records show. Thousands OF
these women hope to obtain husbands
End homes in this country, while
thousands more are coming to join
husbands from whom they have been
separated.
Women constituted 42.4 per cent. OF
the total OF all immigration in the
fiscal year ended June 30, and the
proportion now is probably greater.
Before the war women constituted SO
per cent. of the immigrants. British,
Irish, Italian and French women form
nearly 80 per cent. of the total immi-
grafton from those countries. Only
the dark-eyed beauties Of Spain seem
content to remain at home, their emf
grafton record being only IL per cent.
of the total departures from that
country.
The rush OF women to the United
States is regarded by, Government
officials as a logical result OF the war,
which left Europe with an abnormal
excess OF women, and France and
other European countries are begin
ming to be anxious. One French
scientist recently advanced the pro-
SOsal that the Government should set
I'D a matrimonial bureau to attract
mArriageable men to that country. He
estimated that nearly 1000, 900 French
women of this generation will be hus-
bandless. In England and Italy the
same problem is being considered by
officials.
In practically all schemes proposed
the United States is regarded as the
most logical country to furnish the
needed males. The French proposal
as originally framed, stipulated that
the Government confer a bonus and
land upon the American. male willing
TO immigrate TO that country. become
a householder and take out French
citizenship papers.
Another result Of the present condi.
tion is seen, according to sociologists
in present day fashions, the womer
buying costumes which will max,
their charms most attractive.

IRISH FAIL To
FREE GRIFFITH
Unsuccessful Attack Made
on Mount Joy Prison to
Free Leader of Irish Cause
IBJ The Associated Press

DUBLIN, May 14.-An unsuccess-
full attempt was made to rescue Ar
thur Griffith, founder of the Sim
Fein Organization from confine-
ment in Mount JOY prison. An ar
mored car was used in the attempt to
rescue him.
A man in an officers uniform
alighted at the prison gates which
opened to admit the passage of the
car and he and his companions in
the motor drove straight to the gov
ernor's Office where the governor
and his officers were bound and gag
ged. The men were returning to the
car when they encountered a party
of auxiliaries.
This necessitated change of
course, by the raiders. Meanwhile a
sentry at an elevated point became
suspicious and fired a shot on hear
ing this the raiders decamped with
out the prisoners.
Arthur Griffith was arrested No
vember 26 last and lodged in the
prison. The grounds for his arrest
were not given at the time but it
was explained it was due to the de-
sire of the government to learn if
he was responsible for the alleged
usage of Republican funds in am
bush and other operations. The car
used by the men in the attempted
rescue was reported captured after
surprise attack after two of the oc-
cupants were wounded. The Sim
Feiners disguised themselves as
members of the prison.

MINERS BATTLE
IN MOUNTAIN
Struggle to Decide Question
of "Unions" or "Open
Mines" is Being Fought.

WILLIAMSON, w. Va, May IA
The battle in the mountains of
Mingo county, West Virginia, and
Pike county. KY, along the Tug r!v
er raging for several days, fierce as
it has been, is merely a phase of a
greater struggle in which this coal
district is locked, the industrial
struggle being over the question of
unionizing or keeping open the
mines. And that struggle is being
waged with every known weapon.
Union miners of lockout strikes
are evicted from homes owned by
the coal companies to settle nearby
on leased lands or tent colonies.
No longer able to trade at the COM
pany commissaries at the various
mining towns, they live on rations
shipped in by the union. Deprived
of funds they draw benefits from the
international unions.
Propaganda is being circulated,
eac hblaming the other for disor-
ders. Threats and rumors of
threats are discussed in virtually
every gathering.
The operators are firm in their
determination 70 keep the field open
rhe united mine workers are deter
mined that the struggle must go on
until the union is recognized.

BAYARD BEACH
To Be LARGER
Purchase Two Lots on Beach
Front to Improve Facilities
for the Coming Summer.

In order to make extensive i'm
proVements at their beach here be-
lore the summer season opens, Nell
lie and Samuel Bayard have just
completed the purchase of two lots
on the beach front, from John h.
Bryan, formerly OF Water street.
but now residing in Baltimore, Nd.
The lots are sixty feet wide and
adjoin the present Bayard beach
property. They extend from Water
street over the bluff and into the
water giving the new owners all ri
parian rights and the right to build
piers, slips and wharves on land
covered with water. The two lots
include the present wide stairway
extending from the bluff to the
beach.
The new owners viii start to work
at once enlarging the bungalow on
the beach, so that refreshments may
be sold on a larger scale than here
tofore. New bathing houses will be
erected so that twice the number
of bathers may be accomm odated
than at present. Arrangements have
also been made for the employing
of a professional lifesaver at the
beach this summer. The necessity
of employing professional life
saver was brought about through
the number of narrow escapes from
drowning last summer. In most
instances these were persons who
were Just learning to swim.
The renting of canoes and row
boats will also be an added feature
this season.
The transaction was made through
the law offices of Jacob NJ. Klein.
