strengthen other peoples"
The White House has been opened
to the people and APPROACH to the
President has not been Andered, Mr..
Coolidge said. Communication be-
tween Congress and the President
has likewise been open, frank and in
elusive, he added, and there has been
no coercion, no servity but strict OBJ
seryance OF constitutional independ
cnce, bred Of mutual regard, respect
and confidence.
"The truth is" the Vice president
ticipating in a great liberal move
ment which has been felt around the
world
Economics have made it possible,
Mr.. Collidgc added, to reduce govern
ment expenditures from an actual
outlay of five and a half billion for
the past year to an estimated outlay
Of three and a half billion for the
coming year. This accomplishment,
he said has had a beneficial effect,
and has made possible the passage of
the revenue bill which for the first
year it is in operation will reduce
taxation by an estimated amount of
about $500, 100000. The costs of tralm :
portatiOn already have been greatly
reduced and are being further inves-
tigated for a general readjustmcnt,
and he asserted further "the prosper
ity of the nation, the management Of
tho business of the nation has been
restored to the people"
What bad failed of accomplishment
at Paris had been done in Washing
ton, he declared, adding that but
necessary relationship to other ma
tions had been revealed not as one of
antagonism but of friendly cooper

U. S. Golf Executive
Committee Announces
Changes in Tourney PLAY

New York, April 5.-Restoration OF
the stymie banning. of the steel shaft
clubs for tournament play. and decision
to charge admissions to all champion
ship tournaments. were among de-
cisions announced today by the execu-
tive committee of the United States
Golf Association.
In restoring the stymie, the commit
tee makes the American game, in this
respect, Uniform with the royal and
ancient play of Great Britain. The
stymie was abolished in January, 1921.
Explaining its decision. the commit
tee says the stymie belongs in golf"
because lit represents the most scien-
tilic phase of the game"
In preventing the use of steel shaft
clubs the committee feels that it has
nipped in the bud an instrument that
the best friends of golf thought would
be injurious to proficiency in play.
The committee believes that with
the steel shaft the lack of tension
caused the club to act differently from
the ordinary accepted shaft for with
wood, the limit of distance has prac-
llcally been fCaclleu
I'm other words, it is felt that in
stead of making for good golf it Of
fers too much of an aid to imperfectly
played shots"
The decision to charge admission for
championship tournaments was largely
the result of agitation by a number of
clubs over whose courses immense
galleries have trampcd. At meetings
under the associat lions auspices there
will be charge of 81 Il day. or s. a
week. The committee calls attention
to the fact that such charge is only
in line with practice of MOST sports,
! and that clubs should be reimbursed
! for entertainment and damage to links.
The committee is favorably consd-
| cring replacing the present sized
| championship ball with a larger one
! Experiments have been begun, but poor
weather conditions prevented compile
ton and decision was deferred. In
changing the ball the committee aims
to obtain a pellet of greater dura-
| bility."
Nothing has been decided about send
ing another American team abroad
such as went to England last year
| Official Cognizancc Of the advent of Z
British team, however, was taken.
The Scarborough Golf Club Of Bos-
ton was transferred from allied to ae-
tive membership.

shouting and booing.
a mass meeting was conducted on
the common by One Big Union
leaders late in the afternoon. From
the speakers stand the gates of the
lower Pacific mills were visible and
while Sam Bramhall, one of the
leaders of the 1919 strike, was
speaking he saw about 100 workers
leaving the mill gates.
There they go, the scabs," he
cried, and the assembled strike SYM
pathiZers rushed to the gates.
At five o'clock when the mills US
ually cease running for the day, a
crowd of several thousand was
gathered about the entrances. shout
ling and booing the workers. Officials
of the mills notified the police that
they were going to keep the workers
within the mill gates for protection.
At $50 police made a passageway
for the workers through the crowd.
Several women operatives were
seized by the pickets but the police
acted quickly and hurried some of
while others took refuge in the police
station nearby. They returned TO
their homes when the excitement had
subsidized.
Later in the evening four strike
sympathizers mistook a man for a
non-union worker and attacked him
quarter of a mile from the mill
district. A crowd gathered and a
general hand to hand encounter fol-
lowed. Police arrived before the
fight gained serious proportions.
When q few workers at the Pacific
mills attempted to go to their homes
in an automobile several hours after
the regular closing hour the car was
stoned by pickets but no one was in
jtf'ed
Early today officials of the Pacific
mills claimed that more workers had
appeared, but at noon 200 employees
in the spinning room left their work
and announced they would not re-
turn. At the same time 20 operatives
in the -Wo1sted drawing room took
similar action. 1t was estimated that
the mills sustained net loss during
the day. =
Due 10 the more violent attitude Of
the pickets it was believed that
many workers would not appear to-
morrow. Officials of the Pacific
mills. the special object of the pick
citing. announced that tho mills would
remain open as usual

lief that the workers had established
their sincerity of purpose at the hear
ings in Washington.
Our position remains unassaible,' .
he said. There also seems to be a
sympathetic response on the part of
the public to our efforts to settle
peaccably our controversy with the
operators"
Whatever may be the reply of the
operators to Congressman Nolan's S
proposal the miners will continue to
keep their maintenance men in the
mines in accordance with the pre-
strike agreement, Mr.. Lewis stated.
He vigorously denied reports that
unless the bituminous operators
agreed to a conference the union
men would withdraw from the COL
lieries all engineers, firemen and
pump men detailed to protect prop
erty while the strike is on.
The strike. both in the btuminous
and anthracite fields is effective 100
percent, Mr.. Lewis said. Although
reports were too incomplete to in
dicate to what extent the 100000 nom
union miners had joined the walk
out he asserted "the strike is rapid
ly being extended into non union
territory"
Miners delegates to the sub COM
mittee on wage scale negotiations
today continued to present data in
support of their claims for a 90 per-
cent increase for contract men and
a minimum wage of $500 n day for
straight time workers.
Philip Murray, vice PRECEDENT Of
the United Mine Workers. who head
cd the miners section Of the sub
committee, offered figures to show
that the mortality rate among the
men was 81 percent higher than in
other normal basic industries Of the
country. .J
Tho miners today also offered tes-
timony in support of their demands
