Will 1t Rain Here
For Forty Days?
Weather Bureau Does Not
Place Much Faith in st.
Swithin's Day Prediction.

ST. Swithin's Day. If thou dost rain.
For forty days it will remain:
st. Swithin's Day, if thou be fair.
For forty rain twill rain ma mair.
Thus runs the old tradition
but what happens when the rain
fall on July Is, traditionally
known as st. Swithin's Day, is SO
slight that even the sensitive ap-
paratus at the local Weather Bu-
reau is unable to record the
amount?
Maybe there will be twenty fair
days and twenty rainy ones" said
one faithful follower of the ia
nous saint last night.
mo matter: how slight the rain
fall on st. Swithin's Day, the next
forty will be water-soaked," said
another believer.
"Ah. the whole thing is bun
combe." added a non-believer.
SO there you are. Take your
choice, for the Weather Bureau
reports state that there was a
trace Of rain yesterday.
Evidently the Weather Bureau
does not place much faith in the
traditional weather prediction, for
in the forecast for the coming
week II states that the weather
will be generally fair, with tenn
perature near or somewhat above
normal"
The highest temperature record
ed yesterday was s0.1 degrees. To-
day the weather will be generally

above the waist belt she wore a

Scotland Yard Notified.
On entering her Limousine with
the admiral at o'clock in the
morning. Lady Beatty discovered
that her brooch was missing. I'm
mediately, she notified the Scotland

occasions to look after royalty and
other titled guests who began dis
Greet observations at once. The
sleuths privately identified all the
guests still present. but about 100
had already left Mall House.
When detectives learned of the
theft of the brooch they suggested
that a search be made of every
body present. Horritied at. the sug-
gestion Lady Beatty pointed out
that the Prince of Wales, the Duke
of York and scores of other celebri-
ties were present. She insisted it
was impossible to take such drastic
measures and stated she preferred
to lose the jewelry.
1t was decided that IL would not
be possible to search the other
guests IL the nobility was exempted
through fear of scandal and indig-
nant protests from official circles.

now only file withe his application a

to collect the facts and give con-
sidsration to broad matters of prin-
cipie and policy. These questions
involve the reorganization of a
huge industry. which. in itself. is a
prodigious undertaking.
T. Not All Operators Bound.
In the face of this tremendously
important task. no wage questions
should be injected.
I'VE believe that there would be
no difficulty in establishing proper
wage scales through conferences
with the, operators IL the Industry
itself was operating on a proper ba-
sis, and that therefore, IL the COM
mission Is Successful in establishing
the proper basis for the future con-
duct of the industry, the fixing Of de-
tailed wage scales can properly be
left to the usual conferences.
Operators representing nearly 90
per cent OF the tonnage in strike
fields where production is stopped
have not been. in attendance in
such recent conferences and we
have no information that the pro-
posed plan of arbitration has been
submitted to them by any govern
mental agency. We are further
advised. through public and pri-
vate information, that these inter-
ests have no intention of comins
within the purview of the provt-
sions of your plan of adjustment.
Fear to Commit selves.
Under such circumstances, it is
futile to believe that any general
settlement. can. be made. 1t is
manifestly unfair to attempt to
exact from the mine workers rep
resentatives commitment to an ar
bitratioh plan while at the same
time powerful Operating interests
employing hundreds of thousands
of men now on strike are left free
to follow their own selfish i'm
pulses and escape responsibility in
the premises.
We feel assured that your eX-
cellency transmitted this plan of
settlement with the sincere hope
that the present strike could be
adjusted upon a basis Of national
scope. We find upon. examination,
however, that even the acceptance
of the plan by the mine work
ers would bring about only a
partial settlement, leaving the
public to be embarrassed and in
dustry further dislocated by a con-
tinuance Of the strike situation in
vast coal producing areas. The
mine workers cannot. under these
circumstances, lightly consider the
utter abandonment of more than
100000 Of their members to the
whims and caprices Of hostile en-
ploying interests who are publicly
committed to the policy of de-
struction of, collective bargaining"
