MILLIONS SAVED
BY REDUCTION OF
STRIKES, is REPORT

Chicago. March 1G.-Strikes in the
national building industry have been
reduced and millions of dollars saved
dictional awards. it was stated in re-
port presented before the executive
board OF the American Engineering
Counsel of the Federated American
Engineering Societies here today. The
report prepared by Rudolph p. Miller
of New York said that. through the
board. contractors and workers were
being brought closer together and that
the past year had witnessed accom-
plishments OF great significance to the
nation in the adjustment of relations
between capital and labor
Decisions of the iurisdictional board,
the report stated, are receiving recog-
nition at the hands of the federal
courts, notably by former Judge *.
NJ. Landis in Chicago labor disputes.
The report expressed grave con-
Germ over the attitude of the Building
Trades Employers Association OF New
York which it said 'is responsible for
the decisions of the board not being
universally obeyed." One discord9nt
element in the national building trades
situation is the report OF the hostility
of the United Brotherhood of Carpen-
ters and Joiners of America, which
has refused to submit their own dis
putes to the jurisdictiOnal board eX-
cept when forced to do so.

ISLAND :: !:
STRIKE NOW IN
SEVENTH WEEK

Providence. r. l.. March 10.-(By
the Associated Press. THE Rhode,
Island textile strike now closing its
seventh week. has developed into a
war of attritiOn. This is the opinion
expressed today by representatives of
both manufacturers and workers.
We will fight it out on these lines
ii it takes all summer" said VIM. II.
Derrick OF the Amalgamated Textile
workers, head of the strike Organiza-
ti0n in the Pawtucket valley. where
more than one-third Of the $4,000 OPP
eralives, idle in the states as a result
of the strike. are ordinarily employed.
Derrick announced his obieci ion to
the 4S-hour week. no reduction in
wages and no discrimination against
strikers returning to work.
Just as fast as the employees dem
onstraie that they want to 90 back,
or any considerable number of them.
the mills will be opened" said Edward
F. Walker secretary of the Rhode Is
land Textile Association. The man.
ufacturers offer a 90 per cent wage
reduction and 54-hour week. APP
proXimately a score of their mills are
closed.
Derrick claims that the Pawtucket
valley strikers could carry on indefi-
nitely without work. Seven soup kitch-
ems in as many mill villages feed thou
sands of strikers daily.
Contributions continue to come in
steadily from the outside, he says.
The strikers continue to dwell in the
houses owned by the mills. Strike
headquarters in Artic have been
leased for a year.
If the mill owners evict our work
ers, they will have to drive out about
10000 people, counting five to a fam
ily." Derrick declared. Anyway. the
weather is getting warmer and they
can live in tents. Our organization
is brand new. dating back to the time
when the strike began. but our work
ers are a unit We have the mill own
ers licked right now
Representative of the mill owners
responded that the expenses of the
free soup kitchens were three times
the income of the strike fund daily,
that hangers-on were fed while legiti-
mate workers in many cases were not
and that only a small group desired
to enter on fight to the finish with
/ the mills Many, they said, wanted
/ to go to work again, but were afraid
/ of the bludgeon and the blacklist"
I Derrick declared that the reopen
( ing today of mills closed by the strike
/ had proved Il failure. He claimed that
i in no instance had enough hands been
! obtained to make operation worth
while. Mill owners on the other hand
reported steady gains in the plants
that had resumed.
OF thirty-six mills, Secretary Walk
] er said that thirty had been complete
/ ly closed at one time or another DUR
/ ing the strike and that others were
partially closed. OF the thirty which
had been closed, he declared. twelve
were now in operation to some de-
gree.

NINETY-THREE LOSE LIVES
In FLORIDA DUE TO AUTO
ACCIDENTS, CENSUS SAY

Jacksonville, March 10.-Ninety-
three persons lost their lives in Flor
ida as result of auto accidents dur
ing 1921 according to the Bureau of
Vital Statistics of the Board of
Health. Dr. Stewart G. Thompson
director of the bureau, who has just
concluded the work of compiling the
mortality table for the year declares
the figures would indicate that the
drivers of motor vehicles in Florida
are becoming more careful inasmuch
as the 1921 total fatalities was less
than the total for 1920 In the latter
year the deaths of 107 persons were
attributed to automobiles.
The bureau in commenting on the
totals for the two years, declares that
an increase rather than a decrease
might have been expected because of
the great increase in the number of
autos in the state during the year
and the increased mileage of paved
highways, which is an incentive to
the greater use of cars.
A publication issued recently by the
Metropolitan Life Insurance Com
pany, DR.. Thompson stated, indicat
ed q marked increase in the auto ia
during 1921 and he believes that
when definite statistics for the coun-
try are in it will be shown that the
Florida record for the year was re-
markable when the population of the
state and the number of cars is taken
into consideration.

NATION WIDE
COAL MINERS
STRIKE SOON

Indianapolis. Ind, March 1O.-Hope
OF a nationwide coal strike being
averted by the government appeal
for the operators and miners meet
ing in a wage conference seemed to
have vanished today among officials
of the United Mine Workers of Amer
ica on account of the continued re-
fusal of some operators to meet with
the miners to negotiate an interstate
wage agreement.
Union officials, however, refralned
from any announcement on their fu-
ture plans, but it was indicated that
the policy committee might be called
into session Eefore April l to deal
with all questions relating to the
nrospective strike. The personnel OF
the committee is very complete Dy
various union districts authorizing
their officers to become members OF
the committee. In addition the COM
mittee includes members OF the m
ternational officials of the executive
board which is now in session mere.
The union officials were optlmlstic
that public opinion would De WI
them in the controversy with the
mine owners, and were hopeful that
operators refusal of the government
appeal would be accepted as a deli
ant attitude on the part of the op-
orators.
President Lewis and other admin
istration forces opposing the slng.e
state agreement, however, were con-
fident that they had majority With
in the committee.

CRISIS
OVER POLITICS
DOWN IN INDIA

Londcn, March 1O.--(By the Asso-
ciated Press. )-RemOval of Lord
Reading as vice roy OF India, it is he
lieved in some quarters, will be tho
denouement to the publication of the
Indian governments note. There is
nothing tangible on which to base this
elief. but it is not improbable as o
sequel to the virtual dismissal Of Ed
win +. Montague as secretary for In
dia. &
The probable effect in India of Mr..
Montagues resignation is the subject
Of much curiosity and there are some
misgivings lest the removal of the
champion CT Indian political reform
have reperision there.
Equally momentous from the DEM
ccratic political point of view is the
effect that the whole affair may have
on the fortunes of the government,
especially as to the position of Prime
Minister Lloyd George. Some believe
the chances that the premier will
make good his threatened resignation
have been considerably increased,
and that if he also takes the view
that American abstention from the
Genoa conference lessons the prospect
of success there, the country may
soon learn of his definite arrange
ment. 1t is still unknown whether he
intends to begin his holiday today,
but in view of the threatened outlook
in the engineering and shipbuilding
trades it is thought likely the evil
genius which prevented his attending
the Washington conference will again
upset his arrangements.
The successor to Secretary Mon
tague must be appointed soon in view
of the dangerous situation in India,
but the post is difficult to fill. The
opinion in the lobbies over night was
that Winston Spencer Churchill, who
was first mentioned as likely to be
appointed is, too intimately concern
ed in the Irish settlement to allow his
removal from his present office as
secretary of the colonies.
Talk is mostly centering about the
Duke of Devonshire, former governor
general of Canada, although other
names are mentioned. The Duke is
conservative. and should he be
chosen it would make the third re.
Placement of a liberal minister by a
conservative within ten days. This
would give the cabinet an emphati-
cally conservative complexion, which
would become still more pronounced
if the rank and file of that party
brings about the retirement Of H. A.
L. Fisher as minister of education and
the appointment of conservative in
his place, for which there is now
some agitation.

MORE CREDIT FOR OUR
FARMERS, SAYS SILVER

Washington March 10.-Legislation
to afford long term credits for farm
ers was advocated today by Gray Sill
yer, representative of the American
Farm Bureau Federation, before SEN
ate banking committee considering
the Lenroot-Anderson bills having the
same objective in view.
Take the toll gates off the financial
road which the farmer has to travel" ;"
suggested Mr. Silver, declaring that
agriculture was entitled to necessary
credit facilities on even terms with
other basic industries.
Mr.. Silver contended that growing
crops, livestock and matured crops in
bonded warehouses were the simplest
collateral for agricultural loans and
moreover were safe" collateral. He
supported the Lenroot-Anderson bill,
which provides for loans to farmers up
to three years. time, on warehouse re-
ceipts.
