!, ganization of n~on-union fields and

sci on strike and legal activities

field, separated by mountains which
force a Circuituous journey Charles
Town has become virtually union
headquarters for West Virginia. So

OF responsibility for tho armed
march last autumn that the few
who arc not under indictment have
! come here for conferences with
President John L. Lewis. OF the
United Mine Workers OF America
and the state officers, who are
here.
President Lewis arrived today to
hold conferences with c. Frank
! Keeney, president OF district M.
II and the others here for trial.

ITS q QUEER WORLD!

WASHINGTON, June 10. While looking for the Corcoran Gallery of Fine Arts a woman stranger, on her first visit to the Capital, wandered into the Executive offices of the White House, about a block from the art gal lery, and, unnoticed, began tour of the corridors to inspect the paintings.
 Becoming nonplussed when her travels failed to reveal any paintings, she inquired of a passing visitor: Where are the pictures?" Misunder- standing her query, the guard replied: "They are all out at lunch"
 Fearing she had drifted into the wrong place, perhaps an anteroom of the hospital for the mentally defi- cient she hastily left

DRESSMAKERS PEEVED BECAUSE WOMEN ARE DISCARDING CORSETS

LONDON, June 10.-English dress makers are in revolt against the Iaxity in the way in which women wear-or do not wear-corsets.
 The almost tropical weather in Eng land has caused many women to dis card as much clothing as possible, in- tcluding their corsets, and take to the elastic belt.
 Their dressmakers have roundly con- demned their consequent uncontrolled and over-developed figures, and we'll known couturiers, including those who made creations for the wedding of Princess Mary, state that practically all their customers have now returned to the light and flexible corset.
 The elastic belt, they consider, loses it's strength after week or two, fails to maintain the graceful outline of the female form, and is considered injurious from medical point of view.
 The new waist, however, will not be in the same position; it is to be low down on the figure. Notwithstand. ing this it is to be more defined than that of last year.

GOVT. MONEY MAKER IS
 CHAMPION PEN PUSHER

WASHINGTON, June 10. - The champion pen-pusher of America is Frank White, United States Treasurer
 When White gets through signing his signature several thousand times he winds up the day, eats and turns into "the hay"
 But he is philosophic. If he were not he would lose more of the hair on a well-modeled dome that already is sparse in hirsuite adornment.
 A meter attached to Whites pen probably would show that he holds the worlds daily record for letter and receipt signatures.
 The United States Treasury under the law must sign personally vast amount of correspondence. including papers of various kinds bearing upon huge amounts of currency and se- curities that reach the United States Treasury each day from banks all over the United States.
 Wagon loads of money are driven up to the Treasury building each day with their precious cargoes from all corners of the country. A great deal of it comes in for redemption or re- placement for newer currency.
 It is the job of Treasurer White to account for each and every dollar of this currency. It amounts to many millions daily. He is heavily bonded The physical exertion of affixing his signature to so many documents leaves White at the end of an average day fairly well exhausted, but he grins and tells everybody he "should worry" For, of all things, White is a philosopher, and he wields wicked pen, as they say in curb talk, and scatters the most influential ink in America.

RUSSIAN NAVY
 IS CAUSE FOR
 MUCHCONCERN

LONDON, June 10.-A Germanized Russian navy is one of the many Flu ropean spectres that is worrying those who are thinking about the next war. Soviet Russia has ships, arsenals and navy yards, and all of this unham- pered by any restrictions laid down by the Washington conference.
 Germany has a trained naval per sonnel, capable of administering the Russian navy with an efficiency and technique which it has never known
 The Russian fleet has been rapidly deteriorating since 1917, but it is re- ported to be in such condition that it might be rapidly made ready for &C., tive service. German naval artisans are regarded as thoroughly competent to do this work.
 In 1917 there was a considerable number of ships of all types under construction in Russia, but these have never been completed. With the aid of German brains these vessels might now be completed, and while the Rus sian fleet would not be considered as most modern, it would be far from ob- solete and would offer formidable op- ponent to any power upon the seas. The following table shows the pres
 
 which is divided between the Baltic and Black Seas, with small forces in the White Sea and on the Caspian: ughts-Eight, four with damaged engines.
 Battle cruisers Four, all incom- pleted.
 Battle cruisers -. Folr, all incom- plete.
 Cruisers-Eight one damaged.
 Light cruisers-Nine, eight incom- plete.
 Destroyers-Oneh hundred and eight, twenty incomplete.
 Submarines-For three.
 Attempt is now being made by the Soviet authorities to restore the dis cipline of the fleet and to put it on the same basis which prevailed before the revolution. Officers now have separate quarters and respect for rank is being demanded.
 ic four commands - Baltic, Black Sea, White Sea and Caspian. Each divi- sion is under separate command and there is a political commissar in charge of education attached to every unit.
 There is a general awakening of in- terest in naval affairs on the part of the Russians, according to well.found- ed reports here, and this new inter- est is attended by indications that the Soviet authorities are attempting to create anew the Russian naval strength. A combination of Russian naval re- sources and German skill might pro- duce menace to the presen. interna- tional naval balance, arranged at the Washington conference. British naval intelligence authorities are keeping watchful eye upon Rus sia's naval activities and when Rus sia finally comes into the community of nations it is certain that she will be asked to make some pledges with regard to her future naval activities. |

Because John Brenstrom, who re-
sides at the. Moline Y. M. C. A,
had a stronger love for hooch than
he did for his wife and five chill
dren, he faces a term in the peni
tentiary on a charge Of operating
a confidence game. He was bound
over to the grand jury by Magis-
trate Frank Gustafson this morn
ing and, being unable to furnish
bond. was committed to Jail.
Brenstrom is accused Of obtain
ing $40 for hooch by raising sew
eral small checks. These checks,
it was found, had been cashed in
hooch parlors, where Brenstrom is
said to have been consistent
hooch customer.
Brenstrom had q chance to make
good the loss several days ago,
when Donald Mckee, paymaster for
the Central Engineering company,
questioned Brenstrom regarding
the raising OF checks that had been
issued by the company. Brenstrom
told Mckee that he was not guilty.
Brenstrom lost his second chance
to make good when Magistrate
Gustafson and the states attorney
learned that he was wife deserter.
He is said to have admitted to
States Attorney Ben Bell that the
only support he extended his wife
and five children in the last four
months was to pay orrepairs to a
pair of shoes worn by one Of his
children, adding that he had not
been asked for other aid.
