100000 in Miners Strike
Seriously Affects Trade
BY FRANK ID. McLAIN.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

PHILADELPHIA. June - The
movement of miscellaneous freight
over the Pennsylvania and Reading
systems for the first week of June
has been far heavier than for the
corresponding period of 1921. but the
total car loadingS show Il decrease.
This is due to the falling off in an
thracite coal shipments because of
the prolonged strike. No inConVen
fence from lack Of fuel in this section
has been reported. but the fact that
100000 men in the anthracite fields
have been out of work now for ten
weeks is seriously affecting business
in eastern Pennsylvania. as it influ
cnceS the buying of goods to meet
the necessities of over 100000 per-
sons.
The continuation of building opera
tions throughout this district is un-
ahated. Rows of dwellings, are going
up all over this city and two new
office buildings. to cost S5.000,0 900, will
soon be under way. The construction
of frame dwellings in the south Jer-
Sey resorts along the coast is being
rushed at top speed to catch up with
the demand for cottages This is
PARTICULARLY true of Ocean City. Mem
hers of the building trades are we'll
employed and there is an extensive
demand for building materials.
Many of the smaller business places
and neighborhood shops. closed since
the beginning of the year. when de-
preston caused failures. are being
rcOpened. in many cases with for
eign"rS replacing the original occu-
pants.

CHICAGO. June 1.-ThouSandS OF
merchants from the middle west have
descended on Chicago in the last
three days seeking textile goods
among the big jobbing houses. Clear
ance sales have been advertised for
this week and even the radio has
ieen used to spread the news far and
wide. but jobbers were hardly pre-
pared for the magnitude of the re-
Sponse. Similar sales had been held
earlier in the spring. and while they
produced considerable business it was
as nothing compared with the buying
of the last two days. The most en-
courag aging feature of this business
has been that the out-of-town mer-
chants seem to have abandoned thelf
former hand to- mouth policy and have
begun to place orders right and left TO
flll up their empty shelves.
Conservative jobbcrs declare these
are the most successful sales of the
kind they have ever seen. There has
been little shopping around and no
quibRing about prices. Merchants
have come into the market knowing
what they wanted and the price they
were willing to pay and have bought
promptly where the price was right.
The biggest movement has been III
dUmestics and piece goods. but gar
ment houses have sold large guam
titles of goods. particularly wash
dresses.
Department stores and retailers
have been almost as active as the
jobbing houses. Warm weather may
have Influenced this but prosperity is
surely in the air in the middle west
and general optimism is growing. en-

THE clothes? Well, on the whole

successful fashion show as
usual. Mrs. Sylvanus Stokes. jr,
wore some striking gowns-one a
sleeveless black crepe, with a great
scarf Of black and white monkey
fur, another OF thin lavendar
crepe, with a cloak of a deeper
shade trimmed with bands of gray
squirrel and a small round purple
and lavender hat. Miss Margaret

a big black hat. Mrs. Harold

chiffon gown one day, with a big
henna hat; and / noticed Mrs.

cock blue ribbon. But for the
most part the women wore plain
sport suits or dark crepe or satin
gowns. 1t being a bit too chilly for
the regulation summer finery o:
which one usually sees so much
during horse show week.
THE first two days OF the horse
show were complicated by balls
and plays and picnics and AL
manner Of festivities, but the last
week was kept reasonably clear.
And 1t was a relief not to have to
race from one thing to anothe-
without pausing to draw breath.
There was, of course, the usual
grist Of official or semi.offi2ial
dinners quite unrelated to horse
show week. with occasional
parties for horse show visitors
thrown in for good measure. But.
had 1t not been for the activities
over at Arlington Park and the
golf tournament at Chevy Chase,
which opened on Thursday, the
meeting of the United States
Chamber Of Commerce, with its at
tendant festivities, the conference
OF the American Federation Of
Arts-and the circus-this might
have been classed as a compare
lively dull week.
Mrs. Harding went to the cir
Gus with Mrs. Edward Beale
Mclean and the two Mclean
children, who are old enough for
such thrills, the First Lady ap-
parently enjoying herself as
much as the kiddies. Indeed.
circus parties were very much
the thing last week and were
exceedingly catholic in their
make up, neither age nor dig
nifty nor station having much
weight against the lure OF the
big top.

nE weather always plays
an important part in the
success or failure of our an
nual horse show-the spring
meet of the National Capital
Horse Show Association, to
give its full and most imposing
title-and this time the weather
really did US very well. To be
sure, it rained the last day and
only the real sportsmen and
sportswomen turned out. But
even at that the grandstand
was well filled-a chummy sort
of a gathering it was, TOO.
For the rest the show, which
began on May IL and carried
over into the week just past,
rated four golden days, and
may be written down as one of
the most successful in the his
tory of the association.
THERE was some. regret felt
that the President and Mrs.
Harding coult not be present on
the opening day-they were out OF
town. But. it's an Ill wind that
blows nobody good and their pres
ence on the fourth day gave a
flip OF interest to the show just
when enthusiasm might otherwise
have begun to wane. Ineed, Gu
riously enough. the opening day.
when everybody" usually turns
out to see and to be seen, was the
least interesting day Of all. both
from the point of view of the en-
tries and Of the spectators, and
the show was so well stage man.
aged that importance was cumula-
tive and each day was a little bit
better than the one before.
The President and Mrs. Hard
ing certainly have a happy fac
ulty for being in the right place
at the right time. Not only were
they present to see the Presidents
entry, Harbell, carry off blue rib
bon, but President Harding went
down into the ring to congratulate
Lieut.. T. H. McCreery, who rode
his horse to victory, and to receive
the ribbon and the piece of plate
which went with 1t from his hands.
OF course, there was a certain
degree of pomp and ceremony about
the advent of the Presidential party,
with Rear Admiral Cary T. Gray
son, president of the horse show
association, and Col. Robert NJ.
Thompson escorting them to their
box and the strains Of THE Star
Spangled Banner" marking their
arrival. But there was nothing
pompous about the hearty greet.
ing President Harding extended to
all and sundry who paused beside
his box and there were certainly
no ceremony about the way he
gathered Secretary Weeks small
granddaughter, a little slip of a
thing in a pink smock, onto his
knee or petted the other young
sters who were brought to his box
to be presented.
1t did seem too bad that the only
serious accident which marred the
show should take place while the
President and Mrs. Harding were
present-a spill in the chariot race
which resulted in a piling up Of
men and horses which sent ones
heart into ones mouth. Happily
the drivers escaped unhurt, but tho
fact that It was necessary to shoot
one of the horses effectually spoiled
the day for many of the spectators
and made some Of us rejoice that
we had slipped away early.
SECRETARY WEEKS was
constant in his attendance
at the show, Mrs. Weeks
acting as hostess for him once
or twice and his daughter. Mrs.
John Washington Davidge, on
other occasions. General Per-

when he was out of town, and
