After all, was the woman fighting
for the soul of her son? This is my
second count in my charge Of immor-
ality against the play. On creating
the actions of his characters an au-
thor is very far from free. These ac-
tions must be bound by various fidel-
tiles not easily to be broken. Ger
tainly the actions of character should
not be forced by the dominant neces-
stiles of another character for SYM
pathy or for central place in the ac-
tion. MuriePs confessing Of relations
with a lover, at the climax of the
play, is dramatically effective. 1t
makes the play in the sense of popu-
lar shock. But it is immoral in that
it is unjust to the wife. In the first
place, l don't believe her confession.
1t sounds like an authors trick, a
trick played in order to keep the
mother predominant. But even if the
confession is true there is much, very
much, to be said in behalf of Muriel.
In view OF all that has gone before
it is immoral to expel her into outer
darkness with all the imputations
against her. The author himself had
done too much for her case thus to
dismiss her on the weight of her con-
fession, which was itself tragic in
dictment of the victorious mother.
Whatever may have been the sins of
her daughter-in-law, the fact remains
that Jenny Wells was a pathological
old crosspatch who kept every one
around her on pins and needles. There
was no moral justification for the au-

Romance Claims Every Age for Its
Ospn

Dear Sir: While "The Romantic Age"
is essentially gossamer-like and fan
ciful in it's fabric, there seems to me
to be vein of thoughtful philosophy
under the whole play that was missed
by many of the spectators and critics.
To my mind Milne does not switch from
phantasy to matter of fact in the
last act, but to pull together the threads
he has woven in the other two acts--the
threads of his philosophy that romance
is just as vivid to-day as ever it was
and that enchanted forests and the blue
and gold of chivalry are only the SYM
bols of the real romance that is in all
our hearts and our everyday lives if
we have eyes to see it.

pinch Of the coal shortage and
predictions We're made to-day by
men familiar with the situation
that a genuine coal famine will
be upon Chicago within thirty
days.
Cities and towns down state are
in worse condition. In several of
them factories are closing and au-

cause there is no coal to keep the
plants operating.
Meanwhile prices are jumping.
Buyers of large quantities say
they are now paying $11.65 and

In small quantities the price has
jumped from $5.25 to $15.25 and

Won't Consider Proposal That

WILKES-BARRE, Pa, July "a
United action on the part of mayors
Of anthracite cities to end the hard
coal strike are doomed to failure be-
fore they get rightly under way.
Thomas Kennedy, president of District
Z, spokesman for the anthracite strik-
ers, made this plain to-day when he
declared that the miners would not &C.
cept plan Of general arbitration and
did not arbitrate wages from the old
scale upward.
This statement of Kennedy came as
q complete surprise for the mayors,
whose plans had been approved by
President Harding. They believed they
were on the right track to industrial
peace. Kennedy said: "If it is the
plan of the different mayors to name a
commission of five to arbitrate general
conditions it is nothing more than the
Harding plan in new form. That we
cannot accept, for we will not go into
arbitration that does not call for arbi-
tration upward of the old wage scale.
We will meet with the mayors and hear
their suggestions, but if they invite us
into general arbitration we cannot ac-
cept it,"
The rejection of the original Hard
ing plan for arbitration was construed
as indication Of the miners policy not
to adjust the anthracite situation until
the clouds have been rolled away in the
bituminous region.

B. & D. Officials Confer

BALTIMORE, July 24.-Both the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad executives
and the striking repairmen made it
clear to-day that they hope much will
result from the conference which is
to take place tomorrow in Vice-Presi-
dent C. w. Galloway's Office in the
Baltimore & Ohio Central Building.
Both sides are cautious in discuss
ing whether +"n conference will settle
the strike. 1T is expected the con-
ference will continue for several days.
Vice President Galloway was asked
what he expected to result from the
meeting
at is obvious that cannot say what
will result from it before it is held"
he said.
as there any reason why the Bal
timore & Ohio cannot settle its diff
fcrences with its men independent of
what the other roads may do?" Mr..
Galloway was asked.
81 came to discuss that" he an
swered.
That he believes a separate settle
ment possible is proved by the state
ment he made last week that he be-
lieved the Baltimore & Ohio and it's
men could settle their differences if
they met in conference.
The vote on the question of a rail-
way clerks strike for the 10000
brotherhood members Of the Balti-
more & Ohio is so close that the last
ballots received will decide it. For
that reason no final figures were given
out to-day.
The strike vote is being taken as
result of Railway Labor Board
order reducing wages three and four
cents an hour.
Jacob NJ. Moses, counsel for the Fed
Grated Shop Crafts of Baltimore. sent
a telegram to President Harding re-
questing that he call conference to
be attended by the Railroad Labor
Board, railroad executives and rep
resentatives Of the Federation of
Labor's railway employees depart

INDIANAPOLIS, July Ex-Governor
McCrey to-day received from John
Hessfer, president of District II, United
Mine Workers of America, second
refusal to permit the miners scale
committee to meet the scale commit
tee of the Indiana Bituminous Coal
Operators Association in a conference
tomorrow in the Governors office to
discuss the strike situation. Mr.. Hess
Ter reiterated that union officials
would be glad to meet the Governor
separately to explain their stand. The
Governor then arranged for separate
conferences. He will meet the miners
committee at $3.50 q. m. tomorrow and
later the operators committee.
The Executive said ne was perplexed
by the refusal because Hessler, in his
telegram, attributed the failure of
operators and miners to agree to the
operators refusal to meet them. "The
people of Indiana are not so much con-
cerned over the points at issue be-
tween the contending factions as they
are to know that coal is forthcoming"
said the Governor "The people have
3 right to believe that they have rights
which should be considered as well as
those who are responsible for the
present situation. They cannot under
stand why upward of 100000 people
should be insonvenienced and threat
ened with starvation and serious dis
comfort while the contenders are
quarreling over some technical point
as to whether the differences should
be settled by an interstate conference
or conference between Indiana oper-
stors and Indiana miners"

United States Coal Purchases
Cause Prices TO Rise in Wales
Americans Said to Have Contracted for Entire
Output for Month Ahead; Doubtful if British
Unions Will Refuse to Mine for Export Here

CARDIFF, Wales, July 24.--There
was decided advance in coal prices
here to-day on the American demand.
Welsh coal, recently selling at twenty
four shillings a ton for export, Is now
twenty-seven shillings, and business is
more active than for many months
past The leading companies are
booked up until the end of August and
are refusing to accept more orders.
American purchasers seem to have
cleared the Welsh market for fully a
month ahead, and it is believed here
that America is ready to take 2,000,-
900 tons monthly if the strike con-
tinues.

will give way on the question OF senior

vided there seems no other way OF
ending the strike. One prominent Of
fetal said that, much as the roads dis
liked to do this, there was too much
at stake for them to hold out indefi-
nitely on the point. This was not the
view taken by some members of the In
terstate Commerce Committee, who
thought the executives would hold out
indefinitely. There is good reason for
the belief that the President is strong

Of $4,000 Quitting
Association Upholds Terms
of Agreement; Heads Of

Meeting last night at the Hotel Nc
Alpin, $50 members of the Cloak, Suit

Association discussed the agreement
with the international Ladies' Garment
Workers Union, of which organization
$4,000 members lay off work this morn

was brought before the association so
details could be explained. George

and Max Lachman, vice president, COM
mented in detail on the agreement after
it had been read to the members. The
meeting was confidential, and every
member was obliged to identify him
self before entering thte room.
In no way would the meeting Of the
manufacturers interfere with the ar
rangements made for the general stop
page of work to-day, said an official of
the international union last night. The
workers will quit on schedule this
morning, and will be sent back as soon

In order TO accomplish the registra-
ton with all possible speed the trade
has been divided into three divisions
A, B and c. The first group comprises
the best shops, the second group shops
in which there have been controversies.
and the third group comprises the $50

workers in Glass A will return to work
first, the B shop workers will follow.
but it is expected that it will take a
considerable time to settle the shops
in the third group.

Four States Make Plans
To Resume Operations
Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma,
Arkansas Operators Vqice
ApprorQI of Harding's Plan
Special Dispatch to The Tribune

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, July 24.-Early
resumption OF mine operations in Mis-
souri,, Kansas, Oklahoma and Arkansas
was seen in action taken to-day by the
Southwestern Coal Operators Associa-
ton to put in effect the program of
President Harding for revival of the
industry. After the Presidents pro-
gram was approved by the association
committees were appointed to cooper
ate with the Governors of the four
states in executing it.
The operators also voted to "call
the hand" of John l.. Lewis, president
of the international Mine Workers Of
America, regarding another joint wage
conference between operators and
miners. A letter will be sent to Mr..
Lewis, asking him to declare himself
for or against such a conference.
The letter is just formal mailing
of President Lews's falsehood that
the coal operators have refused to
meet his men for negotiation" H. NJ.
Taylor, president of the operators as
ISOLATION, said. "Everywhere, except
ing in western Pennsylvania, the oper-
ators have been trying to meet him
for MONTHS
Members of the association regard
the provisions of the Presidents pro.
posalss as being "ample and sufficient
to bring about a peaceful and orderly
settlement of the strike"
Iowa coal operators also are included
IN the associations membership. A
state meeting in Des Moines prevented
the members from attending the con-
ference. They are reported by Mr..
Taylor as being in accord with the ac-
tion taken by the association.
DES MONIES, Iowa, July 24.-Ac-
ceptance in principle of President
Harding's proposal that mine owners
go home and resume the mining of
coal" was the single conclusive step
taken by the coal operators associa-
ton at a closed meeting to-day.
Fear that the employment of the
small amount of non-union mining
labor available in Iowa would fail in
effect to restore flow of coal, but
might also create lasting and damag-
ing breach between employers and en-
ployees, was reflected by the operators.
They will meet again tomorrow.
