PLAYGROUND
HAS OUTING
Twenty-Five Under Miss
Sullivan Make Trip
Need New Apparatus to Make install
latiOn More Valuable to
Public-"COme and See"

A delegation consisting of twenty
five boys and girls from the Friends
Fairgrounds on Decoration Day stole
an afternoon from the regularities OF
playground life and made a pilgrim
age into the ''untracked" wilderness
near Addison and enjoyed an after
noon of baseball, dodgeball and pic
nicing. Miss Louise Sullivan, teach
er at the Fairgrounds, was IN charge
of the expedition.
The kiddies all report a most en-
ioyable time and Miss Sullivan is Just
'tickled to death" with the way her
charges carried out the days pro-
gram and says that she will be will
ling to take them out some more if
they will promise to behave as they
did this time.
The journey out was made in the
bus and commenced about 2:30 and
the return trip was made partly on
foot and in the automobile Of pas
Ser-by who picked up the whole out
fit.
From now on throughout the sum-
mer the playground hours will be
from 11:45 until 7. and the mother
with small children is invited to
make use of this method of taking
care of the children while she is en-
gagged in dispatching the many duties
that fall to the lot of mother.
Several new appliances could be
used to a great advantage in this
work Miss Sullivan says. Some more
swings for the larger children are
nearly an absolute necessity and
tables to be used in the kindergar-
ten classes would be a great addition
to the present equipment The foun-
tain the association is planning will
also greatly add to the, attractive
ness of this beginning in playground
work of the city.
"Let the children call to see us
is all the association and the teacher
ask.

AGREE TOLIMIT
PRICE OF SOFT
COAL At Mines
Prices Range From S2.20 in
Alabama to $3.50 in
w. Va.
SEPARATE PLEDGES
Figures of Garfield Are Used as
Bases With Adjustments TO Meet
Cost Changes.

Washington, June 1.-Secretary
Hoover's conference yesterday with
the coal operators now producing, in
tended to set up limits to mounting
prices at the mines, yielded immediate
and definite results as to large areas
of the non-union fields, which are pro-
ducing virtually all the coal being tax
en- from the ground.
These agreements were reached:
For the Pocahontas, New River.
Tug River and Winding Gulf
fields in Virginia, price of $3.50
at the mine.
For the Harlan, Hazard and
Southern Appalachian fields in
Kentucky and Tennessee, $3.50 at
the mine.
For Alabama fields. the maxi
mum price from 1920 to $3.50.
1t is expected that agreements will
be reached on fair prices in other dis
tricts today. Committees from the
several districts are sitting in Wash
ingtOn, and will confer with Secretary
Hoover so soon as they nave their con-
clusions formulated. The evidence is
that in most cases the fair prices
agreed on for the districts will approx
innate those stated above.
Those prices hover around the Gar
field prices fixed by the Fuel Admins
tration during the war. In the West
Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee
fields they are somewhat higher. In
the Alabama fields they are lower. The
Garfield prices for the West Virginia
fields varied from $3.50 to S3, with
export and bunker coal at S3S5 to
$4.35 ton. In the Kentucky and Ten.
nessee fields the Garfield prices were
SO to S3.25. In the Alabama fields
the price agreed upon is 25 cents q
ton below the Garfield prices.

Churchill Explains Attitude of Cab
met Says Republican--Free State
Agreement Strikes at Pact.

London, June Great Britain
will tolerate no Republic in Ireland,
and if the terms of the Anglo-Irish
treaty are not carried out by the
Irish, the British Government will
resume her liberty to act in taking
back the power conferred on the Pro-
visional Government and in reoccu-
pying the territory evacuated, it was
declared in the House of Commons
yesterday by Winston Churchill, the
Colonial Secretary.
Mr.. Churchill made this declara-
tion in his promised statement to
the House of Commons on the Irish
situation. He drew a gloomy picture
of the state in which Ireland finds
herself today. While dealing SYM
pathetically with the Provisional
Governments plight and detailing at
length its reasons, as conveyed to
him, for entering into the recent
agreement with Eamonn de Valera,
the Republican leader, he vigorously
deprecated the pact as striking di-
rectly at the treaty. which, he de-
clared would be broken if the four
Republicans who are to be taken
into the Irish Government following
the forthcoming elections refused to
sign the declaration or adherence to
the treaty.
Later on in that debate, in which
the Ulster group assailed the Gov
ernment's policy, Mr.. Churchill frank
ly admitted that British troops were
being held in Dublin as a preliminary
step to military operations if these
became necessary.

HEADS TO MEET
IN CINCINNATI
Conference of Executives OF

IMPORTANT MATTERS
Will Take up Questions Ahecung

ers to Attend.

Cincinnati, June 1.-Telegrams ask
inq the grand chiefs of the l6 rail-
road brotherhoods and executives OF
other union organizations to meet IN
Cincinnati next week to consider
matters affecting the common well
fare of 100000 railroad workers
were sent out yesterday, it was an
nounced by Edward II. Fitzgerald,
grand president of the Brotherhood
of Railway Clerks, Freight Handlers
and Station and Express Employees,
The brotherhood chiefs are asked
if next Tuesday will be an accepta-
bile date for the conference. Mr..
Fitzgerald said that it was at first
planned to hold the meeting in CHI
cago Friday. kilograms were eX-
changed with various brotherhood
and union leaders. Mr.. Fitzgerald
said, but announcement as to the
final decision will not be made until
today. However, he said that in all
probability the meeting will be held
in Cincinnati Tuesday.
According to Mr.. Fitzgerald some
40 brotherhood. union and labor eX-
ecutives are expected to take part III
the conference. at will be the first
gathering of its kind ever held in
thu history of organized labor" MIR.
Fitzgerald said. He stated that the
object of the conference was to dis
cuss matters vital to the common
welfare of all railroad workers
1t is exected that a course of ac-
ton with regard to reductions in
wages of railroad workers recently
made and contemplated by the Uni.
ted States Railroad Labor Board will
be decided on. but that is a matter
that will be developed at the meet
ing. it was said.
It is mere than likely that action
decided on by the railway chiefs will
he presented to the convention. II is
understood that the change to Gin
cinnati from Chicago, where the
meeting was first scheduled to be
held. was due to the fact that
number of leaders were unable to
get to Chicago in time for the con-
ference Friday. and also that the
chiefs would be in Cincinnati the
following week for the federation
convention.
