SUPPORT OF SEAMEN

CALLED A FAIRY TALE

Andrew Furuseth. president of
the International Seamen's Union,
today characterized as q fairy tale
reports that seamen were prepar-
ing for strike in sympathy with
union coal miners. He denied that
the seamen's union had SO per cent
of the crswS ou some vessels and
100 per cent of the crews of Ship
ping Board vessels.

percentage of membership on

TROUBLE Is UNEXPECTED.
Hard-Coal Miners in Pennsylvania
Consider Strike Vacation.

WILKES BARRE, Pa. March 81
Approximately $4,000 mine workers
in the anthracite fields will lay down
their tools at the end of today's shift.
The anthracite suspension will be
100 per cent effective. according to
miners and operators. and means that
fifty-eight operating companies with
ESQ collieries will be thrown into
will be about 3OS.0O0 tons Of hard
coal and the daily loss in wages at
present rates will be about 100000,
directly affecting about 10000 families
in the territory between Forest city
on the north and the Schuylkill re-
gions on the south.
With the suspension order comes
into effect a plan of the hard coal
operators for the dismantling OF their
mines. Starting at once, mine. mules.
many of which have not seen daylight
for years, are being brought to the
surface and turned loose in large
fields already inelosed.
There Is a desire on the part OF
some companies, it is said, to make
needed repairs The suspension or
der, however, makes no provision for
work of this sort, and 1t is not likely
that 1t will be, attempted unless
there is an understanding on this
point.
The plans of the union are that
no pickets will be. placed. Assur-
ances that the operators will not at
tempt to work their mines have
prompted this course.
As the suspension goes into effect
there is good feeling among the
miners They regard the period of
tdleness more in the nature of va
cation. They anticipate an idle
period of from four to six weeks. at
the end of which time the common
belief is a new agreement will be
negotiated and the anthracite indus
try again set humming.
Miners stopped their free spending
weeks ago and there has been a
gradual falling of In business.
Eastertide, however, has been of help
to the merchants. but as soon as this
is over the business interests look

of livelihood. as is possible with in
vestments in any other property.
That automatically excludes from the
hope of home ownership a large class
Of citizens in Washington, thereby
tending to perpetuate q large class
of tenants, who. but for the Ball rent
act. would in the light of the past
history of home ownership in Wash
ington eventually own homes.
Chased Raverite Investment.
Home ownership in Washington in
the past has been the favorite invest
ment of a large class OF persons Of
small or moderate means, employed
in the government or in kindred ac-
tivities. The investment has been
made commonly through the medium
of building and loan associations by
which the home maker, the woman,
has had an important role. Home
ownership, in fact. is the elect gain
full pursuit of the home maker. one
which logically provides plan
whereby women may proftably be
diverted from the less natural occu-
patton of wage earning in competi-
tion with men in industry and in
business, one which, moreover. by
reason Of the understanding Co
operation of man and wife and chill
dren. thus made active and possible,
tends to cement the family tie,
stabilize the family, eliminate divorce.
Home ownership effective in Wash
ington before the application of the
Ball rent act, served also as kind
of insurance for the wife in case
of the death or disability of the hus-
band, when it was always possible
for the wife to compute income on
the home the same as on any other
under contract she was able to live
on a reduced scale, supported by the
income from the home that in old
age and misfortune proved to be the
treasure stere of her labor and self
denial. permitting her not to be a
burden on her children or upon the
community.
Commission to Decide.
At present the Rent Commission is
privileged to decide whether a mans
deman to enter under his own roof is
bona fide under the terms of the Ball
rent act, which proposes as its object
a single class Of citizens, tenants,
and on their behalf eliminates the
owners contract rights and limits
his occupancy of his home.
Further to discourage home own
ership. the Ball rent act has devel-
oped tenant psychology that in fact
establishes that the tenant can do
no wrong. Much evidence could be
produced on this point"

lay-off for Ruth was generally ap-
proved by the members of the team.
That Ruth had the sympathy of the
fans at Fridays game was evident
from the applause he received during
batting practice.
When Ruth returned to his hotel and
was advised of the decision of Presi-
dent Johnson, he was understood to
have expressed qualification that the
matter had been finally settled. He
would not comment on the matter.
President johnson gave his ruling
after considering the reports of the
umpires officiating at Thursdays
game at New York between New York
and Washington when Ruth disputed a
decision of Umpire Hildebrand and
later climbed into the stand after a
fan had made a raAark to which he
took exception.
President Johnson's finding auto
matically removes the ruling that Ruth
was ineligible to play, which was pro-
mulgated by the American league head
pending an investigation. 4

A state "Oil day" celebrating the an
niversary of the first commercial ship

suggested by Sam w. Teagarden in an

Mr.. Teagarden suggests that August

August 20, 1920, that the first ship
ment of three ears of crude oil was

also serve, he argues, as a meeting
time for the operators of the state to
determine pom a statewide organiza-
ton and define their stand on ques-
tons relating TO the industry.

both the idea for a special day and the

Some of these border waters, he
said, can be most easily reached
