Sale of Boys and
Girls Denounced
as Abominable
fRx Associated Pressl

London, March 15-The sale OF
boys and girls at Hong Kong has been
denounced as "an abominable scandal
in British possession" at a meeting
of the Anti-Slavery Aborigines Pro-
lection Society here.
st. Loe Strachey, editor of the
Spectator, wrote that if the facts
were as represented the vilest form
of slavery in existence when young
people were deliberately sold and sub
jected to the cruell lust and greed of
their purchasers.
A resolution was passed declaring
that continuance of the system amoun-
ted to the connivance of slavery un-
der the British flag.
1t was estimated at the meeting
that those held in bondage under this
system numbered $4,000.
A score of societies were represent
ed at the conference which was held
to determine what steps should be ta-
ken to stop the sale of children.
Viscoutess Gladstone who presided
declared that the system ought to be
abolished. She said she did not think
that any British man or woman could
have believed it possible that any
where under the British flag children
four years of age and upward could
have been openly sold and handed ov-
er as chattels to their purchasers to
become drudges or victims of prosti-
tuition.
She said, however, that the matter
was not so simple as it looked be-
cause "the adoption" system was not
wrong thing in itself.
Charles Roberts, formerly Under
Secretary for India and President of
the Anti-Slavery Society, said it was
an established fact that Chinese girls
and boys were sold and bought in
Hong Kong at from $40 t SIS per
year of age and it was a significant
fact that higher prices were obtaina-
BILE when girls were sold for purposes
oof prostitution. Yet they could moi
get the Colonial Office to admit that
the system was one of slavery. II
was enough for him that it constitut'
ed traffic in human beings which
ought to be put down by law.

Demands of Miners to Be
Presented to the
Operators
MAY AVOID A STRIKE
Negotiations May Con
tinue for Several
Weeks
(By Associated Press)

New York, March 15.-Anthracite
miners and operators were prepared
today to begin negotiations for a new
wage agreement to take the place of
the two years contract which expires
at the end of this month.
The nineteen demands of the min
ers, formulated at their convention
in Shamokin, Pa, in January, and
ratified by the international conven-
tion at Indianapolis last month, are
to be formally presented to the coal
operators and explained in detail by
officers of the union. The operators
are expected to Immediately take
them under consideration and make
statement of their position on Fri
day
The miners are asking for 20 per
cent increase on contract rates,
among other things, while the mine
owners are on record as favoring a
decrease below the present working
basis.
1t is not expected that an agree
ment will be reached before the end
of the month, and in that event the
scale committee of the hard coal
workers is under instructions of the
Shamokin convention to order a sus.
pension of mining until satisfacto-
ry agreement is in sight. A referen-
dunn on the question of suspension
was not taken in the anthracite
fields, the action of the convention
having expressed the wishes of the
men. The national policy committee
of the mine workers has the power
to set aside a suspension, if it sees
fit, but according to union leaders
here. such action is not likely. 1t is
the opinion of miners and many OF
the operators that suspension II
the hard coal fields of Pennsylvania
is certain. If it comes, it is expected
there will be a complete cessation OF
production, as on two former occa'
sions when wage negotiations drag
ged over many weeks.

for 3-Day Session
CBy Associated Press)

West Palm Beach, March 15.--Bon
soir, Madamoiselle; Buddy, howdy!
Florida's doughboys came to West
J Palm Beach today to sit on the top
of the world. And doughboyc is
meant to include them all-those of
the o. D. and navy blue fame.
From the lowly tents of the train
ing camps and the lousy billets of
France, of some three years ago, they
came here to meet within the pre-
tentious walls of the Hotel Royal
Poinciana, the last word in exclu-
| siveness.
1t was the annual convention of
the Florida department of the
American Legion.
Posters displayed throughout the
state for the past several weeks have
shown Mr.. Buck and his friend Mr..
Garb, with suitcases in hand, headed
this way, and other indications have
pointed to record breaking attend
ance for the three-day meeting. Some
struggled in ahead of time last night,
the advance was expected to be in
full force today and such notables as
Hanford MacNider, their national
Ipeace-time commander, and Sergeant
Woodfill, who was finally found to
be the greatest hero of them all, are
expected tomorrow. Governor Cary
A. Hardee as we'll as other state
government officials are also expect
| ed.
The executive committee of the
legion's department met yesterday
when the final arrangements for the
convention were completed.
Coincident with the three-day
meeting of the veterans is the annual
sun dance, which promises program
of entertainment that should please
even a top sergeant.
The legion parade will be held Fri
day afternoon when the former SOL
diers will fall in line, although they
swore they would never do it again.
Business sessions and entertainment
features call for most of the three
days stay here, but in between times
opportunity will be had for discus
sion of the yet unsettled question,

London, March 15-With all sectors

RIGA cleared of rebels except certain
portions of the johannesburg, or CEN
trail region of the Rand, the struggle
apparently has entered it's final phase.
Jeppestown in the east end of johann

Artillery, tanks and airplanes were
used in the capture of Fordsburg from
the revolutionists. They disregarded
notices dropped from airplanes Civ
ing them until IL o'clock in the morn
ing to surrender, but capitulated after
rs minutes of bombardment.
Another success was achieved in
the east Rand where extensive pro-
prietary mines were recovered and
1853 revolutionists captured. Their
leaders, however, escaped.

Leaders Expect Bill Be
Called Up Next
Monday
ONLY ONE CHANGE.
Predicted That Present
Bill Will Pass
Easily
tBy Associated Press)

Washington, March 15.-With only
a single change from the form in
which it was approved last week by
the ways and means committee ma
jority, the compromise soldiers bo-
nus bill was ready today for formal
presentation to the house. 1t was
approved late yesterday at meet
ing of the entire committee, the vote
being 19 to 5, with three democrats
and two republicans opposing the
measure.
The time at which the bill will be
called up will not be determined,
Chairman Fordney said, until the re-
turn here Monday of Speaker Gillett,
who is a guest of President Harding
in Florida. Republican leaders have
discussed plan to have the meas
ure taken up next Monday under d
suspension Of the rules, with possi-
bly, ten hours of debate, but this plan
would be contingent upon the speak
er entertaining a motion for sus-
pension and passage of the bill. Dis
patches from Florida last night indi-
Gated that Mr.. Gillett might not con-
sent to consideration of the bill under
such a plan, as it would shut off all
amendments.
A two-thirds majority would be
necessary to pass the bill under
suspension of the rules, but propo-
nents still insist that despite contin-
ued opposition in and out of congress
the measure will get more than the
two-thirds majority.
There was continued speculation
today among house members as to
whether Speaker Gillett would bring
back to Washington any expression
of the views OF President Harding on
the bill with its bank loan certificate
plan. Chairman Fordney says he
does not expect the president to send
any message to him supplementing
the executives last letter in which
he suggested that the bonus be paid
by sales tax or the legislation post
poned.
The only change made in the bill
by the entire committee before it
was ordered out would permit banks
authorized to lend money to veterans
on the adjusted service certificates to
rediscount them for other banks. The
securities, however, would not be re-
discountable by the twelve regional
federal reserve banks.
