British Troops
Delay Evacuation
Postponement of Plebiscite
On Free State Slows
Up Departure.

DUBLIN, Feb. 24.-Postponement
of the plebiscite on the Irish Free
State Is causing delay in the de-
parture of the British troops from
the island. 1t is not likely that
more than a few thousand crown
forces will leave until the
Irish have expressed themselves
on the proposed new form of gov
ernment, which will not be before
late in May. Failure of the Sim
Fein convention to indorse the
treaty Is looked upon in certain
British circles as seriously en-
dangering the pact.
While the great bulk of the
Irish will celebrate the day in
which the last British uniformed
unit leaves, certain communities
will see them go regretfully. The
evacuation already has raised an
economf problem in some locali-
ties long used to the training
areas These communities subsist
almose wholly through the sale of
supplies to the army and the
money the Pommies spent.
Members of the provisional gov
ernment already have spoken re-
garding the possibility of England
being asked to continue the train
ing troops in these areas.

CHICAGO. Feb. "a. - Ten tons

night, shattering glass for a radius
of more than five miles and caus-

of a million dollars.

north as Waukegan, fifty miles dis
tant and was especially severe In
the south part of Chicago. almost
twelve miles from the scene Of the
explosion.

stations were flooded with calls
from panic-stricken people who
thought their homes were bombed
Two Southwest Side banks lost

led to the earlier reports that they
had been dynamited.
One of the most remarkable fea-

such wide devastation is that. 50

Up to midnight the police were
able to locate but one casualty.

hurled against a wall with such
force that his arms were broken.

No explanation is forthcoming for
the explosion. There had been no
labor troubles at the Consumers
plant. In the immediate vicinity are
the stone quarries OF the Dolese and
Shepard Company, which has been
having labor troubles. Not far dis
tant is the gigantic plant of the

Election Prospect
Stirring Germany
Presidential Possibilities on
Many Tongues-Ebert
AS Possibility.

BERLIN. Feb. 2i-Political cir
cles and the Reichstag lobby are
buZZing with discussions as to who
will be the candidate in thc first
general election for President.
II is being taken for granted that
President Ebert will be nominated
by the Majority Socialists and prob
ably he will receive support from
the Left Wing factions.
From reliable sources it is
learned that the so-Called bourEc-
oise bloc. consisting OF the Center
parties, is sounding out the leading
politicians regarding Admiral
Scheer for the presidency. Admiral
Scheer occupies a unique position
because, although sharing with
Field Marshal Hindenburg the hon
or of being a leading war hero,
Hindenburg was closely allied with
the former Kaiser while Admiral
Scheer's record is not tarnished by
such contact. Field Marshal Hinden-
burg has been engaging in mon
archistic activities. whereas Ad-
miral Scheer. with the exception OF
few interviews and few
speeches on the naval warfare, has
kept out Of the limelight.

PRESIDENT aims
TO THWART STRIKE
OF COAL MINERS
Labor Secretary Directed
To Call Miners and
Operators Together.

President Harding h&s moved TO
ward of the threatened coal strike,
scheduled to start April !.
Taking the position that con-
tracts should be respected. he has
directed that Secretary of Labor
Davis ask miners and operators to
keep the faith" pledged in their
national agreement. effected 20 end
the 19l9-1920 mine strike. This pact
stipulates:
That before the termination of
the present wage agreement. March
81. the miners and operators agree
to confer together for formulation
Of new wage contract.
Up to the present time the oper-
atcrs have declined to enter into
the joint conference proposed some
time ago by President Lewis, OF the
miners.
In taking the initiative that the
operators were contract bound to
confer. the administration is ready
to suggest the following change in
the instructions given by the re-
cent miners convention to its
spokesmen:
That. instead OF dema nding a six
hour day and a five-day week. the
miners should seek provision for a
minimum of six hours work a day
as soon as Industrial conditions
will permit, and a minimum of five
days work a week.
Stipulated Minimum Needed.
It is pointed out by government
authorities that what the miners
need is a stipulated minimum OF
work more than a stipulated maxi
mum. Some officials believe this is
what the convention had in mind
when IL formulated its instructions
but, they add. the present wording
is such as to be contentious ard de-
structive, rather than constructive,
in working out an Industrial code.
The Presidents decision came
after a careful study Of the threat
involved in precipitatinG economic
chaos, not only through a shut
down in the mining industry. but
through the additional possibility
of a railway strike or hamperinE
of coal movements through oo-op-
GRAFTON between railroad workers
and miners.
1t came as a surprise. in view of
Secretary Hoover's recent announce
ment that a strike seemed inevita-
JIG anu appOdASN " Dt
nothing the government could do to
stop il. In addition there was the
Injunction of Judge Anderson at
indianapolis, provisions of which
appeared to make a conference ne
tween miners and operators to ef-
feet a new wage scale in contempt
of court.
Decision by DauEherty.
AS for the latter obstacle, the
President asked Attorney General
DauEherty to prepare an opinion
on the point. and Daugherty held
the Anderson decision would not
cover fulfllment of the terms II
the miners contract.
while the President has seemsi
by his decision to back up the
contentious of the miners that op-
orators should be made to abide by
their contract, there is no thougar
of compulsion in the administra-
tons course. The President merely
takes the position. which will ue
made clear to both sides. tEat .
contract was solennly entered .Hto,
by both and should be adhered tai
He sees no reason why the gov
ernment cannot at any time of
threatened strike ask the conflict
ing elements to get together ana
talk things over.
