"The pool is selling itself. There S
been no word of criticism FROM amy
one-everyone is praising the scheme
and most kind and considerate. OF
course the management is happy"
Last night at $3.50 the pool was
filled with many new faces in the
throng. The beautiful white sand
around the pool was covered with
little tets making frog houses, roll
ing and tumbling, enjoying the cool
night air. Their elders sat about in
chairs that almost surrounded the
pool, watching the bathers. The new
chute was as popular as the high div
ing tower. Men We'd with babies

MARQUIS OF HUNTLY TO
MARRY AMERICAN WIDOW

LONDON, June "a. = The an
nouncement that the Marquis of
Huntly was going to marry an Amer
lean widow has caused the limelight
of publicity to shine far more bright
ly upon him than if his castle had
been burned down by Sim Feiners.
Several Irish peers have had that dis
tinction thrust upon them of late,
but they have not, in consequence,
been written up anything like as ex-
tensively as has the septugenarian
marquis. He is rs years old, and is
described as the handsomest man of
of the reerage and the most courtly
hammered. He celebrated his golden
wedding in 1919. His first wife died
a few months later. There were no
children by that marriage.

TRY PLANOU'T
In COAL Mines
Garment Trades Referee Believes
Cleveland Plan Offers Solu-
ton of Strike Situation
By MAJ. SAMUEL ]. ROSENSOHN
Member First Beard of Referees in
Garment Workers Dispute, and
One of the Originators of "The
Cleveland Plan"

CLEVELAND, June pa fair
wage, according to the American
standard of living, is proper charge
upon Industry. In a seasonal indus
try, like coal mining or the produc-
tion of garments, neither the hourly
rate nor the weekly wage can furnish
proper criterion of what is a fair
wage. Such rates often bear no re-
lation whatever to the annual earn
ings of the workers.
A plan has been worked out sue
cessfully in the women's garment in
dustry in Cleveland which might
solve many of the problems which
have led to the present coal strike.
Some such plan, with provision
for an unemployment fund and a
concerted effort on the part of both
labor and capital to eliminate the
seasonal nature of the industry, may
have to be worked out for the coal
industry.
Raise May Be Cut.
Experience in Cleveland shows
that annual earnings are not in
creased by an increase in the hourly
or weekly rate, but, on the contrary,
such increase may operate to in
crease unemployment and thus de-
crease earnings.
Since the manufacturers are in
control of industry, theirs is the re-
sponsibility for eliminating unem-
ployment The Cleveland nanufac-
turers were the first to recognize
that it is their duty to try to secure
such continuity of employment as
will insure fair annual earnings to
their workers.
To further this effort, the arbi-
traitors in this industry recently ad-
justed the wage rates on a sliding
scale.
Those manufacturers guarantee
ing ii weeks. of employment per
year were permitted to pay a lower
hourly and weekly rate than those
not affording such a guaranty.
Must Pay.
To make good the guaranty where
less than Al weeks work is actually
given, the manufacturer is required
to pay the worker at a minimum
rate for every week Of unemployed
time, up to al weeks. Payment
is made out of a fund amounting to
certain per cent of the actual pay
roll set aside each week for the nur-
pose. This is the unemployment in
surance fund.
By this arrangement an induce
ment is afforded to the manufactur-
ers to furnish continuous employ
ment. The workers also prefer to
obtain Al weeks of actual work since
the payment in case Of unemploy-
ment is less than they would other
wise earn.
