FINED FOR BEATING WIFE.
John wojcik Of Brattleboro Claims He
Himself Frequently Beaten.

Brattleboro, Dec. ia case of do
nestle infelicity was aired in the mti'
nicipal court Saturday when John
Woicik, AS, an employee Of the Central
Vermont Railway company at the coal
shutes, was brought before Judge
Frank ID. f. Stowe and charged with
breach Of the peace, to which he plead
ed guilty. He was given q sentence OF
not less than so days and not more
than 40 days at hard labor in the
county Jail at Newfane.
There has been considerable trouble
in the Wojcik family for several weeks.
Mr. and Mrs. Wojcik live with several
children in the north Watercure build
ing at l07 Elliot street, and Saturday
morning the head of the family and his
spouse became involved in one Of the
series of brawls which have occurred
there recently. In the melee which en-
sued, Mrs. Wojcik received the worst OF
the encounter when her husband gave
her a severe blow which blackened and
completely closed her left eye and cut
the skin underneath.
Neighbors who heard the row mott
fled Sheriff Frank A. Wellman, who
went to the house and arrested Wojcik.
Several of the neighbors also stated
that Wojcik had several times threat
ened his wife.
In court, it developed that WojciS
was accustomed to pay the rent, which
amounts to IS monthly, but contribut-
ed little else toward the support Of the
large family, the burden falling on the
wife. 1t was said by neighbors that
Wojcik would give his wife so cents in
the morning for the purchase OF food
for the entire family and then would
make trouble later when he found
there was not sufficient food for full
course meal.
The case was prosecuted by Grand
Juror Paul A. Chase in the absence Of
States Attorney Harold F.. Whitney.
Attorney Chase went to the Wojcik |
house Saturday morning for the pur
pose Of having Mrs. Wojcik appear in
court against her husband, but he
found her in bed suffering from her
bruises and in a high state of nervous
ness resulting from the fray.
Wojcik, in his own defense, said the
had hit him 25 times to his
once. Recently, he said Mrs. Wojcik
hit him over the left hand with stick
that caused swelling which remained
for several days.

be a sawmill, chair factory and a

after a while they used all the timber

some of these cities a few questions.

men and women for years, and yet
they turn around and call me unpro-

Firm Against
FL Per Cent Wage Cut

The proposal by the anthracite OPP
orators to cut the wages of miners
21 per cent in the hard coal fields was
taken under consideration by the mine
workers scale committee yesterday in
meeting in the Continental Hotel.
While it was declared that the COM
mittee members stood unanimously for
rejection, it was decided to postpone
the formulation of formal reply to
the operators until a second meeting,
which will be held on Tuesday. -
According to numerous messages re-
ceived from points throughout the
anthracite region by Philip Murray,
vice president of the United Mine
Workers, the rank and file of the
miners are backing their leaders
strongly, not only for a refusal of the
operators proposition but for a full
acceptance of the nineteen union de-
mands, chief Of which is for wage
increase.
A denial of statements made in New
York by Miss Elizabeth Gilman and
the Rev. Mercer C. Johnston, of Balti-
more, that the miners of the New River
fields of West Virginia are facing
starvation because of their part in the
coal strike was the basis Of a tele-
gram sent to R. NJ. Bryan, eastern
manager of the "Black Diamond by
George Wolfe, secretary of the Wind
ing Gulf Operators Association He de-
scribed the miners as enjoying better
living conditions than city workers.

President Will Fight
Profiteering in. Coal
Moral Suasion Will Be Applied
as Law Gives Little Sup
MORT to Official Action

From The Tribune's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, May 1s.-The Ad
ministration is determined to prevent
profiteering in the price of coal by
bringing to bear all the influence the
government commands, it was learned
to-day. The President canvassed the
coal situation with the members of the
Cabinet at the meeting to-day and Sec
rotary of Commerce Hoover reported
on the amount of coal available at the
surface of the mines. 1t was pointed
out that the law gives little actual sup
port to the government in its attempt
to Illustrate profiteering.
Moral suasion will be applied to the
utmost to prevent INSCRIPTIONS coal
dealers from taking advantage of the
lack of coal production. No immediate
crisis is in view, according to Secretary
of Commerce Hoover and indications
are that there will not be until late
in June at least. The supply of coal
on hand is beginning to diminish con-
siderably and the officials of the Ad-
ministration felt it better to sound a
warning now than to. wait until the
situation becomes acute.

Many who sought to halt the flying
trolley were quick enough to see that
1t was empty and forgot their anger in
their establishment, but those who
failed to note that it was proceeding
unattended cursed the stupidity of the
motorman and threw in q curse or two
Tor the trolley company and for a GER
tam red-thatched gentleman for whom
the one-man trolleys were named.
The runaway car did not cause quite
as much consternation however, anon
those who had tried to spring upon II
from street corners as it did among
those who attempted to cross in front
OF 1t. Persons on foot and in vehicles
alike narrowly escaped being struck.
no. 302 had travelled more than three
miles at high speed when it shot past
the engine house of Fire Company 1877
at Dongan Hills. Fireman Joseph Foley
was in the fire house waiting for some
thing to happen.
He was suddenly confronted by ex-
cited persons, who ran in from Rich
mond Road and who told him that
something had happened. Foley started
out IN pursuit of the car, and although
IT was moving fast Foley moved faster.
FINALLY, after nearly quarter of n
mile chase, he painted up alongside Of
it, took flying leap and flung himse
through the half opened door at the
front. Car 302 got no further.
Foley coaxed it back to the firehouse,
with crowd yelling encouragement
from the street, and in front of the
tirehouse it remained until another car
from the Concord barn crcpt up later
in the evening and hauled 3O2 back to
the barn and to the humdrum existence
OF hauling passengers for hire.

Craig.
"Yes," continued the Mayor. "the
unifcation scheme proposed by the
Transit Commission will relieve the
traction crowd of paying the city SILL
100000 in taxes. This would practical
ly amount to a one cent increase in
fare. If they can get rid Of the SILL

cent fare; but they are not going to
get rid of that s11 100000 and let the
taxpayers of the city pay it,"
Comptroller Craig explained that the
s11 100000 due the city was enough
to pay the interest on $250,O0o,O00 for
new subway construction. The mem
bers of the board chuckled when the
Comptroller said that "there might be
some obstruction of the reelection of
these people who go around talking
this way"

Dalton Jury Is Discharged

CHICAGO, May 19.-The jury in the
second trial of Willie Dalton, boy bank
clerk who stole s772,O00 worth of Lib
erty bonds, was discharged to-day after
it had failed to agree. The vote stood
il to l for conviction, it was an
nounced.
The Juror who held out for acquittal
did so on the ground that Dalton's act
was not premeditated, while the others
held it was, the foreman said.
Dalton sat with his head in his hands
while members of the jury talked with
newspaper men. Asked what he thought
about it, he said: =,
~ guess it's all right-but they don't
seem to want to give me another
chance" -,
"Dalton's case attracted nation-w wide
attention, not only because of his age,
seventeen, and the sum he took, but be-
cause of similar case short time
before when Judge Kenesaw Nj. Lands
said that bank officials were partly to
blame for robberies by bank clerks be-
cause they surrounded them with mil,
lions of dollars and paid them small
ca larjas
