POINT TO FACT OF
HALF MILLION IDLE

WASHINGTON. June 15.-President
Harding was asked today to take
steps TO end the coal strike in n Joint
appeal presented to him by the Com
mission on the Church and Social
Service OF the Federal Council OF
Churches, with which are affiliated 80
great Protestant communions. the De-
partment of Social Action OF the Ma
tional Catholic Welfare Council and
the Social Justice Commission of the
Central Conference OF American
Rallis. This is the first time. as far
vas is known, that these representa-
tive organizations of Protostants, Ro-
man Catholics and Jews have taken
Joint action in an industrial matter.
The Churches in their appeal asked
The President
To call national coal confer
ence;
To get the facts of the coal in
dustry through a government in
vestigation;
Not to wait until the suffering
women and children of the mining
camps has become a national cal
amity, and
To end the coal strike now.
Points In Appeal
The statement expresses gratiflca-
ton that the press, as whole, has
been successful in recording the facts
in the strike. The appeal OF the
churches in part is as. .follows
ITO the President OF the United
States:
I'VE desire to express TO you, on
behalf of the three great religious or
ganiZations that we represent, our
conviction that tho time has arrived
when our government should act to
bring about a conference in tn bitu-f
minous coal industry to end the pres
ent strike. We believe that the ma
jority of the people of this country
are unwilling TO have it's vitality i'm
portant industries subject to econom-
ic combat as means of settling dis
putes.
Whenever either disputant in
controversy declines to employ the
methods of conference and arbitra-
. tion, IL becomes proper for the gov
ernment to intervene. II is inconceiv-
able that public action should wait
until the sufferings of women and
children in mining towns should have
reached the proportions of a national
calamity.

Mr.. Hichenss play must be vastly
more interesting to any country in which
there is an established church. Clergy
men take on a sanctity there which
makes their little weaknesses as they
were displayed last night In Damascus
possibly more piquant. But in any other
world that expects them to act like
others they are no more interesting as
sinners than the rest of mankind.
Yet the topic has always been fa-
vorite one with the British playwright
Henry Arthur Jones loved Michael and
His Lost Angel" better than any of his
other plays. Even the Magdalen for
day when she is by way of alluring the
clergy profoundly intrigues the play
wright and at times the theatergoers of
England. 1t must be said that ",The
Voice of the Mnaret' has at least one
interesting act. Once the bad tempered
husband Is on the scene the dramatic
pulse is quickened
Miss Lohrs keenly intelligent acting,
although it is rather too des titute of
tenderness and never subtle in its
methods, il one except her scene at the
table between her husband and her
lover, made the audience glad to well
come the new talent. Then her control

a mere layman could be sure OF. where

the four acts passed In deserted tenn

New York. There was considerable
theological discussion In these acts,
which might have been enlightcning, but
wasn't.
The Mr.. Faust OF the tilie was a

Greenwich Village. Like the FaNst OF

forget that the world Is too much with
him. But he is a philosophical Mephls-

become Mr.. Fuast's eternal slave If he
fails to cure him of his dyspepsia OF
the soul, Satan demands in return for
his triumph simply that the young New

Taking Mr.. Faust to the Indian temple
he shows him the cold calm Of Nirvana

youth spurns this, though his friend and
