DE VALERA CAPTURED

De Valera, the man in Ireland who
was the leader of those who stood and
fought for absolute and complete free
dom of that country, some time ago
announced cessation of violence on
his part by disbursing his forces.
Probably he had given up hope OF sue
cess; possibly he saw beauty in the
land he loves as comparative quiet
pervaded it. 1t cannot be questioned
but that he held to his creed of "all
or none" Now he has been arrested
by the authorities who rule the coun-
try. He could not but have known that
his arrest would follow his public ap-
pearance Quite possibly those au-
tn orities would have preferred to have
him remain free were he to maintain
his silence. Possibly they did not
want to rouse again the feeling held
by the Republicans that even under
the Free State government the land
was not IN TACT free. But probably
such authorities felt that there was
no course open other than ar
resting him once he appeared, the
enemy of the government.
We, so far away, while losing none
Of our appreciation of the sentiment
seeking entire freedom. nevertheless
we have been happy in Ircland's peace
we who care for the welfare of the
people of that land. How
ever Huch we may long for ireland
to have everything her people deserve
and desire, We cannot fail to be glad
that once again she huns the old Irish
songs in peace and happiness.

him from across the water, bearing
only the address Chuck Connors, U.
s. A."
The story is apropos OF the plea
now being made for proper addresses
on letters and cards. Don't do what
the friend did who wrote to Chuck,
the King of Chinatown. Don't put
merely the name of the individual, or
your conception of the name as 1t
should be spelled. and nothing else
except the town or city in which he
lives. II he is barber, merchant
II you don't know his address. Put the
street, of course, even though you
don't know the number. Put whatever
information on the outside Of the en-
velope you think would help the pos
tai authorities find him. But of course
you should not ffse the envelope for
expressing your personal opinion of
the person, If that opinion is bad. If
the persons nickname happens to be
Sneak" and his honest-to-goodne
name Thief, it would be well to put
quotation marks about the Sneak"
thus indicating it was a nickname
rather than a characterization, and to
refrain from writing out merely |
Sneak Thief. That would not look |
well. The quotation marks also
might save you from a Islander suit.
The importance of this matter is
shown by the fact that the Dead Let
ter office handles 20,O0o,ooO pieces of
instructed mail annually. The ex-
pense to the country of keeping up
this department is tremendous. We're
everyone to be careful in directing
letters they would be doing practical
bit of saving of money for the coun-
try

GETTING AT FACTS

When facts come out the air clears
There seems to be at least the posi-
bility of agreement between anthra-
cite miners and operators in the mat
ter of the problem of the check off
merely because it is now known that
there were two sides to the matter. II
that it was entirely wrong to make
them, the operators, hold out OF en-
ployes pay enough money to pay said
employees dues to the union--to help
create a miners war fund" in their
words The operators were strong in
this and the people who knew nothing
about it, except the bald statement
check off, see the operators point.
Now comes the offer of the miners
that they will not insist that the oper-
ators hold out and pay their dues to
TIA uDiul IL lHt optTdbOIo Will HOt
hold out certain other amounts from
their pay. They object to the assump-
ton of authority by operators as tc
just what amounts should be held out,
and what should not. They will give
up their insistence on the check off"
as 1t is generally known, if the opera
tors will not hold out amounts from
their pay which. because of the oper-
ators' custom, become preferred pay
before the employe may have
his earnings available for his family
needs. The operators are reported to
have agreed to this arrangement,
though insisting that it will cause
some inconvenience to the miners and
that they had not considered
their holding out of these amounts as
grievances of the miners.

STRANGE MONSTER
DRIFTS IN FROM SEA
Weighs Half a Ton, 5 Feet Long,
4 Feet Deep and a Foot Across

Miami, Fla, Aug. ia strange
sea monster has drifted ashore on
Key Biscayne. few miles southeast
of Miami. Weighing about 1000
pounds and dead less than "a hours,
1t presents a sight never before seen
in these waters.
About eight feet long, 1t is four
feet in depth and only foot across.
It has head, If it can be called that,
shaped in semi-circle extending
from back to belly across the face.
Large eyes are but few inches from
a remarkably small mouth and in the
way of fins it has two small ones, but
a few inches long and shaped some
what like shark fins. A TAIL or rud-
der shaped fin is the only other. The
skin is similar to a sharks but not
so tough.
OF particular curiosity is the rudder
or tail fin which seems to be hinged
as a ships rudder. There is a joint
before this fin which permitted it to
swing back and FORTH used probably
to guide the fish. This fin or tail
gives the end of the fish the appear
ance of being cut off square with the
body.
Fishermen here have exhibited IN
usual interest and means are being
taken to classify the monster.

WORKERS IN DANGER.

1t is impossible to refrain from ex.
preston of sorrow for the tragedy
that has occurred In Wyoming where
the lives of many miners were lost
and where there is now such suffering
among those women and children
whom these men loved and who loved
them. Many times when people
are discussing the claims of various
classes of workers, there is forgotten
the fact that some work in constant
danger of death; some earn their
daily bread in jobs or positions which
bring no worry on this score. The
miners, themselves, for instance, do
not talk about the risks they take
but the death or injury of every one
of them should bring added consider
alton to their claims to just treatment.
There is no intention here to place
the blame for the last disaster on
any one persons shoulders-possibly
1T was unavoidable as mining is done
today There is merely the desire
to emphasize here the danger of
their work and their right to the
greatest of consideration. And, added
to this, one may express deep SYM
pathy for those who, still living,
suffer acutely from personal loss be-
cause of this disaster.

COAL PRODUCTION
is MORE CERTAIN
Partial Agreement Between
Miners and Operators Reached

BY The Associated Press.
/ New York, Aug. 16.-Prospects
were bright today for an ending of
all danger of a September suspension
of anthracite coal production.
| Officials Of the miners union and
Representatives of anthracite opera
tors who came last night to accept
ance of tentative agreements for re-
sumption of wage negotiations both
had early engagements with the u. S.
coal commission to discuss and ratify
the terms involved. Considerable dis
cussion, however, remained to clear
up the atmosphere, though the first
day of the federal body's direct in
Prevention in the situation threaten
ing the anthracite supply had almost
completely eliminated tho check off"
controversy which hitherto has block
ed attempts at agreement.
Road to Agreement.
The road to an agreement was left
open in union proposal to abandon
entirely the check OFF, demand pro-
vided operators would cease check
ing-off' mine payrolls the costs of
supplies, house rent and other items
furnished individual miners.
. John l.. Lewis, as president of the
United Mine Workers, presented the
proposition in writing to the commits
sion for conveyance to the operators
group which met the commission
separately later.
s. d. Warmer as chairman of the
committee of anthracite operators
late last night addressed letter to
the commission accepting the miners
proposal and suggesting that wage
negotiations could now be resumed.
The companies, which have so far re-
fused to CHECK off, and pay over to
the unions the union dues assessed
against their workers, the letter said,
would now cease checking off" mine
bills since the union representatives
it.
1t was the union offer and the OPP
orators response which the commits
sion had to take up today Mr.. Lewis
likewise, had a second proposal pend
ing by which the union agreed to |
continue negotiations and let the |
mines ruin in case the "check-of' was |
installed September /. This PROPOSE |
ton, however, the operators did not |
take up in the nights exchange OF |
and it was presumed |
that the negotiations would proceed |
on the alternative and tentatively ac-
cepted.

SOVIET SEIZURES
OF AMERICANssHIpS
Returning Trader Tells of Conditions
In Fur Trading Territory
y
OF Kamchatka.

Seattle, Wash, Aug. 10 Condi-
tons that led to a seizure of foul
American commercial vessels by
Siberian soviet authorities were dis
closed by L. Seidenberg, Seattle
trader, who has just returned from
Kamchatka.
The Hudson Bay Co. of London
has held since spring monopoly of
trading along the Siberian coast
from the southern end of Kamchatka
peninsula north, Mr.. Seidenberg said.
He added that the agreement of the
Hudson Bay Co. with the Soviet was
the largest transaction made in
Asiatic Russia in many years. The
Okhosk sea on the western side of
Kamchatka peninsula, remains open
to traders of all nations.
All furs must be sold to the Hud-
son Bay Co. in the region covered
by it's concessions. which includes the
rich Anadir district and part of the
Arctic coast of Siberia.
