UNION OFFICIALS
LOOK FOR BOOST
BUT No STRIKES
Mine Workers Will Not Coun-
tenanCe Decrease In
Warges, Leader SAYS
ny THOMAS L. STOKES

WASHINGTON, May 23.-Early
negotiations for new wage scales in
the anthracite and bituminous fields,
to forestall possibility OF strikes, will
be pressed by tho United States coal
commission, when John L. Lewis,
president OF the United Mine Work
ers of America, appears beoore 1t
in the next few days to talk over
conditions.
On the eve of Lewis meeting with
the commission, Ellis Searles, editor
Of the Mine workers journal and
spok esman for miners. announced
this week that representatives of
the mine workers will go into the
coming wage conferences set against
any reduction from the present
scales.
Lewis will talk with union repre-
sentatives from the various fields,
in order to get their general views
as basis for his conferences with
account of his lengthy tour abroad.
Lewis has been out of touch with
the situation here.
Likely To Ask Boosts.
Whether mines in the anthracite
and bituminous fields are going to
demand wage raises Searles could
not say. 1t has been generally sup
posed that increases would be asked
on account of wage increases in
nearly all other lines of industry
in the last few months But no re-
Searles emphatically stated.
The wage agreement in the an
thracite fields expires Aug. 81. The
bituminous contract lasts until Aprn
1. The coal commission is anxious
to have negotiations begin far in
advance, to prevent as far as pos
sible such deadlocks as resulted in
the strikes last year. The commits
sion has already urged upon the an
tfracite operators the necessity of
an early wage conference.
VIII Formulate Demands.
Tho anthracite miners will formu-
late their demands at their general
convention In Pennsylvania The
program OF the bituminous workers
will probably be adopted early next
year. or perhaps the last of this
year.
Rumors have been circulated that
another coal strike was in prospect.
Searles said he does not look for
one, but on the other hand is hope
full OF an agreement in both the an
thracite and bituminous fields.

creases which have been made since

vance in tho steel industry which
has since been followed by another
increase.
No Cut Expected
with these increases before
them, the operators would hardly at
tempt to cut tho wages of mine
workers." he said.

stalling long deadlock at the COM

NEW YORK, May ga very Sc
we're looking man with n very severe
looking rifle walked down the dock
at the little fishing village OF Mays
head, N. c., one summer evening
about Is years ago and advised the
helmsman of shabby old schooner
to sheer off and keep right on going.
Being no man to start trouble with
rifle in the other fellows hands,
the helmsman put 'er hard over.
Thus Nagshead, N. c., lost her only
chjance to see the same James Bar
ton who sat in the stars dressing
room of the Aston theatre on Broad
gave details about himself.
James Barton Is the comedian who
was discovered by accidentSthat sui
try summer night in 1919 during the
great war of the theatre when Ed
Wynn failed to show up for the ben
eft program of the Actors Equity
association. The announcer walked
out and made ten-minute apology
for Mr.. Wynn's sudden illness and
said they were sending out James
Barton to do his routine" And
while this Barton probably wouldn't
be very funny, wouldn't the audience

of Labor and and give him a hand,

AS the manager stepped off, James
Barton came on and made himself
famous. When the great theatrical
war was over the Shuberts had him
and they've had him ever since.
Gradually he has been advancing un-
til this week brought him to town
again as the star of Dew Drop In"
a blackface comedian with a pair of
blackface feet, a shiftless dance and
a perfect blackface dialect.
Barton's feet are as eloquent as
Chaplin's and when he works in pan
tomime without his burnt cork he is

a all like him.
That time whom he stepped into
Ed Wynn's great gap in the Equity
program and found 1t tight fit,
Barton was q burlesque comedian.
The sudden hoist from burlesQue
to Broadway musical comedy. II
that's hoist, naturally caused him
to be marked as that fellow who
jumped from burlesque."
James Barton's mother and father
were show folks" and had at ono
time a song and dance number In
Bob Fitzsimmons' troupe, in which
did some monkey business. When
he was still youngter he and q man
named Thompson met in Baltimore,

props, recruited q dozen jobless ac-
tors OF tho last professional rank and

themselves.
Well. Nagshead. N. c., had one
chance to see Jim Barton for the

or edible merchandise, and through
the craftsmanship of a mean looking
rifle turned him away. Just for that

BRITISH EGYPTIAN
POLICY IS SCORED.
BY HOUSE MEMBER
100 Commoners DisavoW
English Administration In
Land Of Nile

LONDON. May 26.-(By Associated
Press.)-No fewer than 100 members
of the House of Commons signed the
present British policy in Egypt and
appealing to the government TO find
new measures that will restore order
and confidence in that country.
This declaration characterizes Lord
Allenby's administration in Egypt as
an utter failure. There is no consti-
tuition in Egypt today; there Is only
martial law" 1t says. There is pro-
found unrest, likely from time to time
to break into violence; there is an ad-
ditional burden for the British tax
payer, interruption of commerce. and
a growing mistrust and dislike of the
policy of this country throughout the
Near East
The members Of the House declare
that there are only two possible poll
cies for the British government to
follow. One is to revoke the declara-
ton of independence approved last
year by the vote of the House Of Com
mons; to make Egypt part of the
British empire; to suppress by mill
tary force any resistance: and to
hold the Egyptian people in subJec-
ton until such time as they acquiesce
in the position sufficiently to have
some measure of self government.
ITO this course" they add, I'VE, and,
We believe. most of our fellow coun-
trymen. are unalterably opposed 1t
might be possible. though 1t would be
difficult and costly. but II would be
a breach of solemn pledge and a. re-
versal Of British tradition unparal-
leled in our history"
The subscribers to the statement
say that the other course "is to face
certain facts. the ignoring OF which
has beenresponsible for the failure Of
Lord Allenby The first of these facts
is that the Egyptian people are not
only set in their determination to OBJ
tain independence. but are also so
far educated in politics as to reject a
nominal independence accompanied
by permanent military occupation
and the control OF its principal de-
partmnets OF government by the NOM
inees of a foreign power"
