posed by the owners is calculated to

s1oo.ooo,ooo Coal Profits.

Following the settlement of the
street car strike the most critical la
Dor situation is the dispute over coal
miners wages which have been no
toriously low since the one-sided set
tlement of 1921 which provided a
minimum wage only 20 per cent above
the pre-war level with the workers
sharing profits after the owners had
secured so-called standard profits. AS
result of this agreement the own
ers' profits for 1923 are estimated at
more than $100,000,000 or nearly three
times the pre-war figure. But miners
wages in the great fields Of Soutl4
Wales, Lancashire and Scotland, have
fiuctuated between 40 per cent and so
per cent above the pre-war level at a
time when the cost of living was up
approximately so per cent.
Stinqy Offer From Bosses.
This agreement expired April IL
and the national conference Of miners
has urged the Labor government to
pass the miners minimum wage bill
to avoid a strike. This bill proposes
minimum wage for all coal work
ers on the basis of the 1914 wage
plus an amount equal to the increas-
ed cost of living. There appears lit
tie expectation of its passage.
The situation during the first week
of April is described by Butler in his
cable as follows: Last weeks ma
tional wage negotiations brought an
other final offer from the coal own
ers conceding further 21s per cent,
making their offer 3Z1S per cent in
stead of the present 20 per cent as
the minimum standard or basic rate
above the 1914 level. Other previous
concessions included the ratio of
standard profits equivalent to Is per
cent of standard wages, the miners
demand being Is per cent while the
present basis is IL per cent; the shar-
ing Of the surplus 81 per cent to wag-
es and 13 per cent to profit; the
agreement that no adult shall receive
less per diem than so per cent above
the lowest 1914 day wage standard
and the existing minimum subsist-
ence wage to be increased one-eighth.
South Wales coal owners on April 4
announced further local concessions
by removing certain restrictions to
the earnings of unmarried men and
absentees."

AN HISTORICAL MYSTERY
is CLEARED UP AT KEITHS

Why did George Washington cut

Why did George do that little
trick? Well. the man with the three
initials as a name declares that
George saw into the future and knew
that in 1924 we wouldn't have any
use for the cherry.
D. D. II. brings a new brand of
comedy to the variety stage. He has
an individual way about him. He has
new jokes and that is a real some
thing these days when jokes with
boards on are taken to the barber.

This man is a positive delight. Some

and then the New York critics will de

The name draw on the bill is Miss
Patricola. Those who like their jazz
songs of the day done in a noisy way
with gestures will discover that this
woman fills the bill. There was no
doubt that she was favorite at

overdrawn burlesque. but II is human

This Temptations show Is strong
on comedy. Much more so than the
average burlesque show. Miss Lillian
f eir has a number Of jazz songs. Miss
Georgia Emmett gets a rather bad
start in her specially. but she snaps
out Of it and PUTS over her material
with ease.
This show is rather spotty, as II re-
lies upon the two comedians to carry
the show When they are present, it
is easy to say that all is well. Chorus

STATE UNABLE TO
PURCHASE PARKS
Estates on Northern Lakes
Proposed.

In the support of Indiana citizens
lies present hope of creating new
State parks, according to Richard
Lieber, director Of the State conserva-
ton department.
Word has been received that the
Failing estate of 600 acres on Lake
James, Steuben County, is being pro-
posed Jas 81 State park.
Because of general financial condi-
tions and the States desire for
economy, there is little possibility now
for the creation of new parks out of
the States money" is Iieber's
opinion.
The beautiful 120-acre estate Of
Gene Stratton Porter, novelist, on Syl-
van Lake, near Rome City, has been
offered for sale to the State, Lieber
said. Mrs. Porter has moved her resi-

this week is a better show than the
average on the Mutual circuit. The
settings and costumes are very good
and the principals are on a whole
adequate for this type of show, Harry
Myers and Hap F'reyer are the
comedians. With some newer and
trifie cleaner material I believe these
boys could be really funny. AS it is
they seem TO be struggling along in
the accepted burlesque rut. Out or
the ordinary numbers in this show
are an eccentric dance by Doris
Stone and Helen Davis, and wax

'SPANIARD' OUT OF DATE
Old Time Swindler Uses Mailing List
Several Years Old.

The gentleman overseas who has
revived the old Spanish prisoner"
swindle recently should revise his
mailing list. said Orville P. Humes,
213O Barrett Ave, today.
The swindler writes as if he were
a prisoner in a Spanish Jail and that
he will split equally with his
benefactor if the latter will send him
enough money upon which to get out
of prison so he can go to some
secreted treasure.
Humes said the "Spapiard' ad-
dressed the letter to him at 1902 n.
Illinois St, where he operated a drug
store several years ago.
