PA|NLEVE FINANCE
BILL HOT[Y FOUGHT
Little Chance Seen of Plan
Passing Before End
of the Week.
By the Associated Press.

ny the Associated Press.
PARIS, November 9-The prospect
of the passing before the end of the
week of Premier Painleve's bill to
put Frances finances on a sound
roofing still appears remote. This
much progress has been made, how
ever: The finance committee of the
chamber of Deputies, which at first
would have none of it, after a full
, day of debate, which often was acri-
montouS, is prepared to consider it as
a basis for discussion.
NJ. Painleve having on his part eX-
pressed Willingness to accept any
modification that likely will be useful,
political circles are confident that
the government and the finance COM
1nittee will come to an agreement in
the near future. The principal ground
for adverse criticism from the left
block Is that the government plan
involves imitation, disguised but none
the less imitation, to the extent of
ten and a half billion-odd francs.
Fault also is found with the national
contribution provision. the ground
taken being that it is too sweeping.
and not sufficiently gradual. Further.
doubts are expressed as to the indie
pendence of the board of mana gers of
the sinking fund as the government
proposes to constitute it.
The Nationalist section of the oppo
Sition declares that NJ. Painleve's bill
would crush the middle classes out of
existence and kill French industry.
Meanwhile other plans are beginning
TO be put forward by various authori-
ties. In addition to several proposing
to solve the problem by various forms
of lotteries, Louis Loucheur has pro-
duced one based on the plan of the
Socialists. The principal features of
this are for consolidation of short
term treasury bonds and the redemp-
tion of the entire national debt in a
period of As years by a tax on all
forms of wealth.

SWISS DENIES FORECAST

GENEVA, November 9.-Dr. Hell

director Of the biological station at

stand why Herbert Janvrin Browne.
ocean meteorologist, of Washington,

out a Summer" and prove a menace

Mr.. Browne made his statement at

address before the twelfth annual
business conference. DIR. Cans in a
statement forwarded here from Lunz
says he does not know Mr.. Browne
and that he does not understand why
his name was attached to any such
prophecy.
DIR Cans expresses the belief that
as the worlds climate often has
changed, it will change in the fu-
ture. ''in other words, there is some
periodicity."

Browne is right in his forecast that
next year there will be no Summer.
He concurs with Mr. Browne that
there has been less solar activity
lately than unsual; that the radia-
ton from the sun therefore has been
decreasing, but he does not agree
with Mr.. Brownies assumption that
this phenomenon will bring about a
cold Summer.

paper somewhere in America does not
solemnly record the passing of the
last of the old-time tramp printers.
Some one is always trying to rob the
present of the picturesque in order to
reflect glamour on the past The fact
Is that more. travelling cards are being
issued to union printers today than
were issued at any time in the past.
The tramp printer of the old days
was highly useful as we'll as romantic.
He carried the Vinted word into the
dark places of Eae earth. He came
into contact With7the best minds of the
age and travel broadened his outlook
Unfortunately. his mode of life tended
to enlarge his imagination, and his
travelogues sometimes extended to
free-handed fiction. But he was a
genial, lovable type and practically
never vicious.
The travelling printer of today man.
ages things much better. He is sell
dom without money, and he usually
studies conditions of business before
motoring into new and untried fields.
His union card establishes his compe.
tenCy and he is assured of work as a
sub when he arrives in n union
town"
Mr.. Lynch was asked if he believed
the travelling propensity of printers
was good for them
No, not as a continuous perform
ance. Thrift and steadiness are yir
tues that outweigh all others a crafts
man may possess, but the exchange
of ideas on craft methods is undoubt
edly good for the trade"

FINDS BETTER REACTION
TO MUSIC IN GERMANY
American Violinist in Berlin Says
Applause Now Is More
Spontaneous.

By the Associated Press.
BERLIN, November 9.-Albert Spald-
ing, the American violinist, who Is
now giving his first concerts in Ber-
lin since 1912, has found that Berlin
postwar audiences are reacting more
spontaneously to music than did those
before the World War.
II explain this difference by the
fact that the German of today has
such serious economic and other prob
lens to worry him that he needs
something as an Offset" Mr.. Spalding
said to the correspondent. This es-
cape from the hideousness Of life he
finds in music, of which he always
has been fond, but which he loves
especially now. Before the war, when
everybody in Germany enjoyed an or
dered and well regulated life, applause
also moved along ordered and conven-
tional lines. Now the audiences break
into applause spontaneously and with
an almost continuous reaction
Mr.. Spalding this season has
achieved notable success in the
rendition of his own compositions
besides eliciting praise from the
critics for his masterful presentation

Non-Union Mine Working.
Pottsville is the only city in this

hituminouS coal, SO far as this writer
has been able to ascertain. This city,

anthracite mine now operating around
here. 1t Is owned by two brothers

ploys non-union labor and has been

ton from the union. It's CAPACITY.
however, is said to be only abou- 40
tons day and it's owners will not sell
the coal to any but those who drive
wagons up to the collieries to get It.
This is also the first city found in
the anthracite fields that is beginning
to complain of i'll effects from the
strike. All of the other places visited
seemed to be booming along at a fast
gait, but Pottsville depends entirely
upon coal for its living, and there are
evidences of distress among the bust
ness men. In fact, a league of bust
ness men has just been formed here
for the purpose OF endeavoring to get
both sides around the peace table, al
least.
There is a general idea here that the
miners are thoroughly tired not only
of this strike, but of all strikes. The
workers are said to have been content
with the wage scale and disinteresteC
in the check-off plan. If these two
things We're eliminated from the dis
pute there would be little else to argue
about, and Pottsville's business mer
are beginning to get busy on thai
point.
Little was found elsewhere, how
ever, to show that this view of the
situation is a true reflection of genera
conditions. Pottsville is small com
pared to the other anthracite centers
and everywhere else an atmosphere o.
determination to hold out exists, with
no indication Of surrender on either
side. Around the other greater cen
ters the miners seemed to have be
come too accustomed to their game o
