The communication platoon of the

ried out a most interesting demon

brigade wire net was spread on the
rolling terrain south and west of the

received on the radio field station,
established some two miles from
camp, sent from the camp head

The brigade net covers three points

Guarantee Bonds
For French Labor

Paris, July 81 CAP by maiD-Fi-
nance Minister Caillauxs gold cou-
pom loan has made guarantees
against risks of loss through depre-
citation of the franc the question of
the day.
Labor agitators say that the work.
ingman is entitled to the same guar
antee as the investor and that wages
must be guaranteed in the same ra-
ito as interest on bonds. The move
ment has extended to Office employ
es, functionaries and state pension
ers. Its supporters find their argu-
ment in the governments loan pros
pectus and some apprehension might
be entertained as to the consequence
es If it were not for the reinsurance
furnished by bankers and financial
experts who believe the Minister Of
Finance has a safe margin in the
rate of guarantee of 95 francs to the
pound. They agree generally tlat
the franc ought not remain long be-
low that figure and that it may even
rise above it slightly il the gold
coupon loan turns out to be the sue
cess that 1t now promises.
With the floating loan reduced to
innocuous proportions Caillaux, they
predict will be able to put through
parliament at the next session the
new taxes with which he proposes
to provide sinking fund for debts,
then there will be no longer any rea-
son to apprehend disaster to the
franc.
1t is pointed out in reply to the
demands of labor that the working
man lis far better off generally than
the small bondholder. His wages as
compared with the prewar rates have
been quadrupled while office salaries,
government pay and pension rates
nave not been doubled on the aver
age. They are in paradise, it is re-
marked, as compared to the small
investor whose rate of interest on
prewar investments has remained
the same and whose capital has
dwlndled to half the original invest
ment. The latter has no way of in
creasing his income or of preventing
the scaling down of his capital, while
the laborer has amply succeeded in
solving the problem for himself, it
Is argued.

Hard Coal Miners
(Continued from Page One)

July 9Th. at the opening of negoti-
ations between the anthracite OPP
orators and mine workers at Allan
tic City.
On Aug the representative Of
the mine workers moved for an in
definite adjournment Of the nego-
tiations. On behalf Of the operators
the following questions were asked:
1-"Are we to understand that In
view of our opposition to an increase
of wages and the check off, you re-
fuse to continue negotiations?
I'm view of the differences of
opinions between US do you fatty
reject our proposal that the matters
in dispute be submitted to impartial
arbitration under conditions assur-
ing a fair republication to all par
ties concerned and work to contin-
ue after Sept. 1 at present wage
rates pending result OF such arbi-
tration?
1.-THE reply to the question was In
the affirmative"
"Mr. Lewis, the miners spokes-
man. stated that his answer to the
second question was contained in his
letter of Aug. to Mr.. Warmer.
1.-The letter of August 1st again re-
.jected arbitration. To this letter Mr..
Warriner replied on August 7th, say
ing in part with reference to the re-
lection Of arbitration:
"'You attack not merely a sugges-
tion applying to this case, you attack
principal that is universally approv-
ed by right-thinking men as the best
means yet devised to arrive at justice
between contending parties. The only
alternative is Industrial strife with it's
attendant waste and loss to the indus
try.
In spite Of the terms of your let
ter and the breaking off Of negotia-
tions. I am hopeful that means will
be found to compose the differences
between US and avoid a suspension of
production. Every consideration de-
mands that this be done
Answering Mr.. warriner, the pres
ident Of the United Mine Workers
said on August Sth:
- 1T will be glad to hear from you
when you abandon this position'-the
position that anthracite costs and
prices can not be increased. AS to ar
b1tration, the miners last word was:
I'VE really do not care to arbitrate.
Thanks for the offer. We know that
you think the medicine would be good
for us but. frankly, we have little
faith in your diagnosis
AS the matter stands, therefore the
position Of the miners is that they do
not care to negotiate unless the oper-
ators concede in advance an increase
OF wages and other adjustments
which would add from 50 to 50 to the
price Of anthracite, and also concede
the checS-off
The position of the operators is
that the consumer would not pay more
Tor anthracite and that even present
prices can not be maintained without

"If the anthracite mine workers
wages were below a fair and reason
able level we fully realize that there
would be No justice in asking these
workers to sacrifice themselves in or
der that an industry, however useful,
might survive. The fact is, however
that by reason Of successive increases

Jails Empty As.
Reforms Set In

London, Aug. GAP by maiD-Pro-
bationary methods for adults and the
"Borstal" treatment for young people
have been responsible for a marked
decrease in the population of British
prisons. So much so that more than
20 jails in England and Wales, or
one-third of the total, have been
closed since 1914. There are now
only about 40 prisons in use through
out the country and these are not
fully occupied. -
A Home Office official says that
fewer and fewer people are being
committed to prison because the ten
dency now is to reform a man or
woman il it be at all possible. The
increased use OF probationary meth
DDS has worked well and in the opin-
ion of the official the time is not far
distant when prisons will be used
only for habitual criminals with
whom all attempts at reform have
failed.
During the first few years Of this
century approximately 500 out of
every 100000 of the population were
sent to prison each year. Today the
percentage is just over 100 in the
100000. The greatest drop has bean
in convictions for drunkenness and
similar offences.

have not been informed by authentic
sources of boiler trouble said to have
been experienced by the Mackinac re-
Gently, or of the repairs alleged to
have been made on the exploded boiler
before the vessel started on her trip
Of death.
The tragic scenes of yesterday and
the day before were repeated again
today at both hospitals. Relatives Of
the injured called to see their suf-
fering kin and there were many tear
full groups clustered about the cots
of these victims whose lives are de-
SPARED OF.
The sympathy and courtesy of the
Naval Hospital relief stan is all that
prevented many of the haggard call
ers from collapse.
Now that the excitement Of the dis
aster has died down, the marvellous
achievement Of the naval rescue par
ties and the Naval Hospital staff Is
even more apparent. When the ex-
plosion occurred there were almost 800
patients. naval and war veteran cases,
in the institution. Though there was
but a skeleton STAFF on duty at that
time, Captain Charles E. Riggs and
his force handled every one of the 80
disaster victims inside of IL minutes
The city was stirred today by the pa
thetic funeral of Manuel Vasquez, the
seaman killed in the explosion, who
was laid to rest in st. Columbia S
cemetery. Vasquez had Joined the
crew of the Mackinac but few days
before the catastrophe. His BODY was
at first identified as that of Edward
Leyallee, a fireman on the ship. When
Levallee returned to his home in Paw
tucket last night, Captain George NC
Way, commander Of the death ship, was
called here to identify the body.
Tomorrow from the home of Chief of
Police James Mccarthy OF Centrais
Falls, the quadruple funeral of his
sons family will be held. The mother,
Mrs. James Mccarthy. and her three
small children have died and the head
of the family lies in the Naval Hospi-
tai in a precarious condition.
Twenty-Five patients are still under
treatment at the Naval Hospital and
10 at the Newport Hospital, which is
to receive as many as can possibly
be moved from the former institu-
ton.
When the contemplated transfer OF
patients was announced, DIR. Norman
8. Baker, superintendent of the New
port Hospital, called upon sthe women
of Newport to volunteer their services
to assist his staff.
