Titled Couple Leave.
Although the days have passed when
New York society looks upon titled
visitors az rare attractions, 1t is not
often that nobility visits and departs
from the country with as little excite
ment as did Lord and Lady Victor
Paget. 1t may be that this failure to
shine at many social affairs was due
to the fact that but few people seem
ed to know that they were in town
A few years ago when Lord Vic
tor Paget came to this country it was
reported that he was to select an
American bride and society matrons
waited in eager expectation for the
choice TO be announced. They were
disappointed. however, and it was
made known at a later date that he
was to marry the Hon. Bridget
Colebrooke, daughter of Lord and
Lady Colebrooke and one of the very
active members OF continental So
oiety. She is the second Lady Paget
the first being Olive May, a well
known musical comedy performer.
An unusual international romance
is recalled with the news that Ma
talie, Duchess of Mecklenberg, is
visiting at the home Of her parents
Mr.. and Msr. Charles May Oelrichs
Of IA East Sixteth street The duchess
was formerly Miss Oelrichs and Mrs
Peter Martin. Her present title came
through marriage about eight years
ago, after she had received more than
the usual amount of social attention
for many seasons. This last venture
into matrimony, according to the rec
ords. ended with divorce.
Duke Henry Borwin of MeckIen berg
had somewhat of a checkered career
and the former Miss Oelrichs was his
second American bride. Financial diff
hculties caused his departure from the
army of the German kaiser He vir-
tually went into exile during the war
and is reported to have married for
a third time.

LABOR STANDS
READY

Building Trades

BY International Labor News Service
Indianapolis, Ind-Labor stands

w. Kern, of the Building Trades Coun-
ell of Indianapolis, in attendance at
the third annual conference of Indi,
ana Craftsmen, Architects, Contrac-
tors and Engineers, held at La Fay
ette
"The workman through his repre-

shall be minimized, Mr.. Kern said
And that complete understanding and
cooperation and mutually of inter.

The speakers topic was "Co-opera-
tion in the Building Industry" and he
took occasion to outline labor's stand
in the matter of constructive work.
More than 200 men, representing all
phases of the building industry were
in the conference and presented their
views on various matters connected
with the building industry in the state
with the thought uppermost of seek.
ing betterments that would ensure the
industry keeping up its progress.

SOFT COAL OUTPUT
For 1925 Greater Than 1924,
But Under 1923 Mark

BY International Labor News Service.
Washington, D. C.-After getting
away to bad start at the beginning
of 1925, the soft coal industry has
picked up to point where prospects
are that the total production for this
year will exceed all recent years ex-
cept 1923. Any great increase in the
rate of output for the remainder of
the year will bring the years total
to very near the 1923 mark.
The actual output of bituminous
so far this year already exceeds
4OO, 100000 tons. It is 25,O0O,OOO tons
ahead of the same date last year and
production is running higher than
last year and probably will continue
to do so.
The total production for 1924 was
484, 100000 tons. That of 1923 was
565, 100000 tons and that of 1922 was
422, 100000 tons. The estimate of
production for the full year of 1925,
based on what already has been mined
and on future production prospects is
525, ,000, 900 tons.

the big users Of bituminous found

EIGHT-HOUR LAW
VOID, RULED BY
WYOMING COURT

Cheyenne Wyo.-The legislature
can pass an eight-hour law for labor
on public works, but the present act
is "unenforceable," says the Wyom-
ing state supreme court.
The decision was made in the case
of a paving contractor in this city.
The court says the act can not be en-
forced because Of the undefiniteness
and uncertainty of it's penal provi-
sions,' which conflicts with the feder-
al and state constitutions.
Until the law is amended public
works contractors will have free
hand to enforce the long work day,
although eight hours has been the ac-
cepted standard in Wyoming for
many years.

rates range all the way from 20 cents
per day in five jails in Porto Rico to
$500 per day IN three Jails in Alaska.
The average payment is SO cents per
day, but in 442 jails the payment is
less than SO cents.
System Vicious in Extreme
The money received for the main
tenance of federal prisoners goes
either to the county or the to the laws
existing in a particular state. In the
latter case, the sheriff or jailer gets
certain sum per day per prisoner.
If the food costs him less he is en-
titled to retain the difference. A more
vicious system it would be impossible
to conceive; that whereby the income
of the officer depends upon what he
can save from the food allowance of
the prisoners.

More Than 1000 Federal Prisoners
Confined Under Abominable Con-
tions, Report on County Jails Shows

BY international Labor News Service
Jackson, Miss.-The United States
government, having no jails of its
own, is using one-third of all the city
and county jails in the country with
out paying any rent, and is boarding
out more than 1000 prisoners--in-
Guiding many who are merely await
ing trial--to local jails over which
the federal government has no control
and many of which are desperately
over-crowded, reeking OF physical
and moral filth.
This, briefly, is the substance of a
report submitted to the 55th annual
congress of the American Prison As
sociation here by DR.. Hastings H.
Hart, chairman on jails, formerly
president of the association, now con-
sultant in delinquency and penology
at the Russell Sage Foundation in
New York city. The committee dur
ing the last year has studied condi-
tions in the 893 city and county jails
and warehouses in which federal pri-
soners are kept.
Urges U. S. Jail System
AS a remedy for the condition ex-
posed in the report, DR.. Hart recon-
mended that the United States gov
ernment establish a jail system of its
own, each Jail to serve a territory
with radius of so miles, begin
ming with the points on the Canadian
and Mexican borders where there is
at present the greatest congestion of
federal prisoners, and extending the
system until the government has jails
of its own in all thickly settled sec
tions of the country This, DR.. Hart
said, is the only logical correction for
the present unsanitary, immoral, and
inhuman conditions created by the
overcrowding of city and county jails
with boarded-out federal prisoners.
DIR. Hart declared in submitting the
report that his study of the treatment
of federal prisoners in county jails
has revealed "such abominable con-
ditions" that he expects to devote the
remainder of his life to seeking cor
rection of these conditions, and that
the Russell Sage Foundation will pur-
sue it's studies in this direction with

Lewis Denounces Propaganda

Miners Are Tired Of Strike

of the United Mine Workers of
America, spoke to 10000 miners and
other citizens at huge mass meet
ing at Nanticoke, Pa, in demonstra-
tion against propaganda being circu-
lated by the anthracite operators to
the effect that the miners were tired
of the strike and believed it never
should have been called.
The meeting refuted the talk that
has been spread about the hard coal
district and it was the opinion of the
thousands gathered that they were
sticking until their demands were rec

HIGH RENTS CAUSE
STRIKE

Washington.-High rents caused
the recent general strike in Panama,
according to reports from Panama
trade unionists to President Green.
The strike was an unauthorized mass
movement that swept through the

The large number of unemployed
made matters worse and dozen per-
sons were killed or injured. In ac-
cordance with treaty agreement be-
tween Panama and the United States,
troops from the latter nation aided in
restoring order at the request of the
president Of Panama.

cite situation; that the operators had
persistently refused to meet the Off
cials and the wage scale committee
to discuss wage agreement. He
pointed out two reasons for this re-
fusal, one being that the operators
want to clean up their surplus coal at
a huge profit and the other being
desire to wreck the union. He said
the miners were willing to meet the
operators in a conference any time.
Vice President Philip Murray and
Secretary Kennedy, of the Interna-
tional Union, and President Cappel-
ini, of the district, also spoke. Cap
pelini declared that the talk that the
miners wished to return to work with
