MINERS WARNED
TO AVOID STRIFE
Eat Little, Keep Cool and
We Will VIM" Welsh
Leaders Advise.
BY NEGLEY FARSON.

By Cable to The Star and Chicago DAILY news.
CARDIFF, South Wales, May e.
Leaders of the miners in the great
fields of South Wales are pleading
with the men to keep cool and keep
their hands in their pockets.
Don't allow agents, provocateurs
or any one else to incite you to
violence which would enable the gov
eminent to bring in soldiers and po-
lice-otherwise we are undone,' Is
their plea.
On the back of a racing motor
cycle, with David Davis. leader of
No. 2, Rhondda district Of Glamor-
gan miners in the sidecar, the writ
err raced through the barren rain
drenched hills, past pit heads and
dumps where the miners houses
were damned together in long lines
like dirty bookshelves. Through
Cardiff, Glenallyn, Pontypridd, Ire
fod and Lewis Merthyr in the
RhOndda Valley we went. Then
through notorious Tonypandy. prob
ably the most explosive district in
Wales, where occurred the vicious
riots of 1911.
Thousands at Meeting.
At Pontypridd we saw a great
mass meeting, where thousands of
miners. standing bareheaded in the
pouring rain, cheered orders to keep
cool, and sang Land of Our
Fathers"
The writer heard miners talking
heart to heart with officials Of their
union and officials of the railway
union, In which the latter promised
to stand by the men to the finish.
Tighten your belts; eat as little
as possible: prepare for the greatest
battle in the history Of labor" the
men were advised.
There was a private meeting OF
miners in Glenallyn. and the writer
asked permission to attend. The lead.
ers were nervous and did not want
to decide without putting the ques.
ton to a vote of the men and left
the writer standing outside the old
chapel shed used as a town hall
Passionate arguments floated out
Then bull-throated voice cried:
I'VE aren't afraid for the whole
world to hear-let him in. If our
cause is not good enough to be heard
it is no cause for a fight"
THAT settles it, said the leaders
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1926-05-06

to maintain touch with the generals"
outside.
Although naturalization of mines
is demanded, and the prophecy is
made that the government will fall,
and a new government will be set up
with Ramsay Macdonald, Britain's
first labor premier, as it's head, the
tone OF the meeting was ito pursue
a policy OF tranquil inactivity" And 1t
was quite obvious that the leaders had
not yet despaired Of a compromise.
But the miners have only about
two.week supply Of money-and what
will happen after that, no one knows.

Columbus, Ohio, under the auspices
OF special commission. A liberal
fund has been provided to make a
special study of the religious and
social phases OF Negro life, dealing
especially with the Negro who has
migrated to the great centers, taking
in such cities as Chicago, Detroit,
Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati. ST.
Louis and other mid-western cities.
In addition to the study of these
problems provided for, it is contem-
plated to render financial assistance
to worthy church organizations in
these centers, that have established
themselves in their respective COM
munities as constructive working
units, teaching proper ideals of ret
ligion, life and citizenship. 1t is
planned to encourage industry, thrift
and conservative teachings as op1
posed to the rise of bolshevism and
socialism in congested American
cfdies.
Other excellent offers in Nashville
and Chicago have been made to DR..

Columbus is accepted because of
the advantages offered as univers-
ity center and the mass of data for
the work available there.

HARTSHORN TO HAVE A
KINDERGARTEN

For some time there has been felt
the need of Kindergarten for the
colored children of Richmond. This
great need has not been met by the
public schools of the city and thus,
ii is with considerable pride that
charge of Hartshorne. there has been
lishment of the first kindergarten
in Richmond.
Since President Mullison has taken
rharge of Hartshorn, there has been
considerable pressure brought to
bear upon him for the establishment
of this great child-training depart
ment, and, as a result, he has def
nitely promised that the department
will open on Novem ber list, the late
ness of the opening being due to the
necessity of redecorating the room
and buying the necessary supplies
incident to its new beginning.
Children, both boys and girls, will
be admitted to the Kindergarten at
the age of five years. The tuition
will be $500 for the full year. 1t
may be paid in full or in two in
stallments OF $3.50 each: the first
installment due on November lst
and the second On January 31st.
Mrs. Mullison, wife Of the Presi-
dent, will be the teacher. She is
well prepared for this work as she
was engaged in kindergarten teach
ing in the North before her mar
riage.
President Mullison will be glad for
those who wish to enter their chill.
dren to write him concerning their
Intentions.

Grants Petition to Hold Up Fiqht at PhiladeIphia


Indianapolis, Ind. Sept. 13.-The
petition of the Chicago Coliseum
Club for an injunction to prevent
the Jack Dempsey.Gene Tunney
worlds heavyweight championship
bout at Philadelphia, September %,
was granted tonight by Judge Clin-
ton II. Giyan, in superior court here.
Judge Givan held that the owner
ship of the contract by the Chicago
CUB represented a property right.
He s3-d further that although
: prize fight Is not sanctioned by In
diana law, and that an Indiana
court cannot properly take judicial
cognizance of contract for a
prize fight, contrary to Indiana
law" the State does recognize prop
erty rights and that is what he
construed the contract TO be.
Judge Giyan's opinion, rendered,
after day of wrangling by attor-
neys for Dempsey and the club, did
not mention the manner in which an
Indiana courts injunction would be
operative in Pennsylvania where the
Dempsey-Tunney fight is scheduled,
to be held.
B. p. Clements president of the
Coliseum Club, and Sol Esarey and
James A. Farabaugh, Clements aat-
torneys have maintained, during ithe
hearing that courts of Pennsylvania
would be bound cOnstitutionally to
enforce the Indiana injunction, iai-
though sharp issue has been taken
on this contention by local disinter-
ested lawyers.
Clements asserted that the Indiana
injunction will be made the basis of
a Pennsylvania action to stop Sthe
fight.
Philadelphia, Pa, Sept .11.-Tex
Rckard, promoter of the Dempsey
Tunney fight, does not believe the
action Of Judge Clinton H. Givan,
OF the Indiana superior court, will
be operative in Pennsylvania.
Granting of the injunction by the
Indiana court to prevent the fight,
Rckard asserted, would have no eff
feet on his plans for the bout, which
he stated, rapidly were nearing com
pletion.
am going right to the limit to
put the fight on as planned said
Rickard, and / see no reason why
it should not go on.
Before signing Dempsey, I went
thoroughly into the claim of the
Chicago Coliseum Club and was con-
vinced it was without merit. The
club promised Dempsey a million
dollar purse, but did not put up a
nickel. 1t tried to hold the cham
pion up.
I am unfamiliar with the legal
aspects of the injunction suit, and
was not represented at the hearing
by counsel. 1 do not see, however,
how the injunction can be operative
in Pennsylvania
Atlantic City, N. j., Sept. 49,
Gene Normile, manager OF Jack
Dempsey, tonight expressed the view
that the granting of an injunction
today to the Chicago Coliseum Club
to prevent the psey-Tunney
heavyweight championship fight
would not interfere with the bout.
Normile pointed out that there was
the right of an appeal from an in
junction and does not consider the
present proceedings as obstructive
to the holding of the fight.
