Phhladelphia.-Coa operating inter-
ests in the Eastern states, particularly
those centering in Philadelphia and
New York, are seeking to shape mat
ters in the soft coal industry for a
reduction of approximately 33 per
cent in the wages of union miners
with the expiration of the Jackson
vile agreement March 81, 1927. The
public mind is already being educat-
! ed to discount the costs and gravity
of bituminous strike by circulation
of reports that three -fourths of the
bituminous supply of the nation is be-
ing produced in non-union fields.
The operators have no intention of
| renewing the present wage contract
il it can be avoided. Boston financial
interest in the last three years have
become the largest investors in the
non-union coal fields of West Virginia,
Virginia and Kentucky, and the belief
among operators is that the Boston
contingent can exert sufficient politi-
cal pressure on the federal authorities
to prevent interference or interven-
ton in suspension of work with the
failure to renew the agreement.
Non Union Coal Makes Inroads
Great non-union interests in West
Virginia, with the aid of pressure ex-
erted on industries by banking and in
vestment interests, are pushing their
way into the New England territory
to an increasing extent. They are
| also seeking to concentrate all of the
lake cargo business on the non-union
fields. About 26,0O0,OOO tons of coal
will move across the Great Lakes in
the next six months, and with the
present expectation on the part of in
vestors that fully 80 per cent of this
tonnage will come from the nom
union fields.
"The Miners Union is too weak now
to resist wage cut next spring"
said one coal operator in Philadel-
phia recently.
| Nation to Lay in Coal Stocks
"The nation has ample warning of
the approaching expiration of the
Jacksonville agreement, and will stock
up large supplies of reserve coal from
the non-union fields, so that when the
strike comes the country will be pre-
pared to meet any temporary emer-
gency"
In the last twelve months the in
vestments of New England financial
interests in the non n-union fields of
West Virginia have more than dou-
bled. Capital has been invited into
these fields on the representation that
the federal government would not
sanction any effort on the part Of the
| United Mine Workers of America to
unionize these fields.
i The non-interference of the federal
i government in the anthracite sus-
tpension last winter has been pointed
to as criterion of the policy which
may be looked for in the event Of q

Chicago.-By a vote of better than
two to one-2,5O9 to 1,195-members
of Chicago Typographical Union No.
16, in referendum election, rejected
a proposed new scale of wages offer
ed by employing printers, through
the Franklin Association, and adopted
counter proposition submitted joint
ly by the executive council of the
international Typographical Union
and the job scale committee of Typo
graphical Union No. 16.
The result of this referendum cleo
ton may mean that the 4,500 union
job printers of Chicago are to be in
volved in a strike, with the resources
of the international Typographical
Union back of them. No. 16 has been
levying a special 5 per cent assess
ment on the earnings of it's members
to meet the present emergency for the
last three months, with the result
that there is now about $250,000 in
the war chest of the local union.
Bosses Expected to Grant Demands
A strike of any considerable pro-
portions is not considered probable,
however, as it is believed that the
bosses will accede to the demands of
the union, as they are fully aware that
the International Typographical
Union, headed by President James M.
Lynch, will back the Chicago job
printers in the present controversy.
The ballot, which was prepared by
the executive council of the Inter
national Union, contains clause
which President William J. Hedger, cf
No. 16, considers as tantamount to
pledge by the international officers
that they will go the limit in backing
the local union
The clause referred to reads. as fol-
lows:
"If the second proposition is adopt
ed it will be accepted by the executive
council as a request for sanction to
take strike vote, provided the Frank
I'm Association declines to accept the
proposition"
The proposition of the Franklin As
SOciation was an offer Of y raise in
wages of SIS week spread over a
period of five years. There would be
an immediate raise of So week and
another raise of So week on June

FAMILY ALLOWANCE WAGES

Washington.-Family allowances to
supplement basic wages for workers
with dependents is the subject mat

"some millions of manual and non
manual workers"

New York City Fur Workers
Win Strike by Compromise
Based on Forty-Hour Week

days with pay of the ten which they
had before. A joint unemployment
insurance fund is set up.
The basis for the 4O-hour week de-
mand is that the work is injurious,
only young men and women being able
to stand the harmful effects of chem
icals and fur hair settling on the
lungs. The chronic unemployment in
the industry also led to the demand
for 40-hour week.

hours work up to November, 1929,

tribute who will do the university
students special honor by its pre-
sentat:on.
The record of the performance

stick on the order of totam
pole, which is sacred possession of
the tribe and dates back over 600
years, it was said by Long.
1t is said the chanting for the
dance will be led by an old Indian
who is known in the southwest for
his singing, and is said to have
made Indian song records for several
music companies.
] The dancers will also be in full
! costume, such as they are, Long ex-
planned, and will give the high lights
or most important sketches from the
! dance which ordinarily lasts 4S hours

MINING
HURT BY DECLINE
In SILVER PRICE

The Mexican mining industry has
been seriously crippled as result
of the great decline in the price OF
silver, according to reports to the
Dispatch. 1t is reported that the
Fedrazzinni properties in the state or
Sonora have closed down and tns
Pachuca mines in the state of Hi
dalgo, nave laid off one thousand
miners. Silver mines in Zacatecas
and Guanajuto are also reported to
be closing.
The crisis in the silver mining In
dustry is attributed to the steady
decline in the price of silver during
the past week which is in turn
attributed to the placing of China
and India on a gold basis. The re-
fusaT of the Mexican government TO
permit the coinage Of silver for
some time past also affected the
silver mining industry in that coun-
try.
Mexico is one of the greatest silver
producing countries in the world.
Her production of silver in 1925 was
92S0S,0S6 troy ounces Other meals
for the same year were: Gold, 7SS, 1885,
troy ounces; lead, S77SS3,344 pounds;
copper, 112,999,541 pounds, and zinc,
1O0,694,S26 pounds.

COCHISE COUNTY AND
STATE PLAN TO BUILD
JOINT BENSON BRIDGE.

w. Robinson, president of the FL
Paso Bridge and Iron company and
one of the best known bridge eng;-
neers in the southwest was in Tomb
stone Friday to represent Cochise
county at a meeting of county SUI
pervisors and officials of the state
highway department at which plans
were discussed for the building of
state and county joint bridge across
the San Pedro river, it was learned
from the board of supervisors.
It was learned that the state high
way department VIII send Percy
Zones, it's locating engineer, to Ben
son Immediately to make a survey to
determine whether it will be practi-
cable for the state and Cochise
county to construct a joint bridge
across the San Pedro river.
] Announcement to this effect was
made yesterday by e. M. Whitwortnt
district engineer for the staten high-
way department for district No. a.
with headquarters ct Tucson.
W. c. Lefebvre state engineer, held
conference at Benson Tuesday
morning with Dave Adams, chairman
of the board of supervisors of Cochlse
county; Sid Smyth, county engineer,
and Whitworth.
"Lefebvre has instructed me to
announce that if a practicable site
for joint bridge can be located.
the county probably will put up
one third of the cost and the state
highway department will finance the
balance.
"The state highway department
will send it's bridge crew, in charge
of H. M. Hassler, bridge foreman,
to Benson at once, to start the con-
struction of a temporary bridge across
the San Pedro river at the site of
the old st. David bridge. This struc-
ture will take care of the traffic
during the period of investigation of
the proposed new bridge site. The
construction of this bridge is maze
mandatory because of the intermit!
tent rises of the river which make
it Impossible to maintain traffic.
'"The state highway department
will route all traffic, with the ex-
ception of the busses and trucks
through Benson and st. David, by
the ford that has been constructed
provided that there is no further
rise in ithe river. Twenty-four hour
service will be maintained at the
, ford to aid the traveller in case OF
necessity. This service will consist
CT man and a team.
"The gravel ford that has beer
made VIII not stand any heavy trar-
fic such as busses and trucks, anc
/ for that reason Lefebvre has de.
: cided not to allow this crossing to be
; used by those types of vehicles.
"In case of rise that is danger
| Gus to the motoring public, it will
r be advised by the placing of the
| proper detour signs, and traffic viii
again be routed by way of Sonoits
I and Fairbanks"
If the joint bridge is built it viii
: be constructed from state and coun.
E ty funds, with federal aid.

PRINCESS is A MEMBER
OF GIRL RESERVES AND
ACTIVE In WORK OF ~

That Princess Ileana of Rumania,
who with her mother Queen Marie,
and brother, Prince Nicholas, is now
visiting the United States, is a girl
reserve and active club worker in
her own country will be interesting
to many girls and women in Doug
las. Both Queen Marie and her
daughter are active in the work or
"Jovenes de Triangulo Azulo" as the
younger girls in the Young Womens
Christian association of Rumania are
called, as we'll as in the general de-
velopment and work of the Y. w.

An interesting account of Princess
Ileana as a girl reserve was given
in report of the girls work sec

ice for new members held in the
granary,' the attic recreation room
of the Y. w. c. A. of Bucharest,
Rumania, the members of the as
sociation including the Princess
Ileana, and their guests went down
stars to play
The report goes on to say, Much
to Princess Ileana's amusement, the
girls gave a little one-act play called
The Surprise which she wrote sew
eral years after a visit 30 the camp
for girls at Busteni where she haG
seen the girls getting up impromptu
theatricals. The play, based on u
telegram announcing the approaching
visit of the queen of Rumania who
turns out to be a friend playing a
practical joke on her host and hostess,
afforded much merriment especially
in the wild scramble of the gentle
man and his wife to make the house
ready for the distinguished guest anc
in the efforts of the joker to I'm
personate the queen. The audience
applauded and applauded but the
princess was too shy to stand up
and bow in response to th., calls
for the author.
/ Comment on another amusing in
stance of this royal girl reserve is
made later in the report. 'The
princess is q great help with the
work. The girls adore her and she
merits their admiration. Always

anxious not to let the girls give
her any advantage when she play;
