Miners Wives Take
Steps Prevent Strike

Durham, (AP)-Miners' wives
throughout England's coal fields
have taken steps to prevent a gen.
eral strike in May when the govern
ment's subsidy to the coal industry
comes to an end.
The women have been aroused
because the coal overs and the
workers representatives have not
come to agreement. The women
themselves are to go direct to the
coal owners and plead with them to
take the initiative in arranging con-
ferences with their men.
Railway officials have arranged to
take 10000 women to London to par
ticipate in a demonstration against a
strike April II.

NATIONAI-"Craig's Wife"

washington heard much in advance
of it's coming of how George Kelly S
Pulitzer prize play, "Craigs Wlfe,.
made a deep impress upon metropoN-
tan theatergoers, as well as Oh the
arguments, pro and con, as 10 why
it should or should not have peeh
awarded the Pulitzer prize Tor the
best play of last year.
Whether it was the weather or lack
of faith in the New York Judgment
the National Theater last evening was
but half filled to see the play ana
one of the finest characterlzatlons
that has ever been presented on the
local stage. And it was Chrystai
Herne. a name that has seldom ap
neared on the local play bills, VINO
gave the latter. Indeed. Miss Herne
performance, the outstanding feature
of the play, is as rare a masterpiece
as Washington has ever seen.
Mr.. Kelly's play, without plot 10
sneak of. finds it's sole merit in the
one character, that of supremely
selfish woman, devoid of romance,
even of heart, save for her own mar
row. mean self, who has married an
adoring husband solely for the home
he has provided her, and VINO, sun
unsatisfied, after having driven away
his friends, seeks further conquest
by making a mere puppet or nm.
With rare personal charm and with
exquisite art, backed by an unforget-
able voice, Miss Herne portrays the
role. To attempt to explain how she
does it would be to attempt to match
her art. 1t is performance to be
seen rather to be analyzed. theatrl-
cal creation that will linger long in
the memory of those who are fortu-
nate enough to see it. Mr.. Kelly has
drawn the character with cOnsummate
skill. Miss Herne impersonates 1t
perfectly.
The character itself is common
enough in ordinary life, and. as may
be supposed. it is not at all attractive,
but vet, as Miss Herne presents it, it
has a rare fascination and, unless all
signs fail, it is going to furnish the
topic for much converSation-pro-
vided, of course, the ladies permit.
The play is absolutely free of the
immortality so frequently relied upon
by the modern playwright to create
drama.
Anne Sutherland, as the husba nd's
aunt, and Isabel Irving, as the lady
with the roses" a gentle and harm

it manages to be thoroughly amusing

The whole family can sit in the front

melody But several of the numbers,
notably That's Happiness" have a
tunefulnesS that goes home with you.
The plot. if there must he one as a
sort of fragile string to hang the
sparkling beads of comedy and song
upon, is just that. And the numbers
flow easily out of the situations-if
that is demanded, too. In short, the
piece seems headed for success.

act is a strong one and was rewarded
with many curtain calls.
The holdover gentleman, Frank
Fay, carried his difficult job with the
cleverness of an artist, very little of
his offering of last week being dis
cerned. Offering new material Is
difficult problem for monolog1st. but
Fay does the trick and has his sup
porting trio of youngsters following
in his steps with many laugh-provok-
ing stunts. Toward the close of the
program, Frank warns up to his work
and has the audience appla auding to
the echo.

freight was 1,s5o,57o,542 tons.
Notwithstanding this showing It
appears that within the present hs-

law, whereby roads and employees
decide the matter between them
selves, an increase around a hundred
millions more in wages.

sion reports, for the year ending June

It finds that some Of these were pre-

stop or control, would have pre-
vented 40 Of the deaths and 246 of
the injured persons in cases inves-
