BIKE OWNERS FAIL
TO GET LICENSES

: Youngsters in San Antonio who ride
bikes" have been holding out on
Frank H. Bushick, commissioner OF
taxation, in the matter Of paying the
licenses on their wheels.
Saturday was the last day on
which they were supposed to pay the
75-cent fee for riding their bicycles
on the city streets without being de-
linquent in their payments, and only
1926 of the riders had taken out Ii
censes Saturday morning.
Bicycle owners will be given a
month more of grace, and at the end
of that time will be subject to arrest
for not having the necessary tag.
According to figures on record in
the office of the collector of licenses
and dues, there were 1927 licensed
bikes in San Antonio last year. Com
mencing next month, it is expected
t. t a steady flow of boys will enter
the office for their new tax receipts

GIRL RUM SUSPECT
REFUSES TO TALK

Willy shakes OF a pretty bodied head
met the attempts Of Detectives Goft
and Hice to wrest from a pretty IS
year-old girl information which might
establish her as the leader Of a gang
of rum-runners operating between the
border and San Antonio.
Her two male companions. youths Of
not more than 81 years, remained
silent when the officers piled them
with questions. Aided by Chief of De-
tectives Sam Street and Captain W.
Abrsm Harvey, the officers decided
success, might lie in the grilling OF
the woman.
But to every question she signi-
fled her answer by a shake Of her
head.
The trio, all Of whom were armed,
were arrested at an apartment house
Saturday afternoon.

ness of the government surrender to
the unions stunned their supporters
into support.
When the proposal was submitted
to the Houses of Parliament, there
was no time for reflection and we
witnessed the paradox of the most
generally unpopular ministerial action
of recent times receiving an over
wbelming vote in its favor from the
House of Commons and passing the
Lords without a division.
Still, it shattered confidence in the
government and it has yet to face the
worst of its developments. The crisis
must come in the spring and anything

MUST OFFER TERMS.

If Mr.. Cook, the miners leader, is
right in his forecast of a great indus
trial struggle then, if the government
offers fair terms to the miners be-
fore the conflict begins. the nation
will rally to any appeal they make for
support. But it is essential that rea-
sonable proposals should first Of all
be made to the mine workers.
There is much sympathy with them
now in their present condition and the
wine owners have made the worst im-
preston on the public mind by their
obstinacy. their narrowness and their
rigidity. If the government mishsndles
the situation in the spring, thea the
anger of the nation might force the
House of Commons into revolt against
its leaders. Apart from that, / believe

That majority has still five years in

1t has no desire to shorten that

PRICES TAKE DROP.

What is the position: The guaran-
tee against diminution of wages and
profit in the coal mines, given by the
government, has had the inevitable eff
feet of lowering the price of British
coal at home and abroad. The middle
man has insisted Cd taking full advan-
tage Of the guarantee to increase his
sales by lowering his prices at the
national expense. The loss on the
working of the mines is therefore
steadily increasing.
In the South Wales coalfields in
July. before the guarantee, the ag-
gregate loss was a shilling per ton. In
August and September. the first
month of the guarantee, that loss rose
to two shillings and eightpence per
ton. In October, it rose to three shill-
ings and eightpence in November. to
four shillings: in December. to four
shillings and tenpence per ton. The
amount payable by the government is
thus increasing in each succeeding
month. Their original estimate has
already been doubled. It will soon be
trebled and still the guarantee will
not have been Inundated.
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1926-01-31
CAN'T STOP PAYING.

How are they to get out Of it? IF
they stop it, they will precipitate
severe crisis. not merely in the coal
trade but in the dependent industries
which are now profiting. largely by the
reduced prices Of coal due to the sub
sidy. Either coal prices must not
merely be restored to the July level
but raised even higher or, in the alter
native, the miners must accept another
cut in their wages or work an extra
hour. The miners are in no mood to
make any such concessions and the
trade union world. encouraged by its
easy success in July, is prepared to
put the whole Of its strength behind
the Miners Federation.
1t is true that the coal commission
have yet to report and they may find
a way out that will give general salts
faction. II needs a very sanguine per-
son TO anticipate such a happy release
from our troubles. But even if they
do, no solution can bring immediate
prosperity TO the coal fields.
