Virden mine riot of 1898. Her grave
faces the memorial.
To certify this burial provision in
Mothes Jones' will, her wish was re-
corded three years ago in the Macoupin
County court house.
Green hills slope down to the ceme-
tery-hiIls reminiscent of County Cork,
in Ireland, where Mother Jones was
born Mary Harris more than century
ago.
On one of these slopes one October
day in 1898 the striking miners, march
ing to the Virden mine in protest
against importation of Negro strike
breakers, were halted by guards outside
a stockade. In the ensuing fighting
eight strikers were shot to death.
Gen." Alexander Bradley led the
protestants. He is buried in the Union
Cemetery, across the main driveway
from the shrubbed plot reserved for
Neither Jones.
Five of those killed in the Virden
riot-whom labor calls martyrs to
unionism in the Mount Olive

Jones often came. They were her

rested from many of her arduous CAM
paigns for the betterment of labor con-
ditions.

WINTER UNEMPLOYMENT
is TRACED TO HABIT
Department of Commerce Declares
Twelve-Month Building Plan
Would Help Every One.

BY the Associated Press.
Habit alone, Department of Commerce
experts believe, keeps many men Jobless
during the Winter.
Many builders think construction
work is impracticable during Winter
months, and James s. Taylor, Bureau Of
Standards housing expert, today set out
to explode" the myth and help en-
ployment.
"The trouble is chiefly in the mental
attitude toward Winter" he asserted
"and production on a clear. snappy
Winter day does not suffer by COM
parison with that Of hot, sultry day
In August"
Twelve-month building schedules help
practically every one in the industry,
he observed, with large savings for own
ers through Winter work.
Said Taylor: THE usual decrease OF
construction in Winter Is chiefly mat
ter Of habit, not of climatic conditions.
We find construction dropping of in
warm Southern States about the same
time in the Fall that it does in Northern
States"

NAVY
HOLIDAY EXPIRES
Work VIII Start on Ship
building Programs Already
Given Approval.
BY PAUL SCOTT MowRER.

BY Radio TO The Star.
PARIS, France, December 1.-The
Franco-I Italian naval holiday expired
today.
Throughout this so-called holiday
both countries have been steadily build
ing and launching warships, but only
such tonnage as already was under
construction. From the present day,
both have announced, they are going
to lay down new keels in accordance
with the building programs already
voted. France will begin its seventh
new eight-inch cruiser and also sew
eral smaller craft, but without any
ceremony or widespread heralding of
the fact.
The expiration OF the holiday coin-
cideS with the complete breakdown of
the naval negotiations undertaken on
the side at the Geneva Disarmament
Commission meeting. These negotia-
lions began sensationally by the visits
OF Hugh S. Gibson, American Ambas-
sador to Belgium, to Paris and Rome
in an effort to inspire the resumption
OF Franco-Italian talks. These Franco
Italian talks were no sooner started at
Geneva than they collapsed and Mr..
Gibson thereafter refrained from fur
Their Intervention.
Following this American failure Great
Britain, which had itself already failed
three times, undertook new mediation.
The British experts, seeing the French
and Italians separately, tried to find a
common ground of understanding
They also have now again failed.
France meanwhile has approached
Great Britain with the view of ascer-
tanning how the latter would regard
the possibility of France alone insert
ing figures in the London naval treaty
without regard to Italy, but with an
escape clause authorizing France to
build beyond the figures if Italian
construction exceeds a certain level.
Great Britain thus far is cool to this
proposal.
Furthermore, it is not certain wheth-
er the French government itself favors
a Horsepower agreement. When such
an agreement was proposed in London
Aristide BRAND rejected it on the
ground that it might permanently en-
bitter Franco-Italian relations.

URGES IMPROVED
WHARF FACILITIES
Chief of Army Engineers Sees
Need of Proper Water
front Terminals.

Suitable terminal and transfer facili-
ties should be provided on Washington's
waterfront, Mai. Gen. Lyle Brown,
chief Of Army Engineers, today advised
Secretary Hurley in his annual report
for the fiscal year ending June 80.
Existing facilities, Gen. Brown pointed
out, not only are inadequate but pri-
vately owned wharves are, as a rule, in
poor condition.
Gen. Blown, who Is a member OF the
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission, pointed cut that there are
about 9,440 feet of waterfront along the
Virginia and Washington channels
which are available for terminal facili-
ties. of which only 1870 feet are now
used u connection with commerce on
the waterway. When Maj. Brehon
Somerven was District engineer for the
War Department fer the Washington
area he compiled and sent to Congress
a report on the Washington channel
waterfront development, but Congress
has failed to act on this improvement
program.
Wharves ClaSSed as Bulkheads.
Gen. Brown points out in his report
that the IL wharves in the Virginia
CAidAAtlCl are lOE JIle IIlOSL pdII Oulk~
head structures of timber, stone or con-
crete and in that section all vessels are
berthed parallel to the bulkheads. In
the washington channel, he explains,
there are "a Wharves, owned by the
Federal Government, 20 under the
supervision and control of the DIst> ~.
Commissioners and 4 under the i'm
mediate supervision and control of the
chief Of Engineers. Five are open to
the public on equal terms.
AS rule, the wharves are in very
poor condition, except those operated
by the municipal and Fedexal govern
ments," Gen. Brown asserts.
Commerce Cited as More Active.
The report contains a picture OF the
growth OF commercial activity on the
Potomac River. Gen. Brown assefts
that commerce for the calendar year
1929 is reported as 1864, 341 short tons,
valued at $50 1907, 300. The principal
items, he says, in order of tonnage being
gravel and sand, l,885,790 tons;
petroleum products, 330,376 tons; build
ing and crushed stone, 118,348 tons;
forest products, 61,838 tons; fertilizer
and raw products, 54,258 tons; naval
ordnance and stores, 24,712 tons, and
automobiles and trucks, 23,073 tons.

Labor Given 10000,
All That Is Left
By Mother Jones
Mrs. Burgess, Who Nursed
Centenarian, and Church
Refuse to Accept Sum.

Faithful in death to the cause OF
labor, Mary C'Mother'o Jones has
willed the whole of her meager estate,
Sc 900, to help advance the work and
aims of organized labor.
This b2came known today, after her
DEATH when Mrs. Walter Burgess, who
nursed and betriended the l00-yeap-old
labor crusader during her final illness,
revealed the last expressed wishes OF
Mother Jones as to the disposition of
her estate.
Mother Jones some time ago had
confided that she wished the $4,000
which represented the entire accumula-
ton of 60 years endeavors in the labor
movement, divided equally between Mrs.
Burgess and st. Gabriels Catholic
Church of this city, Both Mrs. Burgess
and Rev. William Sweeney, assistant
pastor of the church, who had admin
woman, protested. They told her, they
could not accept the money.
Then I shall leave it to organized
labor" Mother Jones said, ito help in
the cause after / am gone"
While it is not known definitely to
what branch of organized labor the
small estate was willed, Mrs. Burgess
construed it as the American Fedora
ton of Labor.
Some months ago, Mother Jones
called to her bedside her old friend,
John Walker of Chicago. She gave
him then 81 900, telling MIN she wished
it used in the fight to GUST 3ohn L.
Lewis from the head of the United
Mine Workers of America. Mr.. Walker
accepted the gift, as he said, to appease
a dying woman, but told ner then that
he would keep the money in trust,
should she ever have need of it herself.
Several years ago, Mother Jones pub
she obtained some or he money that
comprised her estate. Union miners in
various sections of the country, curing
her late years, had given her money,
also. Her wants were simple, how
ever, and most of these funds had ,-e-
manned intact.

HUNTING SEASON
WILL CLOSEDEC. 6
% Counties in Northern vir-
ginia. and Shenandoah Valley
Involved in Boards Order.
BY HOWARD M. BAGGETT,
Stan Correspondent of The Star.

ALEXANDRIA, Va, December L.
The hunting season on upland game
will close at midnight next Saturday
December 6, in % Virginia counties
comprising Northern Virginia and the
Shenandoah Valley, it was announced
yesterday by the Commission of Game
and Inland Fisheries, following series
of public meetings held concerning the
shortening of the season. The decision
of the commission to curtail the sea-
son was unan.m nous.
Considering Extension.
It was also announced that meet
ing will be held in Richmond, Va.
December 18 at 10 am, at which time
the closing of the upland game season
in the remainder of the State will be
considered. The season in Northern
Virginia and the valley sections, which
closes Saturday, normally runs until
December 81, while the season in the
remainder of the State, with exception
of special limitations in few counties
does not normally close until jan
uary 81.
Sentiment over the entire area con-
sidered in the curtailment, with the
exception of that. from two counties,
was unanimously in favor of closing
the season early. Both hunters and
game wardenS who appeared before the
four meetings of the commission
held last Friday and Saturday re-
ported game scare and that which
is TO be found in poor condition.
Representatives from Warren and Nell
son Counties were the only ones to
oppose closing the season, and the COM
mission abided by their wishes and
made the closing effective in % coun-
ties and not rs, as originally suggested,
leaving the season in Warren and Mel
son Counties open until December 81.
The counties affected are Mont
gomery, Roanoke, Botetourt, Bedford,
Rockbridge, Amherst. Allegheny, Craig,
Arlington, Clarke. Culpeper, Fairfax,
Fauquier, Frederick, Greene, Loudoun,
Madison, Orange, Page, Prince William,
R2ppahannock, Rockingham and Shen-
an6oah
May Kill on Own Lands.
Closing the season will not prevent
landowners from killing rabbits on their
own land. The season on waterfowl
likewise will not be affected, ducks and
geese being considered plentiful this
season. Hunting of waterfowl, turkeys
and grouse in the counties of Shen-
andoah, Rockingham, Augusta and Al
leghany likewise will not be affected.
Drought conditions CT the past Sum-
nner bringing on a scarcity in the food
supply prompted the commission to call
the various meetings for the purpose of
getting public sentiment concerning the
closing of the season. At the meetings
held game wardens reported that they
had found birds dead from starvation
while hunters reported seeing but few
birds and those in poor condition.
Maj. A. Willis Robertson of Stanton
chairman of the commission, and Judge
William S. Snow of this city, member
of the commission, spoke at the meet
ings held in Warrenton and VIM
chester last Friday. Meetings were held
Saturday in Woodstock and Stanton

Tribute of President Green.
When he heard of her death early
today, President Green of the American
Federation of Labor, expressing the in
ner feelings Of union men everywhere
said of her:
In the death of Mother Jones
unique and picturesque figure has been
removed from the ranks of labor.
Even though she has been incapaci-
tated through illness and advancing age
her name and personality has been a
great influence in public life and an
inspiration to. the men and women of
organized labor.
During her entire lifetime she has
been in the forefront of labor strug-
giles, cheering and inspiring men and
women to fight for the cause of or
ganizsd labor
The less sustained cannot be meas
-ured and the service she rendered will
never BE- surpassed or eXcelled.
1.-THE hearts of men and women of
labor are very sad because millions of
working men and women mourn the
death of Mother Jones'"
Last night Mother Jones appeared
weaker than usual and finally at 11:55

LED BY BATTLE FOR RIGHT.
Not "Hufnanitari2n," She Once Said,
but "IfeIl Raiser"
BY LEMUEL r. PARTON.

Il. Once at a public meeting, a college
professor referred to Mother Jones as
a great humanitarian" She interrupt
ed him. Get it right" she said I'm
not humanitarian, I'm hell-raiser."
Dead in Silver Spring, Md, today, at
the age of 100, Mother Jones probably
would not wish to change this self-char-
acteriZation. This writer had the privi-
lege of knowing Mother Jones for many
years and of frequently seeing her in
action. The art of hell-raising as she
practiced and eXpounded it was a
dauntless and deathless battle for right
as she saw it, and to her it provided
an adequate philosophy of action. Any
thing other than action didn't interest
her. You don't need votes to raise
hell" she told gathering of women,
seeking her views on suffrage.
tx Blended Sentiment and Fire.
Mother Jones was no shrieking virago.
She was, instead, a soft-spoken, fastidi-
ously dressed little old lady, with a
white fichu and silver white hair, such
as Cecil De Mile might have picked
for Way Down East" Born Mary Har-
riS, IN Cork, Ireland, she was the typical
Celtic blend Of sentiment and fire. She
would Groom old Irish songs to miners

and lead a charge up bleak hillside
against guns, bludgeons or anything
else that might lie ahead.
She loved to sit by the fireside with
cup of tea or perhaps making a bon
net for a miners wife. She had beeII
a dressmaker in Chicago and was skilled
in needlework. She insisted that fight
ing miners wives should wear bonnets,
as shawls were to her the symbol OF
inferiority. Mother Jones must have
QUILTED whole legions of bonneted
Arnazons in the West Virginia and
Pennsylvania coal fields. But, at that,
there was little time for tea drinking
and bonnet making. Mother Jones life
was spent mostly around blasted, Stag
strewn mining dumps, in moldy jails,
on SCARED and desolate hillsides, with
an occasional bullet whizzing through
the scrub timber; down in the dark pits
of coal mines, in. forlorn miners hllts,
in the textile mills and villages Of the
South, in dirty railway stations and on
jerkwater trains-Mother Jones, with
her neat little bonnet and a handker-
chief always edged with lace.
Terror to Nom Union Men,
On the battle line she often wore two

heads with If they got hurt And more
than once she did rip off her under
shirt to stanch the flow OF blood for
some fallen miner. The scourge Of
Attila was like nothing. compared to
Mother Jones leading an army Of en-
ragged women. Her method was to get
them out with mops and brooms, with
a large delegation making a frightful
CHATTER pounding on tin wash tubs This
visitation, suddenly descending on a
mine from the surrounding hillsides,
was terrifying both to the mules and
the non-union workers, usually stam-
peding both, with the women in pursuit.
