Aliens Rounded Up
and Pickets Jailed in
Outlaw Cloak Strike

WilkesBarre, Pa. Pennsylvania
police started roundup of aliens
whom they charge with melting vio-
lence and stoning workers in the in
surgent strike in the anthracite re-
gion.
The strikers broke away from the
authority of the United Mine Work
ers of America, and struck in defiance
of the district officials of the union.
Their major demand is the equaliza-
tion of work.
Martin F. Brennan, of Shamokin,
president of District 9, United Mine
Workers, denounced the strike as il
legal and appealed to the men to re-
turn to work. GAS sure as the sun
will set, the insurgent movement is
bound to fail" he told them in a
statement.
At Jessup the authorities sent elev-
en- insurgent pickets to Jail for ten
days. They were charged with ston-
ing miners on their way to the Un-
derwood collieries.

Cincinnati, o. (ILNS)-Early re-
turn of the brewing industry to its
pre- Volstead affuence is believed
here to be SO certain that the city
council is authorizing changing cer-
tain areas in the zoning laws to per-
NIT the erection or operation of
breweries.
The city planning committee
which several years ago had express
ed the opinion that beer brewing
would never again return as an indus
try, has voted to amend the ordi-
nances on zoning to provide for brew
cries if the dry laws are liberalized.
The new set-up will re-classify busi-
ness districts to include breweries, for
many dismantled breweries in such
zones have been awaiting a land
buyer in the belief that prohibition

Geneva Labor Office Urges
Hours Cut for JObless Relief

Geneva, Switzerland.-Th Inter-
national Labor Organization urges
shorter hours as means of reducing
unemployment.
The recommendation is that the
hours of employees in concerns work
ing at normal capacity be diminish
ed, in order to make it possible to
take on more workers.
This should be effected in some
cases, the recommendation says, by
arranging periodical rotation of
workers over period Of weeks.
The recommendation says nothing
about maintaining the wages of the
part-time workers.
Trade unions insist that reduced
hours shall not involve wage reduc-
tions, which, union officials point out,
would mean lowering Of the work
ers' living standards.

to seventeen or eighteen years for all
children throughout the country, and
if all children attending the grade

Rails Taken in Hand
The rails were taken in hand
toward noon and pushed higher,
with Union Pacific setting the
pace. The advance in the group
was surprise in view Of the in
conclusive nature of the meeting
of the rail heads on the eastern
consolidation plan yesterday.
The buying was apparently
speculative, based on the hope
that an upturn in business, slight
evidence of which has become
apparent, would be translated
into greater traffic.
Consolidated at Head
The utilities were aided by the
power output figures which
showed a slackening of the re-
cent decline with output for the
week off 1871 per cent compared
with 1879 per cent last week.

COTTON HOLDS

NEW YORK, July 81 GNS0.
A fairly steady tone prevailed in
the cotton ring today with the
run of contracts slightly below
the previous close.
There were no big trades and
the total volume was limited.
COoperatives Selling
Cooperative brokers continued
to sell near months as did the
South. Liverpool and the Cont
nent sold distant months.
Price-fixing orders absorbed
most of the offer in near months.
There was a small amount Of
buying by commission houses and
Wall Street in distant months.
The government weather report
was interpreted as highly favor
able and had depressing effect
upon the market, but this was
offset in way by forecasts
indicating showers over the en-
tire belt.
A tendency to scale crop esti-
mates higher than a month ago
appears. One crop firm made

Utilities Commission and D.
C. Heads Compose Body
Issuing Orders.

The Joint Board, consisting Of the
Public Utilities Commission and the
District Commissioners, yesterday issued
an order setting up 1876 taxicab stands,
nine stands for sightseeing vehicles and
five stands for express vehicles in vari-
Gus parts Of the city. Jurisdiction over
these stands was transferred TO the
Joint Board by the recently enacted
license act.
The principal new departure in the
order Is the placing of public hack
stands before all major downtown
hotels, which have heretofore claimed
that the municipality cannot do this.
The hotels have a practice Of renting
concessions to individual companies,
giving them the right to stand in front
Of their entrances.
Otherwise the stands are In most
cases the same as those now In exist
ence. In a few cases old stands have
been abolished, and In other cases
stands have been moved to other loca-
tions on the same intersections. An
effort has been made to get all stands
on the far corners of intersections, leav-
ing the near corners for loading plat
forms and safety zones for street cars
and buses.
