BRITISH COAL MINE
STRIKE POSTPONED

Special Cable to The Star.

Special Cable to The Star.
LONDON, November 22-There will
be no national coal strike until Spring
at least. This was virtually decided
by the Miners Federation today. al
though the ballot of the miners gave
an overwhelming majority in favor
of a strike.
Two reasons are given for the
decision: First, the weather, since a
walkout would be almost hopeless
In the cold Winter months, and
seconu, hopes that Prime Minister
Stanley Baldwin may exert pressure
on the coal owners,
Representatives of the miners are
meeting cabinet delegates today in an
attempt to hammer out provisional
settlement. The miners demand ad-
justmeni of wages on a national basis,
as provided by the coal act of 1880.
Despite this act, the coal owners have
been able to maintain the present
system, whereby wages differ accord
ing to districts.

day increase in pay and pensions of
81 a week at the age OF so. The
owners say they cannot afford this,
partly because of the enormous fees
they have to pay the landowners,
who possess the royalty rights in the
mine areas.
If, contrary to expectations, the
strike should be declared 1t would
come at an awkward moment for
industry. since the present stocks OF
coal in Great Britain would not last
more than three weeks, il is CAL
culated.
Cabinet Reconstruction.
Baldwin is expected to announce his
reconstruction of the cabinet today or
tomorrow. 1t is assumed that both
MacDonalds (Ramsey, former lord
president of the council and Malcolm,
his son and former minister of COL
onies) will remain in their present
posts and seek to return to the House
of Commons in by-elections.
The Tories are angry at the fan
tastic arithmetic" whereby the Ma
tional Labor party, which possesses
exactly eight seats in the House of
Commons. has three posts in the cabi-
net. The Liberal Nationals under Sir
John Simon-who only squeezed into
the House by the skin of his teeth
have 80 seats in Commons and no
fewer than four cabinet ministers.
The Conservatives, with a colossal
block of 384 seats, have to be salts
fled with the rest Of the cabinet posts,
about 20 in all But Baldwin wants to
maintain the pretense of national
government, and so the restless Tories
champ their lips in vain.

Ras Seyoum Again Repulsed in Rear
Guard Action.
WITH ITALIAN ARMIES AT
MAKALE, November az R.-The
redoubtable Ras Seyoum, beaten OF
by an italian column at Abaro Pass
yesterday, circled and attacked the
italian rear guard today, but was re-
pulsed again after q hot skirmish.
The leader of Ethiopian Northern
Army was reported In dispatches
from the Italian command In the Tenn,
bien region to have engaged Is bat
talions Of italian native troops who
form the head of the column now
attempting to reach Amba Alaji.
Four italian battalions Of infantry
and squadron Of cavalry reported
yesterday that they had smashed
through an Ethiopian ambuscade after
several hours fighting.
It was the rear Of the same column
that Ras Seyoum and his men at
tackled today, APPARENTLY after q fast
overnight march.
the Italians, however, were avail
ing the maneuver and were prepared.
They said they had repulsed the rear
guard attack without loss.
Casualties among Italian officers In
recent skirmishes with the Ethiopians
gave rise to the belief today that Halle
Selassie's warriors are concentrating
their fire on the white leaders OF the
italian native troops.
The death Of . captain was added
to the italian losses In recent engage
mentS.
-Four officers were wounded In an
engagement between the Danadl
column, under Gen. Oreste Mariotti,
and Ethiopians, at Azbi, November IS.
As the Italians fast-moying columns
are composed almost entirely Of black
natives, the white officers who COM
mand them are conspicuous targets
for enemy sharpshooters.

Nobody knows quite who will Sue
coed Monsieur Laval. It Is possible
President Lebrun will try and offe,
his people a new man in the person
Of Monsieur Mandel, the former sec.
retary of the Tiger-the late Georges
Ciemenceau. Whether Mandel will be
able to improve the situation is q
matter of speculation. Judged by his
past record and especially by the
opinion of his late chief he is less
able and less likely to put order in
Frances affairs than any of the
other possible candidates to the
premiership. But he Is new man
and that may induce Lebrun to try
him out-for a few weeks at least.

It is impossible for the present gov

the situation to maintain itself in
power.
The people of France have little
choice in the selection of a new

Ras Seyoum, beaten OF by an
Italian column yesterday at Abaro
Pass, turned and attacked the Italian
rear guard today, but was repulsed
again after q hot skirmish.
On the diplomatic front the "eye
for an eye" principle was enunciated
by the italian government In viewing
the efforts of the American Govern
ment to lend added strength to efforts
to end the war by outside pressure
upon Italy.
Only few weeks ago American oil
interests acceded to the wishes Of the
American State Department In with
drawing from an Ethiopian conces-
sion. During January to September
Of this year, Italy imported 467 ,299
quintales leach metric quintale weigh
ing 220.46 pounds avoirdupois) of
lubricating oils, Of which 404,347 were
frsm the United States.
At the same time the United States
supplied Italy with only So, STA quintales
Of gasoline out of total of l,I49, ,433
imported-but the United States never
theless was Italy,s greatest source for
this fuel, except for Rumania. Russia
and other nations subscribing to
League Of Nations economic sanctions.
Italian engineers conceded that if

the United States lead, Italy,s fuel

serious.

west Of Makale and killed its Italian

UTILITIES GROUP
TOCHOOSE ONEOF
|. REROUT|NG PLANS
3 Proposals Before Conn.,
mission at Meeting
Tomorrow.

Three plans for the rerouting OF
buses operating in the Randle High
lands -Hillcrest area are to be aired
before the Public Utilities Commis-
sion at hearing in the District Build
ing tomorrow.
Plan number one, suggested by the
commission, would have the buses
come up Naylor road to Thirty-second
street southeast, along Thirty-second
street to Camden street, along Cam
den TO Branch avenue and then re-
turn via Alabama avenue and Naylor
road TO the street car connection at
Seventeenth street and Pennsylvania
avenue.
This plan meets with the approval
of the Hillcrest group, but the Randle
Highlands Association opposed the
route on the grounds that residents
living on Pennsylvania avenue between
Minnesota avenue and Branch avenue
would be without service and they
proposed second plan.
RandIe Highlands Plan.
The second plan. suggested by the
Randle Highlands members. calls for
busses to go up Naylor road to Ala
bama avenue. along the avenue to the
top of the Pennsylvania avenue hill
and down Pennsylvania avenue to the
car line.
Members Of the Hillcrest Associa-
ton object to this on the grounds that
the buSses would be too crowded to
accommodate them and in many In
stances passengers would probably be
left behind until the next bus.
A compromise plan then was sug-
gested which would have the buses
run on Naylor road southeast to Ala
bama avenue, on Alabama avenue to
Branch avenue, on Branch avenue to
Pennsylvania avenue and then on
Pennsylvania avenue to the car line.
This route would be followed on the
quarter and hree-quarter- hour sched-
ule. The route would be reversed on
the half hour and the hour, thereby
eliminating the overcroWded condi-
tions that would probably occur should
plan two be adopted.
The Randle Highlands eroup at
their last meeting came to a compro-
mise in order to bring the situation
to satisfactory result. They favor
plan three, although they much pre-
fer their own plan. No. 2
A. w. Lee. president of the Randle
Highlands association, expressed the
opinion that plan three, although ia
vored by his association, was not the
most feasible in view of the fact that
residents of Summit Park would de-
rive little if any benefit from the
route.
FavOrs Third Plan.
Rudolph Malth, head of the Hill
crest group, is of the opinion that
plan three which is a compromise of
the one submitted by the commission
and the one submitted by Randle
Highlands, is the better for all con-
cerned, although he is not adverse to
plan one.
A decision on the route is expected
to be made by the commission to-
morrow
The bus schedule IN the Hillcrest
section at the present operates on a
20-minute service during rush hours.
On week days the schedule is from
$50 am. to $50 am. and from
$40 pm. to $50 pm. On Satur-
days. in the afternoon, it is from
1890 o'clock to 2:30. However.
Malth is trying to get better sched-
ule for the entire day and evening.
A revision in the schedule is expected
at any time, probably after the re-
routing controversy is settled.

taxpayers will be considerable.
The proposed easterly crossing
connects by diagonal route
Fourteenth street at Rhode Island
avenue with the intersection of
New York and West Virginia ave-
nues and passes beneath the tracks
by underpaSses about at the foot Of
Eighteenth street. AS both Four
teenth and Eighteenth streets ex-
tend all the way to the District
line, this route serves the Rhode
Island avenue, Brookland, Bur-
roughs and Michigan Park sections.
The committee report states that
the location chosen is ideal in that
1t provides naturally the necessary
difference In grade between the
railroad tracks and the existing
streets to which the crossing must
connect, thus eliminating the
possibility Of flooding the underpass
in severe storms. BY connecting at
the intersection Of New York and
West Virginia avenues, maximum
opportunities are afforded for traf-
f1c using the crossing to select
routes either into or out Of the
city.
The westerly or overhead cross
ing connects the intersection of
Brentwood road and T street with
the extension of Mount Olivet road,
and has been chosen to serve not
only crosstown but also radial
traffic. Furthermore, the report
states. it permits, and the bill
provides for, the crossing Of New
York avenue by an overhead
bridge where the topography is
naturally suited to such construc-
ton. The building of a ramp or
ramps down to New York avenue,
SO as to expedite traflc movement,
will reduce the hazard or interfer-
ence with through movement of
traffic on New York avenue. This
grade separation is an additional
feature not contemplated by the
1903 act.

southeast.
Although it is the custom for the
police department to be represented
at citizens meetings, they could
hardly spare two men for one asso-

thought he would substitute by DON

4 N APPEAL for cooperation has
"A been made to the Federation
Of Citizens Associations and
through it to its constituent bodies
in extending a welcome TO the visit
ing Shriners who will be with us in
such great numbers in June. The
appeal is from the Subcommittee
on Decorations and urges that the
decoration Of business establish
ments and homes be general
throughout the District.
So many appeals come to
these neighborhood associations for
all sorts of service requiring house
toulouse canvass that 1t has be-
come increasingly difficult to en-
list canvassers. The officers of
these bodies will tell you that they
encounter a greater variety of
alibis than has ever before been dis
covered. In many of these associa-
tions the Let George Do 1t Com
mittee" has the largest member
ship and there are many who re-
fuse to serve on any other COM
mittee.
The Decorations Committee,
headed by an old civic worker who
is not even a Shriner. is perfectly
familiar with the difficulties con-
fronting these organizations, but
earnestly appeals to the neighbor-
hood pride in the hope that there
may be real competition between
neighborhoods to show the largest
proportion of decorated premises.
This chairman is an optimist and
is confident the right sort of an
appeal will bring out a lot of folks
who will help George Do It."

from California has been received,
indicating that the machinery Ia
functioning. The most recent en-
couragement comes not from any
new conquestS, but from a new
appraisal Of the increasing value
of woman's influence. Said Col.
Louis McHenry Howe in a recent
statement:
II am going to make a very rash
propheSy. Within the next 10
years. if things go as they have
been going, the women's vote will
be larger than the meres In all
important elections, because when
a woman believes anything polit-
ically, she believes 1t, and her
conviction is real enough and strong
enough to lead her to the polls
even in bad weather when 1t would
be much more convenient to stay
home"
With the support of the women
of the country. through the Ma
tional League of Women Voters,
the National Council of Jewish
Women, the American Federation
of Soroptomist Clubs, the American
Federation of Teachers, Medical
Women's National Association, Ma
tional Women's Trade Union
League. Service Star League and
the Women's Homeopathic Medical
Fraternity, and with the General
Federation of Women's Clubs max
ing an earnest study of the ques-
ton, there appears to be a host
which will not be long in drawing
the attention Of the people in Con-
greSs who keep an ear to the
ground. Leaders of the Joint Com
mittee feel that If the prophesy Of
Col. Howe is correct. the movement
is destined TO advance by leaps and
bounds IN the near future.
